华北秦皇岛地区柳江盆地马家沟组碳酸盐岩多期白云化作用

华北秦皇岛地区的中奥陶统马家沟组以广泛发育海相白云质灰岩、灰质白云岩和白云岩为特征。在石门寨奥陶系亮甲山剖面,马家沟组自下而上识别出四类碳酸盐岩:含白云石泥晶灰岩（类型I）、细-粉晶白云岩（类型II）、“麦粒状”细-粉晶白云岩（类型III）和钙质泥晶白云岩（类型IV）。类型I主要由泥晶方解石构成,含三叶虫和介形类生物碎片,少量自形的粉晶白云石呈“漂浮状”分布于压溶缝合线内,基质中少见。岩相学和地球化学特征表明此类白云石形成于埋藏成岩期压溶作用之后,压溶缝为云化流体提供通道,压溶缝内泥质组分的成岩转化可能为白云化作用提供了部分镁离子来源;类型II白云岩主要由自形、半自形不等粒粉晶-细晶白云石构成,白云石普遍具有“雾心亮边”,在背散射和阴极发光照片中白云石可见清晰的多圈亮、暗相间环带。环带和带间主量元素的差异表明白云石经历了埋藏成岩期多期成岩流体的改造;类型III白云岩中白云石呈单向延伸的“米粒”或“麦粒”状,粉晶为主,晶体长轴方向具有垂直结晶轴c的特点,白云石具富铁、贫锰、锶的特点,长、短对角线上钙、镁离子的微小差异以及阴极发光特征表明此类白云石也经历了埋藏成岩期的改造,成岩流体使白云石发生微溶作用可能是导致白云石晶体单向延伸且光学性质固定取向的主要原因;类型IV为钙质泥晶球粒白云岩,含石膏假晶,白云石多为微晶和微亮晶,球粒也多由微晶白云石构成,溶孔发育,但全被亮晶贫铁方解石充填,此类岩石的白云化作用发生得很早,可能形成于潮上带澙湖或潮坪环境。综上所述,研究区马家沟组碳酸盐岩具有经历了不同类型及多期白云化作用的特点。自剖面底部向顶部,白云石的有序度由0.8降至0.47,而去云化作用则呈现逐渐增强的趋势。

鄂尔多斯盆地渭北地区上三叠统延长组长7油层组碳酸盐结核中自生碳酸盐矿物的特征

早期形成的碳酸盐结核在埋藏期间会经历多种碳酸盐矿物相沉淀的复杂胶结作用,岩石学研究是探究结核成因的关键。通过野外剖面观察、岩石学观察和阴极发光技术,分析了鄂尔多斯盆地渭北地区上三叠统延长组长7油层组泥页岩中各种形状的方解石和白云石结核中自生碳酸盐矿物的特征。这些结核为成岩早期的产物,构成结核的自生碳酸盐矿物特征显著:(1)球粒方解石结核中,方解石呈纤维状或刃片状,球粒间充填晶粒方解石或因压实呈贴面结合,纤维状方解石发桔红色和暗红色2种光,刃片状方解石发暗红色光;(2)粉晶方解石结核中,方解石呈他形粒状,含有机质包裹体或纤维状晶形残余,晶间含沥青和纤维状方解石残余,主要发暗红色光;(3)白云石结核有泥晶和粉晶2种晶体类型,粉晶白云石结核含较多泥质,泥质条带或有机质条带处常见纤柱状白云石;(4)沿裂缝充填的方解石和白云石常呈纤维状或纤柱状结构,发暗红色光或不发光。研究区长7油层组碳酸盐结核中的方解石和白云石具有不同的成因类型和复杂的胶结作用:球粒方解石和泥晶白云石代表了结核开始形成时的胶结作用,可以准确地反映结核的成因;粉晶方解石、粉晶白云石反映了交代成因;裂缝中纤维状、纤柱状方解石和白云石集合体则为结核经历了较强压实作用之后充填裂缝而成。     

湖南浏阳永和碳酸盐岩中的天青石

湖南浏阳永和天青石赋存于二叠系栖霞组,由生物屑泥灰岩或泥晶灰岩构成的灰岩瘤状体中。瘤状体中含一团或数团呈放射状类似菊花的天青石晶簇。 分析结果证实,本区天青石晶体成分纯净,仅含有少量方解石。据化学分析数据,运用氧原子法计算,其晶体化学式是（Sr 0.97600,Ba 0.0012）SO₄。 野外和镜下观察以及碳、氧同位素分析表明,菊花状天青石是在碳酸盐沉淀后,在成岩阶段,由于介质性质（Eh、pH等）的变化,原先呈分散状分布的天青石重新溶解,向弱酸性和氧逸度较高的地方聚集结晶而成。     

四川盆地东部茅口组白云岩成因: 来自岩石学、矿物学和地球化学的证据*

四川盆地中二叠统茅口组白云岩中蕴藏丰富的天然气资源,但是这套白云岩的成因多年来一直存在争议。盆地东部茅口组白云岩储集层多发育在茅三段中下部,纵向上厚度介于3.0~46.8 m之间,平面上沿北西—南东向基底断裂呈带状展布。野外和钻井岩心观察发现,白云岩内发育交织状张性裂缝,将岩石切割呈角砾状,裂缝多被粗晶方解石、白云石充填或半充填。根据围岩和裂缝中白云石晶体形貌和产出状态,在显微镜下识别出4类不同组构的白云石: 第1类为灰泥基质中“星散状”自形粉晶—细晶白云石; 第2类为半自形面状组构细晶白云石,呈他形—半自形镶嵌状; 第3类为具“雾心亮边”的自形晶面状组构细晶—粗晶白云石,具糖粒状结构,晶间孔隙发育; 第4类为脉体充填的粗晶鞍状双晶白云石。背散射照片显示前3类白云石的“雾心”部分晶面混浊、表面分布方解石残斑及微孔, 而第3类白云石的“亮边”部分与第4类鞍状粗晶白云石脉则晶体明亮、洁净、致密,属新生矿物。上述4类白云石的成分均具有富Ca和贫Fe、Mn、Sr的特点,MgO含量变化较大,其中前两类白云石MgO含量总体低于白云石标准计量,而后两类白云石的MgO含量则接近或略高于标准计量。岩石学、矿物学和地球化学特征表明:茅口组白云岩主要经历了2期白云化作用,初次白云化作用形成第1类、第2类白云石及“雾心”白云石,二次白云化作用形成“亮边”白云石和粗晶白云石脉体; 2期白云化作用均发生得很早,可能始于同沉积期至浅埋藏期。白云石原位微量元素和原位锶同位素分析表明,白云化作用流体具有混源的特点,流体可能由富Ca地下水以及与火山活动有关的热液混合而成。推测中二叠世末期峨眉山地幔柱的喷发引起四川盆地内基底断裂再次活动,造成茅口组内张性构造裂缝发育,这为白云化流体混合及运移提供了通道。

赣西湘东菊花状天青石的特征及其成因

赣西湘东地区的天青石,主要产于下二叠统由生物屑泥晶灰岩或泥灰岩构成的瘤状灰岩中,少数产于钙镁质页岩中。晶体常沿a轴或b轴延伸呈柱状,集合体在三度空间由内向外呈放射状排列,形似盛开的菊花,是一种比较少见的天青石结晶习性。本文通过沉积学、矿物学、地球化学的研究阐述了它的特征和成因,提出它是在成岩作用过程中碳酸盐灰泥中的SrSO_4围绕雏晶或胶态SiO_2核心生长而成。这种天青石的发现不仅具有矿物学和沉积学的意义,而且可作为我国华南地区沉积型海泡石的找矿标志。     

塔中Ⅰ号坡折带上奥陶统礁滩的白云石化及其储集意义

塔里木盆地塔中Ⅰ号坡折带上奥陶统良里塔格组礁滩灰岩发生了少量白云石化作用。白云石化主要发育在溶洞充填的钙质渗流粉砂,泥晶生物碎屑灰岩的泥晶基质,亮晶颗粒灰岩的钙藻屑、藻砂屑、藻泥屑等三种组构中。白云石化直接贡献了平均1%的孔隙度,同时产生的白云石晶间孔为进一步溶蚀提供了通道,对有效储层的形成起到了重要作用。高镁方解石生物是白云石化所需镁离子的重要来源。这套与生物白云石化相关的礁滩储层地质预测需要深入研究钙藻、海百合等生物的古生态、岩相环境及分布。     

盐酸及乙酸介质中的碳酸盐岩溶蚀表面特征及机理——以南堡凹陷为例

为了研究酸性条件下碳酸盐岩的溶蚀表面特征及机理,以南堡凹陷及周边凸起区10个典型碳酸盐岩样品为研究对象,进行乙酸和盐酸溶液的溶解实验,并通过扫描电镜观察样品的溶蚀特征。结果显示,岩石结构和矿物成分的选择性溶蚀,是碳酸盐岩溶蚀过程中的主要作用形式;方解石和白云石均存在特有的溶蚀现象,即"溶蚀晶锥"方解石和"蜂窝状"白云石,为晶体选择性溶蚀的产物;表生条件下,灰岩中少量白云石的加入能够增加方解石的溶解度,白云石的含量上限为13%,超过该界限,随白云石含量的增加,溶蚀作用减弱。     

从表生到深埋藏环境下有机酸对碳酸盐岩溶蚀的实验模拟

通过细粉晶白云岩、泥晶灰岩、泥灰岩和含生屑泥晶灰岩与2 ml/L乙酸溶液的溶解动力学实验,研究了从表生到深埋藏环境下有机酸对碳酸盐岩储层的改造作用机理。结果显示,四种类型碳酸盐岩的溶解速率在3.34×10–9~2.27×10–8 mol/(cm2·s)之间,并且溶解速率随埋藏深度(地层温度和地层压力)的增加而增大。从表生到中埋藏环境下,泥晶灰岩、泥灰岩和含生屑泥晶灰岩的溶解速率大于细粉晶白云岩;在深埋藏环境下,细粉晶白云岩的溶解速率逐渐与泥晶灰岩、泥灰岩和含生屑泥晶灰岩的一致,这揭示出在相对高温高压下,埋藏有机酸性流体对碳酸盐岩的溶蚀改造作用中,碳酸盐岩的溶蚀速率与其方解石和白云石含量的关系并不大。反应前后样品表面的扫描电子显微镜分析结果表明,细粉晶白云岩的晶间溶孔、晶内溶孔更加发育。细粉晶白云岩中白云石溶解成蜂窝状溶解孔,晶间缝溶蚀加大且相互连通,这种微观溶蚀特征更有利于油、气的储集及运移。结合岩石的溶蚀速率及其微观溶蚀演化特征,指出碳酸盐岩矿物成分和含量固然对其溶蚀作用具有控制影响,但是碳酸盐岩溶蚀形成的孔隙类型及其连通性能与碳酸盐岩有利储层形成的关系更为密切。     

A model for the distribution of trace elements between calcite and dolomite

A crystal-growth model is proposed, which allows ions of a trace element to enter the Ca and Mg sites of dolomite in proportion to the size of the ions relative to that of Ca and Mg ions, and which assigns equal portions of the trace element to the Ca site of dolomite and the Ca site of associated calcite. The model produces calcite/dolomite distribution coefficients of 0.79 for Mn and 0.43 for Fe, which may be compared with 0.85 and 0.28 as observed in marble, and a distribution coefficient of 2.0 for Sr and Ba, which may be compared with observed values of 2.3 for Sr and 1.8 for Ba.     

Graphite deformation in marble and mylonitic marble, Grenville Province, Canadian Shield

In the southern Grenville Province of the Canadian Shield (Otter Lake area), high-grade marble, gneiss and amphibolite have been folded about north- to north-east-trending axes; mylonite zones, parallel to layering and 0.1–10  cm wide, are locally present in marble.
In nonmylonitic marble, graphite occurs as c . 1–mm hexagonal prisms, which are commonly accompanied by a relatively few crystals that have been deformed, resulting in cleavage separation and the formation of folds and kink bands. Fracture-filled calcite contains less Mg and Fe than surrounding calcite (e.g. <0.30 compared with 1.8–2.7  wt% MgO, and 0.02–0.12 compared with 0.13–0.18  wt% FeO); the composition of fracture-filled dolomite is similar to that of the surrounding dolomite. In semimylonite, graphite forms elongate streaks of fragmented crystals and, in mylonite, further fragmentation has occurred to produce extremely small particles. The fragmentation has not destroyed the atomic structure (hexagonal modification) of graphite.
The behaviour of biotite was similar to that of graphite, but extreme fragmentation did not occur. Dolomite was more rigid than calcite, and in mylonite it occurs more commonly as relics. Amphibole and pyroxene crystals remained undeformed but are locally replaced by calcite.
The numerous microprocesses that have evidently occurred in marble and mylonitic marble of the study area are: coarsening (calcite, graphite), twinning (calcite, dolomite), slip (calcite, dolomite, graphite, biotite), strain-induced recrystallization (calcite), microfolding and kink-band formation (graphite, biotite), fragmentation (graphite) and the pressure-induced transport of calcite and dolomite to voids in graphite and biotite.     

酒西盆地碎屑岩胶结物的形成问题

酒西盆地下白垩统陆相碎屑岩胶结物的形成关系到油气储集的重要问题,富铁的洪积扇沉积体系和非富铁的河流一湖泊沉积体系形成两种不同的胶结物组合类型,平面上可分为三带胶结物:混合胶结带、铁镁胶结带和浓聚成岩带。盆地边缘带是以铁、泥、钙为主的混合胶结物,中间为以碳酸铁镁矿物的白云石、铁白云石为主的胶结物,盆中带形成胶结物的浓聚成岩层,事实证明过渡的铁镁胶结带是最富于聚集油气的地带。本文还在纵向上探讨了泥质粘土矿物和碳酸盐胶结物的成岩变化。     

Microtexture of dolomite within exsolved magnesian calcite — examples from the Damara orogen (Namibia)

Exsolved magnesian calcite grains containing rods of dolomite were etched to remove the calcite matrix and investigated with a scanning electron microscope. The rods were found to be composed of small rhombohedral dolomite crystals. The single rhombohedrons are stacked with the threefold axis subparallel in all rods of the exsolved host crystal. The curvature of exsolution rods in the host is due to a step by step displacement of the single rhombohedrons.     

The partitioning of Fe and Mg between olivine and carbonate and the stability of carbonate under mantle conditions

We have investigated the effect of Fe on the stabilities of carbonate (carb) in lherzolite assemblages by determining the partitioning of Fe and Mg between silicate (olivine; ol) and carbonates (magnesite, dolomite, magnesian calcite) at high pressures and temperatures. Fe enters olivine preferentially relative to magnesite and ordered dolomite, but Fe and Mg partition almost equally between disordered calcic carbonate and olivine. Measurement of K _d (X _Fe ^carb X _Mg ^ol /X _Fe ^ol X _Mg ^carb ) as a function of Fe/ Mg ratio indicates that Fe–Mg carbonates deviate only slightly from ideality. Using the regular solution parameter for olivine W _FeMg ^ol of 3.7±0.8 kJ/mol (Wiser and Wood 1991) we obtain for (FeMg)CO₃ a W _FeMg ^carb of 3.05±1.50 kJ/mol. The effect of Ca–Mg–Fe disordering is to raise K _d substantially enabling us to calculate W _CaMg ^carb -W _CaFe ^carb of 5.3±2.2 kJ/mol. The activity-composition relationships and partitioning data have been used to calculate the effect of Fe/Mg ratio on mantle decarbonation and exchange reactions. We find that carbonate (dolomite and magnesian calcite) is stable to slightly lower pressures (by 1 kbar) in mantle lherzolitic assemblages than in the CaO–MgO–SiO₂(CMS)–CO₂ system. The high pressure breakdown of dolomite + orthopyroxene to magnesite + clinopyroxene is displaced to higher pressures (by 2 kbar) in natural compositions relative to CMS. CO₂. We also find a stability field of magnesian calcite in lherzolite at 15–25 kbar and 750–1000°C.     

Dolomite-calcite textures in early carbonatites of the Kovdor ore deposit,Kola peninsula,Russia: their genesis and application for calcite-dolomite geothermometry

In early calcite carbonatites of the Kovdor ore deposit four morphological types of dolomite are represented. In the first type, dolomite microcrystals occur as lamellae enclosed by optically continuous calcite. In the second, dolomite microcrystals occur as segmented rods, plates and xenomorphic grains, enclosed by optically discontinuous calcite, and in the third, dolomite is represented by grains of various morphologies, situated along calcite grain boundaries. The fourth type of dolomite occurs as a fine-grained aggregate, which develops along grain boundaries and cleavage cracks of calcite. From microscopic, scanning electron microscope and microprobe studies of these different types of dolomite microcrystals, as well as the calcite associated with them, it can be concluded that the first type of dolomite was exsolved from magnesian calcite during cooling. The second, and the third types of dolomite microcrystals were formed by recrystallization. The fourth type of dolomite was formed by metasomatic dolomitization. As the result of these two processes-recrystallization and metasomatic dolomitization-early dolomite microcrystals seldom occur. The composition of the early-formed primary magnesian calcite yielded temperatures of exsolution of dolomite from magnesian calcite between 665 and 700°C.     

Diagenetic development of a Precambrian limestone as interpreted from a modern analogue

A strong correlation in the geometry and mineralogy of two cement generations of a Quaternary with a Precambrian calcarenite enables us to reconstruct the diagenetic history of the Precambrian limestone. Both calcarenites contain two cement generations (A and B) of which A consists of dolomite, B of calcite. The following diagenetic stages can be recognized: after deposition of the allochems in a shallow marine environment, cementation in the intertidal zone with magnesian calcite (cement A) led to the formation of beachrock (Stage 1). By lowering of the sea level, the beach rock was shifted into the supratidal zone, but still remained under the predominant influence of the sea water (breakers, spray). During longer periods of aridity, the magnesian calcite of cement A and of the allochems was transformed into dolomite by brines derived from sea water with very high Mg/Ca ratio (> 15), whereas aragonite and calcite remained unaffected. After further lowering of the sea, an increasing influence of meteoric water caused the wet transformation of aragonitic allochems to sparry calcite and to the precipitation of sparry calcitic cement B.     

Chabazite in spodumene-bearing Alpine-type fissure veins from Hiddenite, North Carolina, USA

Alpine-type fissure vein mineralization in the Hiddenite area of western North Carolina, USA consists mostly of quartz, but locally contains Cr-bearing beryl (emerald) or Cr-bearing spodumene (hiddenite). These gem minerals occur in mineral-lined cavities and may be accompanied by euhedral crystals of quartz, calcite, muscovite, rutile, albite, pyrite, siderite and dolomite. Chabazite-Ca occurs as a late stage phase in spodumene-bearing veins, but is absent in emerald-bearing veins. Chabazite-Ca occurs as simple penetrating twins of pseudocubic rhombohedra and as the lens-shaped variety, phacolite. Chabazite-Ca from Hiddenite contains minor amounts of Na, Mg, Fe and K. Phacolitic chabazite-Ca shows Fe-enriched but Mg-depleted cores relative to the rims. Chemical zoning is absent in rhombohedral chabazite. The Hiddenite chabazite apparently precipitated under low temperature (< 250°C) and low pressure (< 2 kbar) conditions during the waning stages of crystallization of an alkaline hydrothermal fluid.     

Metamorphic temperature determined by means of the dolomite-calcite solvus geothermometer-examples from the central Damara Orogen (South West Africa)

Using a marble sample from the central Damara Orogen (South West Africa) the determination of the temperature of metamorphism was undertaken with the help of the dolomite-calcite solvus geothermometer for unmixed magnesian calcite crystals. There is good agreement between the results obtained by electron microprobe analysis and by point count analysis of the surface area of exsolved dolomite grains in magnesian calcite. Accordingly, the temperature reached during metamorphism of the investigated marble occurence, based on the dolomite-calcite solvus determination of Goldsmith and Newton (1969), was 620 ° C.     

The dolomitization of CaCO3: an experimental study at 252–295°C

The results of experiments on the hydrothermal dolomitization of calcite (between 252 and 295°C) and aragonite (at 252°C) by a 2 M CaCl₂-MgCl₂ aqueous solution are reported and discussed. Dolomitization of calcite proceeds via an intermediate high (ca. 35 mole %) magnesian calcite, whereas that of aragonite is carried out through the conversion of the reactant into a low (5.6 mole %) magnesian calcite which in turn transforms into a high (39.6 mole %) magnesian calcite. Both the intermediate phases and dolomite crystallize through a dissolution-precipitation reaction. The intermediate phases form under local equilibrium within a reaction zone surrounding the dissolving reactant grains. The volume of the reaction zone solution can be estimated from Sr²⁺ and Mg²⁺ partitioning equations. In the case of low magnesian calcite growing at the expense of aragonite at 252°C, the total volume of these zones is in the range of 2 × 10^?5 to 2 × 10^?4 1., out of 5 × 10^?3 1., the volume of the bulk solution.The apparent activation energies for the initial crystallization of high magnesian calcite and dolomite are 48 and 49 kcal/mole, respectively.Calcite transforms completely into dolomite within 100 hr at 252°C. The overall reaction time is reduced to approximately 4 hr at 295°C. The transformation of aragonite to dolomite at 252°C occurs within 24 hr. The nature of the reactant dictates the relative rates of crystallization of the intermediate phases and dolomite. With calcite as reactant, dolomite growth is faster than that of magnesian calcite; this situation is reversed when aragonite is dolomitized.Coprecipitation of Sr²⁺ with dolomite is independent of temperature (within analytical error) between 252 and 295°C. Its partitioning, with respect to calcium, between dolomite and solution results in distribution coefficients in the range of 2.31 × 10^?2 to 2.78 × 10^?2.
