阿尔金—祁连—昆仑(阿祁昆)造山带早古生代加里东期的构造事件一直是国内外研究的热点,近年来发表了大量的研究成果。本文着重调研了各造山带内构造混杂带的重要组成部分——蛇绿岩、岩浆岩和高压—超高压变质岩的地球化学特征,尤其是同位素年代学资料。蛇绿岩的地球化学特征表明阿尔金—祁连—昆仑地区早古生代的蛇绿岩有MORB和OIB两种类型,其产出于成熟的洋盆、小洋盆或是与消减带有关的弧前或弧后盆地,还有很大的争议。根据大量的同位素年代学资料,阿尔金—祁连—昆仑地区洋盆在晚新元古代开启,寒武纪发育成熟,于中—晚奥陶世开始发生俯冲消减作用,晚志留世—早泥盆世进入碰撞后伸展阶段。再者,通过同位素年代学数据对比,证明北阿尔金与北祁连、南阿尔金与柴达木北缘、西昆仑与东昆仑在早古生代分别为同一条构造带,于新生代期间被活动的阿尔金左行走滑断裂错开了400多千米。  相似文献

运用LA-ICP-MS方法对湘东南泗洲山地区南华系大江边组上部泥质岩和震旦系(埃迪卡拉系)埃岐岭组底部变泥铁质砂岩碎屑锆石进行U-Pb测年,分别获得了28组和92组U-Pb有效年龄.前者锆石年龄主要集中分布于693 ～ 897 Ma(占67.9％),1810 ～1916Ma(占17.9％),1974～2177Ma(占14.2％)三个区间,最年轻的谐和错石年龄为734 ±4Ma(MSWD=1.07,n=4);后者锆石年龄主要集中分布于570～699Ma(占9.8％),715～ 774Ma(占7.6％),882～1272Ma(占67.4％),1300～ 1681Ma(占7.6％),1899 ～2490Ma(占7.6％)五个区间,最年轻的谐和锆石年龄为634±7Ma(MSWD=1.09,n=4).研究认为,大江边组上部地层的形成时代＜734±4Ma,与澄江组顶部、牛牯坪组、岩门寨组、拱洞组及隆里组等地层形成时代相近,揭示“板溪期”地层的顶界年龄及江口冰期开启年龄＜ 734±4Ma;埃岐岭组形成时代＜634 ±7Ma,与陡山沱组及蓝田组等地层形成时代相近,支持南沱冰期结束于635Ma左右的认识.综合研究认为,大江边组和埃岐岭组的物源可能分别主要来源于武夷地块南东部和南岭—云开地块南部的一个Grenville期造山带.推测物源的转换可能与南岭—云开地块、武夷地块在两组沉积时期之间聚合或紧邻有关,其时限约为734～634Ma.  相似文献   

Geochronological constraints on the polymetamorphic evolution of the granulite‐hosted Challenger gold deposit: Implications for assembly of the northwest Gawler Craton     

A. G. Tomkins  W. J. Dunlap  J. A. Mavrogenes 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(1):1-14

A temperature‐time history for the granulite‐hosted Challenger gold deposit in the Christie Domain of the Gawler Craton, South Australia, has been derived using a range of isotopic decay systems including U–Pb, Sm–Nd, Rb–Sr and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar. Nd model ages and detrital zircon ages suggest a protolith age of ca 2900 Ma for the Challenger Gneiss. Gold mineralisation was probably introduced under greenschist/amphibolite‐facies conditions towards the end of the Archaean, between 2800 and 2550 Ma. However, evidence for the exact age and P‐T conditions of this event was almost completely removed by granulite‐facies metamorphism during the Sleafordian Orogeny, which peaked around ca 2447 Ma. Cooling to 350°C occurred before 2060 Ma. It is possible that the Christie Domain was then subject to further sedimentation and volcanism in the period ca 2000–1800 Ma before reburial and a second period of orogeny around ca 1710–1615 Ma. During this second orogeny, the eastern Christie Domain experienced heterogeneous fluid‐induced retrograde metamorphism at lower greenschist‐ to amphibolite‐facies conditions, with metamorphic grade varying between structural blocks. At this time, the Challenger deposit was subject to greenschist‐facies conditions (not significantly hotter than 350°C), while at Mt Christie (50 km to the south) lower amphibolite‐facies conditions prevailed and to the west the Ifould Block experienced extensive plutonism. A third very low‐temperature thermal pulse around ca 1531 Ma, which reached ～ 150–200°C, is recorded at the Challenger deposit. It is likely that the global Grenvillian Orogeny (1300–1000 Ma) was a major period of domain exhumation and juxtaposition.  相似文献   

Deformation history of the Naraku Batholith,Mt Isa Inlier,Australia: Implications for pluton ages and geometries from structural study of the Dipvale Granodiorite and Levian Granite     

B. K. Davis  P. J. Pollard  J. H. Lally  N. J. McNaughton  K. Blake  P. J. Williams 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(1):113-129

Plutons of the Naraku Batholith were emplaced into Proterozoic metasediments of the northern portion of the Eastern Fold Belt of the Mt Isa Inlier during two intrusive episodes approximately 200 million years apart. Structural relationships and geochronological data suggest that the older plutons (ca 1750 Ma) are contemporaneous with granites of the Wonga Batholith to the west. The Dipvale Granodiorite and the Levian Granite represent these older intrusive phases of the Naraku Batholith, and both contain an intense tectonic foliation, S₁, which is interpreted to have formed during the north‐south shortening associated with D₁ of the Isan Orogeny. The geometry of S₁ form surfaces at the southern end of the Dipvale Granodiorite, and of the previously unrecognised sheeted contact, defines a macroscopic, steeply south‐southwest‐plunging antiform, which was produced by the regional D₂ of the Isan Orogeny. S₁ form surfaces in the Levian Granite define open F₂ folds with wavelengths of several hundred metres. The structural age of emplacement of the Dipvale Granodiorite and the Levian Granite is interpreted to be pre‐ or syn‐ the regional D₁. An intense foliation present in some of the younger (ca 1505 Ma) granites that comprise the bulk of the Naraku Batholith is interpreted to represent S₃ of the Isan Orogeny. Foliations commonly have similar styles and orientations in both the pre‐D₁ and younger plutons. This emphasises the simplicity with which regional fabrics can be, and probably have been, miscorrelated in the Eastern Fold Belt, and that the classification of granites in general on the basis of structural and geometric criteria alone is fraught with danger.  相似文献   

Structure and age of the northern Leeuwin Complex,Western Australia: Constraints from field mapping and U–Pb isotopic analysis     

A. S. Collins 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(4):585-599

Rocks in the northern Leeuwin Complex of southwestern Australia preserve evidence of having formed during the breakup of Rodinia and the subsequent amalgamation of Gondwana. Detailed field mapping, structural investigation and U–Pb isotopic zircon analysis, using the Sensitive High‐mass Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP), have revealed that: (i) protoliths of pink granite gneiss and grey granodiorite gneiss crystallised at ca 750 Ma, coeval with breakup of western Rodinia; (ii) granulite/upper amphibolite facies metamorphism occurred at 522 ± 5 Ma, in the Early Cambrian, ～100 million years later than previous estimates and of identical age to estimates of the final amalgamation of Gondwana; and (iii) three major phases of ductile deformation occurred during or after this metamorphism and represent a progressive strain evolution from subvertical shortening (D1) to subhorizontal east‐west (D2) then north‐northwest‐south‐southeast (D3) contraction.  相似文献   

An apparent magmatic cycle in the Tasman geosyncline     

Germaine A. Joplin 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(1):51-69

The igneous events of two geosynclines within the N.S.W. portion of the Tasman Orthogeosyncline are compared, not according to the actual ages of the igneous rocks, but on the basis of their position with respect to the development of the geosyncline. Thus, Cambrian volcanic rocks in one depositional area are compared with Lower Devonian in the other, Ordovician and Silurian with Middle Devonian‐Lower Carboniferous, and Devonian with Permian. Intrusive rocks are fitted into this scheme, and their ages discussed. Such a comparison reveals an apparent igneous cycle, and speculations on the cause of such a cycle are outlined.  相似文献   

On the geology of the Indoburman ranges     

R. O. Brunnschweiler 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(1):137-194

The mountains of western and northwestern Burma consist chiefly of colossal accumulations of Palaeocene to Eocene (Arakan and Chin Hills) or Senonian to Eocene (Naga Hills) Flysch of varying, including “exotic”, facies.

The main frontal thrust zone of the Alpino‐Himalayan Tectogene lies along and within the easternmost ranges of this Indoburman system, not along the western margin (Shan Scarp) of the Sinoburman Highlands. Some of the highest mountains in the Naga Hills are “Klippen” of metamorphics lying on Flysch.

The Flysch ranges arose during the Oligocene but along the Arakan Coast there is ample evidence of an equally important earlier orogenic phase (latest Cretaceous) now almost totally buried beneath the western half of the Indoburman system and the post‐Oligocene “Argille Scagliose” and “Macigno” on‐lapping eastwards from the Bengal‐Assam embayment.

The lowlands of Central and Lower Burma do not represent a foreland feature, but an intramontane Molasse‐filled basin to which the sea retained access because of a general southerly plunge of the Alpine Tectogene. Geotec‐tonically, it is analogous to the Tibetan Plateau, not the Indo‐Gangetic lowlands.  相似文献   

Optical and infra‐red studies on high‐temperature Alkali Feldspars     

Dov Bahat 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(1):93-102

In ternary feldspars of essentially one phase, calcium content has a dominant influence on the optic axial angle. In such feldspars and also in binary feldspars from solvsbergite rocks, variations of cooling histories do not significantly affect the optic axial angle. In ternary feldspars which are unmixed into two or three prominent phases, Al/Si ordering has an important effect on the 2V value. A recent suggestion of several writers that in feldspars the alkali structural site may be partially occupied by (H3O)+ ions is applied as a possible way to explain a correlation observed between petrographical features of the rocks and the optic axial angles of their feldspar phenocrysts.  相似文献   

Correlation of the upper devonian rocks of Australia     

J. Roberts  P. J. Jones  J. S. Jell  T. B. H. Jenkins  M. A. H. Marsden  R. G. Mckellar 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(4):467-490

A heavy mineral concentrate from the undeformed Mundi Mundi Granite N of Broken Hill yielded very few zircons. U‐Th‐Pb measurements on microgram fractions of those extracted showed no indication of the stock's true 1500–1600 Ma intrusive event but revealed something inherited and of an age probably greater than 2 Ga. These zircons, either survivors of those inherited from the magma source or accidental inclusions from the wall rocks, may either represent sedimentary accumulations in the lower Willyama Supergroup with an older craton source i.e. provenance, or indicate the presence of a pre‐Willyama Supergroup basement. Considerable loss of Pb from the zircons is deduced to have occurred at (1) the time of granite intrusion, (2) in the lower Palaeozoic, and, (3) in the case of ²⁰⁸Pb, probably right up to recent time.  相似文献

The Archaean granite‐greenstone rocks of the Marymia Inlier outcrop within Proterozoic rocks forming the Capricorn Orogen. Five major deformation events are recognised in the rocks of the Plutonic Well and Baumgarten greenstone belts. The first two events were Late Archaean and synchronous with major epithermal gold mineralisation in the belts. Palaeoproterozoic extensional faulting was probably related to the early stages of the Capricorn Orogeny. The fourth event records a compressional phase of the Capricorn Orogeny associated with greenschist‐facies metamorphism, whereas the last major event involved wrench faulting associated with minor folding. The Archaean tectonic history, rock types and timing of mineralisation strongly suggest that the Marymia Inlier is part of the Yilgarn Craton, and that each of the provinces in the craton experienced the same geological history since 2.72 Ga. The inlier is now interpreted to include two components; one is the eastern or northern extension of either the Narryer Terrane, Murchison Province or Southern Cross Province, and the other is the northwestern extension of the Eastern Goldfields Province. The Jenkin Fault, which was active in Proterozoic times, separates these two components.  相似文献
