对内蒙古白山岩浆弧内百合山石英闪长岩进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年、Hf同位素及岩石地球化学分析。结果显示,该岩体的形成年龄为350.8±1.5 Ma,岩浆锆石的ε_(Hf)(t)值在5.28~9.88之间,模式年龄为724~1018 Ma。地球化学数据显示,百合山石英闪长岩为一套I型钙碱性系列岩石,富碱(Na_2O+K_2O=6.03%~6.96%),富钠(Na_2O/K_2O2),较低的Mg~#(35.48~39.78)、Ni(2.06×10~(-6)~5.54×10~(-6))和Cr(2.11×10~(-6)~7.93×10~(-6))含量。相对富集轻稀土元素,重稀土分馏不明显,较低的(La/Yb)_N值(4.28~5.60),无明显Eu异常,相对富集Rb、K、U等大离子亲石元素,亏损Nb、Ta、P、Ti等高场强元素等,地球化学成分表明,石英闪长岩具有俯冲带成因的特征。石英闪长岩的锆石U-Pb年龄和岩石成因证明了350 Ma石英闪长岩是晚古生代白山岩浆弧内首次发现的可以明确与红石山-百合山洋俯冲消减作用有关的最早的弧岩浆记录。表明红石山-百合山洋于约350 Ma之前就已经开始发生俯冲消减,比前人一般认为的俯冲开始的时间提前了22 Ma。  相似文献

蛇绿岩在不同演化阶段自身形成的花岗质岩石和侵入到蛇绿岩中的花岗质岩石对于蛇绿岩的精确定年具有重要意义,是揭示洋壳俯冲时限的有力证据。对北阿尔金红柳沟—拉配泉蛇绿岩中斜长花岗岩和花岗闪长岩的锆石U-Pb及Lu-Hf同位素分析表明,红柳沟斜长花岗岩和花岗闪长岩的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果分别为(501±3)Ma和(496±2)Ma,表明北阿尔金洋的俯冲时限可能开始于中寒武世或更早。斜长花岗岩和花岗闪长岩的锆石εHf(t)值均为正值,结果分别为1.6~5.6和3.3~6.9,反映其源区均为亏损型地幔。全岩地球化学分析结果表明,斜长花岗岩具有高Si O2、高Sr、低Y和相应的高Sr/Y等类似于埃达克质岩石的特征,可能来自热的洋壳俯冲到石榴角闪岩相条件下变基性岩发生小比例部分熔融形成,且其形成深度应该在40~50 km;花岗闪长岩属于高钾钙碱性系列岩石,可能代表了岛弧环境下下地壳基性岩石部分熔融的产物。年代学分析表明,北阿尔金洋可能存在南北双向俯冲,并且北阿尔金洋向北俯冲可能略早于向南俯冲。北阿尔金和北祁连的俯冲时限对比研究表明,北阿尔金早古生代缝合带是北祁连早古生代缝合带的西延部分。  相似文献

为了解晚古生代西伯利亚板块南缘增生造山过程中的岩浆活动特征及其对贺根山洋盆闭合时间的制约,对东乌旗巴彦都兰闪长岩、二长花岗岩岩相学、锆石U-Pb年代学、锆石Hf同位素和岩石地球化学进行了研究,并讨论了岩石成因和构造环境。闪长岩、二长花岗岩锆石U-Pb同位素年龄依次为(319.8±0.9)Ma、(300.8±1.7)Ma,分别侵位于晚石炭世、早二叠世地层。闪长岩以正的锆石εHf(t)(13.5~17.1)为特征,具有年轻的锆石地壳模式年龄(tDMc)(335~466 Ma),明显富集Rb、K等大离子亲石元素(LILE),亏损Ba、Sr,相对亏损Ta、Nb和Ti等高场强元素(HFSE),为洋壳俯冲阶段,地幔楔混入并与年轻洋壳部分熔融形成。二长花岗岩以高钾、富碱、弱过铝质为特征,富集部分大离子亲石元素(LREE、Rb、K等);Zr弱负异常、Hf弱正异常,亏损Sr、Nb、Ta、P、Ti,显示后造山花岗岩特征。二长花岗岩形成于伸展构造环境,是贺根山洋盆闭合后后造山阶段的产物,为洋壳俯冲形成的先成地壳部分熔融而成。  相似文献

内蒙古塔尔气地区位于大兴安岭中段兴安地块上,该区出露大面积晚古生代花岗岩。其锆石的 LA-ICP-MS U--Pb 测年结果显示,正长花岗岩形成于335 ± 5 Ma,二长花岗岩形成于313 ± 3 Ma,花岗闪长岩形成于320 ± 1 Ma,表明塔尔气地区花岗岩为晚古生代多期花岗质岩浆活动的产物。花岗质岩浆的就位与古生代时期古亚洲洋闭合中洋壳俯冲作用有重要关系。花岗闪长岩的176Hf /177Hf 为0. 282 833 ~ 0. 282 951,εHf ( t) 为+ 1. 1 ~ + 5. 6,TDM2 为525 ~ 752 Ma,暗示花岗岩的源岩为新元古代-早古生代时期亏损地幔来源的基性下地壳物质。结合目前已发表的花岗岩Sr --Nd 和锆石Hf 同位素资料,认为兴安地块可能从中元古代就开始地壳增生,峰期集中在新元古代-早古生代。  相似文献

东乌旗乌拉盖地区出露一套早古生代辉长闪长岩,为兴蒙造山带北缘二连-东乌旗早古生代岩浆岩带的组成部分。对该岩体进行了锆石U-Pb年龄、全岩地球化学及Sr-Nd-Hf同位素分析,探讨了岩石成因及其对兴蒙造山带北缘早古生代构造演化的启示。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年显示岩体年龄为499.6±1.2 Ma,为二连-东乌旗地区出露的最古老侵入体。岩体具有中等的Si O2含量(51.60%~54.28%),富铝,贫铁、镁,全碱及钾含量较低,属钙碱性岩浆系列;富大离子亲石元素,亏损高场强元素,具有弱的Eu正异常(δEu=1.03~1.34),稀土元素配分型式呈平缓的右倾型。辉长闪长岩同位素组成比较亏损,(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i=0.704 5~0.704 7,εNd(t)=+2.71~+4.17,εHf(t)相对εNd(t)明显偏高,为+10.8~+18.7,存在Nd-Hf同位素解耦现象。年代学、岩石地球化学以及Sr-Nd-Hf同位素综合分析表明,乌拉盖辉长闪长岩是早古生代古亚洲洋沿苏左旗-锡林浩特一线向北俯冲的产物,岩体形成于俯冲作用的初始阶段,源区为受到俯冲物质交代的地幔楔,交代物质以板片熔体为主,流体交代为辅,无明显沉积物加入,后期由于弧后拉张、贺根山洋盆打开与主体岛弧带脱离,最终形成了与俯冲带彼此分隔的格局。  相似文献

喀腊大湾位于北阿尔金山的中东段,区内分布有大量早古生代中-酸性侵入岩体,这些岩体为探索北阿尔金早古生代构造-岩浆活动及其区域构造演化提供了重要依据。本文对出露在喀腊大湾南段的二长花岗岩展开了详细的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年代学、全岩地球化学和锆石Hf同位素分析。锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年获得二长花岗岩的成岩年龄为484.2±4.9Ma(MSDW=0.46,n=14),属早奥陶世。在地球化学组成上,二长花岗岩具有富碱(全碱8.31%~8.66%)、高钾(K_2O=3.65%~4.76%)和贫MgO(0.6%~0.9%)、P_2O_5(0.06%~0.11%)、TiO_2(0.39%~0.58%)和FeOT(1.82%~2.34%)的特征,岩石铝饱和指数(A/CNK)为0.96~1.01,属准铝质-弱过铝质高钾钙碱性Ⅰ型花岗岩。二长花岗岩具有弱的正Eu异常,明显富集大离子亲石元素(如K、Rb、Ba、Th、U)和LREE,相对亏损高场强元素(如Ti、Ta、Nb)和HREE,显示出弧岩浆岩的地球化学特征。锆石Hf同位素分析结果表明,二长花岗岩的ε_(Hf)(t)均为正值(+4.08~+8.26),且变化范围较小,对应的二阶段模式年龄(tDM2)为875~1099Ma,反映成岩过程中有显著的幔源新生地壳物质加入。综合区域地质背景及前人研究成果,认为喀腊大湾南段二长花岗岩应形成于北阿尔金洋向南侧阿中地块俯冲消减的活动大陆边缘弧环境,其岩浆源区可能起源于新生地壳和古老基底地壳构成混合地壳的部分熔融,岩体在形成过程中经历了壳幔岩浆混合作用,这些特征与北祁连早古生代形成于俯冲消减背景下的中-酸性侵入岩体相似,进而为北阿尔金曾是北祁连的西延部分提供了新的佐证。  相似文献

This paper reports the first results of a study of 11 isotope systems (3He/4He, 40Ar/36Ar, 34S/32S, 65Cu/63Cu, 62Ni/60Ni, 87Sr/86Sr, 143Nd/144Nd, 206–208Pb/204Pb, Hf–Nd, U–Pb, and Re–Os) in the rocks and ores of the Cu–Ni–PGE deposits of the Norilsk ore district. Almost all the results were obtained at the Center of Isotopic Research of the Karpinskii All-Russia Research Institute of Geology. The use of a number of independent genetic isotopic signatures and comprehensive isotopic knowledge provided a methodic basis for the interpretation of approximately 5000 isotopic analyses of various elements. The presence of materials from two sources, crust and mantle, was detected in the composition of the rocks and ores. The contribution of the crustal source is especially significant in the paleofluids (gas–liquid microinclusions) of the ore-forming medium. Crustal solutions were probably a transport medium during ore formation. Air argon is dominant in the ores, which indicates a connection between the paleofluids and the atmosphere. This suggests intense groundwater circulation during the crystallization of ore minerals. The age of the rocks and ores of the Norilsk deposits was determined. The stage of orebody formation is restricted to a narrow age interval of 250 ± 10 Ma. An isotopic criterion was proposed for the ore-bearing potential of mafic intrusions in the Norilsk–Taimyr region. It includes several interrelated isotopic ratios of various elements: He, Ar, S, and others.  相似文献

Komatiites are mantle-derived ultramafic volcanic rocks. Komatiites have been discovered in several States of India, notably in Karnataka. Studies on the distribution of trace-elements in the komatiites of India are very few. This paper proposes a simple, accurate, precise, rapid, and non-destructive wavelength-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometric technique for determining Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th in komatiites, and discusses the accuracy, precision, limits of detection, x-ray spectral-line interferences, inter-element effects, speed, advantages, and limitations of the technique. The accuracy of the technique is excellent (within 3%) for Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th and very good (within 4%) for Y. The precision is also excellent (within 3%) for Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th. The limits of detection are: 1 ppm for Sc and V; 2 ppm for Cr, Co, and Ni; 3 ppm for Cu, Zn, Rb, and Sr; 4 ppm for Y and Zr; 6 ppm for Nb; 10 ppm for Ba; 13 ppm for Pb; and 14 ppm for Th. The time taken for determining Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th in a batch of 24 samples of komatiites, for a replication of four analyses per sample, by one operator, using a manual WDXRF spectrometer, is only 60 hours.  相似文献

Five hundred and ninety-eight samples of terrestrial moss (Hylocomium splendens and Pleurozium schreberi) collected from a 188,000 km2 area of the central Barents region (NE Norway, N Finland, NW Russia) were analysed by ICP-AES and ICP-MS. Analytical results for Al, B, Ba, Ca, K, La, Mg, Mn, Na, P, Rb, Si, Sr, Th, U and Y concentrations are reported here. Graphical methods of data analysis, such as geochemical maps, cumulative frequency diagrams, boxplots and scatterplots, are used to interpret the origin of the patterns for these elements. None of the elements reported here are emitted in significant amounts from the smelting industry on the Kola Peninsula. Despite the conventional view that moss chemistry reflects atmospheric element input, the nature of the underlying mineral substrate (regolith or bedrock) is found to have a considerable influence on moss composition for several elements. This influence of the chemistry of the mineral substrate can take place in a variety of ways. (1) It can be completely natural, reflecting the ability of higher plants to take up elements from deep soil horizons and shed them with litterfall onto the surface. (2) It can result from naturally increased soil dust input where vegetation is scarce due to harsh climatic conditions for instance. Alternatively, substrate influence can be enhanced by human activity, such as open-cast mining, creation of ‘technogenic deserts’, or handling, transport and storage of ore and ore products, all of which magnify the natural elemental flux from bedrock to ground vegetation. Seaspray is another natural process affecting moss composition in the area (Mg, Na), and this is most visible in the Norwegian part of the study area. Presence or absence of some plant species, e.g., lichens, seems to influence moss chemistry. This is shown by the low concentrations of B or K in moss on the Finnish and Norwegian side of the (fenced) border with Russia, contrasting with high concentrations on the other side (intensive reindeer husbandry west of the border has selectively depleted the lichen population).  相似文献

This paper discusses the result of the detailed investigations carried out on the coal characteristics, including coal petrography and its geochemistry of the Pabedana region. A total of 16 samples were collected from four coal seams d2, d4, d5, and d6 of the Pabedana underground mine which is located in the central part of the Central-East Iranian Microcontinent. These samples were reduced to four samples through composite sampling of each seam and were analyzed for their petrographic, mineralogical, and geochemical compositions. Proximate analysis data of the Pabedana coals indicate no major variations in the moisture, ash, volatile matter, and fixed carbon contents in the coals of different seams. Based on sulfur content, the Pabedana coals may be classified as low-sulfur coals. The low-sulfur contents in the Pabedana coal and relatively low proportion of pyritic sulfur suggest a possible fresh water environment during the deposition of the peat of the Pabedana coal. X-ray diffraction and petrographic analyses indicate the presence of pyrite in coal samples. The Pabedana coals have been classified as a high volatile, bituminous coal in accordance with the vitrinite reflectance values (58.75–74.32 %) and other rank parameters (carbon, calorific value, and volatile matter content). The maceral analysis and reflectance study suggest that the coals in all the four seams are of good quality with low maceral matter association. Mineralogical investigations indicate that the inorganic fraction in the Pabedana coal samples is dominated by carbonates; thus, constituting the major inorganic fraction of the coal samples. Illite, kaolinite, muscovite, quartz, feldspar, apatite, and hematite occur as minor or trace phases. The variation in major elements content is relatively narrow between different coal seams. Elements Sc,, Zr, Ga, Ge, La, As, W, Ce, Sb, Nb, Th, Pb, Se, Tl, Bi, Hg, Re, Li, Zn, Mo, and Ba show varying negative correlation with ash yield. These elements possibly have an organic affinity and may be present as primary biological concentrations either with tissues in living condition and/or through sorption and formation of organometallic compounds.  相似文献

We examined the coprecipitation behavior of Ti, Mo, Sn and Sb in Ca–Al–Mg fluorides under two different fluoride forming conditions: at < 70 °C in an ultrasonic bath (denoted as the ultrasonic method) and at 245 °C using a Teflon bomb (denoted as the bomb method). In the ultrasonic method, small amounts of Ti, Mo and Sn coprecipitation were observed with 100% Ca and 100% Mg fluorides. No coprecipitation of Ti, Mo, Sn and Sb in Ca–Al–Mg fluorides occurred when the sample was decomposed by the bomb method except for 100% Ca fluoride. Based on our coprecipitation observations, we have developed a simultaneous determination method for B, Ti, Zr, Nb, Mo, Sn, Sb, Hf and Ta by Q-pole type ICP-MS (ICP-QMS) and sector field type ICP-MS (ICP-SFMS). 9–50 mg of samples with Zr–Mo–Sn–Sb–Hf spikes were decomposed by HF using the bomb method and the ultrasonic method with B spike. The sample was then evaporated and re-dissolved into 0.5 mol l 1 HF, followed by the removal of fluorides by centrifuging. B, Zr, Mo, Sn, Sb and Hf were measured by ID method. Nb and Ta were measured by the ID-internal standardization method, based on Nb/Mo and Ta/Mo ratios using ICP-QMS, for which pseudo-FI was developed and applied. When 100% recovery yields of Zr and Hf are expected, Nb/Zr and Ta/Hf ratios may also be used. Ti was determined by the ID-internal standardization method, based on the Ti/Nb ratio from ICP-SFMS. Only 0.053 ml sample solution was required for measurement of all 9 elements. Dilution factors of ≤ 340 were aspirated without matrix effects. To demonstrate the applicability of our method, 4 carbonaceous chondrites (Ivuna, Orgueil, Cold Bokkeveld and Allende) as well as GSJ and USGS silicate reference materials of basalts, andesites and peridotites were analyzed. Our analytical results are consistent with previous studies, and the mean reproducibility of each element is 1.0–4.6% for basalts and andesites, and 6.7–11% for peridotites except for TiO2.  相似文献

The Kuskokwim River at Bethel, Alaska, drains a major mercury-antimony metallogenic province in its upper reaches and tributaries. Bethel (population 4000) is situated on the Kuskokwim floodplain and also draws its water supply from wells located in river-deposited sediment. A boring through overbank and floodplain sediment has provided material to establish a baseline datum for sediment-hosted heavy metals. Mercury (total), arsenic, antimony, and selenium contents were determined; aluminum was also determined and used as normalizing factor. The contents of the heavy metals were relatively constant with depth and do not reflect any potential enrichment from upstream contaminant sources.  相似文献

Most sulfide-rich magmatic Ni-Cu-(PGE) deposits form in dynamic magmatic systems by partial melting S-bearing wall rocks with variable degrees of assimilation of miscible silicate and volatile components, and generation of barren to weakly-mineralized immiscible Fe sulfide xenomelts into which Ni-Cu-Co-PGE partition from the magma. Some exceptionally-thick magmatic Cr deposits may form by partial melting oxide-bearing wall rocks with variable degrees of assimilation of the miscible silicate and volatile components, and generation of barren Fe ± Ti oxide xenocrysts into which Cr-Mg-V ± Ti partition from the magma. The products of these processes are variably preserved as skarns, residues, xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenomelts, and xenovolatiles, which play important to critical roles in ore genesis, transport, localization, and/or modification. Incorporation of barren xenoliths/autoliths may induce small amounts of sulfide/chromite to segregate, but incorporation of sulfide xenomelts or oxide xenocrysts with dynamic upgrading of metal tenors (PGE > Cu > Ni > Co and Cr > V > Ti, respectively) is required to make significant ore deposits. Silicate xenomelts are only rarely preserved, but will be variably depleted in chalcophile and ferrous metals. Less dense felsic xenoliths may aid upward sulfide transport by increasing the effective viscosity and decreasing the bulk density of the magma. Denser mafic or metamorphosed xenoliths may also increase the effective viscosity of the magma, but may aid downward sulfide transport by increasing the bulk density of the magma. Sulfide wets olivine, so olivine xenocrysts may act as filter beds to collect advected finely dispersed sulfide droplets, but other silicates and xenoliths may not be wetted by sulfides. Xenovolatiles may retard settling of – or in some cases float – dense sulfide droplets. Reactions of sulfide melts with felsic country rocks may generate Fe-rich skarns that may allow sulfide melts to fractionate to more extreme Cu-Ni-rich compositions. Xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenomelts, and xenovolatiles are more likely to be preserved in cooler basaltic magmas than in hotter komatiitic magmas, and are more likely to be preserved in less dynamic (less turbulent) systems/domain/phases than in more dynamic (more turbulent) systems/domains/phases. Massive to semi-massive Ni-Cu-PGE and Cr mineralization and xenoliths are often localized within footwall embayments, dilations/jogs in dikes, throats of magma conduits, and the horizontal segments of dike-chonolith and dike-sill complexes, which represent fluid dynamic traps for both ascending and descending sulfides/oxides. If skarns, residues, xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenomelts, and/or xenovolatiles are present, they provide important constraints on ore genesis and they are valuable exploration indicators, but they must be included in elemental and isotopic mass balance calculations.  相似文献
