库鲁克塔格下古生界土什布拉克组形成时代及源区：碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学证据

库鲁克塔格地区是土什布拉克组的命名地和典型剖面分布区,主要由灰绿色砂岩及粉砂岩组成。运用LA-ICP-MS U-Pb方法,对土什布拉克组3件砂岩碎屑锆石进行U-Pb年龄测定,共获得了183组U-Pb有效年龄,既限定了地层的最早形成时代,同时又获取研究区早古生代的演化资料。获得14个较年轻锆石年龄表明,土什布拉克组形成于中—晚志留世。碎屑锆石的谐和年龄表明,物源主要集中在422～537 Ma、559～999 Ma、1018～1574Ma和1604～2498Ma。碎屑锆石年龄394～537Ma和CL图像揭示,在早古生代时期发育大量岩浆岩,但目前地表仅有少量的岩浆岩记录。研究区新元古代的岩浆锆石年龄值,可能与罗迪尼亚超大陆的聚合-裂解有关。碎屑锆石也表明研究区发育区域变质作用,部分与哥伦比亚超大陆有关。

大兴安岭南部扎赉特旗团发村晚古生代沉积岩源区和时代限定

大兴安岭南部扎赉特旗地区分布着一套晚古生代地层,由砂岩、粉砂岩和泥岩组成,由于缺乏古生物化石和年代学证据,前人依据地层对比将其定为晚二叠世林西组。本次工作在详细地野外地质调查基础上,运用锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb测年技术,对三个砂岩样品(样品号:18TF-01、18YSL-04和18XBL-01)中的碎屑锆石进行了测定,共获得219颗碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄值,其主要分布在243~269Ma,273~298Ma,305~339Ma,350~377 Ma,445~507 Ma和754~1053 Ma六个年龄区间。其中获得最年轻的一组锆石的谐和年龄为245 Ma,并结合区域上侵入该地层花岗岩的年龄,限定其沉积时代可能为中三叠世。根据碎屑锆石的年龄值特征反映出该地层具有多物源供给的特点,其中年龄为243~269Ma的碎屑物质源区主要来自于古亚洲洋闭合及碰撞造山相关的岛弧花岗岩类;年龄为273~298 Ma主要来自于大石寨组火山岩;年龄为305~339 Ma可能主要来自于格根敖包组火山岩;350~377 Ma的碎屑锆石可能源于北部大民山组火山岩;年龄为754~1053 Ma的碎屑锆石与漠河杂岩、兴华渡口群及佳木斯微陆块中元古代的岩浆事件有关;较古老~1800 Ma的碎屑锆石可能来自于古亚洲洋中微陆块或结晶基底。砂岩中锆石的形成年龄与地层沉积年龄较为相近,显示出汇聚背景下的特征。因此,综合砂岩物质组成、锆石年龄特征及弧-盆之间时空关系,显示中三叠世该地区可能形成于汇聚背景下的弧前盆地。     

北大巴山地区晚古生代滔河口组碎屑锆石年代学研究及对古生代岩浆事件的限定

长期以来,一直认为北大巴山地区仅分布着早古生代地层,实际并非如此。滔河口组主要为一套火山-沉积组合序列,保留相对完整的地层记录。本文运用LA-ICP-MS U-Pb方法,对由灰绿色砂岩和玄武岩组成的滔河口组同一采样位置的2件砂岩碎屑锆石进行U-Pb年龄测定,获得了52组U-Pb有效年龄,重新限定了滔河口组的形成时代,且为北大巴山地区早古生代构造演化提供了详细资料。获得的11个较年轻的锆石年龄表明,滔河口组形成不早于早泥盆世。碎屑锆石的谐和年龄表明,物源主要集中在407~434Ma侵入岩、粗面岩和玄武岩等。研究区的岩浆成因碎屑锆石年龄值表明,古生代时期发育3期岩浆作用,分别对应431~439Ma侵入岩、426.9Ma斑鸠关组粗面岩和414.3Ma滔河口组玄武岩。     

中亚造山带中段南缘圆包山组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄、物源及其构造演化意义

取自圆包山组砂岩样品中的碎屑锆石作LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年,获得两个数据年龄区间:409~431Ma(峰值420Ma)和458~488Ma(峰值488Ma)。圆包山组底部发育的笔石化石和420Ma的锆石峰值年龄将圆包山组的时代限定为早志留世后,通过与兴蒙造山带的构造演化对比,认为圆包山组时代为早志留世至早泥盆世。对圆包山组中发育的沉积构造进行古流向分析,认为圆包山组物源区位于杭乌拉北西方向。结合区域岩浆演化资料分析,圆包山组物源区为呼和套尔盖地区。在圆包山组中还检测到继承锆石,新元古代分布于559~952Ma,中元古代分布于1011~1460Ma,古元古代分布于1629~2490Ma。从前人对西伯利亚板块南部、塔里木板块以及南蒙古微板块的相关锆石年龄结果总结发现,华北板块与周围板块最主要的区别在于没有或者很少有中元古代晚期至新元古代早期的锆石年龄记录,阿拉善地块也缺少1.0~1.2Ga锆石年龄记录。综上,认为研究区在古生代构造位置属于南蒙古微板块南部的一部分,元古代物源来自塔里木板块。另外由碎屑锆石年龄在地层中分布特征来看,研究区在早泥盆世后隆升作用明显,构造活动性增强,受到塔里木板块影响逐渐加强。     

库鲁克塔格地区新元古代沉积物源分析:来自碎屑锆石年代学的证据

库鲁克塔格位于南天山和塔里木盆地接合部,保留相对较完整的地层记录。新元古代贝义西组主要为一套火山-沉积组合序列,育肯沟组为浊流成因的砂岩和粉砂岩组合。对取自两个地层的沉积岩样品,分别进行了碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb测年,并分别获得了93组和71组U-Pb有效年龄。其中贝义西组锆石U-Pb年龄主峰值为821Ma、次峰值为861Ma的碎屑锆石(761~847Ma)具有显著优势,育肯沟组年龄值为768Ma(次峰值为800Ma和741Ma)的碎屑锆石比较集中,说明库鲁克塔格地区在741Ma、768Ma、800Ma、821Ma和861Ma有大规模的岩浆活动。10个太古代碎屑锆石年龄以及综合已有的研究成果,确认库鲁克塔格存在中-新太古代基底。贝义西组砂岩主要源自761~847Ma、851~972Ma和1808~2498Ma岩石。育肯沟组主要来自734~845Ma、858~963Ma和1708~2486Ma的岩石。     

大兴安岭中段晚石炭世-早二叠世砂岩碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄及地质意义

位于中亚造山带东段的中国东北地区由众多微地块拼合而成,但各地块间的拼贴时间、位置和演化过程一直是地学界争议的关键科学问题.针对大兴安岭中段蘑菇气地区晚石炭世-早二叠世宝力高庙组砂岩开展了详细的岩相学、碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学研究,分析了砂岩母岩区大地构造背景,进而约束兴安地块与松辽地块的汇聚过程.研究结果表明,砂岩具有成分成熟度低、近源快速沉积特点,碎屑骨架成分显示了火成岩区物源供给.锆石颗粒CL图像、Th/U值及REE特征均指示了锆石为岩浆成因.测试样品中锆石U-Pb年龄主要集中在282~360 Ma（n=134）,峰值年龄约为290 Ma、305 Ma、325 Ma和350 Ma.结合区域内前人的研究成果,暗示了其物源可能来自蘑菇气-嫩江-黑河一线的晚古生代俯冲-同碰撞期岩浆弧;样品中最年轻的锆石U-Pb年龄分别为282±4 Ma（样品15MG10）和287±4 Ma（样品15MG11）,可以限定砂岩的沉积下限为早二叠世.对比索伦-蘑菇气地区晚石炭世-早三叠世砂岩的碎屑锆石年龄组成,发现兴安地块内晚石炭世-早二叠世碎屑组分与松辽地块内中二叠世-早三叠世碎屑组分基本相同,说明兴安地块与松辽地块已于晚石炭世前沿贺根山-黑河缝合带完成拼合.      

内蒙古巴林左旗二叠系碎屑锆石LA ICP MS U Pb年龄及构造意义

内蒙古巴林左旗碧流台地区分布一套碎屑岩,以砂板岩组合为特征,时代原为早二叠世。对该套地层所取砂岩样品进行LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学研究,对取自长石岩屑砂岩样品中100颗碎屑锆石进行测试分析,结果显示,100颗锆石的谐和年龄主要集中分布在4个年龄区间,分别为253~298Ma,309~362Ma,428~595Ma,851~1526Ma,最年轻的一组锆石年龄为253~298Ma,存在266Ma的锆石峰值年龄。266Ma的年龄限定了地层的沉积时限,即地层应在晚二叠世沉积,且砂岩的碎屑锆石年龄特征和地层岩性组合与区域上发育的林西组可以对比,故将该套地层划为林西组。年龄数据普值特征反映出,该地层具有多物源供给的特点,但物源主体来自东北各地块,未见华北板块的物源区年龄信息,表明华北板块与西伯利亚板块在晚二叠世并未完全碰撞闭合,253~298Ma的锆石年龄与西拉木伦缝合带附近与板块俯冲、碰撞相关的岩浆事件相吻合,表明两大板块的最终碰撞拼合时间应晚于266Ma。     

中祁连拉脊山早古生代沉积岩源区和时代限定

拉脊山混杂带之上的早古生代盆地由砾岩、砂岩和粉砂岩组成的陆相碎屑岩,在沉积时代、源区和构造属性方面缺乏研究。本文对两个杂砂岩样品进行了碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb测年和Hf同位素分析。在两个样品中获得年轻的碎屑锆石加权平均年龄为413±5Ma,综合限定沉积时代为晚志留世-早泥盆世;碎屑锆石年龄谱明显分为4组:411~516Ma,619~1149Ma,1500~1621Ma和2356~2549Ma。其中411~516Ma的年龄数据约占总体的56.6%,所占比例最大,年龄相对集中,显示出强烈的峰值为441Ma,指示其物源可能源于中祁连加里东期俯冲增生、碰撞造山过程中产生的一系列岛弧火山岩和岩浆弧花岗岩类,这与碎屑锆石εHf(t)值(-11.1~+13.7)是一致的,同时也表明在加里东期有大量年轻的物质加入,这些物质在造山过程中遭受剥蚀成为主要的物源。碎屑锆石年龄组619~1149Ma约占总体的27.8%,峰值主要表现为950Ma和777Ma,与祁连造山带新元古代岩浆事件有关,反映新元古代大陆的汇聚和裂解相关的岩浆作用,与εHf(t)值是相对应的;1500~1621Ma年龄组反映碎屑物质可能来自祁连造山带;2356~2549Ma年龄组反映物源来自祁连造山带中的结晶地块,或者来自于华北板块结晶基地。综合分析表明,志留纪砂岩具有明显的多元性物源,以中祁连加里东期俯冲增生-碰撞造山过程产生的岩浆岩是主要物源区。     

新疆柯坪地区下志留统柯坪塔格组物源分析:来自地球化学、锆石U-Pb年代学的约束

以柯坪塔格组灰绿色砂岩为研究对象,开展了系统的岩石地球化学和同位素年代学研究。结果表明,砂岩SiO_2质量分数较高,Na_2O、CaO、TiO_2质量分数较低;轻稀土元素富集,具明显的Eu负异常。碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄集中分布于1 000~700,2 500~1 800 Ma 2个区间,可能分别对应新元古代晚期南华纪-青白口纪的构造抬升运动和古元古代早期的强烈构造运动及岩浆侵位,个别锆石颗粒年龄超过2 500 Ma,2颗锆石年龄数据偏小,仅在437~435 Ma之间,可能与南天山洋俯冲导致的岩浆活动有关。分析表明,早志留世柯坪地区处于稳定的被动大陆边缘,碎屑物源主要来自塔北隆起前寒武纪古老的克拉通基底岩类。     

Police, politics, and the right to the city

Space and spatiality have recently been at the core of debates concerning the political possibilities of the city. The arguments advanced in this paper might be seen as an attempt to contribute to these debates through a reflection on the spatiality of (in) justice, politics, and the right to the city. The case of French urban policy, with its focus on distressed urban areas, and the `suburban problem' in France are used as examples to make arguments more concrete.     

Isotopic systematics of He,Ar, S,Cu, Ni,Re, Os,Pb, U,Sm, Nd,Rb, Sr,Lu, and Hf in the rocks and ores of the Norilsk deposits

This paper reports the first results of a study of 11 isotope systems (³He/⁴He, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar, ³⁴S/³²S, ⁶⁵Cu/⁶³Cu, ⁶²Ni/⁶⁰Ni, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd, ^206–208Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, Hf–Nd, U–Pb, and Re–Os) in the rocks and ores of the Cu–Ni–PGE deposits of the Norilsk ore district. Almost all the results were obtained at the Center of Isotopic Research of the Karpinskii All-Russia Research Institute of Geology. The use of a number of independent genetic isotopic signatures and comprehensive isotopic knowledge provided a methodic basis for the interpretation of approximately 5000 isotopic analyses of various elements. The presence of materials from two sources, crust and mantle, was detected in the composition of the rocks and ores. The contribution of the crustal source is especially significant in the paleofluids (gas–liquid microinclusions) of the ore-forming medium. Crustal solutions were probably a transport medium during ore formation. Air argon is dominant in the ores, which indicates a connection between the paleofluids and the atmosphere. This suggests intense groundwater circulation during the crystallization of ore minerals. The age of the rocks and ores of the Norilsk deposits was determined. The stage of orebody formation is restricted to a narrow age interval of 250 ± 10 Ma. An isotopic criterion was proposed for the ore-bearing potential of mafic intrusions in the Norilsk–Taimyr region. It includes several interrelated isotopic ratios of various elements: He, Ar, S, and others.     

Influences of the unsaturated,saturated, and riparian zones on the transport of nitrate near the Merced River,California, USA

Transport and transformation of nitrate was evaluated along a 1-km groundwater transect from an almond orchard to the Merced River, California, USA, within an irrigated agricultural setting. As indicated by measurements of pore-water nitrate and modeling using the root zone water quality model, about 63% of the applied nitrogen was transported through a 6.5-m unsaturated zone. Transport times from recharge locations to the edge of a riparian zone ranged from approximately 6 months to greater than 100 years. This allowed for partial denitrification in horizons having mildly reducing conditions, and essentially no denitrification in horizons with oxidizing conditions. Transport times across a 50–100-m-wide riparian zone of less than a year to over 6 years and more strongly reducing conditions resulted in greater rates of denitrification. Isotopic measurements and concentrations of excess N₂ in water were indicative of denitrification with the highest rates below the Merced River. Discharge of water and nitrate into the river was dependent on gradients driven by irrigation or river stage. The results suggest that the assimilative capacity for nitrate of the groundwater system, and particularly the riverbed, is limiting the nitrate load to the Merced River in the study area.     

扬子北缘马元铅锌矿床闪锌矿微量元素及S-Pb-He-Ar-C同位素地球化学研究

马元铅锌矿床是近年扬子陆块北缘铅锌找矿的新突破。矿体呈层状、似层状产于碑坝隆起翼部震旦系灯影组角砾状白云岩层间构造带中,围岩蚀变很弱。矿石中硫化物以闪锌矿、方铅矿为主,中粗粒晶质结构,充填于白云岩角砾间。闪锌矿富集Cd、Ge、Ag,贫In、Tl、Se,Ga/In为6~132,Ge/In多1000,成矿温度以中-低温为主。金属硫化物ε~(34)S值相对集中,为12.9‰~19.4‰,平均为17.4‰,来自于海相硫酸盐的还原。铅同位素组成稳定,~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb为17.858~17.918:~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb为15.603~15.694;~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb为37.756~38.046,具有造山带和上地壳铅的特征,震旦系可能提供了金属成矿物质。闪锌矿中流体包裹体的~3He/~4He为0.03Ra~1.05Ra,~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar为326.1~765.1,~(38)Ar/~(36)Ar为0.183~0.204,表明成矿流体主要为地壳流体和饱和大气水(大气降水或海水)的混合。闪锌矿内流体包裹体挥发分δ~(13)C_(CH_4)值为-36.01‰~-28.80‰,δ~(13)C_(C_2H_6)值为-27.72‰~-22.44‰,δ~(13)C_(CO_2)值为-23.24‰~-9.68‰,表明有机流体参与了成矿作用。石英、方解石的H-O同位素结果表明具有海水和有机水混合的特征。可见,成矿流体具有两种流体混合的特征,一为蒸发海水与围岩反应所形成的盆地卤水,二为有机流体。推测矿区可能存在一个古油气藏,由于TSR生成一高硫气藏,为区内还原性有机流体的主要来源。当富含Pb、Zn等成矿物质的成矿流体运移至富含CH_4和H_2S的还原性流体的矿区角砾岩带时,两种流体混合,Pb、Zn等遇到H_2S发生反应而沉淀成矿,并伴生热液白云石等,形成了马元铅锌矿床。综上所述,我们认为马元矿床属MVT型铅锌矿床。     

Rb-Sr, K-Ar, H-and O-Isotope systematics of the Middle Riphean shales from the Debengda Formation, the Olenek Uplift, North Sibera

Clay subfractions (SFs) of <0.1, 0.1–0.2, 0.2–0.3, 0.3–0.6, 0.6–2 and 2–5 μm separated from Middle Riphean shales of the Debengda Formation are studied using the TEM, XRD, K-Ar and Rb-Sr isotopic methods. The oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions in the SFs are studied as well. The low-temperature illite-smectite is dominant mineral in all the SFs except for the coarsest ones. The XRD, chemical and isotopic data imply that two generations of authigenic illite-smectite different in age are mixed in the SFs. The illite crystallinity index decreases in parallel with size diminishing of clay particles. As compared to coarser SFs, illite of fine-grained subfractions is enriched in Al relative to Fe and Mg, contains more K, and reveals higher K/Rb and Rb/Sr ratios. The Rb-Sr age calculated by means of the leachochron (“inner isochron”) method declines gradually from 1254-1272 Ma in the coarsest SFs to 1038-1044 Ma in finest ones, while the K-Ar age decreases simultaneously from 1225–1240 to 1080 Ma. The established positive correlation of δ¹⁸O and δD values with dimensions of clay particles in the SFs seems to be also consistent with the mixing systematics. The isotopic systematics along with data on mineral composition and morphology lead to the conclusion that mixedlayer illite-smectite was formed in the Debengda shales during two periods 1211–1272 and 1038–1080 Ma ago. The first period is likely close to the deposition time of sediments and corresponds to events of burial catagenesis, whereas the second one is correlative with the regional uplift and changes in hydrological regime during the pre-Khaipakh break in sedimentation.     

Delivery of Trace Metals (Al,Fe, Mn,V, Co,Ni, Cu,Cd, Ag,Pb) from the Trinity River Watershed Towards the Ocean

The Trinity River (Texas, USA) contains in its watershed 23 different reservoir lakes, the largest one being Lake Livingston situated in the lower Trinity River watershed and two potentially polluting metroplexes, Dallas and Houston. In order to determine fluxes of nutrients and trace metals to Galveston Bay, a survey that included 24 discreet samples collected over a year and at various stages of discharge was carried out during 2000–2001. Geochemical (i.e., sorption by Fe oxyhydroxides), biological (i.e., seasonal uptake by sinking algae in Lake Livingston), and hydrological (i.e., dilution effects by increasing flow rates) controls were found to be mainly responsible for variations in dissolved trace metal concentrations rather than pollution sources. The Trinity River loads of suspended sediments and pollutant trace metals entering Galveston Bay at Anahuac were <20% of those reaching Lake Livingston, and only a few percent of the total upstream trace metal load is entering the Gulf of Mexico. Thus, during the transit through the 23 man-made lakes and an estuary, >96% of the pollutant trace metal load is lost to sediments.     

海南长塘岭矿区大坡岩体岩石学、地球化学特征及其含矿性初探

海南大坡岩体位于五指山褶皱带内,主要受昌江—琼海构造带、琼西构造带与潭爷断陷构造带控制.岩石地球化学及岩石学研究表明,大坡岩体形成于海西-印支晚期,岩性单一,主要为中细粒似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩.岩体显示为Ⅰ型花岗岩与S型花岗岩的混合,主体以地壳物质部分熔融为主,形成过程有少量地幔物质加入.元素对的比值及稀土元素配分特征说明岩体钨锡等多金属含矿性可能较差.

Breakthroughs in the biodiversity, biogeography, biostratigraphy, and basin analysis of the Beaufort group

Over the past decade researchers working on the rocks of the Beaufort Group in the main Karoo Basin of South Africa have vastly increased our understanding of this important Permo-Triassic sequence. Many new fossil forms have been discovered, allowing for breakthroughs into the biodiversity, biogeography and biostratigraphy of the group. Taxonomic and phylogenetic advances are many and varied, and cover most of the vertebrate taxa, but with emphasis placed on the temnospondyl amphibians, archosauriforms and non-mammalian synapsids, in particular the anomodontia. Biostratigraphic breakthroughs have centered on the Middle Permian Eodicynodon and Tapinocephalus assemblage zones, the Late Permian Dicynodon Assemblage Zone, and the Triassic Lystrosaurus and Cynognathus assemblage zones. Correlation of these biozones with better dated sequences in Europe, Russia and China has allowed for many chronostratigraphic refinements, which are in turn vital for sequence stratigraphical analysis of the basin fill. Based on fossil data, both the lower (Ecca–Beaufort) and upper (Beaufort–Molteno) contacts of the group have been proved to be highly diachronous. The refined chronostratigraphic framework has also allowed for a better analysis of the basin evolution through time, particularly in terms of the correlation of external stimuli that affect basin sedimentation patterns.
