吕梁地区宁家湾岩体锆石 U-Pb 年代学、地球化学特征及地质意义

对呈小规模岩株状产出的宁家湾岩体进行野外地质、岩石学、岩石地球化学、锆石U-Pb同位素年代学和Hf同位素组成研究, 目的是确定其岩石成因及地球动力学意义。两件样品的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果分别为2364±6 Ma (MSWD=0.13)和2360±23 Ma (MSWD =4.0), 属古元古代岩浆活动的产物。研究结果表明, 宁家湾岩体富碱、高K和Si, 具有高FeO^T/MgO 比值和高的高场强元素(HFSE)含量, 富集Rb, Ba, Th和U等元素, 具有低的Ca和Mg含量, 明显亏损P和Ti, 具弱轻重稀土分异和强Eu负异常(δEu=0.13~0.36)的海鸥型稀土分配模式, 显示高分异I型花岗岩的特征。较高的Y/Nb值(1.2~2.8)、锆石的ε_Hf(t)均为正值(+1.6~+6.4)以及单阶段模式年龄t_DM1(Hf)和二阶段模式年龄t_DM2(Hf)分别为2449~2629 Ma和2474~2711 Ma的特点, 表明源区可能为壳幔混合。明显的Nb, P 和 Ti负异常及Ce, Nd和Zr正异常, 反映出大陆边缘弧岩浆岩的特征。结合区域地质背景, 认为宁家湾岩体很可能形成于岛弧构造环境。     

吕梁地区近周营组蚀变火山岩 U-Pb-Hf同位素特征及其地质意义

选择吕梁群中原岔上群北部地层的蚀变火山岩进行锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素研究。锆石U-Pb测试获得两组年龄结果, 较年轻的谐和年龄为1813±6 Ma (n=7), 较老的²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb加权平均年龄为2516±31 Ma(n=2), 前者为火山岩喷发时代, 后者代表捕获锆石年龄。年轻锆石的ε_Hf(t)值为-10.8~-2.3, T_DM1值为2308~2655 Ma; 捕获锆石的ε_Hf(t)值为+10.0~+13.1。年龄约为2.5 Ga锆石的ε_Hf(t)值高于亏损地幔演化线, 考虑到UPb同位素和Hf同位素测点位置不完全相同, 说明所获得的Hf同位素组成为无地质意义的混合数值; 年龄约为1.8 Ga锆石的Hf同位素特征反映其可能源于富集地幔或受地壳物质混染的亏损地幔。结合前人的研究成果, 推断岩浆作用事件发生在约1.81 Ga 的碰撞后阶段。     

早泥盆世古亚洲洋构造作用:来自可可托海和额济纳旗花岗岩年代学研究

古亚洲构造域内发育有大量的古生代酸性侵入岩。对阿尔泰造山带可可托海近3号脉的酸性侵入岩体进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年分析,以确定其岩浆作用时代及其岩浆活动的构造意义。研究区内的花岗岩包含的锆石大部分为自形-半自形晶,显示为典型的岩浆成因;测年结果发现,该岩体形成于404.4±3.2 Ma,为早泥盆世岩浆活动的产物。通过对额济纳辉森乌拉西糜棱岩化二长花岗岩中白云母⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar同位素年代学分析,获得白云母的坪年龄和等时线年龄分别为407.69±3.09 Ma和407.65±3.99 Ma,这暗示了拐子湖-呼和音乌苏弧形挤压带在早泥盆世活动的冷却年龄。以上事件与早泥盆世古亚洲洋的俯冲、碰撞的构造环境关系密切。

Occurrence of Neoproterozoic low-grade metagranite in the western Beihuaiyang zone,the Dabie orogen

Based on detailed field investigations and petrographic observations, we discovered Neoproterozoic-emplaced granite from the metavolcanics of the Dingyuan Formation in the western Beihuaiyang zone, the Dabie orogen. This study reports the results of zircon U-Pb dating and preliminary petrographic observations on two metagranite samples. The studied rocks experienced epidote-amphibolite facies metamorphism and strong structural deformation. Their U-Pb ages are 726 ± 6 and 758 ± 12 Ma, respectively, similar to those for the Luzhenguan complex in the eastern segment of the Beihuaiyang zone. In combination with previously determined 635 ± 5 Ma low-grade metagabbro, this study suggests the occurrence of at least two types of Neoproterozoic intrusive rocks in the Beihuaiyang zone, the northern margin of the South China Block (SCB): 726–758 Ma metagranite and 635 Ma metagabbro. These rocks occur within the metamorphosed Ordovician volcanic zone (originally named the Dingyuan Formation) and are in tectonic contact to each other, but they formed in different tectonic settings. The protolith ages for the Neoproterozoic low-grade metaigneous rocks are in good agreement not only with ages for two episodes of mid- and late-Neoproterozoic mafic and felsic magmatism in the Suizhou and Zaoyang area, Hubei Province, but also agree with protolith ages of ultrahigh-pressure metaigneous rocks in the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt. In view of their tectonic relationships to country rocks, it appears that these Neoproterozoic low-grade rocks are exotic and they may have been detached and scraped from subducting SCB crust in the early Triassic during the initial continental subduction, and thrusted over Paleozoic metamorphosed rocks in the southern margin of the North China Block during continental collision.     

U-Pb dating of detrital zircons from the Wudangshan Group in the South Qinling and its geological significance

U-Pb dating was made by the LA-ICP-MS method for detrital zircons from the Wudangshan volcanic-sedimentary succession in the South Qinling. Samples comprise quartz sandstones of the Wudangshan Group collected from the base of the Yangping Formation and an upper layer of the Shuangtai Formation overlain its volcanic sequence, and two river-sand collections from the drainage systems cutting across the two formations, respectively. The results show that the Yangping detrital zircons are dominated by 830–780 Ma grains with a minor population of ~1.0–0.84 Ga and sporadic grains of ~2.6, ~2.4 and 2.0 Ga, whereas the Shuangtai zircons yield an upper intercept age of 763±33 Ma, identical to the timing of the Wudangshan volcanism within error, with few concordant grains of 1.9 and 0.86 Ga. Age spectra for the two river-sand samples are similar to those of the Yangping and Shuangtai Formations, respectively. It thus suggests that the Wudangshan strata are less than 780 Ma, whereas their major detrital zircon populations of 1.0–0.85 Ga and 830–780 Ma are consistent with timing of the Hannan magmatic activities along the northwestern margin of the South China Block. This suggests a Hannan or adjacent area provenance for the Wudangshan strata. The Wudang area is characterized by rift-related igneous events at ~755 and ~680 Ma, respectively, pointing to a tectono- magmatic history different from the Hannan area. It is inferred that the ~755 Ma magmatism is likely to indicate a separation of the South China Block from the supercontinent Rodinia, while the ~680 Ma event suggests a further split between the South Qinling and some unknown continent.     

从文学和物理学到地球科学：漫谈时间*

笔者从文学、物理学、地球科学到地质年代学论及时间点和时间段的定年问题。同位素地质年代学定年起源于欧洲,已有近百年的历史相当成熟,但只能测定地质事件峰值（时间点）迄今的年龄;我们倡导的构造地质年代学速率法定年为近年的探索,可以直接测定地质事件过程（时间段）历经的年龄。同位素地质年代学定年与构造地质年代学定年两者相互补。     

陕南铜厂闪长岩体的成岩、成矿时代及其地质意义

铜厂闪长岩体位于扬子地台北缘勉县-略阳-阳平关三角地块区域内, 主要由闪长岩、石英闪长岩和花岗闪长岩组成。LA-ICPMS 和 SHRIMP 锆石U-Pb 同位素定年结果表明铜厂闪长岩体存在 3 个侵位结晶阶段: 早期阶段的闪长岩形成于 879 ±7 Ma; 中期阶段的石英闪长岩形成于 848±5 ～840±7 Ma, 含矿钠长岩脉于 834±7 Ma侵位结晶, 与中期阶段石英闪长岩侵位时代在误差范围内一致; 晚期阶段花岗闪长岩形成于 824±5 Ma。这些新的年代学数据表明铜厂闪长岩体及其相伴生的大型铜厂铜矿形成于晋宁期, 而不是古生代, 揭示了扬子地台北缘存在重要的新元古代早期岩浆活动, 与 Rodinia 超大陆的裂解事件在时间上( 860 ～750 Ma) 基本一致, 是Rodinia 超大陆事件在扬子地台北缘的重要响应。     

内蒙狼山新元古代酸性火山岩的发现及其地质意义

在内蒙狼山西南段原定为中元古代沉积建造(渣尔泰山群)中, 新发现呈层产出、具有变余聚斑状和斑状结构、斑晶主要由石英和钠长石组成、岩石化学成分富钠低钾的酸性火山岩, 其顶、底板均为细晶方解石大理岩(或结晶灰岩). 两件代表性样品的锆石呈短柱状-长柱状, 内部环状结构发育, 具有较高的Th/U比值, 表明是岩浆成因. A8-0样品20粒锆石的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄为(816.9±4.5) Ma. A14-5样品也测定20粒锆石, 15粒锆石的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄为(805±5.0) Ma, 其余5粒锆石(3.1, 6.1, 7.1, 20.1, 21.1)依次为(867.0±10), (829.1±8.0), (849.7±9.8), (839.2±9.7), (830.7±9.3) Ma. 这证实酸性火山岩属于新元古代产物, 其年龄区间正好在 Rodinia(罗迪尼亚)超大陆裂解的时限范围内. 且酸性火山岩轻稀土富集, 重稀土亏损, 铕负异常明显, 高场强元素(HFSE)富集, 大离子亲石元素等相对亏损, 稀土和微量元素组成与华南扬子块体西缘和浙江次坞地区裂谷环境的新元古代酸性火山岩总体相似(但华南酸性火山岩的高场强元素Th, Nb, Ta, Hf, Zr均明显相对亏损), 具有形成于张性裂谷盆地的特征. 这表明内蒙狼山西南段存在与新元古代Rodinia超大陆裂解作用相呼应的海相火山-沉积变质建造, 内蒙狼山地区可能有与Rodinia超大陆裂解作用相呼应的构造-岩浆-热事件发生. 这一发现, 结合在西部阿拉善邻区发现的晋宁期花岗岩年龄(814~872 Ma)和金川超基性岩体的年龄(827 Ma)及华北地台邻区新元古代岩浆(火山)活动的最新研究成果, 对进一步研究Rodinia超大陆的构造演化历史有重要意义.
