Triassic U-Pb age for zircon from granites in the Tonghua area and its response to the Dabie-Sulu ultrahigh-pressure collisional orogenesis

Single-grain zircon U-Pb dating was carried out to constrain the emplacement timing of granitic plutons at Chaxinzi, Xiaoweishahe and Longtou in the Tonghua area, south of Jilin Province. The results show that these plutons formed in the Triassic with ages of 203—217 Ma. Geological and geochemical characteristics indicate that the plutons are composed of quartz diorite and granite. The former was derived from partial melting of mafic lower crust, whereas the latter originated from thickened crust with garnet as the residue in the source. It appears that protoliths of these two types of granitits are different although they have the same emplacement age. Considering that these plutons are petrologically different from the coeval granites in the Xingmeng (Xing‘an-Mongolian) to Jihei (Jilin-Heilongjiang) orogenic belt in the north, it is suggested that their formation was related to the Dabie-Sulu ultrahigh-pressure collisional orogenesis since their ages are only 10—20 Ma younger than timing of the ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism, but comparable to that of the first rapid exhumation of the ultra-high-pressure metamorphic rocks and the emplacement of the post-collisional granites.     

五台山滹沱群SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄: 华北克拉通早元古代拼合新证据

采自五台山台怀镇南8 km处滹沱群变质火山-沉积岩层中的长英质凝灰岩样品含有两组锆石, 所记录的SHRIMP锆石方法²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb年龄分别为2180±5 Ma和2087±9 Ma. 在误差范围内, 较老的一组年龄与五台山大洼梁花岗岩年龄相当, 表明它们来自相似的地壳岩浆源; 而较年轻的一组锆石年龄与相邻地区阜平杂岩湾子表壳岩中变沉积岩和变火山岩及南营花岗片麻岩年龄相当, 因而被解释为滹沱群火山作用年龄. 这两组年龄的存在表明: (1) 滹沱群形成于早元古代而非太古宙; (2) 早元古代火山-沉积作用在五台和阜平地区同时间发生. 这样, 早元古代沉积作用在该区是广泛的, 它们代表了华北克拉通东部陆块西侧大陆边缘相沉积. 滹沱群火山作用年龄的确定也表明该群所经历的变质-变形事件发生在2087±9 Ma 之后, 这进一步佐证我们最近根据其他方面研究结果所得出的吕梁造山事件(约1.8 Ga)是该区主要构造事件的结论: 该事件导致华北克拉通东部陆块和西部陆块的最终拼合, 并成为全球早-中元古代超级大陆组成部分之一.     

180℃热液条件下锆石表面溶解行为研究

报道了锆石颗粒在180℃,HCl或NaCl溶液中经过240～712 h反应后表面特征的变化.扫描探针显微镜(SPM)对比观测表明,反应前后锆石表面微形貌发生了显著变化,反应后锆石表面平台和台阶普遍存在溶蚀现象,而在NaCl(1 mol/L)溶液中反应712 h的锆石表面出现了nm级、串珠状定向排列、可能是ZrO2的沉淀物.X射线光电子能谱(XPS)测定发现,锆石溶解过程中元素Si比元素Zr有更快的溶出速率,因而反应后锆石表面可以形成富锆的薄层.锆石表面溶解现象还得到了反应溶液ICP-MS分析结果的进一步支持,测定反应后溶液成分的变化发现,随着反应时间的增加,Zr,Hf,U等元素的溶出量也随之增加,HCl溶液中锆石各元素的溶出量最高,均比NaCl中性溶液中的溶出量要高.     

冀西北水泉沟碱性杂岩体锆石U-Pb定年

美国、加拿大、澳大利亚和巴布亚新几内亚等国都已发现了与碱性岩有关的超大型金矿床.我国的水泉沟碱性杂岩体中也发现了具有发展成为超大型潜力的东坪金矿床.尽管如此,金矿与碱性岩的成因关系目前还不大清楚.赋矿岩体和矿床形成时代的确定是解决问题的关键之一.前人对水泉沟岩体的形成时代做了大量的工作,认为是海西-印支期或燕山期.本文采用微量和单颗粒锆石U-Pb法测得该岩体形成于元古宙.1 地质概况及样品特征水泉沟碱性杂岩体位于华北地台北缘中段太古宇桑干群中,长约55km,宽5～8km.岩石类型主要是碱性长石(石英)正长岩,尚有少量二长岩.各类型岩石间呈渐变过渡关系.岩体地质地球化学特征表明其属于深源岩浆成因.样品采自东坪金矿东部的碱性长石正长岩中.锆石晶体除少数具有明显的熔烛圆化现象外,大部分晶形完好,无色或浅黄色透明,四方

钙钛锆石(CaZrTi2O7)和榍石(CaTiSiO5)是人造岩石固化放射性废物理想的介质材料.以天然锆英石(ZrSiO4)、模拟放射性焚烧灰、CaCO3、TiO2为原料,借助失重-差热(TG-DTA)分析和X射线衍射(XRD)分析,研究了合成CaZrTi2O7和CaTiSiO5的固相反应.结果表明,随着模拟放射性焚烧灰掺量的增加,合成CaZrTi2O7和CaTiSiO5的温度降低,ZrSiO4的分解温度降低.模拟放射性焚烧灰掺量(质量分数)分别为20%、40%、60%,合成CaZrTi2O7的最低温度分别是1050 ℃、950 ℃、900 ℃,合成CaZrTi2O7的最低温度分别是950 ℃、950 ℃、900 ℃,合成CaZrTi2O7和CaTiSiO5的最佳合成温度分别为1260 ℃、1230 ℃、1200 ℃.     

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.

汉诺坝橄榄辉石岩包体锆石U-Pb年龄: 97~158 Ma岩浆底侵作用和麻粒岩相变质作用之间的成因联系

对大麻坪橄榄辉石岩包体利用LA-ICP-MS和SHRIMP进行的锆石U-Pb同位素年代学研究发现, 橄榄辉石岩包体中的锆石年龄极其复杂, 包括中太古代(3123±4.4 Ma)、晚太古代(2541±54 Ma)、早元古代(1844±13 Ma)、古生代(418~427 Ma)和两组中生代年龄(223~244, 97~158 Ma). 中生代锆石具有典型的岩浆成因特征(如内部韵律环带结构和高Th含量), 反映该地区存在两次中生代隐性岩浆活动. 其中97~158 Ma年龄与汉诺坝麻粒岩包体的年龄分布一致, 反映麻粒岩相变质作用是由岩浆底侵作用带来的大量热引起的, 底侵作用和麻粒岩相变质作用同步发生, 两种作用至少从158 Ma持续至97 Ma. 418~427 Ma年龄则可能反映了加里东期蒙古板块向华北板块俯冲的影响. 1.84, 2.54和3.12 Ga年龄与华北克拉通的3次重要壳幔演化事件一致. 这些年龄表明目前该地区深部地壳仍存在古老下地壳物质.
