Rhenium-Osmium (Re-Os) isotopic dating applied to the geochronology of hydrocarbon accumulation has been the forefront of international research in the last 10 years and has achieved significant achievements. However, our current researches are lacking in Re-Os isotopic chronology on the geochronology of hydrocarbon accumulation. The successful application of the Re-Os geochronology has enabled the determination of accurate and precise depositional ages for Organic-Rich Sedimentary rocks (ORS), the establishment of timing constraints of oil generation or migration, and the fingerprinting of the source of oil. On the basis of literatures study both at home and abroad, this article mainly dealt with the principle of Re-Os isotopic dating and analyzed the accumulation processes of Re and Os in a seawater-sediment system. Meanwhile, the test samples, sample preparation and analytical methodology of Re-Os isotopic dating were summarized. The results revealed that the initial ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratio could constrain the age of oil generation or migration, and effectively evaluated the relationship between source rock and oil. The radiogenic ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratio showed a positively correlated relationship with source rock age. This article proposed that hydrocarbon mature, biodegradation and water washing had minimal or no effect on data scatter about Re-Os isochron. However, the effects of postdepositional mobility of Re and Os, variations in the initial ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratio, and thermochemical sulfate reduction could result in data scatter. The reproducibility and accuracy of Re-Os age was also closely related to the sample particle size and sample amount. Compared with other isotopic dating, the biggest advantage of Re-Os isotopic dating is to study geological body related to accumulation process, and to obtain direct evidence of hydrocarbon accumulation period. From what was discussed above, the article discussed the existing problems and put forward the future hot research and development direction of Re-Os isotope system, so as to promote the deep development of relative theory and technology of Re-Os isotopic dating.  相似文献   

U–Pb and Re–Os Ages of the Huaheitan Molybdenum Deposit,NW China     

Jiang Zhu  Xinbiao Lü  Chao Chen  Xiaofeng Cao  Chunming Wu 《Resource Geology》2013,63(3):330-336

The Huaheitan molybdenum deposit in the Beishan area of northwest China consists of quartz‐sulfide veins. Orebodies occur in the contact zone of the Huaniushan granite. LA‐ICPMS U–Pb zircon dating constrains the crystallization of the granite at 225.6 ± 2.2 Ma (2σ, MSWD = 4.5). Re–Os dating of five molybdenite samples yield model ages ranging from 223.2 ± 3.5 Ma to 228.6 ± 3.4 Ma, with an average of 225.2 ± 2.4 Ma. The U–Pb and Re–Os ages are identical within the error, suggesting that the granite and related Huaheitan molybdenum deposit formed in the Late Triassic. Our new data, combined with published geochronological results from the other molybdenum deposits in this region, imply that intensive magmatism and Mo mineralization occurred during 240 Ma to 220 Ma throughout the Beishan area.  相似文献   

Geochronology of the Xingshan molybdenum deposit,Jilin Province,NE China,and its Hf isotope significance     

《Journal of Asian Earth Sciences》2013

The Xingshan porphyry Mo deposit is located in the Lesser Xing’an Range–Zhangguangcai Range metallogenic belt, NE China. Mineralization occurred in granodioritic porphyry and monzogranite, which have zircon U–Pb ages of 171.7 ± 2.2 Ma and 170.9 ± 4.6 Ma, respectively. Molybdenite Re–Os dating indicates that Mo mineralization occurred at 167.3 ± 2.5 Ma. These geochronological data suggest that the magmatic and hydrothermal activities of the Xingshan Mo deposit happened during the Middle Jurassic in Mesozoic. Positive ε_Hf values (6.2–11.6) and young T_DM2 (473–826 Ma) of the monzogranite (XS-3) and granodioritic porphyry (XS-5) indicate that the source materials of Xingshan ore-bearing rocks are the juvenile crust, which mainly accreted on the Songnen block during the Meso-Neoproterozoic. Xingshan porphyry Mo deposits resulted from the magmatism and tectonism induced by the subduction of Paleo-Pacific Ocean.  相似文献   

Melt/mantle mixing produces podiform chromite deposits in ophiolites: Implications of Re-Os systematics in the Dongqiao Neo-tethyan ophiolite, northern Tibet   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8

Podiform chromite deposits occur in the mantle sequences of many ophiolites that were formed in supra-subduction zone (SSZ) settings. We have measured the Re-Os isotopic compositions of the major chromite deposits and associated mantle peridotites of the Dongqiao Ophiolite in the Bangong-Nujiang suture, Tibet, to investigate the petrogenesis of these rocks and their genetic relationships.The ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios of the chromite separates define a narrow range from 0.12318 to 0.12354, less variable than those of the associated peridotites. Previously-reported ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios of the Os-rich alloys enclosed in the chromitites define two clusters: 0.12645 ± 0.00004 (2 s; n = 145) and 0.12003 to 0.12194. The ultra-depleted dunites have much lower ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os (0.11754, 0.11815), and the harzburgites show a wider range from 0.12107 to 0.12612. The average isotopic composition of the chromitites (¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os: 0.12337 ± 0.00001) is low compared with the carbonaceous chondrite value (¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os: 0.1260 ± 0.0013) and lower than the average value measured for podiform chromitites worldwide (0.12809 ± 0.00085). In contrast, the basalts have higher ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os, ranging from 0.20414 to 0.38067, while the plagioclase-bearing harzburgite and cumulates show intermediate values of ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os (0.12979 ~ 0.14206). Correspondingly, the basalts have the highest ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os ratios, up to 45.4 ± 3.2, and the chromites have the lowest ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os ratios, down to 0.00113 ± 0.00008. We suggest that melts/fluids, derived from the subducting slab, triggered partial melting in the overlying mantle wedge and added significant amounts of radiogenic Os to the peridotites. Mass-balance calculations indicate that a melt/mantle ratio of approximately 15:1 (melt: ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os: 45.4, ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os: 0.34484; mantle peridotite: ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os: 0.0029, ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os: 0.11754) is necessary to increase the Os isotopic composition of the chromitite deposits to its observed average value. This value implies a surprisingly low average melt/mantle ratio during the formation of the chromitite deposits. The percolating melts probably were of variable isotopic composition. However, in the chromitite pods the Os from many melts was pooled and homogenized, which is why the chromitite deposits show such a small variation in their Os isotopic composition. The results of this study suggest that the ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios of chromitites may not be representative of the DMM, but only reflect an upper limit. Importantly, the Os-isotope compositions of chromitites strongly suggest that such deposits can be formed by melt/mantle mixing processes.  相似文献

不同地区、不同时代蛇绿岩中不同类型铬铁矿岩的Re-Os同位素研究表明,在铬铁矿石或围岩中均存在极度亏损的具有大陆岩石圈地幔属性的物质。新疆达拉布特古生代蛇绿岩带中萨尔托海富Al铬铁矿岩的Os同位素组成为0.1109～0.1256,对应的模式年龄为3.5～0.6Ga;西藏班公湖—怒江中生代蛇绿岩带中东巧富Cr铬铁矿石及围岩Os同位素组成介于0.1175～0.1261,对应的模式年龄为1.5～0.1Ga;雅鲁藏布江中生代蛇绿岩带中罗布莎富Cr铬铁矿岩的Os同位素变化范围为0.1038～0.1266,对应的模式年龄为3.37～0.28Ga,而该带中不含矿的泽当二辉橄榄岩的Os同位素组成为0.1256～0.1261,没有古老大陆岩石圈地幔属性的物质存在,与新特提斯洋地幔Os组成较为接近。推测在蛇绿岩形成过程中,古老大陆岩石圈地幔参与循环有利于形成铬铁矿床,明确提出"熔体与古老大陆岩石圈地幔反应成矿"的假说,指出蛇绿岩带中存在的古老微陆块可能是找矿的指示标志。  相似文献   

Re-Os同位素定年对岩浆型Cu-Ni硫化物矿床成矿时代的制约   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2

Re-Os同位素体系被认为是岩浆Cu-Ni硫化物矿床直接定年的有力工具。通过研究世界级典型岩浆Cu-Ni硫化物矿床的Re-Os等时线表面年龄,发现有时能得到成矿年龄,有时得到与成矿年龄不一致的表面年龄或根本得不到Re-Os等时线,还有时同一矿床的不同类型矿石给出不同的Re-Os等时线表面年龄。文章介绍了能够解释上述现象的理论模型。模型预测对与基性-超基性岩共生的Cu-Ni硫化物矿床,除一些特殊情况外,块状矿石可得到有地质意义的Re-Os等时线年龄,浸染状矿石常得到没有地质意义的假等时线;而浸染状矿石常得到有地质意义的Os同位素初始比值,而块状矿石给出的"Os同位素表面初始比值"往往没有地质意义。因此,建议在应用Re-Os同位素体系定年时要结合矿床类型、矿石类型以及成矿过程等因素综合考虑;对Re-Os数据的科学合理解释同样需要从矿床学和同位素地球化学的基本原理出发,结合矿床的实际情况,进行深入分析研究。  相似文献   

Geochronologic and isotope geochemical constraints on magmatism and associated W–Mo mineralization of the Jitoushan W–Mo deposit,middle–lower Yangtze Valley     

《International Geology Review》2012,54(13):1532-1547

The Jitoushan W–Mo ore body is a typical skarn-type deposit with the potential for porphyry Mo mineralization at depth. As it is newly discovered, only a few studies have been conducted on the geochronology and ore genesis of this deposit. The ore district consists of Cambrian to Silurian sedimentary and low-grade metasedimentary strata, intruded by granodiorite, diorite porphyry, granite porphyry, and quartz porphyry. Skarn W–Mo ore bodies are hosted in the contact zone between the granodiorite and Cambrian limestone strata. Within the granodiorite near the contact zone, quartz vein type and disseminated sulphide mineralization are well developed. The Mo-bearing granite porphyry has been traced at depth by drilling. Our results reveal two discrete magmatic events at ca. 138 and ca. 127 Ma in the study area. The molybdenite Re–Os isochronal age of 136.6 ± 1.5 million years is consistent with the first magmatic event. The zircon Hf isotope (?_Hf(t) =??12.55?3.91), sulphide isotopes (δ³⁴S = 3.32–5.59‰), and Re content of molybdenite (Re_content = 6.424–19.07 μg) indicate that the ore-forming materials were mainly derived from the deep crust. The regional tectonic system switched from a Late Jurassic transpressive regime to an earliest Cretaceous extensional regime at ca. 145 Ma, and at ca. 138 Ma, the Jitoushan W–Mo deposit formed in an extensional setting.  相似文献

Zircon U–Pb and molybdenite Re–Os geochronology,Hf isotope analyses,and whole-rock geochemistry of the Donggebi Mo deposit,eastern Tianshan,Northwest China,and their geological significance     

《International Geology Review》2012,54(4):446-462

The geodynamic setting of Mesozoic magmatic rocks and associated mineralization in eastern Tianshan, Northwest China, are attracting increasing attention. The newly discovered giant Donggebi molybdenum deposit (0.508 Mt at 0.115% Mo) is located in the central part of eastern Tianshan, Xinjiang. The molybdenum mineralization was genetically associated with the Donggebi stock, comprised of porphyritic granite and granite porphyry. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) zircon U–Pb dating constrains that the porphyritic granite and granite porphyry emplacement occurred at 233.8 ± 2.5 Ma and 231.7 ± 2.6 Ma, respectively. The Re–Os model ages of six molybdenite samples range from 235.2 to 237.0 Ma, with a weighted mean age of 236.1 ± 1.4 Ma, which is roughly consistent within errors with the zircon U–Pb ages, suggesting a Middle Triassic magmatic–mineralization event at Donggebi. Geochemically, the Donggebi granitoids are characterized by high SiO₂ and K₂O contents, with low MgO contents, belonging to high-K calc-alkaline granites. These rocks show pronounced enrichment in K, Rb, U, and Pb, and depletion in Sr, Ba, P, and Ti, with negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.20–0.38). In situ Hf isotopic analyses of zircon from the porphyritic granite and granite porphyry yielded ε_Hf(t) values ranging from +6.6 to +10.5, and from +5.5 to +10.1, respectively. The geochemical and isotopic data imply that the primary magmas of the Donggebi granitoids could have originated by partial melting of a juvenile lower crust that involved some mantle components. Combined with the regional geological history, geochemistry of the Donggebi granitoids, and new isotopic age data, we thus propose that the Donggebi molybdenum deposit was formed in the Middle Triassic, and occurred in an intracontinental extension setting in eastern Tianshan.  相似文献   

Palaeoproterozoic Chibaisong mafic intrusion and mineralization (Northeast China), the oldest Cu–Ni sulphide deposit in China: evidence from Re–Os dating of pyrrhotite     

《International Geology Review》2012,54(14):1783-1791

The Chibaisong magmatic Cu–Ni sulphide deposit is located in Tonghua City, Jilin Province, in the eastern part of the northern margin of the North China Craton. The geological characteristics of the deposit have been investigated, and pyrrhotite Re–Os isotope dating has been utilized to constrain the age. Five pyrrhotite samples separated from the Chibaisong Cu–Ni sulphide deposit yielded a Re–Os isotopic isochron age of 2237 ± 62 Ma (mean squared weighted deviation = 1.13, n = 5), indicating that the only Palaeoproterozoic magmatic Cu–Ni sulphide deposit in China is the Chibaisong Cu–Ni sulphide deposit. The geodynamic setting during ore formation was related to the Liaoning–Jilin Palaeoproterozoic rift split. The Re–Os isotope analyses showed an initial ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratio of 0.778 ± 0.033, and (¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os)_i and γOs(t) values ranged from 0.7531 to 0.8013 (average 0.7734) and from 574 to 617 (average 592), respectively, indicating that abundant crustal material (5–10%) was mixed with the Cu–Ni sulphide ore system during magma ascent and ore formation.  相似文献
