西藏吉瓦地区渐新统日贡拉组物源分析及找矿意义

通过详实的野外调查和室内研究,在西藏吉瓦地区新发现了砂岩型铜矿床,赋矿层位为渐新统日贡拉组,矿床类型为层控矿床。为探讨日贡拉组砂岩的物源特征及其构造背景、查明其含矿物质来源,通过碎屑矿物定量分析、元素地球化学方法及重矿物组合分析等一系列物源分析方法对日贡拉组的物质来源进行了研究。结果显示,研究区主要岩性为岩屑砂岩,岩屑主要成分为酸性火山岩,砂岩结构成熟度低,分选磨圆差。碎屑组分分析表明物源集中在火山弧物源区,地球化学特征为硅质含量高、LREE富集、HREE相对亏损、显示Eu负异常,均表明物源与酸性火山岩密切相关;日贡拉组砂岩的大地构造背景主要为大陆岛弧,砂岩碎屑来自上地壳长英质源区。重矿物组合以反映物源为中酸性岩浆岩成分的赤褐铁矿+磁铁矿、锆石、电气石、石榴子石为主,沉积环境为气候干旱、水体较浅的富氧环境。锆石形态特征指示物源距母岩区较近,重矿物的相关性分析也指示了物源与火山岩密切相关。研究区的日贡拉组砂岩与早白垩酸性火山岩微量元素及重矿物的对比表明,碎屑物质源区特点从岩石学特征、地球化学特征及重矿物组合特征上均表现出了亲缘关系,物源成分与火山作用紧密相关,很可能主要来自班公湖-怒江洋壳南向俯冲与雅鲁藏布江洋壳北向俯冲双重制约条件下产生于火山弧环境中的早白垩世火山岩。日贡拉组发现了砂岩型铜矿,火山岩提供了成矿物质来源,为寻找同类型的矿床开启思路。

西藏南部侏罗纪—古近纪砂岩重矿物分析：探讨岩浆弧与大陆地块物源差异性

物源分析是古地理重建与盆地分析的关键,典型的物源区包括岩浆弧、大陆地块、再旋回造山带等。重矿物种类多样,蕴含丰富的母岩信息,是物源分析的重要对象。现代砂的研究表明,不同大地构造背景下形成的沉积物具有不同的重矿物组合。遗憾的是,由于古代沉积的重矿物组合在成岩过程中会被改造,现代砂的重矿物组合与物源区的耦合规律并不能直接应用于古代砂岩。科学界尚不清楚岩浆弧与大陆地块来源的古代砂岩的重矿物特征。西藏日喀则弧前盆地与特提斯喜马拉雅侏罗纪—古近纪砂岩物源明确,要么来自亚洲大陆的冈底斯弧,要么来自印度大陆地块,是探讨岩浆弧与大陆地块来源的古代砂岩重矿物特征的绝佳场所。16件砂岩重矿物定量分析结果表明,两个物源区来源的砂岩重矿物组合均被成岩作用严重改造,辉石、角闪石等不稳定矿物消失,绿帘石等自生矿物出现;冈底斯弧来源的砂岩以出现大量绿帘石或磷灰石为特征,ZTR指数小于40;印度大陆地块来源的砂岩以出现大量锆石、电气石和金红石为特征,ZTR指数大于75。这一结果指示岩浆弧与大陆地块来源的砂岩的重矿物组合具有明显差异性,可以用来探讨物源的大地构造背景。     

金矿自然重砂矿物组合规律及其找矿指示意义

对云南、海南、江西、湖北、河南、新疆、浙江、山东、辽宁等27个省185个典型金矿床的自然重砂矿物进行统计分析,发现自然重砂矿物对金矿具有良好的响应,自然金、黄铁矿、方铅矿、黄铜矿、白铅矿、辰砂等对寻找金矿具有指示意义。不同成因类型的金矿床反映出的自然重砂矿物组合不同,斑岩型金矿床的标型指示矿物组合为自然金+黄铁矿+方铅矿+重晶石+闪锌矿+白铅矿+金红石,卡林型—类卡林型金矿床的标型指示矿物组合为自然金+黄铁矿+方铅矿+辉锑矿+毒砂+雄(雌)黄,而造山型+矽卡岩型+热液型+构造蚀变岩型金矿床的标型指示矿物组合为自然金+黄铁矿+方铅矿+辰砂。不同区域的金矿床反映出的自然重砂矿物组合也各有差异,闪锌矿为南方各省金矿床的特征矿物,辰砂和白钨矿为北方地区金矿床的特征矿物,重晶石和白铅矿为西部地区金矿的特征矿物。综合研究认为,自然重砂具有直接找矿和指导找矿的作用,按照特定成因类型和区域金矿床所建立的自然重砂矿物组合对建立矿床找矿模型具有重要的意义。     

砂岩中重矿物的成因意义

砂岩形成过程中,不同的物源区、构造演化、风化剥蚀、古地貌与古气候以及古环境等多种因素都会影响其重矿物的分布,因此,研究砂岩中重矿物的分布特征,对于物源、构造演化和沉积环境的分析有着重大的意义。通过查阅文献和资料整理等方法,笔者对砂岩中重矿物组合特征、分布规律、重矿物特征指数、物化性质、含量变化等在物源分析、构造演化响应、指示沉积环境等方面的研究意义进行了综述和整理。笔者认为:复杂地质工作中,砂岩沉积物分析研究应结合其重矿物成因意义,进行总体评价和综合研究,将会得到更接近地质事实的结论。如物源分析方面除了综合考虑重矿物特征以及重矿物特征指数外,还应运用判别图解;重矿物信息的综合分析研究是反演盆地的构造活动是一种非常有效的手段;砂岩中重矿物的组合特征、分布规律和物化性质等可为反演其沉积环境提供有效的依据。

上扬子会泽地区晚三叠世须家河组砂岩物源特征:基于重矿物分析和碎屑锆石U-Pb测年

上扬子会泽地区晚三叠世须家河组主要由辫状河-浅湖的砂岩和泥岩组成,交错层理校正恢复的物源主要来自东南方向。碎屑重矿物钛铁矿、锐钛矿、铬尖晶石和磁铁矿组合表明物源主要来自岩浆岩,部分为基性岩,且重矿物中发现大量碎屑电气石和锆石。运用电子探针成分分析和碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb测年方法,分别对须家河组砂岩中电气石和碎屑锆石进行测试分析。电气石化学成分显示主要为镁电气石和黑电气石,来自变质板岩和变质砂岩以及贫锂花岗岩类、伟晶岩和细晶岩。砂岩碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱分析表明,须家河组的物源主要来自257~362 Ma、420~492 Ma、782~876 Ma和1 690~2 176 Ma岩石。物源方向、重矿物以及电气石和碎屑锆石综合分析表明,须家河组物源主要来自滇黔桂古陆。其中,257~362 Ma的物源岩石主要为峨眉山玄武岩同期侵入岩;420~492 Ma来自东南源岩为花岗岩和砂岩,782~876 Ma主要为研究区周缘同期的花岗岩和砂岩,1 690~2 176 Ma物源也是源岩为岩浆岩的砂岩。与飞仙关组物源对比,须家河组物源区明显不同,可能与区域构造运动有关。同时,碎屑锆石指示古元古代发育岩浆作用,且存在古老的新太古代结晶基底。这些资料为上扬子构造演化提供了沉积学证据。     

鄂尔多斯盆地北部直罗组砂岩重矿物分布特征及其指示意义

近年来,鄂尔多斯盆地砂岩型铀矿资源评价取得了较大进展,关于找矿目的层物源和铀源的问题长期以来备受关注。运用重矿物综合分析方法,探讨鄂尔多斯盆地北部砂岩型铀矿赋矿层直罗组碎屑物质来源和成矿铀源。结果表明,研究区内直罗组的重矿物组合主要为石榴子石+锆石+绿帘石+黑云母+尖晶石,其次包含少量磷灰石、榍石、金红石、角闪石、电气石、钛铁矿等,反映以中高级变质岩和中酸性岩浆岩为主的母岩类型。重矿物特征指数反映了以含石榴子石变质岩为主要源岩类型和近源沉积的特点。综合分析认为,区内直罗组主要的物源为盆地北部大青山和乌拉山地区的中下太古界–元古界的乌拉山岩群、中元古界扎尔泰群以及各时期的中酸性侵入体等。其中,古老基底变质岩与各时期中酸性岩浆岩普遍具有较高的铀含量,沿着NW–SE方向铀迁出明显,为后期铀成矿作用提供了初始铀源。      

松辽盆地南部钱家店铀矿床姚家组砂岩地球化学特征及地质意义

沉积物的地球化学成分在沉积岩物源分析及构造背景的研究中具有重要的作用.对研究区4口钻孔中的姚家组砂岩进行了详细的岩石学和地球化学研究,结果显示,砂岩碎屑颗粒石英含量最高,长石次之,岩屑含量最低,平均值分别为42%、37%和21%,具有锆石+钛磁铁矿+石榴子石的重矿物组合,反映源岩以酸性岩浆岩或变质岩为主,Dickinson判别图解表明物源主要来自于大陆物源区;姚家组砂岩的稀土元素以轻稀土富集、重稀土平坦、中度铕负异常为特征.砂岩CIA值为52.02~60.16,平均值为56.69,反映了干燥气候背景下弱的化学风化作用.源岩属性判别图解表明源岩为再旋回的古老沉积物及长英质火山岩.主量、微量和稀土元素的构造背景判别图解综合表明姚家组砂岩物源区为被动大陆边缘构造环境,结合区域构造演化,认为姚家组砂岩的物源为华北克拉通北缘燕山陆内造山带发育的火山-沉积岩系.      

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.     

Late Wuchiapingian (Late Dzhulfian,early Late Permian) limestone olistolites within the Tertiary flysch of Glypia Unit (Mount Parnon,central–eastern Peloponnesus,Greece)

Some olistolites reworked in a Tertiary flysch of Mount Parnon (Peloponnesus, Greece) exhibit a Late Permian assemblage, dominated by Paradunbarula (Shindella) shindensis, Hemigordiopsis cf. luquensis and Colaniella aff. minima. This association corresponds to the Late Wuchiapingian (=Late Dzhulfian), a substage whose algae and foraminifera are generally little known. Contemporaneous limestones crop out in the middle part of the Episkopi Formation in Hydra, but they are rather commonly reworked in Mesozoic and Cainozoic sequences. The palaeobiogeographical affinities shared by the foraminiferal markers of Greece, southeastern Pamir, and southern China, are very strong (up to the specific level), and are congruent with the Pangea B reconstructions.
