Besides Pb and U loss and mixing of crystals of different age, U gain is considered a possible cause of discordant U-Pb ages of zircons. However, whether U gain without new zircon growth occurs in nature had not been proven, so far. In order to test this possibility, two detrital zircon populations were studied for which the absence of later zircon overgrowth after deposition could be demonstrated. The samples were separated from a metaquartzite near a large pegmatite body and from metaquartzite inclusions found in the pegmatite (Martell Valley, Italian Alps). The distribution of neutron-induced fission tracks reveals distinct accumulation of U in the rims of more than 90% of the zircon grains of the inclusions (total U in the crystals: 540–850 ppm), whereas in the country rock only some of the grains show similar but weaker patterns (total U: 155–320 ppm). From the isotopic data and from additional U-Pb and Rb-Sr analyses of minerals and whole-rock samples of the pegmatite, the marginal accumulation and the higher concentration of U in the zircon grains of the inclusions are interpreted as the result of episodic U gain during the intrusion of the pegmatite and/or during a later metamorphism. From the concentration levels of common Pb, an addition of Pb - and possibly other elements - to the zircon grains is inferred. 相似文献

Metasomatic and Sr-isotopic changes, associated with formation of zoned alteration halos along hydrothermal veins, are documented for a gneiss from the Artenberg quarry near Steinach (Kinzigtal, Schwarzwald, SW Germany). Veins are postorogenic, SW-NE-oriented, and cut straight through metaquartzdioritic Variscan gneiss, where flow of low-temperature fluids (～100–200°C) caused adularia-quartz-sericite-type alteration. Fluid-rock interaction occurred nearly 50 Ma after Variscan metamorphism, as constrained by a Rb–Sr multimineral isochron for unaltered gneiss of 327.1?±?3.1 Ma, and by two independent ages of 279.2?±?3.1 Ma and 274?±?13 Ma, based on Rb–Sr systematics of late-stage quartz from the veins. In a profile from unaltered gneiss towards a vein, alteration-induced mineralogical changes correlate with metasomatic net addition of K, Rb, and Cl to the alteration zone, combined with net loss of Na, Ca, and Sr. Strontium isotopes give a more detailed insight into the fluid-rock interaction process. 87Sr/86Sr ratios in a profile across the alteration zone are incompatible with simple Sr leaching but reflect partial replacement of the rocks’ Sr by fluid-derived Sr, the isotopic composition of which varied with time. Early fluids, with high 87Sr/86Sr ratios compared to unaltered gneiss, evolved into fluids with somewhat lower ratios, and finally reached a second maximum in 87Sr/86Sr ratios. This Sr-isotopic fluid evolution is equally revealed by the mineral sequence of the vein mineralization. It appears that the compositional evolution of the fluids correlates with the sequence of mineral breakdown reactions in the gneissic host rock, and that the Sr-isotopic evolution of the fluids can be fully explained as the result of internal, progressive reaction of fluid with the local rocks. Results also show that the spatial distributions of Sr isotopes in metasomatic alteration zones may reflect the complex evolution of fluid-rock interaction systems, and ultimately constrain the factors controlling both fluid compositions and alteration patterns. 相似文献

The Lepontine Gneiss Complex of southern Switzerland and northern Italy is characterized by high-grade metamorphism and intensive deformation of Alpine age with migmatites prevalent in the area with the highest metamorphic grade. Petrological and structural observations are generally inconclusive but indicate in some places an Alpine age for the migmatite formation. To determine the time of migmatite formation a geochronologic study was undertaken in one of the best exposed areas, the Valle Bodengo, Italy. Rb-Sr whole-rock errorchrons of intrusive migmatite phases and of two rather homogeneous granitoid gneiss bodies yield apparent ages between 280 and 350 m.y. They suggest a Hercynian or older igneous history for these rocks. The U-Pb ages of the euhedral zircons are highly discordant, but they do point to the presence of zircon components more than 450 m.y. old. The concordia-intercept ages are incompatible with the Rb-Sr data and the low initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios of about 0.706. These low initial ratios suggest that either the bulk of the granitoid material is not much older than Hercynian, or older crustal material was isotopically homogenized on a regional scale with rocks that had low Rb/Sr and 87Sr/86Sr ratios (e.g. the lower crust or upper mantle) during a Hercynian metamorphism. Rb-Sr small-scale whole-rock isochrons and tie lines of adjacent, lithologically different rock phases give Alpine ages, the best isochron yielding 22 m.y. This coincides with concordant U-Pb ages of monazites of 23 to 24 m.y. Rb-Sr mineral isoohrons (muscovite, biotite, feldspars, apatite) give ages of 18–21 m.y. Our interpretation is that this age pattern resulted due to rapid cooling after the climax of the last phase of the Alpine metamorphism and we conclude that high-grade metamorphic conditions existed during the upper Oligocene or early Miocene. Other investigators have suggested that the Alpine metamorphism had a climax 35–40 m.y. ago and that the younger mineral ages are a result of simple continuous cooling due to uplift. Based on this study and other recent geochronological studies in the Lepotine Gneiss Complex we suggest that there had to be a thermal maximum at about 20–25 m.y. The example of Valle Bodengo demonstrates that the areal coincidence of the zone of highest-grade metamorphism with the occurrence of migmatites does not necessarily mean that metamorphism and migmatite formation were coeval and related to each other. 相似文献

Rb-Sr isotopic analyses of whole-rocks and biotite and U-Th-Pb analyses of zircon and monazite reveal regional metamorphic events for the Ordovician (Caledonian metamorphism) and the Carboniferous (Variscan=Hercynian orogeny), both accompanied by anatexis. The extent of the Caledonian and Variscan anatexis, however, cannot be evaluated, so far, because the field petrographic criteria are not sufficient to distinguish clearly between early and late Paleozoic anatexites. Evidence for a Precambrian metamorphism has not been found. Rb-Sr whole-rock isochrons obtained on leucosomes and melanosomes of partially molten paragneisses are interpreted as a minimum age of the second, early Variscan anatexis. The alternative explanation of the isochrons as a result of local Sr isotopic redistribution without a melt involved is considered less likely. Concordant and nearly concordant zircon ages (318–335 m.y.) of a coarse-grained granite and of diatexites are regarded as evidence for an intensive early Variscan granitization and palingenesis. Concordant zircon ages of diorite dykes, crosscutting the anatexites, establish a lower time limit of 309–312 m.y. for the Variscan anatexis. Rb-Sr ages of biotite (310-290 m.y.) indicate the end of the Variscan metamorphism.
Estimates of the time of sedimentation or diagenesis based on Rb-Sr whole-rock analyses for some metasediment series in the north of the area yield maximum ages of 550 m.y., provided that Rb and Sr migration did not exceed substantially the extent of the outcrops (30–500 m) between the time of diagenesis and the Ordovician metamorphism. Otherwise, an upper limit of 2000–2300 m.y., which is the primary age of detrital zircon populations, can be established.
Zircon populations of paragneisses and their anatectic derivatives were separated into size and shape fractions. From morphologic studies and U-Pb isotopic analyses, they were found to be composites of young concordant (318–325 m.y.) and old, highly discordant zircon components, with more than fifty per cent of young crystals in some anatexites. The apparent ages of the composites are 320–750 m.y. The U concentrations of the newly formed crystals can be higher, equal, or lower than those of the inherited zircon component. Some peculiarities in the concordia plot of the zircon data of paragneisses and migmatites (curved pattern; inversion of the generally observed systematics with respect to U concentration, grain size, degree of discordance) are interpreted as the result of polyepisodic disturbances of the inherited crystals in connection with new zircon growth. In the concordia diagram, the data points of the individual zircon grains containing inherited components appear to plot in band or wedgelike areas, and not on lines as the patterns of size fractions of the same zircon populations could pretend. Consequently, ages obtained by extrapolation of the regression curves to the concordia are not necessarily meaningful and require verification by other methods. 相似文献

Granitic metapegmatites of two crystalline units of the western Bohemian massif, the Zone of Erbendorf-Vohenstrauss in Germany (ZEV), and the Zone of Teplá-Doma?lice in the Czech Republic (ZTD) have been dated by means of U–Pb and Rb–Sr methods. Ages interpreted to reflect emplacement and crystallisation of the pegmatites were found consistently to be approximately 480?Ma, as constrained by U–Pb analyses of primary magmatic zircon, monazite, garnet and columbite, and by Rb–Sr analyses of large pegmatitic muscovites. Later Devonian amphibolite-facies metamorphism caused ductile shearing of the pegmatites, leading to partial recrystallisation of pegmatitic material. A metamorphic, fine-grained generation of muscovite yielded consistent Rb–Sr ages of 371–376?Ma for both the ZEV and the ZTD, interpreted as dating the end of deformational activity. The Rb–Sr system of the large pegmatitic muscovites turned out to remain closed up to metamorphic temperatures of >600?°C. Deformation at elevated temperatures is identified as the dominant mechanism for opening of the Rb–Sr system of primary muscovites: apparent ages grade towards Devonian ages as the muscovites become more deformed and fragmented. The data derived from the metapegmatites point to a similar or common tectonometamorphic evolution for the ZEV and the ZTD since the Ordovician. Furthermore, the magmatic formation of granitic pegmatites implies an upper crustal position of the intruded rocks in Lower Ordovician times, clearly documenting the existence of two distinct metamorphic cycles. In contrast to this, in the neighbouring part of the Moldanubian, only unmetamorphosed granitic pegmatites with intrusion ages around 320?Ma are observed. 相似文献

Dating of crystalline rocks occurring in the Upper Harz Mountains was carried out by means of U-Pb isotope investigations on zircons and sphene as well as by Rb-Sr isotope measurements on whole-rock samples and biotites.U-Pb data of euhedral and rounded, detrital zircons of the allochthonous block of the Ecker gneiss point to an age (upper intercept) of the source area of the predominantly metasedimentary rocks of about 1.6 Ga or older. The lower intercept indicates a possible metamorphic event at ca. 560 Ma in the Ecker gneiss or in the source rock of the zircons of this complex. The concordant data point of a sphene fraction from a metavolcanic sample documents contact metamorphic influence on the Ecker gneiss by the Variscan intrusions of the Upper Harz Mountains.Emplacement of the intrusions of the Harzburg gabbronorite and the Brocken and Oker granites occurred contemporaneously 293–297 Ma ago within the analytical error limits. This points to a common geotectonic cause of the ascent of the magmas. Uplift of the Ecker gneiss block, now squeezed in between Harzburg gabbronorite and Brocken granite, was connected to these processes.The mineral ages of the plutonites are close to the intrusion ages indicating fast cooling processes in shallow crustal levels.
Zusammenfassung Eine altersmäßige Einstufung der im Oberharz vorkommenden kristallinen Gesteine wurde durch U-Pb-Isotopenuntersuchungen an Zirkonen und Titanit sowie Rb-Sr-Isotopenmessungen an Gesamtgesteinsproben und Biotiten durchgeführt.U-Pb-Daten von idiomorphen und runden, detritischen Zirkonen der allochthonen Eckergneis-Scholle deuten auf ein Alter des Ursprungsgebietes der weitgehend metasedimentären Gesteine von etwa 1. 6 Ga oder älter hin und sie weisen ferner auf ein mögliches Metamorphose-Ereignis vor rund 560 Ma im Eckergneis oder im Liefergestein der Zirkone des Eckergneises hin. Der konkordante Datenpunkt bei ca. 295 Ma einer Titanit-Fraktion aus einer Metavulkanit-Probe dokumentiert die kontaktmetamorphe Beeinflussung des Eckergneises durch die variskischen Intrusionen des Oberharzes.Die Platznahme der Intrusionen der Gesteine des Harzburger Gabbronorit-Massivs sowie des Brokken- und Oker-Granits erfolgten innerhalb der analytischen Fehlergrenzen zeitgleich vor 293–295 Ma. Dies deutet auf eine gemeinsame geotektonische Ursache des Aufdringens der Magmen. Damit verbunden war der Aufstieg der Eckergneis-Scholle, die jetzt zwischen Harzburger Gabbronorit und Brockengranit »eingeklemmt« ist.Mineralalter der Plutonite liegen nahe bei den Intrusionsaltern und weisen auf rasche Abkühlungsvorgänge in seichtem Krustenniveau hin.
Résumé Des mesures d'âge ont été effectuées sur des roches cristallines de l'Oberharz par les méthodes de l'U-Pb sur zircon et sphène et du Rb-Sr sur roches totales et sur biotites. La méthode U-Pb, appliquée aux zircons idiomorphes et détritiques arrondis de l'écaille allochtone des gneiss d'Ecker, fournit un âge (intersection supérieure) d'environ 1,6 Ga au moins pour la source des matériaux surtout métasédimentaires. L'intersection inférieure indique la possibilité d'un événement métamorphique à ± 560 Ma soit dans les gneiss d'Ecker, soit dans les roches-sources de leurs zircons. Un résultat concordant à ± 295 Ma fourni par le sphène d'une métavolcanite enregistre l'action du métamorphisme de contact engendré dans les gneiss d'Ecker par les intrusions varisques.La mise en place des intrusions du massif gabbronoritique du Harzburg et celle des granite de Brocken et d'Ocker ont été contemporaines: âges de 293 à 297 Ma, compris dans l'intervalle d'approximation des mesures. Ce résultat est en faveur d'une même cause géotectonique pour l'ascension de ces magmas. C'est en relation avec ce processus que s'est produit le soulèvement de l'écaillé des gneiss d'Ecker, actuellement coincée entre le gabbro du Harzburg et le granite de Brocken.Les âges minéraux des plutons sont voisins des âges d'intrusion, ce qui indique un refroidissement rapide dans un niveau crustal peu profond.

The aim of the study was — besides the dating of metamorphic events — to evaluate the effects of multi-stage crystal growth, episodic and continuous Pb loss, and U gain on the discordant age patterns found for zircon populations of the polymetamorphic Baltimore Gneiss, the Precambrian basement in the Maryland Piedmont. Eight gneiss and migmatite samples were collected at two localities in the Phoenix and Towson dome, respectively. Their zircon populations were separated into twenty-three fractions of different size and optical appearance. A low-contamination method (T.E. Krogh, 1973) was used for the U-Pb analyses.Microscopy and electron-microprobe studies revealed internal heterogeneities of the zircon crystals: at least half of the grains of each population reflect more than one stage of crystal growth, with the last stage consisting of U-poor overgrowths (U: below 400 ppm, mostly below 200 ppm). Evidence for episodic U gain and overgrown material other than zircon has not been found. On a concordia diagram the “ages” obtained by upward extrapolations (1080 and 1180 m.y.) and downward extrapolations (421 and 455 m.y.) of the best-fit lines to the data points are in fair agreement with the geochronologic data found by other investigators and the probable times of metamorphic periods of Precambrian (Grenville) and early Paleozoic (Taconic) orogenies.Models of Pb loss by continuous diffusion cannot adequately explain the discordant age patterns: these are essentially the result of superposition of episodic Pb loss and zircon overgrowth during the Taconic (and Acadian?) metamorphisms. The zircon overgrowth appears to be present in all fractions, but its influence on the U-Pb systematics is generally not perceptible because it is overridden by the effect of episodic Pb loss. For the fractions showing the most discordant ages, the contribution of Pb loss to the discordancy was found to be at least 85 %.From the microscopic picture and the isotopic data, it appears that the bulk of the zircon substance crystallized during one or several high-grade metamorphisms accompanied by migmatization and granitization of the rocks in the course of the Grenville orogeny. Under consideration of zircon ages of Baltimore Gneiss rocks of Pennsylvania, the results point to a complex Grenville metamorphic history in the Maryland and Pennsylvania Piedmont, that lasted from at least 1200 m.y. until about 980 m.y. The granulite-facies metamorphism in the West Chester Prong, Pennsylvania, may be 50–200 m.y. younger than the metamorphic events in the gneiss domes of the Baltimore area. Although it seems that real differences exist with respect to the Precambrian ages of major zircon-forming events between the Phoenix and the Towson dome, the apparent difference of about 100 m.y. should be interpreted with caution, because it is impossible, so far, to evaluate quantitatively the influence of possibly much older inherited zircon components. 相似文献

U-Pb isotopic analyses were made on detrital zircon populations from sandstones and quartzites of the pre-Permian basement in an attempt to shed light on the presedimentary history of the zircons and the age of their primary source rocks. Eight rock samples were collected from the Saxothuringian and Moldanubian parts of the Bohemian Massif, the western part of the Upper Austroalpine Nappes, and the Southern Alps. The heterogeneous populations were separated into fractions of different size, magnetic susceptibility, color, and shape. Because of their typically pitted surface all zircon grains from the sandstones and quartzites appear to be detrital. Only in three samples from the Alps—one from a contact metamorphic aureole—the zircons show surface recrystallization and minor new growth. With the exception of some euhedral crystals in the Saxothuringian quartzites all zircon fractions have highly discordant U-Pb ages. On a concordia diagram their data points scatter slightly around best-fit lines with upper intersections between 2000 and 2300 m.y. From this pattern the following conclusions are reached:
- A large proportion of the material of the metasedimentary basement rocks in the Bohemian Massif as well as in the Alps derives from one or more sources, about 2000 to 2300 m.y. old.
- The estimated proportion of detrital zircons with primary ages of 700 to 1500 m.y. is less than 10%.
- The existence of a regional high-grade metamorphism in the Bohemian Massif as well as in the Alps during 700 to 1500 m.y. can be excluded. From Rb-Sr isotopic data, a metamorphism for the time prior to 1500 m.y. is very unlikely.

U-Pb isotopic analyses are reported for zircons of nine igneous rocks and high grade metamorphic paragneisses from the Silvretta nappe and the Gotthard massif, Switzerland.Following Silver and Deutsch (1961) the zircon populations isolated from six of these rocks were devided into series of size fractions with varying uranium content. An extensive Rb-Sr investigation has been made on some of these rock samples and their minerals (Arnold and Jäger, 1965: Gotthard massif, Grauert, 1966: Silvretta nappe). Rb-Sr measurements on biotites and mineral isochrons of individual gneiss samples yield ages which indicate the end of the Alpine and the Hercynian (=Variscan) metamorphism. Other measurements give mixed ages between these events. The U-Pb investigation of zircons, however, yield criteria for an even older event, 400 to 500 m.y. ago.The isotopic relationship indicates a strong episodic disturbance of the U-Pb systems in the paragneiss zircons with high losses of radiogenic lead. In a Concordia diagram the best fit lines to the data points of the paragneiss zircons from the Gotthard massif as well as from the Silvretta nappe trend both toward the data points of the orthogneiss zircons and intersect the Concordia at approximately 440 m.y. Rb-Sr analyses of the granitic orthogneisses from the Silvretta nappe (Flüela granite gneisses) gave a well defined isochron of 428 m.y. (=1.47×10–11y–1). This value agrees rather well with the age given by the intersection of the best fit lines to the paragneiss zircons with the Concordia.Considering the geological and petrographical observations we interpret this disturbance of the U-Pb systems in the paragneiss zircons as the result of an influence of regional high grade metamorphism and anatectic melting together with the formation of igneous rocks during the Caledonian petrogenesis.In the Silvretta the uranium rich zircons from the Flüela granite gneisses reflect a disturbance and lead loss probably during the Hercynian metamorphism. In the Gotthardmassif the zircons from a quartz diorite and an ultrabasic inclusion in this diorite, however, show no or only a slight influence of the later Hercynian and Alpine metamorphisms. The apparent ages of the zircons in the ultrabasic inclusion are nearly concordant (Pb206/U238: 448 m.y., Pb207/ U235: 452 m.y., Pb207/Pb206: 472 m.y.). There is in all orthogneiss zircons some evidence of older inhereted U-Pb components besides new zircon growth.If we assume an episodic model for the lead loss and a disturbance 450 m.y. ago the minimum primary age of the detrital zircon components in the paragneisses would be 1500 m.y.
