Petrogenesis of Permo-Triassic intrusive rocks in Northern Liaoning Province,NE China: implications for the closure of the eastern Paleo-Asian Ocean

ABSTRACT

The Changchun-Yanji belt recorded widespread Permo-Triassic magmatism, but their origins remain unclear, inhibiting a comprehensive understanding of the magmatic response to the final closure of the Paleo-Asian ocean in the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). Here, we present new geochronological, geochemical, and Hf isotopic data for the Permo-Triassic plutons from Northern Liaoning province, NE China. Combined the published ages with our new data, the Permo-Triassic magmatism in the eastern CAOB can be divided into five episodes: early Permian (293–274 Ma), middle–late Permian (270–257 Ma), latest late Permian–Middle Triassic (255–242 Ma), Late Triassic (240–215 Ma), and latest Late Triassic (209–200 Ma). The middle Permian and Late Triassic mafic plutons (i.e. ~266 Ma Mengjiagou gabbro–diorite, ~240 Ma Jiancaicun gabbro and ~224 Ma Shudetun gabbro-diorite) contain relatively high TFe₂O₃, MgO, Cr and Ni contents with positive ε_Hf(t) values (+1.2 to +7.2), suggesting a depleted mantle origin. These mafic rocks together with the coeval granitoids make up typical bimodal associations, suggesting that they were formed under an extensional environment. The conclusions are also supported by occurrence of A-type granites during 270–257 Ma and 240–215 Ma. By contrast, the granitoids of 255–242 Ma in the eastern CAOB, including the Jianshanzi (~251 Ma) and Daganhe (~242 Ma) monzogranites, show typical geochemical features of adakitic granites, with high Sr/Y ratios and negative ε_Hf(t) values (–8.6 to – 22.0), suggesting that the magmas were generated through partial melting of thickened ancient lower crust. Combined with previous studies, a four-stage tectonic evolution scenario was proposed: (1) active continental margin stage during 293–274 Ma; (2) continuing subduction resulted in the initiation collision, moderate crustal thickening, and slab break-off during 270–257 Ma; (3) final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean associated with continued crustal thickening occurred during 255–242 Ma; (4) lithospheric delamination in a post-collisional extensional environment occurred during 240–215 Ma.     

Geochronology, Geochemistry and Sr-Nd-Hf Isotopes of Early–Middle Triassic Adakitic Plutons in Central-eastern Jilin Province, NE China: Constraints on the Non-synchronous Closure of Paleo-Asian Ocean

The Changchun–Yanji suture zone (CYSZ) in NE China is considered as the suture between the North China Craton (NCC) and Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). The geochronology, geochemistry and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopes of Early–Middle Triassic adakitic plutions from the CYSZ, are presented in this paper to discuss their petrogenesis and tectonic setting, as well as to constrain the timing and style of the Paleo-Asian Ocean''s final closure. In Early Triassic, the Dayushan pluton (ca. 250 Ma) from western CYSZ has negative εNd(t) values, bidirectional provenances (NCC and CAOB) of εHf(t), which are formed in a collision tectonic setting. In contrast, in eastern CYSZ, the early Triassic samples in Liangshan (ca. 242 Ma) were high Mg# values, positive εNd(t), single provenances (CAOB) of εHf(t) resulting from a subduction setting. In the Middle Triassic, the A-type granites in western CYSZ are found in previous studies representing a post-collisional extensional environment, whereas syn-collisional Lianyanfeng granites (ca. 237 Ma) in eastern CYSZ with low ISr and large scale εNd(t) and εHf(t) values from bidirectional provenances (NCC and CAOB), represent a collisional setting. The Paleo-Asian Ocean''s occurred in a scissor-like fashion along the CYSZ during the Triassic period.     

Geochronology and geochemistry of metasedimentary rocks from the Dongnancha Formation in the Huadian area,central Jilin Province,Northeast (NE) China: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the eastern segment of the Paleo-Asian Ocean

To constrain the tectonic evolution of the eastern segment of the Paleo-Asian Ocean, we conducted zircon U–Pb-Hf dating and whole-rock geochemical analyses for metasedimentary rocks from the Dongnancha Formation in the Huadian area in central Jilin Province, Northeastern (NE) China. Most detrital zircons from the metasedimentary rocks display clear oscillatory zoning and striped absorption in cathodoluminescence (CL) images and have Th/U ratios of 0.1–1.8, thus indicating a magmatic origin. U–Pb isotopic dating using LA-ICP-MS method for zircon samples from the metasedimentary rocks reveals that the depositional age can be constrained to the period between 250 and 222 Ma. Geochemical data reveal low to intermediate degrees of weathering of the source material and compositionally low to intermediate maturity. Detailed analyses of detrital zircon U–Pb-Hf geochronology and geochemistry show that these metasedimentary rocks are derived from a bidirectional provenance. The predominant derivation is from Permian–Early Triassic felsic-intermediate igneous rocks of central Jilin Province and adjacent regions in the northern margin of the North China Craton, although felsic-intermediate igneous rocks and continental material in the eastern segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt from the Cambrian–Carboniferous represent additional sources and minor amounts of Paleoproterozoic–Neoproterozoic material have been input from the North China Craton. A number of geochemical indicators and tectonic discrimination diagrams collectively indicate a continental island arc-active continental margin setting for the deposition of the protoliths of the metasedimentary rocks. The results of geochemical and geochronological analyses of the provenance and tectonic setting of the metasedimentary rocks indicate that the Dongnancha Formation was likely deposited in an intermountain basin in a post-orogenic fast uplift setting, suggesting that the final closure of the eastern segment of the Paleo-Asian Ocean in the Huadian area of central Jinlin Province likely occurred between the Early Triassic and Middle Triassic.     

古亚洲洋东段晚古生代演化过程:辽宁北部法库地区花岗岩年代学和地球化学的制约

本文对华北克拉通北缘东段辽宁北部法库地区东小陵岩体、前旧门岩体、胡家屯岩体及柏家沟岩体进行了岩相学、地球化学、锆石U-Pb定年以及Lu-Hf同位素研究,以此制约古亚洲洋东段演化过程。岩相学特征表明,本文所研究岩体主要为花岗质岩石,普遍遭受了后期的动力变质作用改造。锆石测年结果显示,东小陵岩体及前旧门岩体形成于中二叠世（264.6±5.9Ma、262.8±3.5Ma）,胡家屯岩体及柏家沟岩体分别形成于晚二叠世（257.7±3.1Ma）及早三叠世（248.2±1.5Ma）。岩石地球化学表明,东小陵岩体及胡家屯岩体皆属于准铝质-弱过铝质、高钾钙碱性A型花岗岩,形成于造山后伸展环境;前旧门岩体属于准铝质-弱过铝质、钙碱性-高钾钙碱性高分异Ⅰ型花岗岩,形成于火山弧环境;柏家沟岩体属于准铝质-弱过铝质、高钾钙碱性-钾玄岩性Ⅰ型花岗岩,形成于同碰撞造山环境。研究区花岗质岩体皆富集大离子亲石元素（LILEs）和轻稀土元素（LREEs）,并且亏损高场强元素（HFSEs）和重稀土元素（HREEs）,结合Lu-Hf同位素特征,认为其原始岩浆应受到了俯冲流体交代的岩石圈地幔的影响。综合前人研究,本文认为在中二叠世-早三叠世期间,研究区经历了古亚洲板块的俯冲、闭合过程。

     

孙吴地区中侏罗世白云母花岗岩的年代学与地球化学:对蒙古-鄂霍茨克洋闭合时间的限定

本文对孙吴地区白云母花岗岩行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学和岩石地球化学研究,确定其形成时代、岩石成因,从而揭示区域构造背景。孙吴地区白云母花岗岩中的锆石均呈半自形-自形,振荡生长环带明显,暗示其岩浆成因。测年结果显示,白云母花岗岩形成于168Ma,为中侏罗世岩浆事件的产物。岩体具有高硅(Si O2=74.61%~80.16%)、富铝(Al2O3=10.59%~13.90%)、贫铁(Fe2O3=0.11%~0.3%)等特征,在化学上属于准铝质-过铝质(A/CNK=0.97~1.13)系列。孙吴地区白云母花岗相对富集轻稀土元素(LREEs)和大离子亲石元素(LILEs),亏损重稀土元素(HREEs)和高场强元素(HFSEs)。锆石的εHf(168Ma)=+7.53~+11.66,二阶段的模式年龄(tDM2)变化于595~966Ma之间。上述特征表明,孙吴地区中侏罗世白云母花岗岩的岩浆起源于新增生加厚陆壳物质的部分熔融。结合在大兴安岭与小兴安岭衔接地区变质杂岩和冀北-辽西地区区域性地层不整合面的存在,表明大兴安岭西坡-冀北-辽西地区中侏罗世经历了一次与蒙古-鄂霍茨克洋闭合有关的陆壳加厚过程。因此,研究区内中侏罗世白云母花岗岩的形成应与蒙古-鄂霍茨克洋闭合过程中的陆-陆碰撞作用有关,而与古环太平洋向欧亚大陆的俯冲作用无关,其形成时代也限定额尔古纳地块西北部蒙古-鄂霍茨克洋的闭合时间应为中侏罗世。     

中国东北地区蛇绿岩

我国东北地区位于中亚造山带的东段,经历了复杂的增生造山过程,其所属微陆块的基底属性及拼贴位置、洋-陆转换一直是地学界研究的热点。根据近年来的研究进展,我们将东北地区微陆块划分为额尔古纳地块、兴安增生地体、松嫩-锡林浩特地块和佳木斯地块。同时综述了东北地区蛇绿岩/蛇绿混杂岩带的时空分布、年代学及地球化学的新资料,讨论了其构造背景及俯冲-增生过程。东北地区增生造山不仅涉及古亚洲洋和古太平洋,还可能与泛大洋有关,包括早奥陶世-晚三叠世古亚洲洋主洋盆及古亚洲洋分支——新元古代-晚寒武世新林-喜桂图洋、早寒武世-晚石炭世嫩江洋、新元古代-晚志留世黑龙江洋和晚二叠世-中侏罗世牡丹江洋的演化。早石炭世末-晚石炭世初,东北地区古亚洲洋分支洋盆全部闭合,所有微陆块完成聚合形成统一的东北陆块群。晚二叠世-早三叠世时期,古亚洲洋主洋盆沿索伦-西拉木伦-长春-延吉缝合带自西向东从早到晚以剪刀式最终闭合,完成东北陆块群与华北板块的拼接。晚三叠世-早侏罗世时期古太平洋板块俯冲启动,东北地区进入古太平洋俯冲增生构造体系。     

古亚洲洋东段闭合时限：来自大兴安岭南段二叠系-三叠系界线沉积地层和碎屑锆石年代学的制约

古亚洲洋东段的具体闭合时限长期以来存在争议,重要原因在于缺乏相应时期的典型沉积剖面研究。近期,笔者在大兴安岭南段阿鲁科尔沁旗地区新发现一套保存较好的二叠-三叠系沉积序列,其详细记录了古亚洲洋闭合过程。本文以此为研究对象,重点对上二叠统林西组和下三叠统老龙头组开展沉积学和碎屑锆石年代学研究。上二叠统林西组上部为一套湖泊相沉积,下三叠统老龙头组为一套河湖相沉积,底部为冲积扇辫状河砾岩层。两套地层界线附近沉积环境发生剧变,气候从温暖湿润转变为炎热干旱,确定研究区林西组沉积时代为晚二叠世长兴期,老龙头组沉积时代为早三叠世奥伦尼克期,两者为平行不整合接触关系,两者之间存在短暂沉积间断。林西组砂岩重矿物含量丰富,类型多样,原岩为中酸性岩浆岩、基性岩浆岩、少部分变质岩及沉积岩;老龙头组砂岩重矿物类型少,原岩为中酸性岩浆岩和少量变质岩。林西组2个碎屑岩样品最年轻峰值年龄分别为255±2Ma和255±1Ma,ε_Hf(t)=-22.84~+13.17,变化范围较大。老龙头组2个碎屑岩样品最年轻峰值年龄分别为248±1Ma和249±1Ma,ε_Hf(t)=7.95~11.28。结合重矿物、碎屑锆石和Hf同位素研究,确定林西组物源主要来自于兴蒙造山带,少量可能来自于华北板块,具有复杂物源、远距离搬运再沉积的特征。老龙头组物源主要来自于兴蒙造山带,具有周缘近距离搬运沉积的特征。通过区域对比上二叠统林西组与下三叠统老龙头组碎屑锆石携带年代学信息,推测古亚洲洋东段沿着西拉木伦河缝合带在晚二叠世发生汇聚碰撞作用,古亚洲洋东段闭合作用至少持续至早三叠世,老龙头组沉积期发生强烈汇聚造山作用,老龙头组是古亚洲洋闭合板块碰撞作用的产物。

     

内蒙古温都尔庙和巴彦敖包-交其尔蛇绿岩的元素与同位素地球化学：对古亚洲洋东部地幔域特征的限制

内蒙古中部发育的三条蛇绿岩带是华北板块和西伯利亚板块之间的缝合带。本文系统研究了其中的温都尔庙和巴彦敖包．交其尔两个蛇绿岩带中变质玄武岩的元素和Sr、Nd、Pb同位素地球化学。苏右旗温都尔庙碱性玄武岩为轻稀土富集型;岩石具有板内和大陆裂谷区玄武岩的特征,可能代表了600Ma左右,温都尔庙地区开始发育的新洋盆。采自苏左旗的巴彦敖包．交其尔玄武岩分为两类,一类呈现轻稀土富集型,呈洋岛玄武岩特征;另一类具有明显的Nb、Ta负异常,显示大洋岛孤玄武岩特征。洋岛玄武岩的存在表明古亚洲洋曾经发育洋盆,大洋岛弧玄武岩的存在表明古亚洲洋内部有大洋岩石圈之间的俯冲。将本文的古亚洲洋洋岛玄武岩与中国西南地区的特提斯洋岛玄武岩进行系统的元素和同位素地球化学特征对比表明,古亚洲洋的洋岛玄武岩显示高U／Pb（HU）和北大西洋和太平洋省的特征,而特提斯洋岛玄武岩属于印度洋省。这些说明古亚洲洋地幔域与特提斯地幔域是两个独立的构造域,它们代表了长期演化的两个不同的地幔地球化学域。     

Final Closure Time of the Paleo‐Asian Ocean: Implication from the Provenance Transformation from the Yangjiagou Formation to Lujiatun Formation in the Jiutai Area,NE China

The Jiutai area is tectonically situated at the eastern segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt(CAOB) and is close to the North China Craton(NCC) to the south, serving as an ideal place to investigations of the closure of the PaleoAsian Ocean(PAO). Sandstone samples collected from the Yangjiagou Formation and the Lujiatun Formation in this area have been studied in detail in terms of petrology, geochronology and geochemistry. The maximum depositional time of the Yangjiagou and Lujiatun formations has been constrained to early Middle Triassic(ca. 245 Ma) and middle Late Triassic(ca. 219 Ma), respectively. The Yangjiagou Formation, with a major provenance of dissected island arcs, is dominantly composed of Phanerozoic sediments from Northeastern China(NE China) massifs. The Lujiatun Formation, with major sediments from active continental margins, has a relatively larger proportion of Precambrian sediments, in which the ～1.85 Ga and ～2.5 Ga sediments are typical of the crystalline basements of the NCC and NE China massifs, which were uplifted and eroded during the closure of the PAO. Besides, both formations show the enrichment in LREEs and the depletion in HREEs, the common Eu negative anomalies, and trace element contents similar to that of the upper continental crust. Based on the provenance analysis of these two formations, the final closure time of the PAO in this area is constrained as from the early Middle Triassic(ca. 245 Ma) to the middle Late Triassic(ca. 219 Ma).     

Detrital Zircon U‐Pb Ages and Geochemistry of the Silurian to Permian Sedimentary Rocks in Central Inner Mongolia,China: Implications for Closure of the Paleo‐Asian Ocean

The Solonker suture zone has long been considered to mark the location of the final disappearance of the PaleoAsian Ocean in the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt(CAOB). However, the time of final suturing is still controversial with two main different proposals of late Permian to early Triassic, and late Devonian. This study reports integrated wholerock geochemistry and LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb ages of sedimentary rocks from the Silurian Xuniwusu Formation, the Devonian Xilingol Complex and the Permian Zhesi Formation in the Hegenshan-Xilinhot-Linxi area in central Inner Mongolia, China. The depositional environment, provenance and tectonic setting of the Silurian-Devonian and the Permian sediments are compared to constrain the tectonic evolution of the Solonker suture zone and its neighboring zones. The protoliths of the silty slates from the Xuniwusu Formation in the Baolidao zone belong to wacke and were derived from felsic igneous rocks with steady-state weathering, poor sorting and compositional immaturity. The protoliths of metasedimentary rocks from the Xilingol Complex were wackes and litharenites and were sourced from predominantly felsic igneous rocks with variable weathering conditions and moderate sorting. The Xuniwusu Formation and Xilingol Complex samples both have two groups of detrital zircon that peak at ca. 0.9–1.0 Ga and ca. 420–440 Ma, with maximum deposition ages of late Silurian and middle Devonian age, respectively. Considering the ca. 484–383 Ma volcanic arc in the Baolidao zone, the Xuxiniwu Formation represents an oceanic trench sediment and is covered by the sedimentary rocks in the Xilingol Complex that represents a continental slope sediment in front of the arc. The middle Permian Zhesi Formation metasandstones were derived from predominantly felsic igneous rocks and are texturally immature with very low degrees of rounding and sorting, indicating short transport and rapid burial. The Zhesi Formation in the Hegenshan zone has a main zircon age peak of 302 Ma and a subordinate peak of 423 Ma and was deposited in a back-arc basin with an early marine transgression during extension and a late marine regression during contraction. The formation also crops out locally in the Baolidao zone with a main zircon age peak of 467 Ma and a minor peak of 359 Ma, and suggests it formed as a marine transgression sedimentary sequence in a restricted extensional basin and followed by a marine regressive event. Two obvious zircon age peaks of 444 Ma and 280 Ma in the Solonker zone and 435 Ma and 274 Ma in Ondor Sum are retrieved from the Zhesi Formation. This suggests as a result of the gradual closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean a narrow ocean sedimentary environment with marine regressive sedimentary sequences occupied the Solonker and Ondor Sum zones during the middle Permian. A restricted ocean is suggested by the Permian strata in the Bainaimiao zone. Early Paleozoic subduction until ca. 381 Ma and renewed subduction during ca. 310–254 Ma accompanied by the opening and closure of a back-arc basin during ca. 298–269 Ma occurred in the northern accretionary zone. In contrast, the southern accretionary zone documented early Paleozoic subduction until ca. 400 Ma and a renewed subduction during ca. 298–246 Ma. The final closure of the Paleo-Asian ocean therefore lasted at least until the early Triassic and ended with the formation of the Solonker suture zone.     

Testing final closure time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean along the Solonker suture by a transition of compressional and extensional setting

The giant Central Asian Orogenic Belt is an extensive accretionary orogen, of which the Solonker suture, as a major regional suture, coincides closely with an early Permian paleobiogeographical boundary. This suture is considered to mark the location of the final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean between the North China Craton and the Mongolian Terrane. Although the closure time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean along the Solonker suture has generally been regarded as Late Permian–Early Triassic, uncertainty remains because of a lack of typical collision-related features (e.g., high-grade regional metamorphism and well-developed fold–thrust structures) and a scarcity of outcrops.The present study reports Early Permian foliated gabbros and dikes (288–275 Ma) and Middle-Late Permian undeformed layered gabbros, strongly peraluminous granites, and I-type granites (265–254 Ma) in the Xinhure area along the northern margin of the North China Craton. The Early Permian foliated intrusions have a subduction-related geochemical signature and were derived from partial melting of lithospheric mantle modified by subduction-related melts or fluids at the active margin of the North China Craton. In contrast, the Late Permian undeformed layered gabbros and strongly peraluminous granites were derived from partial melting of lithospheric mantle and middle–upper crust, respectively, triggered by asthenospheric upwelling. Therefore, a transition from an end-compressional to an extensional environment according to a transition from collision termination to post-collision of the North China Craton and Mongolian Terrane may have occurred between 275 Ma and 262 Ma. This time span can be considered as the final closure time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean along the Solonker suture.

在内蒙古北山造山带北部圆包山—希热哈达地区白山组采集了安山岩和含角砾花岗斑岩,并对其进行了岩相学、LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄和地球化学分析,探讨北山地区晚古生代构造演化历史。锆石U-Pb定年结果显示,安山岩和含角砾花岗斑岩的年龄加权平均值分别为300.0±2.5 Ma（MSWD=2.0,n=13）和300.3±1.9 Ma（MSWD=1.9,n=23）,确认研究区白山组地层时代为晚石炭世。该套火山岩相对富集轻稀土元素和Rb、K、Ba等大离子亲石元素,亏损重稀土元素和Nb、P、Ti等高场强元素,具有活动性大陆边缘弧的地球化学特征,表明晚古生代北山北部古亚洲洋板块的俯冲持续到晚石炭世。岩石地球化学研究显示,石炭纪白山组安山岩的岩浆是俯冲带流体交代中—下地壳,并使其部分熔融形成;含角砾花岗斑岩主要为中—下地壳物质熔融的产物,源区有沉积物熔体的加入。由北往南,白山组火山岩从中性钙碱性向中酸性、酸性高钾钙碱性火山岩过渡,其分布规律指示了古亚洲洋板块由北向南的俯冲极性。

A missing link of the Proto-Tethys Ocean between the Qinling and Qilian orogens,China:Insights from geochronology and structural geology

The Qinling-Qilian connection zone(QQCZ) is a key area to reveal the relationship and to make a link of the North Qinling and the North Qilian orogens,China.Here we present U-Pb dating data of detrital zircons from four sedimentary/metasedimentary rocks in the QQCZ and the southwestern North China Block(NCB) and detailed regional structural data.Three episodes of fold deformation(D_1,D_2 and D3) are distinguished in the QQCZ,with the former two occurred during the early Paleozoic.The D_1 deformation is mainly characterized by regionally penetrative schistosity and some residual rootless intrafolial folds due to the intensive superpositions by the subsequent D_2 and D3 deformations.The D_2 deformation characterized by tight folds,associated axial plane foliations and crenulation lineations indicates a stress field characterized by NNE-SSW-directed compression,which may be induced by the collision between the NCB and the southern blocks.The D3 deformation which might occur during the Mesozoic is marked by upright open folds and kink bands.The similarity of the detrital zircon age spectra of the Huluhe Group in the North Qilian Orogen and the Erlangping Group in the North Qinling Orogen suggests that the two groups have similar provenance,which may indicate that the North Qilian Orogen corresponded to the North Qinling Orogen in a regional tectonic framework.In addition,the remarkable age peak at～435 Ma of the detrital zircon age spectrum of the Duanjiaxia Formation in the southwestern NCB indicates that this formation obtained the provenance of the North Qilian and North Qinling orogens,which may be generated by the collage of the southwestern NCB and the QQCZ during the Late Ordovician-Early Silurian.Based on structural,detrital zircon and metamorphic data,we suggest that the North Qilian and North Qinling orogens underwent similar evolution during the early Paleozoic due to the closure of the North Qilian and the Kuanping oceans which located at the northern boundary of the Proto-Tethys Ocean.     

新疆北部富蕴县埃达克岩的同位素年代学及其对古亚洲洋板块俯冲时限的制约

采用IA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素定年方法对分布于新疆北部富蕴县托让格库都克组中的埃达克岩进行了年代学研究.结果表明,以往被认为属早泥盆世的埃达克岩的形成年龄为441.3±1.8Ma,属早志留世.由于托让格库都克组中的埃达克岩被认为是由新生的古亚洲洋板块俯冲后部分熔融形成的,因此,埃达克岩的同位素年代学研究结果表明,新疆北部东准噶尔地区古亚洲洋的板块俯冲从早志留世就已经开始.这是首次采用精确的同位素定年手段确定的古亚洲洋板块俯冲作用开始的时间.具有十分重要的地质意义.     

内蒙古额尔古纳红水泉地区奥陶系乌宾敖包组沉积时代及物源区分析:碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学,Lu-Hf同位素地球化学证据

选取内蒙古额尔古纳红水泉地区奥陶系乌宾敖包组石英砂岩进行碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄、原位Lu-Hf同位素研究,尝试限定该地层形成时代及碎屑物质来源,并探讨其沉积大地构造环境。结果显示,采自该地层的2个砂岩样品中的碎屑锆石多数发育典型的岩浆振荡生长环带,呈自形–半自形且具有较高的Th/U值(0.12~1.63),均暗示它们多数为岩浆成因。结合微量元素特征及稀土元素配分模式图,认为碎屑锆石寄主岩石应为花岗质杂岩体。2个砂岩样品具有相似的年龄和Hf同位素组成,锆石年龄分布大致可分为3个主要年龄区间:(1)440~540 Ma,主峰值年龄约为492 Ma和506 Ma,次峰值年龄为447 Ma;ε_Hf(t)值介于?2.77~+11.73之间,Hf的两阶段模式年龄为680~1636 Ma;(2)750~950 Ma,主峰值年龄为805 Ma,次峰值年龄为825 Ma和961 Ma;ε_Hf(t)值介于?1.14~+11.43之间,Hf的两阶段模式年龄为1100~1824 Ma;(3)1700~2000 Ma,峰值年龄为1787 Ma;ε_Hf(t)值介于?9.18~?2.75之间,Hf的两阶段模式年龄为2682~3016 Ma。所有样品碎屑锆石ε_Hf(t)值为?9.18~+11.73,Hf的两阶段模式年龄为680~3016 Ma,大部分锆石的Hf同位素组成集中于球粒陨石与亏损地幔标准线之间,表明沉积物源以早古生代和新元古代新增生地壳物质为主,同时存在少量中元古代晚期古老地壳物质的活化改造。结合前人已报道的邻区相关岩体年代学及地球化学资料,研究区乌宾敖包组的沉积时代不早于晚奥陶世,沉积物主要来自额尔古纳和兴安地块的近缘碎屑物,其形成与早古生代时期古亚洲洋演化过程中额尔古纳与兴安地块碰撞拼贴以及随后的伸展垮塌相关。

东乌旗乌拉盖地区出露一套早古生代辉长闪长岩,为兴蒙造山带北缘二连-东乌旗早古生代岩浆岩带的组成部分。对该岩体进行了锆石U-Pb年龄、全岩地球化学及Sr-Nd-Hf同位素分析,探讨了岩石成因及其对兴蒙造山带北缘早古生代构造演化的启示。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年显示岩体年龄为499.6±1.2 Ma,为二连-东乌旗地区出露的最古老侵入体。岩体具有中等的Si O2含量(51.60%~54.28%),富铝,贫铁、镁,全碱及钾含量较低,属钙碱性岩浆系列;富大离子亲石元素,亏损高场强元素,具有弱的Eu正异常(δEu=1.03~1.34),稀土元素配分型式呈平缓的右倾型。辉长闪长岩同位素组成比较亏损,(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i=0.704 5~0.704 7,εNd(t)=+2.71~+4.17,εHf(t)相对εNd(t)明显偏高,为+10.8~+18.7,存在Nd-Hf同位素解耦现象。年代学、岩石地球化学以及Sr-Nd-Hf同位素综合分析表明,乌拉盖辉长闪长岩是早古生代古亚洲洋沿苏左旗-锡林浩特一线向北俯冲的产物,岩体形成于俯冲作用的初始阶段,源区为受到俯冲物质交代的地幔楔,交代物质以板片熔体为主,流体交代为辅,无明显沉积物加入,后期由于弧后拉张、贺根山洋盆打开与主体岛弧带脱离,最终形成了与俯冲带彼此分隔的格局。     

内蒙古东乌旗北部早古生代火山岩年代学、地球化学特征及地质意义

内蒙古北部二连-东乌旗地区出露早古生代火山岩,为兴蒙造山带北缘构造-岩浆岩带的组成部分,对研究造山带早古生代构造格局及演化具有重要作用。本文对东乌旗北部早古生代中基性及酸性火山岩进行了锆石U-Pb年代学、岩石学、全岩地球化学及Sr-Nd-Hf同位素分析。定年结果显示,中基性火山岩成岩年龄为452±2Ma,酸性火山岩为430±20Ma,表明早古生代岩浆活动可延续至中志留世。地球化学组成上,中基性火山岩稀土总量中等,Eu异常不明显,富集Rb、Sr、Th、U等大离子亲石元素,亏损Nb、Ta等高场强元素,特征类似岛弧岩浆岩;酸性火山岩富集Th、U,Eu负异常显著,但Rb、Ba等大离子亲石元素富集程度不高,Nb、Ta等高场强元素亏损不明显,表现出板内岩浆特点。中基性和酸性火山岩均具有亏损的同位素组成:中基性火山岩ε_(Nd)(t)=+203～+267,ε_(Hf)(t)值介于+79～+145之间;酸性火山岩ε_(Nd)(t)=+494,ε_(Hf)(t)值为+99～+153。岩石学及地球化学分析表明,中基性火山岩为岛弧环境下遭受俯冲流体交代的地幔楔部分熔融产物,酸性火山岩则来源于新生基性下地壳熔融并具有板内岩浆特征,可能指示了俯冲的结束。结合前人资料,二连-东乌旗地区早古生代岩浆活动介于晚寒武-中志留世之间,形成时间及阶段性演化特征近似于苏尼特左旗-锡林浩特早古生代岩浆岩带,暗示两者可能具有成因联系,均为早古生代古亚洲洋向北俯冲的产物。     

滇西双江县清平地区斜长角闪岩年龄与地球化学特征及其对昌宁-孟连洋演化的制约

近年,昌宁-孟连结合带已获得了大量早古生代残余洋壳年龄及与之对应的弧岩浆记录,但晚古生代大洋演化相关的记录较少,缺乏高精度的年代学数据,制约了对昌宁-孟连洋演化的认识。通过对双江县清平地区2件斜长角闪岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年研究,获得206Pb/238U年龄加权平均值分别为442±3 Ma、410±6 Ma、365±6 Ma,其中410±6 Ma为继承年龄,其余代表岩浆结晶年龄。斜长角闪岩样品地球化学特征显示,SiO2含量为47.28%~48.18%,平均为47.90%,K2O/Na2O值小于1,具有富钠贫钾的特征。轻稀土元素富集,重稀土元素亏损,富集大离子亲石元素Ba,高场强元素Nb、Ta无明显的亏损,Ti、Zr呈弱的负异常,总体特征具富集型洋中脊玄武岩的性质。（87Sr/86Sr）t=0.705288~0.705750,（143Nd/144Nd）t=0.512373~0.512424,εNd（t）值为4.01~5.00,平均值4.72。Sr-Nd-Pb同位素组成表明,斜长角闪岩岩浆主要来源于富集型地幔（EMII）并具DUPAL异常的特征。综合分析认为,清平地区在442~365 Ma发育洋盆,表明昌宁-孟连结合带经历了原-古特提斯洋的演化过程。
