东准噶尔红柳峡辉长岩锆石U-Pb年龄及地质意义

准噶尔盆地基底性质及形成时期问题对研究新疆地壳演化、油气资源的勘探与评价均有重要意义,但长期以来一直存在很大争议。准噶尔盆地东部红柳峡地区是探讨准噶尔盆地是否存在前寒武纪基底的代表性地区之一,因此对该区进行同位素定年分析,以期获得古老锆石年龄的同位素证据。选取原定为中元古界札曼苏岩群中的大量发育的变质辉长岩进行了LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb定年研究。发现U-Pb表面年龄值分布的范围很宽,从385±7 Ma至2 322±45Ma.岩浆锆石206Pb/238U加权平均年龄为(396±5)Ma(MSWD=1.15,n=7),代表辉长岩的结晶年龄为早泥盆世晚期。此外辉长岩中尚有4粒年龄为(842~2 322)Ma捕获锆石,代表了岩浆上升溢流路经区围岩中的锆石形成时代。札曼苏岩群被划分为中元古代是不准确的,综合该区的变质砂岩和玄武岩锆石同位素定年数据,认为札曼苏岩群形成时期的下限不早于早泥盆世。结合区域地质综合分析认为,准噶尔盆地东部可能存在前寒武纪的古老结晶基底。

北大坂花岗岩体位于北祁连中东段,为了精确测定岩体形成年代,对岩体中的浅灰黑色中粗粒英云闪长岩锆石进行了阴极发光(CL)成像观察,并利用LA-MC-ICP-MS对锆石进行微区U-Pb同位素测年。锆石的加权平均年龄为(447. 2±2. 4) Ma,表明其属于晚奥陶世岩浆活动产物。岩石地球化学数据分析表明,浅灰黑色中粗粒英云闪长岩为准铝质-弱过铝质高钾钙碱性花岗岩,富集大离子亲石元素,亏损高场强元素,稀土元素配分曲线呈右倾型,轻、重稀土元素分馏较为明显,显示出了I型花岗岩的特征。样品在构造判别图上均落入后碰撞花岗岩区域,结合区域上其它花岗岩体形成的构造环境研究,反映了北大坂岩体形成于北祁连洋壳的北向俯冲作用导致的北祁连岛弧与阿拉善地块碰撞期结束后的构造环境,暗示着北祁连洋在奥陶世晚期已经闭合。

Zircon U-Pb age of the Shacun gabbro body, Yuexi, Dabie orogen and its geological implications

The single grain zircon U-Pb age of the Shacun mafic-ultramafic intrusion, Yuexi, North Dabie is (128.1±2.0) Ma. This date indicates that the intrusion was implaced at Yanshanian when most Mesozoic granitoids were intruded. It was not the syn-collisional intrusion related to the subduction of the Yangtze Block and ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism at Indosinian.

Zircon U-Pb ages of granites at Changba and Huangzhuguan in western Qinling and implications for source nature

Mesozoic granitoids are widespread in the Qinling-Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt. Precise U-Pb dating on these granitoids can reveal the evolution of the continental collision orogen and thus provide information on the nature of magma sources. This study presents zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating and whole-rock geochemical analyses for two intrusions at Changba and Huangzhuguan in western Qinling. Zircon U-Pb ages for central and marginal phases of the Huangzhuguang intrusion are 214±1 Ma and 213±3 Ma, respectively. Zircons from the Changba intrusion yield a dominant cluster with an U-Pb age of 213±2 Ma. Collectively, these ages are younger than ages of 220 to 240 Ma for ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism due to the continental collision between the South China Block and the North China Block, corresponding to syn-exhumation magmatism. Some inherited zircons occur in the Changba intrusion, yielding a weighted mean of ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages at 757±14 Ma. This indicates that the Changba intrusion has the crustal source of mid-Neoproterozoic ages and a tectonic affinity to the South China Block. Geochemically, the two intrusuons are both rich in LILE and LREE but depleted in HFSE and HREE, similar to arc-type igneous rocks. The Huangzhuguang intrusion exhibits linear correlations between SiO₂ and the other major oxides, implying chemical evolution from a cognate magma source. It contains mafic enclaves, suggesting possible mixing of felsic-mafic magmas. The Changba granite is rich in Si and K but poor in Fe and Mg as well as has a high value of Fe*, suggesting strong differentiation of granitic magma. Therefore, the two intrusions were derived from the Late Triassic anatexis of the continental crust of different compositions in the northern margin of South China Block. This process may be coupled with exhumation of the subducted continental crust in the stage of late 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.     

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.     

Granitic magmatism related to early Paleozoic continental collision in North Qinling

Zircon U-Pb dating of early Paleozoic granitoids in North Qinling yields three age peaks of ~500, -452 and -420 Ma. They can be temporally correlated with high-pressure to ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism at ca. 500 Ma, retrograde granulite-facies meta- morphisms at ca. 450 Ma and amphibolite-facies metamorphism at ca. 420 Ma, respectively. The first episode of granitic magma- tism is considered to have resulted from continental collision, whereas the second and third episodes of magmatism are attributed to crustal uplifting. Combined with the regional geological setting and new results from high-pressure and ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks, the ca. 500 Ma magmatism is interpreted as the result of partial melting of sedimentary rocks in accretionary wedge between the south Qinling microcontinent and the north Qinling belt including the southern margin of the North China Craton. The ca. 450 Ma intensive magmatism is ascribed to dehydration melting of deeply subducted continental crust at thick- ened conditions in response to slab breakoff, and the final magmatism in ca. 420 Ma is interpreted as the product of partial melt- ing during the tectonic transition from contraction to extension.
