The zircon SHRIMP chronology and trace element geochemistry of the Carboniferous volcanic rocks in western Tianshan Mountains

The genesis of the Carboniferous volcanic rocks in the Dahalajunshan group, mainly consisting of trachytes and trachy-andesites and distributing widely in western Tianshan Mountains, remains to be controversial. It has been proposed to be relevant to “rift” or “plume”. Detailed petrology and geochemical data presented in this paper show that these volcanic rocks represent typical continental arc magmatism. The volcanic rocks are mainly trachy-andesitic, and the magma source is enriched in LILE, Th and Pb, and depleted in HFSE and Ce. Trace element geochemical study suggests that the basalts could be modeled by 7% -11% partial melt of garnet Iherzolite. The volcanic rocks in the Dahalajunshan group are neither the products of “rift” nor so-called “plume”but represent the continental island arc of the Paleo-Southern Tianshan Ocean. The mantle wedge had been modified by the melt generating in subduction zone during a long evolution history of this island arc. The continental crust materials （i.e. mainly sediment on ocean floor） had been added into island arc through melt in subduction zone. Volcanic rocks occurring in different regions might represent magma eruption in different time. The zircon SHRIMP dating indicates that the ages of the basalt varies between 334.0 Ma and 394.9 Ma. The 13 analyses give an average age of 353.7±4.5 Ma （MSWD = 1.7）. The apparent ages of zircons in trachy-andesite vary between 293.0 Ma and 465.4 Ma. All analyses fall on the U-Pb concordant line and are divided into two groups. 8 analyses produce an average age of 312.8±4.2 Ma （MSWD = 1.7）, which represents the crystallizing age of zircon rims in trachy-andesite. The acquired two ages （i.e. 354 and 313 Ma） belong to the Early Carboniferous and Late Carboniferous epochs, respectively. Thus, the Dahalajunshan group would be separated into several groups with the accumulation of high-quality age dating and data of trace element and isotopic geochemistry, in our opinion.     

碱性A型花岗岩中的富钍锆石: 矿物学研究

浙江桃花岛、青田和山东崂山A型花岗岩是中国东部沿海三个典型的燕山期碱性A型花岗岩体. 利用电子探针对这些花岗岩中锆石的内部结构和矿物成分进行了分析, 结果显示大部分所观察到的锆石颗粒都由两部分组成. 一部分显著富钍, ThO₂含量大于1%, 最高达10.1%, 超过了前人实验获得的锆石中钍的溶解极限值(ThO₂2=5.5%±2.5%), 且ThO₂/UO₂>2, 而另一部分则贫钍, ThO₂含量小于1%, 但该区域以包含微米级钍石包裹体为特征, 并常伴有微小的孔洞. 同时进行的初步对比研究发现, 铝质A型花岗岩中的锆石ThO₂含量一般小于1%, ThO₂/UO₂<2, 并且不含任何钍石包裹体. 锆石成因矿物学特征表明, 富钍锆石可以看作为碱性A型花岗岩的标志性副矿物之一. 锆石的富钍性源于其原始岩浆, 预示其深源特点. 因此, 碱性A型花岗岩中高度富钍锆石形成于深源、高温、富钍岩浆的早期结晶阶段; 岩浆分异至晚期出现流体相富集, 富钍锆石受到流体作用发生溶解重结晶作用, 导致低钍锆石和钍石包裹体共生现象.     

Determination of U-Pb age and rare earth element concentrations of zircons from Cenozoic intrusions in northeastern China by laser ablation ICP-MS

Using the in situ zircon U-Pb dating method of LA-ICPMS, we analyzed the 31 Ma old SHRIMP U-Pb age of the Yongsheng nepheline syenite from southern Jilin Province under different spot sizes. The obtained ages are comparable with that of SHRIMP in both accuracy and precision. The age is also identical to that of the Yinmawanshan gabbro from the Liaodong Peninsula within error. Both the Yongsheng nepheline syenite and the Yinmawanshan gabbro represent the youngest known exposed intrusions in northeastern and even eastern China. The results indicate the Eocene mantle-derived magmatic underplating, and the rapid crustal uplifting of this region since 30 Ma. The analyses also document extremely high LREE concentrations and relatively fiat REE patterns for the zircons from the Yongsheng nepheline syenite, which represent a new type of zircon REE pattern.

安徽铜官山石英闪长岩及其包体锆石U-Pb定年与成因探讨

铜陵地区中酸性侵入岩及其岩石包体的成因与Fe, Cu成矿作用和长江中下游岩石圈动力学演化关系密切. 本文以铜陵地区代表性的中生代中酸性侵入岩铜官山岩体及其岩石包体为研究对象, 进行了仔细的岩相学研究、矿物化学电子探针成分分析和LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb同位素定年. 铜官山角闪 石-辉石堆积岩包体中辉石、角闪石矿物的化学成分与寄主岩中相应矿物的化学成分呈明显的线性变化, 但Al含量高, 是岩浆侵位前结晶的产物. 铜官山寄主岩及微粒闪长岩包体中辉石、角闪石矿物化学成分相似, 说明它们有密切的成因联系, 形成压力相仿. 铜官山石英闪长岩中锆石颗粒的定年结果表明该岩体的结晶年龄为137.5 1.1 Ma, 与以往不同方法的定年结果十分一致, 但本次锆石U-Pb同位素LA-ICPMS定年同时揭示了晚太古代残留锆石的存在, 证实该地区中生代岩浆作用有古老下地壳物质的参与. 定年结果还表明微粒闪长岩包体的结晶年龄为137.52.4 Ma, 与寄主岩浆的结晶年龄完全一致. 此外, 本文还结合以往的Sr-Nd-Pb同位素资料, 讨论了铜官山石英闪长岩及其包体的成因.

对北秦岭松树沟高压基性麻粒岩中的锆石进行了阴极发光图像、微区原位LA-ICP-MS微量元素分析和U-Pb定年. 结果表明, 这些锆石具有明显的双层结构, 核部主体由扇形或面形分带区域组成, 局部显弱分带或云雾状结构, 具低的Th, U, REE, HREE含量和低的Th/U与较高的(Nd/Yb)_N比值, 显示了与石榴石平衡生长的锆石的稀土配分型式, 应属变质成因; 核部的外围存在一窄的亮色环边, 与核部界线呈浑圆状或港湾状, 为后期退变质影响的结果. 对11粒锆石核部区域的24次U-Pb同位素分析获得²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄加权平均值为485±3.3 Ma, 代表松树沟高压基性麻粒岩的峰期变质年龄. 该年龄值与秦岭岩群北侧的超高压榴辉岩及其围岩片麻岩的变质年龄值(507±37 Ma)在误差范围内一致, 表明在北秦岭秦岭岩群南北两侧存在同时代的两条早古生代高压-超高压变质岩带. 初步认为这两条高压-超高压变质岩带的形成, 可能分别对应于早古生代时期秦岭古洋盆和二郎坪洋盆俯冲消减引发的微陆块之间或微陆块与岛弧地体之间陆壳双向深俯冲碰撞作用.

Zircons from two high-pressure granulite samples from the Yushugou ophiolitic terrane, southern Tian shan have been investigated by cathodoluminescence, LA ICPMS and ion microprobe (SHRIMP) for their internal textures, trace elemental compositions and in situ dating. The weighted mean ages of these two samples are 392±7 and 390±11 Ma, respectively, representing the granulite-facies meta morphic age of the ophiolitic terrane, and indicating that the southern Tianshan ocean initiated its northward subduction since the early Devonian.     

沧水铺火山岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄及“南华系”底界新证据

湖南益阳地区沧水铺组陆相火山岩-火山碎屑沉积砾岩为一套高角度不整合于中元古界冷家溪群复理石浊积岩之上的楔状地层. 取自该组地层下部火山岩段底部的英安质火山集块岩样品(N3)的高精度离子探针(SHRIMP)锆石U-Pb同位素年龄为814±12 Ma, 这一年龄数据与已有的沧水铺组火山岩年龄数据(921~933 Ma)差距较大, 它代表了该地区新元古界新的底界年龄. 此项研究结果改变了沧水铺火山岩的时代归属, 并支持以下观点: (1) 研究区缺失了新元古代早期(814~1000 Ma之间)的沉积地层; (2)华南裂谷系始于约820 Ma左右; (3) 820 Ma可能是中国新元古界“南华系”的底界年龄.
