红粘土的磁学性质研究

本文对陕西宝鸡剖面红粘土上部进行了详细的岩石磁学研究，确定了该地区红粘土的主要磁性矿物是磁铁矿。赤铁矿相对含量很少，对剩余磁性贡献较小。磁性质不稳定的磁赤铁矿存在于红粘土中，但不影响剩磁稳定性。特征剩磁载体主要是磁铁矿。磁性矿物的粒度是以准单畴为主。红粘土的短时间弛豫粘滞剩磁很强，因此在零磁空间进行退磁和剩磁测量是非常重要的。     

花岗岩上发育的亚热带红土岩石磁学特征

本文对发育于花岗岩上的两个亚热带红土剖面进行了系统的岩石磁学研究,测试了磁化率、频率磁化率、等温剩磁、非磁滞剩磁、磁滞回线等常温磁学参数,选取代表性样品进行了高低温岩石磁学分析,拟探讨亚热带红土磁性矿物的特征及湿热环境下土壤中磁性矿物的转化规律。实验结果表明:亚热带红土的强磁性矿物为磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿;弱磁性矿物为赤铁矿和针铁矿,滞水土层中含有纤铁矿。花岗岩具有较强的磁性,在其上发育的红土也因此具有较强的磁性。花岗岩中的亚铁磁性矿物的磁畴以多畴占主导地位,随着风化强度的增强,逐渐形成较细粒的超顺磁与单畴磁性矿物。亚热带红土中的磁赤铁矿与位于半干旱区黄土高原成土作用形成的磁赤铁矿存在着磁学性质上的差异,表现为具有更高的居里点(约600℃和640℃),可能说明亚热带红土中的磁赤铁矿粒径更粗。两个剖面在磁学性质上存在着明显的差异,泉州剖面磁性矿物以磁铁矿为主,磁化率最高可达1823×10~(-8)m~3/kg,平均值为1033.1×10~(-8)m~3/kg,具有较低的剩磁矫顽力;福州剖面磁性矿物以磁铁矿和部分热稳定磁赤铁矿为主,磁化率最高为385.73×10~(-8)m~3/kg,平均值为91.5×10~(-8)m~3/kg。基于磁学参数分析,认为母质与后期成土作用共同造成了两个剖面的磁学性质差异,但后者起主导作用。磁化率在两个剖面中,均随着深度减小而减小,与温带地区表层土磁化率增强有很大区别。湿热环境条件下,强磁性矿物溶解或转化为弱磁性矿物的程度主导剖面磁化率变化。     

天山北麓典型黄土沉积序列的磁学特征及主控因子初探

新疆黄土岩石磁学特征与地层性质的对应关系具有鲜明的区域特征.本文选取沙湾黄土剖面进行较为系统的岩石磁学分析.研究结果表明,沙湾剖面的磁性矿物组成与黄土高原及新疆北部其他黄土剖面相似,以亚铁磁性矿物(如磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿)为主要的载磁矿物,同时含有一定量的不完全反铁磁性矿物(如赤铁矿、针铁矿)和顺磁性矿物.假单畴(PSD)和多畴(MD)为样品的主要磁畴特征,部分土壤样品中磁性矿物磁畴状态表现为单畴(SD).进一步分析发现,磁化率与地层对应关系较为复杂,剖面3m以上地层中的磁化率及其他相关磁学参数与成壤强度呈现正相关关系,全新世以来发育的古土壤中磁化率值较高,细颗粒磁性矿物含量也较高;而3m之下地层中磁学参数显著表现为风力强度驱动变化模式.古风场强度的变化可能对剖面整体磁学性质具有一定的影响,成壤作用受到风动力条件的制约,主要决定了较细颗粒磁性矿物的含量变化.xARM/SIRM参数与磁化率相比对地层成壤强度的指示作用更为明显.     

南方红土的磁性矿物组成及其区域性差异

位于我国热带、亚热带地区的南方红土是我国分布最广的第四纪土状沉积,其经历了较强的化学风化作用,具有典型的磁性矿物组成.磁性矿物是沉积物的重要组成成分.磁性矿物的种类、粒度和含量等信息可以反映沉积物形成时的温度、降水等气候条件.因此,了解红土沉积物磁性矿物组成对于研究南方红土区的环境演化具有重要意义.本文综合分析了安徽室城、浙江长兴、江西九江及广西百色4个剖面不同层位红±样品的x-T曲线、三轴等温剩磁热退磁曲线等岩石磁学结果,发现南方红土的磁性矿物组成主要为磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿、赤铁矿及针铁矿,这些磁性矿物的相对含量不仅具有地带性差异,而且在不同风化阶段也存在差异.其中百色剖面顶部棕色土中磁赤铁矿含量相对其他剖面较高,与百色地区现今较强的风化作用相符.同一剖面内网纹红土中赤铁矿的含量较高,磁赤铁矿的含量相对较低,指示网纹化时期较强的成土作用引起磁赤铁矿向赤铁矿的转化.此外,岩石磁学结果显示百色剖面网纹红土及均质红土中含有一种特殊性质的磁性矿物,即粒度较细、解阻温度较低的成土成因赤铁矿,该矿物为后期强烈风化作用的产物.该次生矿物携带了较强的化学剩磁,引起了百色剖面初始碎屑剩磁的重磁化.该研究表明磁性矿物组成的差异还可以用来解释南方红土剩磁记录的多样性.     

三门峡会兴沟剖面黄土—古土壤序列的岩石磁学研究

岩石磁学是古地磁学和环境磁学研究的基础,是鉴定岩石和沉积物中磁性矿物种类、粒度和含量的有效途径。对黄土高原东南部三门峡盆地的水沟—会兴沟旧石器遗址会兴沟剖面黄土—古土壤序列(S_0~S_8)进行系统的岩石磁学研究表明:本剖面沉积物的主要载磁矿物为磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿和赤铁矿,显示准单畴(PSD)磁性颗粒特征。所有磁学参数曲线均表现出基本一致的变化特征,与深海氧同位素曲线能够很好的对应,反映了第四纪以来的冰期—间冰期旋回中,东亚季风影响下的风尘黄土堆积中磁性矿物种类、粒度和含量的周期性变化特征。黄土中高矫顽力磁性矿物的相对含量要高于古土壤中的,而随着成土作用的加强,在古土壤中细粒的低矫顽力磁性矿物显著增加的同时,其中高矫顽力磁性矿物的绝对含量也相应增加。质量磁化率(χ)与非磁滞剩磁磁化率(χ_(ARM))和饱和等温剩磁(SIRM)及磁粒度参数χ_(ARM)/SIRM和χ_(ARM)/χ均呈明显的正相关关系,表明由成土作用产生的单畴(SD)颗粒和较小PSD颗粒对磁化率增强有显著的贡献。     

镇江下蜀土的岩石磁学特征及磁化率变化机制

对镇江59.4m厚的下蜀土剖面的磁化率、χ-T曲线、等温剩磁获得曲线和磁滞回线等岩石磁学性质进行了研究,结 果表明：1）全剖面磁化率变幅较大,变化于（6.4~186.3）×10-8m3·kg-1之间;其中,剖面下段（24~59.4m）平均值为 34.7×10-8m3·kg-1,远低于上段（0~24m）的平均值126.1×10-8m3·kg-1;2）代表性样品的岩石磁学特征大致可以分为两类： 一类具有较高的磁化率,χ-T曲线呈明显的磁铁矿的居里点特征,IRM获得曲线在300mT时接近饱和,反向场退磁曲线显 示具有较低的剩磁矫顽力（25~40mT）,磁滞回线表现出细高的形状,在600~800mT之间闭合,显示含有较多的亚铁磁性 矿物（如磁铁矿和磁赤铁矿）;另一类样品则具有较低的磁化率,χ-T曲线初始磁化率较低,IRM获得曲线在300mT时达到 饱和剩磁的69%~82%,具有较高的剩磁矫顽力（70~135mT）,磁滞回线呈蜂腰状,提示含有较少的亚铁磁性矿物和较多的 高矫顽力矿物（如赤铁矿和针铁矿）,且可能含有铁的硫化物;3）岩石磁学特征表明下蜀土堆积的不同时段可能受到不同 环境的控制,中更新世中期之前曾出现多期过度湿润的气候条件,导致成土环境偏向还原条件,磁铁矿和磁赤铁矿逐渐转 化为弱磁性矿物,使得磁化率异常降低,与西伯利亚黄土变化模式类似;中更新世中晚期以来则以较干燥的氧化环境为 主,主要受成壤作用控制,有利于细小磁铁矿和磁赤铁矿的生成,与中国黄土高原的成土模式相似。     

陇西第三纪红土磁学性质初步研究

在六盘山以西广泛分布着一套第三纪红色土状沉积,对这套沉积的成因及性质还没 有系统的研究。本文对陇西红土磁学性质的研究发现,该地红土的剩磁载体由主到次依次为磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿和赤铁矿,赤铁矿对剩磁有比较显著的贡献;特征剩磁载体主要是磁铁矿,一些古土壤中的赤铁矿也携带了部分特征剩磁,磁赤铁矿的存在不影响特征剩磁的稳定性。与六盘山以东宝鸡红土最显著的差异是陇西红土中的赤铁矿对磁学性质有明显的影响。与第四纪黄土一古土壤序列的热磁学性质的差异在于陇西红土在高温下仅产生少量或不产生强磁性矿物。这可能暗示着红土中含铁硅酸盐和粘土等矿物(可能在高温下产生磁铁矿)处于与黄土一古土壤的相应矿物不同的演化阶段。     

宝鸡古土壤层S7和黄土层L8的天然剩磁锁定深度初探

详细的古地磁及岩石磁学研究表明磁铁矿和赤铁矿是宝鸡古土壤层S7和黄土层L8的特征剩磁的主要载磁矿物,在稳定的正反极性期间,这两种磁性矿物携带的剩磁方向完全一致.然而,在地磁漂移事件或者松山-布容(M-B)极性转换的过程中,这两种载磁矿物有时携带的剩磁方向不同.高分辨率的磁性地层结果证实宝鸡古土壤层S7和黄土层L8能记录300～500年的短期地球磁场极性倒转事件.经与日本大阪湾高分辨率的海洋沉积物中记录的同期短期极性倒转事件相比,估算宝鸡剖面土壤层S7和黄土层L8的天然剩磁锁定深度小于5～8 cm.     

南非巴伯顿绿岩带条带状铁建造岩石磁学及磁性矿物的组成特征

条带状铁建造(BIFs)中含有大量的亚铁磁性矿物,其组成及来源是认识BIF成因的重要依据。本文研究了南非巴伯顿绿岩带无花果树群(距今约32亿年)恩圭尼亚组的BIFs样品的磁学和矿物学特征。通过测量富铁层与富硅层的磁滞回线、等温剩磁获得曲线与退磁曲线、矫顽力谱分析、一阶反转曲线(FORC)、低温(20～300K)有场/无场冷却曲线以及k-T曲线、Lowrie三轴热退磁曲线,结合扫描电镜观测,揭示出研究样品中磁性矿物主要为赤铁矿和磁铁矿。基于矫顽力谱分析,富铁层中磁铁矿主要是多畴及假单畴颗粒,相对含量平均为2. 1%;赤铁矿的相对含量平均为97. 9%。富硅层中磁铁矿主要为假单畴及超顺磁性颗粒,相对含量平均为4. 6%;赤铁矿相对含量平均为95. 4%。测试样品具有Morin转变特征,转变温度介于250～260K,说明BIFs中主要为赤铁矿(0. 5～6mm)。富硅层样品出现～107K、～125K两个Verwey转变温度,表明其中可能存在生物成因和非生物成因两种类型磁铁矿。     

碳酸盐岩新生代重磁化的磁性矿物相变记录

磁铁矿和黄铁矿都是碳酸盐岩中的常见矿物。前者具强磁性(铁磁性),常来自陆源母岩和火山喷发活动,或直接由磁细菌生成,含量不定,其所携带的剩磁,主体上应与岩石沉积时的地磁场方向一致;后者则显弱磁性(顺磁性),为有机物在还原条件下分解而成的自生成岩矿物,十分常见。二者之间的相互转换,无疑对古地磁学研究有重要意义。华北地台古生代碳酸盐岩样品的古地磁和岩石磁学研究表明,其热退磁结果往往能分离出一个与近代和(或)现代地磁场方向一致的剩磁成分,推测其应是新生代以来的重磁化成分．其等温剩磁获得曲线、剩磁强度衰减曲线和三轴饱和等温剩磁的热退磁曲线,都一致地反映出其载磁矿物组合中明显含有磁铁矿,有的甚至以磁铁矿为     

Palaeomagnetic evidence of a Variscan age for the epigenetic Galmoy zinc–lead deposit,Ireland

Palaeomagnetism of 273 specimens from 24 sites isolated a well‐defined characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) direction on AF and thermal demagnetization in seven host carbonate and 14 ore mineralization sites from the Galmoy Zn–Pb deposit. Thermal decay and saturation remanence data show that the ChRM is carried dominantly by single domain magnetite. Palaeomagnetic field stability tests indicate a post‐brecciation and post‐folding ChRM. The ChRM directions from the host rock and mineralized sites are indistinguishable at 95% confidence and give a palaeopole at 41.5°S, 8.4°W (dp = 1.5°, dm = 3.0°) with an age of 290 ± 9 Ma on the Laurentian apparent polar wander path. This Early Permian age at Galmoy records Variscan orogenesis and suggests an epigenetic model in which mineralization occurred during cooling from the regional Variscan thermal episode.     

Paleomagnetism of the Society Cliffs dolostone and the age of the Nanisivik zinc deposits, Baffin Island, Canada

Dolostones of the ∼1200 Ma Society Cliffs Formation within the hydrothermal zone surrounding the Nanisivik zinc deposits retain a stable characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) on alternating field and thermal step demagnetization. Based on the thermal data and saturation isothermal remanence analyses, the ChRM resides in pseudosingle domain magnetite and hematite. A paleomagnetic fold test favours a post-folding ChRM, and a paleomagnetic contact test, using a Franklin gabbro dike, indicates that the ChRM predates ∼720 Ma. The pole position calculated from the ChRM direction is at 168.2°E, 42.8°N (δ_p=4.9°, δ_m=6.8°), giving an age of 1095 ± 10 Ma on the well-defined “Logan Loop” portion of the North American apparent polar wander path. This age is considered to date recrystallization of the dolostone host rocks in the halo around the hydrothermal sulfide deposits. No evidence is found for a postulated Cretaceous remagnetization event in the region. Received: 9 January 1999 / Accepted: 3 March 2000     

Depositional magnetization of Carboniferous Limestones from the Craven Basin of northern England

Carboniferous Limestones in the Craven Basin of northern England carry a stable natural remanent magnetization (NRM) the intensity of which is facies dependent. Dark argillaceous limestones are most strongly magnetized and pure, pale coloured limestones most weakly magnetized. Partial thermal and alternating field demagnetization suggest that magnetite is the principal carrier of the remanence although some haematite is present in the limestone. The presence of magnetite is confirmed by the low temperature transition, isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM build-up curves) and microprobe analysis. Partial demagnetization of IRM and ARM suggest that the magnetite is relatively coarse grained and in the multidomain state. There are no indications of pseudo-single domain behaviour but magnetite of this type cannot be excluded as a possible remanence carrier. A grain size estimate of 10–20 μm based on coercive force and remanent coercive force is compatible with the theoretical consideration of grain size. The limestones show a weak but marked magnetic susceptibility anisotropy. This anisotropy defines a depositional fabric which indicates that the magnetization is a depositional remanent magnetization (DRM). A DRM was acquired by each specimen before compaction and cementation and was preserved because of the reducing conditions which prevailed in the early diagenetic environments of the limestones.     

烃类的化学吸附作用对岩石剩磁稳定性的影响

通过对细粒天然磁铁矿的穆斯堡尔谱研究和对华北冀东油田第三系砂岩样品的磁性载体成分、成因、剩磁稳定性和特征剩磁方向的研究，探讨了烃类的化学吸附作用与岩石剩磁稳定性之间的关系，烃类的化学吸附作用能够降低岩石的剩磁稳定性，因此，可能会导致产生次生剩磁。这一认识为客观全面地了解各种次生剩磁的成因、研究重磁化现象的时空分布规律，进而为探索新的磁清洗方法和应用岩石磁学方法研究含油气地层的地质问题提供了新的思路     

龙门山南段二叠系—下三叠统的古地磁研究

为了约束龙门山南段的构造运动特征,文章对龙门山南段大川镇附近的下三叠统飞仙关组淡紫灰色泥岩、粉砂岩和宝兴地区的二叠系灰岩开展了古地磁研究。古地磁样品取自10个采样点,其中3个采点为二叠系灰岩;7个采点为飞仙关组淡紫灰色泥岩、粉砂岩。对样品开展了逐步热退磁、岩石磁学（等温剩磁获得曲线和三轴等温剩磁热退磁）及扫描电镜实验。80个样品进行的逐步热退磁实验结果显示,二叠系灰岩样品未分离出稳定的特征剩磁;飞仙关组样品分离出了稳定的特征剩磁,并通过了广义褶皱检验,其特征剩磁的平均方向为：Ds=36.9°,Is=16.5°,α95=5.9°,K=33.8,N=18,对应的古地磁极投在了华南视极移曲线的早三叠世段附近。岩石磁学实验结果表明飞仙关组样品的载磁矿物为磁铁矿,扫描电镜观察展示其为碎屑状的铁氧化物,且无明显成岩后自生特征。结合退磁曲线特征,扫描电镜微观特征,特征剩磁的古地磁极位置和岩石磁学结果,飞仙关组样品的特征剩磁很可能为原生剩磁。该结果表明龙门山褶皱冲断带与四川盆地的没有明显地相对构造旋转运动,自晚三叠世以来,其与龙门山北段以及四川盆地在动力学上是统一的构造单元。     

Opaque mineralogy and magnetic properties of selected banded iron‐formations,Hamersley Basin,Western Australia

The oxide mineralogy and rock magnetic properties of unmineralised banded iron‐formations in selected portions of four drillholes in the Hamersley Basin, Western Australia are reviewed. In all four drillholes, petrographic studies indicate that primary euhedral to subhedral hematite is partially replaced by magnetite as a result of subsolidus reduction. All drillholes show partial recrystallisation of the secondary magnetite, suggesting that early subsolidus reduction was probably a regional event occurring during prograde metamorphism. Incomplete replacement of primary hematite by magnetite within and between sedimentary band structures indicates that equilibration in the magnetite stability field was not reached even at the mesoband scale. Subsequent subsolidus oxidation of magnetite and the formation of a second‐generation hematite are documented in only two of the drillholes. Goethite‐filled veins and thick selvages of goethite around some veins reflect movement of circulating oxidising fluids. The absence of goethite and second‐generation hematite in two of the drillholes indicates that subsolidus oxidation is not a regional event, but very much localised. Rapid changes in down‐hole susceptibility measurements correlate directly with detailed petrographic results as susceptibility readings change with the hematite/magnetite ratio on a mesoband scale. Acquisition of the main remanence correlates with the formation of hematite as the primary oxide phase followed by partial replacement by magnetite as a result of subsolidus reduction, supporting regional models requiring pre‐folding remanence. The strong orientation of the primary hematite parent parallel to band structures in the banded iron‐formations has influenced the direction of crystallisation remanent magnetisation during subsolidus reduction to the magnetite daughter. The strong planar alignment has also produced a planar magnetic fabric and marked anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility. A natural remanent magnetisation overprint and reduction in anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility are only recorded in samples that have undergone subsolidus oxidation and the recognition of localised post‐metamorphic oxidation overprinting can also explain ore deposit models requiring post‐folding remanence. The relative timing of and between oxidising fluid events is not known, but both petrographic and rock magnetic evidence to date suggests that there was at least one and probably two post‐folding oxidising events in the area of study.     

A Preliminary Study on Paleomagnetism and Rock Magnetism of Eclogite from the Maobei Area

A preliminary study of paleomagnetism and rock magnetism has been done on 55 eclogite samples collected from the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling (CCSD) site at the Maobei (毛北) area, Donghai (东海) County, Jiangsu (江苏) Province. Also the isothermal remanence, hysteresis loop, magnetic fabric, thermal susceptibility were measured, and analyses were made by electron-probe and scanning electric microscope on some samples synchronously. The result indicates that there are two groups of stable remanence, the normal and reversed magnetization. The remanence orientations are: D=94.3o, I=-29.1o and D=273.7o, I=15.4o, respectively. The magnetization intensity and the density of the samples which carry the normal magnetization are very different from those bearing reversed magnetization. The magnetic anisotropy is weak, and the minimum axis is hardly determined. The isothermal remanence and the hysteresis loop show that the magnetic carriers of the eclogite are likely SD (single domain) and PSD (pseudo-single domain) magnetite. According to the magnetic property, the cause of formation of magnetic carriers, the mechanism of the remanence, and the significance for the tectonics are discussed.
