Isostatic constraints on the central Victorian lower crust: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the Lachlan Fold Belt     

G. J. O'Halloran  P. Rey 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(4):633-639

Interpretation and 2‐D forward modelling of aeromagnetic datasets from the Olary Domain to the north of the outcropping Kalabity Inlier, South Australia, is consistent with a buried structural architecture characterised by isolated anticlines (also referred to as growth anticlines) bounded by steeply dipping reverse faults. The isolated anticlines are interpreted to have formed by half‐graben inversion during crustal shortening associated with the ca 1600–1580 Ma Olarian Orogeny. We interpret the bounding reverse faults as reactivated high‐angle normal faults, originating from a listric extensional fault architecture. As shortening increased, ‘break‐back bypass’ and ‘short‐cut‘ thrusts developed because of buttressing of the hangingwall successions against the footwall. The resulting architecture resembles a combination of a thrust‐related imbricate fan and an accumulation of inverted basins. Using this structural architecture, synrift sediments proximal to interpreted normal faults were identified as prospective for sediment‐hosted massive sulfide Pb–Zn–Ag mineralisation.  相似文献   

40Ar/39Ar and K–Ar age constraints on the timing of regional deformation,south coast of New South Wales,Lachlan Fold Belt: Problems and implications     

C. L. Fergusson  D. Phillips 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(3):395-408

Four slate samples from subduction complex rocks exposed on the south coast of New South Wales, south of Batemans Bay, were analysed by K–Ar and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar step‐heating methods. One sample contains relatively abundant detrital muscovite flakes that are locally oblique to the regional cleavage in the rock, whereas the remaining samples appear to contain sparse detrital muscovite. Separates of detrital muscovite yielded plateau ages of 505 ± 3 Ma and 513 ± 3 Ma indicating that inheritance has not been eliminated by metamorphism and recrystallisation. Step‐heating analyses of whole‐rock chips from all four slate samples produced discordant apparent age spectra with ‘saddle shapes’ following young apparent ages at the lowest temperature increments. Elevated apparent ages associated with the highest temperature steps are attributed to the presence of variable quantities of detrital muscovite (<1–5%). Two whole‐rock slate samples yielded similar ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar integrated ages of ca 455 Ma, which are some 15–30 million years older than K–Ar ages for the same samples. These discrepancies suggest that the slates have also been affected by recoil loss/redistribution of ³⁹Ar, leading to anomalously old ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages. Two other samples, from slaty tectonic mélange and intensely cleaved slate, yielded average ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar integrated ages of ca 424 Ma, which are closer to associated mean K–Ar ages of 423 ± 4 Ma and 409 ± 16 Ma, respectively. Taking into account the potential influences of recoil loss/redistribution of ³⁹Ar and inheritance, the results from the latter samples suggest a maximum age of ca 440 Ma for deformation/metamorphism. The current results indicate that recoil and inheritance problems may also have affected whole‐rock ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar data reported from other regions of the Lachlan Fold Belt. Therefore, until these effects are adequately quantified, models for the evolution of the Lachlan Fold Belt, that are based on such whole‐rock ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar data, should be treated with caution.  相似文献   

Derivation of detrital rutile in the Yaoundé region from the Neoproterozoic Pan-African belt in southern Cameroon (Central Africa)     

Henrik Stendal  Sadrack Flix Toteu  Robert Frei  Joseph Penaye  Urbain Olivier Njel  Jean Bassahak  Jean Nni  Boniface Kankeu  Vincent Ngako  Joseph Victor Hell 《Journal of African Earth Sciences》2006,44(4-5):443

Rutile, as an important component in alluvial or eluvial heavy mineral deposits, is known in southern Cameroon. These deposits are underlain by the Neoproterozoic low- to high-grade Yaoundé Group. Geochemical, thermometric, fluid inclusion and Pb isotopic studies of the rutile from alluvial and eluvial concentrates and from medium-grade micaschist from the nearby Yaoundé region permit the following conclusions: (1) alluvial and eluvial rutile of the Yaoundé region are derived from the degradation of metapelites, metamafic rocks and pegmatites of the nearby Yaoundé Group; (2) rutile in the Yaoundé Group formed during the Pan-African metamorphism, or was inherited as detrital rutile from a 900 Ma source. The study also shows that the rutile can be used to trace the history of the Pan-African belt north of the Congo craton.  相似文献   

内蒙古阿巴嘎地幔岩捕掳体与岩石圈地幔性质探讨   总被引：3，自引：2，他引：1  

陈生生  樊祺诚  赵勇伟  隋建立  杜星星 《岩石学报》2012,28(4):1108-1118

阿巴嘎地区新生代地幔捕掳体岩性主要为尖晶石二辉橄榄岩,矿物组成有橄榄石(Fo89-91)、单斜辉石(Wo43-49En44-49Fs3-11)、斜方辉石(Wo0.7-2.2En88-91Fs8-11)和铬尖晶石(Cr6#-20)。橄榄岩结构以碎斑结构为主,除此还可见海绵边结构、重结晶结构、粗粒结构和变晶结构,部分橄榄石发育膝折带和伊丁石化现象,这些特征暗示该区地幔经历了较强烈的熔体-岩石圈相互作用和复杂的演化过程。大地构造位置上,阿巴嘎与大兴安岭哈拉哈河-绰尔河及五大连池-科洛同处在兴蒙造山带上,但阿巴嘎表现出与华北克拉通西部北缘相似的热状态及饱满型-过渡型的岩石圈地幔性质,区别于大兴安岭中部具有古老残留的岩石圈地幔,暗示着兴蒙造山带之下的岩石圈地幔存在时空上的不均一性。而这种大尺度岩石圈地幔的不均一性可能与软流圈-岩石圈相互作用程度、上地幔复杂的地质演化及兴蒙造山带内部不同块体的活动强度、时间等性质有关。  相似文献   

Mississippian foraminifers from the Onimaru Formation in the Hikoroichi area, South Kitakami Belt, Northeast Japan     

Katsumi UENO  Tomohide MIYAZAKI 《地球学报》2009,30(Z1):82-86

Abundant foraminifers were found from the Mississippian Onimaru Formation distributed in the Hikoroichi area of the central part of the South Kitakami Belt, Northeast Japan. They include Brunsia pulchra, Archaediscus sp., Paraarchaediscus? sp., Neoarchaediscus? sp., Palaeotextularia spp., Climacammina, spp., Tetrataxis spp., Haplophragmella sp., Lituotubella? sp., Forschiella sp., Cribrospira sp., Bradyina spp., Janischewskina sp., Endothyra spp., Planoendothyra aljutovica., Endothyranopsis compressa, E. crassa, Omphalotis samarica, Eo-staffella spp., Mediocris breviscula, and several others. The Onimaru foraminiferal fauna is similar to those re-ported from MFZ (Mamet Foraminiferal Zone) 15-16. This supports a late Visean (V3b-V3c) age of the formation, which has been proposed previously by rugose corals.  相似文献   

A geochemical study of the Sweet Home Mine,Colorado Mineral Belt,USA: hydrothermal fluid evolution above a hypothesized granite cupola   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Volker Lüders  Rolf L. Romer  H. Albert Gilg  Robert J. Bodnar  Thomas Pettke  Dean Misantoni 《Mineralium Deposita》2009,44(4):415-434

Deposition of quartz–molybdenite–pyrite–topaz–muscovite–fluorite and subsequent hübnerite and sulfide–fluorite–rhodochrosite mineralization at the Sweet Home Mine occurred coeval with the final stage of magmatic activity and ore formation at the nearby world-class Climax molybdenum deposit about 26 to 25 m.y. ago. The mineralization occurred at depths of about 3,000 m and is related to at least two major fluid systems: (1) one dominated by magmatic fluids, and (2) another dominated by meteoric water. The sulfur isotopic composition of pyrite, strontium isotopes and REY distribution in fluorite suggest that the early-stage quartz–molybdenite–pyrite–topaz–muscovite–fluorite mineral assemblage was deposited from magmatic fluids under a fluctuating pressure regime at temperatures of about 400°C as indicated by CO₂-bearing, moderately saline (7.5–12.5 wt.% NaCl equiv.) fluid inclusions. LA-ICPMS analyses of fluid inclusions in quartz demonstrate that fluids from the Sweet Home Mine are enriched in incompatible elements but have considerably lower metal contents than those reported from porphyry–Cu–Au–Mo or Climax-type deposits. The ore-forming fluid exsolved from a highly differentiated magma possibly related to the deep-seated Alma Batholith or distal porphyry stock(s). Sulfide mineralization, marking the periphery of Climax-type porphyry systems, with fluorite and rhodochrosite as gangue minerals was deposited under a hydrostatic pressure regime from low-salinity ± CO₂-bearing fluids with low metal content at temperatures below 400°C. The sulfide mineralization is characterized by mostly negative δ³⁴S values for sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, and tetrahedrite, highly variable δ¹⁸O values for rhodochrosite, and low REE contents in fluorite. The Pb isotopic composition of galena as well as the highly variable ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of fluorite, rhodochrosite, and apatite indicates that at least part of the Pb and Sr originated from a much more radiogenic source than Climax-type granites. It is suggested that the sulfide mineralization at the Sweet Home Mine formed from magmatic fluids that mixed with variable amounts of externally derived fluids. The migration of the latter fluids, that were major components during late-stage mineralization at the Sweet Home Mine, was probably driven by a buried magmatic intrusion.  相似文献   

东南极普里兹带多期变质作用及其对罗迪尼亚和冈瓦纳超大陆重建的启示   总被引：4，自引：2，他引：2  

刘晓春 《岩石学报》2009,25(8):1808-1818

东南极普里兹带是一条经受格林维尔期和泛非期高级构造热事件影响的多相变质带,其构造演化过程与罗迪尼亚和冈瓦纳超大陆的形成密切相关.新的岩石学和年代学资料表明,普里兹带中的格林维尔期高级变质作用是区域性的,并经历了>970Ma和930～900Ma两个演化阶段(期),变质条件达到相对高温高压的麻粒岩相.格林维尔期造山作用起始于活动大陆边缘或岛弧环境下的岩浆增生,最后发展到陆陆碰撞,从而使印度、东南极西陆块和非洲的卡拉哈里克拉通拼合在一起,构成了罗迪尼亚超大陆的重要组成部分之一.普里兹带中的泛非期高级变质作用并不象前人认为的那样只发生在中低压麻粒岩相条件下,而是达到高压麻粒岩相,并具有近等温减压的顺时针P-T演化轨迹.格林维尔期变质先驱的普遍存在说明泛非期碰撞造山事件主要叠加在印度-南极陆块东缘的基底杂岩之上,所以其主缝合线的位置应该在现今普里兹带的东南方向,并可能向南极内陆延伸到甘布尔采夫冰下山脉.对不同类型岩石的精细定年揭示,普里兹带中泛非期造山作用过程从570Ma一直持续到490Ma,这与东非造山带的晚期碰撞阶段大致相吻合.因此,冈瓦纳超大陆的最后拼合可能是通过西冈瓦纳、印度-南极陆块和澳大利亚-南极陆块等三个陆块的近于同期碰撞来完成的.  相似文献   

内蒙古镶黄旗哈达庙金矿床含矿斑岩体形成时代和成矿构造背景   总被引：7，自引：4，他引：3

内蒙古中部镶黄旗哈达庙金矿床位于华北板块北缘的中亚造山带中东段,矿体受控于花岗斑岩体与围岩接触带,为斑岩型金矿床.运用激光剥蚀等离子体质谱仪(LA-ICP-MS)测定了含矿花岗斑岩中单颗粒锆石U-Pb年龄,获得15个测试点的加权平均年龄为271.8±3.3Ma(MSWD=2.3,n=15),表明花岗斑岩侵位年龄(或成矿年龄)为早二叠世.结合前人的岩相学、微量元素地球化学和同位素地球化学研究结果,认为哈达庙金矿区花岗斑岩可能形成于古生代末-三叠纪初的华北板块与西伯利亚古板块之间的大陆碰撞背景,俯冲板片部分熔融或者深熔作用形成的岩浆上侵为金矿的形成提供了成矿物质.  相似文献
