神农架群被认为是除天津蓟县剖面外,我国出露相对最好的中元古界。由于其大致形成于1400～1000 Ma,故普遍被看好作为中国地层表中1320～1000 Ma时期地层记录缺失的候选层型剖面。尽管近年来神农架群的年代地层学、沉积学、古生物(叠层石形成与分布)及古海洋地球化学等方面研究进展显著,但有关神农架群的划分仍未达成共识。本文在神农架上前寒武系专题研究及神农架1：20万填图划分方案基础上,通过近十余年来对神农架群系统综合研究,重新厘定了神农架群层序。研究认为,神农架群由下至上可划分为下、中、上3个亚群,下亚群由下至上为鹰窝洞组、大岩坪组、马槽园组、乱石沟组、大窝坑组及矿石山组;中亚群包括台子组、野马河组、温水河组和石槽河组;上亚群则为下部送子园组与上部瓦岗溪组。神农架群的上述划分和层序厘定充分结合了神农架群同位素年代学、沉积地质演化、叠层石形态类型及旋回性发育特征、同位素与元素地球化学异常等特征和发育规律。本文是近10年来神农架群研究进展的总结,尽管神农架群目前已具备了建立待建系候选层型的基本条件,但其尚缺少顶界与底界层位年龄,也未见到下伏地层或基底,未来还需进一步开展综合研究。  相似文献   

Evolution of a crustal-scale transpressive shear zone in the Albany–Fraser Orogen, SW Australia: 1. P–T conditions of Mesoproterozoic metamorphism in the Coramup Gneiss     

S. Bodorkos  D. J. Clark 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》2004,22(8):691-711

The Albany–Fraser Orogen in southwestern Australia preserves an important thermo‐tectonic record of Australo‐Antarctic cratonic assembly during the Mesoproterozoic. New petrologic and thermobarometric data from the Coramup Gneiss (a 10 km wide zone of high strain rocks within the NE‐trending eastern Albany–Fraser Orogen) indicate at least two high‐grade metamorphic events during 1345–1140 Ma convergence and amalgamation of the West Australian and Mawson cratons. The first event (M1) involved c. 1300 Ma granulite facies metamorphism of the Coramup Gneiss (M1a: 800–850 °C, 5–7 kbar), followed by burial and recrystallization under high‐P conditions (M1b: 800–850 °C, c. 10 kbar) prior to high‐T decompression (M1c: 700–800 °C, 7–8 kbar) and the 1290–1280 Ma emplacement of Recherche Granite sills. The second event (M2) entailed high‐T, low‐P metamorphism within dextral D2 shear zones (M2a: 750–800 °C, 5–6 kbar), followed by fluid‐present amphibolite facies M2b retrogression. Subsequent sinistral D3 mylonites and pseudotachylites are considered contemporaneous with similar structures in the adjacent Nornalup Complex that postdate the c. 1140 Ma Esperance Granite. Our petrological and thermobarometric data permit two end‐member P–T‐time relationships between M1 and M2: (1) a single post‐M1b event involving continuous M1b–M1c–M2a–M2b cooling and decompression, and (2) a two‐stage post‐M1b evolution involving M1c metamorphism during the waning stages of an event unrelated causally or temporally to subsequent M2a metamorphism and D2 deformation. In a companion paper, new structural and U–Pb SHRIMP zircon data are presented to support a two‐stage P–T evolution for the Coramup Gneiss, with M1 and M2, respectively, reflecting thermo‐tectonic activity during Stage I (1345–1260 Ma) and Stage II (1215–1140 Ma) of the Albany–Fraser Orogeny.  相似文献   

The boring billion? – Lid tectonics, continental growth and environmental change associated with the Columbia supercontinent     

Nick  M.W.  Robertst 《地学前缘(英文版)》2013,4(6):681-691

The evolution of Earth＇s biosphere,atmosphere and hydrosphere is tied to the formation of continental crust and its subsequent movements on tectonic plates.The supercontinent cycle posits that the continental crust is periodically amalgamated into a single landmass,subsequently breaking up and dispersing into various continental fragments.Columbia is possibly the first true supercontinent,it amalgamated during the 2.0-1.7 Ga period,and collisional orogenesis resulting from its formation peaked at 1.95-1.85 Ga.Geological and palaeomagnetic evidence indicate that Columbia remained as a quasi-integral continental lid until at least 1.3 Ga.Numerous break-up attempts are evidenced by dyke swarms with a large temporal and spatial range; however,palaeomagnetic and geologic evidence suggest these attempts remained unsuccessful.Rather than dispersing into continental fragments,the Columbia supercontinent underwent only minor modifications to form the next supercontinent （Rodinia） at 1.1 -0.9 Ga; these included the transformation of external accretionary belts into the internal Grenville and equivalent collisional belts.Although Columbia provides evidence for a form of ‘lid tectonics’,modern style plate tectonics occurred on its periphery in the form of accretionary orogens.The detrital zircon and preserved geological record are compatible with an increase in the volume of continental crust during Columbia＇s lifespan; this is a consequence of the continuous accretionary processes along its margins.The quiescence in plate tectonic movements during Columbia＇s lifespan is correlative with a long period of stability in Earth＇s atmospheric and oceanic chemistry.Increased variability starting at 1.3 Ga in the environmental record coincides with the transformation of Columbia to Rodinia; thus,the link between plate tectonics and environmental change is strengthened with this interpretation of supercontinent history.  相似文献   

Age and metasomatic alteration of the Mt Neill Granite at Nooldoonooldoona Waterhole,Mt Painter Inlier,South Australia     

M. A. Elburg  P. D. Bons  J. Dougherty-Page  C. E. Janka  N. Neumann  B. Schaefer 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(5):721-730

Quartz feldspar augen gneisses, quartz augen schists and trondhjemites outcrop at Nooldoonooldoona Waterhole in the southwestern corner of the Proterozoic Mt Painter Inlier, northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia. These rocks were previously interpreted as having different origins and ages. However, we argue that all rock types were the result of deformation and strong metasomatic alteration of one common precursor: the Mt Neill Granite. Our conclusion is based on field observations that show that the different lithologies grade into each other and that intrusive contacts are lacking. Whole rock major and trace element analyses also point to a common protolith. Finally, Pb/Pb dating of magmatic zircons gave the same ca 1576 Ma age for the different rock types. Our findings necessitate a re evaluation of the published regional geology and lithostratigraphy of the Mt Painter Inlier. They also indicate that extreme care should be taken in the classification and genetic interpretation of rocks that have experienced extensive metasomatic alteration, which is common in many high grade terrains in Australia.  相似文献   

Chemical fingerprinting of multiple large-scale magmatic events in the Mesoproterozoic Bangemall Supergroup,Western Australia     

P. A. Morris  F. Pirajno 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(7):985-1001

Three major igneous events, dated at ～1465, ～1070 and ～500 Ma, are represented in the Proterozoic of central Western Australia, yet their extent is poorly understood. The compositions of dated mafic rocks from the western Bangemall Supergroup of Western Australia have been used to establish a chemical fingerprint for the ～1465 Ma and ～1070 Ma intrusive events, and to assign sills of an unknown age to one of the two events. A similar approach has been used to identify the extent of ～500 Ma magmatism. Low-pressure fractionation or accumulation has exerted a strong influence on the chemistry of rocks from all magmatic events, but distinctive trace-element ratios (e.g. Th/Nb, Nb/Zr) and rare-earth element (REE) chemistry (e.g. Eu/Eu?, (Gd/Yb)_CN) can discriminate different events. These ratios remain constant regardless of the degree of fractionation or accumulation, and reflect the chemistry of the respective mantle sources. Based on chemistry, ～500 Ma igneous rocks are not found in the Bangemall Supergroup. Neodymium model ages for ～1465 Ma sills overlap with crystallisation ages of subduction-related felsic intrusive rocks from the adjacent Gascoyne Complex, and this, combined with trace-element and REE chemistry, suggests that the mantle source for these sills underwent ～5% crustal contamination approximately 450 Ma prior to melting in a subduction zone environment. Unrealistically large amounts of contaminant are required to explain the chemistry of most ～1070 Ma sills, and their chemistry is better explained by melting of a heterogeneous mantle source, consistent with the overlap of Nd model ages and crystallisation ages. However, the relatively low εNd(T) and high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr(T), elevated light REE, Rb and Zr concentrations, and high Th/Nb of some ～1070 Ma eastern Bangemall Supergroup sills are indicative of crustal contamination. These sills are relatively depleted in chalcophile elements and platinum-group elements, consistent with coeval precipitation of sulfides and crustal contamination. The overlap in the maximum depositional age of host-rocks with the crystallisation age of some sills, the confining of most ～1465 Ma sills to older parts of the stratigraphy, and field evidence showing that some sills belonging to both the ～1465 and ～1070 Ma events were intruded into wet sediments, indicate a close temporal relationship between sedimentation and sill intrusion.  相似文献   

Early Mesoproterozoic metamorphism in the Barossa Complex,South Australia: links with the eastern margin of Proterozoic Australia     

L. J. Morrissey  M. Hand  B. P. Wade  M. Szpunar 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(8):769-795

LA-ICP-MS U–Pb geochronological data from metamorphic monazite in granulite-facies metapelites in the Barossa Complex, southern Australia, yield ages in the range 1580–1550 Ma. Metapelitic rocks from the Myponga and Houghton Inliers contain early biotite–sillimanite-bearing assemblages that underwent partial melting to produce peak metamorphic garnet–sillimanite-bearing anatectic assemblages. Phase equilibrium modelling suggests a clockwise P–T evolution with peak temperatures between 800 and 870°C and peak pressures of 8–9 kbar, followed by decompression to pressures of ～6 kbar. In combination with existing age data, the monazite U–Pb ages indicate that the early Mesoproterozoic evolution of the Barossa Complex is contemporaneous with other high geothermal gradient metamorphic terranes in eastern Proterozoic Australia. The areal extent of early Mesoproterozoic metamorphism in eastern Australia suggests that any proposed continental reconstructions involving eastern Proterozoic Australia should share a similar tectonothermal history.  相似文献   

A U‐Pb zircon study of the Mesoproterozoic Charleston Granite,Gawler Craton,South Australia     

R. A. Creaser  C. M. Fanning 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(6):519-526

The Charleston Granite from the Gawler Craton, South Australia, has been dated by the ion‐microprobe U‐Pb zircon method at 1585 ± 5 Ma (2σ). This confirms previous interpretations of population‐style U‐Pb zircon analyses which record a slightly older age due to the presence of inherited zircon. Inherited cores are present in many zircon crystals, and while the age of some cores can not be accurately determined due to extreme loss of radiogenic Pb, others have ages of ～ 1780, ～ 1970, and > 3150 Ma. These cores record a diverse crustal heritage for the Charleston Granite and indicate that ancient crustal material (> 3150 Ma) is present at depth in the Gawler Craton. This is also suggested by available Nd isotopic data for both the Charleston Granite and other Gawler Craton Archaean rocks. The Rb‐Sr and K‐Ar biotite ages from the Charleston Granite of 1560 to 1570 Ma are close to the U‐Pb zircon crystallization age and suggest that the granite has not experienced sustained thermal disturbance (> 250° C) since emplacement and cooling. However, a much younger Rb‐Sr total‐rock age of 1443 ± 26 Ma probably reflects low‐temperature disturbance to the Sr isotope system in feldspar.  相似文献   

Preservation of Mesoproterozoic age deep burial fluid signatures,NW Scotland     

《Marine and Petroleum Geology》2014

Bedding-parallel fibrous calcite is a widely developed feature of mudrock successions, reflecting conditions of fluid overpressure (Stoneley, 1983, Parnell et al., 2000, Cobbold et al., 2013). The calcite preserves signatures of fluids developed during deep burial, including hydrocarbons. Most studied examples are of Phanerozoic (<540 Ma) age. This study reports well-preserved fibrous calcite in the Mesoproterozoic (∼1180 Ma) Stoer Group, NW Scotland. The fibrous calcite occurs immediately above a unit of carbonaceous black shale. If hydrocarbons were generated from the black shales, they could have contributed to the development of fluid overpressure, but there is no direct evidence for this. The calcite reflects the original deep burial fluid, rather than a later overprint, because (i) it has a distribution related to stratigraphy, (ii) the bedding-parallel fibres have not been recrystallized, and (iii) later veining is at high angles to bedding. The calcite contains fluid inclusions, and has yielded stable isotope and entrained volatile data, indicating the potential to record diagenetic processes over one billion years ago.  相似文献   

柴达木盆地北缘全吉地块东端变基性岩体LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄：中元古代陆块裂解的证据     

廖梵汐  龚松林  董彦君  王勤燕  张璐  陈能松 《中国区域地质》2012,(8):1279-1286

全吉地块东端古元古代二长花岗片麻岩中普遍发育变质的基性岩体,它们的形成时代、变质作用时代和对地块基底构造演化的指示意义尚不清楚。应用LA-ICP-MS技术测定其中的一个变基性岩体的锆石U-Pb年龄,获得的10个测点数据显示,锆石受到热事件的强烈改造而发生严重铅丢失,但拟合的不一致线仍给出相关性较好的上交点年龄1712Ma±47Ma和下交点年龄472Ma±29Ma,MSWD=1.4。这表明,变质基性岩的原岩形成于中元古代早期,是全吉地块在古元古代末期汇入Columbia超大陆之后于中元古代早期初始裂解而侵位的基性岩体。这些基性岩体在早古生代卷入了柴北缘碰撞带而发生角闪岩相变质作用,并受到构造肢解。  相似文献

在内蒙古固阳县东部出露了两个碱性岩体,最近的年代学研究显示这两个碱性侵入体分别形成于中元古代早期和晚古生代早期,瓦窑石英正长岩的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄为1702±32Ma,高家村角闪正长岩的SHRIMP年龄为399±7Ma,TIMS法锆石U-Pb为389.9±4.7Ma。瓦窑石英正长岩相对贫Ca、贫Sr、高TiO2/MgO和FeOT/MgO、高Ga/Al,Eu负异常;岩石高87Sr/86Sr比值、低143Nd/144Nd比值、εNd(t)为-6.2～-6.5,地球化学特点显示铝质"A"型花岗岩性质,岩浆源区为大陆上部地壳,是拉张低压背景下部分熔融的产物。高家村角闪正长岩高碱(K2O+Na2O为10.92%～11.67%),Sr正异常,弱正铕异常,具有较低的87Sr/86Sr比值、适中的143Nd/144Nd比值,εNd(t)为-14.4～-14.9,具有高压型正长岩的特征,岩石应形成于大陆下部地壳,属后造山崩塌早期阶段的产物。这两个岩体的形成时代分别与冀北地区的中元古代非造山岩浆岩组合(斜长岩-正长岩-环斑花岗岩组合)和晚古生代的水泉沟正长岩相对应,有可能构成华北克拉通北缘两条延伸数百千米的碱性侵入岩带。中元古代早期的碱性侵入岩带代表着华北克拉通在古元古代末汇聚造山后的裂解事件;而早(-中)泥盆世的碱性侵入岩带则代表着华北克拉通北缘早古生代末弧-陆拼合造山后的伸展事件。  相似文献
