    扬子西北缘鱼洞子杂岩斜长角闪岩研究与早期大陆地壳演化

    Amphibolite from the Yudongzi Complex on the northwestern margin of the Yangtze Block and related early continental crustal evolution

    • 摘要: 地球早期大陆地壳的形成与演化过程是前寒武纪地质研究的热点。扬子板块作为研究早期大陆地壳生长演化的天然实验室,其不同地区是否具有相似的早期地壳演化规律仍未形成共识。文章以扬子西北缘基底岩系鱼洞子杂岩为研究对象,针对其中的斜长角闪岩开展了详细的野外地质、锆石U-Pb年代学和全岩主量及微量元素地球化学研究。结果表明,斜长角闪岩变质年龄为(2 492±22) Ma,代表了古元古代早期关键构造-热事件;斜长角闪岩具有轻稀土元素富集和高场强元素亏损的配分模式,原岩岩浆可能源自富集岩石圈地幔。综合分析研究结果和已发表资料,明确鱼洞子杂岩记录了扬子西北缘中—新太古代地壳新生和新生地壳改造、新太古代新生地壳生长和古老地壳再循环、古元古代早期古老地壳物质重融和高级变质以及古元古代末期区域变质的系列构造-热事件。在此基础上,文章总结了前人已发表的扬子北缘、西北缘和西南缘基底岩系岩石学、年代学和锆石Hf同位素资料,分析对比了不同区域基底岩系记录的构造-热事件之间的关系,认为扬子北缘、西北缘和西南缘经历了离散的太古代和相似的古元古代大陆地壳演化,明确了以约1 900 Ma为界,古元古代早中期古老地壳物质再造可能反映了扬子内部孤立古老块体的拼接与原始扬子克拉通的形成,与Nuna超大陆聚合相对应,古元古代末期的地壳垂向增生则可能与超大陆的裂解有关。

       

      Abstract: The formation and evolution of the Earth’s early continental crust remain a central theme in Precambrian geology. As a key natural laboratory for studying early crustal growth, the Yangtze Block exhibits debated regional variations in its early evolutionary history. This study presents integrated field investigations, zircon U-Pb geochronology, and whole-rock geochemical analyses of amphibolites from the Yudongzi Complex in the northwestern Yangtze Block. The amphibolites yield a metamorphic age of (2492 ± 22) Ma, recording a significant tectono-thermal event in the Early Paleoproterozoic. Geochemically, they show light rare earth element (LREE) enrichment and high-field-strength element (HFSE) depletion, indicative of protolith-derived magmas originating from a metasomatized lithospheric mantle. Combined with previous data, these results reveal four major tectono-thermal episodes in the northwestern Yangtze margin: Meso- to Neoarchean crustal rejuvenation and reworking; Neoarchean juvenile crustal growth and crustal recycling; Early Paleoproterozoic crustal remelting and high-grade metamorphism; and Late Paleoproterozoic regional metamorphism. By synthesizing petrological, geochronological, and zircon Hf isotopic data from basement rocks across the northern, northwestern, and southwestern margins of the Yangtze Block, we propose that these regions experienced divergent Archean but convergent Paleoproterozoic crustal evolution. The Early to Middle Paleoproterozoic crustal reworking (peaking at 1.90 Ga) likely reflects the amalgamation of isolated ancient micro-blocks to form the proto-Yangtze Craton, synchronous with the assembly of the Columbia (Nuna) supercontinent. In contrast, Late Paleoproterozoic vertical crustal accretion was associated with extensional tectonics during supercontinental breakup. These findings provide important constraints on the Yangtze Block’s incorporation into global Precambrian supercontinent cycles.
