Corundum formation by metasomatic reactions in Archean metapelite,SW Greenland:Exploration vectors for ruby deposits within high-grade greenstone belts     

Chris Yakymchuk  Kristoffer Szilas 《地学前缘(英文版)》2018,9(3):727-749

Corundum (ruby-sapphire) is known to have formed in situ within Archean metamorphic rocks at several localities in the North Atlantic Craton of Greenland. Here we present two case studies for such occurrences: (1) Maniitsoq region (Kangerdluarssuk), where kyanite paragneiss hosts ruby corundum, and (2) Nuuk region (Storø), where sillimanite gneiss hosts ruby corundum. At both occurrences, ultramafic rocks (amphibole-peridotite) are in direct contact with the ruby-bearing zones, which have been transformed to mica schist by metasomatic reactions. The bulk-rock geochemistry of the ruby-bearing rocks is consistent with significant depletion of SiO₂ in combination with addition of Al₂O₃, MgO, K₂O, Th and Sr relative to an assumed aluminous precursor metapelite. Phase equilibria modelling supports ruby genesis from the breakdown of sillimanite and kyanite at elevated temperatures due to the removal of SiO₂. The juxtaposition of relatively silica- and aluminum-rich metasedimentary rocks with low silica ultramafic rocks established a chemical potential gradient that leached/mobilized SiO₂ allowing corundum to stabilize in the former rocks. Furthermore, addition of Al₂O₃ via a metasomatic reaction is required, because Al/Ti is fractionated between the aluminous precursor metapelites and the resulting corundum-bearing mica schist. We propose that Al was mobilized either by complexation with hydroxide at alkaline conditions, or that Al was transported as K-Al-Si-O polymers at deep crustal levels. The three main exploration vectors for corundum within Archean greenstone belts are: (1) amphibolite- to granulite-facies metamorphic conditions, (2) the juxtaposition of ultramafic rocks and aluminous metapelite, and (3) mica-rich reactions zones at their interface.  相似文献

黄福生  薛绥洲 《岩石学报》1990,6(4)

邯邢中基性侵入杂岩体中产有众多的岩石包体。作者在暗色闪长岩相中首次发现了超镁铁质岩包体,以方辉榄橄岩为主,由镁榄橄石(Fo=92±),顽火辉石(En=90±),铬透辉石和铬尖晶石组成,碎斑-平结构,发育扭折带。全岩SiO_2=41.02,MgO=42.24,∑EREE(3.95)甚低,稀土元素配分曲线显示特殊的向下凸的形状。δ~(18)O=6.5～7.0。辉石平衡温度约为1000℃,压力为20×10~8～22×10~8Pa。矿物-地球化学研究表明具上地幔岩特征,属A型包体,这在国内外文献中还未曾见过类似的报导。这个发现对探讨华北板块的地壳上地幔组成与演化,中生代构造岩浆活动的大地构造背景以及物质来源和邯邢式铁矿的成因将产生深远的影响。  相似文献

祁连山造山带目前已发现不同规模的超镁铁岩体（群）1000余个,产有铬铁矿床（点）和矿化点80余处,这些岩体及其矿产主要产在北祁连优地斜增生地体边部的海沟带中,少数产在祁连中间地块的边部。岩体成因类型为蛇绿岩组合中的超镁铁质单元,铬铁矿的富集部位是地幔橄榄岩和堆积杂岩带底部的纯橄榄岩。岩石多为铝过饱和系列,岩体的平均化学成分接近于斜辉橄榄岩;Cr₂0₃的平均含量大于0.40％,Al₂0₃的平均含量近于或者大于1％。铬尖晶石的化学参数特征反映出低铁富镁的介质对形成富铬尖晶石是有利的。富铬岩体中Cr、Co、Ti、V的含量较高。  相似文献   

风城碱性杂岩与有关含金刚石岩类对比的意义     

冉清昌  刘学珍 《吉林大学学报(地球科学版)》1993,(3)

迄今为止,对金刚石矿床的研究已取得了新的进展,国内外学音认为:“金伯利岩不是金刚石矿床的唯一母岩”,并且在碱性杂岩体中发现了许多具有工业价值的金刚石矿床。 通过对比辽宁凤城碱性杂岩与有关含金刚石矿床母岩(主要是钾镁煌斑岩)及其共生岩类的构造背景、岩石类型组合、矿物成分组合及岩石的主元素、微量元素和稀土元素特征,发现本区碱性杂岩体岩石与西澳钾镁煌斑岩很相似,尤其是与西澳白榴石钾镁煌斑岩最为接近,而在岩石类型和矿物组合特点上,又与美国阿肯色碱性岩区金刚石矿床母岩及其共生岩类组合颇为相似,这为我们进一步找寻金刚石矿床提供某些有益的信息。  相似文献   

苏鲁超高压变质带的岩浆型超镁铁原岩：来自中国大陆科学钻探主孔的亏损氧同位素证据   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

苏鲁超高压变质带有大量的超镁铁岩体，对这些岩体的成因的研究一直是一个热点。为了鉴别这个地区有无在俯冲进变质前经历过地壳浅部地质过程的超镁铁岩，本文利用BrF5气氛中用CO2红外激光熔样和质谱测试分析方法对中国大陆科学钻探工程主孔内603．20-683．53m深度的三个石榴单辉橄榄岩样品的单矿物橄榄石、石榴石、单斜辉石的氧同位素进行了分析。橄榄石的δ^18O值为＋3．31‰＋3．82‰；石榴石的为＋4．03‰＋4．10‰；单斜辉石的δ^18O值误差较大，平均值为＋2．10‰。这些矿物的氧同位素组成总地低于典型的地幔值。研究表明，岩石单矿物低δ^18O值是侵入到地壳浅部的超镁铁岩体与寒冷大气降水热液之间的氧同位素交换反应所造成，之后发生了与地壳围岩一齐的俯冲、超高压变质、折返退变质等过程。这是苏鲁地区首次发现的低δ^18O值的岩浆侵入型超镁铁岩体，具有重要的大陆动力学意义，从超镁铁岩方面证明了苏鲁地体可能是大别地体的东延部分。  相似文献   

Geobotanical and biogeochemical reconnaissance of the ultramafics of Central Iran     

S.M. Ghaderian  A.J.M. Baker 《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》2007

In Iran, ultramafic rocks cover substantial areas at many locations in the country. These rocks consist predominantly of peridotite which has been serpentinized to some degree. Anarak and Nain are two ultramafic areas in Central Iran comprising about 180 and 270 km², respectively, located in a coloured melange zone. There is little information available regarding the geobotany and biogeochemistry of these areas. They have a dry climate, with low rainfall and high temperatures in summer which encourages mostly annual and perennial herbaceous types of plants. In this paper, we report a reconnaissance study of these two ultramafic areas of Iran. Soil analysis of total elements indicates that typical concentrations of Ni, Cr, Co, Mn, Fe, Mg and Ca are about 1500, 300, 75, 800, 45.000 150.000 and 2000 μg g^− 1, respectively. During this study 176 plant species were collected, belonging to 29 families. The species diversity at Anarak is more than at Nain, possibly due to microclimatic differences and a greater precipitation. The number of plants endemic to ultramafic soils of these two areas is very low. The herb Cleome heratensis (Capparaceae) appears to be an indicator of ultramafics in Central Iran. Populations of this plant cover quite extensive areas during summer and autumn when there is no rainfall. Analysis of the dry matter of the leaves of all plants collected did not reveal any hyperaccumulator of nickel or any other ‘serpentine’ metals. The ultramafic endemic plant C. heratensis contained low concentrations of all metals and thus it possesses exclusion mechanisms to restrict excessive metal uptake. The Mg/Ca ratio for some plants collected is high—up to 4.9. This initial survey suggests that a more complete investigation of the ultramafic areas of Iran would be valuable.  相似文献

大坪金矿区闪长岩体中发育多条煌斑岩脉,并且多伴随石英脉出现。在岩石化学组成上,SiO2含量为44.86%~54.10%、K2O/Na2O在0.56~2.09之间,属钾玄质系列;岩石富集大离子亲石元素(Sr、U、Rb和Ba)和轻稀土元素(LREE)、相对亏损高场强元素(Ta、Nb和Ti),且Ta、Nb和Ti具"TNT"负异常;δEu值为0.72~1.36,负Eu异常不明显;87Sr/86Sr值范围为0.706 6~0.707 4,均值0.707 1,高于原始地幔现代值0.704 5;143Nd/144Nd值范围为0.512 4~0.512 5,均值0.512 4,低于原始地幔现代值0.512 638;εNd值范围为-2.5~-4.2,均值-3.98。Nb/Ta比值为48.96~82.58(平均62.99),远高于原始地幔值的17.5±2.0;Zr/Hf比值为20.45~47.53(平均39.57),略高于原始地幔值的36.27±2.0;Nb/Ta和Zr/Hf都远大于陆壳值11和33。表明煌斑岩源区可能来自早期俯冲洋壳或造山带根部拆沉组分脱水形成富集流体在地幔源区发生交代作用形成的富集地幔,岩浆在上升侵位过程中受到地壳物质的混染较弱,形成于碰撞后的板内构造环境。  相似文献
