Abstract

The Shyok suture zone separates the Ladakh terrane to the SW from the Karakoram terrane to the NE. Six tectonic units have been distinguished. From south to north these are; 1. Saltoro formation; 2. Shyok volcanites; 3. Saltoro molasse; 4. Ophiolitic melange; 5. Tirit granitoids; 6. Karakoram terrane including the Karakoram batholith. Albian—Aptian Orbitolina-bearing lime-stones and turbidites of the Saltoro formation tectonically overlie high-Mg-tholeiites similar to the tectonically overlying Shyok volcanites. The high-Mg tholeiitic basalts and calcalkaline andesites of the Shyok volcanites show an active margin signature. The Saltoro molasse is an apron-like, moderately folded association of redgreen shales and sandstones that are interbedded with ~ 50 m porphyritic andesite. Desiccation cracks and rain-drop imprints indicate deposition in a subaerial fluvial environment. Rudist fragments from a polygenic conglomerate of the Saltoro molasse document a post-Middle Cretaceous age. The calcalkaline andesites of the Shyok volcanites are intruded by the Tirit granitoids, which are located immediately south of the Ophiolitic melange and belong to a weakly deformed trondhjemite-tonalite-granodiorite-granite suite. These granitoids are subalkaline, I-type and were emplaced in a volcanic arc setting. The subalkaline to calcalkaline granitoids of the Karakoram batholith are I-and S-type granitoid. The I-type granitoids represent a typical calcalkaline magmatism of a subduction zone environment whereas the S-type granitoids are crustderived, anatectic peraluminous granites. New data suggest that the volcano-plutonic and sedimentary successions of the Shyok suture zone exposed in northern Ladakh are equivalent to the successions exposed along the Northern suture in Kohistan. It is likely that the o istan and Ladakh blocks evolved as one single tectonic domain uring the Cretaceous-Palaeogene. Subsequently, collision, suturing and accretion of the Indian plate along the Indus suture (50–60 Ma) together with tectonic activity along the Nanga Parbataramosh divided Kohistan and Ladakh into two arealy distinct magmatic arc terranes. The activity and a dextral offset along the Karakoram fault (Holocene-Recent) disrupted the original tectonic relationships. © 1999 Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS  相似文献   

Geology of the northern side of the Gulf of Edremit and its tectonic significance for the development of the Aegean grabens     

Yücel Yılmaz  Zekiye Karacık 《Geodinamica Acta》2013,26(1-3):31-43

Abstract

This paper describes the Neogene evolution of north-Western Anatolia based on geological data collected in the course of a new mapping program. The geological history of the region, as recorded by the Neogene sedimentary and magmatic rocks that overlie the Paleozoic-Triassic basement, began after a lake invasion during the Early Miocene period with the deposition of shale-dominated successions. They were accompanied by calc-alkaline intermediate lavas and pyroclastic rocks ejected through NNE trending fractures and faults. The Lower-Middle Miocene successions were deformed under a compressional regime at the end of the Middle Miocene. The deposition of the overlying Upper Miocene-Lower Pliocene successions was restricted to within NE-SW trending graben basins. The graben bounding faults are oblique with a major strike-slip displacement, formed under approximately the N-S extension. The morphological irregularities formed during the Miocene graben formations were obliterated during a severe erosional phase to the end of the deposition of this lacustrine succession. The present E–W graben system as exemplified from the well-developed Edremit graben, postdates the erosional phase, which has formed during the Plio-Quaternary period. © 2001 Éditions Scientifiques et médicates Elsevier SAS  相似文献

通过野外构造变形解析得出,江西上饶船坑—铜山一带铜矿床及其相关的侵入岩体主要受中生代推覆构造控制。推覆构造面总体倾向SE,表现为波状起伏。推覆构造外来岩系为中石炭统至上三叠统碳酸盐岩及页岩、泥质粉砂岩,原地岩系为下侏罗统地层。外来岩系变形大多呈同斜褶皱,并伴生不同规模逆冲断层及顺层滑脱构造,局部存在平卧及箱状褶皱; 原地岩系变形亦较强烈。推覆构造表现为自SE向NW的运动。成矿岩体大多呈相互平行的薄层状,岩席侵位于上述推覆体外来岩系顺层滑脱带中。岩石地球化学及同位素年代学分析表明成矿岩体具挤压机制下岩浆弧特征,形成于170 Ma。结合推覆构造卷入的地层、研究区外围德兴一带同类型侵入岩与中生代推覆构造关系的讨论,认为上饶船坑—铜山一带与铜多金属矿相关的中生代石英二长斑岩为受同时代推覆构造变形控制的同构造岩浆岩,可能与中生代古太平洋板块向中国东南大陆俯冲导致岩石圈增厚发生大规模推覆构造,并诱发下地壳重熔岩浆侵位至浅表顺层滑脱空间有关。  相似文献   

Geochemistry and geochronology of Late Triassic volcanic rocks in the Chiang Khong region, northern Thailand     

Weerapan  Srichan  Anthony J.  Crawford  Ronald F.  Berry 《Island Arc》2009,18(1):32-51

The Chiang Khong segment of the Chiang Khong–Lampang–Tak Volcanic Belt is composed of three broadly meridional sub‐belts of mafic to felsic volcanic, volcaniclastic, and associated intrusive rocks. Associated sedimentary rocks are largely non‐marine red beds and conglomerates. Three representative Chiang Khong lavas have Late Triassic (223–220 Ma) laser ablation inductively coupled mass‐spectroscopy U–Pb zircon ages. Felsic‐dominated sequences in the Chiang Khong Western and Central Sub‐belts are high‐K calc–alkaline rocks that range from basaltic to dominant felsic lavas with rare mafic dykes. The Western Sub‐belt lavas have slightly lower high field strength element contents at all fractionation levels than equivalent rocks from the Central Sub‐belt. In contrast, the Eastern Sub‐belt is dominated by mafic lavas and dykes with compositions transitional between E‐mid‐oceanic ridge basalt and back‐arc basin basalts. The Eastern Sub‐belt rocks have higher FeO* and TiO₂ and less light rare earth element enrichment than basalts in the high‐K sequences. Basaltic and doleritic dykes in the Western and Central sub‐belts match the composition of the Eastern Sub‐belt lavas and dykes. A recent geochemical study of the Chiang Khong rocks concluded that they were erupted in a continental margin volcanic arc setting. However, based on the dominance of felsic lavas and the mainly non‐marine associated sediments, we propose an alternative origin, in a post‐collisional extensional setting. A major late Middle to early Late Triassic collisional orogenic event is well documented in northern Thailand and Yunnan. We believe that the paucity of radiometric dates for arc‐like lavas in the Chiang Khong–Lampang–Tak Volcanic Belt that precede this orogenic event, coupled with the geochemistry of the Chiang Khong rocks, and strong compositional analogies with other post‐collisional magmatic suites, are features that are more typical of volcanic belts formed in a rapidly evolving post‐collisional, basin‐and range‐type extensional setting.  相似文献   

福建紫金山矿田早白垩世以来构造演化和成岩成矿时空格架     

潘天望  袁远  吕勇  史文强 《地质力学学报》2019,25(1):61-76

在充分吸收已有工作成果的基础上,文章系统总结了紫金山矿田的典型矿床类型及特征,探讨了早白垩世伸展构造背景下该矿田成岩成矿作用与北西向上杭—云霄成矿带的关系,并建立了早白垩世（145 Ma~）到晚白垩世早期（~92 Ma）紫金山矿田成岩成矿作用的时空格架。研究认为由于古太平洋板块俯冲作用体系的影响,早白垩世以来（145 Ma~）紫金山矿田总体上受北西向上杭—云霄深断裂多次活化作用的控制,依次经历了145~120 Ma伸展初期小规模的岩浆—成矿活动、125~110 Ma短暂的岩浆间歇期、110~92 Ma幔源物质大规模参与的岩浆活动及相应的斑岩型—浅成低温热液型（Cu-Au-Mo-Ag）多金属成矿作用。   相似文献   

水与大火成岩省的形成     

陈欢  顾笑龑  夏群科 《矿物岩石地球化学通报》2019,(2):248-259,445

大火成岩省(LIPs)是发生在板块内部的超大规模岩浆活动的产物,其成因一直是地学界研究的前沿和热点。影响LIPs形成的主要因素包括温度、压力、源岩性质和源区水含量,虽然已积累较多的成果,但对于地幔源区中的水是否影响及如何影响LIPs的形成,目前还知之甚少。本文回顾了已有的实测LIPS水含量研究工作,并介绍了一种新的分析手段,即利用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)测定早期结晶的单斜辉石斑晶水含量,然后结合水在单斜辉石斑晶和熔体间的分配系数来反演得到LIPs的"原始"水含量。通过塔里木和峨眉山两个大火成岩省的研究实例,综合评价了温度、压力、源岩性质和水含量这4个因素的影响,指出很可能只有当这些因素同时具备了才能产生LIPs。  相似文献   

Phanerozoic magmatism in the Proterozoic Cuddapah Basin and its connection with the Pangean supercontinent     

《地学前缘(英文版)》2019,10(6):2239-2249

Magmatic pulses in intraplate sedimentary basins are windows to understand the tectonomagmatic evolution and paleaoposition of the Basin.The present study reports the U-Pb zircon ages of mafic flows from the Cuddapah Basin and link these magmatic events with the Pangean evolution during late Carboniferous-Triassic/Phanerozoic timeframe.Zircon U-Pb geochronology for the basaltic lava flows from Vempalle Formation,Cuddapah Basin suggests two distinct Phanerozoic magmatic events coinciding with the amalgamation and dispersal stages of Pangea at 300 Ma(Late Carboniferous) and 227 Ma(Triassic).Further,these flows are characterized by analogous geochemical and geochronological signatures with Phanerozoic counterparts from Siberian,Panjal Traps,Emeishan and Tarim LIPs possibly suggesting their coeval and cogenetic nature.During the Phanerozoic Eon,the Indian subcontinent including the Cuddapah Basin was juxtaposed with the Pangean LIPs which led to the emplacement of these pulses of magmatism in the Basin coinciding with the assemblage of Pangea and its subsequent breakup between 400 Ma and 200 Ma.  相似文献   

华北地区晚中生代镁铁质岩浆作用及其地球动力学背景   总被引：20，自引：13，他引：7  

范蔚茗  郭锋 《大地构造与成矿学》2005,29(1):44-55

华北陆块及周缘地区晚中生代镁铁质岩浆岩的元素-同位素地球化学特征显示岩石圈地幔的区域不均一性。华北内部为古老而富集的EM1型岩石圈地幔,主要岩性为弥散状金云母相橄榄岩;华北北缘的岩石圈地幔相对华北内部在化学成分上饱满,在微量元素特征上高度富集LILE、LREE和亏损Nb-Ta和U-Th,在同位素组成上相对高87Sr/86Sr(i)和εNd(t),为受到再循环古老陆壳组分改造的富集型地幔;华北陆块南缘的岩石圈地幔以高87Sr/86Sr(i)和低εNd(t)为特征,与深俯冲大陆地壳改造作用 (残留陆壳板片和熔体 -地幔反应等多种形式 )密切相关。发育在华北陆块及周缘地区的晚中生代镁铁质岩浆作用形成于岩石圈伸展 -减薄的统一动力学背景。考虑到晚中生代华北陆块受到了来自周缘陆块相互作用,如西南特提斯域构造演化、印支陆块和西伯利亚板块的侧向挤压作用和古太平洋板块迅速向北运动引起的走滑拉分作用的共同影响, 我们倾向认为这些板块边界作用引起的板内效应可能是导致华北岩石圈地幔晚中生代广泛熔融和岩石圈减薄的重要动力来源.  相似文献   

Precambrian mafic magmatism in the Western Dharwar Craton,southern India     

M. Ramakrishnan 《Journal of the Geological Society of India》2009,73(1):101-116

Mafic rocks of Western Dharwar Craton (WDC) belong to two greenstone cycles of Sargur Group (3.1–3.3 Ga) and Dharwar Supergroup (2.6–2.8 Ga), belonging to different depositional environments. Proterozoic mafic dyke swarms (2.4, 2.0–2.2 and 1.6 Ga) constitute the third important cycle. Mafic rocks of Sargur Group mainly constitute a komatiitic-tholeiite suite, closely associated with layered basic-ultrabasic complexes. They form linear ultramaficmafic belts, and scattered enclaves associated with orthoquartzite-carbonate-pelite-BIF suite. Since the country rocks of Peninsular Gneiss intrude these rocks and dismember them, stratigraphy of Sargur Group is largely conceptual and its tectonic environment speculative. It is believed that the Sargur tholeiites are not fractionated from komatiites, but might have been generated and evolved from a similar mantle source at shallower depths. The layered basic-ultrabasic complexes are believed to be products of fractionation from tholeiitic parent magma. The Dharwar mafic rocks are essentially a bimodal basalt-rhyolite association that is dominated by Fe-rich and normal tholeiites. Calc-alkaline basalts and andesites are nearly absent, but reference to their presence in literature pertains mainly to carbonated, spilitized and altered tholeiitic suites. Geochemical discrimination diagrams of Dharwar lavas favour island arc settings that include fore-, intra- and back-arcs. The Dharwar mafic rocks are possibly derived by partial melting of a lherzolite mantle source and involved in fractionation of olivine and pyroxene followed by plagioclase. Distinctive differences in the petrography and geochemistry of mafic rocks across regional unconformities between Sargur Group and Dharwar Supergroup provide clinching evidences in favour of distinguishing two greenstone cycles in the craton. This has also negated the earlier preliminary attempts to lump together all mafic volcanics into a single contemporaneous suite, leading to erroneous interpretations. After giving allowances for differences in depositional and tectonic settings, the chemical distinction between Sargur and Dharwar mafic suites throws light on secular variations and crustal evolution. Proterozoic mafic dyke swarms of three major periods (2.4, 2.0–2.2 and 1.6 Ga) occur around Tiptur and Hunsur. The dykes also conform to the regional metamorphic gradient, with greenschist facies in the north and granulite facies in the south, resulting from the tilt of the craton towards north, exposing progressively deeper crustal levels towards the south. The low-grade terrain in the north does not have recognizable swarms, but the Tiptur swarm consists essentially of amphibolites and Hunsur swarm mainly of basic granulites, all of them preserving cross-cutting relations with host rocks, chilled margins and relict igneous textures. There are also younger dolerite dykes scattered throughout the craton that are unaffected by this metamorphic zonation. Large-scale geochemical, geochronological and palaeomagnetic data acquisition through state-of-the-art instrumentation is urgently needed in the Dharwar craton to catch up with contemporary advancements in the classical greenstone terrains of the world.  相似文献   

Mantle-derived mafic-ultramafic xenoliths and the nature of Indian sub-continental lithosphere     

N. R. Karmalkar  R. A. Duraiswami  N. V. Chalapathi Rao  D. K. Paul 《Journal of the Geological Society of India》2009,73(5):657-679

Mantle derived xenoliths in India are known to occur in the Proterozoic ultrapotassic rocks like kimberlites from Dharwar and Bastar craton and Mesozoic alkali igneous rocks like lamrophyres, nephelinites and basanites. The xenoliths in kimberlites are represented by garnet harzburgites, lherzolites, wehrlite, olivine clinopyroxenites and kyaniteeclogite varieties. The PT conditions estimated for xenoliths from the Dharwar craton suggest that the lithosphere was at least 185 km thick during the Mid-Proterozoic period. The ultrabasic and eclogite xenoliths have been derived from depths of 100–180 km and 75–150 km respectively. The Kalyandurg and Brahmanpalle clusters have sampled the typical Archaean subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) with a low geotherm (35 mW/m²) and harzburgitic to lherzolitic rocks with median X_mg ^olivine > 0.93. The base of the depleted lithosphere at 185–195 km depth is marked by a 10–15 km layer of strongly metasomatised peridotites (X_mg ^olivine > ∼0.88). The Anampalle and Wajrakarur clusters 60 km to the NW show a distinctly different SCLM; it has a higher geotherm (37.5 to 40 mW/m²) and contains few subcalcic harzburgites, and has a median X_mg ^olivine = 0.925. In contrast, the kimberlites of the Uravakonda and WK-7 clusters sampled quite fertile (median X_mg ^olivine ∼0.915) SCLM with an elevated geotherm (> 40 mW/m²). The lamrophyres, basanites and melanephelinites associated with the Deccan Volcanic Province entrain both ultramafic and mafic xenoliths. The ultramafic group is represented by (i) spinel lherzolites, harzburgites, and (ii) pyroxenites. Single pyroxene granulite and two pyroxene granulites constitutes the mafic group. Temperature estimates for the West Coast xenoliths indicate equilibration temperatures of 500–900°C while the pressure estimates vary between 6–11 kbar corresponding to depths of 20–35 km. This elevated geotherm implies that the region is characterized by abnormally high heat flow, which is also supported by the presence of linear array of hot springs along the West Coast. Spinel peridotite xenoliths entrained in the basanites and melanephelinites from the Kutch show low equilibrium temperatures (884–972°C). The estimated pressures obtained on the basis of the absence of both plagioclase and garnet in the xenoliths and by referring the temperatures to the West Coast geotherm is ∼ 15 kbar (40–45 km depth). The minimum heat flow of 60 to 70 mW/m² has been computed for the Kutch xenolith (Bhujia hill), which is closely comparable to the oceanic geotherm. Xenolith studies from the West Coast and Kutch indicate that the SCLM beneath is strongly metasomatised although the style of metasomatism is different from that below the Dharwar Craton.  相似文献
