Exhumation History of the Xining Basin Since the Mesozoic and Its Tectonic Significance

The Xining Basin is located in the northeastern Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, and its continuous Cenozoic strata record the entire uplift and outgrowth history of the Tibetan Plateau during the Cenozoic. The newly obtained apatite fission track data presented here shows that the Xining Basin and two marginal mountain ranges have experienced multiphase rapid cooling since the Jurassic, as follows. In the Middle–Late Jurassic, the rapid exhumation of the former Xining Basin resulted from collision between the Qiangtang Block and the Tarim Block. During the Early–Late Cretaceous, the former Xining Basin underwent a tectonic event due to marginal compression, causing the angular unconformity between the Upper and Lower Cretaceous. In the Late Cretaceous to the Early Cenozoic, collision between the Qiangtang Block and the Lhasa Block may have resulted in the rapid exhumation of the Xining Basin and the Lajishan to the south. In the Early Cenozoic(ca. 50–30 Ma), collision between the Indian and Eurasia plates affected the region that corresponds to the present northeastern Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. During this period, the central Qilian Block rotated clockwise by approximately 24° to form a wedge-shaped basin(i.e., the Xining Basin) opening to the west. During ca. 17–8 Ma, the entire northeastern Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau underwent dramatic deformation, and the Lajishan uplifted rapidly owing to the northward compression of the Guide Basin from the south. A marked change in subsidence occurred in the Xining Basin during this period, when the basin was tectonically inverted.     

Geochemical Characteristics of Volcanic Rocks from ODP Site 794, Yamato Basin: Implications for Deep Mantle Processes of the Japan Sea

Deep mantle processes and the dynamic mechanism of magmatism in the Japan Sea Basin are important processes that have not been studied in detail. In this paper, systematic evaluation of basalt samples from the ocean drilling program Site 794 in the Japan Sea was performed, which included petrography, whole-rock major- and trace-element analysis, Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic composition, and electron microprobe analysis of plagioclase and clinopyroxene. These basalts belong to the tholeiitic series with porphyritic texture and massive Ca-rich plagioclase, clinopyroxene, and minor olivine phenocrysts. The basalts are characterized as flat rare earth elements and high-field-strength elements with remarkably low ratios of(La/Yb)N(0.75–2.51), significant positive anomalies of Ba, Sr, and Rb and no Eu anomaly(δEu = 0.99–1.36). The samples showed relatively high 87Sr/86Sr(0.70425–0.70522), 207Pb/204Pb(15.511–15.610), and 208Pb/204Pb(38.064–38.557) values and a low 143Nd/144 Nd ratio(0.51271–0.51295). The basalts from Site 794 can be divided into upper, middle, and lower volcanic rocks(UVR, MVR, and LVR) on the basis of their stratigraphic level. The MVR was geochemically derived from the depleted mantle, whereas the UVR and LVR originated from a nondepleted and relatively enriched mantle source with contributions from subducted Pacific plate fluid and sediments. Use of geothermobarometers indicates that the crystallization pressure for the UVR and LVR(6.25–11.19 kbar) was significantly higher than that of the MVR(3.48–5.84 kbar). The UVR and LVR may have been derived from the low-degree(5%–10%) partial melting of spinel lherzolite, while the MVR originated from a shallower mantle source with a high degree(10%–20%) of partial melting. In addition, the geochemical characteristics of the samples are consistent with a younger age(13–17 Ma) and the depleted composition of the MVR and an older age(17–23 Ma) and slightly enriched composition of the UVR and LVR. Therefore, temporal changes in the mantle source from old and enriched to young and depleted and subsequently to old and nondepleted may have been associated with progressive lithospheric extension and thinning, as well as at least two episodes of diverse asthenospheric upwelling and pull-apart tectonic motion in the Yamato Basin.

煤系沉积岩应力–应变与应变–渗透率特征

通过对济宁三号煤矿岩样进行现场采取和室内试验分析,探究对开采有威胁的3煤层顶板砂岩和红层的渗透率特征。试验结果表明,中粗砂岩的渗透率最大,泥岩样的渗透率相对较小;应力对岩石的渗透率有很大的影响,主要体现在节理的法向闭合和剪胀效应,其中应力剪胀能显著地改变岩石节理的渗透性;岩石应变渗透率曲线,表现出渗透率峰值"滞后"的特点;在岩石处于弹塑性阶段时候,渗透率的变化剧烈且具有不可预测性,然而岩石渗透率与体积应变有很好的一致性。通过对实验结果的归纳总结,本文将岩石在全应力应变过程中渗透率变化划分成5个阶段:微裂隙压密闭合阶段、微裂隙随机扩展阶段、裂隙扩展贯通阶段、裂隙错动充分发育阶段和裂隙二次闭合阶段。

巴丹吉林沙漠湖泊与高大沙山形成的若干问题探讨

依据前人研究成果和最新调查测试资料,深入探讨了巴丹吉林沙漠湖泊水的补给来源、补给模式及高大沙山的形成机理。认为沙漠湖泊水和地下水的补给来源不是当地降水和周边雅布赖山—北大山的降水形成的地表洪水,而是南部青藏高原(包括祁连山)现代大气降水、冰雪融水、高原湖水的远源补给。补给模式为:高原富含CO2气体和Ca CO3的入渗水,通过深大导水断裂通道形成的区域地下水流循环系统,源源不断地自南向北运移到沙漠地带。地下水在通过沙漠湖泊区弧形"叠瓦状"垂向导水构造断裂向上越流过程中被广泛分布的岩浆岩加热,沿断层溢出地表形成湖泊群,同时导致水中CO2的释放和Ca CO3的沉积,形成钙华、钙质根管和钙质胶结层。高大沙山的形成机理是:深层地下热水向上越流补给了沙漠覆盖区,在承压水头以下形成鼓丘状的沙漠地下水,承压水头以上,水蒸气继续向上运移并被凝结在沙粒表面,未被吸附凝结的热水蒸气继续向上运移并被吸附在新沉积的沙粒表面,形成湿砂层并接受更新的沙粒沉积。如此反复循环,则沙丘高度不断增加,逐步形成高大的固定沙山。     

佳木斯地块东部二叠纪方山花岗岩体的锆石U—Pb年代学、地球化学特征及其地质意义

本文报道了佳木斯地块东部方山花岗岩体的锆石LA--ICP--MS U--Pb定年结果、全岩地球化学特征,确定了花岗质岩石的形成时代以及大地构造背景。花岗岩的锆石主要呈自形-半自形晶,振荡环带发育,Th/U在0.26~1.16之间,显示其典型的岩浆成因;测年结果表明这些花岗岩形成于早二叠世(278 Ma,277 Ma)。方山花岗岩呈现出弱过铝质高钾钙碱性的地球化学特征,这些岩石轻稀土富集,重稀土亏损,具有Eu负异常,富集大离子亲石元素(Rb、K等),相对亏损高场强元素(Nb、Ta、P、Zr和Ti)。该区花岗岩地球化学特征与佳木斯东缘二叠纪的美作、青山、楚山、柴河、石场、锦山等岩体相似,体现出火山弧型花岗岩的特征。结合区域研究资料,我们认为佳木斯地块东缘在早二叠世期间为活动大陆边缘。     

塔里木块体北部泥盆—石炭纪陆缘构造演化:盆地充填序列与物源体系约束

陆缘洋-陆转换或盆-山转换复杂多变,沉积作用活跃,但迄今认识有限。文中基于对陆块和造山带地层格架的梳理和建立,选择塔里木块体北缘与南天山之间两条较完整的泥盆—石炭系典型剖面开展盆地与沉积序列研究。泥盆纪—早石炭世维宪早期发育碱性玄武岩、放射虫硅质岩和浊积岩,而早石炭世维宪晚期—晚石炭世发育序列清晰的中厚层状碳酸盐岩、碎屑岩及其混合沉积组合,指示洋-陆转换已经发生。进一步重点分析了其中砂岩碎屑重矿物样品19个、碎屑锆石同位素年代学(U-Pb及Hf)样品12个,结合砂岩骨架组分特征综合解析了物源体系与构造演变机制。研究表明,泥盆纪—早石炭世维宪早期,塔里木块体北缘东部发育不稳定和差异显著的碎屑组合,并具有接近地层年龄的碎屑锆石,指示了由南向北相对近距离的源汇体系、活动陆缘和混杂沉积的特征;而西部砂岩呈现的较高的成分成熟度和来自塔里木陆块相当数量的锆石年代学特征,则具有被动大陆边缘沉积属性。早石炭世维宪晚期—晚石炭世,塔里木块体北缘东部成分成熟度增高,并出现了一定数量的来自塔里木陆块的碎屑锆石,以及相当部分390~460Ma锆石的εHf(t)显示特征的正值,具有主体再旋回混合造山带的物源构造属性、中-近距离源-汇体系和残留海沉积特征;而在塔里木块体北缘西部,较之前更加明显的较高砂岩成分成熟度和来自塔里木陆块的大量锆石年代学特征,说明具有远距离源汇体系特征,可能指示了更加广阔的残留洋或残留海沉积。这说明尽管南天山洋在早石炭世维宪期以后已经关闭,但直到晚石炭世仍未明显造山。塔里木块体北缘东、西部泥盆—石炭纪陆缘构造及相关盆地系统演化存在显著差异,是中亚地区陆缘裂解、多岛洋闭合、(微)陆块聚合复杂性的体现。     

南北构造带北部石炭纪东西沉积边界分合演变及其地质意义

南北构造带是中国大陆地质构造及深部过程和地表系统的重要分界线,也是地震活动的多发地带,对其在前中生代是否存在、不同时期各区带的构造属性和联系研究薄弱。文中以南北构造带北部为研究对象,重点讨论其中南段,探讨研究区石炭纪地质构造特征及其与具分区意义的南北构造带形成演化的联系。研究表明,在石炭纪,今南北构造带北部所在地区处于伸展裂陷环境,断裂活动强烈,总体控制着河西走廊—北祁连沉积域的东界和隆拗格局及沉积厚度等变化。南北构造带北部及其西沉积区的断裂活动和沉积演化,经历了前黑山期初始裂陷、臭牛沟期进一步(向北)扩张、土坡期沉积-沉降鼎盛及太原期衰减4个阶段。其中于晚石炭世土坡晚期(本溪期)和太原期,东(华北)、西沉积域的沉积范围均向南北构造带北部扩展,先后经历了北部连通到全部相通的演变过程。石炭纪各期诸断裂与中、新生代断裂在位置和方向上具有明显的相关性,反映二者成生和演化联系密切。南北构造带北部及邻区,在石炭纪主要时期分隔华北和河西走廊—北祁连两大沉积域,东、西沉积域的沉积边界在该区带的分合演变和建造特征及断裂的主控因素,显示该区带在石炭纪已属具明显分区作用的重要地质构造单元,为此后南北构造带北部的进一步发展演化和重要的构造地位奠定了基础。
