柴西地区南翼山构造上新统混积岩中含有大量盐类矿物,其物源分析对盐矿物质来源研究有一定的参考价值。本文在野外观察和镜下鉴定的基础上,对南翼山构造上新统狮子沟组混积岩的地球化学特征进行了分析,并结合周缘造山带花岗岩的稀土元素数据,探讨了混积岩中陆源碎屑的物质来源。结果显示：南翼山构造狮子沟组混积岩中碎屑矿物、碳酸盐矿物和黏土矿物呈均匀混合的状态,元素含量与矿物组分密切相关,除Ca、Na、Sr元素外,其余元素含量普遍低于上地壳平均含量,其中CaO和Na2O受碳酸盐和石盐形成影响,不能用于判别构造背景,而Sc、Th、Zr、Hf等微量元素和稀土元素较完整地保留了源岩的地球化学信息,可用于源区构造背景的判别及物源示踪,同时稀土元素配分模式一致性较好,表明混积岩中陆源碎屑具有相同的物源特征。稀土元素配分模式、La Th Sc、Th Sc Zr/10、La/Th Hf图解以及Al2O3/TiO2比值共同指示南翼山混积岩的陆源碎屑组分来源于大陆岛弧背景下的长英质火成岩,通过与周缘造山带花岗岩稀土配分模式对比,推断晚志留世和晚二叠世花岗岩是混积岩中陆源碎屑和盐类矿物的主要源岩,南部的祁漫塔格是主要的物源区,且西部的阿尔金南段也有部分物源贡献。 相似文献

磷灰石广泛分布于火成岩、沉积岩和变质岩中,是一种常见的、包含丰富微量元素的副矿物。磷灰石晶格可容纳丰富的微量元素,且因其形成的物理化学条件不同会表现出差异明显的微量元素特征。利用磷灰石微量元素特征可以追踪物质来源和演化。现在常用的方法是利用磷灰石的微量元素绘制二元判别图解,经典判别图解包括Sr-Y、Sr-Mn、Y-(Eu/Eu^(*))和(Ce/Yb)_(N)-REE图解。随着微区测试技术发展,磷灰石微量元素数据日渐丰富,同时由于磷灰石化学成分的复杂性,传统图解已逐渐无法有效利用这些数据所携带的信息,进而无法准确判别其生成环境。建立能准确判别磷灰石物源的新型判别图解故而迫切。近年来,磷灰石微量元素数据的大量积累,为运用以大数据为依托,准确判别磷灰石物源奠定了数据基础。本研究将大数据技术与地球化学数据相结合,共收集整理了1925个代表性磷灰石测试点的微量元素数据,对富碱性火成岩、超镁铁质岩石、镁铁质火成岩、长英质花岗岩、中-低级变质岩、高级变质岩六种类型中磷灰石微量元素数据进行穷举端元处理,共获得7140个磷灰石物源判别图解端元组合,在轮廓系数限定下,进一步有效筛选并提取出能判别磷灰石物源类型的最优图解端元。本文构建了Eu/Y-Ce磷灰石判别新图解,相较于之前的磷灰石判别图解,其涵盖了更全面的物源类型,可以更准确地判别源区类型。 相似文献

内蒙古索伦地区上二叠统林西组沉积物源受控于晚古生代古亚洲洋的闭合事件。本文通过分析碎屑岩元素地球化学特征,对林西组母岩类型和古构造环境进行了探讨。常量元素分布特征表明,林西组早期属于风化程度较弱的第一次旋回沉积物,后期属于中等风化的第一次旋回沉积或再旋回沉积物,母岩类型以火成岩为主;微量元素和稀土元素分布特征表明,林西组母岩沉积环境为大陆岛弧背景下切割的岩浆弧,以上地壳碱性-中性火成岩为主,伴有钙质-泥质沉积岩,（Gd/Yb）n表明早期沉积母岩为太古宙碱性火成岩。综合分析表明,林西组沉积同时接受南侧华北板块北缘和北侧苏尼特左旗-锡林浩特-西乌旗南岩浆弧的共同物源供给,早期沉积有华北板块北缘太古宙基底母岩的参与。 相似文献

哀牢山构造岩浆带晚二叠世-早三叠世火山岩特征及其构造环境 总被引：15，自引：7，他引：8
本文对中国云南哀牢山构造岩浆带内的雅轩桥、帽盒山、绿春火山岩等开展了相关研究.雅轩桥附近的火山岩为晚二叠世,岩性主要为橄榄粗安岩-玄武岩(少量安山岩),在TAS图上既有碱性又有亚碱性.钾含量较低(＜1.19％),为低钾钙碱-中钾钙碱性,Peacock碱钙指数以钙碱性为主.与MORB相比,其痕量元素蛛网图亏损Nb、Ta,而富集Pb,从Zr-V曲线呈平坦型,并且整体比MORB亏损.稀土元素配分模式与MORB相近,但略显轻稀土元素富集和重稀土元素亏损.在构造环境判别图上均位于火山弧环境.他郎河边(雅轩桥地区)火山岩为英安岩,属亚碱性,中钾钙碱性,Peacock指数为钙性.痕量元素蛛网图、REE模式图以及大地构造环境判别图,均表明其属于弧的构造环境.由上推测雅轩桥火山岩在晚二叠世属于弧火山岩.帽盒山玄武岩的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb测年结果为249±1.6Ma,为早三叠世.岩性为亚碱性钠长玄武岩,低钾钙碱性系列,Peacock碱钙指数以钙性为主.痕量元素蛛网图和REE配分模式图与MORB相比,LREE略微富集.在构造环境判别图中位于从E-MORB向岛弧过渡的构造环境.绿春地区流纹岩的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄为247.3±1.8Ma,为早三叠世,属亚碱性,钾玄岩系列,Peacock碱钙指数为碱钙性.痕量元素蛛网图、REE配分模式图及大地构造环境判别图显示其为成熟岛弧向陆陆碰撞的过渡环境.结合前人研究,推测哀牢山洋在晚泥盆世形成,可能在石炭世-早二叠世(?)处于洋的扩张期.晚二叠世时,在哀牢山洋的西侧出现了雅轩桥的初始孤火山岩,预示着至少在这一时期,哀牢山洋已经开始俯冲.到三叠世早期(249±1.6Ma),在哀牢山洋的东侧出现了具有弧和MORB的双重特性的帽盒山玄武岩,可能指示此时哀牢山洋盆已经变小,或已转化为孤间或弧后盆地,洋的演化进入了晚期阶段,并且在局部地段,如绿春地区,此时(247.3±1.8Ma)已经进入到成熟岛弧向陆陆碰撞的过渡阶段.因此支持哀牢山洋在晚三叠世闭合的结论,亦符合上三叠统一碗水组不整合在哀牢山蛇绿混杂岩之上的事实. 相似文献

New major and trace element data on the Proterozoic Chimalpahad layered anorthositic Complex and associated basaltic amphibolites of the Nellore Schist Belt of South India provide new constraints on their petrogenesis and geodynamic setting. The Complex consists of layered anorthosites, leucogabbros, gabbros, ultramafic rocks and is spatially associated with basaltic amphibolites. Despite deformation and metamorphism, primary cumulate textures and igneous layering are locally well preserved throughout the Complex. Whereas the amphibolites display diverse REE systematics, the Chimalpahad anorthositic–gabbroic rocks are characterized by moderately depleted to strongly enriched LREE patterns and by flat to depleted HREE patterns. The field relations, major and trace element compositions of the basaltic amphibolites suggest that they are petrogenetically related to the anorthositic–gabbroic rocks by fractional crystallization. The anorthositic rocks and the basaltic amphibolites share the depletion of Nb relative to Th and La on primitive mantle-normalized diagrams. They exhibit signatures of arc magmatic rocks, such as high LILE and LREE relative to the HFSE and HREE, as well as high Ba/Nb, Ba/Zr, Sr/Y, La/Yb ratios that mimic chondrite-normalized REE and primitive mantle-normalized trace element patterns of arc magmas. Similarly, on log-transformed tectonic discrimination diagrams, the Chimalpahad rocks plot within the field of Phanerozoic magmatic arcs, consistent with a subduction zone origin. On the basis of field relations and geochemical characteristics, the Chimalpahad Complex is interpreted as a fragment of a magma chamber of an island arc, which is tectonically juxtaposed against its original volcanic cover. A new preliminary Sm–Nd date of anorthosite from the Chimalpahad Complex indicates a model age of 1170 Ma. 相似文献

20世纪70～80年代,以Pearce为代表的一批科学家先后提出了玄武岩和花岗岩的构造环境判别图,将构造环境与岩石地球化学特征有机地结合起来,为岩浆岩大地构造环境研究开辟了新途径。但学术界对全球广布的安山岩构造环境及相关地球化学特征问题的讨论则相对不足。本文利用GEOROC 和PetDB 两个数据库对全球新生代安山岩进行数据挖掘,讨论了它们的地球化学特征及形成环境。初步将全球新生代安山岩归属为12个形成构造环境,其中67.71%产出于岛弧、陆缘弧等汇聚板块边缘环境,其余安山岩则形成于大陆板内、大陆溢流、洋岛、大陆裂谷、洋中脊等构造环境。研究表明,常用的玄武岩微量元素判别图以及LILE/HFSE 玄武岩判别图均在一定程度上可用于安山岩成因及环境判别, 暗示安山岩地球化学成分也可用于构造环境的判定。采用大数据思维,探索洋岛安山岩（OIA）和岛弧安山岩（IAA）中地球化学元素的关联关系,从获得的近20 000 个OIA-IAA 判别图中选出lg（Cs/Ta）-lg（Cu/Ta）、lg（CaO/Nb）-lg（Cs/Zr）和lg（Cu/Ta）-lg（Co/Nb）等6个图解,能有效限定它们的构造环境,为安山岩成因及形成环境研究提供了新的思路。这些初步成果说明科学大数据的研究方法可成为岩浆岩构造环境及地球化学研究中的重要有效手段。 相似文献

沉积岩的微量和稀土元素对沉积环境变化有着较高的灵敏度,是研究古沉积环境以及沉积物源区构造背景的一种有效手段。本文主要利用地球化学方法对贺兰山晚三叠世延长组不同地区、不同层段的25件泥岩、粉砂岩以及细砂岩样品进行了主量、微量以及稀土元素测试分析,探讨了延长期沉积环境和物源区构造背景。结果显示：延长期整体处于氧化—还原过渡的淡水环境,古气候温暖潮湿;稀土元素球粒陨石标准化配分表现为轻重稀土分异明显,且轻稀土富集、重稀土相对亏损,Eu负异常,Ce异常不明显等特征;La/Yb-REE和La/Th-Hf源岩判别图及Gd/Yb的比值关系图显示延长组源岩主要为长英质岩石,部分为基性岩和沉积岩,且以后太古界为主要物源;La-Th-Sc,Th-Sc-Zr/10和Th-Co-Zr/10判别图解均显示研究区延长组物源区构造背景主要为大陆岛弧,晚期有活动陆缘构造背景的物源加入。 相似文献

针对目前应用愈来愈广泛的不同岩石,特别是岩浆岩的微量元素构造环境判别图解使用过程中存在的问题,从这些判别图解建立的原理,介绍了微量元素构造环境判别图解的使用原则。强调指出所采集的样品必须新鲜(无蚀变或极弱蚀变)、非堆晶的岩石;选择的判别图解必须与判别的岩石类型相一致,即对花岗岩类要用花岗岩的判别图解,不能用玄武岩的判别图解;对特殊类型岩石要选择专门用于该类型岩石的判别图解,如碱性花岗岩,钾质火成岩;要应用多种图解综合判断;不能用单个样品,而应作多个样品分析;要注意所选择判别图解的特别说明等。此外,一些构造环境判别图解还能给出岩石的成岩过程和源区。 相似文献

The provenance of low-calcic black shales 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
The elemental concentration of sedimentary rocks depends on the varying reactivity of each element as it goes from the source through weathering, deposition, diagenesis, lithification, and even low rank metamorphism. However, non-reactive components of detrital particles ideally are characteristic of the original igneous source and thus are useful in provenance studies. To determine the source of detrital granitic and volcanic components of low-calcic (<1% CaCO3) marine black shales, the concentrations of apparently non-reactive (i.e. unaffected by diagenetic, redox and/or low-rank metamorphic processes) trace elements were examined using standard trace element discrimination diagrams developed for igneous rocks. The chemical data was obtained by neutron activation analyses of about 200 stratigraphically well-documented black shale samples from the Cambrian through the Jurassic. A La-Th-Sc ternary diagram distinguishes among contributions from the upper and bulk continental crust and the oceanic crust (Taylor and McLennan 1985). All the low-calcic black shales cluster within the region of the upper crust. Th-Hf-Co ternary diagrams also are commonly used to distinguish among the upper and bulk continental crust and the oceanic crust (Taylor and McLennan 1985). As Co is redox sensitive in black shale environments, it was necessary to substitute an immobile element (i.e. example Rb) in the diagram. With this substitution of black shales all cluster in the region of the upper continental crust. To determine the provenance of the granitic component (Pearce et al. 1984), plots of Ta vs Yb and Rb vs Yb + Ta shows a cluster at the junction of the boundaries separating the volcanic arc granite (VAG), syn-collision granite (syn-COLG), and within-plate granite (WPG) fields. The majority fall within the VAG field. There are no occurrences of ocean ridge granite (ORG). The minimal contribution of basalts to marine black shales is confirmed by the ternary Wood diagram Th-Hf/3-Ta (Wood et al. 1979). The black shales plot in a cluster in a high Th region outside the various basalt fields, which suggests contribution from the continental crust. 相似文献

大兴安岭中南段上二叠统林西组发育厚层的暗色泥页岩,是区域上重要的上古生界生烃层系之一。阿鲁科尔沁旗陶海营子剖面是林西组的典型剖面之一,本文以该剖面为研究对象,对取自该剖面林西组的10件砂、泥岩样品进行主量元素、微量元素和稀土元素测试分析。剖面样品元素分析和物源判别函数（F1-F2）、Ni-TiO2、La/Th-Hf图解判别结果表明,陶海营子剖面林西组沉积物来源多样,主要来源于上地壳长英质火成物源区和石英岩沉积物源区,还有少量来自中、基性岩火成物源区。剖面样品微量元素PAAS（后太古庙澳大利亚页岩）标准化蛛网图、稀土元素球粒陨石标准化配分模式图、K2O/Na2O-SiO2、Zr/Th、TiO2-（TFe2O3+MgO）图解、物源构造背景判别函数（F1-F2）''的分析判别和剖面样品与不同构造环境砂岩地球化学参数对比结果表明,陶海营子剖面林西组物源构造背景具有被动大陆边缘、活动大陆边缘和大陆岛弧特征,构造背景较复杂。综合分析可知,陶海营子剖面林西组物源主要为被动大陆边缘背景下的火成岩、石英质沉积岩,以及活动大陆边缘和大陆岛弧背景下的火成岩。结合前人相关研究成果,推测兴蒙造山带内伸展作用背景下的晚石炭世-二叠纪岩浆型被动陆缘沉积建造和与俯冲背景有关的古生代弧岩浆岩应该是陶海营子剖面林西组的主要物源。 相似文献

The four tectonic discrimination diagrams of Pearce et al. [Journal of Petrology, v. 25, p. 956–983] for granitic rocks were first evaluated using the literature cited by these authors as well as from our new database. The first diagram (Y?Nb) cannot discriminate volcanic-arc and collision settings. Both Y?Nb and Yb?Ta diagrams have an overlapping field for within-plate and ocean-ridge granitoids. The remaining two diagrams (Y?+?Nb?Rb and Yb?+?Ta?Rb) use a mobile element (Rb) in their y-axis. Although these diagrams successfully discriminate volcanic-arc and within-plate granites, they perform less well for collision tectonics. Besides, felsic or acid rocks are scarce in ocean-ridge settings, which limits the usefulness of these diagrams for this geological environment. Therefore, using an extensive database, we proposed a set of five new discriminant-function-based multi-dimensional diagrams for acid magmas from four tectonic settings (island arc, continental arc, continental rift, and collision). The very similar tectonic settings of island and continental arcs are discriminated for the first time. These diagrams are based on correct statistical treatment of compositional data, because they use natural logarithm transformation of major-element ratios and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The use of discordant outlier-free samples prior to LDA improved the success rates by about 3–5%. Success rates of these diagrams as inferred from a testing set were between 76% and 88% for island arc, 60% and 92% for continental arc, and 72% and 84% for both continental rift and collision settings. Finally, application of these new diagrams to case studies not compiled in our initial database used for constructing these diagrams provided the following results: a collision setting for the Himalayas at about 30 Ma; an island arc setting for Quaternary acid rocks from geothermal boreholes in El Salvador; an island- or continental-arc setting for northern Italy at 35–52 Ma; a continental-arc setting for the Italy–Austria border at about 30 Ma; either a rift or a collision setting for northern Nigeria at about 164 Ma; a collision setting for central Nigeria at about 144 Ma and for the Cretaceous Masirah ophiolites of Oman; and an island arc setting for the Cretaceous Semail ophiolites of Oman. In spite of the relative mobility of major elements, these applications suggest utility of the new discrimination diagrams for all four tectonic settings. 相似文献

Basalt geochemistry can be used as a diagnostic indicator for determining the tectonic setting of origin, because specific plate tectonic settings often impart distinctive geochemical characteristics. For example: (1) mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) and oceanic island basalts (OIB) have clearly distinguishable trace element and Sr-Nd isotope geochemical characteristics; (2) arc related basalts, including IOAB (intra-oceanic arc basalts), IAB (island arc basalts) and CAB (continental arc basalts), exhibit following distinguishing features: all are characterized by low Nb/La ratios (<0.85) and negative Nb, Ta and Ti anomalies; most exhibit low Nb concentrations (<8 ppm), high positive ɛNd values and low enrichment of incompatible elements except the continental arc shoshonitic basalts that possess high concentrations of incompatible trace elements and lower to negative ɛNd values; (3) although contamination by continental crust or lithosphere can impart subduction-like signature (e.g., low Nb, low Ta and low Ti) and lead to misidentification of contaminated continental intraplate basalts as arc related, there are still some essential differences between continental intraplate basalts and arc related ones; such as: uncontaminated continental intraplate basalts have high Nb concentrations, Nb/La > 1, “hump-shaped” OIB-like trace element patterns and moderate positive ɛNd values that distinguish them from the arc related ones; whereas, the contaminated continental intraplate basalts are characterized by pronounced negative Nb, Ta and Ti anomalies, but their concentrations of incompatible trace elements are conspicuously higher than those of subduction-zone basalts that also distinguishes them from the arc related ones; (4) an important difference between back-arc basin basalts (BABB) and the MORB is that the former exhibit both MORB-like and arc-like geochemical characteristics; (5) most oceanic plateau basalts (OPB) show diagnostic geochemical characteristics of enriched MORB (E-MORB) to transitional MORB (T-MORB); only the Kerguelen Plateau is an exception; the early (pre 90 Ma) volcanism of the Kerguelen Plateau is associated with the Early Cretaceous break-up of Gondwana and displays features of continental flood basaltic volcanism; with time, the tectonic setting of the Kerguelen plume-derived volcanism changed from a rifted continental margin setting (133–118 Ma) through a young, widening ocean (118–40 Ma), finally to an oceanic intraplate setting (~40 Ma to the present).Tectonic discrimination diagrams should not be used in isolation, but can still be useful as part of holistic geochemical characterization. For example: (1) MORB and OIB are distinguishable from each other in the 3Tb-Th-2Ta diagram; (2) the arc related basalts, including IOAB, IAB and CAB, constantly plot in the arc-related basalts fields in the Th/Yb-Ta/Yb diagram; (3) the 3Tb-Th-2Ta diagram can be utilized to fully illustrate both MORB-like and arc-like characteristics of BABB; (4) some discriminant diagrams (such as Zr/Y-Zr, Th/Yb-Ta/Yb, 3Tb-Th-2Ta and Hf/3-Th-Nb/16 diagrams) can be used to distinguish continental intra plate basalts from arc related ones; (5) although there are not any discrimination diagrams published that delineate an OPB field, some trace element diagrams can still reveal diagnostic characteristics of the OPB. 相似文献
