The Caribou Mountain pluton is a small trondhjemitic body thatintruded semipelitic schist of the Stuart Fork terrane in lateMiddle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous time. Its emplacement followedthe intrusion of an adjoining body of hornblende quartz dioritecalled the Middle Fork pluton and the mode of its emplacementwas as an asymmetric ballooning diapir (Davis, 1963), as shownby concentric foliation, radial late-stage dikes, foliated enclaves,and folded blocks of schlieren-banded tonalite. Coarse-grainedhornblende-bearing trondhjemite is the dominant rock type inthe Caribou Mountain pluton, and it is called the ‘maintrondhjemite’. It was followed by medium-grained ‘latetrondhjemite’ and by late-stage trondhjemitic and granodioriticdikes. All the trondhjemitic rock types are characterized bylow alkali contents, high light rare earth elements, low initial87Sr/86Sr, and low 18O. However, the late trondhjemite has higherNa2O and a higher initial 87Sr/86Sr value than the main trondhjemite,and the two units cannot be related by fractional crystallization.The late granodioritic dikes are richer in Ba, Rb, Y, and Scthan the late trondhjemite and probably reflect assimilationof Stuart Fork metasedimentary rocks by late-stage trondhjemiticmagma. Mafic enclaves in the main trondhjemite contain xenocrysts ofquartz and plagioclase derived from the host by magma mixing.The enclaves have K2O, Ba, and Rb contents similar to, or higherthan those of the host rocks. Their rare earth element (REE)patterns display strong middle REE enrichment caused by accumulationof hornblende, probably as the result of filter pressing. The main trondhjemite cannot be derived from Middle Fork magmabecause the initial 87Sr/86Sr of the Middle Fork pluton is lowerthan that of the trondhjemite. The absence of parental maficmagmas of appropriate composition suggests that the CaribouMountain trondhjemitic magmas formed by partial melting of anamphibolitic source rock compositionally similar to low-K tholeiite. 相似文献

Thin mafic dikes, possibly correlative with the Independence dike swarm of SE California, transect uppermost Proterozoic–Cambrian
metasedimentary strata in the White-Inyo Range. Textures and bulk-rock chemistry indicate that the protoliths were diabases
and microdiorites, accompanied by Ca + Mg + Fe +Ni + Cr-rich hornblende (± minor augite) cumulates. Analytical data suggest
crystal settling and fractionation at shallow depths. Most of the dikes lie in the mapped aureoles of – and were metamorphosed
by – voluminous Late Jurassic granitoid plutons; however, a few metadikes cut these plutons and must have been recrystallized
during the emplacement of Cretaceous granitic stocks. The mafic metadikes thus include members of two or more temporally distinct
suites, pre-Late Jurassic, and latest Jurassic–Cretaceous. Neoblastic mineral assemblages and element partitioning within
these nonfoliated mafic metadikes reflect lower-to-upper greenschist facies overprints; metamorphic parageneses, coincident
with those developed in the metasedimentary wallrocks, are defined by the production of chlorite, biotite, white mica, epidote,
and actinolite, and by albitization of the igneous plagioclase. Based on analytical and mineralogic data obtained in this
study, the following conclusions regarding subsolidus recrystallization of the mafic metadikes are advanced: (1) Newly grown
minerals and phase assemblages are systematic in their areal distributions. (2) Metamorphic grade increases chiefly toward
the north and east, toward the Late Jurassic granitoids. (3) Element fractionation among coexisting neoblastic phases is regular,
and compatible with a close approach to chemical equilibrium. (4) Assemblages 3–5 km from the granitic intrusive contacts
reflect lowermost greenschist facies physical conditions. (5) Investigated mafic dikes exhibit mineral parageneses isofacial
with the regional/contact metamorphic assemblages previously documented for the enclosing pre-Mesozoic clastic country rocks.
Clearly, mafic dikes of several ages of injection and recrystallization are present in the central White-Inyo Range, making
correlation with the Independence dike swarm problematic. In any case, the dikes record localized contact metamorphism that
took place sporadically over portions of an approximately 100 million year interval.

藏南雅鲁藏布蛇绿岩被认为是新特提斯大洋岩石圈的残留。该带中段的日喀则白马让蛇绿岩是保存较完整的蛇绿岩岩块之一。该蛇绿岩主要由橄榄岩、蛇纹岩、镁铁质侵入岩和玄武岩组成,缺堆晶岩系。镁铁质侵入岩主要呈辉绿岩脉、岩床和少量的岩墙产出。辉绿岩脉在整个蛇绿岩层序中均有分布,侵入橄榄岩的部分岩脉已经变为变辉绿岩和异剥钙榴岩。辉绿岩床(墙)向上逐渐过渡为玄武岩。局部可见日喀则群整合覆盖在玄武岩之上。地球化学分析显示不同产状的镁铁质岩均属于低钾或中钾的拉斑玄武岩,亏损Nb、Ta、Ti和LREE,具有弧前玄武岩(FAB)或弧后盆地玄武岩(BABB)的特征,它们的Ti/V和Yb/V的比值与BABB或正常大洋中脊玄武岩(N-MORB)相似,Sr-Nd-Pb同位素数据指示了亏损地幔(DM)与富集地幔(EM)过渡的源区。镁铁质岩野外产出关系和地球化学特征表明,白马让蛇绿岩的镁铁质岩组合可能形成于SSZ环境。考虑到超镁铁质岩、镁铁质岩和日喀则群在空间上的连续性,认为白马让蛇绿岩可能是起源于亚洲大陆边缘俯冲带上的洋盆,属于原地系统,而非外来的构造岩片。 相似文献

Indirect environmental effects of dikes on estuarine tidal channels: Thinking outside of the dike for habitat restoration and monitoring 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
W. Gregory Hood 《Estuaries and Coasts》2004,27(2):273-282
While the most obvious effects of dike construction and marsh conversion are those affecting the converted land (direct or
intended effects), less immediately apparent effects also occur seaward of dikes (indirect or unintended effects). I analyzed
historical photos of the Skagit River delta marshes (Washingto, U.S.) and compared changes in estuarine marsh and tidal channel
surface area from 1956–2000 in the Wiley slough area of the South fork Skagit delta, and from 1937–2000 in the North Fork
delta. Dike construction in the late 1950s caused the loss of 80 ha of estuarine marsh and 6.7 ha of tidal channel landward
of the Wiley Slough dikes. A greater amount of tidal channel surface area, 9.6 ha, was lost seaward of the dikes. Similar
losses were observed for two smaller North Fork tidal channel systems. Tidal channels far from dikes did not show comparable
changes in channel surface areas. These results are consistent with hydraulic geometry theory, which predicts that diking
reduces tidal flushing in the undiked channel remnants and this results in sedimentation. Dikes may have significant seaward
effects on plants and animals associated with tidal channel habitat. Another likely indirect dike effect is decreased sinuosity
in a distributary channel of the South Fork Skagit River adjacent to and downstream of the Wiley Slough dikes, compared to
distributary channels upstream or distant from the dikes. Loss of floodplain area to diking and marsh conversion prevents
flood energy dissipation over the marsh surface. The distributary channal has responded to greater flood energy by increasing
mean channel width and decreasing sinuosity. Restoration of diked areas should consider historic habitat loss swaward of dikes,
as well as possible benefits to these areas from dike breaching or removal. Habitat restoration by breaching or removal of
dikes should be monitored in areas directly affected by dikes, areas indirectly affected, and distinct reference areas. 相似文献

Ages and initial isotopic ratios of Early Cretaceous ({smalltilde}100 Ma) plutons of the Cordilleran Interior in the southernTurtle and West Riverside mountains distinguish them from LateCretaceous plutons in surrounding ranges in the eastern MojaveDesert. Furthermore, the studied plutons have isotopic and geochemicalcharacteristics more similar to plutons of Cretaceous age inthe coastal batholiths (Peninsular Ranges and Sierra Nevada)than to most Mesozoic plutons in the Cordilleran Interior. Thestudied plutons are calcic, in contrast to the mostly cak-alkalineMesozoic plutons of the eastern Mojave Desert. Distinctive isotopicsignatures of the granitoids include lower initial 87Sr/86Srof 0•705–0•710, 18O of +6•3 to +7•7,208Pb/204Pb of 38•3–39•5, and higher Nd of –3•86to –9•60 than the Late Cretaceous plutons in theregion. The distinctive characteristics of these Early Cretaceousplutons are probably both location and time specific and resultfrom: (1) emplacement in a cold, untapped ‘Mojave-type’Proterozoic upper crust, (2) a significant component of basalticmagmas partially melted from the asthenosphere or subcontinentallithosphere and (3) a magmatic component derived from Proterozoic,mafic, lower crust. They interacted less with their crustalhosts than did the later, more voluminous Late Cretaceous plutons. KEY WORDS: Cordilleran Interior; Cretaceous; Mojave; pscudothron; Turtle Mountains 相似文献

The Midcontinent Rift (MCR) of North America comprises a series of basaltic sheets, flows and intrusive rocks emplaced in the Lake Superior region during the Mesoproterozoic. The mafic rocks preserved on the northern flank of Lake Superior represent the older portions of the rift sequence and offer insights into the early development of the rift. New geochronological, geochemical and paleomagnetic data are presented for the dikes and sills located in and south of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Three sill suites are recognized within the study area; an earlier, spatially restricted ultramafic unit termed the Riverdale sill, the predominant Logan sills and Nipigon sills in the north of the study area. In addition three dike sets are recognized, the north-east trending Pigeon River swarm, the north-west trending Cloud River dikes and the Mt. Mollie dike. The geochemical data demonstrate that the majority of sills south of Thunder Bay are of Logan affinity and distinct from those of broadly similar age in the Nipigon Embayment to the north. The Pigeon River dikes that intrude the sills are geochemically coherent but distinct from the Logan sills and could not be feeders to the sills. The new age of 1109.2 ± 4.2 Ma for the Cloud River dike and its R polarity are consistent with published magnetostratigraphy. The Mt. Mollie dike age (1109.3 ± 6.3 Ma) indicates that it is not coeval with the spatially associated Crystal Lake gabbro as previously thought. The complexity of the dike and sill suites on the northern flank of suggests that the early phases of rifting occurred in distinct and changing stress fields prior to the main extensional rifting preserved in younger rocks to the south. The geochemistry and geochronology of the intrusions suggest a long-lived and complex magmatic history for the Midcontinent Rift. 相似文献

The Guarguaraz Complex, in western Argentina, comprises a metasedimentary assemblage, associated with mafic sills and ultramafic bodies intruded by basaltic dikes, which are interpreted as Ordovician dismembered ophiolites. Two kinds of dikes are recognized, a group associated with the metasediments and the other ophiolite-related. Both have N-MORB signatures, with εNd between +3.5 and +8.2, indicating a depleted source, and Grenville model ages between 0.99 and 1.62 Ga. A whole-rock Sm–Nd isochron yielded an age of 655 ± 76 Ma for these mafic rocks, which is compatible with cianobacteria and acritarchae recognized in the clastic metasedimentary platform sequences, that indicate a Neoproterozoic (Vendian)–Cambrian age of deposition.The Guarguaraz metasedimentary–ophiolitic complex represents, therefore, a remnant of an oceanic basin developed to the west of the Grenville-aged Cuyania terrane during the Neoproterozoic. The southernmost extension of these metasedimentary sequences in Cordón del Portillo might represent part of this platform and not fragments of the Chilenia terrane. An extensional event related to the fragmentation of Rodinia is represented by the mafic and ultramafic rocks. The Devonian docking of Chilenia emplaced remnants of ocean floor and slices of the Cuyania terrane (Las Yaretas Gneisses) in tectonic contact with the Neoproterozoic metasediments, marking the Devonian western border of Gondwana. 相似文献

The magmas of the Tertiary volcanic province of S. Queenslandare chemically bimodal, and occur in numerous volcanic centres,at least three representing original shield volcanoes. The maficlavas are dominantly hawaiites and tholeiitic andesites, whereasthe silicic magmas comprise mainly trachytes, rhyolites, andcomendites. The silicic rocks exhibit variable trace element abundance patterns.There is a progressive depletion of Sr, Ba, V, Mg, Ni, Cr, Mn,and P, through the trachytes to the rhyolites and comenditeswhile the behaviour of Zr, Nb, LREE, Y and Zn is very variable.Rb, Th, and to a lesser extent Pb exhibit a more regular behaviour,becoming most generally concentrated in the comendites and rhyolites.These trace element patterns are modelled by application ofthe Rayleigh distillation model, using partition coefficientsbased on analysed phenocrysts from the S. Queensland siliciclavas. Trace mineral phases, namely zircon, chevkinite, andallanite, are shown to be important in the probable controlof LREE, Zr, and Th abundances, while Nb and Zn are probablycontrolled during fractionation by magnetite. Trace elementdata for the hawaiites and tholeiitic andesites also indicateextensive although variable levels of fractional crystallizationof these magmas. The Sr and O isotopic compositions of the mafic lavas, trachytes,comendites and rhyolites are as follows: initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios;0.70357–0.70456, 0.70432–0.70589, 0.70495–0.70917,and 0.70708–0.70863 respectively. 18O range between 5.6–7.0(mafic lavas), 4.9–8.7 (trachytes), 5.0–7.6 (comendites)and 8.1–10.4 per mil (rhyolites). Pb isotopic compositionsare variable, showing a variation of 6.7 per cent for 206Pb/204Pbratios through the range of volcanic compositions. The rhyolitesexhibit a much greater divergence in their O, Sr, and Pb isotopiccompositions compared with those of associated mafic lavas,than is found in the trachytes and comendites. Within the silicicvolcanics, positive correlations exist between 18O and initialSr ratios, and between Pb isotopic compositions and initialSr ratios (with one group of trachytes providing a noteworthyexception). These correlations are not so clearly defined forthe mafic lavas, although these do exhibit positive correlationsbetween differentiation index, 18O, and initial Sr isotope ratios. The development of the silicic magmas, excepting two groups,is interpreted in terms of a model in which assimilation andfractional crystallization occur concurrently, involving a basaltor hawaiite magma component and a crustal component (modelledon the analysed Carboniferous basement greywackes outeroppingin the region); the data indicate, however, that differentiationcontinued in isotopically closed systems (i. e. isolated fromthe wallrocks). The highly depleted Sr and Ba abundances ofthe rhyolites and comendites suggest that contamination didnot occur after differentiation had ceased. The rhyolites havethe highest isotopic input of the crustal components and areinterpreted as crustal anatectic melts, produced locally withinthe crust in response to basalt/hawaiite magma intrusion, whereasmost of the trachytes and comendites are interpreted as primarilythe differentiated products from original mafic parental magmas,with variable assimilation of crustal wallrock components. Theisotopic data suggest that only the Minerva Hills trachyticlavas, and a Glass House comendite, have not been significantlymodified by wallrock assimilation processes. The erpted maficmagmas were also evidently modified by isotopic crustal wallrockinteractions, which independent petrological data suggest hasoccurred at intermediate to lower crustal depths. 相似文献

The mid-Jurassic calcalkaline Russian Peak intrusive complex,located in the Klamath Mountains of northern California, consistsof an elliptical peridotite-to-quartz diorite suite intrudedby two plutons of granodiorite. Several techniques were usedto decipher the crystallization conditions for ultramafic rocks,quartz diorite, and granodiorite, including comparison of parageneseswith crystallization experiments, application of geothermometersand barometers, and evaluation of phase equilibria. Contactmetamorphic assemblages, hornblende barometry, and amphibolesubstitution schemes indicate that pressures of intrusion were{small tilde}3 kbar. Plagioclase and pyroxene thermometry indicateintrusion temperatures of {small tilde}1000C for quartz dioriteand 900C for granodiorite. Phase equilibrium analysis for thereaction phlogopite+quartz=K-feldspar+enstatite+H2O, coupledwith an estimate of the water-saturated quartz diorite solidus,suggests that the solidus of two-pyroxene quartz diorite wasat {small tilde}780C with a mole fraction of water of {smalltilde}0•55. The composition of granodiorite is very similarto that used in several crystallization experiments and indicatesa solidus of 70025C. Estimates of oxygen fugacity, obtainedfrom equilibrium relations of olivine, orthopyroxene, and spinelin ultramafic rocks, magnetite and ilmenite in quartz diorite,and magnetite, K-feldspar, and biotite in quartz diorite andgranodiorite are 2•1–2•5 and 1•0–1•3log units above the quartz-fayalite-magnetite (QFM) buffer forgranodiorite and quartz diorite at their respective solidustemperatures; and 1•0–4•0 log units above QFMfor ultramafic rocks and quartz diorite at subsolidus temperatures.Thus, the quartz diorite magma was hotter, drier, and slightlyreduced relative to the grandiorite magma, differences thatset important constraints on the genesis of the Russian Peakmagmas. These results also indicate that quartz diorite wasundersaturated with respect to H2O as it reached its solidus,a condition that is consistent with the absence of deutericalteration in this unit. In contrast, granodiorite shows extensivedeuteric alteration and features pegmatites, quartz pods, andradial dikes as might be expected for H2O-saturated conditions. Although calcalkaline plutonic complexes present serious difficultiesin estimating the intensive parameters of crystallization, judiciousapplication of appropriate methods may result in the successfulevaluation of the conditions of crystallization of such complexes. 相似文献

Geochemistry and Intrusive History of the Ashland Pluton, Klamath Mountains, California and Oregon 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2

The Ashland pluton is a calc-alkaline plutonic complex thatintruded the western Paleozoic and Triassic belt of the KlamathMountains in late Middle Jurassic time. The pluton comprisesa series of compositionally distinct magma pulses. The oldestrocks are hornblende gabbro and two-pyroxene quartz gabbro withinitial 87Sr/86Sr = 0{dot}7044, 18O = 8{dot}7%, and REE patternswith chondrite normalized La/Lu = 7. These units were followedby a suite of tonalitic rocks (LaN/LuN = 7) and then by a suiteof K2O- and P2O5 rocks of quartz monzodioritic affinity (LaN/LuN= 13–21; LaN/SmN = 2{dot}4–3{dot}) The quartz monzodioriticrocks were then intruded by biotite granodiorite and granitewith lower REE abundances but more fractionated LREE(LaN/LuN= 13–19; LaN/SmN = 4{dot}3–6 and they, in turn,were host to dikes and bosses of hornblende diorite. The latestintrusive activity consisted of aplitic and granitic dikes.Combined phase equilibria and mineral composition data, indicateemplacement conditions of approximately Ptotal = 2{dot}3kb,PH2O between 1{dot}5 and 2{dot}2 kb, and fO2 between the nickel-nickeloxide and hematite-magnetite buffers. Successive pulses of magma display increasing SiO2 togetherwith increasing 18O and decreasing initial 87Sr/86Sr. The isotopicdata are consistent with either (1) combined fractional crystallizationof andesitic magma and concurrent assimilation of crustal materialcharacterized by low Sr1 and high (18O or, more probably, (2)a series of partial melting events in which sources were successivelyless radiogenic but richer in 18O Each intrusive stage displaysevidence for some degree of crystal accumulation and/or fractionalcrystallization but neither process adequately accounts fortheir compositional differences. Consequently, each stage appearsto represent a distinct partial melting or assimilation event. The P2O5-rich nature of the quartz monzodiorite suite suggestsaccumulation of apatite. However, the suite contains abundantmafic microgranitoid enclaves and most apatite in the suiteis acicular. These observations suggest that magma mixing affectedthe compositional variation of the quartz monzodiorite suite.Mass balance calculations are consistent with a simple mixingprocess in which P2O5-rich alkalic basalt magma (representedby the mafic microgranitoid enclaves) was combined with a crystal-poorfelsic magma (represented by the tonalite suite), yielding aquartz monzodioritic magma that then underwent differentiationby crystal fractionation and accumulation. 相似文献

The early Permian Xiaomiao mafic dike swarm in the East Kunlun orogenic belt (EKOB) provides an excellent opportunity to study the petrogenesis of such swarms developed in supra-subduction zone environments, and to investigate the early plate tectonic history of the Palaeo-Tethyan Ocean. Hornblende 40Ar–39Ar dating results indicate that the mafic dikes formed in the early Permian (277.76 ± 2.72 Ma). The Xiaomiao mafic hypabyssals have the following compositional range: SiO2 = 46.55–55.75%, MgO = 2.80–7.38%, Mg# = 36–61, and (Na2O + K2O) = 2.87–4.95%. Chemically, they display calc-alkali affinities, ranging in composition from gabbro to gabbroic diorite. All analysed dikes are enriched in light rare earth elements and large-ion lithophile elements (e.g. Rb and Ba), but are depleted in heavy rare earth elements and high field strength elements (e.g. Nb, Ta, and Ti). Their ISr and ?Nd(t) values range from 0.707 to 0.715 and –2.60 to +2.91, respectively. They are geochemically similar to subduction-related basaltic rocks (e.g. island arc basalt), but differ from E-MORB and N-MORB. Petrographic and major element data reveal that fractional crystallizations of clinopyroxene, olivine, hornblende, and Fe–Ti oxides may have occurred during magma evolution, but that crustal contamination was minor. Based on geochemical and Sr–Nd isotopic bulk-rock compositions, we suggest that the mafic dikes were likely generated by 10–20% partial melting of a spinel + minor garnet lherzolite mantle source metasomatized by subducted, slab-derived fluids, and minor sediments. Based on our results, we propose that the early evolution of the Palaeo-Tethyan Ocean involved the spreading and initial subduction of the Carboniferous to early Permian ocean basin followed by late Permian subduction, which generated the magmatic arc. 相似文献

We report major and trace element X-ray fluorescence (XRF) datafor mafic volcanics covering the 15-Ma evolution of Gran Canaria,Canary Islands. The Miocene (12–15 Ma) and Pliocene-Quaternary(0–6 Ma) mafic volcanics on Gran Canaria include picrites,tholeiites, alkali basalts, basanites, nephelinites, and melilitenephelinites. Olivineclinopyroxene are the major fractionatingor accumulating phases in the basalts. Plagioclase, Fe–Tioxide, and apatite fractionation or accumulation may play aminor role in the derivation of the most evolved mafic volcanics.The crystallization of clinopyroxene after olivine and the absenceof phenocrystic plagioclase in the Miocene tholeiites and inthe Pliocene and Quaternary alkali basalts and basanites withMgO>6 suggests that fractionation occurred at moderate pressure,probably within the upper mantle. The presence of plagioclasephenocrysts and chemical evidence for plagioclase fractionationin the Miocene basalts with MgO<6 and in the Pliocene tholeiitesis consistent with cooling and fractionation at shallow depth,probably during storage in lower-crustal reservoirs. Magma generationat pressures in excess of 3•0–3•5 GPa is suggestedby (a) the inferred presence of residual garnet and phlogopiteand (b) comparison of FeO1 cation mole percentages and the CIPWnormative compositions of the mafic volcanics with results fromhigh-pressure melting experiments. The Gran Canaria mafic magmaswere probably formed by decompression melting in an upwellingcolumn of asthenospheric material, which encountered a mechanicalboundary layer at {small tilde}100-km depth. 相似文献

Abstract High- P/T metamorphic parageneses are preserved within two late Palaeozoic to early Mesozoic assemblages of the southern Klamath Mountains that show contrasting structural styles and mineral parageneses reflecting formation in different parts of a subduction-zone regime. Blueschist facies tectonites of the Stuart Fork terrane represent a coherent subduction complex formed at relatively deep crustal levels, whereas the chaotic metasedimentary mélange of the eastern Hayfork terrane contains a diverse range of metamorphic parageneses reflecting complex structural mixing of metamorphic components at shallower levels. The convergent-margin-type accretionary metamorphism evident in both terranes pre-dates Middle Jurassic low- P/T metamorphism resulting from regional tectonic contraction and magmatism.
The epidote- to lawsonite-zone Stuart Fork blueschists (and eclogites locally) formed at pressures of about 6-11 kbar and temperatures of 250-400° C. Deformed matrix material of the eastern Hayfork mélange formed at similar temperatures but lower pressures, on the order of 3-6 kbar. The mélange contains a diverse assemblage of tectonic blocks that formed under a range of P-T conditions, including those of the blueschist, pumpellyite-actinolite, greenschist and upper greenschist to amphibolite facies.
The succession of mineral parageneses and inferred P-T conditions of the eastern Hayfork blocks reflect those of igneous protolith formation, structural mixing, subduction-zone metamorphism, olistolith transport, and tectonic and erosional denudation. Although temporal relations are not well constrained, the evolution of these terranes is consistent with formation within a single convergent-margin system. 相似文献

Post-orogenic mafic dikes are widespread across eastern Shandong Province, North China Craton, eastern China. We here report new U–Pb zircon ages and bulk-rock geochemical and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic data for representative samples of these rocks. LA-ICP-MS U–Pb zircon analysis of two mafic dike samples yields consistent ages of 118.7 ± 0.25 million years and 122.4 ± 0.21 million years. These Mesozoic mafic dikes are characterized by high (87Sr/86Sr) i ranging from 0.7082 to 0.7087, low ?Nd(t) values from??17.0 to??17.5, 206Pb/204Pb from 17.14 to 17.18, 207Pb/204Pb from 15.44 to 15.55, and 208Pb/204Pb from 37.47 to 38.20. Our results suggest that the parental magmas of these dikes were derived from an ancient, enriched lithospheric mantle source that was metasomatized by foundered lower crustal eclogitic materials prior to magma generation. The mafic dikes underwent minor fractionation during ascent and negligible crustal contamination. Combined with previous studies, these findings provide additional evidence that intense lithospheric thinning beneath eastern Shandong occurred at ～120 Ma, and that this condition was caused by the removal/foundering of the lithospheric mantle and lower crust. 相似文献

The South Mountain Batholith is a peraluminous granitic complexranging in composition from biotite granodiorite to muscovite-topaz‘leucogranite’. Leucogranitic rocks (with generally<2% biotite) form a minor part ({small tilde}1•5%) ofthe batholith, and are of two types: (1) ‘associated leucogranites’occurring as relatively small zones in fine-grained leucomonzogranites;and (2) ‘independent leucogranites’ forming generallylarger bodies having no particular spatial association withother rock types. Mean chemical compositions of these two typesof leucogranite are as follows (associated, independent): Na2O(3•46,3•83),K2O(4•40,4•09),andP2O5 (0•26, 0•45)in wt.%;Li(149, 281), F(1199, 2712),Rb (393, 725), U (7•4, 4•4), Nb (12•8, 23•4),Ta (2•9, 7•1), and Zr (52, 31) in ppm. Rare earthelements also differ between the two types (associated, independent):REE (34•1 ppm, 19•9 ppm); and in the degree and variabilityof heavy REE fractionation (GdN/YbN=4•62•2, 2•00•7).In addition, associated leucogranite has REE compositions similarto those of its host rocks. Mean 18O values (associated +ll•21•2,independent +ll•40•5; relative to SMOW) are comparablewith the mean for the entire South Mountain Batholith (+l0•80•7).Radiometric dating (40Ar/39Ar on muscovite) shows that bothtypes of leucogranite have identical ages of 3723 Ma, equivalentto ages determined by other techniques for granodiorite andmonzogranite samples elsewhere in the batholith. Field relationsand geochemistry suggest that the associated leucogranite resultsfrom an open-system interaction between a fluid and its hostleucomonzogranite, whereas the independent leucogranite bodiesare discrete intrusions of highly fractionated melts that underwentclosed-system, late-magmatic to post-magmatic fluid alteration.Where mineralized, the associated leucogranite characteristicallyhosts greisen-type or disseminated polymetallic mineralization,whereas the independent leucogranite hosts pegmatitic or disseminatedpolymetallic mineralization. 相似文献

The time of final closure of the Palaeo-Tethys and the Sibumasu-Indochina collision in Southeast Asia represents a major unresolved geologic problem. Here, we present zircon chronology, whole-rock elemental, Sr–Nd, and zircon Hf isotopic geochemistry for newly discovered mafic dikes from the northern segment of the Sibumasu terrane, to provide constraints on this issue. Zircon U–Pb data indicate that the dikes were emplaced at 240 ± 3 Ma. These are the earliest Mesozoic magmatic rocks reported so far in the Sibumasu terrane, the late Palaeozoic passive margin of the Palaeo-Tethys. They are subalkaline tholeiites, showing geochemical characteristics similar to those of enriched mid-ocean ridge basalts (E-MORBs). They have 87Sr/86Sr(t) ratios of 0.703161–0.703826, ?Nd(t) of +4.8 to +7.5, and zircon ?Hf(t) of +9.2 to +13.3, implying strong mantle depletion. They were derived by partial melting of asthenospheric mantle and underwent subsequent fractional crystallization and lithospheric assimilation. The geologic–petrologic evidence suggests that the mafic dikes were generated in a collisional setting, when suturing of the Baoshan and Simao subterranes (the two subterranes are part of the Sibumasu and Indochina terranes, respectively) occurred. These early Middle Triassic mafic dikes provide an upper limit for Sibumasu–Indochina collision. In conjunction with previous work, we conclude that the final closure of the Palaeo-Tethys and collision of the Sibumasu and Indochina terranes took place during the late Permian to Early Triassic. 相似文献

Geochemical Constraints on the Petrogenesis of Diamond Facies Pyroxenites from the Beni Bousera Peridotite Massif, North Morocco 总被引：10，自引：4，他引：6
The petrogenesis of pyroxenite layers within the Beni Bouseraperidotite massif is investigated by means of elemental andNd-Sr-Pb-O-S isotope analyses. The light rare earth element(LREE) depleted nature of many of the pyroxenites, their widevariation in composition, and lack of correlation between incompatibleelements and fractionation indices preclude them from representingcrystallized melts from a peridotitic source. The physical characteristicsof the pyroxenites and their large (greater than a factor of20) range in Ni rule out partial melting as the cause of theirpetrological and geochemical diversity. Major and compatibletrace element geochemistry is consistent with formation of mostof the pyroxenite suite via high-pressure crystal segregationin magma conduits intruding the peridotites. These magmas crystallizedclinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, and garnet. The pressure of crystallizationis constrained to be above {small tilde}45 kbar from the presenceof graphitized diamonds in pyroxenite layers. Lack of correlationbetween fractionation indices and highly incompatible elementsand the wide variation in incompatible element abundances suggestthat the suite did not form from genetically related magmas.The presence of positive and negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* =0•54–2•0) in pyroxenites which crystallizedat pressures much greater than the plagioclase stability field({small tilde} 45 kbar) suggests that the parental magmas originatedfrom precursors which formed in the crust. Oxygen isotope compositionsof coexisting minerals in the pyroxenites indicate high-temperatureequilibration but 18O values vary from +4•9 to + 9•3,ruling out their derivation from the host peridotites or othernormal mantle sources. The extreme O-isotope variation, togetherwith 34S values of up to + 13 in sulphides included within CPXstrongly suggests that the melts from which the pyroxenitescrystallized were derived from hydrothermally altered, subductedoceanic lithosphere. Extreme initial radiogenic isotope variationin the pyroxenites (Nd + 26 to –9 , 87Sr/86Sr 0•7025–0•7110,206Pb/204Pb 18•21–19•90) support such an originbut also require a component with ancient, high U/Pb and Th/Pbin their source to explain the high 7/4 and 8/4 values of somepyroxenites. This component may be subducted hemi-pelagic sediment.Further evidence for a sediment component in the pyroxenitesis provided by isotopically light carbon in the graphite pyroxenites(13C–16 to – 28). Parentdaughter isotopes in thepyroxenites are strongly decoupled, making estimation of formationages speculative. The decoupling occurred recently (<200Ma), probably as a result of partial melting associated withdiapiric upwelling and emplacement of the massif into the crustfrom the diamond stability field. This late partial meltingevent further depleted the pyroxenites in incompatible elements.The variably altered nature of the subducted protolith and complexhistory of trace element fractionation of the pyroxenites haslargely obscured geochemical mixing trends. However, Nd–Pbisotope systematics indicate that incorporation of the componentwith high U/Pb–Th/Pb occurred relatively recently (<200Ma) for some pyroxenites. Other pyroxenites do not show evidencefor incorporation of such a component and may be substantiallyolder. Tectonic, geophysical, and isotopic constraints indicateformation of the pyroxenites in the mantle wedge above a subductingslab during the Cretaceous. Physical and chemical evidence forhigh-pressure fractionation seen in most of the pyroxenitesprecludes them from simply representing ancient subducted oceaniclithosphere, thinned by diffusion. However, the petrologicaland isotopic diversity of the massif support the concept ofa ‘marble cake’ mantle capable of producing theobserved geochemical diversity seen in oceanic magmas.

Augustine Volcano, a Quaternary volcanic centre of the easternAleutian Arc, produces predominantly andesites and dacites oflow- to medium-K calc-alkaline composition. Mineralogical andmajor element characteristics of representative lavas suggestthat magmatic evolution has been influenced by both crystalfractionation and magma-mixing processes. However, incompatibletrace element variations (e.g. K/Rb) indicate that these evolvedlavas have been contaminated by the mafic arc crust of the underlyingTalkeetna accreted terrane. The limited range of isotope compositionsalso supports the assimilation of non-radiogenic mafic crust(e.g. 87Sr/86Sr = 0.7032–0.7034; 143Nd/144 Nd = 0.51301–0.5130).In addition, Pb-isotope compositions parallel the North Pacificmean oceanic trend (206Pb/204 Pb = 18.3–18.8; 207Pb/204Pb= 15.5–15.6; 208Pb/204Pb = 38.2–38.3) and do notrequire a subducted sediment component in the source. Relativelyhigh (Ba/La) N (0.79–18.10) and B/Be (14.5) ratios do,however, suggest a metasomatic fluid component derived fromthe dehydration of the subducting plate. The thickened continental crust (35 km) of the eastern AleutianArc prevents the ascent of basaltic melts, which fractionateand assimilate at various depths to produce andesitic magmas.These andesites evolve towards more silicic compositions byfractional crystallization. The absence of evidence for a largehigh-level crustal magma chamber implies that the magmatic systembeneath the volcano is young and at an immature stage of evolution.

The Western Triassic and Paleozoic belt (WTrPz) is a regionally extensive, composite terrane correlative with Cache Creek-affinity rocks, a major crust-forming lithotectonic entity of the North American Cordillera. New structural, stratigraphic, and petrologic data suggest that a large tract of greenschist to amphibolite-grade metavolcanic and metasedimentary rock, previously considered to consist of several separate oceanic terranes, is, instead, a single fault-bounded, volcanic island arc, the Sawyers Bar terrane. It represents a mid-Jurassic, relatively intact, recrystallized nappe complex 5 to 10 km thick, extending over 100 km along strike in the central Klamaths. Protoliths of the complex are interpreted to be Lower Triassic (?) to mid-Jurassic supracrustal, volcanic arc-related units deposited, deformed, and metamorphosed within a suprasubduction zone adjacent to the continental margin. Metamorphism increases monotonically with depth in the nappe, ranging from prehnite-pumpellyite to lower greenschist-grade in the Pony Camp area on the south, through greenschist-grade in the medial Sawyers Bar area, to low-pressure amphibolite-grade metamorphism in the Marble Mountains on the north. The Pony Camp area generally lacks penetrative deformation. In the Marble Mountains, peak metamorphism largely postdates intense deformation; nevertheless, folding of fabrics and brittle deformation are common. The complex is bounded by low-angle, W-vergent, crustal-scale, mid-Jurassic thrusts. The Soap Creek Ridge fault juxtaposes Stuart Fork blueschists over the Sawyers Bar complex. The lower thrust is not definitely established, but must be situated beneath tectonic levels postulated by earlier workers. It may coincide with the previously unrecognized brittle-plastic Isinglass shear zone in the Marble Mountains, and a poorly exposed, unnamed low-angle fault in the Virgin Buttes region west of Pony Camp. In this area, mapping indicates that the Twin Sisters fault is a relatively minor high-angle break within the WTrPz, rather than being a crustal-scale terrane suture. Synmagmatic, brittle extensional faults are common, as are syn and postmetamorphic, regionally extensive, high-angle faults that internally imbricate the WTrPz; the latter are marked by sheared serpentinite. Folds within the Sawyers Bar nappe complex are NE to NW-trending and W-vergent. Structural evidence suggests that W-vergent thrusting, E-W contraction, regional Siskiyou metamorphism, penetrative deformation, and crustal thickening occurred at ～170 to 165 Ma, and preceded voluminous 167 to 162 Ma calc-alkaline plutonism. In the study areas, waning stages of Siskiyou deformation were characterized by thermal relaxation, uplift, extension, crustal thinning, and E-directed tectonic transport. Nevadan age contraction (155 to 150 Ma), prevalent to the west at lower structural levels of the WTrPz, is not recognized in the Sawyers Bar nappe; however, regionally developed open folding of Siskiyou metamorphic fabrics and rare superposed folding and axial-plane cleavage development in the Marble Mountains may reflect a Nevadan event. Brittle deformation that clearly post-dates Siskiyou folding is younger than 150 Ma, but is older than ～130 Ma, the age of the oldest marine strata that overlie the Klamath province regionally. Kinematic evidence from the eastern Marble Mountains suggests sinistral transtension of possibly latest Jurassic-Early Cretaceous age. Late-stage brittle deformation is permissibly Cenozoic; the Sawyers Bar thrust sheet was tilted a maximum of 30° to the south along the flanks of the Condrey Mountain dome during Cenozoic uplift. The Sawyers Bar nappe complex is similar to other composite terranes in Phanerozoic convergent suture zones throughout the world. Like the Klamath Mountains, these areas also may represent different exposure levels within a single fault-bounded entity rather than an amalgam of disparate terranes. 相似文献
