西藏雄巴地区中新世雄巴组砂岩地球化学特征及对物源区、构造背景的指示

雄巴地区位于阿尔卑斯-喜马拉雅构造-火山成矿带冈底斯硼矿成矿远景区,中新世经喜山运动二幕形成杂色火山岩和碎屑沉积岩交互的一套地层。本文对雄巴地区雄巴组碎屑岩元素地球化学特征进行研究。研究发现,雄巴地区雄巴组碎屑岩碎屑颗粒呈棱角、次棱角状,具有近源沉积特征。碎屑砂岩具有中等SiO_2、K_2O,高Na_2O,低TFe_2O_3、MgO的特点,说明源岩主要为长英质岩石。样品化学蚀变指数(CIA)平均为57.41,化学风化指数(CIW)平均为66.81,中等偏高,表明源区源岩经历了低-中等程度的风化。稀土元素配分图及痕量元素蛛网图显示轻稀土富集、重稀土亏损,轻重稀土分馏明显,负Eu异常[(La/Sm)N平均为4.28、(La/Yb)N平均为27.30、∑LREE/∑HREE平均为8.25、(Gd/Yb)N平均为2.89、Eu/Eu*平均值为0.69]。研究区沉积构造背景为活动大陆边缘,偶有样品偏向岛弧环境和被动大陆边缘;主要物源为上地壳英安岩型、长英质火成物源区,有极少安山质岩石和古老上地壳物质混入。根据雄巴地区区域地质背景资料,结合前人研究成果,本论文认为雄巴组碎屑砂岩原始物源区主要是雄巴盆地西北方向的火山机构分布带,同时论证了研究区中新世所经历的构造-火山-沉积环境特点,综合信息显示研究区是有利硼矿成矿远景区。     

新疆塔县达布达尔地区二叠系神仙湾组杂砂岩沉积构造背景分析

新疆塔县达布达尔地区二叠系神仙湾组位于塔阿西构造混杂岩带南侧,总体为一套深海复理石建造,主要以杂砂岩为主。源区岩石没有经过充分的搬运、分选,成熟度比较低。杂砂岩的稀土元素特征表现为轻稀土元素富集和Eu亏损明显的特征,与典型的后太古宙页岩和上地壳非常相似。微量元素含量也接近于大陆上地壳值,说明杂砂岩中的物源来自上地壳。沉积环境分析表明,杂砂岩母岩原岩为大量长英质火成物质和少量沉积物,其形成于深海厌氧环境。大地构造背景分析表明,杂砂岩物源区的构造背景以大陆岛弧为主,兼具活动大陆边缘的性质。结合区域地质构造背景,认为下-中二叠统神仙湾组为裂陷盆地沉积。     

松辽盆地白垩系泉头组碎屑沉积岩岩石地球化学特征及其地质意义

松辽盆地庆安地区白垩系泉头组碎屑沉积岩主要由砂岩、泥岩和粉砂岩类组成。通过对白垩系泉头组碎屑沉积岩岩石样品的岩石化学分析表明 :主元素化学分类结果主要为长石砂岩、页岩 ,少量岩屑砂岩和硬砂岩 ;稀土元素分布模式显示其明显富集轻稀土及Eu负异常 ,并与NASC和PAAS稀土分布模式相似 ;碎屑沉积岩与上地壳的微量元素含量比值曲线显示为平坦型 ,这说明沉积岩是在活动性较弱的构造背景下缓慢沉积 ,具有被动大陆边缘和活动大陆边缘沉积物的特点。松辽盆地庆安地区白垩系泉头组碎屑沉积岩物质来源于张广才岭海西期花岗岩 ,后者的物源来自于上地壳。     

鸡西盆地白垩纪碎屑岩地球化学特征及其对物源的制约

鸡西盆地白垩系包括下白垩统滴道组、城子河组、穆棱组、东山组、猴石沟组及上白垩统海浪组等。白垩纪碎屑岩主量元素地球化学特征具有高SiO2、低Fe2O3、FeO、MgO的特点,说明白垩纪碎屑岩的源岩主要为长英质岩石。岩石的稀土元素具轻稀土元素富集,重稀土相对亏损,具弱的负Eu异常,其特征类似于上地壳特征。白垩纪碎屑岩微量元素的含量与上地壳微量元素的含量基本一致。综合分析砂岩的常量元素、微量元素和稀土元素的地球化学特征和构造判别图解,可以认为,城子河组砂岩主要反映被动大陆边缘的源区构造背景,穆棱组砂岩反映活动大陆边缘源区背景,猴石沟组砂岩反映的源区为大陆岛弧源区构造背景。结合古水流方向和岩屑所反映的源区岩性特点,认为小兴安岭—张广才岭造山带构造杂岩是鸡西盆地白垩纪沉积碎屑岩的主要物源。但随着物源区剥蚀深度的增加,基底古老变质岩也占有相当的比重。

早古生代古亚洲洋俯冲记录:来自东天山卡拉塔格高镁安山岩的年代学、地球化学证据

吐哈盆地南缘荒草坡群大柳沟组火山岩出露于大草滩断裂以北的彩霞山、土屋铜矿北和卡拉塔格地区。该组火山岩主要为基性、中酸性熔岩及火山碎屑岩组合。LA-ICP MS锆石U-Pb分析获得安山岩和英安岩的年龄分别为434.8±3.8Ma和438.4±4.9Ma,表明大柳沟组火山岩形成于早志留世。安山岩Si O2含量为54.35%~60.70%;Al2O3含量为11.8%~16.3%,Mg O含量为4.94%~8.27%,Ti O2含量为0.38%~0.52%,Na2O和K2O的含量分别为0.50%~3.83%和0.08%~1.26%,铝饱和指数(A/CNK)为0.77~1.37,低ΣREE(43×10-6~70×10-6),为具有亏损源区特征的高镁安山岩。英安岩较安山岩Si O2含量高(63.74%~75.35%),具有相似的Al2O3(12.3%~16.0%%)和Ti O2(0.32%~0.52%)含量;Na2O和K2O含量分别为2.01%~5.53%和0.16%~2.19%,ΣREE含量较安山岩略高(61×10-6~84×10-6),铝饱和指数(A/CNK)为0.77~5.74。安山岩和英安岩均轻重稀土分异明显,具有中等的Eu负异常;富集大离子亲石元素(LILE),亏损高场强元素(HFSE),具有明显的Nb-Ta-Ti负异常。相似的岩石地球化学特征表明安山岩和英安岩可能为同源岩浆,英安岩是安山质岩浆经过角闪石等矿物结晶分异作用形成的,安山岩的母岩岩浆很可能来自亏损大洋岩石圈地幔。基于该组岩石组合、地球化学特征和区域地质资料,推测研究区高镁安山岩可能形成于洋内弧环境,这表明东天山吐哈盆地南缘卡拉塔格地区在早古生代已经存在古亚洲洋的俯冲。     

黑龙江省老黑山盆地下白垩统穆棱组砂岩地球化学特征及其地质意义

为研究黑龙江老黑山盆地下白垩统穆棱组砂岩的源岩属性和源区大地构造背景,在穆棱组进行系统取样,开展地球化学特征和显微镜下分析。研究结果表明：穆棱组砂岩主量元素显示Fe2O3的含量小于FeO,CaO的含量大于MgO的含量,稀土元素具有轻稀土富集、重稀土平坦、多数样品的δEu值具有负异常等特征,样品间微量元素的富集和亏损差异明显。相关系列判别图解表明穆棱组源岩未经沉积再循环作用,属于短距离搬运堆积,且源岩主要为来自上地壳的长英质岩石,但存在多个物源。结合砂岩地球化学特征和Dickinson图解及区域构造背景认为,物源区主要形成于印支运动晚期活动大陆边缘构造背景下的再旋回造山源区和基底隆起区,源岩主要来自于晚三叠世—早中侏罗世的长英质火山岩和侵入岩,而少量可能来自于晚二叠世的变质岩。

Geochemistry and Provenance of Maastrichtian Clastic Rocks in the Dikmendede Formation of Orhaniye in Kazan-Ankara-Turkey Region

An integrated petrographic and geochemical study of the sandstones of the Maastrichtian-aged in the Orhaniye (Kazan-Ankara-Turkey) was carried out to obtain more information on their provenance, sedimentological history and tectonic setting. Depending on their matrix and mineralogical content, the Maastrichtian sandstones are identified as lithic arenite/wacke. The Dikmendede sandstones derived from types of provenances, the recycled orogen and recycled transitional. The chemical characteristics of the Dikmendede sandstones, i.e., fairly uniform compositions, high Th/U ratios (>3.0), negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* 0.72–0.99) and Th/Sc ratios (mostly less than 1.0), favor the OUC (old upper continental crust) provenance for the Dikmendede sandstones. The SiO2/Al2O3, Th/Sc (mostly <1.0) and La/Sc (<4.0) ratios are; however, slightly lower than typical OUC, and these ratios may suggest a minor contribution of young arc-derived material. The rare earth element (REE) pattern, and La/Sc versus Th/Co plot suggests that these sediments were mainly derived from felsic source rocks. The Dikmendede sandstones have high Cr (123–294 ppm) and Ni (52–212 ppm) concentrations, Cr/Ni ratio of 1.93, and a medium correlation coefficient between Cr and Ni and corresponding medium to high correlation of both (Cr and Ni, respectively) elements with Co. These relationships indicate a significant contribution of detritus from ophiolitic rocks. As rare earth element data are available for the Dikmendede sandstones, the Eu/Eu* is compared with LaN/YbN. Samples plot in the area of overlapping between continental collision, strike-slip and continental arc basins. The predominantly felsic composition of the Dikmendede sandstones is supported by the REE plots, which show enriched light REE, negative Eu anomaly and flat or uniform heavy REE. The Dikmendede sandstones have compositions similar to those of the average upper continental crust and post-Archean Australian shales. This feature indicates that the sediments were derived mainly from the upper continental crust. The Dikmendede sandstones have chemical index of alteration (CIA) values of 28–49, with an average of 40 indicating a low degree of chemical weathering in the source area. The compositional immaturity of the analyzed sandstone samples is typical of subduction-related environments, and their SiO2/Al2O3 and K2O/Na2O ratios and Co, Sc, Th and Zr contents reflect their oceanic and continental-arc settings. The Dikmendede sandstones were developed as flysch deposits derived from mixed provenance in a collision belt.     

内蒙古狼山地区早二叠世花岗闪长岩的年代学、地球化学特征及其构造背景

内蒙古狼山山脉西侧分布有大面积的晚古生代岩浆岩,其时代集中在早石炭世—晚二叠世,不同时代岩浆岩岩石组合对于认识狼山地区晚古生代构造背景具有重要的意义。文章通过岩石学、岩相学、地球化学及Hf同位素等方法,对狼山地区查干乃呼都格一带花岗闪长岩体进行了研究。该岩体岩性为花岗闪长岩,LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄显示,其206Pb/238U加权平均年龄为(299±1)～(293±2) Ma。岩石暗色矿物为角闪石及黑云母,富含闪长质包体,P_2O_5含量与SiO_2含量之间显示良好的负相关性,富钠(Na_2O含量为3.45%～4.96%),高钠钾比值(Na_2O/K_2O比值为1.33～2.52),岩石地球化学特征显示花岗岩成因类型为Ⅰ型花岗岩。岩石具有负的ε_(Hf)(t)值(-6.3～-2.0)及T_(DM2)为1437～1704 Ma(平均值为1606 Ma),显示了古—中元古代古老地壳熔融的特点,ε_(Hf)(t)-t及角闪石成因图解显示源区有幔源岩浆参与。花岗岩富集大离子亲石元素Rb、K、Pb,不同程度的亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、P、Ti,轻稀土富集,重稀土亏损,弱的负Eu异常,显示了岩浆弧的地球化学特征。结合晚石炭世—早二叠世狼山地区侵入岩岩石组合为闪长岩+石英闪长岩+花岗闪长岩(英云闪长岩),早—中二叠世大石寨组火山岩岩石组合为玄武岩+玄武安山岩+安山岩+英安岩,总体反映了陆缘弧的岩石组合;狼山地区早二叠世处于大陆边缘弧的构造背景,与华北地块北缘中东部可以对比。

Geochemistry of black shales from the Lower Cretaceous Paja Formation,Eastern Cordillera,Colombia: Source weathering,provenance, and tectonic setting

The major and trace element characteristics of black shales from the Lower Cretaceous Paja Formation of Colombia are broadly comparable with those of the average upper continental crust. Among the exceptions are marked enrichments in V, Cr, and Ni. These enrichments are associated with high organic carbon contents. CaO and Na₂O are strongly depleted, leading to high values for both the Chemical Index of Alteration (77–96) and the Plagioclase Index of Alteration (86–99), which indicates derivation from a stable, intensely weathered felsic source terrane. The REE abundances and patterns vary considerably but can be divided into three main groups according to their characteristics and stratigraphic position. Four samples from the lower part of the Paja Formation (Group 1) are characterized by LREE-enriched chondrite-normalized patterns (average La_N/Yb_N = 8.41) and significant negative Eu anomalies (average Eu/Eu¹ = 0.63). A second group of five samples (Group 2), also from the lower part, have relatively flat REE patterns (average La_N/Yb_N = 1.84) and only slightly smaller Eu anomalies (average Eu/Eu¹ = 0.69). Six samples from the middle and upper parts (Group 3) have highly fractionated patterns (average La_N/Yb_N = 15.35), resembling those of Group 1, and an identical average Eu/Eu¹ of 0.63. The fractionated REE patterns and significant negative Eu anomalies in Groups 1 and 3 are consistent with derivation from an evolved felsic source. The flatter patterns of Group 2 shale and strongly concave MREE-depleted patterns in two additional shales likely were produced during diagenesis, rather than reflecting more mafic detrital inputs. An analysis of a single sandstone suggests diagenetic modification of the REE, because its REE pattern is identical to that of the upper continental crust except for the presence of a significant positive Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu¹ = 1.15). Felsic provenance for all samples is suggested by the clustering on the Th/Sc–Zr/Sc and Gd_N/Yb_N–Eu/Eu¹ diagrams. Averages of unmodified Groups 1 and 3 REE patterns compare well with cratonic sediments from the Roraima Formation in the Guyana Shield, suggesting derivation from a continental source of similar composition. In comparison with modern sediments, the geochemical parameters (K₂O/Na₂O, La_N/Yb_N, La_N/Sm_N, Eu/Eu¹, La/Sc, La/Y, Ce/Sc) suggest the Paja Formation was deposited at a passive margin. The Paja shales thus represent highly mature sediments recycled from deeply weathered, older, sedimentary/metasedimentary rocks, possibly in the Guyana Shield, though Na-rich volcanic/granitic rocks may have contributed to some extent.     

Zircon U–Pb Geochronology,Elemental Geochemistry and Geological Implications of the Andesite of the Yixian Formation in the Tiejiangyingzi Basin in Southeastern Chifeng,China

The Early Cretaceous andesite of the Yixian Formation is an ore‐host rock in the Tiejiangyingzi basin in southeastern Chifeng, China, and bears several meso‐epithermal Au deposits, such as the Nalingou and Yaogou Au deposits. The geochronology and elemental geochemistry of the Yixian Formation were investigated to reveal its metallogenic context, petrogenesis, and mineralization contribution. The ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages of zircons reveals that the andesite formed at 125.5 ± 0.9 Ma. This rock belongs to calc‐alkali rock series according to its elemental geochemical analysis results (i.e., SiO₂ = 63.63%–67.27%, MgO = 1.17%–1.43%, K₂O = 4.07%–4.67%, Mg^# = 35–41, Al₂O₃ = 17.16%–18.63%, Na₂O = 3.35%–4.08%, Sr = (240.1–585.6) × 10^‐6, Yb = (1.83–2.22) × 10^‐6, Y = (13.9–23.36) × 10^‐6, Na₂O/K₂O = 0.7–0.9, Eu/Eu* = (0.75–0.79) × 10^‐6, Sr/Y = 13–27, La_N/Yb_N = 11–19 ). The chondrite‐normalized trace element plot shows that the andesite is enriched in light rare earth elements (LREEs) and Yb. Thus, the residual phase of andesite volcanic rocks is a granulite suite that contains amphibole and little remaining garnet in the Tiejiangyingzi basin. It can be concluded that andesite volcanic rocks distributed in the Tiejiangyingzi basin were formed in an extensional tectonic environment during the Mesozoic orogen, and the lower crust had experienced extensive high‐temperature metamorphism and melting. This gold‐bearing lower crust is closely related to mineralization. Therefore, the conclusions of this research have an important implication for further prospecting in southeastern Chifeng, China.     

内蒙古东北部中二叠统哲斯组砂岩地球化学特征分析及物源区示踪

利用岩石地球化学示踪技术,对内蒙古东北地区中二叠统哲斯组砂岩的物源区和构造背景进行了研究.对研究区中二叠统哲斯组砂岩常量元素、微量以及稀土元素的分析表明,哲斯组砂岩样品的常量元素整体上SiO2、Al2O3、Fe2O3含量高(分别为67.87％ ～71.94％、14.57％～15.61％、2.61％ ～6.20％),CaO、MgO含量低(分别为0.31％ ～0.58％和0.80％～1.93％).微量元素上呈大离子亲石元素Ba、Sr相对富集,高场强元素除Zr、Y外相对较低,并且具有轻稀土元素富集、重稀土元素亏损和明显负Eu异常的特点,其中(La/Yb)n=5.08～8.67,Eu/Eu* -0.56～0.77.认为研究区哲斯组砂岩的物源主要来自于上地壳长英质源区,源岩可能为花岗岩,其物源区的构造背景为大陆岛弧环境.
