天山南北麓中-新生界碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学记录、物源体系分析与陆内盆山演化

大批量、原位高精度碎屑矿物同位素分析为盆地(盆山)动力学等前沿领域的研究注入了新的活力.针对天山北麓(准噶尔盆地南缘)、天山南麓(塔里木盆地北缘)中生界及新生界露头剖面,重点通过13个(新补充4个)砂岩样品的碎屑锆石U-Pb同位素的LA-ICP-MS分析,本文解析了其年代学、物源特征及其构造属性等高分辨率信息,并开展了沉积记录与物源体系对比,探索了天山及其邻近盆地的表壳演化过程与地球动力学机制.研究显示,上三叠统-中侏罗统天山南麓碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄构成相对单一,年龄偏老(峰值区间380～450Ma),而同层位天山北麓碎屑锆石物源年龄构成总体宽泛复杂(160 ～470Ma);上侏罗统-下白垩统天山南麓碎屑锆石年龄构成复杂化(150 ～ 470Ma),而天山北麓则趋于相对简单(但仍然保留250～ 430Ma较宽范围);新近统以上,天山南、北麓主物源碎屑锆石年龄构成均趋向单一,即南麓年龄偏老(峰值区间380 ～460Ma),而北麓偏新(峰值区间260～310Ma).可能说明山盆构造分异活动可以分为四个阶段:中晚三叠世-中侏罗世平稳或渐弱,天山主分水岭位于南天山;晚侏罗世-早白垩世天山区域整体抬升剥露加剧,并伴随主分水岭相对北移;晚白垩世-古近纪相对较弱,而新近纪再度活跃并达到最强,南、北天山强烈隆升,分水岭各成系统.这也反映同期在欧亚板块南缘的一系列拼合-碰撞作用中,拉萨、印度板块对天山地区陆内构造变形和改造作用效果明显,而羌塘块体的影响较小;另一方面,与晚侏罗-早白垩世拉萨板块碰撞事件相关的天山隆升导致陆内区域气候-沉积演化的重要转折,但天山南北盆地局域气候-沉积记录的分异在新近纪印度板块碰撞以前是有限的.     

西昆仑奥依塔格石炭-二叠纪岩浆岩:弧后盆地的产物?

目前对西昆仑石炭-二叠纪火山岩分带性、形成环境、深部地幔源区特征还缺乏较好的约束。在区域地质填图、综合研究的基础上,将西昆仑石炭-二叠纪岩浆岩空间上分为南带、北带。本文展示了北带岩浆岩集中出露的奥依塔格地区玄武岩、辉绿岩、辉长岩的地球化学和Sr、Nd、Pb同位素以及与辉长岩共生的斜长花岗岩的锆石LA-ICP-MS测年数据,以约束该区基性岩形成的时代、构造环境和地幔源区特征,同时与库地玄武岩、阿羌基性火山岩进行了比较。目前的数据表明:(1)斜长花岗岩单颗粒锆石LA-ICP-MS测年得到313.6±1.6Ma、291.6±1.7Ma两组年龄,后者代表斜长花岗岩和辉长岩的侵位时代,前者可能代表玄武岩的年龄。(2)球粒陨石标准化稀土元素配分模式图中,玄武岩显示轻稀土略富集的向右缓倾模式,辉绿岩、辉长岩均为轻稀土略亏损的近平坦型;原始地幔标准化微量元素值均表现为大离子亲石元素相对富集,Nb、Ta谷明显,高场强元素中后半部分呈平坦型模式。(3)地球化学指标显示奥依塔格一带基性岩未受到或很少受到地壳物质混染,样品的Nd、Pb组成可以用来代表地幔源区的成分特点,Nd-Pb、Pb-Pb图解显示其代表的地幔源区具有"Dupal"异常,并于金沙江蛇绿岩中玄武岩代表的地幔源区有较高的一致性。(4)综合岩石地球化学、沉积组合认为奥依塔格基性岩形成于弧后盆地构造环境,区域对比,指出它与库地一些克沟组玄武岩、于田县阿羌组火山岩同为康西瓦-麻扎混杂岩带代表的洋盆向北俯冲,引发弧后盆地扩展的结果。     

A Preliminary Appraisal of Seven Natural Zircon Reference Materials for In Situ Hf Isotope Determination

There is a growing need for new zircon reference materials for in situ Hf-isotope analysis by laser ablation-multicollector inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-MS). In this contribution we document the results of a preliminary investigation of seven natural zircons, conducted in order to test their suitability in this regard. Solution MC-ICP-MS data on separated Lu and Hf fractions provided reference compositional data while the results of ca. 750 in situ LA-MC-ICP-MS analyses allowed assessment of potential micrometre-scale heterogeneity. On the basis of these analyses and additional relevant considerations such as availability, size and (Lu)Yb/Hf ratio, we suggest that, of the currently available zircons, Temora-2 and Mud Tank are most likely to provide robust reference materials for Hf isotope determinations both at the present time and into the future. The former has the advantage of also being well-characterised for U-Th-Pb systematics and suitable for in situ age determination, while the latter is the most readily available and is of very large grain size. Additional materials such as BR266, and 91500, although limited in supply, show more consistent Lu/Hf ratios and are thus of use in monitoring elemental fractionation during ICP-MS analysis.

Metamorphic evolution of a newly identified Mesoproterozoic oceanic slice in the Yuka terrane and its implications for a multi‐cyclic orogenic history of the North Qaidam UHPM belt

The North Qaidam Orogenic Belt (NQOB), lying at the northern margin of the Tibet Plateau, records two orogenic cycles: A Proterozoic cycle related to the amalgamation and breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia, and an Early Palaeozoic cycle including oceanic subduction and continental deep subduction. At present, the only information about the Proterozoic cycle is the concurrent c. 1,000–900 Ma magmatic and metamorphic events, which limited the understanding of the Proterozoic evolution of NQOB and the relationship between the Qaidam Block and other Rodinia fragments. In this study, a kyanite‐bearing eclogite was identified in Yuka terrane. It has positive‐slope chondrite‐normalized rare earth element distribution patterns, similar to present‐day N‐MORB. LA–ICP–MS zircon U–Pb dating obtained a protolith age of 1,273 Ma and an eclogite facies metamorphic age of 437 Ma, which is similar to the continental deep subduction age of the Yuka terrane. Zircon Lu–Hf analysis show that the magmatic zircon cores have high εHf(t) of 8.36–15.98 and T_DM1 of 1,450–1,131 Ma (M = 1,303 ± 55 Ma, consistent with its protolith age within error), indicating a juvenile crust protolith of the eclogite. The MORB‐like whole‐rock composition and zircon U–Pb and Lu–Hf analysis indicate that the protolith of the kyanite‐bearing eclogite was a Mesoproterozoic oceanic slice. P–T pseudosection analysis shows that the kyanite‐bearing eclogite experienced four metamorphic stages: (1) a prograde stage with the assemblage garnet+omphacite+talc+lawsonite+phengite+quartz at 22.4–23.2 kbar and 585°C; (2) a peak stage with the assemblage garnet+omphacite+lawsonite+phengite+coesite at 32.5 kbar and 670°C; (3) an early retrograde stage with the assemblage garnet+omphacite+kyanite+phengite+coesite/quartz±lawsonite at 27.1–30.0 kbar and 670–690°C; and (4) a late retrograde stage with the assemblage garnet+omphacite+epidote+hornblende+phengite+quartz at <18.0 kbar. The established clockwise P–T path is similar with other continental‐type eclogites in this area. On the basis of the geochemical and geochronological data, as well as the P–T path, we suggest that the protolith of the kyanite‐bearing eclogite was emplaced in the active margin of the Qaidam Block during the assembly of Rodinia and underwent continental deep subduction in the Early Palaeozoic. We conclude that (1) the Qaidam Block participated in the assembly of the Rodinia supercontinent. It was situated at or proximal to the margin of the supercontinent and probably close to India, east Antarctica and Tarim; and (2) both Mesoproterozoic and Early Palaeozoic oceanic crust slices occur in the NQOB. Thus, special caution is needed when using the metamorphic ages of oceanic affinity eclogites without protolith ages to constrain the evolution history of the North Qaidam UHPM belt.     

Geological and geochronological constraints on the genesis of the giant Tongkuangyu Cu deposit (Palaeoproterozoic), North China Craton

ABSTRACT

The Zhongtiao Mountain region is endowed with some of the largest Cu deposits in northern China, among which the Tongkuangyu Cu deposit contains 70% of the total reserves of copper. The orebodies in this deposit are confined to metamorphosed volcanic tuff and monzogranitic porphyry which are enclosed within metasediments. Metamorphism and deformation resulted in intense modification of the deposit, leading to debates surrounding its genesis. In this study, we investigate the lithology, hydrothermal alteration, and mineralization in the deposit. Secondary ion mass spectrometer and laser ablation ICPMS zircon U–Pb dating show that the meta-monzogranitic porphyry was emplaced contemporaneous with the surrounding lithologies at 2180–2190 Ma as a sill, and that the basic volcanic rocks erupted slightly earlier at ~2220 Ma. The Re–Os geochronological data on molybdenite from the deposit constrain the timing of copper mineralization to 2122 ± 12 Ma. Together with published information from previous studies on this region, we infer that during ~2100–2200 Ma the Zhongtiao Mountain region experienced continental or back-arc rifting. We exclude a porphyry copper model for the deposit and favour sediment-hosted stratiform explanation for this deposit.
