Geology and geochemistry of the Bingdaban ophiolitic mélange in the boundary fault zone on the northern Central Tianshan Belt,and its tectonic implications

The properties and tectonic significance of the fault bound zone on the northern margin of the Central Tianshan belt are key issues to understand the tectonic framework and evolutionary history of the Tianshan Orogenic Belt. Based on the geological and geochemical studies in the Tianshan orogenic belt, it is suggested that the ophiolitic slices found in the Bingdaban area represent the remaining oceanic crust of the Early Paleozoic ocean between the Hazakstan and Zhungaer blocks. Mainly composed of basalts, gabbros and diabases, the ophiolites were overthrust onto the boundary fault between the Northern Tianshan and Central Tianshan belts. The major element geochemistry is characterized by high TiO₂ (1.50%–2.25%) and MgO (6.64%–9.35%), low K₂O (0.06%–0.41%) and P₂O₅ (0.1%–0.2%), and Na₂O>K₂O as well. Low ΣREE and depletion in LREE indicate that the original magma was derived from a depleted mantle source. Compared with a primitive mantle, the geochemistry of the basalts from the Bingdaban area is featureded by depletion in Th, U, Nb, La, Ce and Pr, and unfractionated in HFS elements. The ratios of Zr/Nb, Nb/La, Hf/Ta, Th/Yb and Hf/Th are similar to those of the typical N-MORB. It can be interpreted that the basalts in the Bingdaban area were derived from a depleted mantle source, and formed in a matured mid-oceanic ridge setting during the matured evolutionary stage of the Northern Tianshan ocean. In comparison with the basalts, the diabases from the Bingdaban area show higher contents of Al₂O₃, ΣREE and HFS elements as well as unfractionated incompatible elements except Cs, Rb and Ba, and about 10 times the values of the primitive mantle. Thus, the diabases are thought to be derived from a primitive mantle and similar to the typical E-MORB. The diabases also have slight Nb depletion accompanying no apparent Th enrichment compared with N-MORB. From studies of the regional geology and all above evidence, it can be suggested that the diabases from the Bingdaban area were formed in the mid-oceanic ridge of the Northern Tianshan ocean during the initial spreading stage.

Geochemical Characteristics of the Plagiogranites in the Vicinity of Bingdaban,Central Tianshan

The tectonic and geochemical characteristics suggest that the plagiogranites exposed in the vicinity of Bingdaban on the northen margin of the central Tianshan uplift zone show a distinct mantle-source character, and their enrichment in LREE and selected enrichment in LILE(large ion lithophile elements)reflect a setting related to an arc tectonic regime.These rocks represent the products formed at shallow levels from mantle-derived magmas modified with subduction components(or super crustal rocks).

新疆冰达坂含金剪切带内组分分异及对金矿化的影响

新疆冰达坂含金剪切带内高品位金矿体更倾向定位于低应变带.选取典型剖面,对比蚀变围岩、矿石、未蚀变花岗质初糜棱岩及花岗质原岩组分特征,结果表明花岗质岩石容矿的金矿床剪切变形过程中组分发生分异,动力分异与流体分异对金矿化所起作用及相对程度不同,研究区金成矿主要与流体分异作用有关.流体分异作用过程中,相对于高应变带,低应变带内强分异形成的高Fe环境及扩容空间为金矿化、沉淀提供更有利条件,且碱(Na)交代排出的Si为浅层次硅化蚀变糜棱岩型及石英脉型矿化提供物源基础,K、 Ca、 Mg形成绢云母化、碳酸盐化、绿泥石化等蚀变,从而为区内金矿化定位及共生蚀变提供了合理解释.结合已有研究成果,认为钠长石化带下部应发育钾长石化带,且作为矿根相存在,矿带东、西段深部均有较好金矿化前景
