Paleoproterozoic UHT metamorphism with isobaric cooling (IBC) followed by decompression–heating in the Khondalite Belt (North China Craton): New evidence from two sapphirine formation processes     

Shujuan Jiao  Jinghui Guo 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》2020,38(4):357-378

Interpretation of reaction microstructures may provide constraints on the P–T path followed by rocks, with implications for the geodynamic evolution. Sapphirine generally occurs in diverse microstructures in ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) Mg–Al-rich granulites. Understanding multi-stage sapphirine formation processes and the resultant P–T path may provide insights into the cause of UHT metamorphism, which is otherwise under broad debate. Here, we investigate samples of UHT granulite containing two distinct types of sapphirine from the Dongpo locality in the Khondalite Belt, North China Craton, with the aim of understanding the processes of sapphirine formation and the metamorphic evolution of the host rocks. Petrographic observations show that early sapphirine, which occurs as coronas on spinel and as single porphyroblasts, formed together with biotite, sillimanite, and inclusion-rich garnet. Late symplectitic sapphirine along with fine-grained plagioclase and spinel plus plagioclase symplectites, formed by consumption of sillimanite, biotite, and garnet. Three pseudosections based on the bulk compositions of microdomains inferred to reflect spatially restricted equilibrium suggest that the rocks record near isobaric cooling (IBC) from ~980 to 830ºC at ~0.9 GPa for early sapphirine formation, and decompression and heating to ≤0.7 GPa and ~900ºC for late sapphirine formation. Our study in combination with other metamorphic P–T and age information reveals the common occurrence of IBC paths and long duration (c. 1.93 to 1.86 Ga) regional UHT metamorphism in the Khondalite Belt, North China Craton. Locally, this is followed by decompression–heating paths at c. 1.86 Ga. The Palaeoproterozoic UHT metamorphism with long-lived IBC path in the Khondalite Belt, North China Craton supports large hot orogen model in the amalgamation of this part in the supercontinent Nuna.  相似文献   

Ultra‐high temperature metamorphism recorded in Fe‐rich olivine‐bearing migmatite from the Khondalite Belt,North China Craton          下载免费PDF全文

We document the first occurrence of Fe‐rich olivine‐bearing migmatitic metapelite in the Khondalite Belt, North China Craton. Petrological analyses revealed two exotic assemblages of orthopyroxene+spinel+olivine and orthopyroxene+spinel+cordierite. Phase relation modelling suggests that these assemblages are diagnostic of ultra‐high temperature (UHT) metamorphism in the Fe‐rich system, with temperatures from 1,000 to 1,050°C at 0.6 GPa. U–Th–Pb SIMS analyses on zircon reveal a similar age of c. 1.92 Ga for the olivine‐bearing migmatite and an adjacent gabbronoritic intrusion that is therefore identified as the heat source for the UHT metamorphism. These results, coupled with additional analysis of the famous Tuguiwula sapphirine‐bearing granulite, lead to a re‐appraisal of the P–T path shape and heat source for the UHT metamorphism. We suggest that UHT metamorphism, dated between 1.92 and 1.88 Ga, across the whole Khondalite belt, proceeded from a clockwise P–T evolution with an initial near‐isobaric heating path at ~0.6–0.8 GPa, and a maximum temperature of 1,050°C followed by a cooling path with minor decompression to ~0.5 GPa. Considering our results and previous works, we propose that the orogenic crust underwent partial melting at temperature reaching 850°C and depth of ~20 to ~30 km during a period of c. 30 Ma, between 1.93 and 1.90 Ga. During this time span, the partially molten crust was continuously intruded by mafic magma pulses responsible for local greater heat supply and UHT metamorphism above 1,000°C. We propose that the UHT metamorphism in the Khondalite belt is not related to an extensional post‐collisional event, but is rather syn‐orogenic and associated with mafic magma supplies.  相似文献   

Persistent evidence of a jovian mass solar companion in the Oort cloud     

John J. Matese  Daniel P. Whitmire 《Icarus》2011,211(2):926-938

We present updated dynamical and statistical analyses of outer Oort cloud cometary evidence suggesting that the Sun has a wide-binary jovian mass companion. The results support a conjecture that there exists a companion of mass ≈ orbiting in the innermost region of the outer Oort cloud. Our most restrictive prediction is that the orientation angles of the orbit plane in galactic coordinates are centered on Ω, the galactic longitude of the ascending node = 319° and i, the galactic inclination = 103° (or the opposite direction) with an uncertainty in the orbit normal direction subtending <2% of the sky. Such a companion could also have produced the detached Kuiper Belt object Sedna. If the object exists, the absence of similar evidence in the inner Oort cloud implies that common beliefs about the origin of observed inner Oort cloud comets must be reconsidered. Evidence of the putative companion would have been recorded by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) which has completed its primary mission and is continuing on secondary objectives.  相似文献

Noriyuki INADA  Shigeyuki SUZUKI  Keisuke ISHIDA  Shinji YAMASHITA 《地球学报》2012,33(S1):24-24

The study area is located in Kawakami-cho, Okayama Prefecture, which is occupied by Lower Carboniferous to Middle Permian Ko-yama Limestone Group (Yokoyama et al., 1979), Permian Yoshii Group (Sano et al., 1987) and Triassic Nariwa Group (Tera-oka, 1959). The Nariwa Group unconformably covers the Paleozoic successions (Otoh, 1985). These succes-sions belong to the Akiyoshi Belt. The Ko-yama Limestone Group is composed mainly of massive limestone, with basic volcanic rocks, acidic tuff and chert. The group was dated by foraminifer and fusu-linid as Lower Carboniferous to Middle Permian (Yo-koyama et al., 1979).  相似文献   

西南日本秋吉带石炭系高山(Ko-yama)灰岩群的石炭纪(Visean – Moscovian)牙形石序列     

Keisuke ISHIDA  Sigeyuki SUZUKI  Noriyuki INADA  Shinji YAMASHITA 《地球学报》2012,33(S1):25-28

The Carboniferous conodont faunal succession of the lower part of Ko-yama Limestone Group was studied. The confirmed upper Visean–lower Moscovian lithostratigraphy of the group is characterized by the clastic carbonates with common association of the basaltic pyroclastics and some intercalation of spicular chert beds. The faunal succession of Gnathodus semiglaber (upper Visean), Gnathodus praebilineatus – Lochriea multinodosa (upper Visean), Lochriea ziegleri – Gnathodus girtyi girtyi s.l. (lower Serpukhovian), Neoganthodus symmetricus – Idiognathodus primulus (middle – upper Bashkirian), and Idiognathoides convexus – Gondolella clarki (lower Moscovian) faunas, appears in concordance with the lithostratigraphic order. The faunas are correlative with those from the conodont zones of the Hina, Atetsu, Akiyoshi and Omi limestone groups in the Akiyoshi Belt. The Visean/Serpukhovian boundary of the section was recognized by the FAD of Lochriea ziegleri.  相似文献   

塔东地区褶皱构造精细分析及油气勘探方向   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

塔东地区存在四种褶皱构造类型:应变型主要发育于满加尔凹陷中央,劈理型主要发育于满加尔凹陷和英吉苏凹陷的斜坡部位,张裂型主要发育在阿尔金山前的塔南隆起和天山山前的塔北隆起,剪裂型主要发育于阿尔金山脉、天山山脉的山前地带。塔东地区发育有加里东—海西期、印支—燕山期以及喜马拉雅期三期构造中和面的叠加。喜马拉雅期形成的新中和面对之前的古中和面具有改造作用,它是控制油气聚集的重要界面。本区早古生代是剧烈下沉的拗拉槽,晚古生代—三叠纪是急剧抬升的古隆起,本区实际上是在残余古隆起上找油找气。古隆起的上中和面地层大多被严重剥蚀,而所残留的下中和面不是油气聚集有利区。认为有些钻井在背斜下中和面获得残留油气流,预示着相邻的向斜下中和面斜坡区构造-岩性油气藏可能成为本区的有利勘探方向。上震旦统、中—上寒武统、下奥陶统蓬莱坝组中的三套白云岩以及志留系和侏罗系碎屑岩是塔东地区的有利勘探目标。  相似文献   

长江中下游成矿带抛刀岭金矿裂变径迹研究及大地构造意义   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

抛刀岭金矿位于长江中下游成矿带中的安庆-贵池矿集区,是长江中下游多金属成矿带中首次发现的斑岩型独立金矿床。通过磷灰石裂变径迹研究分析区内的构造演化特征,裂变径迹长度处于11.9±1.8μm和13.2±1.6μm之间,表明样品在后期受构造热事件的影响,样品长时间处于退火带温度,长度直方图总体呈现单峰特征,受隆升冷却作用控制明显。通过对同组年龄(x2检验值>5%)和混合年龄(x2检验值<5%)进行分析,所测年龄位于123Ma和19Ma之间,可以将年龄分为5组:123.0Ma,107Ma,86Ma,52Ma,19Ma。裂变径迹热历史可以分为4个时期:缓慢冷却期,从150～90Ma;快速冷却期,从90Ma至65～58Ma;缓慢冷却期,从65～58Ma至18～12Ma;快速降温期,从18～12Ma至今。自中侏罗世以来,江南隆起带受控于太平洋板块构造,太平洋板块在不同时期有着不同的活动,其运移方向和活动强度直接控制着中国东部的构造演化。研究地区所测裂变径迹年龄划分时代与太平洋形成后不同产状洋岛链出现的时代吻合,热历史模拟结果和太平洋板块不同期次活动相关。通过热历史模拟和构造分析,可推测热历史不同阶段的形成是不同时期太平洋板块运动的结果,样品混合年龄亦证明了构造活动的多期次性。可以推断贵池地区自白垩纪以来的构造运动与太平洋构造带活动密切相关,其多期构造演化是对太平洋板块活动的响应。  相似文献   

Geochemistry of hornblende gabbros from Sonidzuoqi,Inner Mongolia,North China: implications for magmatism during the final stage of suprasubduction‐zone ophiolite formation     

《International Geology Review》2012,54(4):345-373

Allochthonous hornblende‐rich gabbroic rocks at Sonidzuoqi constitute important components of the early to middle Palaeozoic orogen, which forms the southeastern part of the Central Asian orogenic belt in Inner Mongolia. Limited hornblende K–Ar and SHRIMP U–Pb zircon ages document the Late Silurian to Early Devonian gabbroic emplacement. The rocks are tholeiitic and are characterized by moderate large‐ion‐lithophile‐element (e.g. Th, U) abundances, high‐field‐strength‐element (e.g. Nb, Ta, Zr, Ti) depletions, high Ti/V ratios, and MORB‐like isotopic signatures [(⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i≈0.7030 to 0.7042; ε_Nd(t)≈+4.35 to +7.80, (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb)_i≈17.46 to 17.61]. These features argue for a hydrous basaltic parental magma. We postulate that the melt formed through the coupling of MORB‐type mantle upwelling with aqueous fluid influx derived from slab devolatilization. This petrogenetic scenario suggests that an active spreading centre entered the trench during ridge subduction, bringing to a close an episode of suprasubduction‐zone ophiolite formation. The Siluro‐Devonian hornblende gabbros, together with a pre‐490 Ma ophiolitic mélange of MORB‐OIB affinity, ～483–471 Ma arc intrusions, ～498–461 Ma trondhjemite‐tonalite‐granodiorite plutons, and ～427–423 Ma calc‐alkaline granites from the same area, provide documentation of multistage crustal generation processes during the life cycle of this suprasubduction‐zone ophiolite.  相似文献   

Occurrence of an Alaskan-type complex in the Middle Tianshan Massif,Central Asian Orogenic Belt: inferences from petrological and mineralogical studies     

《International Geology Review》2012,54(3):249-269

The Xiadong mafic–ultramafic complex lies in the central part of the Middle Tianshan Massif (MTM), along the southern margin of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). This complex is composed of dunite, hornblende (Hbl) clinopyroxenite, hornblendite, and Hbl gabbro. These rocks are characterized by adcumulated textures and variable alteration. Orthopyroxene is an extremely rare mineral in all rock units and plagioclase is absent in dunite and Hbl clinopyroxenite. Hbl, Fe-chromite, and Cr-magnetite are common phases. Olivines have forsterite (Fo) contents ranging from 92.3 to 96.6. Clinopyroxenes are Ca-rich, Ti-poor diopsides, and mostly altered to tremolites or actinolites. Chromites display low TiO₂ and Al₂O₃ contents and high Cr# and Fe²⁺/(Fe²⁺ + Mg) values. Primary and secondary Hbls show wide compositional variations. These petrological and mineralogical features as well as mineral chemistry are comparable to typical Alaskan-type complexes worldwide, which are widely considered to have formed above subduction zones. The chemistry of clinopyroxene and chromite supports an arc plate-tectonic origin for the Xiadong complex. Its confirmation as an Alaskan-type complex implies that the MTM, with Precambrian basement, was probably a continental arc during oceanic plate underflow and further supports the hypothesis of southward subduction of the Palaeozoic Junggar Ocean.  相似文献
