To clarify the relationship of the metamorphic intrusions along the west margin of the Yangtze craton and their metamorphic history after crystallization, the petrochemical and trace element geochemical characters, zircon SHRIMP U-Pb dating, and the chemical compositions of coexisting hornblendes and plagioclases from Neoproterozoic metamorphic intrusions in Kangding (康定), Sichuan (四川) Province, and Yuanmou (元谋), Yunnan (云南) Province, were studied. Combined with the former published data, it is indicated that the Kangding granitic plutons and Yuanmou complex in the west margin of the Yangtze craton generally formed at the same period. Metamorphic event at ~700 Ma existed extensively, at least covering from Kangding area in Sichuan to the Eshan (峨山) area in Central Yunnan. Moreover, amphibolite facies may represent the peak regional metamorphic condition.
通过对康定杂岩黑云母、角闪石 Ar-Ar 年龄研究,得出康定杂岩黑云母、角闪石中 Ar 同位素组成明显存在地质离散,有过剩氩;Ar-Ar 年龄并不反映矿物形成后的变质冷却历史。坪的产生可能是由过剩^(40)Ar 存在于非晶粒边缘的缺陷之中,使其与放射性成因^(40)Ar 具有相似活化能,从而使不同种 Ar 组分等比例释气所致。经计算,样品中过剩氩约占氩总量的16%左右。
