基于地球化学异常特征揭示地质构造——以四川惠远寺地区为例

为查明研究区地质构造活动特征,以四川道孚县惠远寺地区为研究对象,开展了1:5万区域地球化学扫面工作,将典型元素的异常分布和背景值特征与区内已知断裂构造、出露岩体、地质界线等进行对比研究。结果表明: 元素(或异常)分布特征与断裂活动、岩体和地层分布相匹配,表现出受已知地质构造(鲜水河断裂带)的影响很大; 地球化学异常的形成和迁移与成矿期的构造作用密切相关,相关资料可用于反演推断地质构造活动特征; 在已知断裂的基础上,结合化探资料和地质观察,对地质体空间分布和构造界限的位置做出推测,初步厘定区内存在推测断层6条。该研究对未知地区和隐伏性地质构造提出推断,为后续找矿勘探提供依据。

Geological structure revelation based on geochemical anomalies: A case study in Huiyuan Temple area of Sichuan Province

In order to probe the characters of tectonic structures in the study area, the authors conducted the 1:50 000 regional geochemical profile scan and took Huiyuan Temple area in Daofu County of Sichuan Province as a case study. The anomaly distribution and background value characters of the typical elements were compared with the known inferred faults, hidden rocks and geological boundaries. The results show that element (or anomaly) distribution characters correspond to the characters of fault activities, rocks and strata, which have been largely affected by the known geological structure (Xianshuihe Fault Zone). The formation and change of geochemical anomaly is closely related to those tectonic structures during the metallogenic period. Therefore, these data could be used to invert and infer the tectonic activity charaters. Based on the known faults and combined with the geochemical data and geological observation, the authors preliminarily inferred the spatial distribution of geological bodies and the locations of tectonic boundaries, and identified six inferred faults. This research aims to infer about those unknown regions and concealed geological structures, which provides some reference for future geological prospecting.
