Abstract

In the Altai Accretionary Wedge, several periods of Barrovian- and Buchan-type metamorphic cycles were dated from Ordovician to Permian. However, the timing and link between these cycles are not clear, and their causes are debated. In order to contribute to the understanding of Barrovian- to Buchan-type evolution of the accretionary wedges, we studied an area composed of three parallel belts in the easternmost extremity of the Hovd domain located in Mongolian Altai Zone: garnet gneiss in the north, garnet–staurolite–kyanite schist overprinted by ±sillimanite±cordierite±andalusite-bearing assemblages in the centre and garnet–sillimanite gneiss in the south. Petrography, garnet zoning and thermodynamic modelling indicate that the garnet gneiss from the northern belt records burial from ~510°C and ~3–4 kbar to ~600°C and ~5 kbar, followed by heating to ~660°C and decompression to ~4.5 kbar. The garnet–staurolite–kyanite schist from the central belt records burial from ~550°C and ~3–4.5 kbar to ~640–680°C and ~7 kbar, followed by decompression to the sillimanite stability field at ~650°C and ~6 kbar. Crystallization of cordierite, andalusite, late muscovite and chlorite in some samples indicates cooling on decompression to ~540°C and ~3.5 kbar. In the southern gneiss belt, the garnet–sillimanite gneiss with almost unzoned garnet suggests re-equilibration at ~6 kbar and ~710°C. In situ U–Pb monazite and xenotime dating carried out inclusions in porphyroblasts and matrix grains revealed Carboniferous and Permian ages. The monazite and xenotime from gneisses of the northern and southern belts record Carboniferous and Permian ages, which are interpreted as Carboniferous crystallization at c. 347 Ma associated with metamorphic peak, followed by Permian (re)crystallization at c. 300 and 283 Ma. In the central belt, rare Carboniferous xenotime grains in a garnet–staurolite–kyanite–andalusite–muscovite schist indicate a possible Carboniferous age of the prograde metamorphism. Predominant ages between c. 280 and 260 Ma recorded by monazite are interpreted as a result of complete recrystallization during an LP metamorphic overprint. The Carboniferous ages from the gneisses can be interpreted as constraining the timing of the exhumation of deep crustal rocks to shallow crustal levels. This event corresponds to the formation of crustal-scale migmatite-magmatite domes in the Mongolian Altai Zone. The prograde Barrovian assemblages in the central schist belt are interpreted as having formed contemporaneously during burial in a synform between the migmatite-magmatite domes. The Permian ages reflect LP–HT metamorphism, best recorded by the Buchan-type assemblages in the central schist belt, and are related to massive heat flux from tectonically mobile deep partially molten crust. Correlation with similar Barrovian- and Buchan-type episodes from the Chinese Altai Zone indicates multiple compressional and extensional events in the upper plate accretionary wedge, probably related to retreating and advancing modes of the subduction zone.

蒙古阿尔泰区石炭纪巴罗维至二叠纪布坎型变质循环:对增生造山运动压力循环的影响
在阿尔泰断积楔,从奥陶纪到二叠纪发生了多次巴罗维变质周期和布坎变质周期。然而,这些周期的时间和之间的联系并不清楚,其原因也存在争议。为了帮助理解增生楔的巴罗维型到布坎型演化,我们研究了位于蒙古阿尔泰区霍夫德域最东端由三个平行带组成的区域:北部的石榴石片麻岩、中部由含±闪长岩±堇青石±安山岩集合体覆盖的石榴石-辉长岩-安山岩片岩和南部的石榴石-闪长岩片麻岩。岩相学、石榴石分带和热力学模型表明,北部岩带的石榴石片麻岩经历了从 ~510°C 和 ~3-4 千巴到 ~600°C 和 ~5 千巴的埋藏过程,随后加热到 ~660°C 并减压到 ~4.5 千巴。中央带的石榴石-白云石-榍石片岩记录了从~550°C和~3-4.5千巴到~640-680°C和~7千巴的埋藏过程,随后减压到~650°C和~6千巴的矽卡岩稳定场。一些样品中的堇青石、安托卢斯石、晚期蕈云母和绿泥石的结晶表明,减压至~540°C和~3.5千巴时冷却。在南部片麻岩带,石榴石-矽线石片麻岩中的石榴石几乎没有分带,这表明在~6千巴和~710°C时发生了再沸腾。对斑岩和基质颗粒中的包裹体进行的原位 U-Pb monazite 和 xenotime 测定显示了石炭纪和二叠纪的年龄。北部和南部片麻岩中的独居石和氙石记录了石炭纪和二叠纪的年龄,可解释为石炭纪结晶出现在约 347 Ma 与变质高峰有关的时期,随后二叠纪(再)结晶出现在约 300 和 283 Ma。在中央带,石榴石-陶土-黑云母-黄铁矿-木栓石片岩中罕见的石炭纪异时粒表明,顺层变质作用的年龄可能为石炭纪。独居石记录的主要年龄介于约 280 至 260 Ma 之间,被解释为 LP 变质叠加过程中完全重结晶的结果。片麻岩的石炭纪年龄可解释为制约了深地壳岩石向浅地壳水平掘出的时间。这一事件与蒙古阿尔泰区地壳规模的伟晶岩-伟晶岩穹窿的形成相吻合。中央片岩带中的原生巴罗维集合体被解释为在辉绿岩-伟晶岩穹窿之间的同步地层埋藏过程中同时形成的。二叠纪的年龄反映了 LP-HT 变质作用,中央片岩带的布坎型集合体对此有最好的记录,并与构造移动的深部部分熔融地壳的大量热流有关。与中国阿尔泰带类似的巴罗维期和布坎型事件的相关性表明,上板块增生楔中发生了多次压缩和延伸事件,可能与俯冲带的退缩和推进模式有关。
