长江三角洲DY03孔沉积物元素地球化学及其物源示踪意义

长江三角洲地区是寻找长江历史演化信息的关键地区之一。本文通过DY03孔长时间序列元素地球化学的研究,利用元素地球化学特征示踪物源变化,初步揭示长江三角洲地区物源变化的总体情况,分析讨论长江三角洲地区沉积记录对长江贯通的指示意义。研究发现,在晚上新世31Ma左右时期,钻孔中指示物源变化的 K₂O/Al₂O₃, SiO₂/Al₂O₃, Zr/Ti,Th/Sc,Th/Co,Th/Cr,Nb/Co等元素比值都发生由高到低的显著变化,而3.1Ma之后元素比值变化不大。化学风化A-CN-K图解也进一步说明在3.1Ma前后,沉积物具有不同的化学风化趋势。以上特征说明,在晚上新世时期本区物源曾发生重大变化,表现为沉积物来源由近源转变为远源,源岩由酸性长英质矿物为主转变为基性矿物为主。这次物源变化很可能说明最早在晚上新世长江上游物质已经通过长江三峡输送到现代长江三角洲地区。

华南沿海地表红土地球化学特性变异的自然因素与人类活动干预

文章对珠江三角洲和粤西地区地表表层红土的地球化学指标和矿物学指标进行了研究。研究结果表明,全岩的化学蚀变指数(CIA)值主要代表自然作用下化学风化的强度;而硅铝率(或Al₂O₃SiO₂比值)和(高岭石+伊利石)石英比值在全岩研究中代表化学风化与侵蚀作用的共同强度;Al₂O₃SiO₂比值与CIA值的相关关系可以作为区分化学风化作用自然因素变化与侵蚀作用加剧的一种新的分析方法:当样品CIA值异常偏离趋势线时,反映出自然化学风化作用的异常变化,而Al₂O₃SiO₂比值的异常偏离则可能反映了表层侵蚀作用的加剧;结合当地自然环境和人类活动的特点,可以推断人为因素对表层红土剖面地球化学特征变异的干预和对侵蚀作用加剧的贡献

应用XRF-SEM-XRD-FTIR等分析测试技术研究丽水蓝色类欧泊(蛋白石)的矿物学与光学特征

直至目前,我国相关欧泊的矿藏及其相应的矿物学特征鲜见报道,近期在浙江丽水缙云地区发现的蓝色类欧泊石引起了宝玉石科研工作者的广泛关注,但此矿物的相关研究至今尚未见论述。本文应用X射线荧光光谱(XRF)、场发射扫描电镜(FE-SEM)结合X射线粉晶衍射(XRD)与傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)等多种综合检测技术首次对该类蓝色原矿的矿物学及光学变彩性质进行研究。结果表明:XRF分析显示蓝色原矿的主体化学组成为SiO₂(质量含量95%),仅含极少量的Fe₂O₃与Al₂O₃等杂质。同时,蓝色原矿及其相应的热处理后样品局部区域具有明显的变彩特征,主体的化学组成与其光学特征与天然欧泊的组成及变彩效应类同。XRD分析显示原矿粉体的无机相的晶型为方石英相,衍射峰形锐化,该晶体的结构特征明显相异于天然欧泊即微晶类的蛋白石(Opal-CT)、Opal-C与非晶蛋白石类(Opal-A)。此外,样品的红外光谱与天然欧泊间存在一定的频率位移。鉴于此,初步将该类原矿归属为类欧泊,因蓝色原矿所在地丽水缙云地区属于中生代陆相火山岩的地质,因此进一步将该原矿命名为一类火山岩类的类欧泊石,而有关此类欧泊是否可以归属为广义上的欧泊有待再作商榷。同时基于对蓝色原矿有无变彩效应区域的FE-SEM测试结论,本文初步推测该类矿物的光学变彩特征与原矿表面的“叠瓦状”结构形貌有关。

Raman identification of calcite grains in the Chelyabinsk meteorite

Samples of the Chelyabinsk meteorite fallen in February 15, 2013, near Chelyabinsk, Russia, are analyzed by Raman spectroscopy. Olivines (forsterite), orthopyoxenes (enstatite), plagioclases (albite), iron oxides and sulfides, as well as calcite and, possibly, parisite were identified among mineral phases. Results were verified using scanning electron microscope with an energy-dispersive system (SEM-EDX). Data were compared with available materials on calcites from ordinary meteorites.     

The study of chemical composition of 35 iron meteorites and its application in taxonomy

Reported in this paper are structural and compositional data as the basis for the classification of 35 iron meteorites. The Xingjiang iron meteorite, previously labelled IIIAB, is reclassified as IIIE on the basis of its lower Ga/Ni and Ge/Ni ratios, its wider and swollen kamacite bands and the ubiquitous presence of haxonite, (Fe, Ni)₂₃C. IIICD Dongling appears not to be a new meteorite, but to be paired with Nandan. Four Antarctic iron meteorites IAB Allan Hills A77250, A77263, A77289 and A77290 are classified as paired meteorites based on their similarities in structure, and the concentrations of Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Ga, Ge, As, Sb, W, Re, Ir and Au. It is found that Cu shares certain properties with Ga and Ge, which makes it an excellent taxonomic parameter. BecauseK _Cu is near unity, Cu displays a small range of variation within most magmatic groups (less than a factor of 2.2) and, because of its high volatility, large variations can be noticed among groups.     

Mechanisms of weathering of meteorites recovered from hot and cold deserts and the formation of phyllosilicates

Petrographic, mineralogical and chemical analysis of naturally weathered equilibrated ordinary chondrites collected from ‘ hot’ deserts and Antarctica has revealed striking similarities and also pronounced differences in weathering between the two environments. Terrestrial weathering in all meteorites studied is dominated by oxidation and hydration of Fe,Ni metal, producing Fe-oxides and oxyhydroxides that have partially replaced the metal grains and have also occluded primary intergranular pores to form veins. Troilite weathers readily in ‘ hot’ desert environments but undergoes very little alteration under Antarctic conditions. Most of the primary porosity of ordinary chondrites has been occluded by the time that ∼ 15 to 25% of the initial Fe⁰ and Fe²⁺ has been oxidised to Fe³⁺ in both environments. Results from modelling the volume changes upon alteration of primary minerals to a range of weathering products demonstrates that the primary porosity of most meteorites is sufficient to accommodate weathering products. Dilation of primary pores and brecciation, which has been observed in parts of some meteorites, will only occur if the meteorite is especially metal-rich, or has a low primary porosity. These weathering products are absent from recent falls but have formed in a fall after ∼ 100 yr of museum storage.Cl-bearing akaganéite and hibbingite are common weathering products in Antarctic finds but occur in abundance in only one ‘ hot’ desert meteorite, Daraj 014. The majority of Fe-rich weathering products in meteorites from both environments contain low, but variable concentrations of Si, Mg and Ca. In most meteorites a proportion of these elements are inferred to be present as a very finely crystalline mineral with a ∼ 1.0-nm lattice fringe spacing; where seen within intragranular fractures this mineral has a topotactic relationship with olivine and orthopyroxene. In the heavily-weathered Antarctic finds ALHA 78045 and 77002, Si is concentrated in cronstedtite, a Fe-rich phyllosilicate. An unidentified hydrous Si-Fe-Ni-Mg mineral or gel has also partially replaced taenite in ALHA 78045. In addition to Fe-rich weathering products, ‘ hot’ desert meteorites contain sulphates, Ca-carbonate and silica, whereas such minerals are largely absent from Antarctic finds. The abundance of silicate weathering products in Antarctic meteorites is unexpected and indicates that olivine and pyroxene undergo significant chemical weathering in these environments. As preterrestrial cronstedtite is abundant in CM2 carbonaceous chondrites, the Antarctic environment may be a powerful analog for aqueous alteration in the asteroidal parent bodies of primitive meteorites.     

南海钻孔岩心中磁性小球体的研究

在我国南海某钻孔晚第三纪和早第四纪的岩心中发现了大量具有磁性的小球体。初步研究表明,这些球粒的各种特性类似于叶连俊等1964年发现于十亿年前震旦系地层中的宇宙尘,也类似于彭汉昌等前不久发现于深海中的宇宙尘^[2]。它们很可能是铁陨星穿越地球大气层时碎裂熔融的最终产物。     

南极陨石GRV 022115冲击熔融脉矿物学研究

文章主要通过电子探针、扫描电镜、激光拉曼光谱、透射电镜等微区微分析技术研究GRV 022115球粒陨石的基础矿物学特征和冲击变质矿物学特征，探讨陨石冲击熔融脉的形成机制和界定其母体的冲击条件。陨石主岩主要由橄榄石、辉石、熔长石、铁镍金属和硫化物等矿物组成。根据主岩的硅酸盐矿物学特征，确定GRV 022115是风化程度较低（W1） 的L6型普通球粒陨石，与前期分类结果一致。根据熔融脉内含有大量林伍德石的现象，修正GRV 022115陨石的冲击级别为S6，比原定的S5高一个级别。GRV 022115球粒陨石中有多条冲击熔融脉，熔融脉由基质和主岩碎块包裹体两类岩相组组成。熔融脉基质的主要组成是微米级粒状镁铁榴石与纳米级的含铁方镁石，是在平衡冲击压力下结晶的产物。冲击熔融脉主岩碎块包裹体中的橄榄石、低钙辉石、长石碎块已部分或全部转为相对应的高压相。橄榄石相变为林伍德石；个别低钙辉石相变为钙钛矿结构布里奇曼石微晶的集合体；长石主要相变为熔长石与玲根石。几乎所有的主岩碎块都有高温熔融的圆滑边界。熔融脉内外同类矿物的主量和微量元素具有一定的差异性，该差异性可以反映高温高压下混溶作用和扩散作用的影响。结合陨石冲击熔融脉形成机制和结晶模型，根据熔脉基质中镁铁榴石+方镁石矿物组合及静态高温高压实验相图，界定该陨石经受的冲击压力为23~27 GPa。     

Quantitative mineralogical and chemical assessment of the Nkout iron ore deposit,Southern Cameroon

The Nkout deposit is part of an emerging iron ore province in West and Central Africa. The deposit is an oxide facies iron formation comprising fresh magnetite banded iron formation (BIF) at depth, which weathers and oxidises towards the surface forming caps of high grade hematite/martite–goethite ores. The mineral species, compositions, mineral associations, and liberation have been studied using automated mineralogy (QEMSCAN^®) combined with whole rock geochemistry, mineral chemistry and mineralogical techniques. Drill cores (saprolitic, lateritic, BIF), grab and outcrop samples were studied and divided into 4 main groups based on whole rock Fe content and a weathering index. The groups are; enriched material (EM), weathered magnetite itabirite (WMI), transitional magnetite itabirite (TMI) and magnetite itabirite (MI). The main iron minerals are the iron oxides (magnetite, hematite, and goethite) and chamosite. The iron oxides are closely associated in the high grade cap and liberation of them individually is poor. Liberation increases when they are grouped together as iron oxides. Chamosite significantly lowers the liberation of the iron oxides. Automated mineralogy by QEMSCAN^® (or other similar techniques) can distinguish between Fe oxides if set up and calibrated carefully using the backscattered electron signal. Electron beam techniques have the advantage over other quantitative mineralogy techniques of being able to determine mineral chemical variants of ore and gangue minerals, although reflected light optical microscopy remains the most sensitive method of distinguishing closely related iron oxide minerals. Both optical and electron beam automated mineralogical methods have distinct advantages over quantitative XRD in that they can determine mineral associations, liberation, amorphous phases and trace phases.

Comments on the paper ‘Subduction of a fossil slow–ultraslow spreading ocean: a petrology-constrained geodynamic model based on the Voltri Massif,Ligurian Alps,NW Italy’ by G. B. Piccardo

Analyses were made of samples of the several classes of iron meteorites: (hexahedrites, octahedrites, ataxites, and troilite inclusions) in further study of the isotopic composition of primordial lead and toward establishing correlation between the distribution of lead among the mineral inclusions and the nickel-iron mass of the meteorite. Two groups of iron meteorites can be distinguished on the basis of isotopic composition lead suggesting two ages for the parent bodies of common iron meteorites. The distribution of lead in iron meteorites ranges markedly but no relation could be found between isotopic composition of lead and the several structures and compositions. The content of lead in troilites are one or two orders of magnitude higher than in the nickel-iron phase.-- M. Russell.
