Pb isotopic geochemical study on the crustal structure of Tongbaishan

Pb isotopic composition of the Tongbai complex, distributed in the Tongbaishan to the west of the Dabieshan, ranges between the Dabie core complex and the Dabie ultral-high pressure (UHP) metamorphic complex, the latter having more radiogenic Pb isotopic composition than the former. Granites from the Jigongshan pluton, which intruded mainly into the Tongbai complex, are distinct from the Tongbai complex but similar to the Dabie core complex in Pb isotopic composition, showing that the magma of the Jigongshan granites was derived from the partial melting of the Dabie core complex. According to Pb isotopic compositional variation model in the vertical crustal section and magma source from the Jigongshan pluton, it is suggested that the Tongbai complex was an upper rock serial of the Dabie core complex, which is beneath the Dabie UHP metamorphic complex in the crustal structure of the Tongbai-Dabie orogenic belt. The Tongbai complex was not well preserved in the Dabie area due to the high exhumed crustal section. However, the crustal section in the Tongbai area was exhumed less than that in the Dabie area, and the deep crust in the Tongbai area still contains the basement composition similar to the Dabie core complex. Therefore, the crustal basements from the Dabie to Tongbai areas are united. The present distribution of the basement blocks in different locations of the Tongbai-Dabie orogenic belt reflects different exposure of the crustal section.

Zircon LA-ICPMS study and petrogenesis simulation of Dahuabei pluton in the Wulashan area,Inner Mongolia

Dahuabei pluton in the Wulashan area,Inner Mongolia,is an alkaline and peraluminous granitic pluton.LA-ICPMS U-Pb dating of zircons indicates that this pluton crystallized at 330±10 Myr.The pluton did not experience apparent zircon fractionation.The consistent temperatures between Zr saturation (765℃) and the average zircon-rutile Ti equilibrium (780℃),together with zircon ages and their CL images,indicated that there were no inherited zircons in this pluton.Through the simulation of the dry-system crystallization process of magma cooling at 200 MPa and 1100-709℃,the phase diagram and composition evolution tendency of different phases were obtained.The magma reached its liquidus at 1069℃.Sanidine was the first crystallized phase;at 709℃ the residual magma was less than 4%,and the range of 1069-719℃ should be the most suitable approach to the real condition.It is shown that at least some part of the pluton underwent such isobaric equilibrium crystallization processes during its crystallization.

Confidence bands for quantile function under random censorship

Some new confidence bands are established for the quantile function from randomly censored data. The method does not require estimation of the density function. As an application, we construct bands for the quantile function of the length of fractures in the granitic plutons near Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba, where an Underground Research Laboratory is being built for the nuclear waste disposal program in Canada.Geological Survey of Canada Contribution Number 10386.Research partially supported by an NSERC Canada Grant.Research done while at Carieton University, supported by NSERC Canada and EMR Canada Grants of M.

Magma flow inferred from magnetic fabrics in Wanning gabbro pluton and diabase dykes, Hainan

Measurements of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) were performed on a gabbro pluton and 7 diabase dykes in the Wanning area, southeast Hainan Island. Rock magnetism showed that pseudo-single domain (PSD) to multidomain (MD) Ti-poor magnetite carries the magnetic fabric in the gabbro pluton whereas MD Ti-poor magnetite carries the magnetic fabric in the diabase dykes. The corrected anisotropy degree (Pj ) in most specimens was found to be less than 1.2 which is indicative of a possible flow-related magnetic fabric. The AMS eigenvectors within each site are generally well grouped. The maximum susceptibility axes (K1 ) of the gabbro pluton are inclined towards the north at low angles (< 30°). K1 axes of the diabase dykes are inclined towards the NNW and SSE with dip angles of ≤ 30°. From this study, it appears that the emplacement mode of the gabbro pluton was characterized by intrusion from the north to the south at a low angle whereas the diabase dykes were emplaced from the NNW to the SSE at low to moderate angles. This was verified by comparison of the rock fabric to the magnetic fabric. All of this evidence leads to the conclusion that the Wanning gabbro pluton and diabase dykes were the products of pulsative intrusion from the same magma chamber in the area far to the north of Wanning, which suggests that basic rocks may exist beneath the Indosin- ian granite in the area to the north of Wanning.     

房山岩体的岩浆来源、形成机制及动力学意义

房山岩体是华北东部典型的燕山期中酸性侵入杂岩体,其地球化学特征为富Si、Na、Al、Sr,亏损高场强元素(Nb、Ta),轻重稀土分异强烈,Sr-Nd同位素具有类似EMI型富集地幔的特点,表明其岩浆来自于加厚下地壳的部分熔融,并且中生代华北东部下地壳已经被早先的富集岩石圈地幔置换.不同基性程度岩浆的不完全混合是形成微粒闪长质包体的原因.侵入杂岩的角闪石压力计显示下地壳部分熔融形成的中酸性岩浆先后在19~8 km里的深度范围内结晶就位.古太平洋板块在地幔过渡带深度于早白垩世水平俯冲至太行山一线,洋壳脱水导致上覆地幔部分熔融,后者成为加热下地壳部分熔融的热源.     

秦岭西坝花岗岩LA-ICP-MS 锆石 U-Pb 年代学及其地质意义

西坝花岗岩位于南秦岭构造带陕西境内, 主要由花岗闪长岩、二长花岗岩和英云闪长岩组成。LA-ICP-MS 锆石U-Pb 原位同位素定年结果表明, 西坝岩体侵位于印支期, 由二长花岗岩样品(XB01-2)得到了219±1 Ma的年龄, 花岗闪长岩样品(XB06-1) 给出的年龄是218±1 Ma, 二者在误差范围内一致, 约218Ma代表了西坝花岗岩体的成岩时代。西坝岩体的年龄结合区域构造背景以及前人研究的地球化学特征, 说明它可能是秦岭主造山期岩浆活动的产物。     

Two granitic plutons in Central Western Kunlun Belt: Their ages and possible sources

Geochronological and isotope studies have been carried out for two important plutons in the Central Western Kunlun Belt. U-Pb single grain zircon dating results show that the North Kudi Pluton (404 Ma) was produced near the end of Caledonian; whereas the previously labeled Hercynian Arkarz Mountain Pluton (215 Ma) is either an Indosinian pluton or a product of multiple-phase magmatism. Sm/Nd isotopic data suggest that their sources are quite heterogeneous, and continental crust played an important role during the generation of these two granitic plutons.
