The peri‐Arabian ophiolite belt, from Cyprus in the west, eastward through Northwest Syria, Southeast Turkey, Northeast Iraq, Southwest Iran, and into Oman, marks a 3000 km‐long convergent margin that formed during a Late Cretaceous (ca 100 Ma) episode of subduction initiation on the north side of Neotethys. The Zagros ophiolites of Iran are part of this belt and are divided into Outer (OB) and Inner (IB) Ophiolitic Belts. We here report the first Nd–Hf isotopic study of this ophiolite belt, focusing on the Dehshir ophiolite (a part of IB). Our results confirm the Indian mid‐oceanic ridge basalt (MORB) mantle domain origin for the Dehshir mafic and felsic igneous rocks. All lavas have similar Hf isotopic compositions, but felsic dikes have significantly less‐radiogenic Nd isotopic compositions compared to mafic lavas. Elevated Th/Nb and Th/Yb in felsic samples accompany nonradiogenic Nd, suggesting the involvement of sediments or continental crust.  相似文献

中国广泛分布有不同时期的蛇绿岩。相对于全球一些大型蛇绿岩铬铁矿床(如 Kempirsai,Bulquiza,Guleman 等), 我国同期蛇绿岩中赋存的铬铁矿床规模都较小(如萨尔托海,东巧,罗布莎等)。近年来的研究认识到绝大多数成矿的蛇绿 岩都形成于俯冲带上覆岩石圈。熔 - 岩反应是目前用来解释豆荚状铬铁矿成因的流行假说,但仍然不能解释铬元素的有效 富集过程——即铬铁矿矿床的形成过程。高铬含量是岛弧玄武岩原始岩浆的特征,但与成矿要求的铬含量相差甚远;岛弧 原始玄武岩浆结晶出富铬尖晶石,有利于成矿,但这个岩浆演化和相平衡过程仍然难以造就具有工业意义的矿体、矿床。 那么存在形成富铬熔体的机制吗?又如何运移这些富铬熔体并集中结晶成矿?这些仍然是豆荚状铬铁矿成因的关键问题, 有待于进一步思考研究。  相似文献   

Tethyan ophiolites and Pangea break-up   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

Valerio  Bortolotti  Gianfranco  Principi 《Island Arc》2005,14(4):442-470

Abstract The break‐up of Pangea began during the Triassic and was preceded by a generalized Permo‐Triassic formation of continental rifts along the future margins between Africa and Europe, between Africa and North America, and between North and South America. During the Middle–Late Triassic, an ocean basin cutting the eastern equatorial portion of the Pangea opened as a prograding branch of the Paleotethys or as a new ocean (the Eastern Tethys); westwards, continental rift basins developed. The Western Tethys and Central Atlantic began to open only during the Middle Jurassic. The timing of the break‐up can be hypothesized from data from the oceanic remnants of the peri‐Mediterranean and peri‐Caribbean regions (the Mesozoic ophiolites) and from the Atlantic ocean crust. In the Eastern Tethys, Middle–Late Triassic mid‐oceanic ridge basalt (MORB) ophiolites, Middle–Upper Jurassic MORB, island arc tholeiite (IAT) supra‐subduction ophiolites and Middle–Upper Jurassic metamorphic soles occur, suggesting that the ocean drifting was active from the Triassic to the Middle Jurassic. The compressive phases, as early as during the Middle Jurassic, were when the drifting was still active and caused the ocean closure at the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary and, successively, the formation of the orogenic belts. The present scattering of the ophiolites is a consequence of the orogenesis: once the tectonic disturbances are removed, the Eastern Tethys ophiolites constitute a single alignment. In the Western Tethys only Middle–Upper Jurassic MORB ophiolites are present – this was the drifting time. The closure began during the Late Cretaceous and was completed during the Eocene. Along the area linking the Western Tethys to the Central Atlantic, the break‐up was realized through left lateral wrench movements. In the Central Atlantic – the link between the Western Tethys and the Caribbean Tethys – the drifting began at the same time and is still continuing. The Caribbean Tethys opened probably during the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous. The general picture rising from the previous data suggest a Pangea break‐up rejuvenating from east to west, from the Middle–Late Triassic to the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous.  相似文献   

Stratigraphy and radiolarians of upper cretaceous sedimentary cover of the Arakapas ophiolite massif (Cyprus)     

L. G. Bragina  N. Yu. Bragin 《Stratigraphy and Geological Correlation》2006,14(5):507-523

In the basal interval, sedimentary cover of the Arakapas ophiolite massif (southern Cyprus) is composed of metalliferous sediments of the Perapedhi Formation that is divided into three sequences based on diverse radiolarian assemblages. These are basal umbers of the Cenomanian age presumably (2–20 m), interlayering cherts and umbers of the Turonian-Coniacian (6–10 m), and opoka-like cherts of the Coniacian-Santonian. Higher in the succession, there are olistostrome deposits of the Moni Formation, which unconformably rest on the eroded underlying strata. In this formation also divisible into three sequences, the lower one 200 to 300 m thick is composed of variegated, presumably Campanian silty clays containing olistoliths of basic, presumably Upper Triassic volcanics, Lower Cretaceous sandstones, and opoka-like cherts and cherty limestones of the Albian-lower Cenomanian. Next sequence (100–200 m) is represented by alternation of variegated silty and green bentonitic clays of the Campaian, which enclose frequent olistoliths and horizons of fine-clastic olistostrome breccias. The upper sequence of upper Campanian-lower Maastrichtian bentonitic clays (50–100 m) contains interlayers of ash tuffs and clayey cherty sediments. Carbonate deposits of the upper Maastrichtian-Paleogene, conformably overlie the Moni Formation.  相似文献   

西藏嘉黎断裂带凯蒙蛇绿岩的年代学、地球化学特征及大地构造意义   总被引：10，自引：7，他引：10

凯蒙蛇绿岩主要分布于嘉黎断裂内凯蒙沟两侧的东西向山脊上,沿嘉黎断裂带呈东西向线状分布,组成蛇绿岩的岩石类型主要有纯橄岩、方辉橄榄岩、单辉橄榄岩、橄辉岩、橄长岩和辉长岩等。蛇绿岩具有贫硅、贫碱、低钛,而富铁、镁的特点。稀土总量很低,∑REE值变化于0．415×10~(-6)～3．273×10~(-6)之间,其中方辉橄榄岩和橄长岩的轻稀土略有富集,而单辉橄榄岩和辉长岩的轻稀土略有亏损,所有岩石都具明显的正铕异常。辉长岩的Th-Ta比值大体相等,显示蛇绿岩形成于洋中脊构造环境,而在原始地幔标准化配分曲线上具有明显的Rb、Ba、Sr低度富集和Nb的相对亏损,显示岛弧(IAT)特点,这种兼具IAT和MORB地球化学特点特征预示着凯蒙蛇绿岩形成于不成熟弧后盆地环境。蛇绿岩中橄长岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为218．2±4．6Ma,说明在晚三叠世时期洋壳就已出现。凯蒙蛇绿岩的确定表明嘉黎断裂在早期(T_3-J_1)可能是冈底斯构造带上的一条重要缝合带。  相似文献   

Westward younging disposition of Philippine ophiolites and its implication for arc evolution     

Graciano P.  Yumul Jr 《Island Arc》2007,16(2):306-317

Abstract   The different ophiolite complexes in the Philippine island arc system define a progressive younging direction westward. This resulted from the clockwise rotation of the Philippine island arc system during its north-westward translation in the Eocene resulting in its western boundary colliding with the Sundaland–Eurasian margin. As a consequence of this interaction, ophiolite complexes and mélanges accreted into the Philippine island arc system along its western side. A new ophiolite zonation with four belts is proposed that takes into consideration the observed spatial and temporal relationships of the exposed oceanic lithosphere slices. With progressive younging from east to west, Belt 1 corresponds to Late Cretaceous complete ophiolite complexes with associated metamorphic soles along the eastern Philippines, whereas Belt 2 includes Early to Late Cretaceous dismembered ultramafic-mafic complexes with mélanges exposed mainly west of eastern Philippines. Belt 3 is defined by Cretaceous through Eocene to Oligocene ophiolite complexes emplaced along the collision zone between the Philippine Mobile Belt and the Sundaland–Eurasian margin. Belt 4 corresponds to the ophiolite complexes emplaced along continental margins as exposed in the Palawan and Zamboanga–Sulu areas. This proposed zonation hints that the whole Philippine Mobile Belt, except for the strike-slip fault bounded Eocene Zambales ophiolite complex in Luzon, is underlain by Cretaceous proto-Philippine Sea Plate fragments. This is contrary to the previous models that consider only the eastern margin of the Philippines to contain proto-Philippine Sea Plate materials.  相似文献
