莲沱砂岩——南华大冰期前气候转冷的沉积记录

湖北宜昌地区出露的莲沱组中上部细屑岩的化学蚀变指数(CLA)介于60～70之间,表明是在寒冷干燥的气候条件下沉积的。比较莲沱组与板溪群中下部沉积岩的主化学成分和 CIA 值表明,板溪群源区遭受过强烈的化学风化,相应的古气候是温暖湿润的,而莲沱组源区化学风化弱,可见两者形成时的古气候环境明显不同。根据 CIA 值推测,地层层序上莲沱组位于板溪群的中上部,莲沱砂岩的 CIA 研究表明南华大冰期前全球气候已经从温暖湿润转变为寒冷干燥,CIA 值继续降低预示着全球性的冰期到表,不久就发生了"雪球地球"事件。     

In situ cosmogenic ~(10)Be dating of the Quaternary glaciations in the southern Shaluli Mountain on the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau

It is generally considered that four-times ice age happened during the Quaternary epoch on the Tibetan Plateau. However, the research on the chronology of the four-times ice age is far from enough. The Shaluli Mountain on the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau is an ideal place for plaeo-glacier study, because there are abundant Quaternary glacial remains there. This paper discusses the ages of the Quaternary glaciations, based on the exposure dating of roche moutonnée, moraines and gla- cial erosion surfaces using in situ cosmogenic isotopes 10Be. It is found that the exposure age of the roche moutonnée at Tuershan is 15 ka, corresponding to Stage 2 of the deep-sea oxygen isotope, suggesting that the roche moutonnée at Tuershan is formed in the last glacial maximum. The expo- sure age of glacial erosion surface at Laolinkou is 130―160 ka, corresponding to Stage 6 of the deep-sea oxygen isotope. The oldest end moraine at Kuzhaori may form at 421―766 kaBP, corre- sponding to Stages 12―18 of the deep-sea oxygen isotope. In accordance with the climate charac- teristic of stages 12,14,16 and 18 reflected by the deep-sea oxygen isotope, polar ice cores and loess sequence, the oldest end moraine at Kuzhaori may form at stage 12 or stage 16, the latter is more possible.     

Variations of near-surface atmospheric CO2 and H2O concentrations during summer on Muztagata

Expeditions during the summers of 2002 and 2003 implemented continuous monitoring of near-surface (2 m height) atmospheric CO₂ and H₂O concentrations at the 4500 m elevation on Muztagata. The resultant data sets reveal a slight decrease of CO₂ concentrations (of about 5 μmol·mol^-1) and changes in the diurnal variations from the end of June to the middle August. The daily maximum CO₂ concentrations occur between 02:30-05:30 AM (local time) and the minimum levels occur between 12:00-15:30 PM. The atmospheric CO₂ concentrations in the summer of 2002 were around 5 μmol·mol^-1 lower than those during the same period of 2003, whereas the diurnal amplitude was higher. In contrast, we found that the daily mean atmospheric H₂O content in 2003 was much lower than that in 2002 and there exists a striking negative correlation between CO₂ and H₂O concentrations. We therefore suggest that the near-surface atmospheric CO₂ concentration is affected not only by photosynthesis and respiration, but also by the air H₂O content in the glaciated region around Muztagata.     

新疆库鲁克塔格地区新元古代层序地层学研究及对比

新疆库鲁克塔格地区上元古界可分为五个沉积层序,由下到上分别对应于贝义西组、照壁山组、阿勒通沟组、特瑞爱肯组至水泉组和汉格尔乔克组。第1层序由贝义西组构成,发育由粗碎屑斜坡扇和低水位楔构成的低水位体系域,向上逐渐变为粉砂岩、泥岩的海进体系域,并以向上变粗的退积准层序的高水位体系域结束,反映陆缘发展初期海平面的升降变化。第2层序由照壁山组构成,底部为粗粒石英砂岩,向上变为细粒砂岩、页岩互层,上部出现厚约30m 的泥岩,顶部为紫红色砂岩,代表了由低水位经快速海进到高水位的变化过程,整体为水体较浅的滨浅海沉积环境。第3层序由阿勒通沟组构成,为冰成杂砾岩、砂岩、页岩组合,顶部出现厚2～3m 的白云岩,沉积主体为低水位体系域,顶部白云岩为海进体系域,缺失高水位体系域。第4层序发育最为完整,特瑞爱肯组冰成杂砾岩为低水位体系域,冰成杂砾岩之上"盖帽碳酸盐岩"为海进体系域,扎摩克提组浊积岩、育肯沟组页岩、水泉组碳酸盐岩为高水位体系域,其中育肯沟组页岩为凝缩段沉积。第5层序低水位体系域由汉格尔乔克组冰成杂砾岩构成,顶部泥灰岩和白云岩为海进体系域,由于顶部被寒武系不整合覆盖,缺失高水位体系域。研究区上元古界层序基本可以和我国华南及印度 Lesser Himalaya 地区对比。     

塔里木板块新元古代地层化学蚀变指数研究及其意义

本文应用化学蚀变指数(CIA)方法,研究新疆库鲁克塔格地区新元古代地层,并探讨沉积时期的气候环境。贝义西组总体 CIA 值较低,介于51～56之间,具冰期环境特征。照壁山组 CIA 值为60左右,表明气候有所变暖。阿勒通沟组的CIA 值变化范围在48～61之间,顶部突变为69～71,说明阿勒通沟期经历了另一次寒冷事件,并以温暖环境结束。其上的特瑞爱肯组 CIA 值介于49～53之间,说明第三次经历寒冷干燥的气候环境。扎莫克提组,育肯沟组和水泉组的 CIA 均值为65,反映温暖条件下的沉积环境。新元古代末期汉格尔乔克组 CIA 值下降为56,暗示第四次出现寒冷气候环境。以上特征表明新疆库鲁克塔格地区新元古代的气候环境出现四次冷热交替变化。其中尤为重要的是阿勒通沟组中下部应为寒冷气候环境,而顶部突变为温暖气候环境,因此该组反映了一次明确的从冷到暖的气候变化过程,可以作为贝义西冰期和特瑞爱肯冰期之间的另一次独立冰期。本文的研究成果从地球化学角度支持塔里木板块新元古代四次冰期的划分方案。通过与扬子板块新元古代冰期划分方案的对比,认为塔里木板块新元古代四次冰期的前三次均已在华南板块以冰期或寒冷环境沉积形式出现。     

黔东南新元古界下江群甲路组沉积特征及其下伏岩体的锆石U-Pb年龄意义

黔东南地区的甲路组冲洪积相底砾岩为一套高角度不整合于四堡群变质岩系或侵入该变质岩系的花岗岩体之上的楔状地层。通过对该组大比例尺剖面实测与加密取样鉴定,确定了该地区新元古界下江群甲路组与四堡群变质岩系及刚边花岗岩体之间的沉积超覆关系,在此基础上建立了下江群的沉积演化序列。取自甲路组地层之下的花岗岩的高精度SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为823±12Ma,这一年龄数据与已有的摩天岭花岗岩TIMS锆石U-Pb年龄825.0±2.4相一致,代表了黔东南地区裂谷系沉积超覆的起始年龄。而该区裂谷系沉积超覆的开启年龄略晚于这个时间,研究区内可能缺失1000～820Ma之间与拉伸系(Tonian)大致相当的地层。     

Neoproterozoic Chingasan Group in the Yenisei Ridge: new data on age and deposition environments

Trachybasalt-alkali trachyte volcanism in the Yenisei Ridge was found out to be synchronous with deposition of coarse tilloids and flysch of the Chivida Formation of the Neoproterozoic Chingasan Group. New 703±4 Ma ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar biotite and titan-augite ages of subalkaline basalts in the Chivida Formation indicated that they erupted in the Late Neoproterozoic. According to microfossil evidence, the Chingasan sediments correlate with Late Neoproterozoic strata in the type sections of the southern Siberian craton. The Chingasan deposition apparently lasted no longer than 30 Myr judging by the isotope ages obtained for the underlying Upper Vorogovka Group and subalkaline basalts in the Chivida Formation. The fault-parallel position of grabens and coarse grain sizes and variable thicknesses of their lithological complexes, as well as syndepositional trachybasalt-alkali trachyte volcanism provided evidence that the volcanosedimentary rocks of the Chingasan Group formed in an environment of active rifting.     

SHRIMP U-Pb zircon age,geochemistry and Nd-Hf isotope of Neoproterozoic mafic dyke swarms in western Sichuan:Petrogenesis and tectonic significance

Neoproterozoic magmatic rocks are widespread in the western margin of the Yangtze block, and their origin and genesis have significant implications for understanding the evolution of the Rodinia super- continent. However, there are currently two opposing interpretations for their petrogenesis and tectonic setting: mantle plume-related and island arc origin. To further verify these two competing models, SHRIMP U-Pb zircon age determinations and geochemical and Nd-Hf isotopic analyses are conducted on the mafic dykes in the Kangdian Rift, western Sichuan. U-Pb dating suggests that these mafic dykes were emplaced at 780―760 Ma, spatially and temporally coeval with the Kangding granitoid complex. The parental magmas of these dykes were derived from a depleted asthenosphere mantle source likely triggered by an anomalously-hot mantle plume. Despite some arc-geochemical features caused by variable degrees of contamination of young island arc crust during magma ascending and emplace- ment, they show general geochemical and Nd-Hf isotopic features similar to those of the intraplate basalts. Our results support the reconstruction model of Rodinia in which the South China block was located between Australia and Laurentia.     

藏东波密-察隅地区新元古代-寒武纪波密群研究新进展

藏东新元古代—寒武纪波密群由一套浅变质的活动大陆边缘浊积岩和碰撞型岛弧中酸性火山岩组成,化石稀少,缺乏时代依据。1∶20万区调和新一轮1∶25万区调修测专题研究在波密、察隅、贡山一带共采获微古植物化石21属50种,均为青、皖、浙、赣及滇中地区新元古代青白口纪、震旦纪及部分寒武纪早期较原始类型的常见分子。区域上可与高喜马拉雅的肉切村群,滇西的勐统群、公养河群和缅甸的Chaung Magyi群相对比。上述波密群活动大陆边缘浊积岩、碰撞型岛弧火山岩在经历了泛非末期壳源重熔花岗岩侵位(500～600Ma)和褶皱变质作用(644～664Ma)之后,成为冈瓦纳大陆北缘增生褶皱变质基底的一部分。
