Identifying higher pressure units overlying lower pressure ones is a first order argument to determine the presence of large‐scale thrusting. For the first time, petrology is used to quantify the pressure difference between two stacked units in the Western Alps. In the Gran Paradiso Massif, the Money unit crops out as a tectonic window below the Gran Paradiso unit. The reconstruction of the Alpine evolution of these two units and the history of their tectonic contact has been achieved using a multidisciplinary approach that combines meso‐ and microstructural analysis and pseudosection calculations. In both units, four stages of deformation and metamorphism have been identified. Stage 1 reflects the phase of continental crust subduction and P–T conditions of ~18–20 kbar, 480–520 °C and of ~13–18 kbar, 500–530 °C have been estimated for the Gran Paradiso and the Money units respectively. This yields a maximum difference of ~20 km in the depth reached by these two units during the early Alpine history. Thrusting of the Gran Paradiso unit over the Money unit (stage 2) led to the development of the main foliation and occurred in the high‐P part of the albite stability field at P–T conditions of ~12.5–14.5 kbar and 530–560 °C, identical in both units. The thrust contact was folded during stage 3 together with the entire Money unit, and then both units were exhumed together (stage 4). During this polyphase evolution, detrital garnet has been partially dissolved, while the earliest Na‐bearing phases (glaucophane, paragonite) have been overprinted by the low‐P mineral associations. The uncertainties on derived pressures between the two units are unfortunately larger than hoped, and this is attributed to the muscovite solid‐solution model not incorporating a pyrophyllite component.  相似文献   

Metamorphic and tectonic evolution of a structurally continuous blueschist‐to‐Barrovian terrane,Sivrihisar Massif,Turkey

Metamorphic terranes comprised of blueschist facies and regional metamorphic (Barrovian) rocks in apparent structural continuity may represent subduction complexes that were partially overprinted during syn‐ to post‐subduction heating or may be comprised of unrelated tectonic slices. An excellent example of a composite blueschist‐to‐Barrovian terrane is the southern Sivrihisar Massif, Turkey. Late Cretaceous blueschist facies rocks are dominated by marble characterized by rod‐shaped calcite pseudomorphs after aragonite and interlayered with blueschist that contains eclogite and quartzite pods. Barrovian rocks, which have ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar white mica ages that are >20 Myr younger than those of the blueschists, are also dominated by marble, but rod‐shaped calcite has been progressively recrystallized into massive marble within a ～200‐m transition zone. Barrovian marble is interlayered with quartzite and schist in which isograds are closely spaced and metamorphic conditions range from chlorite to sillimanite zone over ～1 km present‐day structural thickness. Andalusite, kyanite and prismatic sillimanite are present in muscovite‐rich quartzite; in one location, all three are in the same rock. Andalusite pre‐dates Barrovian metamorphism, kyanite is both pre‐ and syn‐Barrovian and sillimanite is entirely Barrovian. Muscovite with phengitic cores and relict kyanite in quartzite below the staurolite‐in isograd are evidence for pre‐Barrovian subduction metamorphism preserved at the low‐T end of the Barrovian domain; above the staurolite isograd, all evidence for subduction metamorphism has been erased. Some regional metamorphism may have occurred during exhumation, as indicated by syn‐kinematic high‐T minerals defining the fabric of L‐tectonite. Quartz microstructures in lineated quartzite reveal a strong constrictional fabric that may have formed in a transtensional bend in the plate boundary. Transtension accounts for the closely spaced isograds and development of a strong constrictional fabric during exhumation.  相似文献

西藏羌塘中部才多茶卡蓝闪石40Ar/39Ar年代学及地质意义     

朱同兴  董瀚  冯心涛  李鸿睿  余远山  张启跃 《地质学报》2010,84(10):1448-1456

本文报道了藏北羌塘中部才多茶卡地区晚三叠世蓝闪石片岩及蓝闪石矿物的新发现及地质意义。通过对才多茶卡构造混杂岩地质剖面的实测,在剖面第6层灰绿色变基性火山岩(绿片岩)中新发现以产蓝闪石类矿物为特征的中—高压变质岩系——蓝闪石片岩。对蓝闪石片岩的岩石学和矿物学特征进行了详细室内研究。从蓝闪石片岩中挑选出蓝闪石单矿物进行了40Ar/39Ar同位素年龄测定,结果表明,蓝闪石单矿物的坪年龄值为209±4Ma,等时线年龄值为216±4Ma,坪年龄与等时线年龄基本一致,属于晚三叠世诺利期,这与区域上羌塘中部发育的红脊山—双湖蓝闪石片岩的中—高压变质事件相吻合。由于蓝闪石类矿物的产出具有特殊的构造机制和地质意义,因此双湖以东的才多茶卡地区蓝闪石片岩的新发现及蓝闪石矿物的40Ar/39Ar同位素年代学研究进一步补充和丰富了青藏高原腹地羌塘中部龙木错-双湖构造混杂岩带的物质组成和同位素年代学信息,同时也为解决羌塘地区"龙木错-双湖构造混杂岩带是否向东延伸"等重大基础性地质问题,提供了新的重要资料。研究资料表明,羌塘中部自西向东从冈玛错、红脊山、绒马,经嘎尔错到才多茶卡地区,沿构造线方向断续分布的长达600km的含蓝闪石片岩的中—高压变质岩系,都是龙木错-双湖构造混杂岩带印支期构造活动事件的产物。  相似文献   

Petrology and phase equilibrium of newly found eclogites from Kekesu Valley in eastern part of southwest Tianshan HP-UHP metamorphic belt, China, and its tectonic significance   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Eclogites and omphacite-bearing blueschists have been newly found in the eastern segment of the southwest Tianshan orogenic belt,Xinjiang,northwest China.After detailed petrological study,three samples including one fresh eclogite TK003,one blueschist sample TK026-8 and one retrograded eclogite TK027,were selected for phase equilibrium modeling under NC(K)MnFMASHO(N2O-CaO-K2O-MnO-FeO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O-O)system,by thermocalc 3.33 software.Composition analyses of garnets in these three samples show typical growth zoning with Xpy and Xgrs increasing,Xspss decreasing from core to rim.Pseudosection modeling of the garnet zonation reflects that the eclogites and blueschist experienced a similar P-T evolution trajectory,with a near iso-baric heating in the early stage,and reached eclogite facies metamorphic field with peak P-T regime of 480–515°C,2.00–2.30 GPa.Subsequently the rocks experienced an early iso-thermal decompression retrograde stage with P-T conditions of 515–519°C,1.78–1.93 GPa.Variations of mineralogy and modes of these rocks are probably due to different retrograde paths as a consequence of different bulk-rock composition,as well as a variation in fluid activity during exhumation.P-T calculation and a peak geothermal gradient of 6–7°C/km indicate HP rocks in the Kekesu Valley experienced cold subducted eclogite facies metamorphism.Thus a huge oceanic subduction eclogite facies metamorphic belt in southwest Tianshan has been recognized,extending from the Kekesu Valley in the east to the Muzhaerte Valley in the west for nearly200 km.However,UHP evidence has not been found in the Kekesu terrane,perhaps because the slab in east part of southwest Tianshan did not subduct into such a great depth.  相似文献   

中国蓝片岩带的分布及其构造意义     

代艳娟  曾普胜  麻菁  苟瑞涛  王聚杰 《地质力学学报》2015,21(3):426-437

在前人研究的基础上, 根据变质时代及产地将中国蓝片岩带划分为20个带, 选取不同时代典型蓝片岩带论述其特征(分布区域、大体规模、原岩特征、形成时代及矿物组合), 并对其地质成因进行分析。中国蓝片岩带生成方式复杂, 但均与俯冲消减作用有关, 且大多属B型俯冲消减; 部分地段叠加了A型俯冲的高压—超高压变质带(如阿尔金带、大别-苏北带、南迦巴瓦-密支那带等)。中国蓝片岩带在时代上可以分为元古代(晋宁期)、古生代(加里东—海西期)、中生代(印支—燕山期)和新生代(喜马拉雅期)4个时期, 每个时期蓝片岩带的形成大多与中国地体增生过程中洋盆的消减俯冲有关, 并在特定地段经历后期的陆内俯冲(高压—超高压俯冲)叠加影响。   相似文献   

Early Cretaceous exhumation of high‐pressure metamorphic rocks of the Sistan Suture Zone,eastern Iran     

G. R. Fotoohi Rad  G. T. R. Droop  R. Burgess 《Geological Journal》2009,44(1):104-116

The Sistan Suture Zone (SSZ) of eastern Iran is part of the Neo‐Tethyan orogenic system and formed by convergence of the Central Iranian and Afghan microcontinents. Ar Ar ages of ca. 125 Ma have been obtained from white micas and amphibole from variably overprinted high‐pressure metabasites within the Ratuk Complex of the SSZ. The metabasites, which occur as fault‐bounded lenses within a subduction mélange, document peak‐metamorphic conditions in eclogite or blueschist facies followed by near‐isothermal decompression resulting in an epidote–amphibolite‐facies overprint. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar step heating experiments were performed on a phengite + paragonite mixture from an eclogite, phengites from two amphibolites, and paragonite from a blueschist; ‘best‐fit’ ages from these micas are, respectively, 122.8 ± 2.2, 124 ± 13, 116 ± 19 and 139 ± 19 Ma (2σ error). Barroisite from an amphibolite yielded an age of 124 ± 10 Ma. The ages are interpreted as cooling ages that record the post‐epidote–amphibolite stage in the exhumation of the rocks. Our results imply that both the high‐pressure metamorphism and the epidote–amphibolite‐facies overprint occurred prior to 125 Ma. Subduction of oceanic lithosphere along the eastern margin of the Sistan Ocean had therefore begun by Barremian (Early Cretaceous) times. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

旁那石榴蓝闪片岩特征及其构造意义   总被引：9，自引：0，他引：9  

刘鸿飞  刘焰 《岩石矿物学杂志》2009,28(3):199-214

在拉萨市墨竹工卡县旁那村附近的二叠系(变质)玄武岩之下发现了石榴蓝闪片岩,与二叠系海相灰岩、石英岩、白云母片岩共生.该片岩包括石榴石和角闪石变斑晶及由(多硅)白云母、斜黝帘石、石英、金红石、锆石、钠长石、绿泥石、榍石、钛铁矿组成的基质.角闪石变斑晶中可见两期蓝闪石,早期蓝闪石富铁、贫钠,晚期蓝闪石包裹早期蓝闪石,其成分接近纯的蓝闪石端员,并常具有冻蓝闪石或阳起石的冠状体.从核部至边部,钾质白云母单位分子中的硅含量快速降低;含有霓辉石、金红石和石英等包体的石榴石的锰含量急剧降低,镁含量则升高.运用视剖面(pseudosection)方法模拟该片岩p-t演化轨迹,视剖面温压计算范围为250～650℃和0.4～2.8 GPa.模拟结果表明该片岩的变质温压始于450℃和2.5 GPa,先经历近等压升温过程至500℃,再经历近等温降压过程至0.6 GPa,表明该片岩系冷洋壳快速俯冲与折返的产物.拉萨地块中部早三叠世查曲浦组安山岩和晚三叠世过铝质花岗岩的产出以及在与该变质杂岩共生的碳酸盐岩中二叠纪化石的发现共同限定了冷洋壳的俯冲应发生在二叠、三叠纪之交.区域地质分析表明,在中生代早期冈瓦纳大陆裂解之前,其东北边缘的冷洋壳向冈瓦纳大陆之下俯冲,随后冈瓦纳大陆向外增生,然后再裂解,形成现今的拉萨地块.  相似文献   

内蒙古头道桥地区蓝闪石片岩和相关变质岩石岩石学特征及其构造意义     

赵立敏  刘永江  滕加雨  李伟民 《吉林大学学报(地球科学版)》2018,48(2):534-544

内蒙古头道桥地区出露了一套经高压变质形成的岩石组合。本次研究通过岩相学和矿物化学分析,根据矿物组合的不同,识别出蓝片岩、绿片岩两种不同类型的岩石类型。其中,蓝片岩的矿物组合为角闪石（蓝闪石、蓝透闪石）+绿帘石+钠长石+绿泥石+石英+赤铁矿±多硅白云母±方解石±榍石;绿片岩的矿物组合为绿泥石+钠长石+石英±绿帘石±角闪石（阳起石、镁角闪石、蓝透闪石、冻蓝闪石等）±多硅白云母±赤铁矿。确定了蓝片岩的峰期变质级别为绿帘-蓝闪片岩相,峰期变质温度为400~600℃,压力为1.2~1.4 GPa。绿片岩的峰期变质级别为绿帘-角闪岩相。结合前人研究成果,认为蓝片岩和绿片岩的形成与额尔古纳地块和兴安地块的碰撞拼合有关。  相似文献   

结合实测光谱的ASTER TIR数据岩性划分与构造样式分析:以新疆阿克苏蓝片岩为例     

张志  管志超  王少军 《吉林大学学报(地球科学版)》2018,48(1):334-342

常见造岩矿物的特征谱带位于热红外区域,因此热红外遥感在岩石地层划分与构造样式分析方面有巨大的应用潜力,并且精细岩石地层划分是构造样式分析的基础。新疆阿克苏蓝片岩被认为是目前世界范围内保存最好的前寒武纪蓝片岩之一。本文对该地质体中采集的不同类型岩石样品进行了室内热红外发射光谱测试,发现白云母石英片岩类残余辐射特征（restrahlen features,RF）位于波长8.55、9.16和9.60 μm处,绿泥绿帘片岩类RF位于波长9.60、10.50和11.66 μm处。按照ASTER TIR波段位置将样品的发射率光谱曲线重采样,利用ASTER TIR数据计算基性指数I_b和白云母指数I_m。依据I_b和I_m得到不同岩性段分布图,该图能反映蓝片岩地质体中不同基性程度岩石、后期侵入的基性岩墙群以及白云母石英片岩单元的空间分布。从岩性区域分布特征看,我们认为新疆阿克苏蓝片岩地质体平面构造样式表现为褶皱,其轴迹线为NE—SW向,这一结果与前人对其划分的单斜地层结构有较大的差异。另外,褶皱出现在地质体南部,说明其北部所受压力较南部小,与前人认识一致。研究结果体现了热红外遥感结合实测光谱可有效探测矿物岩石信息的优势,该方法可为相关研究提供参考。  相似文献
