Full textThe Massigui degree sheet (South Mali) is composed of metavolcano sedimentary rocks and large masses of plutonic rocks of Paleoproterozoic age. It is crossed by a shear zone of crustal scale, which is set up in the interface of the batholith and metavolcano sedimentary sequences. The shear zone is littered with bodies of dioritic and granitoid rocks. The understanding and studying of such matter have become a regional issue.Paleoproterozoic rocks don’t crop out well and the area is covered by abundant lateritic formations, which prevent us from seeing the contacts between different units and few academic geological studies have been done on the region despite its high mineral potential. The understanding of the geology of the region required a multidisciplinary approach combining both field work and laboratory, (e.g. petrostructural study, microscopic observations, geochemistry of rocks and minerals) which were undertaken in this thesis.The data collected as part of this thesis, indicate a fundamental link between dioritic rocks and granitoid that line the shear zone Banifing. This establishment is to support the functioning of the occurrence of shearing Banifing along magmatic suite implements, which shows a complete evolution from diorites to the granites through the monzodiorites and granodiorites. This suite has been called magmatic plutonic suite of Banifing

Full textL’évolution progressive des conditions thermiques enregistrées dans les roches métamorphiques suggère que la géodynamique globale est passée d’un régime archéen peu mobile à la tectonique des plaques moderne telle que nous la connaissons. La présence de styles tectonométamorphiques contrastés au Paléoprotérozoïque implique que cette période est clé et transitoire, mais le moment de l’initiation de la transition, sa durée et son expression géologique sont encore largement débattus. Un des éléments de réponse se trouve dans la croûte moyenne à inférieure qui joue un rôle primordial lors de la collision continentale en stabilisant la masse orogénique en réponse au raccourcissement. La quantification du métamorphisme des séquences supracrustales de cet âge sert alors de base à la compréhension des processus accrétionnaires qui s’opèrent au cœur des orogènes en particulier d’âge paléoprotérozoïque, et permet à la fois de discuter du comportement des géochronomètres lors d’épisodes d’anatexie prolongés et d’investiguer la nature des terranes granulitiques. Une approche pétrochronologique quantitative est appliquée sur des séquences supracrustales de l’Orogène Trans-Hudson (OTH), combinant des observations de terrain, de la pétrographie optique, de la microcartographie élémentaire SEM-MLA et microXRF, de la géochimie des éléments majeurs et traces EPMA et LA-ICP-MS, de la modélisation d’équilibres de phases, et de la géochronologie Lu-Hf sur grenat et U-Pb sur zircon, monazite et rutile. Les résultats permettent de définir des chemins Pression-Température-temps-Chimie-Déformation (P-T-t-X-D) et de quantifier le métamorphisme prograde et rétrograde, l’initiation, la durée et les conditions d’épisodes de fusion partielle, ainsi que les taux d’enfouissement et d’exhumation. Finalement, nos résultats permettent d’estimer l’initiation de la collision continentale par un enregistrement métamorphique direct et s’insèrent dans la. Cette thèse s’intéresse au matériel de croûte moyenne provenant du sud-est de la Province du Churchill (SEPC), une branche de l’OTH coincée entre les cratons du Supérieur et Nord Atlantique qui affleure au Québec et au Labrador, Canada. Un échantillonnage ciblé le long d’un transect est-ouest permet de retracer l’histoire tectonométamorphique de la province, principalement affectée par l’épisode orogénique trans-husonien entre ~1900 et 1800 Ma. L’empreinte métamorphique de l’OTH est diachrone d’un bord à l’autre du SEPC, et principalement enregistrée dans les deux ceintures orogéniques du Nouveau Québec et des Torngat. On estime l’âge de la collision continentale à ~1885 Ma dans l’Orogène des Torngat et argumente que la marge occidentale du craton Nord Atlantique n’a pas été remobilisée durant cet épisode. Le collage des domaines de Kuujjuaq et de George, deux blocs crustaux du centre de la province, est daté à ~1836 Ma. La collision continentale dans l’ONQ est estimée autour de 1800 Ma et associée au développement d’une discontinuité tectonométamorphique entre la plaque supérieure de l’Orogène du Nouveau Québec (Domaine de Kuujjuaq) et son propre bassin d’avant-pays (Zone Rachel-Laporte) en réponse au raccourcissement. Une exception métamorphique est enregistrée dans le Complexe de Mistinibi, un des blocs lithotectoniques paléoprotérozoïques du SEPC, où l’épisode granulitique est daté autour de ~2100 Ma. On avancedes arguments pétrochronologiques datant le métamorphisme prograde à ~2150 Ma suivi d’une longue histoire suprasolidus (~55-70 Ma) entre 2140 et 2070 Ma. Nous interprétons que ce domaine a agi comme un bloc restitique rigide placé en position super-crustale lors de l’évènement majeur hudsonien, ce qui a permis de préserver son histoire métamorphique et empêché une remobilisation subséquente. Dans l’ensemble, ce modèle diachrone de collisions et collages crustaux successifs est en accord avec un régime accrétionnaire à collisionnel en contexte modérément chaud. Le SEPC expose alors des caractéristiques communes à des régimes tectoniques archéens et à la tectonique des plaques moderne.
The secular changes of thermal conditions recorded by metamorphic rocks suggest that the Earth’s geodynamic regime transitioned froman Archean stagnant lid toward the modern global plate tectonic regime. The occurrence of contrasting tectonometamorphic styles during the Paleoproterozoic Era imply that this time period was a pivotal point but the timing, duration and geological expression of this geodynamic transition are still debated. Some of the answers occur in the middle-to-lower crustal rock record which plays a major role during collision as it accommodates the shortening and stabilizes the whole orogenic structure. Thus, themetamorphic record of supracrustal sequences constitutes a direct window on the accretionary processes that occur in the core of Paleoproterozoic orogens and the nature of granulitic terranes. We apply a systematic integrated petrochronology approach that combines field work; optical petrography; SEM-MLA and micro XRF mapping; EPMA and LA-ICP-MS major and trace element chemistry; phase equilibria modeling; and Lu-Hf garnet and U-Pb zircon, monazite, rutile geochronology on supracrustal sequences from the Paleoproterozoic Trans-Hudson Orogen (THO). The results are integrated interm of quantitative PressureTemperature-time-chemistry-Deformation (P-T-t-X-D) paths that enable to asses prograde and retrograde metamorphic conditions, on set, duration and conditions of anatexis, burial and exhumation rates, and to discuss the behaviour of geochronometers during long-lived anatexis episodes. Our results also provide a robust framework to date the continental collision initiation by direct prograde metamorphic record. This thesis investigates mid-crustal material from the Southeastern Churchill Province (SECP), a branch of the THO squeezed between the Superior and North Atlantic cratons that outcrops in Québec and Labrador, Canada. A systematic sampling along a west-to-east transect of the SECP serves as the basis for deciphering its tectonometamorphic history, mainly related to the THOepisode at ~1900-1800 Ma. The THOmetamorphic imprint is diachronous from one side of the SECP to the other, and principally recorded in the New Quebec (NQO) and Torngat (TO) orogenic belts bounding the province. We argue that continental collision in the TO was initiated at c. 1885 Ma and that the occidental margin of the North Atlantic Cratonwas not remobilized during this event. We date the collage and amalgamation of the Kuujjuaq and George River domains, two lithotectonic blocks in the centre of the province, at 1836 Ma. We estimate the continental collision in the NQO at 1800 Ma and highlight the presence of a tectonometamorphic discontinuity between the upper plate of the NQO (Kuujjuaq Domain) and its own foreland basin (Rachel-Laporte Zone) that developed as a response to the horizontal shortening. A metamorphic exception is recorded in one of the Paleoproterozoic lithotectonic blocks, the Mistinibi-Raude Domain, whose granulitic episode is estimated around ~2.1 Ga. We provide petrochronologic arguments for subsolidus prograde metamorphism at ~2150 Ma, and a long-lived mid-crustal partial melting history from 2140 to 2070 Ma (~55-70 Myr). We interpret that this domain has acted as a rigid restitic block in a superstructural position during the 1.9-1.8 Ga THO, which has prevented its remobilization and any loss of its early metamorphic record. This diachronic model of successive collisions and crustal amalgamations agrees with an accretionary to collisionnal tectonic regime in a moderate thermal environment. The SECP exposes metamorphic and architectural features from Archean and modern plate tectonic regimes.

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to investigate the petrologic nature and geometry of the outcropping Madagascar granulitic crust. We have created a geological database of the southern third of Madagascar (in the Madagascar Laborde 1923 coordinate system). The data used are varied: field observations, satellite images, topographic, gravity, radiometric and aeromagnetic data. The analysis, processing, comparison and integration of these different datasets (after being made compatible) have enabled us to create precise and reliable new geological maps of the region, as well as new map representations. We will highlight particular the areas of major and minor vertical shear zones (SZ), fractures, dykes and lithological boundaries. Thus, we clarify the nature of the structural-lineaments, the so-called Bongolava – Ranotsara shear zone: the ductile structure oriented 140 °N is on a regional scale due to the North SZ deflections oriented N ° 157, and the “Ranotsara” fractures (orientation 140 ° N) does not exist in terms of regional fault, but is the results of faults relays with a size ≤ 60 km long which are oriented 115 °N, 140 °N and 160 °N. SZ are the sites of localisation of anomalies rich in incompatible elements (U-Th). They are also the location of concentration of oxides of magnetite and titanomagnetite, together with the disappearance of biotite. These observations emphasize the concentration of magmas and the merger within the SZ. Thus, the SZ are focus the concentration of the magmas that provide heat by advection. In southern Madagascar, the conditions of high temperature (800 ° C) were homogenous over a wide area. We establish a new lithological map, highlighting competency contrasts: SZ grow preferentially in the aluminous orthogneiss; aluminous metasediments and ampibolo-migmatites are more resistant and form boudins at different scales; all of the granites, syenites and stratoïdes amphibolo-migmatites are the most rigid blocks. We identify kilometers of dykes: basalt, dolerites and microgranite, they're preferentially oriented at 25 °N and 120 °N. By cross-correlating our data, we show that the position of economic mineralization is controlled by the kilometer scale anisotropies (SZ, hinges folds, lithological boundaries) that localize interchange and magmatic fluids. The primary mineralization types (metamorphic or metasomatic: corundum, iron and graphite) are located within the SZ. The secondary mineralization types (uranothorianite, gold) are explained by remobilizations in the SZ. The final mineralization is controlled by the geometry of river systems and faults. On the scale of Gondwana, the geometry of Neoproterozoic major SZ controls the geometries of faults and dykes (170 Ma-90 Ma) which are oriented in 160 °N. In four regions: Satrokala, Fenoarivo, Analavoka, Lavaraty; we identified magnetic and gravity "bulls eye" type anomalies which are located at the intersection of 160 °N oriented dykes with other ones oriented 30°N, 140 °N and 170 °N; and sometimes with SZ. These points correspond to circular topographic depressions (10 m - 2. 5 km in diameter) isolated or in clusters. These areas are potential kimberlite intrusions. Their presence at the intersection of kilometric anisotropies supports the rapid ascent of silicate magmas, resulting in the possible presence of diamondiferous kimberlites

Full textThe Mayo Kebbi massif (south-western Chad) is located between the Congo craton, the West African craton and the Saharan Metacraton. It consists of two greenstone belts (Zalbi and Goueygoudoum), three magmatic complexes (Gauthiot falls, Lere, Figuil) and post-tectonic intrusions distinguished on the basis of their structural, petrological, geochemical and geochronological characteristics. The geodynamic evolution of this massif includes the following phases:Phase 1: Emplacement of a Mafic to Intermediate Plutonic (MIP) complex. Boloro metadiorite, which belongs to this complex, is dated at 748 ± 4 Ma (U-Pb zircon age). This metadiorite is enriched in REE and characterized by LaN/YbN ~ 12, Sr/Y > 32, high LILE, Cr and Ni contents but negative anomalies in Nb-Ta. These features are attributed to partial melting of the slab followed by interaction of the produced magmas with the mantle wedge during their ascent.Phase 2: Emplacement of metagabbros and metabasalts (700 ± 10 Ma: U-Pb zircon age) of the Zalbi metavolcanic-sedimentary group. These rocks are characterized by a decoupling of LILE and HFSE, negative Nb-Ta anomalies, weak to moderate LREE fractionation relative to HREE. In particular, their geochemical characteristics are similar to modern back-arc basins. The isotopic compositions of Sr and Nd of these rocks preclude contamination by old continental crust of the related magmas during their emplacement. Accordingly, the MIP complex and the Zalbi metavolcanic-sedimentary group are associated to juvenile accretion in an island arc/back-arc basin tectonic setting.Phase 3: The syntectonic quartz metadiorite of Gauthiot Falls magmatic complex (665 ± 1 Ma: U-Pb zircon age, Penaye et al., 2006) is emplaced during a first collision event, which involves the Mayo Kebbi massif and the Adamaoua-Yade domain to the east. This event marks the beginning of the closure of the Zalbi back-arc basin and crustal thickening.Phase 4: The thickening is responsible of intra-crustal differentiation by partial melting of rocks accreted during the previous phases at the base of the arc. During this phase, several tonalitic intrusions are emplaced, including hornblende-biotite tonalites of Gauthiot Falls and Guegou tonalite (Lere magmatic complex). The latter is dated at 647 ± 5 Ma (U-Pb zircon age). The produced magmas have typical features of TTG magmas, leaving a garnet bearing residue at the base of the continental crust.Phase 5: The syntectonic tonalite of Figuil magmatic complex dated at 618 ± 6 Ma (U-Pb zircon age), is characterized by initial ?Nd = -3 and initial 87Sr/86Sr = 0.7073 attesting for the involvement of pre-Neoproterozoic crust on its origin. It marks a second collision event between the Mayo Kebbi massif and the Western domain of the Central African Orogenic Belt to the west.Phase 6: The Zabili A-type granite emplaced at 567 ± 10 Ma (U-Pb zircon age) and is related to the last magmatic events of the Pan-African orogenic cycle (post-tectonic intrusions). The geochemical (low Sr, Eu, Ca, Mg, Ni) and isotopic compositions (initial ?Nd = +3 à +7) of this granite point to an origin involving extreme fractionation of mantle-derived magmas which interacted with an old crustal component during their emplacement in the upper continental crust

Full textNous précisons la nature des alignements sur l'axe Bongolava – Ranotsara : (i) La structure ductile de direction N 140°, cartographiée dans plusieurs littératures, n'est qu'une impression régionale (à petite échelle) due à la déflexion N 157° des ZC de direction Nord – Sud. La faille de Ranotsara (de direction N 140°) n'existe pas en termes de faille régionale, elle est une impression (à petite échelle) de la restitution cartographique causée par le relais de failles de taille ≤60 km de long et qui sont orientées N 115°, N 140° et N 160°.
Nous identifions que les ZC sont les lieux de localisation d'anomalie en éléments incompatibles (U-Th). Elles sont également le lieu de concentration d'oxydes de magnétite et titanomagnétite, associé à la disparition de la biotite. Ces observations soulignent la concentration des magmas et de la fusion au sein des ZC. Ainsi, les ZC sont le lieu de concentration de magmas qui permettent l'advection de chaleur. En effet, dans le Sud de Madagascar les conditions de haute température (800°C) sont homogénéisées sur de grande surface.
Nous établissons une nouvelle carte des ensembles lithologiques qui met en évidence des contrastes de compétence: les ZC se développent préférentiellement dans l'ensemble d'orthogneiss peu alumineux; les ensembles de métasédiments alumineux et les gneiss migmatitiques à amphibole sont plus résistants et forment des boudins à différentes échelles ; l'ensemble de granites et syénites stratoïdes et gneiss migmatitiques à amphibole constituent les blocs les plus rigides. Nous identifions des dykes kilométriques de basaltes, de dolérites et de microgranites qui sont orientés préférentiellement sur les directions N 25° et N 120°.
Par croisement des données, nous montrons que la position des minéralisations économiques est contrôlée par les anisotropies kilométriques (ZC, charnières de plis, limites lithologiques) qui localisent les circulations fluides et magmatiques. Les minéralisations primaires (métamorphiques ou métasomatiques : corindons, fer et graphite) se localisent au sein des ZC. Les minéralisations secondaires (uranothorianite, or) s'expliquent par des remobilisations au sein des ZC. La position finale des minéralisations s'explique cependant par la géométrie des réseaux hydrographiques et des failles. A l'échelle du Gondwana, la géométrie des ZC majeures néoprotérozoïques contrôle le développement des systèmes de failles et de dykes (170Ma 90Ma) orientés N 160°.
Dans 4 régions : Satrokala, Fenoarivo, Analavoka, Lavaraty ; existent des anomalies magnétiques et gravimétriques de type «bulls eyes» qui se localisent à l'intersection des dykes N 160° et des dykes N 30°, N 140° et N 170° ; et parfois avec les ZC. Ces points correspondent à des creux topographiques circulaires (10 m - 2,5 km de diamètre) isolés ou associés en champ de point. Ces zones sont potentiellement des intrusions kimberlitiques. La présence de ces pipes à l'intersection d'anisotropies kilométriques est favorable à l'ascension rapide des magmas silicatés, soit la présence de kimberlites diamantifères.
