新疆阿尔泰东部新生代玄武岩的地球化学特征与地质意义

新疆阿尔泰东部哈拉乔拉出露有新生代玄武岩,K-Ar 法测得玄武岩的年龄在10～20Ma,地球化学分析结果表明哈拉乔拉玄武岩具有高 TiO_2含量、高钾富碱的特点,属于典型的橄榄玄粗岩系列;强烈富集不相容元素和轻稀土元素,显示出源区富集的特点。(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i 为0.704432～0.704538,(~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd)_i 为0.512641～0.512779,ε_(Nd)(t)为0.29～1.03,其 Sr-Nd 同位素特征和地球化学特征都与洋岛玄武岩(OIB)相似。La/Nb(0.765～0.823)、Nb/U(35.02～52.01)等不相容元素的比值指示了源区中可能存在少量循环地壳物质。综合对比南天山托云等地区新生代玄武岩,中亚地区的地球化学性质相似的新生代火山岩分布零星,空间上与大型断裂相对应,不应是前人地幔柱成因的观点。本文结合中亚地区古生代地壳的演化特点,提出中亚地区的新生代类 OIB 型玄武岩来源于中亚地区已被改造的富集地幔。     

松辽盆地早白垩世火山岩地球化学特征及其构造意义

松辽盆地早白垩世发育基性岩类的橄榄玄武岩、玄武岩,中性岩类的玄武安山岩、安山岩、粗安岩,酸性岩类的粗面岩、粗面英安岩、英安岩和流纹岩。早白垩世火山岩都具有大离子亲石元素(LILE)、轻稀土元素(LREE)相对富集的特征,并具有较低的(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i值和较高的(~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd)_i值。基性岩类Ce/Nb=1.92～8.31,Th/Nb=0.08～0.44,(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i=0.7031～0.7047,ε_(Nd)(t)=+1.7～+5.2;中性岩类Ce/Nb=3.70～15.80,Th/Nb=0.34～2.58,(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i=0.7040～0.7054,ε_(Nd)(t)=0～+3.0;酸性岩类Ce/Nb=4.29～15.80,Th/Nb=0.11～1.02,(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i=0.7038～0.7066,ε_(Nd)(t)=+1.0～+3.3。基性岩类岩浆主要来自被富集了的亏损地幔源的部分熔融,受混染程度很小;中性岩类岩浆源于年轻地壳组分被来自亏损地幔岩浆的再次部分熔融;酸性岩类浆岩可能主要来自源于亏损地幔的初生地壳部分熔融,并受到了上地壳的混染。晚侏罗世-早白垩世,由于蒙古-鄂霍次克洋关闭引发强烈的挤压造山后,发生的岩石圈拆沉作用致使来自亏损地幔的岩浆熔融上涌导致岩石圈主动伸展拉张,地表则表现出大规模的裂谷断陷作用和大范围的火山活动。这个阶段的伸展拉张以主动拉张为主。     

闽东南基性岩脉成因及动力学背景研究：Sr-Nd同位素、元素地球化学

闽东南的海边斜闪煌斑岩脉和赤湖辉长岩脉分别形成于晚白垩世和古新世,为高钾钙碱性和钙碱性系列岩石,具有高Al、Na_2O>K_2O的特征;岩浆演化过程中可能经历了以橄榄石、单斜辉石为主的结晶分异作用。海边和赤湖基性岩脉具有相对富集大离子亲石元素和轻稀土元素,亏损高强场元素特征,不相容元素蛛网图显示出大陆边缘弧的地球化学特征,以Nb、Ta、Ti负异常为特征;海边和赤湖明显富集轻稀土元素,(La/Yb)_N分别为5.0～10.9和11.2～12.0。具有高Sr同位素初始值和低ε_(Nd)(t)值,海边的(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i:0.70577～0.707574,ε_(Nd)(t):-8.1～-1.8,赤湖的(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i:0.70547～0.70552,ε_(Nd)(t):-0.2～0.6。根据Sr、Nd同位素、微量元素研究及野外地质观察,本区基性岩脉的岩浆在上升侵位过程中未发生地壳物质混染。通过Sr、Nd同位素和微量元素等研究,认为地幔源区的演化与古太平洋板块俯冲密切相关,俯冲流体交代地幔楔、消减洋壳携带的海洋与陆源沉积物参与地幔源区的混合,形成本区基性岩脉的富集地幔源区,大离子亲石元素和轻稀土元素特别富集是俯冲流体与沉积物共同参与源区演化的结果。海边和赤湖基性岩脉形成的构造背景属于活动大陆边缘弧,构造性质应为活动陆缘拉张带(或裂谷带)。晚白垩世和古新世,闽东南发生了地壳拉张事件,与中国东南部晚白垩世以来的地壳拉张期次是一致。     

新疆巴楚辉绿岩岩脉的岩石成因和大地构造意义

塔里木盆地西北部巴楚地区出露的二叠纪基性岩脉为研究塔里木盆地及其邻区晚古生代区域大地构造演化提供了重要信息。巴楚地区基性岩脉中辉绿岩脉富集大离子亲石元素、轻稀土元素以及高场强元素,La/Nb=0.84～1.23,Zr/Nb=5.80～7.81,Ce/Pb=2.6～15.4和 Nb/U=27.0～37.3,初始~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr=0.70495～0.70560,ε_(Nd)(t)=-1.7～ 2.0,明显不同于受俯冲交代地幔源区的产物,也区别于典型洋岛玄武岩(OIB),相反具有 OIB 型 富集岩石圈地幔的元素-同位素地球化学特征,能被理解为与二叠纪软流圈和岩石圈相互作用产物,其起源与软流圈地幔上涌有关,表明二叠纪时巴楚地区应处于软流圈上隆的岩石圈伸展构造背景。结合区域地质资料,可认为二叠纪时地幔源区属性自塔里木盆地内部向北至西南天山边缘呈规律性变化     

安徽黄梅尖地区基性脉岩年代学和地球化学特征

对庐枞盆地黄梅尖岩体内发育的辉绿玢岩开展了K-Ar法定年和系统的岩石地球化学特征研究。研究表明,辉绿玢岩形成年龄为107Ma±,属于晚白垩世产物。岩石出现2种辉石(单斜辉石和斜方辉石),w(SiO_2)介于51.93%～58.87%之间,具有富碱、高钾、贫钛等特征,岩石富集LREE、大离子亲石元素和强不相容元素,无Eu亏损现象,显示出洋岛玄武岩(OIB)相似的稀土元素和微量元素配分曲线。锶同位素初始值(I_(Sr))介于0.70575～0.70588,DSr值介于57.46～58.80,(~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd)_i介于0.512124～0.512188,εNd(t)值范围为-6.1～-7.3。我们认为黄梅尖辉绿玢岩属钾玄岩,其源区性质表现出富集地幔(EMI型)特征,庐枞盆地岩浆作用形成和演化与扬子陆块-华北陆块间陆陆碰撞后的伸展环境及软流圈物质上涌导致富集地幔部分熔融有关。黄梅尖钾玄岩限定了岩石圈减薄的时限,推测岩石圈减薄动力学演化过程可能对热液型铀成矿有重要的制约作用。     

阿尔金断裂东端白垩纪火山岩地球化学特征及其地质意义

在阿尔金断裂与祁连山北缘逆冲断裂交汇处的昌马盆地和酒西盆地内,产出一套中基性火山岩,多为玄武岩和粗面玄武岩,属于碱性玄武岩系列。火山岩富集轻稀土元素,(La/Yb)N比值为7.28~18.01,富集大离子亲石元素（K、Rb和Ba等）,亏损高场强元素（Nb、Ta等）,显示出与OIB类似的地球化学特征。阿尔金断裂带东端火山岩的Sr同位素较高,87Sr/86Sr值在0.706~0.708,Nd同位素较低,εNd(t)值多为负值（0.53~-6.13）,显示出EMⅡ型富集地幔来源的特征。K Ar同位素年代学测试结果表明,阿尔金断裂带东端火山岩形成于(120.1±2.5)~(102.2±2.9) Ma,属于早白垩世晚期。火山岩的地球化学特征反映其形成于一个广泛的陆内伸展环境中,区域上可能受到阿尔金断裂带的影响,是阿尔金断裂白垩纪再活化的重要佐证。     

内蒙古四子王旗早白垩世钾玄岩的地球化学特征及其形成构造环境

内蒙古四子王旗地区发现有一套早白垩世钾玄岩。主量元素、微量元素、稀土元素以及 Sr-Nd 同位素测试结果表明,岩石以低硅(SiO_2含量为48.11%～52.77%)、高钛(TiO_2含量为1.94%～2.77%,平均2.48%)、高钾高碱(K_2O Na_2O 为5.32%～7.02%、K_2O/Na_2O 比值为0.48～1.10)为特征,属于钾玄岩系列。它们富集大离子亲石元素、轻稀土元素,亏损高场强元素,具有微弱的 Eu 负异常(δEu=0.81～0.98),其地球化学特征总体与洋岛玄武岩(OIB)相似。Rb/Nb、Ba/Nb、La/Nb、K/Nb 和 Zr/Nb 比值主要落在 EM I OIB 范围内。~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr 和~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd 比值分别变化在0.7063～0.7077和0.51196～0.51243之间,岩石的 Nd、Sr 同位素组成接近 EM I 地幔端元。随着ε_(Nd)的减小,P_2O_5、Rh、Sr、Ba 和 Zr 逐渐富集,表明四子王旗钾玄岩没有经历明显的地壳物质混染。利用微量元素地球化学原理,推断四子王旗钾玄岩母岩浆源于含金云母地幔橄榄岩减压低度部分熔融。根据其地球化学特征可以认为,四子王旗钾玄岩是华北板块早白垩世岩石圈减薄事件的产物。     

东天山晚石炭世大石头群流纹岩Sr-Nd-Pb同位素地球化学研究

新疆大石头-色皮口地区位于博格达造山带东段北部。该区大石头群流纹岩 Rb-Sr 同位素等时线年龄为306.7±2.3Ma,是博格达裂谷闭合后区域隆升阶段的产物。这些流纹岩的ε_(Nd)(t)为 5.30～ 6.40,(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i 为0.703289～0.703496,(~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb)_i 为18.037～18.425、(~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb)_i 为15.524～15.567、(~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb)_i 为37.198～37.810,因此其 Nd-Sr-Pb 同位素特征与博格达陆内裂谷伸展和沉降阶段形成的早石炭世七角井组玄武岩和流纹岩相近。七角井组与大量玄武岩伴生的少量流纹岩是由玄武岩浆分离结晶作用的产物,而大石头群中的大量流纹岩群仅与少量玄武岩伴生故是由玄武岩浆分离结晶的产物可排除大的可能性。该区流纹岩很可能是碰撞后的底侵玄武岩在地幔热量影响下发生重熔的产物。大石头群流纹岩正δ_(Nd)(t)值、负ε_(Sr)(t)值(低 Sr 初始值)和低 Pb 同位素比值表明博格达裂谷碰撞后的底侵幔源岩浆重熔的基性产物与碰撞前的七角井组玄武岩一样也来自亏损地幔。     

山东蓬莱、临朐新生代碱性玄武岩的钕、锶同位素组成

本文报道了鲁东和鲁西新生代碱性玄武岩13个样品的Nd、Sr同位素组成,~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd=0.512967—0.512744,~(87)Sr/(86)Sr=0.70349—0.70450。它们在地质剖面上呈现规律性变化,可能与其地幔源区同位素组成的层状分带有关。鲁西地幔源区具有较鲁东更加亏损的组份。两地地幔源区在演化中都曾发生过地幔交代(或富集)作用,根据玄武岩Nd同位素模式年龄估计地幔交代作用发生的时间为0.45Ga。     

西秦岭新生代钾霞橄黄长岩的地球化学及其岩浆源区性质

西秦岭礼县地区新生代钾霞橄黄长岩具有贫SiO_2和Al_2O_3,富CaO、Mgo、TiO_2及K_2O Na_2O的特征,矿物组合中除橄榄石、辉石外,普遍含有霞石、黄长石、白榴石和磁铁矿等矿物。火山岩的∑REE为97.82×10~(-6)～639.1×10~(-6)。岩石以强烈富集大离子亲石元素(LILE,如Rb、Ba、K、Sr)和高场强元素(HFSE,如Nb、Th、Ta、P、Zr、Hf等)为特征具有Pb和Ti的负异常。火山岩具有相对高的~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd比值(0.512007～0.512130,ε~(Nd)= 3.4～ 5.8)和相对低的~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr比值(0.703374～0.704726)。~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb、~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb和~(208)Ph/~(204)Ph的比值范围分别为18.088～19.112,15.476～15.626和38.071～39.680。岩石的微量元素和Sr、Nd和Pb同位素特征显示其与洋岛玄武岩(OIB)的地球化学特征相似。源区组成显示了亏损地幔端元DM、HIMU端元和富集地幔端元EMII这三种地球化学端元混合的特征。     

Columbus,the discovery of America,and Russia

The discovery of a new continent that was later called America by Christopher Columbus some five hundred years ago, has in one way or another, influenced people the World over. The extraordinary significance of this event for mankind is displayed by the dimension of the consequences and the variety of reactions among nations and communities of the “Old World”.     

Text, talk, things, and the subpolitics of performing place

This article tells the story of how a group of Dutch and Belgian citizens organized themselves to promote an area that they valued, to put it on the map, to raise awareness about its qualities, and to protect it from urban and industrial development. Our theoretical perspective focuses on the performative and political aspects of this place-making process and the discursive and material practices involved. We connect this to Beck’s concept of subpolitics.Our findings show how the group performed this place not only through text and talk - giving the area a name, using their knowledge and expertise to raise awareness about its values, lobbying and cooperating with decision-makers -, but also through things - installing art objects and information signs that articulate certain characteristics and values of the area. Our findings demonstrate the struggles involved in these performances. The group involved multiple perspectives on what the important values and characteristics of the area are and on what strategies would work best in trying to influence decision-making and protect the area. However, the use of expertise as the main strategy to gain influence excluded the more critical and activist strategies and privileging archaeological and historical values and characteristics came at the expense of attention on agricultural and natural values.Our findings make clear that performing place cannot be taken to be homogeneous and that it inevitably involves multiple perspectives and demands. The struggles, power relations and dynamics of inclusion and exclusion that this multiplicity implicates reveal a form of sub-politics that involves both politicization and depoliticization. Also, it is a form of subpolitics that is more diverse and ambiguous than Beck’s conceptualization presupposes by its emphasis on the role of outsiders as a homogeneous group.     

Roles of xenomelts,xenoliths, xenocrysts,xenovolatiles, residues,and skarns in the genesis,transport, and localization of magmatic Fe-Ni-Cu-PGE sulfides and chromite

Most sulfide-rich magmatic Ni-Cu-(PGE) deposits form in dynamic magmatic systems by partial melting S-bearing wall rocks with variable degrees of assimilation of miscible silicate and volatile components, and generation of barren to weakly-mineralized immiscible Fe sulfide xenomelts into which Ni-Cu-Co-PGE partition from the magma. Some exceptionally-thick magmatic Cr deposits may form by partial melting oxide-bearing wall rocks with variable degrees of assimilation of the miscible silicate and volatile components, and generation of barren Fe ± Ti oxide xenocrysts into which Cr-Mg-V ± Ti partition from the magma. The products of these processes are variably preserved as skarns, residues, xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenomelts, and xenovolatiles, which play important to critical roles in ore genesis, transport, localization, and/or modification. Incorporation of barren xenoliths/autoliths may induce small amounts of sulfide/chromite to segregate, but incorporation of sulfide xenomelts or oxide xenocrysts with dynamic upgrading of metal tenors (PGE > Cu > Ni > Co and Cr > V > Ti, respectively) is required to make significant ore deposits. Silicate xenomelts are only rarely preserved, but will be variably depleted in chalcophile and ferrous metals. Less dense felsic xenoliths may aid upward sulfide transport by increasing the effective viscosity and decreasing the bulk density of the magma. Denser mafic or metamorphosed xenoliths may also increase the effective viscosity of the magma, but may aid downward sulfide transport by increasing the bulk density of the magma. Sulfide wets olivine, so olivine xenocrysts may act as filter beds to collect advected finely dispersed sulfide droplets, but other silicates and xenoliths may not be wetted by sulfides. Xenovolatiles may retard settling of – or in some cases float – dense sulfide droplets. Reactions of sulfide melts with felsic country rocks may generate Fe-rich skarns that may allow sulfide melts to fractionate to more extreme Cu-Ni-rich compositions. Xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenomelts, and xenovolatiles are more likely to be preserved in cooler basaltic magmas than in hotter komatiitic magmas, and are more likely to be preserved in less dynamic (less turbulent) systems/domain/phases than in more dynamic (more turbulent) systems/domains/phases. Massive to semi-massive Ni-Cu-PGE and Cr mineralization and xenoliths are often localized within footwall embayments, dilations/jogs in dikes, throats of magma conduits, and the horizontal segments of dike-chonolith and dike-sill complexes, which represent fluid dynamic traps for both ascending and descending sulfides/oxides. If skarns, residues, xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenomelts, and/or xenovolatiles are present, they provide important constraints on ore genesis and they are valuable exploration indicators, but they must be included in elemental and isotopic mass balance calculations.     

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.     

Dielectric constants of apatite,epidote, vesuvianite,and zoisite,and the oxide additivity rule

The dielectric constants and dielectric loss values of 4 Ca-containing minerals were determined at 1 MHz using a two-terminal method and empirically determined edge corrections. The results are: vesuvianitel κ′ _a=9.93 tan δ=0.006 κ′ _c=9.79 tan δ=0.005 vesuvianitel κ′ _a=10.02 tan δ=0.002 κ′ _c=9.85 tan δ=0.003 zoisite1 κ′ _a =10.49 tan δ=0.0006 κ′ _b =15.31 tan δ=0.0008 κ′ _c=9.51 tan δ=0.0008 zoisite2 κ′ _a =10.55 tan δ=0.0011 κ′ _b =15.45 tan δ=0.0013 κ′ _c=9.39 tan δ=0.0008 epidote κ′ ₁₁= 9.52 tan δ=0.0008 κ′ ₂₂=17.1 tan δ=0.0009 κ′ ₃₃= 9.37 tan δ=0.0006 fluorapatite1 κ′ _a =10.48 tan δ=0.0008 κ′ _c = 8.72 tan δ=0.0114 fluorapatite2 κ′ _a =10.40 tan δ=0.0010 κ′ _c=8.26 tan δ=0.0178 The deviation (δ) between measured dielectric polarizabilities as determined from the Clausius-Mosotti equation and those calculated from the sum of oxide polarizabilities according to α _D (mineral)=∑ α _D (oxides) for vesuvianite is ～ 0.5%. The large deviations of epidote and zoisite from the additivity rule with Δ=+ 10.1 and + 11.7%, respectively, are attributed to “rattling” Ca ions. The combined effects of both a large F thermal parameter and possible F-ion conductivity in fluorapatite are believed to be responsible for Δ=+2–3%. Although variation of oxygen polarizability with oxygen molar volume (V_o) is believed to affect the total polarizabilities, the variation of V_o in these Ca minerals is too small to observe the effect.     

山西五台山区滹沱群变质玄武岩岩石学、地球化学特征及其成因意义

在野外地质调查的基础上,选取滹沱群豆村亚群底部四集庄组玄武岩、顶部青石村组玄武岩和东冶亚群中下部河边村组玄武岩,进行岩石学和地球化学研究。分析结果表明：玄武岩主量元素高TiO2、TFeO,低MgO,具有演化的基性岩浆的特征。稀土元素含量相对较高,具有弱—中等程度的轻稀土元素富集,中等程度的轻重稀土元素分异,轻微的Eu异常;玄武岩中Cr、Ni含量变化较大,但与Mg#具有很好的正相关性。微量元素配分图解中具有明显的Sr负异常,部分样品具有Nb、Ta和Ti负异常,无Zr、Hf负异常,与岛弧火山岩不同;同时Nb、Ta无分异,Zr/Hf值较高,具有板内玄武岩浆的特征。综合分析认为,滹沱群玄武岩可能形成于板内裂谷环境。在岩浆上升过程中发生橄榄石与尖晶石的分离结晶作用,同时不同程度地受到地壳的混染。     

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.
