The Bohemian Massif, located at the eastern margin of the European Variscan belt, is characterised by an exceptional accumulation of felsic high-pressure granulites. The petrological, structural and geochronological studies of this region revealed systematic differences between the tectonometamorphic evolution of the southern (Moldanubian) and northern (West Sudetes) parts of the orogen. Two contrasting tectonic scenarios have been proposed: gravity-driven vertical mass exchanges followed by continental indentation in the Moldanubian domain, and crustal-scale folding leading to gneiss dome formation in the West Sudetes. We present a numerical model in order to correlate the apparent differences between these two regions with the variations in the dynamics of the modelled system. We model two colliding blocks: an orogenic root, where a felsic lower crust is overlain by a mafic layer and a middle crust, and a continental indentor. We examine the role of the rate of convergence of the two blocks, radiogenic heat production within the felsic lower crust and efficiency of erosion. The prograde part of the metamorphic evolution is controlled by the rate of convergence and the peak temperature depends on the heat production. The retrograde evolution is controlled mostly by erosional processes. In the models, where the material is weakened due to the heating in the felsic lower crust, the gravitational instability of the mafic and felsic layers causes their complete vertical exchange followed by a flow above the indentor. In colder and/or faster models, the thickening is dominated by the buckling of the mafic layer. These two styles of deformation, i.e. gravity-dominated and fold-dominated models, correspond to the structures observed in the Moldanubian and the West Sudetes. Moreover, the calculated pressure–temperature paths of the felsic lower crust are in agreement with available data.  相似文献

We report U–Pb single zircon ages from three pre-Variscan granitoids in the NE part of the Bohemian Massif. The Platerówka granodiorite from the Lausitz-Izera Unit, the Polish Sudetes, has been dated at 533±9 Ma. The Bitouchov granite form the SW part of the South Krkonoe Unit, the Czech Sudetes, gave an age of 540+11/–10 Ma, and the Wdroe granodiorite in the Fore-Sudetic Block yielded 548±9 Ma. All these latest Vendian/Early Cambrian granitoids represent the post-tectonic expression of a late Proterozoic Cadomian orogenic cycle and demonstrate the eastward extent of the Cadomian basement into the Variscan orogen. Granodiorites of similar age have so far been reported from Brittany and especially from the Saxo-Thuringian Terrane to the NE and SW of the Elbe Fault Zone. We conclude that the Saxo-Thuringian Terrane extends across the Elbe and Sudetic Marginal Fault Zones into the Fore-Sudetic Block.  相似文献

The Qinling orogenic belt is a collision zone between the North China andYangtze cratons.The Qinling Complex is a Precambrian metamorphic com-plex,developed in the inner zone of the orogenic belt,which records themetamorphic and deformational history and PTt path of the regional meta-morphism of the collision zone.The present paper studies the metamor-phic and deformational history and the PTt path of various tectono-metamorphic cycles in order to describe the geodynamic processes prevailing inthat part of the Qinling orogenic belt since Proterozoic.The tectonometamorphic history and evolution of the Qinling Complex isdivided into two stages:the stage of formation and the stage of modificationDuring the stage of formation dated as Proterozoic,three deformational se-quences are recognized.The amphibolite facies regional metamorphism is earlierthan or synchronous with the first or second phase of folding.Threemetamorphic zones,i.e.And-Ms,Sil-Ms,Sil-Kfs are delimited.During thestage of modification,the emp  相似文献

SHRIMP dating of detrital zircons from sandstones of the Gackowa Formation (Kaczawa Complex, Sudetes, SW Poland) indicates input from late (550–750 Ma) and early Proterozoic to Archaean sources (∼2.0–3.4 Ga, the latter being the oldest recorded age from the Sudetic region). These dates preclude within-terrane derivation from seemingly correlatory acid volcanic rocks of early Palaeozoic age. Rather, they indicate provenance from Cadomian and older rocks that currently form part of other, geographically distant terranes; the most likely source identified to date is the Lusatian Block in the Saxothuringian Zone. Hence, the Gackowa Formation may be late Proterozoic rather than early Palaeozoic in depositional age, possibly coeval with the late Proterozoic (pre-Cadomian) greywackes of Lusatia, being subsequently tectonically interleaved with early Palaeozoic volcanic rocks into the Kaczawa accretionary prism during the Variscan orogeny. However, correlation with the lithologically similar early Ordovician Dubrau Quartzite of Saxothuringia, and so assignation to the early Paleozoic (post-Cadomian) rift succession deposited at the northern margin of Gondwana, cannot yet be precluded.  相似文献

Abstract The metamorphic history and tectonic evolution of the Qinling Complex is divided into formation and modification stages. During the Proterozoic formation stage, three deformational sequences are recognized. Andalusite–muscovite, sillimanite–muscovite and sillimanite–K-feldspar zones of amphibolite facies regional metamorphism are earlier than, or synchronous with the first or second phase of folding. Ductile shear zones were formed and Caledonian granites were emplaced during the modification stage. The granites superimposed contact aureoles (garnet–K-feldspar zone) on the regional metamorphic fabric.
Metamorphic reactions, P–T conditions of metamorphism and P–T–t paths were estimated by analysis of mineral textures and standard thermobarometric techniques. The P–T–t path of the Proterozoic tectonometamorphic cycle shows prominent clockwise decompression. The P–T–t path of the Caledonian tectonometamorphic cycle is characterized by an early rise of pressure and temperature, followed by isothermal decompression (rapid uplift) and finally with isobaric cooling.
The P–T–t paths of the two tectonometamorphic cycles reflect two major stages of collision and uplift in the evolution of the Qinling orogenic belt during the Proterozoic and Caledonian–Hercynian periods, respectively.  相似文献

Concentrations of arsenic and its geochemically associated elements, Ag, Co, Cu and Ni, were measured together with Al, Ba, Cd, Fe, Mn, Pb, Sr and Zn in aquatic bryophytes. These bryophytes originated from some of the arsenic mineralization zones of the Klodzko-Zloty Stok granodiorite massif and its metamorphic envelope (Sudetes Mts., Poland) and from identical zones of the east Sudetic Rychlebske Mts. and Jesenik Mts. (Czech Republic). Concentrations of As in all examined populations were higher than background values (1 μg/g dry weight) culminating in an average maximum of 6270 μg/g in Chiloscyphus pallescens from a stream draining an area with former arsenic and gold mining near Zloty Stok.This survey has shown that aquatic bryophytes accumulate the examined elements to a high degree especially if growing in areas with mineral deposits. This was demonstrated by strong positive correlations between Ba, Sr, Zn concentrations in water and Platyhypnidium rusciforme.  相似文献

Structural, petrological and geochronological data from marbles and mica schists combined with those from highly disputable gneisses and eclogites of the Orlica-Śnieżnik Dome (OSD), gave new insights into Variscan evolution of eastern borderland of the West Sudetes. It is shown that the Variscan tectonometamorphic evolution of the OSD began with E–W oriented subhorizontal shortening (D1 stage) related to the collision of the West Sudetes terranes and the Brunovistulian terrane. The shortening led to generally upright folding, which resulted in formation of the steep N–S trending metamorphic planar fabric S1, thickening of the lithosphere and burial of the Stronie Formation under greenschist facies conditions. As a consequence of subsequent, near-coaxial gravity-controlled vertical shortening (D2), the S1 foliation was deformed in tight recumbent folds F2. The flattening strain was associated with the progression to amphibolite-facies conditions (from ca. 510 upto ca. 620°C) and uplift from depths corresponding to 9–10 kbar to depths corresponding to 7–8 kbar. On microscale, the flattening strain is documented by rotation of the mineral fabric overgrown by syn-D2 prograde garnet porphyroblasts. The Sm–Nd Grt–WR isochron age, correlated with the D2 event yields 346.5 ± 4.4 Ma. Further deformation and progressive metamorphism led to development of the subhorizontally disposed S2 axial plane schistosity, which terminated at the metamorphic temperature peak. During retrogression but still under ductile conditions of deformation, the S2 planes were reactivated during successive top-to-the-N shear movement of the OSD (D3 stage). Due to the mutual interaction of the OSD with the adjacent terranes the shear deformations were localized within marginal parts of these units. Finally, as a result of the NE–SW and the NW–SE oriented shortenings (D4 stage and D5 stage, respectively), both the structural surfaces and metamorphic isograds were regionally folded with W(NW)-ward plunges. A synthesis of new and existing data shows an overall similarity in sequence of Variscan deformations (D1–D2–D3) in the West Sudetes borderland to that observed in the eastern flank of the Moldanubian domain.  相似文献

The classical correlation by kossmat (1927) of the Saxothuringian belt of Germany with the West Sudetes of Poland is re-evaluated with special reference to the crystalline massifs of Munchberg and the Góry Sowie and the surrounding areas. Important common features are: Cambro-Ordovician magmatism and sedimentation; Silurian to Devonian radiolarian cherts in the low grade to unmetamorphosed units; Early Devonian (and older?) pressure-dominated metamorphism followed by rapid uplift; the incorporation of high pressure and mantle rocks; and Early Carboniferous mass flow deposits with ‘Saxothuringian’ clasts. Differing features in the West Sudetes are: tectonic contacts in and around the Góry Sowie are mostly subvertical and mainly (semi-)brittle (in contrast with subhorizontal and ductile contracts in the Münchberg); the Góry Sowie has undergone late re-equilibration of the earlier tectonic fabrics; an ophiolite juxtaposed with the Góry Sowie crystallized in (?) Devonian time and became only statically metamorphosed, as opposed to the regionally metamorphosed Cambro-Ordovician mafic rocks of the Saxothuringian belt; localized depocenters with Upper Devonian to Lower Permian elastic rocks relating to north-west trending strike-slip faults instead of the north-east trending cylindroidal foreland basin in the Saxothuringian. It is possible that the West Sudetes originated as an easterly continuation of the Saxothuringian belt, but then became involved, from the Late Devonian onwards, in a strike-slip system parallel with the margin of the East European Platform.  相似文献

Summary Alkali feldspar megacrysts from the porphyritic Karkonosze granite (Western Sudetes, Poland) were formed during magma mixing. Barium concentrations in zoned crystals, a sensitive indicator of feldspar migration between coeval magmas, serve to reconstruct the crystallization path of the megacrysts. Based on geochemical data, a double mixing model for the formation of the porphyritic granite and for megacryst growth is constructed. The feldspar growth model supports megacryst nucleation and early crystallization in a hybridized crustal magma of granodioritic composition. The growth model gives credibility of the choice of partition coefficients used in the modelling. Insights gained from mixing models based on whole rock composition and mineral zonation allow the recognition of various hybridization events that are reflected in a variety of megacryst crystallization paths within the pluton.  相似文献

The Erzgebirge dome consists of several superimposed composite tectonometamorphic units of medium- to high-grade metamorphic rocks from different crustal depths. These exhibit high pressure-high temperature and even ultrahigh-pressure imprints inherited from the root zone of a Variscan orogen and were exhumed almost immediately after attainment of maximum pressures at ～341 Ma. At present, the entire stack of tectonometamorphic units lies underneath an upper-crustal sequence of Paleozoic metasediments and tectonic slivers of pre-Carboniferous metamorphic rocks.

Shear zones active at different times and at different depths are preserved, mainly recording two successive stages of the exhumation history between 340 and 330 Ma. Tectonic transport during exhumation was remarkably constant in an E-W direction, swinging to NW-SE in the eastern part of the Erzgebirge parallel to a ductile transtensional zone (Elbe zone) that was concomitantly active. The various tectonometamorphic units have characteristically correlated, convergent P-T-t-d paths (both “cooling during decompression” and “heating during decompression”) that can be deduced from the dominant quartzofeldspathic rocks. These paths indicate successive exhumation of hotter rocks from increasingly deeper structural positions and juxtaposition against cooler rocks in higher positions, concomitant with the excision of intermediate crustal levels. We interpret this type of successive vertical telescoping of the metamorphic profile to be the result of extension of the thickened tectonometamorphic stack.

Extensional unroofing in the middle and upper crust was contemporaneous with and outlasted underthrusting and hence prograde metamorphism and deformation at deeper levels of the tectonometamorphic pile. Underthrusting is documented by a major inversion of the maximum pressure conditions in the lowermost units. However, structures related to compressional stacking now generally occur only as relics transposed by extensional deformation at lower pressure, or are restricted to rare small slivers with preserved prograde structures. Sedimentation of Lower Dinantian turbidites occurred along the flanks of the Erzgebirge dome during the exhumation process.

The extrusion of high-pressure rocks is interpreted to have been driven mainly by a major regional buoyancy instability caused by the delamination of the lithospheric mantle underneath the neighboring Bohemian Massif, which represented overthickened crust at least from the Devonian to the early Visean. Major controlling factors were boundary forces exerted by the thickened crustal bulge on the neighboring thin crustal segments in the north and east, effecting lateral extension of this orogenic wedge and extrusion-i.e., convective upward flow of gravitationally unstable crustal material.  相似文献

This paper reports on the complex relation between rock emplacement and remanence acquisition in tuffs deposited by pyroclastic density currents, disclosed by systematic measurements of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility and natural remanent magnetization (NRM). Thermal demagnetization shows that the NRM consists of two components with different blocking-temperature spectra. The direction of the low-temperature component is consistent with the geocentric axial dipole value, whereas the high-temperature component has dispersed directions. The magnetic fabric is oblate, the magnetic foliation is close to the bedding and the lineations are generally dispersed along a girdle within the foliation plane. The directions of the magnetic lineation and the high-temperature remanence component of individual specimens are close to each other. This correspondence suggests that the high blocking-temperature grains acquired a remanence aligned to their long dimension before deposition, while cooling within the explosive cloud and the moving pyroclastic current. Thereafter, during deposition, the traction processes at the base of the current oriented the grains along the flow direction and affected both fabric and high-temperature remanence. This NRM component results from mechanical orientation of previously magnetized grains and is thus detrital in origin. A second, thermal component was then acquired during the cooling of the low blocking-temperature grains after deposition. These results show that NRM in fine-grained pyroclastic rocks is affected by the Earth’s magnetic field as well as the emplacement processes and that magnetic fabric data are essential to unravel its complex nature.  相似文献

Granitoid orthogneisses make up the predominant rock type in the West Sudetes from Jizerské hory in the NW to the Orlické hory and Sn3—ník Mountains in the SE. These generally strongly foliated gneisses are calc-alkaline in composition and display trace element characteristics suggesting generation in a volcanic arc setting. Single zircon ages reflecting the time of emplacement of the gneiss protoliths define a relatively narrow Cambro-Ordovician range between 502 and 515 Ma. This is similar to previously reported zircon ages from the Czech and Polish West Sudetes and documents an important and regionally extensive post-Cadomian magmatic event that we relate to continental arc magmatism on the margin of Avalonia that developed during closure of the Tornquist Ocean. An age of 492 Ma for a microgranite dyke cutting deformed and metamorphosed orthogneisses in the Orlické hory shows the main deformation to be early Paleozoic. Zircon xenocryst minimum ages range between 546 and 2070 Ma and show maxima in the Cadomian/Pan-African (550-850 Ma) and Grenvillian (1000-1300 Ma) time brackets. The Grenvillian event is also evident from Nd mean crustal residence ages that vary between 1.34 and 1.87 Ga. From these data we suggest that the pre-Variscan granitoid gneisses of the Czech West Sudetes were largely generated by melting of a predominantly Grenville-age basement that was part of the northern margin of Gondwana and may have been related to Grenville-age basement now identified in northern South America.  相似文献

The paper summarises the history of human settlement in the Sudetes from the Bronze Age. A more intensive stage was reached in the Middle Ages when settlers from the west established new villages deep in the mountain valleys. By the beginning of the 20th century the Sudetes were already overpopulated but after a near-complete ethnic replacement from a German to a Polish population in 1945–8, population continued to grow until the 1980s. However, the economic system was hardly sustainable by this time. There were many polluting industries in the region and massive transboundary pollution from adjacent areas of Czechoslovakia and Germany had a devastating effect on the forests. Moreover, subsidised state agriculture placed heavy pressure on vulnerable mountain grazings. Since 1989 there has been a process of deindustrialisation in the Sudetes and surrounding areas and, with the disappearance of the state farms and the reduction in subsidies, agriculture is now better adjusted to the natural potential and is complemented by a promising start with agrotourism. The population of the region is growing relatively slowly (0.8% per annum 1956–1999), with the rural areas now in decline. A sustainable future for the region is now a possibility, but while there is a consensus for continued environmental reconstruction, supported by alternative economies, this will have to be carefully managed in the years ahead when EU accession may bring heavier development pressures than those evident at the moment.

The dyke-quartz-masses of the Bavarian “Pfahl” are embedded in schists striking NW-SE. The Pfahl consists of numerous individual veins arranged en echelon and represents a system of feather joints which originated during a weak phase of compression normal to a NW-SE-striking axis. The age of these movements is possibly Sudetic. Post-Cretaceous movements along the north edge of the Bodenwöhr-Basin had little or no effect upon the Pfahl. There is no post-Cretaceous quartz-precipitation.  相似文献

The aim of this study is to assess the impact of biotic and abiotic factors on peatland formation in the Central Sudetes (central Europe) during the late Holocene. The research methodology adopted allowed us to determine whether vegetation development and shallow peatland formation were affected by human activity. Knowledge of past changes might be useful in evaluating recent and future changes, and to avoid pitfalls in the present management of peatland ecosystems. A palaeoecological research study of four peatlands was conducted in the Sto?owe Mountains (Central Sudetes, SW Poland). The results showed that these shallow peatlands originated in the middle to late Holocene (from 3301 BC to AD 1137). Palaeoecological records reflect continuous human impact on vegetation development and peat accumulation from the Middle Ages to the present (late Holocene). The strongest agrarian settler activity is observed in the High Middle Ages (AD 1200–1500). The human‐induced or wildfires observed in the late Holocene were an integral component of peatland ecosystems in the Central Sudetes. Moreover, palaeoecological analysis (sphagnum spores decline) and radiocarbon dating (AD 1870) confirmed drainage of the study area in the 19th century, which greatly affected the vegetation communities.  相似文献

Four metasedimentary zircon populations from different tectonometamorphic units of the Central and the Northern Schwarzwald (Variscan belt, SW-Germany) were investigated using SEM, cathodoluminescence and SHRIMP dating. Despite partially strong modifications of primary internal morphologies during Variscan metamorphism at amphibolite (750 °C, 0.4–0.6 GPa) and granulite-facies conditions (950–1,000 °C, 1.4–1.8 GPa), many grains show well-preserved protolith ages. The detritus indicates a northern Gondwana origin and different Palaeozoic episodes of sediment deposition and consolidation. Two of the studied sediments were deposited in Cambrian/early-Ordovician times and consolidated in positions close to northern Gondwana. Late Ordovician and rare Devonian detritus from sediments of two other tectonometamorphic units indicates much later sedimentation close to the leading edge of Gondwana or a terrane assemblage during northern drift towards Laurussia. Subsolidus growth of new zircon due to Variscan granulite facies metamorphism of one of the tectonometamorphic units is precisely dated at 335±2 Ma.Editorial responsibility: J. Hoefs  相似文献

Due to the abundance of mineral deposits associated with the metamorphic rocks of the Sudetes, the area was intensively settled and developed by the end of the Middle Ages. Several centuries later, the first attempts were made to rehabilitate the devastated natural environment. The advent of capitalism brought further damage to the environment, which has remained almost unchanged to this day. Improvements in the context of transfrontier cooperation have arisen out of the economic crisis and the disintegration of the Soviet bloc. However, the Sudetes are still a problem area, and various industries are competing for local resources. The main problem facing the region is the need to rehabilitate its natural environment and create a more balanced local economy. Tourism, forestry, agriculture and ‘clean’ industrial technologies have the greatest potential. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

The westernmost part of the Central Zone of the Limpopo Belt in Botswana is commonly interpreted as a frontal ramp of a westward extruding block or nappe sheet, related to a late Archæan Limpopo Orogeny. In this paper the structural observations from this area are reviewed and new geochronological results presented, in order to test the existing tectonic models. Two tectonometamorphic events can be distinguished. Neoarchæan granulite metamorphism (M1) is associated with the generation of voluminous granitic bodies at ca 2.6 Ga. The nature of the Archæan tectonometamorphism is difficult to interpret because of a major high-grade metamorphic overprint at 2.0 Ga, which is characterised by a complicated succession of ductile deformational phases. The structural patterns indicate that during the 2.0 Ga evolution of the Limpopo Belt convergence directions changed from north to northwest and west. During the same period metamorphic conditions gradually decreased from upper amphibolite-facies to greenschist-facies.The structural features in the western part of the Central Zone are not compatible with a frontal ramp geometry. Models proposing a single Neoarchæan Limpopo Orogeny do not account for the polyphase tectonometamorphic evolution in the Central Zone and are also rejected. This study suggests that a Proterozoic orogeny involving transpression best explains the geometries encountered in the western Limpopo Belt.  相似文献

Mesoproterozoic terranes of the Australian craton exhibit complex tectonometamorphic histories that are generally considered to result from low-pressure/high-temperature (LPHT) metamorphism with an anticlockwise pressure ( P )–temperature ( T ) path. Yet studies regarding the nature of the P–T history and tectonic regime that led to such a LPHT signature have been quite limited. A foliation intersection/inflection axes preserved in the porphyroblast (FIA) analysis combined with textural relationships and P–T pseudosections, using a key locality of the Eastern Fold Belt of the Mt Isa Inlier, has resolved the cause of the LPHT signature in this region. Two periods of porphyroblast growth have been distinguished using a change in FIA trends with time; the first formed during N–S shortening and the second during W–E shortening orogenesis (D1 & D2, respectively). Significantly, D1 porphyroblasts preserving W–E FIAs are minerals of the Barrovian style, whereas D2 formed porphyroblasts preserving N–S FIAs are Buchan in style. This is consistent with the emplacement of the Williams/Naraku Batholiths after D1 around the onset of D2. Higher-pressure garnet cores, that can be modelled in MnNCKFMASH P–T pseudosections, preserve early W–E FIA and formed during D1. This was followed by decompression and then LPHT metamorphism and deformation during which N–S FIAs were preserved within porphyroblasts. This is supported by the presence of at least two generations of staurolite that crystallized before and after andalusite/cordierite. Middle to upper amphibolite facies metamorphic conditions occurred during D1 with crustal thickening followed by near-isothermal decompression leading to LPHT conditions. This was followed by D2 and a second period of middle to upper amphibolite facies metamorphism that obliterated and/or obscured the tectonometamorphic signature of D1 in the matrix of most rocks.  相似文献
