1∶5万区域地质调查中，通过对出露于中祁连北缘中段的一套中深变质岩系研究，将在具有麻粒岩相－高角闪岩相，中、深构造变形，时代为古元古代的变质岩组合划归为托赖岩群。它是中祁连山地块由中地壳下部－下地壳上部物质组成的残留体，在其长期的构造就位过程中经历了不同构造层次变质变形改造，具有不同的地质面貌。     

"罗田穹隆"中的下地壳俯冲成因榴辉岩及其地质意义

在“罗田穹隆”中发现了下地壳俯冲成因榴辉岩．榴辉岩呈透镜状或板状产于含石榴子石条带状片麻岩中．新鲜的榴辉岩主要由石榴子石、绿辉石、金红石等组成．含少量退变质的角闪石、斜长石、紫苏辉石、透辉石、(钛)磁铁矿和石英等．研究区榴辉岩以保留早期麻粒岩相变质矿物残留体以及经受晚期麻粒岩相和角闪岩相退变为特征．指示它们由扬子镁铁质下地壳麻粒岩相岩石俯冲到深部发生变质并形成榴辉岩．然后折返至下地壳发生麻粒岩相退变，由于麻粒岩相退变质阶段仅以后成合晶形式出现．因而它们可能在下地壳停留时间不长．就又进一步被构造抬升至中上地壳而发生角闪岩相退变．大别山造山带乃至扬子板块北缘现今缺乏厚层镁铁质下地壳．它们也很少出露地表．推测这些俯冲的镁铁质下地壳可能已拆离再循环进人地幔．从而为“罗田穹隆”的形成和演化以及大别山高压-超高压岩石的形成与折返机制等研究提供了关键性的岩石学证据。     

新疆北山盐滩断裂南一带高级变质岩系的发现、地质热力学特征及其大地构造意义

新疆北山盐滩断裂南一带从原划奥陶-志留系地层中解体出古老的角闪岩相-麻粒岩相变质岩和变质侵入岩体,主要岩性为黑云母斜长片麻岩、条带状混合岩、斜长角闪岩、及少量变粒岩、麻粒岩等。其中首次发现了代表中、下地壳深变质作用的中-高压基性麻粒岩。详细的野外调查、岩相学及矿物学研究表明,该基性麻粒岩主要由透辉石、紫苏辉石、褐色普通角闪石及拉长石组成。其演化经历了由麻粒岩相岩石经退变质反应而成为角闪岩相变质岩的过程。研究表明,该区麻粒岩中的单斜辉石及角闪石矿物学成因均属于变质成因,其中单斜辉石形成环境为高压型,而角闪石形成环境为中低压环境。麻粒岩相变质岩形成于约1.25GPa(42km埋深)以下的中高压-高压环境,其形成温度约841℃;而退变质作用下的角闪岩相变质岩应形成于650~657℃的温度范围之内,压力为0.460~0.495GPa之间,相应的代表埋深约为16.5km的中低压型环境。该区高级变质岩及其基性麻粒岩的发现,将对该区地壳成分、麻粒岩的成因与变质作用以及所处的大地构造背景演化等研究无疑将起到非常重要的作用。     

太古宙克拉通型下地壳剖面：华北怀安－丰镇－尚义的麻粒岩－角闪岩系

华北克拉通北缘晋冀内蒙交界地区有变质程度连续变化、从高压基性麻粒岩、麻粒岩到角闪岩相的变质岩系出露。它们的古变质压力由＞１．４ＧＰａ（５０ｋｍ）变化到０．５ＧＰａ（１５ｋｍ）；岩石类型从变辉长岩、中酸性正片麻岩到表壳岩变化；变质矿物组合由不含水的耐火组合变为富含云母和角闪石的组合；地球化学性质表现出从贫Ｓｉ和Ａｌ、轻度亏损生热元素到具有正常的化学成分的连续变化；包裹体流体性质在轻度亏损生热元素的麻粒岩中均为ＣＯ２流体，而在麻粒岩相的表壳岩和角闪岩系中Ｈ２Ｏ流体逐渐增加。上述变质岩系剖面的组成和特点符合大陆下地壳的定义，可能代表了包括最下部地壳在内的华北地块太古宙克拉通型大陆下地壳。据此本文建立了我国第一条克拉通型大陆下地壳剖面，并讨论其地质意义以及相关的问题     

麻粒岩相变质作用的PTt演化及其地质动力学意义

麻粒岩地体和基性火山岩中的麻粒岩包体是研究过去和现在下部地壳的窗口,通过它们的研究可了解下地壳的物质组成,物理和化学状态,构造变形,岩浆作用和变质作用的特征,并进而探讨大陆地壳形成和改造的地质动力学机制。当前研究中涉及许多重要问题,如麻粒岩相变质作用的PTt演化和成因模式及其构造环境、变质流体的含量、成分和作用,岩浆作用的性质和机制及其对麻粒岩相变质作用的贡献,构造变形作用的样式及其所反映的构造体制,麻粒岩中LILE亏损等地球化学特征的成因意义等等。这些问题互相联系,都是麻粒岩地体成因的约束条件。本文将讨论麻粒岩相变质作用的PTt演化特征,阐述大地构造环境和地质动力学机制对其所起的约束作用。     

冈底斯岩浆弧东段沉积岩的晚白垩世变质作用及其构造意义

位于青藏高原南部的冈底斯岩浆弧形成于中生代新特提斯洋俯冲过程中,并在印度与欧亚大陆碰撞过程中叠加了新生代岩浆作用和变质作用。冈底斯岩浆弧东段出露的中、新生代变质岩是研究其深部组成与形成演化的理想窗口。本文对冈底斯东段米林田兴村地区的变沉积岩,即石榴夕线黑云片岩、含石榴钙硅酸盐岩、黑云斜长片麻岩和大理岩进行了岩石学和锆石U-Pb年代学研究。研究结果表明,石榴夕线黑云片岩由夕线石、黑云母、石榴石、斜长石、钾长石、石英和钛铁矿组成,经历了中压麻粒岩相变质作用,变质条件为810~820℃和6.4~7.8kbar。锆石年代学研究表明,石榴夕线黑云片岩、含石榴钙硅酸盐岩和大理岩经历了87~83Ma的变质作用。本文和现有研究表明,冈底斯弧东段林芝和米林地区的高压麻粒岩相变质岩分布区代表该岩浆弧的下地壳,而包括本文研究点在内的中压麻粒岩相到角闪岩相变质岩分布区为其中地壳组成部分。本文认为晚白垩世大体积幔源岩浆的注入和随后的新特提斯大洋岩石圈平俯冲,导致了冈底斯岩浆弧地壳的生长、加厚和底冲,使上地壳的沉积岩和岩浆岩运移到中-下地壳,并经历了高温变质与部分熔融,形成了分布在上地壳的花岗岩。这表明岩浆弧的新生地壳在晚白垩世新特提斯洋俯冲过程中发生了再造。以长英质岩石为主的表壳岩进入深地壳很可能是岩浆弧中-下地壳由基性转变成中性成分的重要方式。     

徐淮地区中生代侵入杂岩中角闪岩和片麻岩类捕虏体的岩石学和地球化学:对深部地壳物质组成的制约

徐淮地区中生代侵入杂岩中角闪岩和片麻岩类捕虏体的主要元素、微量元素地球化学特征及其岩相学的研究表明,它们经历了两期变质作用的改造,即早期的榴辉岩相变质和晚期的角闪岩相退化变质。其原岩为拉斑玄武质岩石,在其形成过程中有较强的陆壳物质混染;部分捕虏体可能代表了本区深部地壳的物质组成,且具有华北地块基底的性质。中生代早期该区上地幔是多种岩石构成的构造混杂岩带,深部地壳主要由片麻岩类、角闪岩类和少量石榴辉石岩类组成。早白垩世时期深部地壳主要由一套快速折返至下地壳的榴辉岩相变质岩石所构成,它们普遍发生了角闪岩相退化变质,并与原下部地壳的深变质岩(片麻岩和角闪岩)混杂在一起,构成了一个构造混杂体。     

麻粒岩相带变质作用

1 概述麻粒岩是前寒武纪麻粒岩相带的重要岩石组成。麻粒岩相带是地壳地质演化重大转变的一种标志。麻粒岩的研究对探索早期地球形成历史以及下地壳的特征具有重要意义。“麻粒岩”一词是变质岩名称;“麻粒岩相”指的是高级变质程度;而“麻粒岩区、麻粒岩相带、麻粒岩地体、高级区、麻粒岩—片麻岩区”等则是反映了大地构造特征的一些综合性术语。在阅读文献时,有时出于省略仅用麻粒岩一词表示,则要分辨是指岩石、变质相,还是大地构造单元,以免弄混。     

东南极格罗夫山泛非期麻粒岩相变质作用

东南极格罗夫山主要由麻粒岩相高级变质岩和花岗岩类组成，其中变质岩以浅色和暗色含斜方辉石长英质片麻岩占主导地位，夹有少量镁铁质麻粒岩、变沉积岩和含方柱石钙硅酸盐岩。这些岩石一般都展示了平衡的矿物共生结构，但在镁铁质麻粒岩的单斜辉石中普遍发育斜方辉石(易变辉石)的出溶片晶。根据出溶辉石的重组分析获得麻粒岩相变质作用的峰期温度约为850℃，而浅色片麻岩中的石榴子石—斜方辉石—斜长石—石英组合给出的变质压力为0．61～0．67GPa。镁铁质麻粒岩中火成亚钙质普通辉石斑晶的保存表明格罗夫山地区可能只发育单一的泛非期高温麻粒岩相变质事件，岩石在高温变质之后经历了缓慢冷却过程，这主要归因于花岗质岩浆的板底垫托作用。     

内蒙古喀喇沁地区早中生代闪长岩中麻粒岩捕虏体矿物化学及变质温压条件

在内蒙古东部喀喇沁地区早中生代大营子闪长岩中首次发现基性麻粒岩捕虏体.初步研究表明它们不同于华北克拉通地表出露的前寒武纪麻粒岩.根据其主要造岩矿物斜方辉石、单斜辉石、黑云母及斜长石的电子探针分析结果, 重点研究了各主要造岩矿物的化学成分特点, 并讨论了麻粒岩捕虏体的变质作用温压条件.研究结果表明, 捕虏体岩石的变质作用已达麻粒岩相, 其变质作用条件约为850~900 ℃, 0.6~1.0 GPa.这些麻粒岩捕虏体反映了研究区早中生代下地壳的组成特点, 为恢复该区早中生代深部地壳结构提供了依据.      

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.
