北祁连洋早古生代双向俯冲的花岗岩证据

笔者主要对北祁连山中段的牛心山岩体、民乐窑沟岩体进行了锆石SHRIMP定年研究。结果表明：牛心山花岗岩的年龄为476Ma，民乐窑沟花岗闪长岩的年龄为463Ma。岩石地球化学显示．两岩体均具有大陆活动边缘的岩浆作用特征，结合岩体产出的区域构造位置及区域地质资料，笔者认为早古生代北祁连洋板块分别发生了向南、向北俯冲，其中向南俯冲形成牛心山花岗岩（476Ma），向北俯冲，形成了民乐窑沟花岗岩侵入体（463Ma）。     

三江口东岩体岩石成因及产铀潜力分析

诸广山南体是中国重要的铀资源基地之一,复式岩体内与铀矿床关系密切的花岗岩均为S型,I型花岗岩一般无铀成 矿潜力。三江口岩体位于诸广山南体西部,与产有铀矿床的燕山期长江岩体相邻,岩性也与长江岩体相似。目前对三江口 岩体研究程度相对薄弱,缺乏高精度年代学研究,岩石成因类型也未明确。文章对三江口岩体东部（简称三江口东岩体） 进行U-Pb年代学和岩石地球化学研究,并与产铀的长江岩体进行对比。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为161.9±2.1 Ma,属于 燕山早期花岗岩。岩体富SiO2 （73.5%~76.1%）,贫FeOT （1.12%~3.25%）、MgO（0.07%~0.83%）、CaO（0.64%~1.27%）,具 高分异指数DI（86.4~93.6）,A/CNK值为1.00~1.35,属过铝-强过铝质花岗岩;微量元素Ba、Sr、Nb、Eu、Ti亏损,Rb、 Th、U富集,属于典型的低Ba、Sr花岗岩;稀土总量中等（ΣREE = 119×10-6 ~268×10-6）,稀土配分模式为右倾的轻稀土富 集型;(87Sr/86Sr)i值为0.70789~0.71488,εNd(t )值较低（-10.8~-9.6）,两阶段Nd模式年龄为1.73~1.83 Ga。三江口东岩体与长 江岩体年龄相近,具有相似的岩石地球化学特征和同位素组成,均为S型花岗岩。结合两岩体形成年龄和区域构造背景, 认为其形成与华南燕山早期陆内伸展作用有关,是由华南基底麻源群泥质岩、砂质岩部分熔融形成,在成岩过程中有少量 幔源物质参与。通过与产铀的长江岩体对比研究认为,三江口东岩体具有较强的产铀潜力。     

江南造山带仙霞复式岩体的成因研究

仙霞复式岩体位于江南造山带东北部,是该区出露面积最大的复式岩体之一。本文在野外地质调查的基础上,对仙霞复式岩体不同期次岩浆岩开展了锆石U-Pb年代学和全岩地球化学分析,结果显示该复式岩体侵位分为早、中、晚三阶段,岩性分别为二长花岗岩(143.0±3.5Ma)、花岗闪长岩(140.0±2.0Ma)和钾长花岗岩(138.6±3.5Ma),是江南造山带燕山期早期(146～135Ma)岩浆作用的产物。仙霞复式岩体三阶段岩浆岩均为高碱、弱过铝质岩石,具有相似的稀土元素配分模式,微量元素均呈Rb、Ba、U、K、Pb等大离子亲石元素(LILE)富集, Nb、Ta、P、Ti等高场强元素(HFSE)亏损的特征,锆石εHf(t)同位素为负值(–15.54～–1.03)。综合分析显示,仙霞复式岩体的岩浆起源于下地壳物质为主的壳幔混合源区,在岩浆上升演化过程中经历了显著的结晶分异作用,形成于早白垩世(146～135 Ma)古太平洋板块向西俯冲的背景下。     

新疆东天山旱草湖环状岩体锆石U-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及成因

以新疆东天山旱草湖地区中酸性环状岩体为研究对象,进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄和全岩地球化学研究,探讨其成因和地质意义。结果表明,侵入英云闪长岩的最老年龄为275.0±2.9Ma(MSWD=4.8),侵位时代为二叠纪。岩体Al_2O_3含量为14.46%～17.05%,A/CNK为0.93～1.09,属准铝质和弱过铝质系列,较富集K_2O,MgO含量较低,为0.71%～2.84%,Mg~#值为33.3～48.6。微量元素高Sr、低Y,Sr含量为217×10~(-6)～740×10~(-6),Y含量为4.26×10~(-6)～21.4×10~(-6),Sr/Y值为16.87～145.07,富集大离子亲石元素Rb、Sr、Ba,亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti。稀土元素配分模式图呈现平坦右倾的轻稀土元素富集、重稀土元素亏损,表明岩体来源于石榴子石和金红石较稳定而斜长石不稳定的区域,属于角闪岩相向榴辉岩相过渡阶段,可能是同时期底侵的产物。地球化学特征表明岩体不是一期岩浆事件结晶分离演化的结果,不同岩性的岩体之间没有发生结晶分离。部分熔融程度和新生幔源组分的不同导致了旱草湖环状花岗质岩体的形成,二叠纪旱草湖地区存在较强烈的中酸性岩浆活动,是东天山二叠纪构造-岩浆演化的响应。     

皖南地区谭山复式岩体的成因研究

谭山复式岩体位于江南过渡带北缘,是该区出露面积较大的复式岩体。本文对谭山复式岩体开展了地质调查、岩浆岩锆石U-Pb年代学和全岩地球化学分析。地质特征显示谭山复式岩体沿杨美桥背斜轴部侵入,根据岩性分析划分为碱长花岗岩、正长花岗岩和二长花岗岩。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果显示,碱长花岗岩和正长花岗岩分别为128.9±1.6 Ma～128.8±2.5 Ma和129.8±2.6 Ma～129.2±1.8 Ma;结合前人已获得二长花岗岩成岩时代（128.5±1.7 Ma～126.7±1.7 Ma）,谭山复式岩体形成于128.9±1.6 Ma～126.7±1.7 Ma之间,对应于皖南地区燕山期 3阶段岩浆活动（早阶段：153～146 Ma,中阶段：143～136 Ma,晚阶段：135～121 Ma）的最晚阶段（135～121 Ma）。该复式岩体碱长花岗岩、正长花岗岩和二长花岗岩的地球化学特征均表现为：富碱,高Ga/Al比值,强烈亏损Ba、Sr、P、Ti,富集 Rb、Th、Nd、Ce,显著的Eu负异常,均为碱性过铝质特征的A型花岗岩。谭山复式岩体起源于下地壳物质部分熔融,为陆内拉张环境背景下同源岩浆多期次上升侵位的产物。     

西藏墨竹工卡地区早侏罗世花岗岩地球化学、岩石成因及其地质意义

为了研究南冈底斯晚三叠世-早侏罗世时期岩浆岩的成因类型和构造背景，针对墨竹工卡地区的松多黑云母二长花岗岩体进行岩相学、年代学、全岩地球化学研究.LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果显示，松多黑云母二长花岗岩结晶年龄为190.2±2.9 Ma，形成于早侏罗世.在地球化学组成上，黑云母二长花岗岩具有低TiO₂（0.68%~0.75%），富SiO₂（65.22%~66.13%）、Al₂O₃（16.26%~16.73%）、Na₂O（4.05%~4.29%）、K₂O（3.96%~4.24%）的特点，显示钾玄岩系列和弱过铝质（A/CNK=1.04~1.11）的主量元素地球化学特征；在微量元素蛛网图上，具有富集Rb、Th、K、Zr、Hf元素和亏损Ba、Nb、Ta、Sr、Ti、P元素的特征；锆石饱和温度介于805~835℃，FeOT/MgO比值高，样品显示出具有部分A型花岗岩特征.结合前人研究表明，晚三叠世-早侏罗世时期南冈底斯岩浆岩构造背景与新特提斯洋北向俯冲有关，松多黑云母二长花岗岩形成于新特提斯洋板片北向俯冲引起的弧后伸展环境；其成因与软流圈上涌导致幔源岩浆底侵引起下地壳的部分熔融有关.      

皖南地区青阳-九华山复式岩体的成因

复式岩体是指不同时代花岗岩类侵入体在空间上的共生。对复式岩体的研究,有助于了解不同时代花岗岩类的形成和分布与构造演化的关系,从而阐明花岗岩浆侵入、定位的机制。皖南地区广泛发育燕山期复式岩体,本文对该区最大和最具代表性的青阳-九华山复式岩体的地质概况、成岩年代和地球化学特征进行研究,探讨复式岩体的成因和侵位机制。锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,该复式岩体从早到晚四个阶段岩浆岩年龄分别为第一阶段花岗闪长岩143.3±1.0Ma,第二阶段二长花岗岩137.6±1.5Ma,第三阶段钾长花岗岩131.3±1.2Ma,第四阶段花岗斑岩132.0±2.0Ma。所有岩石均属于高钾钙碱性、准铝质-弱过铝质系列,从花岗闪长岩-二长花岗岩-钾长花岗岩-花岗斑岩显示出由钙碱性向碱性过渡的特征,并具有向富K、Si和贫Ca、Mg、Fe演化的趋势。该复式岩体源自同一个初始岩浆房,不同阶段岩浆沿相同的通道先后上升侵位至相邻空间叠加形成复式岩体的格局,这也是本区此类复式岩体的形成机制。早期形成的花岗闪长岩-二长花岗岩主要源自下地壳岩石的部分熔融,而晚期岩浆房中加入了较早期更多的底侵幔源岩浆,并与之完全混合,在上升侵位过程中经历了更强的分离结晶和地壳同化混染作用,形成钾长花岗岩-花岗斑岩。早期的花岗闪长岩-二长花岗岩形成与晚侏罗世古太平洋板块的俯冲作用密切相关,晚期钾长花岗岩-花岗斑岩形成于陆内拉张环境,反映出研究区从与太平洋板块俯冲有关的挤压环境向陆内岩石圈伸展环境的转变。     

福建金山花岗质复式岩体的元素和同位素地球化学及其成因研究

金山复式岩体位于福建南部华安县和南靖县交界地区,为一燕山晚期的花岗质复式大岩基,由早白垩世早期的华安洋竹径单元（锆石U-Pb年龄为140.3±1.2Ma）和早白垩世晚期的南靖龙山单元（锆石U-Pb年龄为105.1±0.8Ma）组成。复式岩体东部的洋竹径单元主体岩性为中粒钾长花岗岩,在中心部位发育部分黑云母花岗岩,地球化学特征上,该单元岩石总体为弱过铝质（A/NKC值变化于1.00~1.05）,富硅,碱含量中等（K2O+Na2O介于8.30%~8.84%）,碱铝指数（AKI值）变化于0.80~0.90,富钾（K2O含量变化于4.59%~5.58%,K2O/Na2O比值介于1.18~1.95）,富轻稀土和大离子亲石元素（如Rh、Th等）,贫Ba、Sr、Ti、P,Rb/Sr比值高,具中到强的铕负异常。复式岩体西部的龙山单元主体岩性为黑云母二长花岗岩,与洋竹径单元相比,其硅、碱含量及Rb/Sr比值均相对偏低,轻重稀土比值更高,而铕负异常相对不明显。复式岩体各单元岩石的Ga/Al比值以及Zr、Nb、Ce、Y等高场强元素含量较之典型的A型花岗岩均偏低,综合地质地球化学资料指示该复式岩体应属高钾钙碱性I型花岗岩。洋竹径单元黑云母花岗岩和钾长花岗岩具有一致的Nd同位素组成,Nd(t)值分别为-1.13和-1.16~-1.94,表明它们具有相同的岩浆源区,二者应为同源岩浆经分异演化的产物。龙山单元的成岩年龄晚于洋竹径单元,Nd(t)值略低（＝-2.22）,其岩石学和元素地球化学特征与洋竹径单元存在较明显的差别,相关的元素演变趋势表明龙山单元不可能为洋竹径单元岩浆分异演化的产物,而应具独立的岩浆起源。金山复式岩体极可能是在弧后伸展背景下,由于持续的幔源岩浆底侵作用导致早期底侵物质（初生地壳）与古老基底地壳混合的地壳原岩叠次熔融复合的产物。     

东天山大南湖阿克塔格晚石炭世A型花岗岩的确定及其地质意义

东天山位于中亚造山带西南缘,发育大量的晚古生代花岗岩,这些晚古生代花岗岩产出的构造环境长期以来一直存在争议。阿克塔格花岗岩体位于东天山南缘,主要岩石类型为角闪钾长花岗斑岩。SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年给出206Pb/238U加权平均年龄306.5±2.8 Ma(MSWD=0.53),表明其形成于晚石炭世晚期。钾长花岗斑岩地球化学成分比较均一,具有富硅、钾、钠,贫钙、镁、磷、钛的特点,铝含量中等,属弱过铝质(A/CNK=1.01~1.03,A/NK=1.09~1.12)。富集轻稀土元素,具有明显的Eu负异常。在原始地幔标准化微量元素蛛网上,所有样品均表现出富集大离子亲石元素(LILEs,Rb、Th和K),强烈亏损高场强元素(HFSEs,Nb、Ta、P、Ti),具有较高的Ga/Al值,为典型的A2型花岗岩,是目前东天山地区报道的最早的晚古生代A型花岗岩,它的形成应是在后碰撞背景下与基性下地壳的重熔有关。同时也说明,东天山地区的大洋(南天山洋)在二叠纪之前就已关闭了。     

东昆仑西段阿确墩地区晚古生代花岗岩成因、锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

东昆仑西段阿确墩地区晚古生代花岗质岩体,主要分布在豹子沟一带,呈岩基状产出.岩石地球化学研究显示,其具有钙碱性、弱过铝质（A/CNK=0.99~1.04）特征;稀土元素球粒陨石标准化表现为轻稀土富集,重稀土亏损的特征,具弱负Eu异常,δEu为0.73~0.97;微量元素显示高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti等亏损的特征,认为其形成于陆缘弧环境,属于I型花岗岩.运用LA-ICP-MS技术对该花岗质岩体进行锆石U-Pb测年,获得二长花岗岩年龄为281.5±4.0 Ma,表明其形成于早二叠世晚期.结合区域构造演化,表明特提斯洋于早二叠世晚期就已经开始向塔里木板块俯冲,该数据代表了目前已知最早的一期晚古生代-早中生代花岗岩浆活动时间,而此时的古特提斯洋处于伸展结束-俯冲开始转变时期.      

东天山哈尔里克地区晚石炭世淡色花岗岩成因及其地质意义

淡色花岗岩对深入理解造山带构造演化具有重要意义.哈尔里克山南麓小铺地区出露多种类型的淡色花岗岩脉,包括黑云母花岗岩、二云母花岗岩、含电气石花岗岩以及含石榴石花岗岩.岩石地球化学研究显示这些淡色花岗岩整体具有高硅（SiO₂=73.22%~75.12%）、铝（Al₂O₃=13.59%~14.49%）、碱（ALK=7.11%~9.67%）,低钛（TiO₂=0.01%~0.14%）、铁（TFeO=0.26%~1.37%）、镁（MgO=0.09%~0.46%）、钙（CaO=0.46%~1.92%）的特点,属于弱过铝质钙碱性-钾玄岩系列岩石.其中黑云母花岗岩具有较高的CaO/Na₂O比值（0.46~0.47）和低的Rb/Sr比值（0.31~0.33）,指示其为砂质源岩经黑云母脱水熔融形成;二云母花岗岩和含电气石花岗岩具有较低的CaO/Na₂O比值（0.11~0.31）和高的Rb/Sr比值（1.41~3.75）,为泥质源岩经白云母脱水熔融形成;含石榴石花岗岩具有强烈的Eu负异常以及"海鸥状"稀土配分模式,为高分异型花岗岩.小铺淡色花岗岩初始岩浆温度较低（T=637~744℃）,结合其野外地质特征,认为其形成可能与深部物质的折返、造山带的伸展垮塌有关.利用LA-ICP-MS微区原位锆石U-Pb定年获得黑云母花岗岩的形成时代为308.5±2.2 Ma,含电气石花岗岩的形成时代为307.8±2.3 Ma,二者在误差范围内近乎一致,指示哈尔里克地区在晚石炭世末处于伸展构造背景.      

Episodic Paleozoic Adakitic Magmatism in the Eastern Tianshan, Southern Altaids: Implications for Petrogenesis and Geodynamics

The adakites rocks are typically considered as direct diagnostic evidence for subduction and continental growth, as well as the important evidence to determine the location of the major oceanic basin and evolution history of lost oceanic basins, which are longstanding conundrums for understanding the tectonics of the Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO). As the processor of the Altaids, the PAO was a long-lived ocean, and its multiple subductions led to substantial continental growth in the Central Asian continent. Here we report our newly discovered Paleozoic adakitic rocks (granite and dacite) developed in Jijitaizi in the Eastern Tianshan of the southern Altaids to address the above issues. The Jijitaizi granite and dacite contain high concentrations of Sr (203–343 ppm) and low concentrations of Y (3.00–6.36 ppm) and Yb (0.23–0.62 ppm), indicative of the adakitic affinity. Zircon U-Pb dating results show that the adakitic rocks were formed in three episodes at 372.26 ± 1.51 Ma, 356.02 ± 1.11 Ma and 334.51 ± 0.68 Ma from the Late Devonian to Carboniferous. The rocks are depleted in Nb, P and Ti, and possess variable Mg# values (28.51–57.22), high Na2O/K2O ratios (1.39–4.94), as well as relatively depleted Hf isotopic compositions, all of which point to a subduction origin from slab melting. Our new finding with the date from the Jijitaizi complex (ca. 321 Ma) suggests continuing subduction of the Paleo-Asian oceanic slab beneath the Central Tianshan from the Late Devonian to Carboniferous. Our work provides a solid line of key evidence demonstrating that continuous oceanic subduction of the major PAO evolved into its mature stage following subducting beneath the Central Tianshan from ca. 372 to 321 Ma.     

新疆东天山多头山铁-铜矿区花岗岩类的年代学、地球化学、岩石成因及意义

多头山矿床是东天山阿奇山?雅满苏成矿带铁铜矿床的典型代表,矿床成因与区内岩浆岩有紧密联系。矿区出露的侵入岩主要有花岗斑岩、二长花岗岩、钾长花岗岩及英安玢岩。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学研究获得花岗斑岩、二长花岗岩及英安玢岩的年龄分别为316.3±8.1 Ma、318.3±3.0 Ma和197.2±3.5 Ma。花岗斑岩A/CNK介于0.82~1.01之间,显示偏铝质特征,为Ⅰ型花岗岩;同时样品富集大离子亲石元素Th、U、Pb,亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti,显示弧岩浆特征。钠质蚀变导致了花岗斑岩显示出富Na、贫K、Rb、Ca、Sr的特征。钠化花岗斑岩Nb/Ta为12.4~16.0,具有较高的ε_(Nd)(t)(5.76~6.24)值和较低的I_(Sr)值(0.70353~0.70532),与安第斯中生代岩基地球化学特征相似,结合样品中出现古老锆石的捕掳晶,表明其源区为新生的下地壳,混合有少量幔源物质,并伴随有地壳混染。二长花岗岩与钠化花岗斑岩具有相近的形成年龄和相似的地球化学特征,如Nb/Ta比值(14.2),亏损高场强元素、富集大离子亲石元素,同为准铝质(A/CNK=0.97)弧岩浆,暗示它们可能具有相似的源区。而早侏罗世的英安玢岩具有高Sr(552×10~(-6))含量和较高的Sr/Y(73.6)比值,显示出钙碱性埃达克岩的特征,同时样品具有较高的K_2O(3.27%)含量、Mg~#指数(55),表明其来源于拆沉下地壳的熔融并混有少量幔源岩浆。综合区域研究资料、年代学、地球化学及同位素特征,我们认为多头山所在的阿奇山?雅满苏成矿带可能是晚古生代洋壳向南俯冲至中天山地块之下形成的大陆边缘弧。     

新疆东天山晚古生代地壳增生和成矿作用

地壳增生和成矿作用是矿床学研究的前沿领域;东天山作为中亚造山带的重要组成部分,在晚古生代地壳演化过程中经历了板块俯冲、碰撞造山大规模走滑剪切和后造山演化阶段,在每个构造演化阶段都伴随有地壳增生和大量有用金属元素的堆积。按照地壳增生和成矿作用关系,研究区晚古生代主要有如下几种矿床类型:1)晚泥盆世—早石炭世增生前形成的Cu-Mo-Au-Ag矿床;2)早石炭世增生前形成的Fe-Cu-Pb-Zn矿床;3)晚石炭世—早二叠世增生后形成的造山型Cu-Ni-PGE矿床;4)晚石炭世—早二叠世增生后形成的造山型Au-Cu矿床。上述矿床在形成过程中既有地壳的水平增生,也有地壳的垂向增生作用,已经构成了我国重要的内生金属矿床富集区。     

新疆东部新元古代晚期和古生代构造格局及其演变

基于笔者近20年来对新疆东部地质构造的研究和对前人地质地球物理资料的深入分析，本文系统讨论了新疆东部新元古代晚期和古生代的地壳形成与演化。该区古生代的构造单元被划分为阿尔泰地块、额尔齐斯断裂带、东准噶尔古生代造山带、准噶尔地块、东天山造山带和库鲁克塔格地块。该区古生代地壳构造演化包括震旦纪-石炭纪洋陆格局的变迁、石炭纪末至二叠纪后碰撞壳幔相互作用等两个阶段。其洋陆格局的变迁包括古生代早期萨彦洋、早古生代阿尔曼太尔洋、晚古生代卡拉麦里洋、古生代北天山洋和南天山洋的打开与关闭，其中两个天山洋盆可能为一个洋盆，大体上可以对比为中亚地区的古亚洲洋北支斋桑洋，阿尔曼太洋和卡拉麦里洋可能为西伯利亚古陆的边缘洋盆；而古亚洲洋南支的乌拉尔一南天山洋向东是否延伸到新疆东部，还有待于进一步研究。新疆东部的后碰撞构造演化包括三期重大地质事件：①300Ma前后的以中酸性为主的大规模岩浆活动；②280Ma前后的包括幔源岩浆在内的双峰式岩浆活动；⑧二叠纪中晚期(可能延续到三叠纪)的大规模地壳走滑运动。在此基础上，对新疆东部新元古代晚期和古生代构造演化与古亚洲洋演变的关系进行了探讨，并对仍然存在的主要相关问题进行了总结和归纳。     

Isotopic Geochronology of the Late Paleozoic Kanggur Gold Deposit of East Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang, NW China

Abstract: The Kanggur gold deposit lies in East Tianshan mountains, eastern section of Central Asia orogenic belt. The gold mineralization occurs on the northern margin of the Aqishan‐Yamansu Paleozoic island arc in the Tarim Plate. It was hosted mainly in Middle‐Lower Carboniferous calc‐alkaline volcanic rocks, and controlled by the distributions of syn‐tectonic intrusions and ductile shear zones. In order to determine ore‐forming age of the Kanggur deposit, samples were collected from ores, wall rocks, altered rocks and intrusions. The dating methods include Rb‐Sr isochron and Sm‐Nd isochron, and secondly ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age spectrum, U‐Pb and Pb‐Pb methods. Based on the mineral assemblage and crosscutting relationship of ore veins, five mineralization stages are identified. This result is confirmed by isotope geochronologic data. The first stage featuring formation of pyrite‐bearing phyllic rock, is mineralogically represented by pyrite, sericite and quartz with poor native gold. The Rb‐Sr isochron age of this stage is 2905 Ma. The second stage represents the main ore‐forming stage and is characterized by native gold–quartz–pyrite–magnetite–chlorite assemblage. Magnetite and pyrite of this stage are dated by Sm‐Nd isochron at 290.47.2 Ma and fluid inclusion in quartz is dated by Rb‐Sr isochron at 282.35 Ma. The third mineralization stage features native gold–quartz–pyrite vein. In the fourth stage, Au‐bearing polymetallic sulfide‐quartz veins formed. Fluid inclusions in quartz are dated by Rb‐Sr isochron method at 25821 Ma. The fifth stage is composed of sulfide‐free quartz–carbonate veins with Rb‐Sr age of 2547 Ma. The first and second stages are related to ductile‐brittle deformation of shear zones, and are named dynamo‐metamorphic hydrothermal period. The third to fifth stages related to intrusive processes of tonalite and brittle fracturing of the shear zones, are called magmato‐hydrothermal mineralization period. The Rb‐Sr isochron age of 2905 Ma of the altered andesite in the Kanggur mine area may reflect timing of regional ductile shear zone. The Rb‐Sr isochron age of 28216 Ma of the quartz‐syenite porphyry and the zircon U‐Pb age of 2757 Ma of tonalite in the north of Kanggur gold mine area are consistent with the age of gold mineralization (290‐254 Ma). This correspondence indicates that the tonalite and subvolcanic rocks may have been related to gold mineralization. The Rb–Sr, Sm‐Nd and U‐Pb ages and regional geology support the hypothesis that the Kanggur gold deposit was formed during collisional orogenesis process in Late Variscan.     

Petrogenesis of Late Mesozoic Calc-Alkaline Lamprophyres from Sulu UHP Terrane,Eastern China: Implications to Paleo-Pacific Plate Subduction and Destruction of the North China Craton

Petrogenesis and Metallogenesis of the Niumaoquan Gabbroic Intrusion Associated with Fe-Ti Oxide Ores in the Eastern Tianshan, NW China

The Niumaoquan layered gabbroic intrusion is in the southern margin of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt in North Xinjiang, China, and hosts a Fe-Ti oxide deposit in its evolved gabbroic phases. In this paper, we report zircon U-Pb age, Sr-Nd-Hf isotopes, plagioclase chemistry, and whole-rock geochemistry of the Niumaoquan layered gabbroic intrusion. Zircon grains separated from an anorthosite sample analyzed by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry yielded a concordia age of 314.7±0.74 Ma, indicating that the Niumaoquan ore-bearing gabbroic intrusion was emplaced during the Late Carboniferous. The olivine gabbro texture and plagioclase chemistry suggest that plagioclase was an early crystallized silicate phase that crystallized prior to olivine. Fractional crystallization and accumulation of plagioclase significantly controlled the evolution of the Niumaoquan gabbroic intrusion and contributed to the formation of anorthosite layers, causing metallogenic elements to become enriched in the residual melt. The Niumaoquan gabbroic intrusion is characterized by the enrichment of large ion lithophile elements and depletion of high field strength elements, positive zircon εHf(t) values (+2.1 to +12.2), positive εNd(t) values (+3.3 to +5.2), and low initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7039 to 0.7047), suggesting that the parental magma was produced by interactions between metasomatized lithospheric mantle and depleted asthenospheric melts at an early post-collision stage. The Fe-Ti oxide mineralization of the Niumaoquan intrusion benefited from interactions between depleted asthenospheric melts and lithospheric mantle, and fractional crystallization of abundant plagioclase and magnesian minerals.     

Geochronology and Geochemistry of the Xingxingxia Triassic A-type Granites in Central Tianshan, NW China: Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implications

The Triassic granitoids in Central Tianshan play a key role in determining the petrogenesis and tectonic evolution on the southern margin of the Central Asian orogenic belt. In this study, we present SHRIMP zircon U-Pb ages, Hf isotopic and geochemical data on the Xingxingxia biotite granite, amazonite granite and granitic pegmatite in Central Tianshan, NW China. Zircon U-Pb dating yielded formation ages of 242 Ma for the biotite granite and 240 Ma for the amazonite granite. These granitoid rocks have high K2O with low MgO and CaO contents. They are enriched in Nb, Ta, Hf and Y, while being depleted in Ba and Sr, showing flat HREE patterns and negative Eu anomalies. They have typical A-type granite geochemical signatures with high Ga/Al (8–13) and TFeO/(TFeO + MgO) ratios, showing an A2 affinity for biotite granite and an A1 affinity for amazonite granite and granitic pegmatite. Zircon εHf(t) values of the granitoids are 0.45–2.66, with Hf model ages of 0.99–1.17 Ga. This suggests that these A-type granites originated from partial melting of the lower crust. We propose that Xingxingxia Triassic A-type granites formed under lithospheric extension from post-orogenic to anorogenic intraplate settings and NE-trending regional strike-slip fault-controlled magma emplacement in the upper crust.     

Paleozoic magmatic events in the Strandja Massif,NW Turkey

The Strandja massif consists of metamorphic basement intruded by large Early Permian plutons of the Kirklareli type and overlain by Triassic metasedimentary cover. Together with its continuation in Bulgaria this massif forms an important link between the Pontides and the orogenic belts of Europe. Various types of orthogneisses constitute a significant part of the metamorphic basement however these rocks have until now escaped a particular study and therefore the Paleozoic history of the massif is essentially unknown. In this study these rocks are classified and mapped as hornblende-biotite, biotite-muscovite, and leucocratic orthogneisses. Their modal compositions correspond to quartz diorite, tonalite, granodiorite and trondhjemite. Geochemical data suggest a calc-alkaline trend of differentiation and metaluminous character of the parent magmas. Isotopic dating using the single zircon evaporation method has shown that magmatic ages of these orthogneisses cluster within a short time interval between 312±2 and 315 ±5 Ma in the Carboniferous. At the same time inherited ages of magmatic zircons in these rocks record a long lived magmatic activity between 340 and 650 Ma. We infer that the Carboniferous orthogneisses were formed in a magmatic arc that evolved atop of a mature continental basement. Previously established ([1, 2]) Early Permian magmatic event has been confirmed by additional age determinations constraining it at 257±6 Ma. Tectonic setting of this episode is also interpreted as subduction related taking into consideration its geochemical features and relationships with surrounding tectonic units.
