辽东半岛出露大量片麻状花岗岩,其锆石U-Pb年龄为180～157Ma,该套岩石的最大特点表现在岩石明显经历了早期上盘向NW推覆和后期近EW向伸展作用的韧性改造,然而其变形时代却一直未得到确定。本文以丹东市西南部黑沟二云母二长花岗岩岩体为例,通过激光^40Ar/^39Ar年代学研究探讨该岩体的变形时代。激光^40Ar/^39Ar定年结果表明,黑沟岩体经历的早期推覆、挤压事件发生在～143Ma,而后期地壳伸展作用则发生在121～113Ma,并且该区在早白垩纪期间经历了快速冷却、抬升过程。从而表明在晚侏罗纪-早白垩纪期间(143～113Ma)辽东半岛经历了区域构造体制变革。结合前人大地构造研究成果,本文认为辽东半岛晚侏罗纪-早白垩纪NW向推覆、挤压事件是古太平洋板块向欧亚大陆俯冲作用的结果,而晚期(早白垩纪)的地壳伸展事件是古太平洋板块俯冲作用的转向和变速、华北东部岩石圈较薄以及挤压后地壳松弛等综合作用的结果。  相似文献

针对华北克拉通中部地区(即Zhaoetal.(2001)称之的中部带)内元古代未变形变质基性岩墙群重要组成部分的太行山南段基性岩脉开展了较为系统的40Ar-39Ar年代学研究,研究结果表明:区内三条NWW或NNE走向的基性岩脉(99JX-16、99JX-65、99JX-71)在>80%的39Ar累积量基础上分别给出了1765.3±1.1Ma,1774.7±0.7Ma,1780.7±0.5Ma的坪谱年龄。1781～1765Ma的年龄限定了区内基性岩脉的侵位年龄,该年龄也一致于恒山NWW向未变形基性岩脉1769.1±2.5Ma的单颗粒锆石U-Pb年龄。上述资料较好地约束了华北陆块早元古代基性岩脉的形成年龄。这为深入理解华北陆块1800Ma左右的热构造事件和华北早前寒武纪构造演化提供新的年代学资料。  相似文献   

中国东部东海地区超高压变质岩构造变形事件的^40Ar／^39Ar定年与超高压变质岩折返过程的重建   总被引：14，自引：1，他引：13

近年的研究表明,中国东部东海地区的超高压变质岩在折返过程中,经历了两期构造变形。早期的韧性变形发生在角闪岩相变质作用条件下,晚期的脆韧性变形发生在绿片岩相变质作用条件下。两期构造变形的运动矢量都表现为上盘向南东的运动。对被超高压变质岩构造掩覆的海州磷矿角闪岩相白云斜长片岩中白云母~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar定年,获得的218.0±2.9 Ma的坪年龄和219.8 Ma的等时线年龄,表明早期的角闪岩相变质变形事件发生在约220 Ma。对在第二期构造变形滑脱面上定向生长的角闪石~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar定年,获得了坪年龄为213.1±0.3 Ma,等时线年龄为213.4±4.1Ma,表明了晚期变形事件的可能时代;对在滑脱面附近生长的伟晶黑云母和伟晶钾长石的~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar定年,获得了黑云母的坪年龄为203.4±0.3 Ma和203.6±0.4 Ma,等时线年龄为204.0±2.0 Ma和200.6±3.1Ma;伟晶钾长石的坪年龄为204.8±2.2 Ma,等时线年龄为204.0±5.0 Ma,表明该区这些岩石直到侏罗纪初才冷却到黑云母和钾长石的K-Ar同位素体系的封闭温度。结合前人关于该区超高压变质作用发生在240Ma的年代学资料,推测该区超高压变质岩在240 Ma到220 Ma期间以3～4 km/Ma的折返速率从地幔(地表以下约80～100 km深处)折返到地壳中下部(约20～30 km深处),220 Ma到213  相似文献

新生代以来,雷琼地区多次、大量地喷发了一系列火山岩。前人主要基于K-Ar法对此划分了期次。本文采用激光40Ar/39Ar年代学方法,对琼北火山岩区进行了精细定年研究。低本底激光40Ar/39Ar法能够对低钾含量,极少量样品(毫克级)进行精细测定,非常适合极年轻火山岩的定年工作。结果显示的火山岩激光40Ar/39Ar法高质量数据表明琼北火山喷发活动时限跨越1.3～0.052Ma。在比较了表观年龄与等时线年龄差异之后,本文给出了年龄推荐值。正如测试数据所显示,本地区新生代火山岩普遍存在40Ar和36Ar过剩的问题,此时只有等时线年龄才代表喷发的真实年龄。  相似文献

北山地区花岗岩类的^40Ar／^39Ar同位素年代学研究     

江思宏  聂凤军 《岩石学报》2006,22(11):2719-2732

首次对北山地区的乌珠尔嘎顺、额勒根、雀儿山、黑鹰山、狼娃山、明水和石板井等花岗岩体开展了高精度~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar同位素年代测定,共分析了10件样品,其中有6件获得了比较可靠的~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar 同位素年龄数据,基本能够代表岩体的侵位年龄,分别为352.3±3.8Ma、271.76±0.88Ma、286.2±3.4Ma、272.0±4.7Ma、294.1±2.9Ma 和255.2±4.1Ma;其他4件样品尽管受后期热扰动较为强烈,但是也能够获得一些有价值的年龄信息。另外,受后期构造-热事件的影响,本文有6件样品发生了不同程度的 Ar 丢失,其中样品 NSS01-13钾长石 Ar 丢失最为严重,不能获得可靠的年龄,其他样品发生 Ar 丢失的时间主要集中在燕山期,少量在印支期。获得的这些~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar 测年数据与已经发表的其他~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar 测年数据记录下了北山地区多期次的构造-岩浆侵入活动事件。根据这些年龄数据,可以将北山地区自海西中期以来的岩浆活动归纳为5个阶段,分别是:①330～360Ma,海西中期花岗岩类侵入活动;②270～310Ma,与西伯利亚、哈萨克斯坦和塔里木三大板块碰撞的时间同期或稍晚的花岗岩类侵入活动;③250～270Ma,明显晚于主碰撞发生的时间,为海西晚期碰撞后花岗岩类侵入活动;④210～250Ma,印支期构造-岩浆活动;⑤169～195Ma,燕山早期岩浆活动。其中270～310Ma 同碰撞期花岗岩类最为发育,分布范围最广。尽管北山地区从前寒武纪到燕山期花岗岩类均有产出,但是规模最大、影响范围最广的岩浆侵入活动发生在海西晚期,反映了海西晚期西伯利亚、哈萨克斯坦和塔里木三大板块碰撞对接的构造事件。印支期和燕山期花岗岩类可能是在统一大陆形成之后由陆内强烈活化形成的。北山地区花岗岩类的高精度年代学测量可以构筑本区花岗岩类时空演化的精细格架,对于重塑本区大地构造演化历史、指导区域金属矿床的寻找具有重要的意义。  相似文献   

40Ar39Ar dating of glauconites: Measured 39Ar recoil loss from well-crystallized specimens     

K.A. Foland  Jeffrey S. Linder  Thomas E. Laskowski  Norman K. Grant 《Chemical Geology》1984,46(3):241-264

Nine glauconite samples with relatively high K concentrations and which appear to be well crystallized using normal X-ray diffraction techniques have been studied using the ${}^{40}\text{Ar}{}^{39}\text{Ar}$ method. The glauconite ${}^{40}\text{Ar}{}^{39}\text{Ar}$ apparent ages exceed their KAr, RbSr and, in most cases, stratigraphic ages by substantial amounts. ${}^{40}\text{Ar}{}^{39}\text{Ar}$ release spectra sometimes yield plateaus but these apparent ages have no geological significance. The results indicate that ³⁹Ar is lost by recoil from mineral grains during neutron irradiation, consistent with previously reported observations. The amount of ³⁹Ar loss was measured by isotope dilution for four samples and varied from 29% to 17%. In contrast, radiogenic ⁴⁰Ar is quantitatively retained during irradiation. The very fine blades which make up glauconite grains yield the mineral susceptible to large amounts of ³⁹Ar loss and unsuitable for ${}^{40}\text{Ar}{}^{39}\text{Ar}$ dating.  相似文献   

Comparison of Conventional K–Ar and Ar/Ar Dating of Young Mafic Volcanic Rocks     

Marvin A. Lanphere 《Quaternary Research》2000,53(3):294

K–Ar and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages have been measured on nine mafic volcanic rocks younger than 1 myr from the Snake River Plain (Idaho), Mount Adams (Washington), and Crater Lake (Oregon). The K–Ar ages were calculated from Ar measurements made by isotope dilution and K₂O measurements by flame photometry. The ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages are incremental-heating experiments using a low-blank resistance-heated furnace. The results indicate that high-quality ages can be measured on young, mafic volcanic rocks using either the K–Ar or the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar technique. The precision of an ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau age generally is better than the precision of a K–Ar age because the plateau age is calculated by pooling the ages of several gas increments. The precision of a plateau age generally is better than the precision of an isotope correlation (isochron) age for the same sample. For one sample the intercept of the isochron yielded an ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar value significantly different from the atmospheric value of 295.5. Recalculation of increment ages using the isochron intercept for the composition of nonradiogenic Ar in the sample resulted in much better agreement of ages for this sample. The results of this study also indicate that, given suitable material and modern equipment, precise K–Ar and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages can be measured on volcanic rocks as young as the latest Pleistocene, and perhaps even the Holocene.  相似文献

Calibration of GA1550 biotite standard for K/Ar and 40Ar/39Ar dating     

Ian McDougall  Peter Wellman 《Chemical Geology》2011,280(1-2):19-25

The mineral separate GA1550 biotite has become an international standard for K/Ar and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating studies, although it was prepared as an intralaboratory standard at ANU to monitor tracer depletion from a gas pipette. It is one of a small number of samples that has been calibrated against ³⁸Ar tracers, some of which had been mixed with known amounts of atmospheric argon, so that a so-called primary calibration has been performed. By measuring GA1550 biotite against additional tracers from the same batch we have determined the radiogenic argon content of this sample as 1.342 (± 0.007) × 10^? 9 mol/g, and together with the measured K content of 7.645 (± 0.050) weight percent, we derive a best estimate for the K/Ar age as 98.5 ± 0.5 Ma, where the error is derived from averaging the ages determined relative to the ³⁸Ar tracer.  相似文献   

Comparison between grain size and multi-mineral Ar/Ar thermochronology     

P. Alexandre 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2011,75(15):4260-4272

In the case of volume diffusion, the closure temperature of a mineral is function of, among other factors, the characteristic diffusion dimension, which can be approximated by the grain size of the mineral analysed for grains smaller than or similar in size to the diffusion domains. The theoretical possibility of single mineral grain size thermochronology had been demonstrated empirically in earlier studies, mostly using biotite. In order to examine the potential of this method, it was tested alongside the widely used multi-mineral ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar thermochronology. The sample comes from the granitic McLean pluton, in the south section of the Grenville orogeny. Seven grain size separates of biotite (ranging between 90 and 1000 μm), eight size fractions of amphibole (between 63 and 1000 μm), and three size fractions of K-feldspar (250-600 μm) were extracted and dated by the laser step-heating ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar method. The total gas ages obtained behave as theoretically predicted, with increasing ages for increasing grain sizes, including for K-feldspar, but with the exception of the smallest and the largest grains for biotite and amphibole. The calculated cooling rates are ca. 0.7 °C/Ma for K-feldspar, ca. 2.5 °C/Ma for biotite, and ca. 11 °C/Ma for amphibole, corresponding very well to a monotonic cooling of the McLean pluton. A quick initial thermal re-equilibration with the cooler host-rocks is followed by a much slower cooling on a thermal path parallel to that of the Frontenac Terrain situated immediately to the southeast. The validity of the single mineral grain size thermochronology is demonstrated by comparison with the thermal evolution of the adjacent units and with the cooling history derived from a multi-mineral thermochronology, suggesting that it can be routinely used. The application of this method can be hampered by insufficiently low analytical uncertainties.  相似文献

Ar loss in experimentally deformed muscovite and biotite with implications for Ar/Ar geochronology of naturally deformed rocks     

Michael Cosca  Holger Stunitz  John P. Lee 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2011,75(24):7759-7778

The effects of deformation on radiogenic argon (⁴⁰Ar^∗) retentivity in mica are described from high pressure experiments performed on rock samples of peraluminous granite containing euhedral muscovite and biotite. Cylindrical cores, ∼15 mm in length and 6.25 mm in diameter, were drilled from granite collected from the South Armorican Massif in northwestern France, loaded into gold capsules, and weld-sealed in the presence of excess water. The samples were deformed at a pressure of 10 kb and a temperature of 600 °C over a period 29 of hours within a solid medium assembly in a Griggs-type triaxial hydraulic deformation apparatus. Overall shortening in the experiments was approximately 10%. Transmitted light and secondary and backscattered electron imaging of the deformed granite samples reveals evidence of induced defects and for significant physical grain size reduction by kinking, cracking, and grain segmentation of the micas.Infrared (IR) laser (CO₂) heating of individual 1.5-2.5 mm diameter grains of muscovite and biotite separated from the undeformed granite yield well-defined ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau ages of 311 ± 2 Ma (2σ). Identical experiments on single grains separated from the experimentally deformed granite yield results indicating ⁴⁰Ar^∗ loss of 0-35% in muscovite and 2-3% ⁴⁰Ar^∗ loss in biotite. Intragrain in situ ultraviolet (UV) laser ablation ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages (±4-10%, 1σ) of deformed muscovites range from 309 ± 13 to 264 ± 7 Ma, consistent with 0-16% ⁴⁰Ar^∗ loss relative to the undeformed muscovite. The in situ UV laser ablation ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages of deformed biotite vary from 301 to 217 Ma, consistent with up to 32% ⁴⁰Ar^∗ loss. No spatial correlation is observed between in situ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age and position within individual grains. Using available argon diffusion data for muscovite the observed ⁴⁰Ar^∗ loss in the experimentally treated muscovite can be utilized to predict average ⁴⁰Ar^∗ diffusion dimensions. Maximum ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages obtained by UV laser ablation overlap those of the undeformed muscovite, indicating argon loss of <1% and an average effective grain radius for ⁴⁰Ar^∗ diffusion ?700 μm. The UV laser ablation and IR laser incremental ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages indicating ⁴⁰Ar^∗ loss of 16% and 35%, respectively, are consistent with an average diffusion radius ?100 μm. These results support a hypothesis of grain-scale ⁴⁰Ar^∗ diffusion distances in undeformed mica and a heterogeneous mechanical reduction in the intragrain effective diffusion length scale for ⁴⁰Ar^∗ in deformed mica. Reduction in the effective diffusion length scale in naturally deformed samples occurs most probably through production of mesoscopic and submicroscopic defects such as, e.g., stacking faults. A network of interconnected defects, continuously forming and annealing during dynamic deformation likely plays an important role in controlling both ⁴⁰Ar^∗ retention and intragrain distribution in deformed mica. Intragrain ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages, when combined with estimates of diffusion kinetics and distances, may provide a means of establishing thermochronological histories from individual micas.  相似文献   

Intercalibration of the Hb3gr Ar/Ar dating standard     

Fred Jourdan  Chrystele Verati 《Chemical Geology》2006,231(3):177-189

The ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating technique is based on the knowledge of the age of neutron fluence monitors (standards). Recent investigations have improved the accuracy and precision of the ages of most of the Phanerozoic-aged standards (e.g. Fish Canyon Tuff sanidine (FCs), Alder Creek sanidine, GA1550 biotite and LP-6 biotite); however, no specific study has been undertaken on the older standards (i.e. Hb3gr hornblende and NL-25 hornblende) generally used to date Precambrian, high Ca/K, and/or meteoritic rocks.In this study, we show that Hb3gr hornblende is relatively homogenous in age, composition (Ca/K) and atmospheric contamination at the single grain level. The mean standard deviation of the ⁴⁰Ar^?/³⁹Ar_K (F-value) derived from this study is 0.49%, comparable to the most homogeneous standards. The intercalibration factor (which allows direct comparison between standards) between Hb3gr and FCs is R_FCs^Hb3gr = 51.945 ± 0.167. Using an age of 28.02 Ma for FCs, the age of Hb3gr derived from the R-value is 1073.6 ± 5.3 Ma (1σ; internal error only) and ± 8.8 Ma (including all sources of error). This age is indistinguishable within uncertainty from the K/Ar age previously reported at 1072 ± 11 Ma [Turner G., Huneke, J.C., Podosek, F.A., Wasserburg, G.J., 1971. ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar ages and cosmic ray exposure ages of Apollo 14 samples. Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 12, 19-35].The R-value determined in this study can also be used to intercalibrate FCs if we consider the K/Ar date of 1072 Ma as a reference age for Hb3gr. We derive an age of 27.95 ± 0.19 Ma (1σ; internal error only) for FCs which is in agreement with the previous determinations. Altogether, this shows that Hb3gr is a suitable standard for ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar geochronology.  相似文献
