我国天然铀氧化物的结构和化学特征

目前我国发现的天然铀氧化物为UO_(2.03)-UO_(2.85)的连续演化系列,均属UO_2(UO_(1.75)-UO_(2.30))的萤石型立方结构,即铀氧化物氧铀比的变化未产生相应的结构相的变化,但其物理特性却随着化学成分的变化(特别是矿物中氧铀比值)而变化,导致化学成分与结构相之间的矛盾。笔者认为天然铀氧化物中的六价铀(U~(6+))并不加入矿物晶格,而是以无定形铀酰离子团(UO_2)~(2+)或以三氧化铀的水化物(UO_3·nH_2O)形式存在于UO_2晶格的缺陷中。天然铀氧化物中这些非晶质的(UO_2)~(2+)或(UO_3·nH_2O)的混入量与生成的地质环境,特别是沉淀时体系的氧逸度、硫逸度有重要关系,它不只决定了形成铀氧化物的性质,同时也决定了矿物中氧铀比的变化。沥青铀矿是UO_2结晶体与呈凝胶的(UO_2)~(2+)基团及(UO_3·nH_2O)的混合物,因此,矿物中氧铀比的变化并不引起矿物相的转换。

374矿床铀的迁移、沉淀及成矿机理

本文从374矿床的矿物共生组合,围岩蚀变及气液包裹体成分等资料入手、应用物理化学基本理论,尝试性地探讨了成矿作用各阶段的热液活动,不同阶段中铀的迁移形式及其沉淀条件。成矿作用可分为两个阶段:第一成矿阶段,铀主要以UO_2(CO_3)_3~(4-)的形式迁移(占55％),其次是以UO_2(CO_3)_2~(2-)的形式迁移(占43％);第二成矿阶段,则有99.9％的铀是以UO_2F_4~(2-)的形式迁移。在第一阶段中,随着α_(Fe)~(2+)、α_(UO_2~(2+))增加、P_(CO_2)降低、pH值增大,铀的富集作用加强,沥青铀矿(UO_2)与赤铁矿(Fe_2O_3)共生的稳定区扩大;在第二阶段中,随着a_(Fe~(2+))、a_(Ca~(2+))及a_(UO_2~(2+))的增加,沥青铀矿不断沉淀,沥青铀矿与萤石、赤铁矿(UO_2+CaF_2+Fe_2O_3)稳定区扩大。

The terrestrial fauna of the Late Triassic Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry fissures,South Wales,UK and a new species of Clevosaurus (Lepidosauria: Rhynchocephalia)

Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry in South Wales yielded a rich cache of fossils in the early 1950s, including articulated specimens of new species (the small sauropodomorph dinosaur Pantydraco caducus and the crocodylomorph Terrestrisuchus gracilis), but no substantial study of the wider fauna of the Pant-y-ffynnon fissure systems has been published. Here, our overview of existing specimens, a few described but mostly undescribed, as well as freshly processed material, provides a comprehensive picture of the Pant-y-ffynnon palaeo-island of the Late Triassic. This was an island with a relatively impoverished fauna dominated by small clevosaurs (rhynchocephalians), including a new species, Clevosaurus cambrica, described here from a partially articulated specimen and isolated bones. The new species has a dental morphology that is intermediate between the Late Triassic Clevosaurus hudsoni, from Cromhall Quarry to the east, and the younger C. convallis from Pant Quarry to the west, suggesting adaptive radiation of clevosaurs in the palaeo-archipelago. The larger reptiles on the palaeo-island do not exceed 1.5?m in length, including a small carnivorous crocodylomorph, Terrestrisuchus, and a possible example of insular dwarfism in the basal dinosaur Pantydraco.     

Définition d'une limite multicritère ; stratigraphie du passage Campanien–Maastrichtien du site géologique de Tercis (Landes,SW France)Definition of a multi-criteria boundary; stratigraphy of the Campanian–Maastrichtian interval of the geological site at Tercis (Landes,SW France)

Lithostratigraphy, physicochemical stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, and geochronology of the 77–70 Ma old series bracketing the Campanian–Maastrichtian boundary have been investigated by 70 experts. For the first time, direct relationships between macro- and microfossils have been established, as well as direct and indirect relationships between chemo-physical and biostratigraphical tools. A combination of criteria for selecting the boundary level, duration estimates, uncertainties on durations and on the location of biohorizons have been considered; new chronostratigraphic units are proposed. The geological site at Tercis is accepted by the Commission on Stratigraphy as the international reference for the stratigraphy of the studied interval. To cite this article: G.S. Odin, C. R.

The effect of water on accessory phase solubility in subaluminous and peralkaline granitic melts

The solubilities of columbite, tantalite, wolframite, rutile, zircon and hafnon were determined as a function of the water contents in peralkaline and subaluminous granite melts. All experiments were conducted at 1035 °C and 2 kbar and the water contents of the melts ranged from nominally dry to approximately 6 wt.% H₂O. Accessory phase solubilities are not affected by the water content of the peralkaline melt. By contrast, solubilities are affected by the water content of the subaluminous melt, where the solubilities of all the accessory phases examined increase with the water content of the melt, up to 2 wt.% H₂O. At higher water contents, solubilities are nearly constant. It can be concluded that water is not an important control of accessory phase solubility, although the water content will affect diffusivities of components in the melt, thus whether or not accessory phases will be present as restite material. The solubility behaviour in the subaluminous and peralkaline melts supports previous spectroscopic studies, which have observed differences in the coordination of high field strength elements in dry vs. wet subaluminous granitic glasses, but not for peralkaline granitic glasses. Lastly, the fact that wolframite solubility increases with increasing water content in the subaluminous melt suggests that tungsten dissolved as a hexavalent species.     

Quaternary stresses revealed by calcite twinning inversion: insights from observations in the Savonnières underground quarry (eastern France)

Calcite samples were extracted both from the rock matrix and the superficial coating of a karstified fault plane of an underground quarry, located in the eastern border of the Paris basin. The karstification is dated as Quaternary. Analysis of mechanical calcite twinning reveals that only the calcite matrix has also undergone a compression trending WNW that can be attributed to the Mio-Pliocene alpine collision. Both coating and matrix have undergone a strike-slip regime with σ₁ roughly trending north–south, that could correspond to the regional present-day state of stress, a strike-slip compression rather trending NNW, modified by local phenomena.
