    西南天山巴什苏洪碱性杂岩中异性石成因及对稀有金属成矿的指示

    Genesis of Eudialyte in the Bashisuhong Alkaline complex of the Southwest Tianshan: Implications for Rare Metal Mineralization

    • 摘要: 异性石是过碱性岩中赋存锆铌和稀土元素(Zr-Nb-REE)的关键矿石矿物,其矿物成分记录了岩浆起源、演化至热液活动的信息,为评估碱性岩成矿潜力提供了重要依据。巴什苏洪杂岩体位于塔里木北缘–南天山结合带,其中发育的霓辉正长岩脉侵入于大理岩中,岩脉呈灰黑色–紫红色,与大理岩接触界限呈不规则形态,局部可见塑性流动构造,岩脉内部常见富硅灰石围岩捕虏体,表明其与大理岩之间存在物质交换作用。岩脉宽为0.33~3.71 m,延伸30~170 m,大体呈EW向展布。脉石矿物主要为条纹长石、霓辉石、硅灰石,矿石矿物主要为异性石、磷灰石和榍石。异性石多为自形晶,粒径为0.1~5 mm,内部发育平直的振荡环带,微量元素组成受离子半径–电价控制(Charge-and-Radius-Controlled),为典型的岩浆成因。霓辉正长岩的微量元素组成均显示出富集LREE、亏损HREE的特征,并具有显著的Eu、Sr负异常,表明其母岩浆可能与碱性玄武岩成分相当,并经历过斜长石的结晶分异作用。当碱性岩浆侵入到大理岩中时,大理岩对碱性岩浆的同化作用使得大量CaO质组分加入,这种同化作用不仅为异性石的形成提供了关键物质,同时CaO含量的增加还可提高Cl的溶解度、降低固相线温度,从而促进岩浆进一步演化并实现稀有金属的超常富集。因此,碱性岩浆与大理岩的相互作用是西南天山异性石成矿的关键机制,两者的接触带可作为稀有金属成矿的重要找矿靶区。

       

      Abstract: Eudialyte is a critical ore mineral enriched in zirconium, niobium, and rare earth elements (Zr-Nb-REE), and often occurs in peralkaline rocks. Its composition records key information from magma genesis, evolution, to hydrothermal activities, providing important insights for evaluating the metallogenic potential of alkaline rocks. The Bashisuhong complex is located in the junction zone between the Northern Tarim Basin and the South Tianshan Orogen, where aegirine-augite syenite dikes host Zr-Nb-REE mineralization. These dikes, exhibiting a gray-black to purplish-red coloration, display irregular contact boundaries with the marble and locally visible plastic flow structures. Wollastonite-rich wall-rock xenoliths are commonly observed within these dikes, indicating material exchange with the marble. The dikes are 0.33–3.71 m wide, extend 30–170 m, and are generally oriented east-west. Gangue minerals primarily consist of perthite, aegirine-augite, and wollastonite, while ore minerals are mainly eudialyte, apatite, and titanite. Eudialyte is predominantly euhedral, with grain sizes ranging from 0.1 to 5 mm, and exhibits well-developed straight oscillatory zoning. Their trace element characteristics are controlled by charge-and-radius-controlled (CHARAC) substitution mechanisms, indicating a typical magmatic origin. Both whole-rock and eudialyte samples exhibit light rare earth element (LREE) enrichment and heavy rare earth element (HREE) depletion, accompanied by significant negative Eu and Sr anomalies, indicating extensive fractional crystallization of plagioclase in the primary magma of the syenite dikes and compositionally similar to alkaline basalt. When alkaline magma intruded into marble, assimilation of the marble introduced substantial CaO components. This assimilation not only supplied critical materials for eudialyte formation but also, through increased CaO content, enhanced Cl solubility and lowered the solidus temperature, thereby facilitating further magma evolution and achieving supernormal enrichment of rare metals. Therefore, the interaction between alkaline magma and marble represents a crucial mechanism for eudialyte mineralization in the junction zone between Northern Tarim Basin and South Tianshan Orogen, making their contact zones promising targets for rare metal exploration.
