The tectonic development of a continental margin is recorded in the stratigraphic successions preserved along and across the margin in terms of stratal relationships (e.g., onlap, downlap, truncation), lithofacies, biostratigraphy, and paleo-water depths. By using these observations coupled to a kinematic and flexural model for the deformation of the lithosphere, we have elucidated the tectonic significance of the preserved stratigraphy that comprises the Gabon-Cabinda margin of west Africa. Two hinge zones, an Eastern and Atlantic, formed along the Gabon-Cabinda margin in response to three discrete extensional events occuring from Berriasian to Aptian time. The Eastern hinge zone demarcates the eastern limit of a broadly distributed Berriasian extension that resulted in the formation of deep anoxic, lacustrine systems as evidenced by the silts and shales of the Sialivakou and lower Djeno Formations and the regressive packages of the upper Djeno Formation. Approximately 1.5 to 2 km of asymmetric footwall uplift was induced across the Eastern hinge zone in response to the mechanical unloading of the lithosphere during this first phase of rifting. In contrast, the Atlantic hinge, located approximately 90 km west of the Eastern hinge, marks the eastern limit of a second phase of extension that began in the Hauterivian. Footwall uplift and rotation exposed earlier syn-rift and pre-rift sediments to at least wavebase causing varying amounts of erosional truncation across the Atlantic hinge zone along much of the Gabon-Cabinda margins. We interpret the thickness variations of reworked clastic sediment of this age (e.g. the Melania Formation) between the hinge zones as indicative of variations in the degree of uplift and erosional truncation of the Atlantic hinge. For example, the absence of Melania Formation across the Congo margin implies that uplift of the Atlantic hinge was relatively minor compared to that across the Cabinda and Gabon margins, the latter being characterized by significant thicknesses of Melania Formation (or equivalent). Material eroded from the Cabinda and Gabon Atlantic hinge zone may in part account for the thick wedge of sediment deposited seaward of the Gabon-Cabinda Atlantic hinge (the Erva Formation). Our modelling suggests that this wedge of reworked elastics represents deposition by along-axis gravity flows within a deep water (≈2 km) environment. A third and final phase of extension in the late Barremian-early Aptian was responsible for breaching the continental lithosphere to form the ocean/continent boundary and thus the installation of open marine conditions. Elsewhere, the environments will tend to be marginal marine to brackish, depending on the efficiency of the Atlantic hinge zone to act as a barrier to marine enchroachment. This third rift phase reactivated both the Eastern and Atlantic hinge0zones thereby creating accomodation for the Marnes Noires Formation (and equivalent) source rock deposition between the hinges and the Falcão source rock equivalent seaward of the Atlantic hinge. Two possible scenarios exist for the lateral distribution of the Marnes Noires Formation. If the reactivated rift flank topography across the Atlantic hinge was significant, then sedimentation would be restricted between the hinge zones within discrete lacustrine settings (e.g., Congo margin). Alternatively, if hinge zone uplift was relatively minor, then a coral-rimmed archipelago may have developed parallel to the margin with restricted communication across the Atlantic hinge zone (e.g., Cabinda margin). In this latter scenario, dilution of the Marnes Noires source rocks by terrigenous input from the eroding Atlantic hinge zone should be relatively minor thereby enhancing source rock quality. Furthermore, potential marine upwelling outboard of the Atlantic hinge zone is likely the cause for the production and accumulation of organic-rich material associated with the Falcão source rock of the Kwanza basin. By late Aptian time, the remaining accomodation between the hinge zones was partially filled by across- and along-axis prograding deltaic systems of the Argilles Vertes and Tchibota Formations. The progradation and interaction of the Argilles Vertes depositional lobes resulted in the formation of residual paleo-relief. Subsequent marine incursions and flooding of this paleo-relief led to the development of basal conglomerates (the Chela ‘lag’ unconformity) grading upward into fine-grained sands and evaporites. Consequently, an inverse relationship should exist betweeb evaporite thickness (in particular, the lower members) and the thickness of the underlying Argilles Vertes and Tchibota Formations. Variations in Loeme evaporite thickness is a consequence of stratigraphic and structural control with salt instability influencing local variability.Our modelling suggests the occurrence of two distinct evaporite sequences on the Congo margin, an earlier evaporite deposited seaward (west) of the Atlantic hinge during the second and third rift phases and the late Aptian Loeme Formation deposited between the hinge zones. An evaporite sequence seaward of the Atlantic hinge is inferred on the basis of extensive diapirs and salt tectonic structures observed in seismic data. In order to match the distribution and thickness of the observed post-salt stratigraphy across the basin, however, we require large paleowater depths west of the Atlantic hinge during the later Aptian. The existence of large paleowater depths precludes the formation of thick evaporite sequences within the outer basin. Consequently, we propose that the evaporites seaward of the Atlantic hinge were formed during the syn-rift development of the margin and are not contemporaneous with the post-rift Loeme salts deposited between the hinge zones. This double salt hypothesis is consistent with observations from the conjugate Brazilian margin.  相似文献

华南中生代玄武岩地球化学特征及其地球动力学意义北大核心CSCD     

李赛 《地质与勘探》2022,58(5):1001-1015

华南板块是中国东部岩石圈的重要组成部分,广泛发育中生代玄武岩,这些玄武岩为研究华南岩石圈演化提供了重要的窗口。前人对华南中生代玄武岩开展了大量的研究,但是对于玄武岩的源区性质以及构造环境等认识仍存在较大争议。本文系统性分析了华南宁远、道县、长城岭、白面山、汝城等地区中生代玄武岩的主微量元素及Sr-Nd-Pb同位素组成,获得如下主要认识:(1)华南中生代玄武岩主要由碱性和亚碱性玄武岩组成,其SiO_(2)和全碱(Na_(2)O+K_(2)O)含量分别为42.81 wt%~55.54 wt%和1.6 wt%~5.97 wt%;(2)除了宁远玄武岩具有OIB微量元素特征,华南中生代玄武岩具有岛弧玄武岩相似的微量元素配分型式;(3)主量和微量元素特征表明华南中生代玄武岩的形成主要受控于部分熔融,且在岩浆演化过程中经历不同程度的分离结晶作用,未遭受明显的地壳混染作用。Ni-MgO正相关、CaO/Al_(2)O_(3)-CaO正相关和Eu无明显异常表明华南中生代玄武质岩浆经历了橄榄石和单斜辉石结晶,但无明显的斜长石结晶;(4)Sr-Nd-Pb同位素特征表明华南中生代玄武岩为EMⅡ地幔源区,其源区可能有洋壳沉积物的参与;(5)华南中生代玄武岩可能形成于与古太平洋板块俯冲相关的大陆板内环境;(6)华南岩石圈改造可能与中生代古太平洋俯冲板块的交代作用有关,后者所释放的酸性熔体/流体与地幔橄榄岩相互作用,最终造成了华南岩石圈物理化学性质的强烈改变;(7)古太平洋俯冲板块可能对华南有色金属、稀有金属等多金属成矿发挥着重要作用,其释放的熔体或流体为矿石活化和迁移提供了重要的驱动力。  相似文献   

Discovery of Early Tonian Calc-alkaline and Shoshonitic Metamafic Rocks from the North Purulia Shear Zone, Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex, Eastern India: Implications of Proterozoic Sub-continental Lithospheric Mantle     

Bapi GOSWAMI  Susmita DAS  Ankita BASAK  Chitta BHATTACHARYYA 《《地质学报》英文版》2023,97(1):68-89

Reports of shoshonitic rocks in Precambrian terrains are relatively rare. Pl-Grt amphibolites and Hbl-Bt mafic granulites occurring in the migmatitic gneisses of the Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex(CGC) show calc-alkaline and shoshonitic characteristics. Relict porphyritic, sub-ophitic and poikilitic textures are noted in these rocks. Their parent magma was emplaced during the waning phase of the regional metamorphism. Geochemically, these metamafics are similar to the Group Ⅲ potassic and ultrapo...  相似文献   

华夏地块中部宽频地震剖面深部速度结构研究   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

席家骥  江国明  张贵宾 《地质学报》2021,95(3):779-790

华夏地块处于欧亚板块、太平洋板块和菲律宾海板块相互作用的前沿。我国著名的南岭成矿带和武夷成矿带均位于华夏地块内。已有的研究认为,南岭和武夷的成矿作用可能与中生代晚期岩浆岩的底侵有关。为研究深部速度结构,本研究在2017年7月至2020年8月期间布设了一条横跨南岭成矿带与武夷成矿带的宽频地震测线。该测线共有81个流动台站组成,台站间距5-8 km,总长度约430 km。从连续波形中截取451个震级大于5.5级的远震事件波形,利用改进的互相关法直接从波形中计算得到7231条相对走时残差数据(误差小于0.1 s)。本研究采用远震走时层析成像方法反演相对走时残差数据,获得了高分辨率的速度结构。初步的成像结果表明:(1)华夏地块中部上地幔内存在一个明显的自西向东逐渐变深的低速异常体;(2)华夏地块岩石圈内速度结构具有很强的横向差异,且与断裂带分布存在一定的空间对应关系;(3)政和-大浦断裂带东侧下方200-300km处存在较明显的高速异常体。结合其它已有成果,本研究认为上地幔内的低速异常可能是上涌的软流圈热物质,抵达岩石圈底部引发岩石圈拆沉,可能继续沿深大断裂侵入地壳,形成金属矿藏;而拆沉的岩石圈冷物质下沉,所留痕迹即为软流圈内的高速异常体。  相似文献

The Origin of HIMU in the SW Pacific: Evidence from Intraplate Volcanism in Southern New Zealand and Subantarctic Islands   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

PANTER  K. S.; BLUSZTAJN  J.; HART  S. R.; KYLE  P. R.; ESSER  R.; MCINTOSH  W. C. 《Journal of Petrology》2006,47(9):1673-1704

This paper presents field, geochemical and isotopic (Sr, Nd,Pb) results on basalts from the Antipodes, Campbell and ChathamIslands, New Zealand. New ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age determinations alongwith previous K–Ar dates reveal three major episodes ofvolcanic activity on Chatham Island (85–82, 41–35,5 Ma). Chatham and Antipodes samples comprise basanite, alkaliand transitional basalts that have HIMU-like isotopic (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb>20·3–20·8, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr <0·7033,¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd >0·5128) and trace element affinities(Ce/Pb 28–36, Nb/U 34–66, Ba/Nb 4–7). Thegeochemistry of transitional to Q-normative samples from CampbellIsland is explained by interaction with continental crust. Thevolcanism is part of a long-lived (100 Myr), low-volume, diffusealkaline magmatic province that includes deposits on the Northand South Islands of New Zealand as well as portions of WestAntarctica and SE Australia. All of these continental areaswere juxtaposed on the eastern margin of Gondwanaland at >83Ma. A ubiquitous feature of mafic alkaline rocks from this regionis their depletion in K and Pb relative to other highly incompatibleelements when normalized to primitive mantle values. The inversionof trace element data indicates enriched mantle sources thatcontain variable proportions of hydrous minerals. We proposethat the mantle sources represent continental lithosphere thathost amphibole/phlogopite-rich veins formed by plume- and/orsubduction-related metasomatism between 500 and 100 Ma. Thestrong HIMU signature (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb >20·5) is consideredto be an in-grown feature generated by partial dehydration andloss of hydrophile elements (Pb, Rb, K) relative to more magmaphileelements (Th, U, Sr) during short-term storage at the base ofthe lithosphere.

Mineral Chemistry of Peridotites from Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic Lithosphere: Constraints on Mantle Evolution beneath Eastern China   总被引：24，自引：0，他引：24  

ZHENG  JIANPING; GRIFFIN  WILLIAM L.; O'REILLY  SUZANNE Y.; YANG  JINSUI; LI  TIANFU; ZHANG  MING; ZHANG  RUTH Y.; LIOU  JOHN G. 《Journal of Petrology》2006,47(11):2233-2256

Major- and trace-element data on the constituent minerals ofgarnet peridotite xenoliths hosted in early Paleozoic (457–500Ma) kimberlites and Neogene (16–18 Ma) volcanic rockswithin the North China Craton are compared with those from thepre-pilot hole of the Chinese Continental Scientific DrillingProject (CCSD-PP1) in the tectonically exhumed Triassic (220Ma) Sulu ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) terrane along its southernmargin. P–T estimates for the Paleozoic and Neogene peridotitexenoliths reflect different model geotherms corresponding tosurface heat flows of 40 mW/m² (Paleozoic) and 80 mW/m² (Neogene).Garnet peridotite xenoliths or xenocrysts from the Paleozoickimberlites are strongly depleted, similar to peridotites fromother areas of cratonic mantle, with magnesium olivine (meanFo_92.7), Cr-rich garnet and clinopyroxene with high La/Yb. Garnet(and spinel) peridotite xenoliths hosted in Neogene basaltsare derived from fertile mantle; they have high Al₂O₃ and TiO₂contents, low-Mg-number olivine (mean Fo_89.5), low-Cr garnetand diopside with flat rare earth element (REE) patterns. Thedifferences between the Paleozoic and Neogene xenoliths suggestthat a buoyant refractory lithospheric keel present beneaththe eastern North China Craton in Paleozoic times was at leastpartly replaced by younger, hotter and more fertile lithosphericmantle during Mesozoic–Cenozoic times. Garnet peridotitesfrom the Sulu UHP terrane have less magnesian olivine (Fo_91.5),and lower-Cr garnet than the Paleozoic xenoliths. The diopsideshave low heavy REE (HREE) contents and sinusoidal to light REE(LREE)-enriched REE patterns. These features, and their highMg/Si and low CaO and Al₂O₃ contents, indicate that the CCSD-PP1peridotites represent a moderately refractory mantle protolith.Details of mineral chemistry indicate that this protolith experiencedcomplex metasomatism by asthenosphere-derived melts or fluidsin Mesoproterozoic, and subsolidus re-equilibration involvingfluids/melts derived from the subducted Yangtze continentalcrust during UHP metamorphism in the early Mesozoic. Tectonicextension of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle of the NorthChina Craton and exhumation of the Sulu UHP rocks in the earlyMesozoic induced upwelling of the asthenosphere. Peridotitessampled by the Neogene basalts represent newly formed lithospherederived by cooling of the upwelling asthenospheric mantle inJurassic–Cretaceous and Paleogene time.
