Crustal structure under the Sydney Basin and Lachlan Fold Belt,determined from explosion seismic studies     

D. M. Finlayson  H. M. McCracken 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(1-2):177-190

The Lachlan Fold Belt has the velocity‐depth structure of continental crust, with a thickness exceeding 50 km under the region of highest topography in Australia, and in the range 41–44 km under the central Fold Belt and Sydney Basin. There is no evidence of high upper crustal velocities normally associated with marginal or back‐arc basin crustal rocks. The velocities in the lower crust are consistent with an overall increase in metamorphic grade and/or mafic mineral content with depth. Continuing tectonic development throughout the region and the negligible seismicity at depths greater than 30 km indicate that the lower crust is undergoing ductile deformation.

The upper crustal velocities below the Sydney Basin are in the range 5.75–5.9 km/s to about 8 km, increasing to 6.35–6.5 km/s at about 15–17 km depth, where there is a high‐velocity (7.0 km/s) zone for about 9 km evident in results from one direction. The lower crust is characterised by a velocity gradient from about 6.7 km/s at 25 km, to 7.7 km/s at 40–42 km, and a transition to an upper mantle velocity of 8.03–8.12 km/s at 41.5–43.5 km depth.

Across the central Lachlan Fold Belt, velocities generally increase from 5.6 km/s at the surface to 6.0 km/s at 14.5 km depth, with a higher‐velocity zone (5.95 km/s) in the depth range 2.5–7.0 km. In the lower crust, velocities increase from 6.3 km/s at 16 km depth to 7.2 km/s at 40 km depth, then increase to 7.95 km/s at 43 km. A steeper gradient is evident at 26.5–28 km depth, where the velocity is about 6.6—6.8 km/s. Under part of the area an upper mantle low‐velocity zone in the depth range 50–64 km is interpreted from strong events recorded at distances greater than 320 km.

There is no substantial difference in the Moho depth across the boundary between the Sydney Basin and the Lachlan Fold Belt, consistent with the Basin overlying part of the Fold Belt. Pre‐Ordovician rocks within the crust suggest fragmented continental‐type crust existed E of the Precambrian craton and that these contribute to the thick crustal section in SE Australia.  相似文献

华北克拉通是否曾是Columbia超大陆的组成部分并具有一致的裂解过程一直存在争议,而已知的中元古代非造山岩浆组合集中分布于华北克拉通北缘是引起有关裂解过程争论的重要原因。作者近来在华北克拉通南缘,河南省卢氏县潘河地区,厘定了一组中元古代走向近东西的正长岩脉群。正长岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为1469±8Ma(MSWD=1.4)。岩石类型主要为黑云母正长岩,局部有少量霞石正长岩。岩体的SiO2变化于51.3%～65.7%之间,碱含量较高,K2O+Na2O总量8.32%～13.0%,铝含量较高(Al2O3=18.7%～20.0%),为碱性过铝质岩类。岩体轻重稀土分馏较为显著(La/Yb)N=14.5～34.5,具有显著的Eu负异常(δEu=0.2～0.3),强烈富集Rb、Ba、Th等大离子亲石元素和Nb、Ta、Nd、Tb等高场强元素,而Sr、Ti、P、Eu等元素显著亏损。岩石εHf(t)=-14.79～+8.16,Hf模式年龄为2.93～1.74Ga,指示成岩物质主要来源于富集岩石圈地幔的部分熔融并有地壳物质的加入。岩体形成于板内伸展构造环境,这表明华北克拉通的南缘也同时记录了华北克拉通曾经在中元古代发生过大规模的伸展作用,其伸展过程可能与Columbia超大陆的裂解有关。  相似文献

东升庙Zn -Pb -Cu矿床和甲生盘Zn -Pb矿床具有鲜明的层控特征, 前者产在中元古界狼山群二组中, 后者则局限在中元古界渣尔泰山群阿古鲁沟组第二岩段内.二者产出层位相当, 根据(1) 含矿地层有岩相(性) 的突变; (2) 含矿岩段地层厚度顺走向和倾向变化性大、厚度突变现象明显, 并存在层间砾岩和滑塌角砾岩, 角砾成分为大小不一的白云石大理岩块、碳质千枚岩、石英团块、凝灰岩块、变粒岩块、变质火山岩碎块、黑云母片岩碎块; (3) 矿体总体呈层产出, 但有一些Zn -Pb -Cu矿体突然变薄, 甚至消失, 形成鱼头状矿体, 且发育角砾状矿石, 角砾成分与层间砾岩的相同, 且还含Pb -Zn矿石或Py矿石角砾; (4) 火山岩或凝灰岩夹层顺同生断裂带分布, 确认其唯一容矿岩组形成过程中有明显的同生断裂活动.同生断裂系统是含矿热水和火山熔浆进入沉积盆地的通道, 是两大矿床形成的有利因素, 但其活动频率、规模与持续时间的差异, 也造成不同的矿床规模和矿体分布.东升庙矿床同生断裂活动时限相对长、矿床规模大、矿种多.甲生盘矿床同生断裂活动时间短, 矿床规模为大型.   相似文献

野外地质调查和室内岩石学研究表明,大兴安岭北段吉峰林场一带变质超基性岩为具有典型鬣刺结构的科马提岩。科马提岩系列由橄榄质科马提岩、玄武质科马提岩及拉斑玄武岩、辉长岩等岩石组成。科马提岩显示了从超镁铁质到镁铁质地球化学趋势,拉斑玄武岩具有从富镁到富铁的趋势,而上覆长英质火山岩则遵循钙-碱趋势。科马提岩稀土配分型式为类似于南非超镁铁质科马提岩的平坦型或轻稀土略富集而重稀土平坦型。科马提岩系列8件样品的Sm-Nd同位素数据构成一条相关性较好的等时线,等时线年龄为1727Ma±74.7Ma,I_Nd=0.510725±0.0000798,ε_Nd(t)=6.94±1.56,表明科马提岩形成于中元古代早期,其源区为亏损的软流圈地幔。这一地壳增生事件可能与松嫩地块从西伯利亚地台南缘裂解有关。   相似文献

Using Mesoproterozoic sedimentary geochemistry to reconstruct basin tectonic geography and link organic carbon productivity to nutrient flux from a Northern Australian large igneous Province

The Beetaloo Sub-basin, northern Australia, is considered the main depocentre of the 1,000-km scale Mesoproterozoic Wilton package of the greater McArthur Basin – the host to one of the oldest hydrocarbon global resources. The ca. 1.40–1.31 Ga upper Roper Group and the latest Mesoproterozoic to early Neoproterozoic unnamed group of the Beetaloo Sub-basin, together, record ca. 500 million years of depositional history within the North Australia Craton. Whole-rock shale Sm–Nd and Pb isotope data from these sediments reveal sedimentary provenance and their evolution from ca. 1.35 to 0.85 Ga. Furthermore, these data, together with shale major/trace elements data from this study and pyrolysis data from previous publications, are used to develop a dynamic tectonic geography model that links the organic carbon production and burial to an enhanced weathering of nutrients from a large igneous province. The ca. 1.35–1.31 Ga Kyalla Formation of the upper Roper Group is composed of isotopically evolved sedimentary detritus that passes up, into more isotopically juvenile Pb values towards the top of the formation. The increase in juvenile compositions coincides with elevated total organic carbon (TOC) contents of these sediments. The coherently enriched juvenile compositions and TOC the upper portions of the Kyalla Formation are interpreted to reflect an increase in nutrient supply associated with the weathering of basaltic sources (e.g. phosphorous). Possible, relatively juvenile, basaltic sources include the Wankanki Supersuite in the western Musgraves and the Derim Derim–Galiwinku large igneous province (LIP). The transition into juvenile, basaltic sources directly before a supersequence-bounding unconformity is here interpreted to reflect uplift and erosion of the Derim Derim–Galiwinku LIP, rather than an influx of southern Musgrave sources. A new baddeleyite crystallisation age of 1,312.9 ± 0.7 Ma provides both a tight constraint on the age of this LIP, along with its associated magmatic uplift, as well as providing a minimum age constraint for Roper Group deposition. The unconformably overlying lower and upper Jamison sandstones are at least 300 million years younger than the Kyalla Formation and were sourced from the Musgrave Province. An up-section increase in isotopically juvenile compositions seen in these rocks is interpreted to document the progressive exhumation of the western Musgrave Province. The overlying Hayfield mudstone received detritus from both the Musgrave and Arunta regions, and its isotopic geochemistry reveals affinities with other early Neoproterozoic basins (e.g. Amadeus, Victoria and Officer basins), indicating the potential for inter-basin correlations.  相似文献

对湖北省随州地区组成花山蛇绿混杂岩的杨家棚MORB型辉长岩进行了RbSr同位素分析,其矿物(辉石、斜长石)等时线年龄为435±49(2σ)Ma,ISr为0.70516±28(2σ),与该地区出露的三里岗二长花岗岩的RbSr等时线年龄(422Ma)在误差范围内是一致的;反映了该地区在加里东期曾受到强烈地质事件的作用,并进一步表明花山洋盆可能是一个形成年龄较老的洋盆,以前有关花山洋盆存在时限(海西印支期)的推测在这里没有得到确证。  相似文献
