甘肃白银厂铜多金属矿田折腰山矿床含铁硅质岩地球化学特征及其找矿意义

折腰山矿区含铁硅质岩赋存于含矿岩系与上部岩系间的沉积间断界面。含铁硅质岩矿物主要由细晶石英和赤铁矿组成,二者含量占90%以上,含少量的绢云母、钠长石、绿泥石等。该含铁硅质岩具有低的TiO2、A12O3和高的成矿元素（Fe、Cu、Pb、Zn）含量特征。Al/（Al＋Fe＋Mn）值具有热水沉积岩特征。在Fe-Mn-Al三角图解、Fe-Mn-（Cu＋Co＋Ni）×10三角图解和Zr-Cr图解中,该区含铁硅质岩均落在热水沉积岩区域中,含铁硅质岩的稀土元素总量很低,其北美页岩标准化配分模式为右倾曲线,具有弱的负Eu异常或正Eu异常和负Ce异常。部分样品MnO/TiO2值偏小,U/Th值偏大,Al2O3含量较高,出现负Eu异常,表明该矿区含铁硅质岩也有正常沉积硅质岩成分的加入。结合含铁硅质岩的地质产状、含矿岩系（石英角斑质凝灰岩）和含矿石英的稀土元素特征,认为含铁硅质岩的物源主要为石英角斑质凝灰岩,属于与火山作用有关的非生物成因类型,是该铜多金属矿田重要的找矿标志。

古盐度对塔北隆起泥岩中粘土矿物组合和绿泥石成分的影响

粘土矿物组合和绿泥石成分常被用来讨论盆地沉积物的成岩作用和埋藏古温度。许多沉积盆地的研究结果显示,泥 岩和页岩中的粘土矿物组合和绿泥石的成分与埋藏深度/温度有关。但也见有例外的现象存在。文中主要探讨了新疆塔北隆 起泥岩中的粘土矿物组合和绿泥石成分的特征,以及与盆地古盐度的关系。研究结果表明：（1）在塔北隆起泥岩中,埋藏 深度2777.37~4604.41m,地层单位为J1-N2的粘土矿物组合为I+Chl和I+Chl+Ka; 埋藏深度5071.52~5299.37m,地层单位为 T1的粘土矿物组合为R0I/S+I+Chl和R0I/S+Chl。（2）研究区的成岩绿泥石为Ⅱb型铁镁绿泥石,其成分特征主要表现为： ①配位八面体中阳离子的占位数为11.532(总平均值);②ⅥAl含量明显大于ⅣAl含量;③（Fe+Mg）为4.016（总平均值）;④ Si/Al比值>1。（3）根据研究区盐类矿物的分布范围以及古盐度的数据,讨论了古盐度对该区粘土矿物组合和绿泥石成分的 影响,指出古盐度是影响本区粘土矿物组合和绿泥石成分变化的主要因素。用古盐度解释了<5000m深度的粘土矿物组合 中不含无序伊/蒙混层（R0I/S）矿物,而>5000m深度粘土矿物组合中含有无序伊/蒙混层（R0I/S）矿物的异常现象。揭示了 在一定的深度范围（2777.37~4405.27m）,一定的古盐度条件下（Sr/Ba比值≥0.4,并有盐类矿物出现）,绿泥石成分受到 古盐度的制约,并且随着古盐度的增高,绿泥石成分中的Al、ⅣAl、Na、Na2O、Al/Si随之增高,而Si/Al则随之降低。由 绿泥石成分温度计获得的温度值也伴随着古盐度的增高而增高。因此,由绿泥石成分温度计所计算的温度不能代表本区实 际埋藏的古温度。（4）研究区内绿泥石成分中的SiO2和FeO与母岩的对应成分之间有一定的相关性,其SiO2绿泥石与SiO2岩石、 FeO绿泥石与FeO岩石呈负相关的线性关系,并且这种关系在古盐度的干扰下也未受到影响。     

古盐度对塔北隆起泥岩中绿泥石成分的影响

绿泥石是沉积岩、变质岩和热液蚀变岩石中的常见矿物。绿泥石的化学成分记录了它在形成过程中的物理化学条件。不同成因的绿泥石在成分上显示出一定的差异。由成岩作用形成的绿泥石的成分表现为:具有较高的Si含量、较低的(Fe+Mg)含量和较低的八面体位置离子占位数。这些特征可与变质作用、热液蚀变作用形成的绿泥石相区别。很多研究者对绿泥石的热力学性质进行了实验和理论研究,并将其成果应用于实验或自然体系中。人们发现绿泥石成分与绿泥石形成的温度之间存在着确定的关系。例如自生绿泥石成分中AlⅣ与温度之间存在显著的线性关系。成岩绿泥石在递增埋藏/加热的条件下,其成分中的Al/Si值趋于增加,Si含量趋于减少,(Fe+Mg)含量趋于增多,八面体位置离子占位数趋于增加,并且伴有AlⅣ含量的增加和AlⅥ含量的减少。由此,产生了众所周知的绿泥石成分温度计。人们利用绿泥石成分温度计来获取盆地的埋藏古温度及其热演化信息。但有的学者认为温度不是影响绿泥石成分变化的主要/唯一因素。有人指出绿泥石的成分主要取决于岩石的化学成分,而非温度。另有人提出p H、Fe/(Fe+Mg),以及岩石成分等参数都会对绿泥石的成分产生影响。由上述的研究现状来看,在埋藏成岩作用期间,绿泥石成分的演化机理依然存在着不完善性。外界的不同地质条件必将对沉积盆地的成岩作用带来影响,而揭示出影响盆地成岩作用的主要因素则是目前从事盆地研究工作的学者十分关注的问题。本论文主要探讨了新疆塔北隆起泥岩中的绿泥石成分的特征,以及与盆地古盐度的关系。研究结果表明:研究区的成岩绿泥石为Ⅱb型铁镁绿泥石,其成分特征主要表现为:1)配位八面体中阳离子的占位数为11.532(总平均值);2)AlⅥ含量明显大于AlⅣ含量;3)(Fe+Mg)为4.016(总平均值);4)Si/Al值1。由本区盐类矿物的分布范围,以及古盐度的数据,本论文讨论了古盐度对本区绿泥石成分的影响。指出古盐度是影响本区绿泥石成分变化的主要因素。揭示了在一定的深度范围(2 777.37~4 405.27 m),一定的古盐度条件下(Sr/Ba值≥0.4,并有盐类矿物出现),绿泥石成分受到古盐度的制约。并且古盐度越高,对绿泥石成分的影响越大。随着古盐度的增高,绿泥石成分中的Al、AlⅣ、Na、Na2O、Al/Si随之增高,而Si/Al则随之降低。由绿泥石成分温度计获得的温度值也伴随着古盐度的增高而增高。因此,由绿泥石成分温度计所计算的温度不能代表本区实际埋藏的古温度。本区绿泥石成分中的Si O2和Fe O与母岩的对应成分之间有一定的相关性,其Si O2绿泥石与Si O2岩石、FeO绿泥石与FeO岩石呈负相关的线性关系,并且这种关系在古盐度的干扰下也未受到影响。     

低温绿泥石成分温度计Fe/(Fe+Mg)校正的必要性问题

绿泥石是沉积岩、低级变质岩和水热蚀变岩中的常见矿物,基于四次配位Al含量的绿泥石成分温度计是确定古成岩或变质温度的最主要的手段之一。介绍了四种应用最为广泛的绿泥石成分温度计的原理,并从离子替代规律和比较研究的角度着重讨论了近年来关于绿泥石成分温度计校正的必要性。研究表明,在铝饱和的条件下,根据绿泥石中的Fe/(Fe Mg)值对绿泥石温度计进行校正并不能使计算值与实际值更为接近,而且从晶体化学的角度看,全岩的Fe/(Fe Mg)主要影响的是绿泥石中六次配位Fe与Mg的占位,而且偶合置换(Si4 )Ⅳ(Mg2 )Ⅵ—(Al3 )Ⅳ(Al3 )Ⅵ和(Si4 )Ⅳ(Fe2 )Ⅵ—(Al3 )Ⅳ(Al3 )Ⅵ共同控制着四次配位Al的占位。所以在铝饱和的岩石体系中可不必进行Fe/(Fe Mg)值的校正。

本文对鄂尔多斯盆地镇泾区块上三叠统延长组长8油层组砂岩中绿泥石矿物的类型、赋存状态、形成时间、晶体化学特征及成因机制进行了较为系统的研究.结果表明研究区的绿泥石以铁镁绿泥石和铁斜绿泥石为主,包括陆源碎屑绿泥石、自生绿泥石和蚀变绿泥石3种,自生绿泥石又包括颗粒包膜、孔隙衬里和孔隙充填绿泥石3种,以孔隙衬里绿泥石为主,形成时间依次为:颗粒包膜绿泥石→孔隙衬里绿泥石→孔隙充填绿泥石,蚀变绿泥石的形成可贯穿于整个成岩阶段.不同类型绿泥石的晶体化学特征、分布规律和成因机制各异.陆源碎屑绿泥石是与碎屑颗粒一起搬运沉积的产物,主要分布于水动力较弱的沉积环境中,其Fe、Mg、Mn和AlⅥ含量最高,Si、Ca和AlⅥ含量最低.蚀变绿泥石具较高含量的Fe、Mg和AlⅣ,较低含量的Si、Ca和AlⅥ,因主要由富铁镁碎屑蚀变而来,分布与其具空间上的耦合性.自生绿泥石的Fe、Mg和AlⅥ含量最低,Si、Ca和AlⅥ含量最高,孔隙衬里绿泥石较孔隙充填绿泥石含较高含量的Fe和K及较低含量的Ca和Mg,且从碎屑颗粒边缘到孔隙中心方向其Fe、Mg、AlⅥ和六次配位阳离子总数逐渐增加,K、Si、AlⅥ含量逐渐减少.颗粒包膜和孔隙衬里绿泥石主要见于辫状河三角洲前缘水下分流河道和分流河口砂坝中,其所需铁镁物质由同沉积絮凝含铁镁沉积物溶解提供;孔隙充填绿泥石的分布受控于砂岩结构,砂岩粒度越粗、孔喉结构越好越有利于其发育,所需铁镁物质由泥岩压释水提供.     

粤东新寮岽铜多金属矿床绿泥石特征及其地质意义

新寮岽铜多金属矿是近年来在粤东地区新发现的一个铜矿床,在该矿区绿泥石化十分强烈,并与铜矿化关系密切。按照矿物共生组合关系,矿区绿泥石可分为与硫化物共(伴)生及未与硫化物共(伴)生呈单独产出两类,两类绿泥石主要呈叶片状、纤维状、蠕虫集合体状等形态产出。本文在岩矿鉴定的基础上,以矿区绿泥石为研究对象,利用电子探针技术,对其微区化学成分进行了研究。结果表明：随着孔深的增加,与矿化有关绿泥石的Si和Mg元素含量逐渐升高,Al、Fe、Mn元素含量逐渐降低,而与矿化无关的绿泥石成分变化规律不明显。两类绿泥石主要为富铁种属的蠕绿泥石、铁镁绿泥石;绿泥石为泥质岩或者铁镁质岩受热液交代蚀变的产物,绿泥石结构的离子置换主要体现为Fe对Mg的置换,反映其可能形成于富铁及相对酸性环境;由绿泥石地质温度计估算得出两类绿泥石形成温度为166.32～245.62℃,平均为219.15℃,且与硫化物共(伴)生的绿泥石的形成温度相对较高,但两者均属中-低温范围。绿泥石的形成机制主要表现为溶蚀-结晶和溶蚀-迁移-沉淀结晶2种。

Fluid flow and Al transport during quartz-kyanite vein formation, Unst, Shetland Islands, Scotland

Quartz‐kyanite veins, adjacent alteration selvages and surrounding ‘precursor’ wall rocks in the Dalradian Saxa Vord Pelite of Unst in the Shetland Islands (Scotland) were investigated to constrain the geochemical alteration and mobility of Al associated with channelized metamorphic fluid infiltration during the Caledonian Orogeny. Thirty‐eight samples of veins, selvages and precursors were collected, examined using the petrographic microscope and electron microprobe, and geochemically analysed. With increasing grade, typical precursor mineral assemblages include, but are not limited to, chlorite+chloritoid, chlorite+chloritoid+kyanite, chlorite+chloritoid+staurolite and garnet+staurolite+kyanite+chloritoid. These assemblages coexist with quartz, white mica (muscovite, paragonite, margarite), and Fe‐Ti oxides. The mineral assemblage of the selvages does not change noticeably with metamorphic grade, and consists of chloritoid, kyanite, chlorite, quartz, white mica and Fe‐Ti oxides. Pseudosections for selvage and precursor bulk compositions indicate that the observed mineral assemblages were stable at regional metamorphic conditions of 550–600 °C and 0.8–1.1 GPa. A mass balance analysis was performed to assess the nature and magnitude of geochemical alteration that produced the selvages adjacent to the veins. On average, selvages lost about −26% mass relative to precursors. Mass losses of Na, K, Ca, Rb, Sr, Cs, Ba and volatiles were −30 to −60% and resulted from the destruction of white mica. Si was depleted from most selvages and transported locally to adjacent veins; average selvage Si losses were about −50%. Y and rare earth elements were added due to the growth of monazite in cracks cutting apatite. The mass balance analysis also suggests some addition of Ti occurred, consistent with the presence of rutile and hematite‐ilmenite solid solutions in veins. No major losses of Al from selvages were observed, but Al was added in some cases. Consequently, the Al needed to precipitate vein kyanite was not derived locally from the selvages. Veins more than an order of magnitude thicker than those typically observed in the field would be necessary to accommodate the Na and K lost from the selvages during alteration. Therefore, regional transport of Na and K out of the local rock system is inferred. In addition, to account for the observed abundances of kyanite in the veins, large fluid‐rock ratios (10²–10³ m³_fluid m⁻³_rock) and time‐integrated fluid fluxes in excess of ∼10⁴ m³_fluid m⁻²_rock are required owing to the small concentrations of Al in aqueous fluids. It is concluded that the quartz‐kyanite veins and their selvages were produced by regional‐scale advective mass transfer by means of focused fluid flow along a thrust fault zone. The results of this study provide field evidence for considerable Al mass transport at greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphic conditions, possibly as a result of elevated concentrations of Al in metamorphic fluids due to alkali‐Al silicate complexing at high pressures.     

Experimental study of chloritoid stability at high pressure and various fO2 conditions

The reaction chloritoid (ctd)=almandine (alm)+diaspore+H₂O (CAD) has been reversed using Fe³⁺-free synthetic chloritoid and almandine, under fO₂ conditions of the solid oxygen buffer Fe/FeO (CADWI), and using partially oxidized synthetic minerals under fO₂ conditions of the solid oxygen buffer Ni/NiO (CADNNO). Experiments have been conducted between 550 and 700°C, 25 and 45 kbar. The equilibrium pressure and temperature conditions are strongly dependent on the fO₂ conditions (CADNNO lies some-what 50°C higher than CADWI). This can be explained by a decrease in aH₂O for experiments conducted on the Fe/FeO buffer, and a decrease in actd and aalm (through incorporation of ferric iron preferentially in chloritoid) for experiments conducted on the Ni/NiO buffer. The H₂O activity has been calculated using the MRK equation of state, and the values obtained checked against the shift of the equilibrium diaspore=corundum+H₂O bracketed on the Fe/FeO buffer and under unbuffered fO₂ conditions. For fO₂ buffered by the assemblage Fe/FeO, aH₂O increases with pressure from about 0.85 at 600°C, 12 kbar to about 0.9 at 605°C, 25 kbar and 1 above 28 kbar. For fO₂ buffered by the assemblage Ni/NiO, aH₂O=1. The aH₂O decrease from Ni/NiO to Fe/FeO is, however, too small to be entirely responsible for the temperature shift between CADNNO and CADWI. In consequence, the amount of ferric iron in almandine and chloritoid growing in the CADNNO experiments must be significant and change along the CADNNO, precluding calculation of the thermodynamic properties of chloritoid from this reaction. Our experimental data obtained on the Fe/FeO buffer are combined, using a thermodynamic analysis, with Ganguly's (1969) reversal of the reaction chloritoid=almandine+corundum +H₂O (CAC) on the same oxygen buffer. Experimental brackets are mutually consistent and allow extraction of the thermodynamic parameters H ^o f,ctd and S ^octd. Our thermodynamic data are compared with others, generally calculated using Ganguly's bracketing of CACNNO. The agreement between the different data sets is relatively good at low pressure, but becomes rapidly very poor toward high pressure conditions. Using our thermodynamic data for chloritoid and K_D=(Fe³⁺/Al)ctd/(Fe³⁺/Al)alm estimated from natural assemblages, we have calculated the composition of chloritoid and almandine growing from CADNNO and CACNNO. The Fe³⁺ content in chloritoid and almandine increases with pressure, from less than 0.038 per FeAl₂SiO₅(OH)₂ formula unit at 10 kbar to at least 0.2 per formula unit above 30 kbar. This implies that chloritoid and almandine do contain Fe³⁺ in most natural assemblages. The reliability of our results compared to natural systems and thermodynamic data for Mg-chloritoid is tested by comparing the equilibrium conditions for the reaction chloritoid+quartz=garnet (gt)+kyanite+H₂O (CQGK), calculated for intermediate Fe–Mg chloritoid and garnet compositions, from the system FASH and from the system MASH. For 0.65<(XFe)gt<0.8, CQKG calculated from FASH and MASH overlap for K_D=(Mg/Fe)ctd/(Mg/Fe)gt=2. This is in good agreement with the K_D values reported from chloritoid+garnet+quartz+kyanite natural assemblages.     

A field and theoretical analysis of garnet+chlorite+chloritoid+biotite assemblages from the tri-state (MA,CT, NY) area,USA

The prograde evolution of minerals in metapelites of a Barrovian sequence from the tri-state area (Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York) of the Taconic Range involves assemblages with garnet (Ga), chlorite (Ch), chloritoid (Ct), biotite (Bi) and staurolite (St). Detailed petrologic observations, mineral compositions and chemical zoning in garnet show: (1) garnet high in Mn and Fe but low in Mg is stable with chlorite at grades below those where chloritoid+biotite is found; (2) early formed garnet reacted partially to form Ct+Bi at intermediate grades; (3) at higher grades garnet (with low Mn)+chlorite is again produced, at the expense of chloritoid+biotite, suggesting a reversal in the continuous reaction involving the phases Ga, Ch, Ct and Bi. Thermodynamic modeling of the assemblage Ga+Ch+Ct+Bi±St in the MnKFMASH system reveals: (1) in the MnKFASH system the prograde reaction is Ga+Ch=Ct+Bi whereas in the KFMASH system the prograde reaction is the opposite: Ct+Bi=Ga+Ch; (2) the Ga–Ch–Ct–Bi–St invariant point in the KFMASH system occurs twice, at approximately 6.5 kbar, 545° C and 14.8 kbar, 580° C (although one of them may be metastable in a complex phase system); the appearance of the petrogenetic grid is markedly different from that of Albee, but similar to that of Spear and Cheney; (3) as a consequence, in the KFMASH system, chloritoid+biotite are stable over a wide range of P-T conditions whereas garnet+chlorite assemblages are restricted to a narrow band of P-T conditions; (4) MnO increases the stability field of Ga+Ch relative to both Ct+Bi at low temperatures, and St+Bi at high temperatures; (5) in natural samples the occurrence of Ct+Bi is controlled more by bulk Mg–Fe(-Mn) composition than P-T conditions. Specifically, Ct+Bi is restricted to bulk compositions with Fe/(Mg+Fe+Mn)>0.6. Rocks with Fe/(Mg+Fe+Mn)<0.5 are likely to display only chlorite+biotite at low grade. These observations are consistent with Wang and Spear and Spear and Cheney.     

Chloritoid-bearing metapelites associated with glaucophane rocks in western Crete,Greece

Problems related to the formation of chloritoid in metapelites, associated with lawsonite-glaucophane bearing metabasalts, in the quartzitephyllite series of western Crete (Greece) are discussed. It is supposed that chloritoid was formed, during prograde metamorphism, according to a gliding-equilibrium reaction of the type (Fe,Mg)-carpholite₁+chlorite₁ (Fe,Mg)-carpholite_{1 2}+(Fe,Mg)-chloritoid_{1 2} +chlorite_1→2+quartz+H₂O ? (Fe,Mg)-chloritoid₂+chlorite₂+quartz+H₂O. This view is stipulated by the occurrence of ferrocarpholite-chloritoid schists in the southeastern part of central Crete. The assemblage chloritoid+ lawsonite recently recognized in western Crete provides evidence that the formation of chloritoid started well within the stability field of lawsonite.     

Chemographic analysis of assemblages involving pyrophyllite, chloritoid, chlorite, kaolinite, kyanite, quartz: application to metapelites in the Witwatersrand goldfields, South Africa

The Witwatersrand goldfields contain abundant assemblages that include pyrophyllite, chloritoid, chlorite, kaolinite and/or kyanite, with quartz. A chemographic analysis of the system Fe(Mg)-Al-Si-O-H involving these minerals yields 22 potential phase diagrams. Using orientation criteria and thermodynamic calculations as further constraints, this list has been reduced to three possible diagrams. New thermodynamic data favour one of these in particular.
This chemographic analysis demonstrates that formation of chloritoid is not restricted to the breakdown reaction of kaolinite plus chlorite in the F(M)ASH system, as stated by previous studies, but could be from pyrophyllite + chlorite → chloritoid + quartz + H₂O.
The metamorphic temperature variation between Witwatersrand goldfields exceeded 65 C, based on chlorite and chloritoid compositions. The lower and upper pressure limits are constrained by the andalusite to kyanite, and the sudoite/chlorite to carpholite boundaries, i.e. 1.5–2.8, and 7 kbar, respectively. The widespread pyrophyllite, chlorite and Fe-chloritoid in all the Witwatersrand goldfields, and the local occurrence of sudoite indicate a consistent low-pressure environment in which Mg-chloritoid would not be stable.

A petrogenetic grid for pelitic schists in the system SiO2-Al2O3-FeO-MgO-K2O-H2O

A quantitative petrogenetic grid for pelitic schists in the system KFMASH that includes the phases garnet, chlorite, biotite, chloritoid, cordierite, staurolite, talc, kyanite, andalusite, sillimanite, and pyrophyllite (with quartz, H₂O and muscovite or K-feldspar in excess) is presented. The grid is based on thermodynamic data of Berman et al. (1985) and Berman (1988) for endmember KFASH and KMASH equilibria and natural Fe-Mg partitioning for the KFMASH system. Calculation of P-T slopes and the change in Fe/(Fe+Mg) along reactions in the KFMASH system were made using the Gibbs method. In addition, the effect on the grid of MnO and CaO is evaluated quantitatively. The resulting grid is consistent with typical Buchan and Barrovian parageneses at medium to high grades. At low grades, the grid predicts an extensive stability field for the paragenesis chloritoid+biotite which arises because of the unusual facing of the reaction chloritoid+biotite + quartz+H₂O = garnet+chlorite+muscovite, which proceeds to the right with increasing T in the KFMASH system. However, the reaction proceeds to the left with increasing T in the MnKFASH system so the assemblage chloritoid + biotite is restricted to bulk compositions with high Fe/(Fe+Mg+Mn). Typical metapelites will therefore contain garnet+chlorite at low grades rather than chloritoid + biotite.     

An experimental study of the effect of iron on magnesiochloritoid-talc-clinochlore-kyanite stability

The influence of Fe on the reaction clinochlore+kyanite&ding3F;magnesiochloritoid+talc (1) was determined experimentally as a function of pressure (1.6-2.6 GPa) and composition at 600 and 540 °C. Analytical electron microscopy (AEM) was used to determine the compositions of the coexisting phases in these complex multiphase run products. Within the compositional range studied (x_Fe^bulk=0.12-0.34), chlorite solid solutions were always richer in magnesium than the coexisting chloritoid solid solutions. Fractionation of Fe into the chloritoid extends the stability field of the assemblage chloritoid plus talc towards lower pressures. However, the extent of the stability field for increasing x_Fe is less than one would expect for ideal mixing behaviour in chloritoid and chlorite, and indicates a moderate positive deviation from ideality for chloritoid solid solutions. The thermodynamic data for magnesiochloritoid given in two earlier studies are in good agreement with the present experiments, those of a third study yield pressures which are much too high, at least compared with the experiments at 600 °C.     

安徽狸桥地区晚石炭世硅质岩的发现及其地质意义

安徽狸桥地区出露一套硅质建造,其赋存于黄龙组灰岩与五通组石英砂岩之间,呈层状产出,显微镜下主要由隐晶质石英组成,具角砾结构,未见硅质生物,局部有硅化、褐铁矿化现象。其地球化学特征显示,本区硅质岩Si O2含量为93.57%~98.06%(平均为97.22%),∑REE含量低,为4.89×10~(-6)~18.40×10~(-6)(平均为11.29×10~(-6)),δCe为0.50~0.68(平均为0.58),呈负异常,δEu为1.13~2.98(平均为1.49),呈明显的正异常。Al/(Al+Fe+Mn)值为0.11~0.64(平均为0.45),Al_2O_3,TiO_2与Si O2相关性较差,而Fe2O3和Si O2呈明显的正相关。结合双变量SiO_2-Al_2O_3、SiO_2-MgO,三变量Al-Fe-Mn,Fe-Mn-(Ni+Co+Cu)×10图解,指示其为热水沉积成因;其δEu、Mn O/TiO_2、Fe2O3/TiO_2和Al_2O_3/(Al_2O_3+Fe_2O_3)值分析,其沉积环境为远离陆源物质供给的大陆边缘,受到强烈的热水活动影响。综上表明:晚石炭世时期,狸桥地区处于受基底深断裂及同沉积断裂控制的二级断陷盆地内,可能由于地壳的持续拉张、减薄,导致火山热液或喷气活动沿基底深断裂在海底火山喷发间歇式或旋回期发生热水喷流作用,形成了具有热水喷流沉积成因的角砾状硅质岩。这一发现对于长江中下游地区晚古生代热水沉积硅质岩的研究提供一定的借鉴,也为长江中下游地区至少在石炭纪时存在一定的热水活动提供了有利的证据。     

广西钦州板城晚泥盆世硅质岩地球化学特征及沉积环境探讨

广西钦州小董——板城地区发育较好的晚泥盆世至晚二叠世含放射虫硅质岩,剖面连续。本文对板城地区石梯水库晚泥盆世含放射虫硅质岩进行了主量元素、微量元素和稀土元素的分析,指示这些硅质岩形成于大陆边缘与深海盆地之间的过渡地带,说明在晚泥盆世钦州地区不存在大洋,与当时在华南板块与扬子板块之间发育古特提斯洋不符。
