ABSTRACT

Ophiolite assemblages of the South Tianshan fold-and-thrust-belt (STS) track the sea floor dynamics of the late Cambrian to Carboniferous Turkestan Ocean in the western Central Asian Orogenic Belt. We interpret new geochronological and geochemical data for the Mailisu ophiolite from western Kyrgyzstan as evidence for an early Silurian incipient subduction zone outboard the South Chatkal Arc of the Middle Tianshan. Igneous zircons from a leucogabbro yielded a U-Pb age of 440 ± 6 Ma indicating one of the oldest sea floor fragments in the STS. Metabasalt samples have N- to E-MORB trace element patterns and initial ε_Nd values of ~5 to 9 support melting of depleted asthenosphere comprising a minor OIB component. Cross-cutting diabase dykes show geochemical characteristics of high-Ca basaltic boninites. Their low REE abundances and highly fractionated middle-heavy REE patterns indicate sources that were more melt-depleted than those of the metabasalts. Concave upwards LREE patterns are compatible with a residual peridotite source, fertilised by small-degree OIB-like melts with ε_Nd of ~5 to 6. Positive Ba, Sr, and Pb anomalies support the involvement of slab-derived hydrous fluids that probably facilitated the melting of the residual mantle. The association of MORB-like metabasalts with younger dykes of boninite affinity suggests subduction initiation for the origin of the Mailisu ophiolite. Our data elucidate one of the major yet little understood episodes in the Paleozoic history of the Turkestan Ocean. Future identification of similar rock assemblages will be helpful to understand the insufficiently constrained history of ocean floor subduction in the Paleozoic Oceans of the western CAOB.  相似文献   

Petrology, geochemistry and paleogeographic reconstruction of the East Sulawesi Ophiolite, Indonesia

The East Sulawesi Ophiolite (ESO) is tectonically dismembered and widely distributed in Central and East Sulawesi. It comprises, from base to top, residual mantle peridotite and mafic–ultramafic cumulate through layered to isotropic gabbro, to sheeted dolerites and basaltic volcanic rocks. Residual peridotite is dominantly spinel lherzolite intercalated with harzburgite and dunite. Ultramafic rocks from different locations display significant differences in rock composition and mineral. However, the clinopyroxene of peridotite displays REE pattern similarities with those of mid-ocean ridge (MOR) origin, rather than those of suprasubduction zone (SSZ) origin. The gabbroic unit consists of massive gabbro, layered gabbro, mafic and ultramafic cumulate and anorthosite. The observed crystallization sequence of gabbroic unit, which is olivine→(spinel)→plagioclase→clinopyroxene→(orthopyroxene)→(hornblende), and the mineral chemistry data indicate that the ESO gabbro has similarities with MOR setting.Major and trace element geochemistry of basalt and dolerite suggests MOR, oceanic plateau and minor SSZ origins. A possible oceanic plateau origin is supported by the following: (i) the 15-km thickness is comparable with the thickness of oceanic plateau rather than normal oceanic lithosphere; (ii) there are no or only minor olivine phenocrysts in the basalt; and (iii) predominance of aphyric texture in the basalts. The REE pattern of ESO basalt exhibits N-MORB-like signatures. However, a negative Nb anomaly in the trace element spider diagram may be attributed to mantle heterogeneity of an OPB source.The geochemical variations and disparities for both peridotite and basalt and the noncogenetic relationship between crust and mantle sections in several locations suggest that the ESO may have been formed at one tectonic setting and was later overprinted by magmatism in different environments through its birth to emplacement. A possible Cretaceous origin of an oceanic plateau component of the ESO is indicated on the basis of calculated paleopositions using plate trajectory analyses together with previously published paleolatitude data. The ESO can be traced back to the proximity of the presently active region of the SW Pacific Superplume.  相似文献

青藏高原北部东昆仑德尔尼蛇绿岩由变质橄榄岩、基性超基性堆晶岩、辉绿岩墙群和基性喷出岩组成。变质橄榄岩主要为纯橄岩、方辉橄榄岩、二辉橄榄岩、含长二辉橄榄岩和含石榴石二辉橄榄岩,岩石中残余尖晶石的Cr’值(=100×Cr/(Cr+Al))为30～57,Mg’值(=100×Mg/(Mg+Fe2+))为50～75,指示一个富Al和Mg成分系列。变质橄榄岩有一个相对窄的成分,其Mg’值为89.1～91.3,Al2O3含量1%～4%,REE轻度亏损,表明其为经历了中、低程度部分熔融的残余地幔物质。含石榴石二辉橄榄岩中的石榴石为钙铁榴石,富Ca和Fe,贫Mg和Al(And95%～97%,Pyr0.27%～5.06%,Gro0～2.62%),为变质成因。堆晶岩包括纯橄岩、异剥橄榄岩、(石榴石)辉石岩和辉长岩。堆晶纯橄岩与层状杂岩伴生,偶含少量斜长石。异剥橄榄岩由橄榄石、透辉石和少量斜长石组成。层状辉长岩-辉石岩杂岩由透辉石和斜长石组成,两种矿物交替形成层状堆积层理。石榴石辉石岩或异剥钙榴岩呈团块状产于变质橄榄岩中,其中的石榴石为钙铝榴石(Gro69.19%～89.93%;And9.12%～18.84%;Br0.73%～11.63%),也属变质成因。辉绿岩墙显示LREE亏损,(La/Sm)N=0.5～0.8,HREE呈近平坦型分布,Eu正异常(δEu1.2～1.6)。玄武岩的REE模式与MORB类似,(La/Sm)N=0.5～0.9,显示不同程度的Eu负异常。熔  相似文献   

也谈铙钹寨超镁铁岩体的成因和构造类型的归属问题   总被引：3，自引：2，他引：3

铙钹寨岩体是一个遭受角闪岩相一麻粒岩相变质作用改造的超镁铁岩体。由于其变质程度的不均一性，一部分仍保留着原地幔橄榄岩的基本特征（如粗粒，具三联点结构和熔融残余结构的方辉橄榄岩和纯橄岩）。另一部分则表现明显的重结现象，原地幔橄榄岩类的基本特征已部分或全部消失，形成以出现不同数量的新生矿物组合为特征的变橄榄岩类（以细粒变纯橄岩和似斑状角闪方辉橄榄岩为代表）。恢复其原岩，该岩体由纯橄岩（极少）、方辉橄榄岩（为主）和二辉橄榄岩组成。但在纯橄岩一方辉橄榄岩组合与二辉橄榄岩组合两者之间在成分上显示一个明显的间断。前者以贫Al（Al2O3含量〈1％）、Ca（CaO含量〈1％）、Ti（TiO，含量〈0．05％）和富Mg（Mg^#=92—93）为特征。其主要矿物Ol和Opx均属富镁橄榄石（Fo92-93）和顽火辉石（En92～93）。后者则相对富Al（Al2O3含量由3.36％～3．75％）、Ca（CaO含量由2．07％-3．15％）、Ti（TiO2 0．1％～0．12％）和相对低镁（Mg^#=89—90）为特征。其主要造岩矿物Ol和Opx属相对低Mg的镁橄榄石（F090）和顽火辉石（En89～90）。副矿物尖晶石具有多期熔融的复杂成因，但其成分区及趋势显示蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩所常见的双频分布（bimodal distribution）特征。综合研究表明该两套地幔岩原岩组合代表了不同亏损程度和不同构造环境下多期熔融的地幔残余。以方辉橄榄岩（和少量纯橄岩）为代表，并伴有豆荚状铬铁矿化及其特征的瘤状矿石的产出背景，标志其遭受较高的部分熔融程度，可能代表产于洋内俯冲带之上（Supra—Subduetion zone）亲弧环境的上地幔残余，带有SSZ型蛇绿岩的某些印记。二辉橄榄岩可能代表来自MOR环境下，弱亏损的上地幔残余岩片。故该岩体超镁铁岩不具有大陆地幔橄榄岩的成因性质。  相似文献

经过20多年的努力,中国蛇绿岩研究已取得了不少成绩。今后的研究工作中,应强调对中国典型蛇绿岩的研究,即结合我国的地质背景,以构造、岩石、地球化学互相配合,进行多学科、多手段的“立典式”研究;重视对蛇绿岩岩浆成因的研究,进而探索地球深部地幔过程与板块扩张机制;深入挖掘蛇绿岩各岩石单元中
所赋含的信息,为板块运动学和动力学提供更合理的解释;而对前寒武纪蛇绿岩的研究,尚处于探索阶段,宜十分谨慎。  相似文献

1982—1983年间,作者在改则幅和日土幅1:100万区域地质调查中,发现在黑头山—冈玛错—角木日—双湖一带,存在严重解体的蛇绿岩带。后经进一步工作,获悉该带明显地控制了冈瓦纳相和特提斯相石炭、二叠系的分布,并有高压变质带的岩石出露。因此,该带为一条北西西—南东东向的板块缝合带,它应是目前国内外地质界都在寻找的冈瓦纳大陆的北界。  相似文献   

Delineation of a large ultramafic massif embedded within a major SW Pacific suture using gravity methods     

Helen A. Williams  John Cassidy  Corinne A. Locke  K. Bernhard Sprli 《Tectonophysics》2006,424(1-2):119-133

Gravity studies have delineated the largest ultramafic massif in New Zealand, embedded within a buried major SW Pacific crustal suture zone. This suture records terrane collision onto the Gondwana margin during the Mesozoic and separates a forearc terrane from an outboard accretionary prism terrane. It can be traced throughout the length of New Zealand as the Junction Magnetic Anomaly and contains the Permian Dun Mountain Ophiolite Belt, which in the South Island of New Zealand is characterized by a string of isolated ultramafic massifs in a sheared matrix of serpentinite and sediment. Our analysis reveals a steep gravity gradient at the suture boundary which is attributed to a newly recognised density contrast (0.1 Mg m^− 3) between terranes of the forearc and the accretionary prism. The massif itself is marked by the occurrence of a strong, elongate residual gravity anomaly (+ 120 g.u.) extending 50 km along the suture and coincident with the Junction Magnetic Anomaly. It is modelled, at its southern end, as a dense, 15 km wide source body, extending to at least 6 km in depth. In conjunction with detailed aeromagnetic data, this modeling indicates the presence of a spindle-shaped ultramafic massif, analogous to, but larger than similar bodies found within the Dun Mountain Ophiolite Belt elsewhere. This fabric of sheared serpentinites enclosing ultramafic massifs therefore extends at least the length of New Zealand and probably beyond. In part it may result from accretion of asperities in the subducting plate, but it is also due to disruption of larger ultramafic bodies during subsequent strike-slip motion, which caused the remarkable linearity of the Dun Mountain Belt. Given the common occurrence of the plate tectonic processes involved, it is likely that such structures can be found in other regions around the world using similar geophysical potential field methods.  相似文献   

Re-Os同位素体系在蛇绿岩应用研究中的进展   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：2  

史仁灯  支霞臣陈雷 丁炳华 《岩石学报》2006,22(6):1685-1695

Re-Os不同于由亲石元素构成的同位素体系，在原始上地幔（PUN）部分熔融过程中，母体Re是中等不相容元素，优先进入熔体相，子体Os是强相容元素，富集在残留相中，是研究蛇绿岩的极好示踪剂。在蛇绿岩应用研究中已经取得了4个方面的进展：（1）明确了熔体相的Re／Os和^187Os／^188Os比值高，而残留相的低；（2）铬铁矿中铂族元素矿物（PGM）的Re亏损年龄（TRD）证实了蛇绿岩中复杂的超镁铁岩体是多阶段部分熔融的产物；（3）现代大洋橄榄岩和玄武岩的Re-Os同位素研究表明熔体相和残留相的^187Os／^188Os比值在高于亏损地幔值（DMM）的部分是一致的，而低于DMM的存在不一致性，为研究蛇绿岩中熔体相与残留相是否存在“耦合”关系提供了新的制约因素；（4）揭示了蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩中含有古大陆岩石圈地幔，这是前所未知的。虽然取得了不少进展，但是由于Re-Os同位素体系用于蛇绿岩研究的时间较短，尚存在一些问题，如显生宙蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩的定年问题，有待进一步深化研究。  相似文献   

新疆东准噶尔克拉麦里蛇绿岩地球化学：洋脊俯冲的产物   总被引：5，自引：5，他引：5

新疆东准噶尔克拉麦里蛇绿岩中的镁铁质岩兼具有洋中脊玄武岩(MORB)和岛弧拉斑玄武岩(IAB)的特征,岩石地球化学特征表现为轻稀土(LREE)亏损、平坦或略微富集,不同程度地亏损高场强元素(HFSE)而富集大离子亲石元素(LILE),成分上非常相似于受洋脊俯冲影响的 Chile Ridge 和 Cocos Ridge 玄武岩。可以认为其可能形成于受洋脊俯冲影响的岛弧或弧前扩张环境。相对较高的ε_(Nd)(t)(7.2～9.8)、低 Nb/Zr、Ta/Yb 比值,说明在洋脊俯冲的影响下,其源区可能存在有至少三种组分:弧下地幔、来自消减板片流体和俯冲沉积物、MORB 地幔。  相似文献
