采用激光阶段加热⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar技术,对柴达木盆地北缘锡铁山榴辉岩退变质作用形成的榴闪岩和斜长角闪岩之角闪石进行了定年分析。09NQ44Amp来自榴闪岩,各阶段表观年龄(以现代空气氩⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar比值295.5扣除非放射性成因⁴⁰Ar)构成了单调下降的阶梯状年龄谱。在反等时线图解上,2~4阶段数据点和5~18阶段数据点分别构成了两条等时线,等时年龄分别为427.6±10Ma和425.1±2.6Ma,对应的初始⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar比值则分别为435.2±6.1和705.3±13。角闪石09NQ43Amp来自榴辉岩强烈退变质作用形成的斜长角闪岩,⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar阶段加热分析也获得单调下降的年龄谱,在反等时线图解上其数据点3~6阶段和7~16阶段分别构成了两条等时线,等时年龄分别为418.9±2.9Ma和418.1±2.1Ma,对应的初始⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar比值则分别为493.7±2.8和685.8±34.3。等时线截距值高于现代大气⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar比值,表明角闪石中含过剩⁴⁰Ar。同时,由低温和中-高温阶段加热数据点分别构成两条等时年龄基本一致,截距值却明显不同的等时线,表明在角闪石热力学性质不同的源区,存在两期明显不同且未混合的初始捕获Ar组分。等时年龄425~418Ma代表的是锡铁山榴辉岩角闪岩相退变质作用发生的时间。等时线图解法虽然有效的校正了角闪石中的过剩⁴⁰Ar,但仅根据表观年龄图谱和等时线图谱还无法清晰判断过剩⁴⁰Ar在角闪石中的赋存状态,有待进一步探讨。  相似文献   

有效全岩成分的计算方法及其在变质相平衡模拟中的应用     

田作林  张泽明  董昕 《岩石学报》2020,36(9):2616-2630

变质相平衡模拟是变质岩领域近几十年最重要的进展之一，它已经成为确定变质作用P-T-t轨迹和探索变质演化过程的有力工具。变质岩的矿物组合不但与其形成的温度（T）和压力（P）条件有关，而且受控于岩石的全岩成分（X）。但是变质岩通常是不均匀的并且往往保留两期以上的矿物组合，因此计算不同成分域或不同变质演化期次的有效全岩成分是模拟P-T视剖面图的核心问题之一。在中-低温变质岩中，石榴石变斑晶的生长会不断地将其核部成分"冻结"而不参与后续变质反应，这导致根据实测全岩成分计算的P-T视剖面图无法有效地模拟石榴石幔部或边部生长阶段的变质演化过程。"瑞利分馏法"和"球体积法"利用电子探针实测的石榴石成分环带可以模拟计算石榴石各个生长阶段所对应的有效全岩成分，本文推荐使用这两个方法来处理石榴石变斑晶的分馏效应问题。相比较而言，石榴石在高温变质岩中通常无法保留生长阶段的成分环带特征，这是因为石榴石成分在高温条件下会发生扩散再平衡，并同时与多数基质矿物达到热力学平衡，这时一般不需要考虑石榴石的分馏效应。但是高温变质岩通常会发生部分熔融并伴随熔体的迁移，进而改变岩石的有效全岩成分。因此，通过P-T视剖面图模拟熔体迁移前后的变质演化过程需要使用"相平衡法"计算迁移的熔体成分以及熔体迁移前后岩石的有效全岩成分。此外，后成合晶与反应边是变质岩中最常见的退变质反应结构，但是后成合晶或反应边中的矿物之间并未达到热力学平衡。这种情况需要结合岩相学观察和矿物成分，利用最小二乘法确定后成合晶或反应边中发生的平衡反应方程式，进而获取变质反应发生时的有效全岩成分并通过计算P-T视剖面图来估算退变质的温压条件。除此之外，岩石体系中三价铁（Fe₂O₃）和H₂O含量的估算一直以来都是相平衡模拟研究中的难点，本文推荐使用P/T-X（Fe³⁺/Fe^tot，MH₂O）视剖面图来确定这两个组分的含量，这是因为P/T-X图可以估算各个变质演化阶段或特定矿物组合的Fe₂O₃或H₂O含量。  相似文献   

矿物之间的元素和同位素平衡:地质测温和等时线定年的热力学和动力学控制   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

在特定的地质事件过程中,矿物等时线放射体系是否达到并且保持了平衡是变质岩Sm-Nd和Rb-Sr同位素年代学中的一个重要问题。在这个问题上矿物对O同位素测温与矿物等时线定年相似,因此两者之间可以相互制约。在岩浆岩和变质岩中,矿物中Sm-Nd、Sr和O之间的扩散速率在无水的条件下一般具有可比性,因此矿物之间O同位素的平衡状态可以用来对Sm-Nd和Rb-Sr定年的有效性进行检验。对大别-苏鲁造山带超高压变质岩的Sm-Nd和Rb-Sr等时线矿物进行O同位素测温,得到Sm-Nd等时线有时给出三叠纪年龄,有时给出非三叠纪年龄;对应的矿物O同位素分馏分别处于平衡和不平衡状态。对于引起非三叠纪等时线年龄的原因,一方面可以是由于榴辉岩相变质过程中同位素体系没有达到平衡,另一方面则可能角闪岩相退变质作用打破了平衡。等时线矿物中初始同位素比值的均一化速率主要受慢扩散矿物的影响,而矿物等时线时钟的启动主要受高母/子比值矿物控制。因此在变质作用过程中,只有当高母/子比值矿物同时具有快的放射成因同位素扩散速率,才可能得到有效的矿物等时线来用于变质年龄的测定。根据不同矿物中不同元素在扩散速率上的差异,能够定量估计大陆碰撞过程中榴辉岩相变质的持续时间。应用增量方法和离子孔隙度经验模型,不仅分别能够从理论上准确计算所有固体矿物的氧同位素分馏系数和获得不同矿物中元素的扩散参数,而且分别能够定量预测热力学平衡条件下共生矿物之间的¹⁸O富集顺序和相同条件下矿物中元素扩散速率的相对快慢。  相似文献

青藏高原冈底斯地块东南部的德玛拉岩群为一套角闪岩相变质岩系,一直被认为是前寒武纪变质基底,但并没有可靠的年代学证据。论文对采自其中的黑云角闪片岩和黑云母石英片岩进行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年和黑云母³⁹Ar-⁴⁰Ar定年,测试表明,黑云角闪片岩原岩锆石U-Pb年龄为217.1Ma,由黑云母³⁹Ar-⁴⁰Ar获得的变质年龄为22.3Ma,黑云母石英片岩中碎屑锆石主要为岩浆成因,年龄范围主要集中在520~600Ma和900~1100Ma,黑云母³⁹Ar-⁴⁰Ar变质年龄为16.3Ma和22.3Ma。上述结果虽不能完全否定西藏东南部察隅地区前寒武纪基底变质岩系的存在,但至少说明现今的德玛拉岩群中还包含有遭受中生代岩浆侵入的古生代沉积岩,它们在新生代经历了变质和岩浆作用的再造,是一套变质杂岩。  相似文献

位于新疆东准噶尔的贝勒库都克锡矿带是我国北方地区首次发现具独立锡矿床的锡成矿带。该成矿带自东向西发育萨惹什克、贝勒库都克、干梁子、卡姆斯特4个独立锡矿床。它们在主要矿石类型、脉石矿物组成上表现为两类。萨惹什克锡矿属于石英型,占优势的脉石矿物是石英,其次有长石,而白云母很不发育。其它3个锡矿则以云英岩型为特征,主要脉石矿物是石英和长石,次要矿物有白云母。本文报道了我们对发育白云母的卡姆斯特、干梁子、贝勒库都克锡矿床开展矿石⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar同位素定年的结果。3件与锡石平衡共生的白云母有很平坦的年龄谱,其⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar-³⁹Ar/³⁶Ar正等时线年龄与各自的坪年龄很一致,年龄值范围是305~315Ma。这些结果和我们已报道的萨惹什克锡矿的Re-Os等时线年龄一起,确定了全部4个锡矿床的成矿年龄,并证实它们构成一个锡成矿带。此外,锡矿石与花岗岩围岩年龄的一致性表明了研究区锡成矿与花岗岩浆作用间很可能存在成因关系。  相似文献

宽坪岩群位于北秦岭造山带,主要由广东坪岩组斜长角闪岩、四岔口岩组云母石英片岩及谢湾岩组的大理岩组成。通过LA-MC-ICPMS锆石U-Pb测年研究,宽坪岩群谢湾岩组碎屑锆石年龄为400~3502 Ma,其中最年轻一组的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄在380~418 Ma,结合黑云母⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar（370.9±2.0）Ma的变质年龄,表明谢湾岩组形成在晚泥盆世。四岔口岩组碎屑锆石年龄介于512~3598 Ma,最年轻的一组锆石²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄在512~549 Ma,其黑云母⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar变质年龄为（370.4±1.8）Ma,表明该组形成于512 Ma（早寒武世）之后,晚泥盆世之前,主体很可能形成于早古生代。宽坪岩群是由不同时代的地层和岩片构成,应该进一步解体。宽坪岩群物源来自华北陆块、秦岭造山带和扬子陆块。其变形变质时代为晚泥盆世,代表了北秦岭造山带碰撞造山的结束时代。  相似文献

内蒙古大青山呼和浩特段北侧发育3条走向北东东、指向北西的逆冲断层,并与被其分割的3个逆冲席体及一个原地系构成大青山逆冲推覆体系。逆冲断层上盘底部发育较深层次的糜棱岩,下盘顶部多发育低温的千糜岩。本研究在构造地质调查基础上,结合宏-微观岩石矿物学分析,采用⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar定年对该逆冲体系的活动时间进行约束。逆冲断层带内3个千糜岩绢云母⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar年龄范围为120~119Ma,另一样品给出了120Ma的概率统计峰值年龄。千糜岩为低温同变形变质产物,细粒绢云母为同变形新生矿物,其⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar年龄可代表变形年龄。侵位在断层内弱变形的花岗闪长岩为同构造晚期侵位,角闪石⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar年龄限定其冷却时间下限为121Ma,概率统计峰值年龄为119Ma。逆冲断层上盘底部发育较高温的糜棱岩,而低温千糜岩的形成时间应属于变形后期。因此,120Ma至119Ma期间,大青山逆冲推覆体系的逆冲作用应已是处于变形晚期。  相似文献   

氧同位素在岩石成因研究的新进展   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

通过氧同位素分析可以对岩石的成因进行认识,使之成为岩石学研究的一个强有力工具。根据花岗岩的氧同位素高低可以判断其来源于变沉积岩还是变火成岩;对于一个复式岩体,如果不同期次岩石的氧同位素组成存在明显变化,可以有效地判断该岩浆在演化过程中存在不同来源物质的混染,因为岩浆从镁铁质成分向长英质成分的化学分异过程,不会引起明显的氧同位素分馏,分馏值一般不超过0.3‰。氧同位素分析手段从常规BrF₅法,到激光探针BrF₅法,再到离子探针分析法,对岩石矿物样品从全熔分析到微区分析的发展,显示了它们的发展历程和各自的优势及应用范围。本文介绍了氧同位素的不同分析方法,以花岗岩(流纹岩)和变质岩的研究为例阐述了氧同位素分析技术的发展。苏州花岗岩利用全岩和造岩矿物常规氧同位素分析方法得出其为低δ¹⁸O和正常δ¹⁸O岩浆成因的不同认识,近年通过锆石激光氧同位素分析技术,获得岩浆锆石的δ¹⁸O平均为4.92‰,证实其来源于壳源的低δ¹⁸O岩浆。类似地,利用全岩和造岩矿物常规氧同位素分析方法得出的观点难以解释美国黄石高原低δ¹⁸O流纹岩中矿物颗粒间和颗粒内部的氧同位素变化,该氧同位素变化只能通过离子探针矿物微区原位分析得出。在变质岩研究方面,通过激光探针氧同位素分析,人们普遍认为苏鲁造山带变质岩极负的δ¹⁸O值是在新元古代原岩形成时获得的,但是最新的离子探针锆石原位氧同位素分析表明苏鲁造山带变质岩极负的δ¹⁸O主要是在三叠纪超高压变质作用过程中获得的。今后单颗粒矿物尺度上的氧同位素组成分布规律将是氧同位素研究的发展方向。  相似文献   

东喜马拉雅构造结气候构造作用下热史演化的⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar年代学记录

以喜马拉雅山系为典型实例,究竟是气候作用还是构造作用引起山体隆升的问题已经成为地球系统科学研究中的重要前沿问题。无论是气候因素还是构造因素引起山体隆升,二者都与一个共同的地表过程——剥蚀作用相关,剥蚀作用对山体中地质体的影响可以用岩石矿物经历的热史演化来描述,所以,在造山作用研究中,山体或山脉的热史演化是揭开地质体经历地质过程、山体隆升研究的重要途径。利用河砂组成矿物来研究流域的地质过程和构造演化已经成为现代地质科学的重要手段。本文采集了雅鲁藏布江下游墨脱县以南约50 km处地东河段内的现代河砂,对其中的角闪石、白云母、黑云母及钾长石等四种矿物进行了高精度单颗粒激光⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar年代学测试,并进行了概率统计。地东河段河砂中富钾矿物⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar年代学统计结果显示,大峡谷流域的热史演化可以确定有多个阶段,分别可以识别出70~69、61~60、43~42、35~34、26~25、25~23、22~20、20~18、17~14、12~11、8~6、5~4及<2Ma等13个热史演化阶段。通过将上述热史信息与印度大陆与欧亚大陆碰撞角度和碰撞速率变化曲线的对比,可以确定70~69、61~60、43~42、35~34、22~20和12~11Ma等6个阶段的年代学信息是两大陆碰撞角度和碰撞速率变化事件在东喜马拉雅构造结热史上的记录;通过与全球深海氧、碳同位素记录曲线的对比,可以认为26~25、25~23、17~14、8~6、5~4和<2Ma等6个阶段的年代学信息是气候变化在东喜马拉雅构造结热史上的记录。东喜马拉雅构造结地质体热史演化是构造与气候相互作用的结果。  相似文献   

Sm/Nd,Rb/Sr,and 40Ar/39Ar Isotopic Systematics of the Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphic Rocks in the Dabie-Sulu Belt,Central China: A Retrospective View     

《International Geology Review》2012,54(12):1114-1124

Because of a complicated metamorphic history, the isotopic systematics of the ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks in the Dabie-Sulu belt, east China, appear to be rather different from what were expected. Depending on the degree of retrograde metamorphism and on the retentivity of isotopes, the radiogenic isotopic systematics in the UHP metamorphic rocks yielded a wide range of radiometric ages. Some of these ages are geologically meaningful, but others may not be. In some fine-grained UHP metamorphic rocks, Sm/Nd isotopic systematics appear to be in equilibrium among the UHP phases, showing the best estimate for the age of peak metamorphism at 226 ± 3 Ma. On the other hand, retrograde overprinting often makes the interpretation of isotopic data more difficult. It is common to find that the Sm/Nd and Rb/Sr isotopic systematics among the UHP phases and retrograde phases are not in equilibrium. Regression of isotopic data involving both UHP and retrograde minerals in isotopic correlation diagrams often yields geologically meaningless ages. Although ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of UHP metamorphic rocks has been reported not to be very helpful in establishing the thermal history because of the presence of excess argon, a good correlation between excess argon and rock type in the Dabie-Sulu belt would provide a criterion in identifying the possible sources of excess argon. By taking all the possible effects into consideration, a T-t path with two rapid cooling stages for UHP metamorphic rocks from the Dabie-Sulu belt can be postulated. An initial rapid cooling stage in the period from 226 to 219 Ma may have resulted from rapid exhumation of UHP metamorphic rocks immediately after the peak metamorphism. The second rapid cooling stage, from 450°C to 300°C, may have been caused by the exhumation of the entire terrane, including UHP metamorphic units and their host gneisses, during the period from 180 to 167 Ma.  相似文献   

超高压变质岩的放射性同位素体系及年代学方法     

李曙光侯振辉  李秋立 《岩石学报》2005,21(4):1229-1242

深刻理解同位素在超高压变质及退变质过程中的地球化学行为对获得超高压变质岩准确并有明确意义的年龄值是非常重要的。对 Sm-Nd,Rb-Sr 同位素体系,只有变质矿物同位素体系达到平衡才能给出精确有意义的等时线年龄。研究表明,与副变质岩互层的细粒榴辉岩的高压变质矿物之间,或者强退变质岩石的退变质矿物之间,其 Nd,Sr 同位素可以达到平衡;然而高压变质矿物与退变质矿物之间 Nd,Sr 同位素不平衡。由于全岩样品总是含有数量不等的退变质矿物,因此石榴石 全岩 Sm-Nd 法或多硅白云母 全岩 Rh-Sr 法将有可能给出无地质意义的年龄。通常低温榴辉岩的高压变质矿物之间存在Nd 同位素不平衡。超高压变质岩多硅白云母所含过剩 Ar 主要源于榴辉岩原岩中角闪石在变质分解时释放出来的放射成因 Ar。因此,不含榴辉岩的花岗片麻岩多硅白云母基本不含过剩 Ar。对变质锆石成因的准确判断是正确理解锆石 U-Ph 年龄意义的关键。本文对不同成因锆石的判别标志及年龄意义做了总结,并指出将阴极发光图形,锆石痕量元素组成及矿物包裹体鉴定相结合是进行锆石成因鉴定的有效方法。高压变质或退变质增生锆石组成单一,是理想变质定年对象。然而变质重结晶锆石域常是重结晶锆石和继承晶质锆石的混合区,因而给出混合年龄。只有完全变质重结晶锆石才能给出准确变质时代。  相似文献   

Metamorphic evolution of the Attic Cycladic Metamorphic Belt on Naxos (Cyclades, Greece) utilizing ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age spectrum measurements     

J.R. WIJBRANS  I. McDOUGALL 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》1988,6(5):571-594

Abstract ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age spectrum analysis of phengite separates from Naxos, part of the Attic Cycladic Metamorphic Belt in Greece, indicates that cooling following high-pressure, low- to medium-temperature metamorphism, M₁, occurred about 50 Ma ago. Phengite has ⁴⁰Ar* gradients that suggest that part of the scatter observed in conventional K–Ar ages was caused by diffusion of radiogenic argon from the minerals during a younger metamorphism, M₂. In central Naxos, this metamorphism (M₂) has overprinted the original mineral assemblages completely, and is associated with development of a thermal dome. Excellent ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateaus at 15.0 ± 0.1 Ma, 11.8 ± 0.1 Ma, and 11.4 ± 0.1 Ma, obtained on hornblende, muscovite and biotite, respectively, from the migmatite zone, indicate that relatively rapid cooling followed the M₂ event, and that no significant thermal overprinting occurred subsequent to M₂. Toward lower M₂ metamorphic grade, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau ages of hornblendes increase to 19.8 ± 0.1 Ma; concomitantly the proportion of excess ⁴⁰Ar in the spectra increases as well. We propose that the peak of M₂ metamorphism occurred beween 15.0 and 19.8 Ma ago. K–Ar ages of biotites from a granodiorite on the west coast are indistinguishable from those found in the metamorphic complex, and hornblende K–Ar ages from the same samples are in the range 12.1–13.6 Ma. As the latter ages are somewhat younger than most ages obtained from the metamorphic complex, intrusion of the granodiorite most likely followed the peak of the M₂ metamorphism. The metamorphic evolution of Naxos is consistent with rapid crustal thickening during the Cretaceous or early Tertiary, causing conditions at which supracrustal rocks experienced pressures in the range 900–1500 MPa. Transition to normal crustal thicknesses ended the M₁ metamorphism about 50 Ma ago. The M₂ metamorphism and granodiorite intrusion occurred during a period of heat input into the crust, possibly related to the migration of the Hellenic volcanic ar°C in a southerly direction through the area.  相似文献   

Evidence for excess argon during high pressure metamorphism in the dora maira massif (Western Alps,Italy), using an ultra-violet laser ablation microprobe 40Ar-39Ar technique     

N. O. Arnaud  S. P. Kelley 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1995,121(1):1-11

 Ultra-high pressure eclogite/amphibolite grade metamorphism of the Dora Maira Massif in the western Alps is a well established and intensively studied event. However, the age of peak metamorphism and early cooling remains controversial. The ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar step-heating and laser spot ages from high pressure phengites yield plateau ages as old as 110 Ma which have been interpreted as the time of early cooling after the high pressure event. Recent U/Pb and Sm/Nd results challenge this assertion, indicating a much younger age for the event, around 45 Ma, and hence a radically different timing for the tectonic evolution of the western Alps. In a new approach to the problem, samples from the undeformed Hercynian metagranite, Brossasco, were studied using an ultra-violet laser ablation microprobe technique for ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar dating. The new technique allowed selective in situ analysis, at a spatial resolution of 50 μm, of quartz, phengite, biotite and K-feldspar. The results demonstrate the frequent occurrence of excess argon with high ⁴⁰Ar-³⁶Ar ratios (1000–10000) and a strong relationship between apparent ages and metamorphic textures. The highest excess argon ratios are always associated with high closure temperature minerals or large diffusion domains within single mineral phases. The best interpretation of this relationship seems to be that excess argon was incorporated in all phases during the high pressure event, then mixed with an atmospheric component during rapid cooling and retrogression, producing a wide range of argon concentrations and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar ratios. Step-heating analysis of minerals with this mixture would produce linear arrays on a ³⁶Ar/⁴⁰Ar versus ³⁹Ar/⁴⁰Ar correlation diagram, leading to geologically meaningless plateau ages, older than the true closure age. In the present case, some ages in the range 60–110 Ma could be explained by the presence of excess argon incorporated around 40–50 Ma ago. Similar results found in other high pressure terrains in the Alps may reconcile the argon geochronometer with other systems such as Rb/Sr, U/Pb or Sm/Nd. This study therefore calls for an increasing use of high resolution in situ sampling techniques to clarify the meaning of ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages in many high pressure terrains.

Influence of dissolution/reprecipitation reactions on metamorphic greenschist to amphibolite facies mica 40Ar/39Ar ages in the Longmen Shan (eastern Tibet)          下载免费PDF全文

Laura Airaghi  Clare J. Warren  Julia de Sigoyer  Pierre Lanari  Valérie Magnin 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》2018,36(7):933-958

Linking ages to metamorphic stages in rocks that have experienced low‐ to medium‐grade metamorphism can be particularly tricky due to the rarity of index minerals and the preservation of mineral or compositional relicts. The timing of metamorphism and the Mesozoic exhumation of the metasedimentary units and crystalline basement that form the internal part of the Longmen Shan (eastern Tibet, Sichuan, China), are, for these reasons, still largely unconstrained, but crucial for understanding the regional tectonic evolution of eastern Tibet. In situ core‐rim ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar biotite and U–Th/Pb allanite data show that amphibolite facies conditions (~10–11 kbar, 530°C to 6–7 kbar, 580°C) were reached at 210–180 Ma and that biotite records crystallization, rather than cooling, ages. These conditions are mainly recorded in the metasedimentary cover. The ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages obtained from matrix muscovite that partially re‐equilibrated during the post peak‐P metamorphic history comprise a mixture of ages between that of early prograde muscovite relicts and the timing of late muscovite recrystallization at c. 140–120 Ma. This event marks a previously poorly documented greenschist facies metamorphic overprint. This latest stage is also recorded in the crystalline basement, and defines the timing of the greenschist overprint (7 ± 1 kbar, 370 ± 35°C). Numerical models of Ar diffusion show that the difference between ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar biotite and muscovite ages cannot be explained by a slow and protracted cooling in an open system. The model and petrological results rather suggest that biotite and muscovite experienced different Ar retention and resetting histories. The Ar record in mica of the studied low‐ to medium‐grade rocks seems to be mainly controlled by dissolution–reprecipitation processes rather than by diffusive loss, and by different microstructural positions in the sample. Together, our data show that the metasedimentary cover was thickened and cooled independently from the basement prior to c. 140 Ma (with a relatively fast cooling at 4.5 ± 0.5°C/Ma between 185 and 140 Ma). Since the Lower Cretaceous, the metasedimentary cover and the crystalline basement experienced a coherent history during which both were partially exhumed. The Mesozoic history of the Eastern border of the Tibetan plateau is therefore complex and polyphase, and the basement was actively involved at least since the Early Cretaceous, changing our perspective on the contribution of the Cenozoic geology.  相似文献   

⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar and oxygen isotope studies of polymetamorphism from Tinos Island, Cycladic blueschist belt, Greece     

M. BRÖCKER  H. KREUZER  A. MATTHEWS  M. OKRUSCH 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》1993,11(2):223-240

Abstract Petrological, oxygen isotope and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar studies were used to constrain the Tertiary metamorphic evolution of the lower tectonic unit of the Cyclades on Tinos. Polyphase high-pressure metamorphism reached pressures in excess of 15 kbar, based on measurements of the Si content in potassic white mica. Temperatures of 450–500° C at the thermal peak of high-pressure metamorphism were estimated from critical metamorphic assemblages, the validity of which is confirmed by a quartz–magnetite oxygen isotope temperature of 470° C. Some ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar spectra of white mica give plateau ages of 44–40 Ma that are considered to represent dynamic recrystallization under peak or slightly post-peak high-pressure metamorphic conditions. Early stages in the prograde high-pressure evolution may be documented by older apparent ages in the high-temperature steps of some spectra. Eclogite to epidote blueschist facies mineralogies were partially or totally replaced by retrograde greenschist facies assemblages during exhumation. Oxygen isotope thermometry of four quartz–magnetite pairs from greenschist samples gives temperatures of 440–470° C which cannot be distinguished from those deduced for the high-pressure event. The exhumation and overprint is documented by decreasing ages of 32–28 Ma in some greenschists and late-stage blueschist rocks, and ages of 30–20 Ma in the lower temperature steps of the Ar release patterns of blueschist micas. Almost flat parts of Ar–Ar release spectra of some greenschist micas gave ages of 23–21 Ma which are assumed to represent incomplete resetting caused by a renewed prograde phase of greenschist metamorphism. Oxygen isotope compositions of blueschist and greenschist facies minerals show no evidence for the infiltration of a δ¹⁸O-enriched fluid. Rather, the compositions indicate that fluid to rock ratios were very low, the isotopic compositions being primarily controlled by those of the protolith rocks. We assume that the fundamental control catalysing the transformation of blueschists into greenschists and the associated resetting of their isotopic systems was the selective infiltration of metamorphic fluid. A quartz–magnetite sample from a contact metamorphic skarn, taken near the Miocene monzogranite of Tinos, gave an oxygen isotope temperature of 555° C and calculated water composition of 9.1%. The value of δ¹⁸O obtained from this water is consistent with a primary magmatic fluid, but is lower than that of fluids associated with the greenschist overprint, which indicates that the latter event cannot be directly related to the monozogranite intrusion.  相似文献   

The Belomorian eclogite province: sequence of events and age of the igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Gridino association

Within the Belomorian eclogite province, near Gridino Village, rocks of different compositions (tonalite-trondhjemite-granodioritic gneisses, granites, mafic and ultramafic rocks) were metamorphosed. The metamorphism included subsidence with increasing pressure and temperature, an eclogite stage, decompression in the granulitic facies, and a retrograde stage in the amphibolitic facies. We attempted to characterize the succession and to date igneous and metamorphic events in the evolution of the Gridino eclogite association. For this purpose, we conducted the following studies: U–Pb isotope dating of zircon (conventional and SHRIMP II methods) from gneisses, a mafic dike, and a high-pressure granitic leucosome; U–Pb dating of rutile from mafic dikes; ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of amphibole and mica; and Sm–Nd studies of rocks and minerals. The Sm–Nd model ages of felsic (2.9–3.1 Ga) and mafic (3.0–3.4 Ga) rocks from the Gridino eclogite association and individual magmatic zircon grains with an age of ca. 3.0 Ga indicate the Mesoarchean age of the metamorphic-rock protoliths. The most reliable result is the upper age bound of eclogitic metamorphism (2.71 Ga), which reflects the time of the posteclogitic decompression melting of eclogitized rocks under high-pressure retrograde granulitic metamorphism. The mafic dikes formed from 2.82 Ga to 2.72 Ga, most probably, at 2.82 Ga, in accordance with the crystallization age of magmatic zircon from metagabbro. Superimposed amphibolitic metamorphism and the “final” exhumation of metamorphic complexes at 2.0–1.9 Ga are associated with the later Svecofennian tectonometamorphic stage. Successive cooling of the metamorphic associations to 300 °C at 1.9–1.7 Ga is shown by U–Pb rutile dating and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar mica dating.  相似文献   

40Ar‐39Ar and K‐Ar age constraints on the Early Proterozoic Tennant Creek Block,northern Australia,and the age of its gold deposits∗     

D. M. Compston  I. McDougall 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(6):609-616

⁴⁰Ar‐³⁹Ar age spectra on minerals from granitic, metamorphic and hydrothermal rocks confirm that the Early Proterozoic Tennant Creek Block was affected by two thermal events during its evolution. Although extensive alteration of biotite and feldspar within the granites precludes the direct determination of their cooling history, ⁴⁰Ar‐³⁹Ar analyses for hydrothermal muscovite from several nearby gold‐copper deposits indicate that regional cooling to below ～ 300°C was not prolonged. Flat, uniform muscovite age spectra were obtained from gold deposits east of the Tennant Creek town site and indicate a minimum age of 1825–1830 Ma for their formation. These ages are within error of those for the felsic volcanism of the Flynn Subgroup, and a genetic relationship between the two may exist. Samples from gold deposits elsewhere in the area indicate disturbance of the K‐Ar isotope system. The second thermal event to affect the region occurred at around 1700 Ma, and is confirmed by the ⁴⁰Ar‐³⁹Ar muscovite ages for the ‘Warrego’ granite (1677 ± 4 Ma) and for the metamorphism of the Wundirgi Formation (1696 ± 4 Ma).  相似文献   

Geologic and geochronologic data from the Guerrero terrane in the Tejupilco area,southern Mexico: new constraints on its tectonic interpretation     

《Journal of South American Earth Sciences》2000,13(4-5):355-375

The eastern part of the Guerrero terrane contains two tectonically juxtaposed metavolcanic-sedimentary sequences with island arc affinities: the lower, Tejupilco metamorphic suite, is intensely deformed with greenschist facies metamorphism; the upper, Arcelia-Palmar Chico group, is mildly to moderately deformed with prehnite-pumpellyite facies metamorphism. A U–Pb zircon age of 186 Ma for the Tizapa metagranite, and Pb/Pb isotopic model ages of 227 and 188 Ma for the conformable syngenetic Tizapa massive sulfide deposit, suggest a Late Triassic–Early Jurassic age for the Tejupilco metamorphic suite. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar and K–Ar age determinations of metamorphic minerals from different units of the Tejupilco metamorphic suite in the Tejupilco area date a local early Eocene thermal event related to the emplacement of the undeformed Temascaltepec granite. The regional metamorphism remains to be dated. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages of 103 and 93 Ma for submarine volcanics support an Albian–Cenomanian age for the Arcelia-Palmar Chico group, although it may extend to the Berriasian. U–Pb isotopic analyses of zircon from the Tizapa metagranite, together with Nd isotopic data, reveal inherited Precambrian zircon components within units of the Tejupilco metamorphic suite, precluding the generation of Tejupilco metamorphic suite magmas from mantle- or oceanic lithosphere-derived melts, as was previously considered to be the case. Instead, these data, together with high-grade gneiss xenoliths with Grenvillian Nd isotopic affinity in Oligocene subvolcanics, indicate the presence of pre-Mesozoic continental crust beneath at least the eastern part of the Guerrero terrane. As a Late Triassic–Early Jurassic basement unit in the eastern part of the Guerrero terrane, the Tejupilco metamorphic suite may therefore represent an evolved volcanic arc developed on old crust with assimilated craton-derived sediment. This would imply a tectonic cycle of deformation, metamorphism and erosion during the Middle–early Late Jurassic that was probably related to the accretion and consolidation of part of the Guerrero terrane into the Acatlán Complex, the pre-Mississippian poly-deformed and metamorphosed basement of the Mixteco terrane.  相似文献
