Provenance of the Langjiexue Group to the south of the Yarlung-Tsangpo Suture Zone in southeastern Tibet: Insights on the evolution of the Neo-Tethys Ocean in the Late Triassic     

《International Geology Review》2012,54(3):341-360

ABSTRACT

The Upper Triassic Langjiexue Group, which lies immediately south of the Yarlung-Tsangpo Suture Zone in the Shannan area of southeastern Tibet, represents an important part of the Tethyan Himalayan Sequence (THS). Its provenance and palaeogeography have been the subject of debate. We present new data on petrographic composition, whole-rock geochemistry, and detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology to constrain the provenance of the Langjiexue Group. The dominance of quartz grains and felsic volcanic lithic fragments suggests that the sandstones are litho-quartzose. The trace element geochemical signatures (V–Ni–Th*10, Co/Th–La/Sc, Eu/Eu*–Th/Sc) suggest derivation from felsic igneous sources. The detrital zircon age spectra display three major peaks: a Meso-to-Neoproterozoic peak (1200–900 Ma, 7–18%), a Neoproterozoic-to-Late Cambrian peak (750–500 Ma, 32–65%), and a Late Carboniferous-to-Late Triassic peak (300–200 Ma, 11–33%). The maximum depositional age of early Carnian (236–235 Ma) is obtained by calculating weighted average ages of the youngest zircons (≤250 Ma). The youngest age cluster (300–200 Ma) is incompatible with sources from neighbouring terranes, including the South Qiangtang terrane, Lhasa terrane, THS, and Higher Himalayan Crystalline. Correlations of the Permian–Triassic zircons with those of time-equivalent strata in northwest Australia, west Burma, and the Banda Arc unveil a potential connection to the Tasmanides along the convergent margin of eastern Australia. The New England Orogen (300–230 Ma) could have supplied the Langjiexue Group with magmatic materials via continent-scale drainage systems or a submarine fan complex. This scenario provides a new perspective into the transport of detritus from distal orogens to sedimentary basins thousands of kilometres away.  相似文献   

Zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions of two types of supracrustal rocks in the Northeastern Sulu UHP terrane: constraints on the surface boundary between South China and North China     

《International Geology Review》2012,54(5):539-561

ABSTRACT

There are voluminous ultrahigh pressure-related orthogneisses and minor metamorphic supracrustal rocks in the northeastern Sulu UHP terrane (NSL), East China. The tectonic affinities of the supracrustal rocks are crucial for unravelling the deep continental subduction processes and locating the tectonic suture between the South China (SCB) and North China (NCB) blocks. In this contribution, we report new zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotope data for the supracrustal rocks and metagabbros in the Zeku region of the NSL. In the Zeku region, the supracrustal rocks are spatially associated with granitic gneisses, metagabbros, and eclogites. Detrital zircon U–Pb analyses yield ages between 3.39 and 0.65 Ga that cluster as three major age populations including (1) 2.15–1.68 Ga with two subpeaks at ~1.83 Ga and~1.97 Ga, (2) 2.45–2.15 Ga with a peak at ~2.37 Ga, and (3) 0.79–0.65 Ga. In addition, there is a small age population between 3.39 and 2.61 Ga. The youngest age population of 0.79–0.65 Ga indicates that the Zeku supracrustal rocks must have been deposited after 650 Ma rather than during the Palaeoproterozoic as previously thought. The 210–190 Ma metamorphic ages suggest that the Zeku rocks were affected by Triassic collision–subduction and exhumation. Most of the Archaean-Palaeoproterozoic zircons have negative ε_Hf(t) values and two-stage Hf model ages concentrating at 2.4–3.4 Ga (peak at ~2.9 Ga), indicating that source rocks of these zircons were mainly derived from recycling of ancient crustal material. These ages, together with the Hf isotopic compositions and rock assemblages, indicate that the Zeku supracrustal rocks were mainly derived from the Precambrian basement rocks of the northern Yangzte Block and have a tectonic affinity to the SCB, rather than the NCB. Our results, together with previously published data, suggest that there are two types of supracrustal rocks with different zircon U–Pb ages and tectonic affinities in the NSL. On the basis of new data, we suggest that the surface boundary between the SCB and NCB in the Jiaodong Peninsula is a complicated tectonic mélange zone rather than a single fault.  相似文献

玉勒肯哈腊苏铜矿是近几年准噶尔北缘卡拉先格尔斑岩铜矿带发现的又一个中型斑岩铜矿,其成岩成矿年代学的研究可以对矿床模型构建、区域成矿规律的总结提供制约。矿区侵入岩发育,矿化主要受闪长玢岩控制,少部分赋存在似斑状黑云母石英二长岩和北塔山组火山岩、火山碎屑岩中。本文利用锆石LA-ICP-MSU-Pb法和辉钼矿Re-Os法对矿区岩体和矿化进行了成岩成矿年代学研究。结合前人的研究,认为矿区存在5次主要岩浆侵入事件:382Ma石英闪长岩侵入,379Ma形成含矿闪长玢岩,375～374Ma形成似斑状黑云石英二长岩,348Ma形成黑云母石英斑岩脉,266Ma形成二长斑岩,前三次岩浆侵入活动对应构造环境为板块俯冲阶段,后二次岩浆侵入活动为后碰撞阶段。9件辉钼矿样品Re-Os同位素等时线年龄为373.9±2.2Ma,表明铜钼成矿时代为中泥盆世晚期,与闪长玢岩侵入有关。  相似文献

作为一种特殊产状的岩浆岩,岩墙保存有岩浆活动和地球动力学背景等方面的重要信息。为了研究和探讨西准噶尔乃至中亚地区古生代晚期的地球动力学环境,我们对西准噶尔地区侵入花岗岩的暗色岩墙开展了卫星遥感影像解译、地表地质调查和相关室内研究工作。研究发现,新疆西准噶尔红山花岗岩体中发育大量环状和非环状闪长岩岩墙。环状岩墙从中心到外围,岩墙宽度逐渐变窄,矿物粒度也逐渐变细;非环状岩墙切割环状岩墙,宽度和矿物粒度都没有明显变化。为了确定这些岩墙的形成时代,对3个环状岩墙样品、2个非环状岩墙和1个花岗岩样品进行了锆石LA-ICP-MSU-Pb定年,得到环状岩墙的年龄为:304±1Ma、302±1Ma、303±1Ma;非环状岩墙的年龄为:302±1Ma、302±1Ma;花岗岩的年龄为304±1Ma。结合不同类型岩墙及其与岩体的穿切关系,确定红山岩体的形成时代为304Ma左右,环状岩墙的形成时代为303Ma左右,非环状岩墙的形成时代为302Ma左右。这一年代学研究成果揭示出西准噶尔地区在石炭纪末期发育不同类型的岩浆活动,闪长质岩墙所占据的裂隙是在石炭纪末期形成的;为从岩浆活动和由这些岩墙所占据的裂隙研究,探讨该区古生代晚期的地球动力学环境,提供了有力的时间约束。  相似文献   

江南造山带西南段梵净山地区镁铁质-超镁铁质岩:形成时代、地球化学特征与构造环境   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

梵净山地区位于江南造山带的西南缘,这里新元古代的镁铁质-超镁铁质岩浆岩广泛发育,岩性包括枕状熔岩、超镁铁质-镁铁质岩床群以及浅成侵入的辉长岩,成分属拉斑玄武岩系列。其中枕状熔岩以富集轻稀土元素和Rb、Ba、Th、U等强不相容元素,亏损高场强元素Nb和Ta,低的εNd(t)值为特征,明显不同于洋脊玄武岩,推测其成因可能与富集型地幔的部分熔融有关,形成于与俯冲有关的弧后小洋盆环境。超镁铁质-镁铁质岩床群主要由辉绿岩和碳酸辉橄岩组成,其中超镁铁质岩床群中出现大量的原生碳酸盐矿物,指示它们形成于拉张(甚至裂谷)的构造环境。辉长岩可能是区内最晚形成的岩浆岩,其SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为821±4Ma。由枕状熔岩经超镁铁质-镁铁质岩床群到辉长岩,高场强元素Nb和Ta的亏损程度减弱、轻稀土元素的富集程度降低、εNd(t)值由负值变为正值,指示随时间的由早到晚,来自亏损地幔的物质不断增加。推测梵净山地区新元古代岩浆作用的顺序大致为:枕状熔岩(～840Ma)→白云母花岗岩(～838Ma)→碳酸超镁铁质岩床群→镁铁质岩床群→辉长岩(～821Ma),构造环境由俯冲-碰撞到拉张-裂谷。  相似文献

冰沟蛇绿混杂岩是阿尔金山红柳沟蛇绿混杂岩带的东段部分,岩石组合包括蛇纹岩、方辉橄榄岩、辉石岩和辉长岩等。蛇纹岩具高Mg,Mg/Fe值大于9,低Al、Ca、Na、K为特征,从稀土元素和微量元素特征来看,基性辉长岩和洋壳以及洋中脊玄武岩极为相似,而超基性岩与原始地幔较为接近。辉长岩获得锆石SHRIMP年龄为449.5±10.9Ma。蛇绿混杂岩的围岩为一套巨厚的碎屑岩、火山碎屑岩、火山岩,以及部分碳酸盐岩构成,其中含有具有洋中脊特征的枕状构造玄武岩,以及放射虫硅质岩,放射虫时代为奥陶纪中晚期,与辉长岩的SHRIMP年龄一致。这些证据进一步证实了红柳沟一带存在早古生代洋盆的地质事实。  相似文献

阿尔金山东段喀腊大湾地区位于北东向阿尔金走滑断裂北侧与东西向阿尔金北缘断裂所夹持的区域,该区广泛发育中酸性侵入岩,前人将其确定为晚古生代。本文运用锆石SHRIMPU-Pb方法对该区的中酸性侵入岩进行测年,获得413～514Ma的年龄,确认喀腊大湾地区早古生代岩浆活动的存在。结合前人其他方法测年数据和红柳沟一带(喀腊大湾以西180km)中酸性侵入岩的SHRIMP测年资料和蛇绿岩的时代,将阿尔金山东段喀腊大湾地区中酸性岩浆活动划分为碰撞前岩浆活动(520～500Ma)、碰撞期岩浆活动(490～470Ma)和碰撞后岩浆活动(440～410Ma)三个阶段。  相似文献

聂荣微陆块呈透镜体状夹持在班公湖-怒江板块缝合带内,其上出露有黑云母花岗片麻岩以及二长花岗片麻岩等不同类型的古老片麻岩,本文报道产出于聂荣微陆块上花岗片麻岩的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果,样品锆石的岩浆震荡环带十分发育,多数锆石具有典型的岩浆结晶锆石的特征。所有测点中有16个测点的Th/U值较高,介于0.58~1.24之间,平均值为0.79,获得的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄基本一致,加权平均值为819.6±5.2Ma,笔者等认为该年龄代表了花岗片麻岩的原岩结晶时代为新元古代。我们在羌塘南部地区的碎屑岩中获得了同样的年龄峰值(809Ma)。此外,我们认为年龄中具有507Ma左右的信息反映了泛非事件之后另外一次强烈构造热事件的影响在该区的存在。  相似文献
