Confirmation of pelitic granulite in the Altai orogen and its geological significance

The existence of pelitic granulite in the Altai orogen was confirmed for the first time by detailed petrographic research and P-Tpseudosection modeling. The pelitic granulite has the assemblage of garnet ＋ cordierite ＋ K-feldspar ＋ biotite ＋ sillimanite ＋ plagioclase ＋ quartz with some samples containing the paragenesis of cordierite ＋ spinel. Peak conditions of the pelitic granuUte determined from the P-T pseudosection involved P = 0.5-0.6 GPa, T= 780-800℃ belonging to medium- to low-pressure type. SHRIMP U-Pb dating of zircon presented a metamorphic age of 292.8 ± 2.3 Ma. The discovery of pelitic granulite reflects an extensional environment with high heat flow in the southern margin of the Altai orogen during the Early Permian, which provides an important petrological constraint on the evolution of the Altai orogen.     

Formation history and protolith characteristics of granulite facies metamorphic rock in Central Cathaysia deduced from U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopic studies of single zircon grains

The petrochemical as well as zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopic studies of granulite facies metamorphic rock from the Tao＇xi Group in eastern Nanling Range, Central Cathaysia indicate that its protolith is the sedimentary rock with low maturation index. The clastic materials are mostly from middle Neoproterozoic （-736 Ma） granitoid rocks with minor Neoarchaean and Paleoproterozoic rocks. The timing of this Neoproterozoic magmatism is in agreement with the second period of magmatism widespread surrounding the Yangtze Block. Hf isotopic data indicate that the Neoproterozoic granitoids resulted from the recycled Paleoproterozoic mantle-derived crustal materials. The sedimentary rock was deposited in Late Neoproterozoic Era, and carried into low crust in Early Paleozoic. The partial melting of the meta-sedimentary rock took place at about 480 Ma and subsequently granulite facies metamorphism occurred at ca. 443 Ma. The zircons forming during this time interval （Early Paleozoic） show large Hf isotope variations, and their ZHf（t） values increase from -13.2 to ＋2.36 with decreasing age, suggesting the injection of mantle-derived materials during partial melting and metamorphism processes in the Early Paleozoic. Calculation results show that this metamorphic rock, if evolved to Mesozoic, has similar isotopic composition to the nearby Mesozoic high Si peraluminous granites, implying that this kind of granulite facies metamorphic rock is probably the source material of some Mesozoic peraluminous granitoids in eastern Nanling Range.     

Paleoproterozoic lower crust beneath Nushan in Anhui Province： Evidence from zircon SHRIMP U-Pb dating on granulite xenoliths in Cenozoic alkali basalt

Zircon SHRIMP U-Pb dating was carried out for an intermediate granulite xenolith in Cenozoic alkali basalt from Nushan. The results suggest that the lower crust beneath Nushan may have formed at about 2400—2200 Ma, and have been subjected to granulite-facies metamorphism at 1915 27 Ma. The old age of the Nushan lower crust is consistent with the geochemical similarities between Nushan granulite xenoliths and Archean-Paleoproterozoic granulite terrains in the North China craton, but it is not distinguishable from high-grade metamorphic rocks in the Yangtze craton where such old ages were also reported. Significant Pb-loss occurs in the Nushan zircons, implying important influence of widespread Mesozoic to Cenozoic underplating in East China on the lower crust beneath Nushan.

麻粒岩中的水对大陆下地壳性质和演化的启示

大陆下地壳是地球深部最重要的层圈结构之一，是壳幔物质发生交换和相互作用的直接场所. 麻粒岩是大陆下地壳的主要组成物质，其成岩模式和组成特点对于更好地理解大陆下地壳的性质、形成和演化具有重要的意义. 流体是下地壳内非常活跃的一种介质，不仅会对下地壳内许多性质产生显著影响，还可能对麻粒岩的成因和下地壳的形成方式有重要制约. 麻粒岩在某种程度上可以看作是大陆下地壳的代名词，变质作用造成的麻粒岩组成上的许多特点，如亏损生热元素（HPE）和大离子亲石元素（LILE）等，被广泛地认为是影响下地壳化学成分的直接因素. 文中综述了近些年来对大陆下地壳、麻粒岩和流体作用的若干进展和三者之间日趋突出的争议和问题，结合对中国东部一些典型产地产出的麻粒岩捕虏体/地体麻粒岩中主要组成矿物（斜方辉石， 单斜辉石， 斜长石和石榴石）的Fourier变换红外光谱（FTIR）分析结果，指出这些矿物中的结构水可能构成了大陆下地壳内最重要的水储库. 这些水的存在和发现，可能为研究下地壳内的流体活动、麻粒岩相变质作用和大陆下地壳的一些典型的地球物理学特征（如地震活动和电导率异常现象）提供新的途径，同时也表明大陆下地壳内的许多地质作用过程和原先的一些认识都可能要重新评估.

大别山区中酸性麻粒岩和变形花岗岩的锆石U-Pb年龄

大别山不仅出露含柯石英和含金刚石的榴辉岩,而且有相当面积的麻粒岩相岩石和角闪岩相岩石。近年已应用多种年代学方法对榴辉岩进行了较为系统的定年研究,但有关麻粒岩相岩石的年代学研究少有报道,因而尚不能为了解麻粒岩与榴辉岩的成因联系,特别是为探索大别杂岩前寒武纪构造演化提供年代学制约。本文拟对中酸性麻粒岩和侵入其中的变形花岗岩的单晶-微量锆石U-Pb定年结果进行报道。
