U-Pb, Hf and O isotope evidence for two episodes of fluid-assisted zircon growth in marble-hosted eclogites from the Dabie orogen   总被引：9，自引：0，他引：9

A combined study of internal structure, U-Pb age, and Hf and O isotopes was carried out for metamorphic zircons from ultrahigh-pressure eclogite boudins enclosed in marbles from the Dabie orogen in China. CL imaging identifies two types of zircon that are metamorphically new growth and recrystallized domain, respectively. The metamorphic zircons have low Th and U contents with low Th/U ratios, yielding two groups of ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age at 245 ± 3 to 240 ± 2 Ma and 226 ± 4 to 223 ± 2 Ma, respectively. Anomalously high δ¹⁸O values were obtained for refractory minerals, with 9.9 to 21.4‰ for garnet and 16.9‰ for zircon. This indicates that eclogite protolith is sedimentary rocks capable of liberating aqueous fluid for zircon growth during continental subduction-zone metamorphism. Most of the zircons are characterized by very low ¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf ratios of 0.000001-0.000028, indicating their growth in association with garnet recrystallization. A few of them falling within the older age group have comparatively high ¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf ratios of 0.000192-0.000383, suggesting their growth prior to the formation of garnet in the late stage of subduction. The variations in the Lu/Hf ratios for zircons can thus be used to correlate with garnet growth during eclogite-facies metamorphism. In either case, the zircons have variable ε_Hf (t) values for individual samples, suggesting that their protolith is heterogeneous in Hf isotope composition with localized fluid availability in the bulk processes of orogenic cycle. Nevertheless, a positive correlation exists between ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages and Lu-Hf isotope ratios for the metamorphically recrystallized zircons, suggesting that eclogite-facies metamorphism in the presence of fluid has the identical effect on zircon Lu-Hf and U-Th-Pb isotopic systems. We conclude that the zircons of the older group grew in the presence of fluid during the subduction prior to the onset of peak ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism, whereas the younger zircons grew in the presence of fluid released during the initial exhumation toward high-pressure eclogite-facies regime.  相似文献   

Carbon isotope stratigraphy using carbonate cements in the Triassic Sherwood Sandstone Group: Corrib Field,west of Ireland     

《Chemical Geology》2006,225(1-2):137-155

Carbon stable isotopes from carbonate minerals (mainly dolomite) from six wells from the Lower Triassic Sherwood Sandstones of the Corrib Gas Field, Slyne Basin, west of Ireland, allow stratigraphic correlation. The results also provide information on palaeoenvironmental change during the deposition of these continental redbed sedimentary rocks. The Triassic reservoir rocks have been buried to > 4000 m and heated to > 165 °C and now contain methane-rich gas. Although the oxygen isotopic signal has been at least partially reset during burial and heating, a primary carbon isotopic signal appears to have survived diagenesis. The carbon isotope ratio varies from − 3.2‰ to + 2.1‰. All six wells show similar stratigraphic changes when all the carbon isotope data are plotted relative to a major playa horizon. δ¹³C increases from about − 3‰ at the base of the Sherwood to about + 2‰ 170 m above the base. δ¹³C then decreases to about − 2‰ for the next 70 m and remains steady for the following 50 m. The top 20 m of the Sherwood contains carbonate with a δ¹³C values decreasing to about − 3‰. The occurrence of a stratigraphically-correlatable carbon isotope pattern implies that the primary evolution signal has been preserved. The change in δ¹³C correlates with indicators of aridity and biological stress such that the highest δ¹³C values are in sedimentary rocks deposited in a playa lake (arid times); these rocks contain the greatest quantity of dolomite cement. Conversely, the lowest δ¹³C values correspond to sedimentary rocks deposited from well-developed rivers (relatively humid times) from the lowest quantity of dolomite cement. The same carbon isotope evolution has been found in another well in the Slyne basin and in Belgium, suggesting that the palaeoenvironmental isotope signal in the Triassic sedimentary rocks of the Corrib Field may have a regional significance.  相似文献   

Stable oxygen and carbon isotopes of carbonate concretions of the Miocene Yeonil Group in the Pohang Basin,Korea: Types of concretions and formation condition     

《Sedimentary Geology》2006,183(1-2):15-30

Carbonate concretions in the Miocene sedimentary rocks of the Yeonil Group in the Pohang Basin (Korea) were investigated in terms of stable oxygen and carbon isotope composition to delineate the origin and associated diagenetic environment for their formation. Carbonate concretions are widely distributed in all the sedimentary rocks in the Pohang Basin, showing that the calcitic concretions are preserved within the mass-flow deposits and the dolomitic ones mostly in the hemipelagic siliceous rocks (diatomites). Concretions can be classified into four different types, on the basis of the stable isotopic signatures, each of which represents its own geochemical range.Type I concretions are calcitic and are composed of micrite to microspar. They occur in the conglomerates and sandstones which were deposited by mass flows (debris flow to turbidity current). It shows relatively lower δ¹⁸O (− 14.0 to − 9.3‰) and δ¹³C (− 19.6 to − 8.4‰) values. These concretions grew in a sulfate reducing zone under the influence of residual ambient seawater which had been significantly modified by volcanogenic sediments. Type II concretions are also calcitic, composed mostly of micrite with minor microspar and found in the sandstones. These concretions are characterized by relatively high δ¹⁸O (+ 1.8 to + 2.4‰) and variable δ¹³C (− 17.3 to − 0.4‰) values. These isotopic signatures reflect that Type II concretions formed from just beneath the sediment/water interface down to the sulfate reducing zone through the early stage of methanogenesis. Type III concretions are also calcitic, and composed largely of micrite with a minor contribution of microspar. They are observed in hemipelagic mudrocks which were deposited under the influence of mass flows. They are characterized by intermediate to high δ¹⁸O (− 4.6 to + 1.6‰) and high δ¹³C (− 1.3 to + 8.8‰) values. These concretions grew in a methanogenic zone by residual ambient seawater and/or seawater slightly modified by reaction with volcanogenic sediments. Type IV concretions are dolomite with calcite inclusion, and occur in hemipelagic siliceous rocks. These concretions are mostly composed of micrite and characterized by variable δ¹⁸O (− 9.1 to + 0.7‰) and high δ¹³C (+ 3.1 to + 17.9‰) values, suggesting formation in the methanogenic zone, although the residual ambient seawater is slightly modified by volcanogenic sediments.The same type of the concretions is widely distributed throughout the basin and always shows its own distinctive stable isotopic signature. This means that the formation of the given type depends upon the lithology and composition of host sediments that are closely related to the depositional process of the fan-delta systems regardless of their localities. Further, the different types of concretions are also found at the different, but closely spaced stratigraphic levels in the same locality, displaying the distinctive diagenetic conditions for each type. Such preservation of the unique diagenetic signatures in individual type of concretion suggests that the concretions formed in a completely closed diagenetic system. Therefore, caution should be made to simplify and generalize the diagenetic condition for the formation of any concretions in a large sedimentary basin.  相似文献   

Zircon SHRIMP U–Pb dating,C and O isotopes for impure marbles from the Jiaobei terrane in the Sulu orogen: Implication for tectonic affinity     

《Precambrian Research》2006,144(1-2):1-18

Middle Neoproterozoic carbonates are found in the western part of Shandong Pennisula (i.e., the Jiaobei terrane) that is located in the northwestern part of the Sulu orogen in east-central China. For the first time, a successful SHRIMP U–Pb dating, coupled with CL imaging, was conducted on two samples of impure marble from the Fenzishan Group in this tectonic unit. The results yield consistent ages of 786 ± 67 and 240 ± 44 Ma for igneous and metamorphic zircons, respectively. Positive δ¹³C values as high as +5.6‰ are measured for both pure and impure marbles, consistent not only with the worldwide Neoproterozoic limestones in connection with the Sturtian ice-age, but also with the marbles associated with UHP metamorphic eclogites in the Dabie orogen. O isotope fractionation between calcite and garnet from one sample gave a temperature of 680 °C, pointing to upper amphibolite-facies metamorphic conditions. These results indicate that protolith of the marbles is a kind of limestone that was synchronously deposited with volcaniclastic rocks in the mid-Neoproterozoic rift basin of continental margin. Like the UHP metamorphic rocks in the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt, both mid-Neoproterozoic magmatism and Triassic metamorphism are recorded in the impure marbles. Therefore, protolith of the impure marbles corresponds to the sedimentary limestone of rift basin developed during the mid-Neoproterozoic breakup of supercontinent Rodinia, but it was the sedimentary cover along the northern margin of the South China Block prior to its Triassic subduction. The occurrence of the mid-Neoproterozoic limestone with the Triassic metamorphism in the southern margin of the North China Block thus indicates tectonic overthrust by a crustal detachment between the sedimentary cover and the Precambrian basement during the continent subduction. As a result, the marbles in affinity to the South China Block were northward thrusted over the basement of the North China Block.  相似文献   

Late Neoproterozoic,Ordovician and Carboniferous events recorded in monazites from southern-central Madagascar     

《Precambrian Research》2006,144(3-4):278-296

The evolution of the basement of southern Madagascar north and south of the Ranotsara shear zone was investigated using (U + Th)/Pb electron probe monazite age dating in combination with petrographic constraints. Several monazite grains show a stepwise progression of younger ages towards the rim indicating partial and complete resetting during tectonic, metamorphic and/or fluid events. The oldest ages, ranging from 630–2400 Ma, occur relatively rare in relic cores. A first, clear age-population is dated at 550–560 Ma. Most ages fall in two populations at 420–460 and 490–500 Ma, which in some samples overlap in error. We interprete these ages as dating low-pressure and high-temperature metamorphism. We have also clear evidence for Carboniferous (300–310 Ma) monazite overgrowth rims, which can not directly be related to macroscopic structures or metamorphic parageneses. In combination with literature data, we propose that the observed monazite age populations are related to Gondwana amalgamation and subsequent rifting events during the break up of Gondwana. Our study confirms that only the electron or ion microprobe yields sufficient spatial resolution to date individual shells of multiple zoned monazites in the polymetamorphic basement of Madagascar.  相似文献   

Geochemical patterns of arsenic-enriched ground water in fractured,crystalline bedrock,Northport, Maine,USA     

《Applied Geochemistry》2006,21(3):528-545

High mean As concentrations of up to 26.6 μmol/L (1990 μg/L) occur in ground water collected from a fractured-bedrock system composed of sulfidic schist with granitic to dioritic intrusions. Sulfides in the bedrock are the primary source of the As in the ground water, but the presence of arsenopyrite in rock core retrieved from a borehole with As concentrations in the ground water barely above the detection limit of 2.0 μmol/L, shows that there are complicating factors. Chemical analyses of water from 35 bedrock wells throughout a small watershed reveal spatial clustering of wells with high As concentrations. Stiff diagrams and box plots distinguish three distinct types; calcium-bicarbonate-dominated water with low As concentrations (CaHCO₃ type), sodium-bicarbonate-dominated water with moderately high As concentrations (NaHCO₃ type), and calcium-bicarbonate-dominated water with very high As concentrations (High-As type). It is proposed that differences in recharge area and ground-water evolution, and possible bedrock composition difference are responsible for the chemical distinctions within the watershed. Lack of correlation of As concentrations with pH indicates that desorption of As is an insignificant control on As concentration. Correlations of As concentrations with Fe and redox parameters indicates that reductive dissolution of Fe(III) oxyhydroxides may play a role in the occurrence of high As concentrations in the NaHCO₃ and High-As type water. The oxidation of sulfide minerals occurs within the ground-water system and is ultimately responsible for the existence of As in the ground water, but there is no correlation between As and SO₄ concentrations, probably due to precipitation of Fe(III) oxyhydroxides and adsorption of As under oxidizing conditions.  相似文献   

Application of Sr isotopes to geochemical mapping and provenance analysis: The case of Aichi Prefecture,central Japan     

《Applied Geochemistry》2006,21(3):419-436

Geochemical maps expressing areal distributions of chemical elements in the earth’s land surface have been published in several countries in relation to various global environment issues. The authors have applied a radiogenic isotope ratio, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, to geochemical mapping in order to understand the geological origin, transportation and dispersion system of chemical elements in the earth’s land surface. The Sr isotope ratio is a useful tracer for distinguishing the geological origin of surficial deposits, especially in areas where surface exposure of bedrocks is low, because it is not significantly altered by the processes of weathering and transportation. Most bedrocks in the Japanese islands are covered by plants, soils and urban areas. In this study, 142 of 1219 stream sediments (<180 μm) collected from the northeastern part of Aichi Prefecture, in the central part of Japan (75 km × 30 km), were analyzed. Their Sr isotope ratios range from 0.7086 to 0.7315 with an average of 0.7129, except for one sample. This average is higher than the mean of the upper crust of the Japan Arc (the Japanese Island Crustal Composite, JICC), 0.7077. This difference can be attributed to the below-average presence of young volcanic rocks, generally having lower ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr values, and the above-average presence of granitic rocks, in the study area compared with the surface exposure of the Japan Arc. The first factor controlling the distribution of Sr isotope ratios is the bedrock distributed around the sampling points. Regional variation in the ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr value shows that it is higher in the western and southeastern parts, where sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks are distributed, and that it is lower mainly in the central part, where granitic rocks are distributed. The ⁸⁷Rb/⁸⁶Sr–⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr plot for stream sediments more clearly reveals the differences and similarities of bedrocks. In some locations, the distribution of Sr isotope ratios does not correspond to that of bedrocks on the geological map. One reason is the existence of unmapped bedrock, for example, small intrusive masses of granite. The other is fluvial transportation and dispersion. The distribution of the isotope ratios suggests that some stream sediments include surficial deposits from a few km upstream. Application of the Sr isotope ratio to geochemical mapping is useful for revealing both the distribution of unexposed bedrocks and the transportation of surficial deposits. Information on unexposed bedrocks will be expected to contribute to the improvement of geological mapping.  相似文献   

A new low-interference characterization method for hydrocarbons occluded inside asphaltene structures     

《Applied Geochemistry》2006,21(5):833-838

Some hydrocarbons occluded inside asphaltene structures can be considered to be “original oil”, and are very important especially for severely post-altered crude oil in related geochemical studies such as oil/oil, oil/source correlation. The use of oxidising reagents could properly release these occluded hydrocarbons, and make possible direct study of these compounds without interference from the segments chemically bonded to the asphaltene molecule. Interference from adsorbed and/or co-precipitated compounds can be avoided by applying an asphaltene purification procedure.  相似文献   

Combined investigations of fluid inclusions in opaque ore minerals by NIR/SWIR microscopy and microthermometry and synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence     

《Applied Geochemistry》2006,21(5):813-819

An alternative IR microscopy system in the NIR (near infrared, up to 10 μm) and SWIR (short wavelength infrared, up to 1.4 μm) ranges has been developed for the study of opaque ore minerals. The system uses either IR LED or IR light bulb sources depending on the degree of opacity of the investigated minerals. This paper presents the methodology and the promising results obtained in studies of opaque ore minerals such as Ag minerals (pyrargyrite) from epithermal deposits and Nb-tantalates (columbite) from pegmatites. It also presents results on the internal features of hematites from Fe ore banded formations and tungstates from granite–greenstone belt deposits. The data obtained on fluid inclusions from pyrargyrite and hematite crystals have been integrated by complementary information from X-ray fluorescence analysis using synchrotron radiation (μ-SXRF) under conditions specifically designed for the study of opaque ore minerals.  相似文献
