Abstract

The Foping gneiss dome, which outcrops in the narrowest part of the Qinling Orogen, contains high-grade metamorphic rocks that record the collision between the North China Block (NCB) and South China Block (SCB). Herein, petrography, mineral chemistry, phase equilibria modeling and UPb geochronology are used to constrain the collision events responsible for the high-grade metamorphism and exhumation of the Foping gneiss dome. The pelitic and mafic granulites sampled from the dome reveal peak metamorphism at P/T conditions of 6.2–7.4 kbar/ 805–855 °C, and document clockwise P-T-t paths with retrograde metamorphism of amphibolite-facies at 3.4–4.7 kbar/ 605–715 °C. While the pelitic schist from the rim of this dome witnessed peak metamorphism at P/T conditions of 4.9–5.1 kbar/ 590–605 °C and retrograde metamorphism at 3.5–3.7 kbar/ 510–520 °C. UPb dating of zircon and monazite confirm ages of ∼247–240 Ma for peak metamorphism with granulite-facies, ages of ∼208–198 Ma for retrograde metamorphism. The two metamorphic stages may record the transition from crustal thickening to dome exhumation, and the age of peak metamorphism probably marks the timing of the collision between the NCB and SCB along the Qinling Orogen in the Early Triassic. The collision probably terminated in the Late Triassic. The new discovery of the Triassic metamorphic event in the Qinling, combined with previously reported collision event of the Dabie Orogen to the east, supports the idea that the continental collision between the NCB and SCB along the Qinling-Dabie Orogen was synchronous.
佛坪片麻岩穹隆的变质作用和地质年代:华中秦岭造山带早三叠世碰撞的启示
出露于秦岭造山带最狭窄处的佛坪片麻岩穹隆含有高品位变质岩,记录了华北地块(NCB)和华南地块(SCB)之间的碰撞。在这里,岩相学、矿物化学、相平衡模型和UPb地质年代学被用来约束造成佛坪片麻岩穹隆高品位变质和隆升的碰撞事件。从穹隆取样的辉长岩和黑云母花岗岩显示了在6.2-7.4千巴/805-855 °C的P-T-T条件下的峰值变质作用,并记录了顺时针P-T-T路径,以及在3.4-4.7千巴/605-715 °C的闪长岩类型逆变质作用。而该穹隆边缘的辉长岩片岩在4.9-5.1千巴/590-605 °C的P/T条件下发生了峰值变质作用,在3.5-3.7千巴/510-520 °C的条件下发生了逆变质作用。锆石和独居石的UPb年代测定证实,花岗岩变质峰值的年龄为247-240Ma,逆行变质的年龄为208-198Ma。这两个变质阶段可能记录了从地壳增厚到穹隆出露的过渡,而变质峰值的年龄可能标志着早三叠世秦岭造山带NCB和SCB碰撞的时间。碰撞可能在晚三叠世结束。秦岭三叠纪变质事件的新发现,结合之前报道的大别山以东的碰撞事件,支持了沿秦岭-大别山造山带的NCB和SCB大陆碰撞是同步进行的观点。
