赣中周潭地区发育的周潭群为一套高角闪岩相变质且强烈变形的火山-沉积岩组合,其形成年龄一直存在争议.本次研究对周潭群中斜长角闪岩和黑云母片岩开展了锆石U-Pb年代学和岩石地球化学研究.斜长角闪岩有两种类型的锆石,第一种变质锆石的定年结果为(417±47)Ma,第二种捕获锆石206Pb/238U表观年龄在873～716 Ma之间.黑云母片岩中全部为碎屑锆石,锆石206Pb/238U表观年龄在861～658 Ma之间.斜长角闪岩具有平坦型的稀土分布模式和正的 εNd(t)值(1.72～2.69),其Nb/La(0.73～0.94)、Nb/Y(0.10～0.12)以及Zr/Y(1.61～2.54)比值类似于洋中脊玄武岩(N-MORB);在Nb/Yb与TiO2/Yb、La与La/Nb构造判别图解中,斜长角闪岩全部落在N-MORB区域,表明斜长角闪岩来自亏损地幔.对比扬子东南缘850～760 Ma的N-MORB型基性岩的εNd(t)值、Zr/Y和Sm/Nd比值,斜长角闪岩类似于皖南铺岭组约760 Ma的基性岩,暗示它们形成于相同岩浆岩事件.结合斜长角闪岩和黑云母片岩中小于820 Ma的捕获锆石年龄,表明周潭群的顶界年龄小于760 Ma,因此周潭群不仅包含了类似于四堡群和冷家溪群等相应地层,还应该包含类似于板溪群或丹洲群等相应地层.综合本次报道的周潭群N-MORB型斜长角闪岩和前人报道的850～760 Ma双峰式火山岩、基性-超基性岩墙以及低δ18O锆石,表明华南地块从约900 Ma闭合完毕之后一直处于陆内伸展环境中. 相似文献

对江西乐安相山地区产出在石榴黑云母片岩内、原岩为拉班玄武质火山岩的斜长角闪岩进行了Sm-Nd同位素组成测定，获得Sm-Nd全岩等时线年龄为1113±49 Ma，结合弋阳梅树湾斜长角闪岩及余江马荃斜长角闪岩的同位素定年结果(1159±69 Ma，Sm-Nd; 1190±19Ma, U-Pb) 确认赣中变质岩带原岩属中元古代地层。采用微量元素地球化学比值模糊聚类分析方法对浙西陈蔡群、震旦系及赣中变质岩和震旦系地层进行对比，结合斜长角闪岩Pb-Nd同位素地球化学特征研究，确认赣中变质岩系与陈蔡群相当，从而为赣中变质岩归属于华夏地块变质基底提供了重要佐证。根据崇仁-临川-东乡晚白垩纪断陷红盆两侧深部地球物理重力场、磁场及地层和岩浆岩分布特征的对比，推断遂川深断裂为华夏地块在江西省境内的西北段边界。 相似文献

滇东南屏边地区的基底组成一直是个谜。该区域的构造属性对约束扬子地块和华夏地块的西段界线非常重要。本文
对出露于该地区的震旦-寒武纪沉积岩进行了碎屑锆石U-Pb-Hf同位素分析。二个样品的锆石U-Pb同位素分析显示这二个
地层中的碎屑物质组成相似,都是以新元古代（700~937 Ma）碎屑物质为主,构成了~815 Ma的主峰。岩石中都含有少量
古-中元古代碎屑物质。屏边群沉积岩样品六个最年轻谐和锆石年龄变化于696~761 Ma,指示屏边形成于新元古代晚期,
与震旦系相当。屏边地区基底变质沉积岩的碎屑锆石年龄谱为一明显富集新元古代年龄的单峰模式,不同于华夏地块和印
支地块的年龄谱,而与扬子地块南缘及扬子西缘的沉积岩相似。Hf同位素特征也显示了与扬子地块（尤其是西缘）的亲缘
关系。结合其他证据,本文认为滇东南屏边地区属于扬子地块,扬子地块与华夏地块分界线的西延部分应该在研究区以南
或东南,而不可能是研究区以北的师宗-弥勒-罗甸断裂。碎屑锆石年龄分布特征还指示屏边群这套浅变质碎屑岩沉积于弧
后盆地,暗示扬子地块西南缘的新元古代俯冲作用可能一直持续到~752 Ma之后。 相似文献

扬子地块西南缘大红山群石榴白云母-长石石英片岩的白云母40Ar-39Ar定年及其地质意义 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
大红山群是扬子地块西南缘出露的古元古代结晶基底,主要经历了绿片岩相-低角闪岩相变质作用.本研究对大红山群老厂河组变质中酸性岩和变质沉积岩——石榴白云母-长石石英片岩中的白云母进行了40Ar-39Ar测年,得到三个样品的坪年龄和40Ar/39Ar等时线年龄结果较统一,坪年龄代表的变质年龄分别为837.7±4.2Ma、839.6±4.2Ma和844.2±4.2Ma.变质沉积岩和变质中酸性岩的变质时代类似,均介于837～845Ma.大红山群变质基性岩中变质锆石的U-Pb定年年龄为849±12Ma(杨红等,2012),40Ar-39Ar测年数据与锆石定年数据相结合,说明大红山群古元古代结晶基底中的火山岩和沉积岩均在新元古代经历了同期变质作用,其主期低角闪岩相变质作用发生于新元古代837～850Ma.结合前人发表的扬子西缘～750Ma的变质年龄,扬子西缘从北向南的区域变质作用时限可扩展到750 ～850Ma.此外,扬子西缘存在750～850Ma的岩浆事件,本文研究结果说明,扬子地块西缘在新元古代不仅发生了大规模岩浆作用,也发生了750～850Ma的区域变质作用,扬子西缘存在新元古代的岩浆-变质事件.岩浆事件与变质事件之间可能存在相关性,即新元古代岩浆作用引起了扬子西缘的区域动力热流变质作用. 相似文献

双桥山群是赣东北地区重要的岩石单元之一,其年代学研究一直备受关注。本文对赣东北地区双桥山群凝灰质板岩和粉砂质板岩中的碎屑锆石进行了LA-ICP-MS U-Pb测年分析。碎屑锆石年代学测试结果显示4个主要年龄区间:591～634 Ma(峰值601 Ma)、803～837 Ma(峰值831 Ma)、866～1019 Ma(峰值910 Ma)和 1800 Ma。其中最年轻的碎屑锆石年龄组591～634 Ma峰期601 Ma的年龄,可能限定了双桥山群最大的沉积年龄;而803～837 Ma(峰值831 Ma)指示其物源可能源于江南造山带东段新元古代造山过程的岛弧火山岩; 866～1019 Ma峰期年龄为910 Ma的年龄与皖南-赣东北地区的基性火山岩、火山碎屑岩的形成时代基本一致; 1800 Ma的年龄组与扬子陆块1.8～1.9 Ga锆石年龄相一致。赣东北地区双桥山群碎屑锆石U-Pb测年结果中,出现828 Ma和1800 Ma的碎屑锆石特征年龄峰值,显示它们具有与扬子地块的亲缘性,同时又含有大量的～1.0 Ga碎屑锆石,这些特征年龄相似于格林威尔期的华夏地块,说明在新元古代晚期存在的沉积盆地具有来自扬子和华夏板块的双向物源。 相似文献

赣中变质岩带主要由斜长(云母)变粒岩、十字石榴云母片岩、云母石英片岩夹斜长角闪岩组成。斜长角闪岩Sm-Nd全岩等时线年龄为1113±19Ma,相当于该变质岩带的原岩形成年龄。ε_(Nd)(t)值为2.4±0.1,说明岩浆起源于亏损程度较低的地幔源区:726.6±1.1Ma、403.1±6.4Ma的Rb-Sr等时线年龄表明赣中地区在新元古代末期、加里东期经历了一次强烈的构造变质热作用,其地质、地球化学特征及时代可与浙闽地区陈蔡群、建瓯群进行对比。因此赣中变质岩带并非长期公认的华南加里东褶皱带,应是华夏地块的一部分,这一事实对华南大地构造单元的划分及构造演化具有重要意义。 相似文献

传统认为志留系巴龙贡噶尔组广泛分布于南祁连地区,近年来在其中解体出了新元古代拐杖山岩群,对其开展锆石年龄研究对了解该地层的沉积时代、物源性质以及与邻近板块的亲缘性具有重要意义。本文选取党河南山地区拐杖山组岩群中的黑云斜长石英片岩和石英片岩,进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年并讨论其地质意义。实验结果表明:由下及上碎屑锆石样品的U-Pb测年的最大沉积年龄分别为-794Ma、-746Ma和-713Ma,表明该变质地层至少沉积于-794Ma之后,在-740Ma时期伴有火山活动,并且部分地层可能沉积于-713Ma以后,时代应划归为新元古代。样品碎屑锆石以867-700Ma年龄区间最为集中,表明全吉地块与中祁连地块的基底岩系可能作为源区为拐杖山岩群提供了碎屑物质,同时响应了Rodinia超大陆裂解事件。通过与全吉地块、中祁连地块、柴达木地块、华北板块、澳大利亚板块以及扬子板块的碎屑锆石频谱对比,南祁连地区与其周缘地块以及扬子板块在元古宙时期显示了较好的亲缘关系,但其物源主要来自全吉地块与中祁连地块,而与扬子地块关联较小。 相似文献

Geochronology and Tectonic Evolution of the West Section of the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

As an important part of South China Old Land, the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt plays a significant role in explaining the assembly and the evolution of the Upper Yangtze Block and Cathaysia, as well as the structure and growth mechanism of continental lithosphere in South China.The Lengjiaxi and the Banxi groups are the base strata of the west section of the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt.Thus, the research of geochronology and tectonic evolution of the Lengjiaxi and the Banxi groups is significant.The maximum sedimentary age of the Lengjiaxi Group is ca.862 Ma, and the minimum is ca.822 Ma.The Zhangjiawan Formation, which is situated in the upper part of the Banxi Group is ca.802 Ma.The Lengjiaxi Group and equivalent strata should thus belong to the Neoproterozoic in age.The Jiangnan Orogenic Belt consisting of the Lengjiaxi and the Banxi groups as important constituents is not a Greenville Orogen Belt(1.3 Ga–1.0 Ga).The Jiangnan Orogenic Belt is a recyclic orogenic belt, and the prototype basin is a foreland basin with materials derived from the southwest and the sediments belong to the active continental sedimentation.By combining large amounts of dating data of the Lengjiaxi and the Banxi groups as well as equivalent strata, the evolutionary model of the western section of the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt is established as follows: Before 862 Ma, the South China Ocean was subducted beneath the Upper Yangtze Block, while a continental island arc was formed on the side near the Upper Yangtze Block.The South China Ocean was not closed in this period.From 862 Ma to 822 Ma, the Upper Yangtze Block was collided with Cathaysia; and sediments began to be deposited in the foreland basin between the two blocks.The Lengjiaxi Group and equivalent strata were thus formed and the materials might be derived from the recyclic orogenic belt.From 822 Ma to 802 Ma, Cathaysia continued pushing to the Upper Yangtze Block, experienced the Jinning-Sibao Movement(Wuling Movement); as result, the folded basement of the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt was formed.After 802 Ma, Cathaysia and the Upper Yangtze Block were separated from each other, the Nanhua rift basin was formed and began to receive the sediments of the Banxi Group and equivalent strata.These large amounts of dating data and research results also indicate that before the collision of the Upper Yangtze Block with Cathaysia, materials of the continental crust became less and less from the southwest to the east in the Jiangnan Orogeneic Belt; only island arc and neomagmatic arc were developed in the eastern section.Ocean-continent subduction or continent-continent subduction took place in the western and southern sections, while intra-oceanic subduction occurred in the eastern section.Comprehensive analyses on U-Pb ages and Hf model ages of zircons, the main provenance of the Lengjiaxi Group is Cathaysia. 相似文献

In a re-study of regional geology by the China Geological Survey (CGS), the key problem is in the stratigraphical division and correlation. According to the new isotopic dating of the Meso- and Neoproterozoic in China, there have been great changes in the strata correlation and tectonic explanation. The authors obtained four zircon sensitive high resolution ion micro-probe (SHRIMP) U-Pb datings from the bentonite of the Lengjiaxi Group (822±10 Ma, 823±12 Ma and 834±11 Ma) and Banxi Group (802.6±7.6 Ma) in north Hunan Province, which is considered to be the middle part of the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt. On the basis of the zircon dating mentioned above, the end of the Wuling orogen is first limited in the period from 822 Ma to 802 Ma in one continued outcrop (Lucheng section) in Linxiang city, Hunan Province. Combining a series of new zircon U-Pb datings in the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks, several Neoproterozoic volcanic events and distribution of the metamorphic rocks in the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt have been distinguished. In the context of the global geodynamics, it is useful to set up a practical and high precision chronological framework and basic and unified late Precambrian section in South China. 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

The Neoproterozoic Jiangnan orogen plays an important role in the study of the Precambrian tectonic evolution of South China. The tectonic nature of the Neoproterozoic sedimentary basins is still controversial, due to poor understanding of the sedimentary sequences and the lack of geochronological data. Here, we present sedimentological, provenance and geochronological data from the Heshangzhen Group in the eastern Jiangnan orogen. Sedimentological analysis shows that the Luojiamen Formation was deposited in a submarine fan, and the overlying Hongchicun Formation was deposited in front of a fan delta. The youngest detrital zircons constrain the lower Luojiamen and Hongchicun formations with ages of 827.3 ± 8.4 Ma and 825 ± 12 Ma, respectively. The sandstones of the Luojiamen Formation are characterized by a large number of intermediate to felsic volcanic grains, suggesting a volcanic arc source. In contrast, quartz and sedimentary lithic grains increase in the Hongchicun Formation, showing a new input from a collisional orogenic source. Detrital zircon from six sandstone samples in the Luojiamen and Hongchicun formations yield similar age spectra of 930–820 Ma with a peak at ca. 845–860 Ma, with one main cluster at 930–820 Ma. Detrital zircons of 930–845 Ma show a positive value of εHf(t)(+2.4 to +11, mean +7.6), which is similar to the volcanic arc of the nearby Shuangxiwu Group. There are a minor group of zircons with U-Pb ages ranging from 820 Ma to 845 Ma from the middle part of the Luojiamen Formation and Hongchicun Formation, with εHf(t) values between-20 to +2.4, which are consistent with the characteristics of the Shuangqiaoshan Group. within light of the bidirectional paleocurrents in the Luojiamen Formation, it is speculated that the zircons of 820–845 Ma were recycled from the Shuangqiaoshan Group, which is derived from a continental arc to the northwest. Our data suggests that the Luojiamen Formation was formed in an inter-arc basin, while the Hongchicun Formation was formed in an accretionary wedge-top basin. When juxtaposed with the conglomeratic characteristics at the bottom of the Luojiamen Formation, it is believed that the unconformity represented by the ‘Shen Gong Movement' reflects the rapid erosion and accumulation process of island arc volcanic material. The disconformity between the Luojiamen and Hongchicun formations is the imprint of transition from inter-arc basin to accretionary wedge-top basin,which represents the collision between the Shuangxiwu arc and the Yangtze Plate. 相似文献

吉林通化地区光华岩群出露于太古宙TTG片麻岩之中,其形成时代一直存在争议.利用SHRIMP与LA-ICPMS技术,对其代表性岩石样品开展了锆石U-Pb定年分析,包括石榴黑云片岩、黑云二长片麻岩、石榴角闪片岩和侵入光华岩群底部的钾长花岗岩.结果显示,光华岩群4件变质岩石样品尽管位置不同,但碎屑锆石年龄非常接近,207Pb/206Pb谐和年龄集中在2.6~2.5 Ga之间,加权平均值分别为2 529±7 Ma、2 568±4 Ma、2 526±11 Ma和2 530±6 Ma,表明其成岩物质来源于新太古代地体.部分变质岩石记录了2 525±10 Ma、1 926±40 Ma和1 878±16 Ma的变质锆石年龄,表明其既经历了太古代末期的构造热事件改造,又遭受了古元古代晚期碰撞造山事件的扰动.确定侵入光华岩群底部的钾长花岗岩的侵位年龄为2 154±7 Ma,岩石未遭受变形改造,其成因可能与陆内裂谷发育过程有关. 相似文献

The South China Block was built up by the assembly of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks along the Neoproterozoic Jiangnan Orogenic Belt. The timing of the Jiangnan Orogeny remains controversial. The widespread orogeny–related Neoproterozoic angular unconformity that separates the underlying folded Sibao (ca.1000–820 Ma) and overlying Danzhou (ca.800–720 Ma) Groups was investigated. Six sedimentary samples, below and above the unconformity in three distal localities (Fanjingshan, Madiyi, and Sibao) yield detrital zircon with UPb ages ranging from 779 ± 16 Ma to 3006 ± 36 Ma, with a prominent peak at ca. 852 Ma. The youngest ages of 832 ± 11 Ma and 779 ± 16 Ma are revealed for the underlying Sibao and overlying Danzhou Groups, respectively. The detrital zircon UPb age relative probability plot of the Jiangnan Orogen matches well with those of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks since ca. 865 Ma. Integrating geological, geochemical and geochronological results, we suggest that the Paleo–South China Ocean began to subduct under the Yangtze block at ca. 1000 Ma, and was partly closed at ca. 865 Ma. Afterwards, the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks initially collide at 865 Ma, forming the Jiangnan Orogen. This collision resulted in not only the folding of the Sibao Group, but also sediment deposition in a syn-collisional setting, which makes the upper part of the Sibao Group. The youngest S-type granite dated at ca. 820 Ma that intruded in the Sibao Group marks the late stage of the Jiangnan Orogeny. 相似文献
