英文摘要 | Variably serpentinized peridotites from the Zedang ophiolite in southern Tibet were magnetically and petrologically examined to understand the serpentinization process and evaluate the origin of magnetic anomalies in ultramafic-hosted tectonic settings. Magnetite occurs in the serpentine and brucite veins and is identified as the dominant magnetic carrier by thermomagnetic and petrological analyses. The magnetic susceptibility increases rapidly from <0.001 to ~0.02 SI for the <50% serpentinized samples followed by nearly constant values of 0.02–0.03 SI above 50% serpentinization. This transition corresponds with the formation of Fe-poor serpentine mesh (2–3 wt% FeO) and magnetite in the early stages and the replacement of mesh center olivine by Fe-rich serpentine (4–5 wt% FeO) without magnetite in the late stages. Brucite veins occur in the 50–70% serpentinized samples and indicate serpentinization temperatures from ~250 to <100°C. The serpentinization may initiate at an oceanic spreading ridge center under high temperatures (>250–300°C) to produce magnetite and subsequently continue at lower temperatures (<200–250°C) in near-seafloor settings and limit the magnetite formation, possibly associated with ophiolite emplacement. These serpentinized peridotites have higher magnetization intensities (average 2.26 Am−1) than dolerite dykes and basaltic volcanics (mostly <1 A m−1) in the area and should be the major source of aeromagnetic highs in the south Tibetan ophiolite belt. ©2020.
