Abstract

La-Ce method is one of new geochronological methods developed recently. La and Ce are one of the rare earth elements, and, with Sm-Nd system. La-Ce system is very useful in understanding the evolution processes of crust and mantle. In this paper, I introduce the basic concept of the La-Ce method, and apply it in clarifying LREE pattern of source material of leuco-granitic gneisses from the Imweon area, Kangwon-do, and K-rich granite from the Anshan area in Liaoning Province, NE China. Sm-Nd data on the Anshan K-rich granites give an age of $3.16{\pm}0.06$ Ga($2{\sigma}$), with initial $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$=$0.50846{\pm}0.00005$ (${\epsilon}_{Nd}$=-1.5). On the basis of Ce and Nd isotopic ratio, leucogranitic gneiss and K-rich granite has been fractionated from the source material which had had similar to CHUR (chundritic uniform reservoir). And the initial ${\epsilon}_{Nd}$ value suggest that the crustal formation age of the Liaoning Province area, NE China was early Archean.

La-Ce법은 최근에 새로 개발된 연대측정법이다. 특히 La 및 Ce은 회토류원소군의 일원으로서 Sm-Nd법과 대비하여 해석할 경우, 지각물질 및 맨틀물질의 진화과정을 해석하는 데 있어서 아주 유용하게 쓰일 수가 있다. 본 논문에서는 La-Ce법의 기본개념에 대한 소개와 도불이 이를 토대로 하여 강원도 임원지 역의 우백질 화강편마암과 중국 요령성 안산지역에 분포하는 칼륨부화 화강암에 대하여 그 기원물질의 경희토류 분포양상을 유추하였다. 칼륨부화 화강암의 Sm-Nd년대는 $3.16{\pm}0.06$Ga($2{\sigma}$)이며 $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$초기치는 $0.50846{\pm}0.00005$(${\varepsilon}_{Nd}$=-1.5)이다. 이 초기치는 칼륨부화 화강암이 지각 내에서의 화성활동에 형성되어졌음을 의미한다. Nd 및 Ce 동위원소비의 결과에 이하면, 우백질 화강편마암과 칼륨부화 화강암은 CHUR과 거의 유사한 물질로부터 분화되었음을 알 수가 있다. 그리고 중국 동북부 료령성지역의 지각형성시기는 3.5Ga 보다 더 오래된 것으로 사료된다.
