摘要

板块构造最早出现在地球上的时间仍有争议,它可能从太古代开始逐渐演化。岩石学记录表明,以低温度-压力变质造山作用为特征的现代型板块构造可能在新元古代才开始。在这里,我们展示了已知最古老的来自波罗的海Belomorian省(BP)的冷俯冲榴辉岩。结合世界范围内其他同时期的低T/P变质记录,我们认为现代板块构造始于奥罗世,并与哥伦比亚超大陆事件有关。研究了BP地区库鲁-瓦拉杂岩中两种具有不同原岩成因和岩石矿物学特征的榴辉岩。根据石榴石及其矿物包裹体的化学环隙,确定了其向榴辉岩相的进变质作用,并通过伪剖面法推断出其峰值温度为680 ~ 710℃,峰值温度为2.4 GPa(290±6℃/GPa)。峰后演化记录了斜辉石-斜长石共长体和斜辉石破碎,石英-角闪孔/正辉石片层析出,以及各种低品位含水矿物。锆石同位素化学分析表明,两类榴辉岩原岩分别位于2.75 ~ 27.4亿年和25亿年前的不同构造背景下,但均在1.89 ~ 1.87亿年以前的单次造山旋回中变质为榴辉岩相。奥罗世-贝洛莫期榴辉岩似乎经历了类似中新世喜马拉雅高压榴辉岩的构造变质演化。我们认为,由于现代板块构造的起始作用,在奥罗世存在一个与喜马拉雅造山带相当的潜在原型巨型造山带。

Orosirian cold eclogite from Baltica marks the onset of modern plate tectonics
When plate tectonics first emerged on Earth is still debated, it may have evolved gradually since the Archean. Evidence from the petrologic record suggested that the modern style plate tectonics, characterized by orogenic processes of low T/P (temperature to pressure) metamorphism may have only begun in the Neoproterozoic. Here we present the oldest known cold subduction eclogites from the Belomorian Province (BP) in Baltica. Alongside other contemporaneous low T/P metamorphic records worldwide, we conclude that modern plate tectonics initiated in the Orosirian and was linked to the Columbia supercontinent event. Two types of eclogites with distinct protolith origins and petrological-mineralogical characteristics from the Kuru-Vaara (KV) complex in the BP were investigated. The prograde metamorphism to eclogite facies is defined by the chemical annuli of garnet and therein mineral inclusions, and peak conditions of 680-710 °C and 2.4 GPa (290 ± 6 °C/GPa) are inferred by pseudosection method. The post-peak evolution is recorded by clinopyroxene-plagioclase symplectite and clinopyroxene breakdown with quartz-amphibole/orthopyroxene lamellae exsolution, and various low-grade hydrous minerals. Zircon isotopic-chemical analyses indicate that the protolith of each type of eclogite was emplaced 2.75-2.74 and 2.5 billion years ago (Ga), respectively, under different tectonic settings, but both were metamorphosed to eclogite facies during a single orogenic cycle before 1.89-1.87 Ga. The Orosirian Belomorian eclogite seems to have undergone tectonometamorphic evolution similar to that of the Miocene Himalayan high-pressure counterpart. We propose that a potential prototype mega-orogen existed in the Orosirian, comparable to the Himalayan Orogen, as the result of modern plate tectonics initiation.
