稳定同位素和地质特征的研究,结果表明浙江火山岩区金银矿床的成矿物质系多元来源。金属和挥发性组分来源于岩石圈深部(下地壳或上地幔)和上地壳,成矿流体是大量大气水和少量岩浆水的混合溶液.金银矿化与板块运动及地热流体对流体系有关.     

苏北箕状断陷形成的动力学机制

苏北盆地由多个小型箕状盆地组成,过去一直用“拉线作用”和“裂谷盆地”理论解释其成因,但大量地震资料显示,新生界地层“楔状实体”的形成除沉积因素外,更主要的是因为多次不均衡抬升削蚀所造成,实际是一个早第三纪残留盆地。新生代构造现象既是中生代时期构造作用的延续,也是始新世以来复杂应力环境作用的结果。印支－燕山中期,中国东部只受到太平洋－库拉板块一种力源作用,地层形变强烈,受力方向单一,以NW,NWW向挤压或左行剪切为主,发育了大量逆冲推覆构造,始新世,由印度板块向欧亚大陆冲撞引发的NE向挤压力加入到本区,使苏北盆地从此处在因两大板块非均速推进而产生的二元交变动力环境：印度板块力源占主导时,产生“右旋扭动”力偶,使燕山早－中期逆断层复活反转的同时,由于中国西部大陆的不断抬升,本区总的以沉积作用为主,而太洋板块力源占主导时又产生“左行剪切挤压”,在整体抬升基础上,斜坡－凸起处的过多蚀进一步加强了箕状盆地结构。两种力源的时空交替实际形成了一个完整的“断－坳－隆”沉降－抬升构造旋回,利用裂变途径迹资料探讨了不同方向构的形成年代。     

阿尔金北缘大平沟金矿床成因

大平沟金矿是阿尔金北缘地区近年来新发现的一个中型金矿床。它受韧性剪切带构造的控制,矿化类型为蚀变糜棱岩型夹少量钾长石石英脉型。文章通过地质地球化学的研究,探讨了该矿床的成因。稀土元素、硫同位素、铅同位素和锶同位素地球化学特征反映成矿物质主要来源于变质岩;流体包裹体和氢氧同位素反映成矿流体主要来源于变质水,有少量重熔岩浆水和大气降水的混入,成矿温度198～2 90℃,成矿流体密度0 .791～0 .971g/cm3 ;盐度w(NaCleq) =2 .0 3%～5 .5 % ,成矿压力(42 0～72 0 )×10 5Pa ,成矿深度为1.6 1～2 .6 8km。石英流体包裹体Rb_Sr等时线年龄表明成矿时代为加里东期。大平沟金矿床属于中温动力变质热液成因矿床。

湖南宏厦桥花岗岩的水文地球化学特征和成因过程

以湖南宏厦桥花岗岩体作为研究区,对地下水化学分析资料进行了研究,发现区内地下水系超淡、极软的、弱-中性的重碳酸型水,其化学组成以Ca2 、Mg2 、K 、Na 、HCO3-为主。与株洲地区的地下水相比,可溶性S iO2、K 、Na 和游离CO2明显偏高,而且,在水中M g2 、K 、Na 、HCO3-所占比重更大,m eq%平均比值分别是株洲地区地下水的2.23、1.27、1.16倍,表现出典型的花岗岩地区地下水相应的化学组成。研究还发现,区内地下水化学的分布具有较强的水平分带性。研究认为:区内地下水化学的形成和迁移受岩性、大气降水及影响水交替强度的地形、地貌、地表水系、断裂构造的控制,同时受其他气候要素及植被、人类活动等生物作用的影响;区内地下水化学成分的形成以硅酸盐矿物的分解和水解等化学风化作用为主,风化过程中CO2的积极参与起作关键性的促进作用。同时水中CO2的减少和阴离子以HCO3-离子占绝对优势地位,进一步说明花岗岩的化学风化过程是一个净碳汇的过程。     

Determining magma flow in sills,dykes and laccoliths and their implications for sill emplacement mechanisms

Three-dimensional seismic data from the Faeroe-Shetland Basin provides detailed information on the relationships between sills, dykes, laccoliths and contemporaneous volcanic activity. The data shows that sills are predominantly concave upwards, being complete or partial versions of radially or bilaterally symmetrical forms that possess flat inner saucers connected to a flat outer rim by a steeply inclined sheet. Such morphologies are only partially modified by pre-existing faults. Sills can be sourced from dykes or the steep climbing portions of deeper sills. Both sills and dykes can provide magma to overlying volcanic fissures and sills can be shown to feed shallow laccoliths. Magma flow patterns, as revealed by opacity rendering, suggest that sills propagate upwards and outwards away from the magma feeder. As an individual sill can consist of several leaves emplaced at different stratigraphic levels, and as a sill or dyke can provide magma to volcanic fissures, other sills and laccoliths, the data suggests that neutral buoyancy concepts may not provide a complete explanation for the mechanism and level of sill emplacement. Instead, the data suggests that the presence of lithological contrasts, particularly ductile horizons such as overpressured shales may permit sill formation at any level below the neutrally buoyant level.

Geochemical modeling of magma mixing and magma reservoir volumes during early episodes of Kīlauea Volcano’s Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō eruption

Geochemical modeling of magma mixing allows for evaluation of volumes of magma storage reservoirs and magma plumbing configurations. A new analytical expression is derived for a simple two-component box-mixing model describing the proportions of mixing components in erupted lavas as a function of time. Four versions of this model are applied to a mixing trend spanning episodes 3–31 of Kilauea Volcano’s Puu Oo eruption, each testing different constraints on magma reservoir input and output fluxes. Unknown parameters (e.g., magma reservoir influx rate, initial reservoir volume) are optimized for each model using a non-linear least squares technique to fit model trends to geochemical time-series data. The modeled mixing trend closely reproduces the observed compositional trend. The two models that match measured lava effusion rates have constant magma input and output fluxes and suggest a large pre-mixing magma reservoir (46±2 and 49±1 million m³), with little or no volume change over time. This volume is much larger than a previous estimate for the shallow, dike-shaped magma reservoir under the Puu Oo vent, which grew from ∼3 to ∼10–12 million m³. These volumetric differences are interpreted as indicating that mixing occurred first in a larger, deeper reservoir before the magma was injected into the overlying smaller reservoir.

Origin of gray-green sandstone in ore bed of sandstone type uranium deposit in north Ordos Basin

Dongsheng sandstone-type uranium deposit is located in the northern part of Ordos Basin, occurring in the transitional zones between gray-green and gray sandstones of Jurassic Zhiluo Formation. Sandstones in oxidized zone of the ore bed look gray-green, being of unique signature and different from one of ordinary inter-layered oxidation zone of sandstone-type uranium deposits. The character and origin of gray-green sandstones are systematically studied through their petrology, mineralogy and geochemistry. It is pointed out that this color of sandstones is originated from secondary oil-gas reduction processes after paleo-oxidation, being due to acicular-leaf chlorite covering surfaces of the sandstone grains. To find out the origin of gray-green sandstone and recognize paleo-oxidation zones in the ore bed are of not only theoretical significance for understanding metallogenesis of this kind of sandstone-type uranium deposit, but also very importantly practical significance for prospecting for similar kind of sandstone-type uranium deposit.     

白云鄂博碳酸岩墙的稀土和微量元素地球化学及对其成因的启示

根据矿物组成白云鄂博矿区的碳酸岩岩可墙可分为白云石型、白云石－方解石共存型和方解石型三种类型。REE和微量元素地球化学表明，这三类碳酸岩岩墙为碳酸岩浆演化不同阶段的产物，白云石型和白云石－方解石共存型对应于早期岩浆阶段，其（La/Nd)n、(La/Yb)n比值随稀土总量的增加而增大，方解石型则对应于碳酸岩浆演化的晚期热液阶段，其稀土总量明显富集，但其（La/Nd)n、(La/Y)n和（La/Yb)n比值随稀土总量的增加却有减小的趋势，热液阶段也是白云鄂博稀土矿化的主要阶段。
