内蒙古中部宝力高庙组长英质火山岩U-Pb-Hf同位素特征及其地质意义

锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年结果显示: 内蒙古中部白音乌拉地区原宝力高庙组的流纹岩形成时代为300.0±2.9 Ma, 属晚石炭世; 青格勒宝拉格地区原宝力高庙组的凝灰岩结晶年龄为159.6±1.4 Ma, 并获得 3颗捕获锆石的年龄分别为291.8±3.4, 304.0±3.3和734.7±9.2 Ma, 应属于晚侏罗世满克头鄂博组。锆石LA-MC-ICP-MS Hf同位素分析显示: 流纹岩锆石ε_Hf(t) 值为+10.5~+12.9, T_DM^C值为493~645 Ma; 凝灰岩岩浆锆石ε_Hf(t)值为+10.1~+13.1, T_DM^C值为369~563 Ma。研究结果表明, 流纹岩源于晚古生代新生地壳的重熔并混入少量老地壳物质, 凝灰岩源于晚古生代地壳的熔融。Hf同位素特征显示晚古生代流纹岩和中生代凝灰岩源于相似的源区, 揭示了晚古生代的一次重要的增生事件, 并且在约160 Ma时期发生过地壳的再造。结合前人的研究成果表明, 兴蒙造山带在约300 Ma时处于古亚洲洋演化过程中岛弧向碰撞后伸展环境的转换时期, 在约160 Ma受到蒙古?鄂霍茨克构造域的影响。     

江西南部余田群长英质火山岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

江西南部龙南、菖蒲盆地余田群"流纹岩-玄武岩"双峰式火山岩酸性端元的Rb-Sr等时线年龄为175～148Ma,不仅变化幅度较大,而且多与基性端元的Rb-Sr等时线年龄(179～173Ma)不匹配。笔者采用精度较高的SHIRMP锆石U-Pb定年法,获得菖蒲双峰式火山岩组合最下部的流纹岩和龙南盆地双峰式火山岩最上部的英安岩SHIRMP锆石U-Pb年龄分别为(195.2±2.8)Ma和(191±1.7)Ma,两者在误差范围内基本一致。这不仅说明两盆地的双峰式火山岩是同期岩浆活动的产物,而且它们是在喷发间隔很短的时间内形成的。根据国际地层表,菖蒲盆地和龙南盆地双峰式火山岩的地质时代属早侏罗世早期。SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄明显大于全岩Rb-Sr等时线年龄可能是全岩Rb-Sr等时线定年法存在误差造成的。江西南部双峰式火山岩195～191Ma的SHIRMP锆石年龄,说明江西南部在早侏罗世早期就进入了拉张构造环境;结合双峰式火山活动之后,长英质火山岩145～130Ma的SHIRMP锆石年龄的获得,说明江西南部在190～145Ma期间为长达45Ma的火山活动宁静期,这个现象难以用太平洋板块向欧亚板块俯冲的单一模式进行合理地解释。

为了研究甘肃北山二道泉地区古生代火山岩的年代学特征及其地质意义,对该地区流纹岩进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素精确测年。锆石U-Pb同位素定年利用北京科荟测试技术有限公司的LA-ICP-MS同时分析完成,激光剥蚀系统为ESI NWR 193 nm,ICP-MS为AnalytikjenaPlasmaQuant MS Elite ICP-MS。用Isoplot软件完成锆石样品U-Pb年龄谐和图的绘制和年龄权重平均的计算。结果表明:在锆石U-Pb年龄谐和图中17个数据集中分布在谐和线附近,锆石~(206)Pb/~(238)U加权平均年龄为(282.5±1.7) Ma(MSWD=0.27),即该期流纹岩形成的地质时期为早二叠世。本次测年为北山造山带的认识提供了年龄依据,有助于了解该地区的地质构造演化。     

塔北哈拉哈塘流纹岩的离子探针锆石U-Pb 年代学: 对塔里木溢流玄武岩主期喷发时代的约束

华北克拉通北缘承德下板城盆地三叠系二马营组凝灰岩夹层SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年及源区分析

鉴于目前对华北克拉通北缘承德下板城盆地三叠系二马营组的时代归属存在较大的分歧,本文以该盆地二马营组上段一厚层火山凝灰岩为研究对象,对其进行高精度的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年及原位Lu-Hf同位素分析,以准确厘定其沉积时代与来源区。定年结果显示,该凝灰岩层的沉积年龄为(243.5±3.3)Ma。依据定年结果及前人研究成果,认为盆地二马营组的沉积时代应为中三叠世早期,即中三叠世安尼期,而不是一些学者认为的晚三叠世或中-晚三叠世。对年龄较为集中的锆石进行了原位Lu-Hf同位素分析,表明其具有较低的_(εHf)(t)值(-7.7～-6.1)和较老的二阶段模式年龄(1.66～1.76Ga)。结合凝灰岩定年结果中所携带的继承锆石信息,以及前人研究成果,表明火山凝灰岩应来源于华北克拉通北缘的内蒙古隆起,而非其北邻的兴蒙造山带。

SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating for volcanic rocks of the Dasi Formation in southeast Hubei Province, middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze River and its implications

The Jinniu Basin in southeast Hubei,located at the westernmost part of middle-lower val-ley of the Yangtze River,is one of the important vol-canic basins in East China. Volcanic rocks in the Jin-niu Basin are distributed mainly in the Majiashan Formation,the Lingxiang Formation and the Dasi Formation,consisting of rhyolite,basalt and basaltic andesite,(trachy)-basalt and basaltic trachy-andesite and (trachy)-andesite and (trachy)-dacite and rhyolite respectively,in which the Dasi volcanism is volumet-rically dominant and widespread. The Dasi volcanic rocks were selected for SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating to confirm the timing of volcanism. The results indi-cate that there exist a large amount of magmatic zir-cons characterized by high U and Th contents in the volcanic rocks. The concordia ages for 13 points are 128 ± 1Ma (MSWD = 3.0). On account of the shape of zircons and Th/U ratios,this age is considered to represent the crystallization time of the Dasi volcan-ism. The volcanic rocks in the Dasi,Majiashan and Lingxiang Formations share similar trace elementand REE partition patterns as well as Sr-Nd isotopic compositions. In combination with the regional geol-ogy,it is proposed that the southeast Hubei volcanic rocks were formed mainly during the Early Creta-ceous,just like other volcanic basins in middle-lower Yangtze valley. A lithospheric extension is also sug-gested for tectonic regime in this region in the Cre-taceous Period.

SHRIMP U-Pb zircon age of tuff at the bottom of the Lower Cambrian Niutitang Formation,Zunyi, South China

A SHRIMP U-Pb zircon geochronology study of the tuff at the bottom of the Lower Cambrian Niutitang Formation at Songlin, Zunyi, South China yielded a mean ^206Pb/^238U age of 518±5 Ma. It is significantly younger than the Re-Os ages of 537--542 Ma for the overlying polymetallic Ni-Mo-PGE-rich layer in the basal Niutitang Formation at Songlin, suggesting that the Re-Os ages might represent that of the original magma chamber for the Ni-Mo-PGE-rich layer rather than the formation age of the strata. The intra-basinal stratigraphic correlation also implies that the absolute age of the Chengjiang biota should be younger than 518±5 Ma. Our new result, together with the SHRIMP U-Pb zircon age for the K-bentonite in the Zhongyicun member of the Zhujiaqing Formation at the Meishucun section, Yunnan Province, provides a temporal constraint for the Lower Cambrian of the Yangtze Platform in South China.     

Lower boundary age of the Nanhua System and the Gucheng glacial stage: Evidence from SHRIMPⅡ dating

After the disintegration of the pro-Sinian System, the choice of the stratotype section of the newly established Nanhua System and determination of its lower boundary age have been one of the most important problems in Neoproterozoic stratigraphy[1—3]. In the Yangtze Gorge area in Yichang of Hubei Province where the standard section of the pro-Sinian System is located, the newly established Nanhua System consists only of the Nantuo formation (tillite) and the Liantuo Formation with tuf-…

Chronological record of the Early Mesozoic underplating in the northern margin of North China─U-Pb chronometry of zircons in the Late Mesozoic andesite from Western Liaoning

Cathodoluminescence spectroscopic analysis of zircons in the uppermost sanukites of the early Cretaceous Yixian Formation in Western Liaoning reveals zoning structures of the zircons in the volcanic rocks. LA-ICP-MS chronometry shows that the central part of the zircons is remnant zircon with a U-Pb dating of 254 Ma, which is consistent with the age of the Early Mesozoic underplating granulites, and that the periphery is zircon crystallizing out of the host magma with a U-Pb dating of 116 Ma, which is highly consistent with the Ar-Ar dating of the host volcanic rocks. Compositions of the clinopyroxenes xenocrystals in the sanukites are similar to those of the clinopyroxenes in the underplating granulites, indicating that the granulites accreted to the lower crust in the Early Mesozoic have been reformed and disrupted by the upwelling diapers of the asthenosphere and taken part in formation of the sanukites in the Late Mesozoic.

Zircon U-Pb geochronology of the volcanic rocks from Fanchang-Ningwu volcanic basins in the Lower Yangtze region and its geological implications

The latest eruptions in two important Mesozoic volcanic basins of Fanchang and Ningwu located in the middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze River formed the bimodal volcanic rocks of the Kedoushan Formation and ultrapotassic volcanic rocks of the Niangniangshan Formation, respectively. The representative volcanic rocks of the two Formations were selected for LA-ICPMS zircon U-Pb dating. The results indicate that there exist a large amount of magmatic zircons as indicated by high Th/U ratios in these volcanic rocks. The weighted mean age of 21 analyses is 130.7±1.1 Ma for the Kedoushan Formation, and that of 20 analyses is 130.6±1.1 Ma for the Niangniangshan Formation. These U-Pb ages are interpreted to represent the formation times of the volcanic rocks. In combination with other known geochronological data for Mesozoic volcanic rocks from the Lower Yangtze region, it is proposed that the latest volcanic activations in the Jinniu, Luzong, Fanchang and Ningwu volcanic basins probably came to end prior to ca. 128 Ma. There is no significant time interval between the early and later volcanic activities in the Luzong and Ningwu basins, suggesting a short duration of volcanic activities and thus implying the onset of an extensional tectonic setting at about 130 Ma in the Lower Yangtze region. Integrated studies reveal that the Early Cretaceous magmatic activities and their geochronological framework in the Lower Yangtze region are a response to progressively dynamic deep processes that started with the transformation of tectonic setting from compression to extension, followed by delaminating of the lower part of the thickened lithosphere, lithospheric thinning, asthenosphere upwelling, and crust-mantle interaction.
