Pb and Nd Isotopic Compositions of Basement and Granitoid in the Qilianshan: Constraints on Tectonic Affinity
-
摘要: 对扬子陆块的西北部边界至今尚未得到有效的限定.中央山系西段祁连山带基底岩系和花岗岩类的Pb-Nd同位素组成为限定扬子陆块的西北边界提供限制.祁连山带前寒武纪基底岩系的Nd同位素亏损地幔模式年龄(TDM)主要分布于0.75-2.5 Ga之间, 峰值为2.1 Ga左右; 该带古生代花岗岩类的TDM变化于1.07-2.14 Ga之间.由此表明, 祁连山带地壳增长主要发生于元古宙, 缺乏太古宙地壳增长的信息.祁连山带前寒武纪基底和花岗岩类全岩均以高放射成因的铅同位素组成为特征, 极大多数样品的206Pb/204Pb > 18.0, 207Pb/204Pb > 15.5, 208Pb/204Pb > 38.0.因此, 祁连山带地壳增长特征和铅同位素组成特征与华北陆块存在明显的差异, 而与扬子陆块一致, 从而表明祁连山带具有扬子型陆块的构造属性.因此, 扬子陆块的西北部边界扩大至祁连山带的北侧.自新元古代以来, 祁连山带经历了岩石圈裂解作用, 并有洋盆形成, 但这些构造事件均发生在扬子型陆块内部的地质背景.Abstract: The northwestern boundary of the Yangtze (South China) block has not been efficiently constrained yet. Pb and Nd isotopic compositions of the Qilianshan Precambrian basements and granitoids in the western segment of the Central Oro-genie System (COS) of China provide constraints on the northwestern boundary of the Yangtze block. Most samples from the Qilianshan Precambrian basement have mantle-depleted Nd isotopic model ages (TDM)ranging from 0. 75 to 2. 5 Ga, with a peak value of -2. 1 Ga. The Qilianshan Paleozoic granitoids have TDM values ranging from 1. 07 to 2. 14 Ga. They show that crustal growth of the Qilianshan mainly occurred in the Proterozoic, without significant Archean information. The Precambrian basement rocks and the Paleozoic granitoids are characterized by high radiogenic Pb isotopic composition. Most samples have 206Pb/204Pb > 18. 0, 207Pb/204Pb > 15. 5 and 208Pb/204Pb > 38. 0. The TDM values and Pb isotopic compositions of the Qilianshan basement and granitoids are similar to those of the Yangtze block but distinct from those of the North China block, indicating that the crustal basement of Qilianshan has an affinity with the Yangtze block. It is suggested that the northwestern boundary of the Yangtze block is located along the north side of the Qilianshan belt. Since the Proterozoic, the Qilianshan belt had experienced lithospheric rifting and subsequent Qilian ocean opening. These tectonic events had thus happened within the Yangtze block.
