念青唐古拉花岗岩的同位素年龄测定及其地质意义

念青唐古拉花岗岩体位于西藏当雄县境内,是拉萨地块中部出露的巨型侵入岩岩基,其面积超过1500km2,以大面积出露的黑云母二长花岗岩为主体。本文分别应用单矿物K-Ar法、全岩-单矿物Rb-Sr等时线法和高灵敏度高分辨率离子探针法(SHRIMP-)对念青唐古拉岩体不同位置上的代表性岩石样品进行同位素测年,得到中细粒黑云母二长花岗岩的K-Ar年龄为8.49±0.14Ma,Rb-Sr等时线年龄为8.07±0.35Ma和8.70±1.40Ma,SHRIMPU-Pb年龄为18.3±0.4Ma;中粗粒黑云母二长花岗岩的K-Ar年龄为9.80±0.35Ma,Rb-Sr等时线年龄为9.33±0.41Ma,SHRIMPU-Pb年龄为11.01±0.24Ma。不同方法测年结果均表明念青唐古拉花岗岩形成于中新世,属拉萨地块内部最年轻的巨型花岗岩岩基,其侵位结晶时代处于青藏高原地壳由南北向挤压增厚向东西向伸展的转变时期,岩浆来源于地壳局部熔融,属后碰撞构造-岩浆活动的产物。     

内蒙古大井矿区及外围岩浆岩锆石U-Pb年龄及其对成矿时间的约束

大井是内蒙古东部地区的一处大型铜银锡多金属矿床,矿体呈脉状产出在二叠系林西组地层中,受NW或NWW向断裂控制。本文对大井矿区及其外围主要侵入岩体和火山岩开展了年代学和地球化学研究。LA-MC-ICP-MS锆石测年结果表明,大井矿区内靠近1号矿脉产出的2件霏细岩脉样品的锆石年龄分别为170.7±1.4Ma(MSWD=1.9)和170.7±1.1Ma(MSWD=1.3);矿区外围马鞍子黑云母二长花岗岩体的锆石年龄为279.7±1.3Ma(MSWD=0.74);唐家营子附近安山玢岩脉的锆石年龄为252.0±1.8Ma(MSWD=1.6);大四段村似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩体的锆石年龄为242.8±1.7Ma(MSWD=1.7);采自大坝南部的流纹质晶屑熔结凝灰岩、流纹质火山角砾熔岩和晶屑凝灰岩的锆石年龄分别为143.5±0.7Ma(MSWD=0.38),144.3±0.7Ma(MSWD=1.2)和145.3±1.0Ma(MSWD=2.5);小城子村南部石英斑岩脉的锆石年龄为146.1±0.9Ma(MSWD=1.7),安山玢岩脉的锆石年龄133.2±0.7Ma(MSWD=0.96)。反映本区至少存在四期岩浆活动,分别是海西晚期、印支早期、燕山早期和燕山中期。岩石地球化学分析结果表明,大井矿区及外围主要侵入岩(黑云母二长花岗岩、似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩、霏细岩、安山玢岩和石英斑岩)均为富SiO₂、富碱、准铝的钙碱性岩石,在SiO₂-K₂O图解上均落入"高钾钙碱系列"区。所有的岩石样品具有轻稀土分异明显、富集大离子亲石元素(LILE)的特征,其中Ba、Nb、Sr、P、Ti相对亏损,而Rb、Th、K、Ce、Nd、Hf、Sm、Y 和Yb相对富集。侵入岩和火山岩的年代学与岩石地球化学特征表明,马鞍子黑云母二长花岗岩和大四段村似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩的侵位可能与古亚洲洋的碰撞闭合有关,形成于挤压的构造环境;燕山早期侵入岩在本区并不发育,其形成环境还有待进一步查明,可能与西伯利亚板块和蒙古-华北板块之间的鄂霍茨克洋消亡及后碰撞造山有关;而燕山晚期大规模的侵入-火山喷发活动可能是由岩石圈减薄,区域大规模伸展所引起。根据本文对矿区内及外围侵入岩与火山岩的年代学研究,结合矿区地质和前人研究成果,认为大井铜银锡矿床的成矿主要与晚侏罗世-早白垩世岩浆活动(146~133Ma)有关,是区域伸展构造背景下岩浆活动的产物。     

中天山晚奥陶世碰撞造山:来自变质花岗岩地球化学及年代学证据

中天山包尔图一带发育一套变质变形的花岗岩,属钙碱性系列,其具有较高的Hf和Th含量,而Li、Nb和Ta的含量低;稀土总量中等,具中等铕负异常,稀土配分模式曲线为V型曲线;显示出加里东型I型花岗岩、同碰撞花岗岩的特征。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb测年获得了1207±87Ma、455.6±1.8Ma和433±19Ma 3组年龄,其中1207±87Ma代表了碎屑锆石的年龄,说明包尔图一带存在元古宙古老基底;455.6±1.8Ma代表了包尔图岩体的侵位年龄,代表了北天山洋与中天山陆块早古生代一次重要碰撞造山事件;433±19Ma则代表了包尔图岩体侵入岩的后期变质改造年龄,说明早志留世中天山发生过一次变质作用。这次研究的成果对揭示中天山地区的构造演化有着重要的意义。     

桂北新元古代强过铝花岗岩的成因：锆石年代学和Hf同位素制约

处于江南造山带的西端的桂北发育有大量前寒武纪火成岩,其中,强过铝花岗岩所占面积大于90%,镁铁-超镁铁质岩大约为8%。强过铝的花岗岩在地球化学特征上可分为花岗闪长岩和花岗岩两种类型。一些学者认为它们的形成与(超级)地幔柱活动和Rodinia超大陆的裂解有关。本文对桂北地区的花岗岩进行了La-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学和La-MC-ICP- MS锆石Hf同位素研究,寨滚、本洞、峒马、三防和田朋岩体的形成年龄分别为835．8±2．5 Ma,822．7±3．8 Ma,824±13 Ma,804．3±5．2 Ma和794．2±8．1 Ma。定年结果表明,地球化学特征不同的两类花岗岩成岩年龄也不相同：花岗闪长岩的年龄为835～820 Ma,花岗岩则形成于810～800 Ma期间。锆石核部8个分析点和捕获锆石2个分析点给出了870 Ma到950 Ma的新元古代早期年龄值,可能记录了本区与江南造山带东部对应的950～870 Ma期间俯冲或碰撞导致的岩浆事件。本洞、三防和田朋岩体锆石的(~(196)Hf/~(177)Hf)_i比值分别为0．282176±0．000021、0．282149±0．000021和0．282175±0．000030。其ε(?)(t)值、Hf模式年龄与它们的ε_(Nd)(t)值、Nd模式年龄所展现出来的特征一致,表明桂北强过铝花岗岩主要是由基底沉积岩系部分熔融形成的,花岗闪长岩的源区有相对更多的幔源镁铁质组分。桂北这些花岗岩的年龄揭示了一个大约35Ma的岩浆事件,其形成不能用岩浆活动周期短(通常为1～5Ma)的地幔柱模型解释。这些花岗岩在构造判别图解中也位于碰撞和后碰撞区,形成于扬子和华夏板块间的碰撞高峰(约870Ma)之后,应属后碰撞花岗岩类。在俯冲板片折断和岩石圈拆沉之后,深部地幔的上涌和所伴随的拉张作用可能会导致基底岩石部分熔融产生了这些强过铝花岗岩。     

安徽庐江—枞阳地区A型花岗岩的LA-ICP-MS定年及其地质意义

本文对安徽庐江-枞阳地区产出的A型花岗岩体(碱性侵入岩体)进行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素年代学研究.结果表明,城山岩体、花山岩体、黄梅尖岩体和枞阳岩体的形成年龄分别为126.5±2.1Ma、126.2 ±0.8Ma、125.4±1.7Ma和124.8±2.2Ma,均形成于早白垩世126～124Ma之间.这些岩体的硅含量和全碱含量均较高,准铝质;稀土含量中等,强Eu亏损,呈略右倾的海鸥型稀土配分模式,均为A1型花岗岩.结合长江中下游地区高碱钙碱性侵入岩和盆地内火山岩的研究成果,本文认为126～124Ma是长江中下游地区地壳伸展最强烈的阶段,这一研究成果时探讨长江中下游地区早白垩世早期的动力学背景具有重要的意义.

广西大厂锡矿田侵入岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄及其意义

应用高精度SHRIMP锆石U-Pb方法对广西大厂锡矿田不同类型中—酸性侵入岩进行了系统的定年研究,获得龙箱盖含斑黑云母花岗岩的成岩年龄为93±1Ma,斑状花岗岩91±1Ma,石英闪长玢岩脉(西岩墙)91±1Ma,花岗斑岩脉(东岩墙)91±1Ma,四者在测试误差范围内基本一致,微量元素特征及稀土配分模式相近,为同期不同阶段岩浆活动的产物。区内成岩与锡多金属成矿的时代相一致,均形成于板内伸展剪切的构造环境,应同属燕山晚期构造—热事件的产物。     

内蒙古长山壕金矿区花岗岩同位素年代学研究及地质意义

长山壕金矿床是近年来在内蒙古中西段找到的一特大型金矿床。尽管金矿化在中元古界白云鄂博群变质沉积岩内呈层状、似层状和透镜状产出,但是与各类花岗岩类侵入岩具有密切空间分布关系。本次研究采用LA-ICP-MS方法分别对有关花岗岩类侵入岩进行了系统年代学研究,花岗斑岩和二长花岗斑岩样品的锆石U-Pb年龄值分别为290.9±2.8Ma (MSWD=1.4)和287.5±1.9Ma (MSWD=2.4);2件黑云母花岗岩样品的年龄值分别为267.9±1.2Ma (MSWD=0.95)和274.0±2.3Ma (MSWD=1.4)。根据上述同位素年龄数据,同时结合金矿区野外地质调查和岩(矿)相学证据,可以认为,长山壕金矿区花岗斑岩和二长花岗斑岩及相关金矿床的形成时间为早二叠世早期,并且遭受到早二叠世晚期-中二叠世早期构造-岩浆活动的叠加改造,矿区切穿含金矿脉黑云母花岗岩体的存在就是很好的例证。强烈的中酸性岩浆作用为金矿床的形成提供了动力、热力和物质来源,初步研究结果表明,长山壕金矿床是海西期构造-岩浆作用及相关流体活动的产物,属于与侵入岩有关的中温热液脉型金矿床。     

内蒙古达茂旗北部早古生代花岗岩类SHRIMP U-Pb年代学

本文对内蒙古达茂旗北部的岛弧侵入岩进行了精确的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年研究和地球化学研究。该侵入岩具有正常岛弧和埃达克岩的双重地球化学性质。SHRIMP 锆石U-Pb定年表明,这套侵入岩中的闪长岩形成于452±3 Ma 和440±2 Ma,石英闪长岩形成于446±2 Ma,花岗闪长岩形成于440±2 Ma,它们记录了晚奥陶纪末的洋壳消减事件。在一个细粒闪长岩中,分辩出了1967±13 Ma （n=3）的继承性锆石,指示这一岛弧可能具有一个前寒武纪的大陆基底。     

Tectonic Framework of Late Paleozoic Intrusions in Xingxingxia: Implications for Final Closure of South Tianshan Ocean in East Tianshan

This work carried out systematic geological field investigation, petrography observation, zircon geochronology and whole rock geochemistry on Late Paleozoic intrusions in the Xingxingxia region near the Xinjiang-Gansu provincial boundary, western China, aiming to constrain the Late Paleozoic tectonic framework of the Xingxingxia region and the final closure time of South Tianshan Ocean in the East Tianshan. The Xingxingxia area is located in the east part of the Tianshan orogen, and adjacent to the north of the Tarim Basin. The Late Paleozoic magma activities in the Xingxingxia region can be mainly divided into three stages. The first stage includes intrusive magma activities under a collision setting between Late Ordovician to the Late Devonian. The second stage is intrusive magma activities under a subduction setting during(304±3)–(278±3) Ma, and the third stage involves intrusive magma activities under a collision and post-collision setting during(268±5)–(259.9±2.6) Ma. The final suture zone of South Tianshan Ocean should be between the Central Tianshan Block and South Tianshan accretionary complex. Based on previous work, both the first stage magma activities(i.e., intrusive magmatic activities between the Late Ordovician to Late Devonian) and the Hongliuhe ophiolitic complex indicate a close event between Central Tianshan Block and South Tianshan Accretionary Complex. The 304±3 Ma dioritic metamorphic gneiss of the XingX ingxia complex and the 278±3 Ma diorite are all island arc calc-alkaline rocks, the 289±3 Ma gabbro is island arc tholeiitic gabbro formed by magma from metasomatic enrichment mantle. All these results indicate that the second stage of magmatic activities is under a subduction setting. The third stage magma activities i.e. the granitic magma activities of(268±5)–(259.9±2.6) Ma occurred at a transitional setting from compressional to post-collision extensional tectonic setting. Thus, around(268±5)–(260±3) Ma, the final closure of the South Tianshan Ocean occurred and the Tianshan orogen shifted into the intracontinental evolution stage. During and after the closure process, a wide range of metamorphism and large dextral strike-slip faults developed.     

新疆中天山乔霍特铜矿区I型花岗岩锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

新疆中天山乔霍特铜矿位于中天山南缘,毗邻南天山缝合带。矿区南侧出露有1个花岗闪长岩岩体,该岩体与包裹于赋矿火山岩中的钾长花岗岩均属钙碱性弱过铝质I型花岗岩,具有相似的地球化学特征,富集LILE、亏损HFSE,具显著的Eu、Ta、Nb、Ti负异常,其形成可能与南天山洋的北向俯冲密切相关。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年获得花岗闪长岩年龄为450.4±1.1Ma,钾长花岗岩年龄为430.8±4.1Ma,指示晚奥陶世时期,乔霍特地区存在南天山洋向中天山复合弧地体之下的俯冲;早志留世晚期,俯冲作用依然持续,此时,天山地区岩浆活动强烈。乔霍特铜矿赋矿火山岩的形成时代晚于431Ma,矿区南侧出露的花岗闪长岩早于赋矿火山岩形成,成矿作用可能与花岗闪长岩的侵位无直接关系。     

西天山乌孙山地区大哈拉军山组碎屑锆石U-Pb定年及其地质意义

西天山伊犁地区广泛出露的大哈拉军山组火山-沉积岩系,是研究西天山早石炭世古地理格局和天山古生代造山作用演化过程最为直接的载体。文章对西天山乌孙山地区大哈拉军山组砂岩样品进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年。结果显示,其碎屑锆石206Pb/238U表面年龄分布范围较宽((321±2)~(435±2)Ma),按年龄及频率分布特征大致可以划分为2组:321~372 Ma和395~435 Ma。结合锆石的矿物学特征、CL图像特点及乌孙山区域地质资料,初步获得以下认识:(1)西天山乌孙山地区大哈拉军山组沉积时代不晚于早石炭世晚期;(2)所研究砂岩的碎屑物质主要来源于乌孙山及南部那拉提山相关的火山岩浆岩;(3)西天山造山带在中—晚泥盆世期间经历了一次重要的洋陆转换事件。早石炭世以后,进入后碰撞裂谷伸展演化阶段,因此大哈拉军山组火山-沉积岩系形成后碰撞伸展构造环境。     

SHRIMP Zircon U‐Pb Dating of Alkaline Dykes in the Pobei Area,Beishan Rift,Xinjiang Autonomous Region,China: Implications for Tectonic Setting and Mantle Plume Events

In the Beishan rift in the eastern Tianshan orogen, Xinjiang Province, a N-S-trending dyke swarm is present in the Pobei area. The swarm cuts through the 270–290 Ma mafic-ultramafic intrusions associated with Ni-Cu sulphide mineralization. These mafic-ultramafic intrusions are typically found along E-W major faults in the Tianshan orogenic belts. We report SHRIMP U-Pb dating of zircons from a dyke of alkaline composition, which yielded a mean age of 252±9 Ma. Alkaline dykes of the same age are found in the Altay region of Siberia. This age is younger than the 270–290 Ma intraplate magmatic events that produced the mafic-ultramafic intrusions in the region, but in general agreement with the 250–260 Ma Permian plume event that gave rise to the Siberian traps and the Emeishan flood basalts in SW China. We suggest that there is a link between the Emeishan event and the dyke swarm in the Beishan rift and that the intraplate magmatism at 270–290 Ma reflects an early stage of mantle plume activity. The N-S trending dyke swarm in the Beishan rift may represent a later stage in the evolution of mantle plume activity in the NW and SW of China. We also speculate that in Beishan rift and possibly elsewhere in the Tianshan region, the dykes fed basaltic volcanism, whose products have since been eroded due to the strong uplift of the Tianshan orogen as a result of the India-Eurasia collision in the Cenozoic.     

Petrogenesis of early Silurian intrusions in the Sanchakou area of Eastern Tianshan,Northwest China,and tectonic implications: geochronological,geochemical, and Hf isotopic evidence

ABSTRACT

Palaeozoic intrusions in Eastern Tianshan are important for understanding the evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). The Sanchakou intrusions situated in Eastern Tianshan (southern CAOB), are mainly quartz diorite and granodiorite. A comprehensive study of zircon U–Pb ages, zircon trace elements, whole-rock geochemistry, and Lu–Hf isotopes were carried out for the Sanchakou intrusive rocks. LA-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb dating yielded crystallization ages of 439.7 ± 2.5 Ma (MSWD = 0.63, n = 21) for the quartz diorite, and 430.9 ± 2.5 Ma (MSWD = 0.21, n = 21) and 425.5 ± 2.7 Ma (MSWD = 0.04; n = 20) for the granodiorites. These data, in combination with other Silurian ages reported for the intrusive suites from Eastern Tianshan, indicate an early Palaeozoic magmatic event in the orogen. In situ zircon Hf isotope data for the Sanchakou quartz diorite shows ε_Hf(t) values of +11.2 to +19.6, and the two granodioritic samples exhibit similar ε_Hf(t) values from +13.0 to +19.5. The Sanchakou plutons show metaluminous to weakly peraluminous, arc-type geochemical and low-K tholeiite affinities, and display trace element patterns characterized by enrichment in K, Ba, Sr, and Sm, and depletion in Nb, Ta, Pb, and Ti. The geochemical and isotopic signatures indicate that the Sanchakou dioritic and granodioritic magmas were sourced from a subducted oceanic slab, and subsequently underwent some interaction with peridotite in the mantle wedge. Combined with the regional geological history, we suggest the Sanchakou intrusions formed due to the northward subduction of the Palaeo-Tianshan Ocean beneath the Dananhu–Tousuquan arc during early Silurian time.     

新疆巴音布鲁克地区奥陶纪侵入岩地球化学特征及其构造意义

巴音布鲁克地区位于中天山地块中天山多期复合陆缘岩浆弧。通过研究发现,该地区奥陶纪侵入岩岩性主要为石英闪长岩、花岗闪长岩、二长花岗岩。通过锆石U-Pb定年识别出中奥陶世(462.7±6.2) Ma、(463.4±2.8) Ma、(471.5±5.9) Ma侵入体,岩石地球化学结果表明岩体具有准铝质钙碱性系列岩石特征。稀土元素配分型式呈明显的右倾模式,具负Eu异常,微量元素显示出大离子亲石元素富集、高场强元素亏损的配分模式。地球化学特征指示侵入体形成于俯冲碰撞环境,其岩浆来源为壳幔混源岩浆。综合分析认为,南天山洋盆初始向北发生俯冲作用的时间为中奥陶世早期,与俯冲过程中的右旋运动有关,岩浆活动在中天山地区显示出由西部逐步向东部扩展演化的规律。     

新疆东天山觉罗塔格地区自然铜矿化玄武岩的成岩年代及其地质意义

Age and geochemistry of the Carboniferous-Permian magmatism and Fe-Ti-V oxide metallogeny in the Eastern Tianshan Orogen,NW China: evidence from the Yaxi mafic-ultramafic complex

ABSTRACT

The Eastern Tianshan Orogen (Xinjiang, NW China) in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is featured by its many Carboniferous-Triassic mafic-ultramafic intrusions and associated magmatic Fe-Ti-V oxide mineralization. In this study, we present the first systematic data comparison on the age and whole-rock geochemistry of the ore-forming mafic-ultramafic complexes at Yaxi, Niumaoquan, Xiangshanxi, and Weiya. Our new age dating on the Yaxi complex indicates that the mineralized gabbro (zircon SHRIMP U-Pb dated 297.3 ± 4.9 Ma) formed in the latest Carboniferous-Early Permian, similar to the diorite (LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dated 308.3 ± 8.6 Ma) and granodiorite (LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dated 304.9 ± 1.7 Ma). The Yaxi complex is the oldest late Palaeozoic mafic-ultramafic intrusion reported so far in the Eastern Tianshan. The mineralized gabbro at Yaxi contains higher average Fe₂O_3T (20.83 wt.%), TiO₂ (5.91 wt.%), and V (523 ppm) contents than its ore-barren counterpart (7.45 wt.%, 0.99 wt.%, and 133 ppm, respectively). These Eastern Tianshan mafic rocks are mildly large ion lithophile element (LILE) enriched and high field-strength element (HFSE) depleted, and with LREE/HREE enrichment (Yaxi: (La/Yb)_N = 2.7 ~ 5.37) and subtle positive Eu anomalies (Yaxi: Eu/Eu* = 0.94 to 3.31). This suggests that the Eastern Tianshan mafic-ultramafic magmas were likely derived from an arc/subduction-modified magma source. The E-W trending crustal-scale faults (e.g. the Aqikkuduk fault) may have acted as magma conduits and controlled the magma emplacement. The spatial-temporal distribution of the Eastern Tianshan Fe-Ti-V ore-forming mafic-ultramafic complexes and their petrologic and geochemical features suggest that the latest Carboniferous-Early Permian magmatic phase was likely emplaced in a collision-related compression setting following the Junggar Ocean closure, whereas the late Early Permian phase may have been related to a post-collisional orogenic setting.     

Chronological constraints on the tectonic evolution of the Chinese Tianshan Orogen through detrital zircons from modern and palaeo-river sands

The Chinese Tianshan Orogen marks prolonged and complicated interactions between the southwestern Palaeo-Asian Ocean and surrounding blocks. New and previously published detrital zircon chronological data from modern and palaeo-river sands were compiled to reveal its tectonic evolution. It is characterized by predominant Palaeozoic as well as minor Mesozoic and Precambrian detrital zircon ages with a multimodal characteristic. The oldest Phanerozoic zircon population (peaking at 475 Ma) is a result of subduction and closure of the early Palaeozoic Terskey Ocean. However, the absence of this peak in the Chinese North and southern South Tianshan suggests that subductions of the North and South Tianshan oceans may not have initiated until the Late Ordovician with subsequent 460–390 and 360–320 Ma arc magmatism. Similar to the magmatic suite in classic collisional orogens, the youngest massive 320–270 Ma magmatism is suggested to be post-collisional. The North and South Tianshan oceans therefore probably had their closure to form the Chinese Tianshan Orogen during the late Carboniferous. The weak Mesozoic intra-plate magmatism further rejects a late Permian–Triassic Tianshan Orogen due to a lack of extensive syn- and post-collisional magmatism. Moreover, diverse Precambrian detrital zircon age patterns indicate that the surrounding blocks have distinct evolutionary processes with short-term amalgamation during the Meso- to Neoproterozoic.     

西南天山萨瓦亚尔顿金(锑)矿床成矿时代与赋矿地层时代

通过对萨瓦亚尔顿金（锑）矿床矿石中共生石英的流体包裹体作Rb-Sr等时线年龄（231±10Ma） 的研究,表明成矿时代为印支期,与南天山造山带陆内造山晚阶段一致。由于矿区主体赋矿地层的（2）（3） 岩性段中无化石,故采集其中的一组无矿石英脉作包裹体Rb-Sr等时线年龄（389±42Ma） ,推测赋矿地层年龄上限为志留 泥盆纪。根据近年来在赋矿岩系的（1）（1） 段所发现的动物化石年代依据,指出含矿浊积岩系东部和西部二个岩性段即（1） 和（4）段为石炭系。
