天然富勒烯的地质产状与成因

天然富勒烯研究是富勒烯科学和地质科学相交叉的一个新兴研究领域,迄今为止已在桑加岩、闪电熔岩、陨石撞击坑中的含碳质角砾岩、古近系/白垩系地层界线(E/K)的含碳粘土岩、三叠系/二叠系(T/P)界线岩石(粘土岩、硅质岩)、恐龙蛋壳、煤、重质油、固体沥青以及半天然的烟灰、木炭、书墨等物质中检测到富勒烯的存在,但含量很低。多数天然富勒烯的地质分布、成因机制与陨石撞击、野火、闪电等有关,但部分天然富勒烯的成因尚不清楚。天然富勒烯研究扩展了人们对自然界碳结构及其演化的认识,在地质事件、事件地层如陨石撞击事件、E/K界线、T/P界线等的研究中充分显示了其独特的方法和应用价值。     

L群普通球粒陨石母体的撞击历史

撞击作用发生在太阳系形成和演化的所有阶段,是最基本的地质过程之一。陨石可以从微观尺度记录下这些重要的过程。在所有陨石族群中,L群普通球粒陨石保留了最完备的冲击变质记录,对撞击发生的时间、冲击过程中的物理条件提供了重要制约。矿物学证据表明,在太阳系形成100 Ma内,L群陨石母体可能发生一次撞击裂解事件,并在随后重组。4.48 Ga左右,原始小行星带经历大范围的撞击作用,这一事件也记录于L群普通球粒陨石中,可能是由月球大撞击事件溅射的大量碎屑进入到原始主小行星带引起。约800 Ma,包括L群陨石母体在内的内太阳系部分天体经历了同时期撞击事件,可能由这一时期裂解的大质量小行星产生的溅射物引发。L群陨石母体在～465 Ma发生撞击裂解,这一事件在L群陨石中保留了丰富的矿物学、年代学记录,并在地球全球奥陶纪地层发现相关信息。综合与该事件相关的所有L群陨石冲击变质特征,本文认为该裂解事件是由一颗大直径(18～22 km)石陨石质小行星,以较低速率(5～6 km/s)撞击导致。同位素年代学数据表明,L群普通球粒陨石母体很可能未受到晚期大撞击事件的影响,这难以用L群陨石母体过小予以解释。可能的原因有...

滇黔地区陆相二叠系—三叠系界线附近粘土岩中发现微球粒

在滇东黔西地区的几条陆相二叠系-三叠系界线地层剖面研究中，二叠系-三叠系界线附近普遍存在1-2层非正常事件成因的粘土岩，并在粘土岩中发现了大量微球粒，依据化学成分，这些微球粒可分为硅质和钡质两类，笔者认为这种含微球粒的粘土岩成因很可能是，陨石撞地球诱发大规模火山爆发，其产物又经历正常喾作用并有非火山和撞击的正常沉积物混入，这些奇异的球粒，可能就是撞击的产物之一。     

微量陨石激光熔样稀有气体测定方法

微量陨石激光熔样稀有气体测定方法是一种可以在微米尺度上对几毫克陨石样品进行准确稀有气体同位素分析的方法,克服了传统全岩熔融法在测量时存在样品用量大、前处理过程复杂和样品稀有气体分布不均导致不同组分的宇宙射线暴露历史无法进一步区分等问题。但是由于该方法所用样品体积小和样品用量低,要求实验室具有超低本底的稀有气体提取系统,目前国内在微量陨石稀有气体分析技术方面尚处于起步阶段。本文采用金刚石激光样品窗成功研制了超低本底的气体提取系统,通过系统体积标定和天平称量误差、热本底、干扰元素、质量歧视及质谱灵敏度等参数的校正,在中国科学院地质与地球物理研究所建立了微量陨石激光熔样稀有气体测定方法,并对毫克级微量钙长辉长无球粒陨石Millbillillie粉末标样进行了稀有气体同位素含量和比值测定,计算获得准确一致的宇宙暴露年龄。该方法的建立,将为我国迅速发展的比较行星学和深空探测提供重要技术支撑。

岩石矿物学研究发现HED (Howardite-Eucrite-Diogenite)族陨石NWA 12274/12275/12276/12277/12278与NWA 11586可能为成对陨石,但需要稀有气体等证据支持.本次工作对这5块陨石开展了稀有气体、宇宙暴露(CRE)年龄和气体保存年龄研究.结果 发现它们具有相一致的稀有气体同位素比值和CRE年龄,表明NWA系列陨石互为降落成对陨石;陨石CRE年龄[(36.2±3.7)Ma]与灶神星主要溅射事件/时期年龄(35.0～42.5 Ma)一致,表明它们可能在约36 Ma前从灶神星或Ⅴ型小行星溅离;陨石的U、Th-4 He(T4)及40K-40Ar(T40)气体保存年龄分别为0.3～1.3 Ga和2.8～3.4 Ga,显示这些陨石不同程度受到了后期热事件的影响;该流星体进入大气层的初始半径约为12.2 em,在穿越大气层期间质量损失了约56％.     

白垩-第三纪界线样品异常铱的赋存状态及其地质意义

 通过对地质样品中铱的赋存状态研究及对残渣相中微粒的透射电镜分析,得出:在K-T界线样品中铱主要存在于残渣相中,不利于地球化学过程富集铱;铱在残渣相的富集与有机不溶物的存在没有必然联系;白垩-第三纪的生物绝灭事件中有火山活动参与;K-T界线事件的触发物为地外物质撞击。最后提出了K-T界线样品异常铱来源于地外物质撞击和火山喷发的混合模型。     

矿物在静、动态高压下相变P-T历史的比较研究

通过对球粒陨石的静态高压淬火实验和人工动态高压实验的研究和综合分析，以及对在太空中经受过撞击的随州陨石中矿物发生高压相变的研究，查明了自然界的冲击事件，如星体的相互碰撞和陨石对地球表面的撞击中，矿物发生相变的P-T务件与人工冲击波实验的结果并不一致，而与静态高压淬火实验的结果相似，即前者类似静态高压淬火实验，保压时间较长。能产生高压矿物，后者保压时间极短，无高压矿物形成。因此，能够用静态高压淬火实验的结果来推定天然冲击事件中矿物的P-T历史。

Determination of Fullerenes (C_(60)/C_(70)) from the Permian-Triassic Boundary in the Meishan Section of South China

Fullerenes (C60/C70), clays and rocks near the Permian-Triassic (P/T) boundary in the Meishan section of South China are explored by means of comprehensive analytical techniques, including ultrasonic extraction with column purification, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS). The study confirms the existence of fullerenes toward the P/T event boundary and their absence in clays and limestones beyond the boundary. In particular, the white clay, known as the event boundary, contains fullerenes of 0.33 ppb, while the red material, as the first lamina fill of goethite and gypsum on the base of the white clay, contains fullerenes of 1.23 ppb, and the last lamina of 2.50 ppb. Significantly, distinct enrichment of fullerenes is coincident with the disappearance of fossil records of marine species (94%) just at the base of the white clay,implying that geological fullerenes would be one of temporal remnants led by the P/T catastrophic event. This work strongly supports that fullerenes would be one of significant records of the P/T catastrophic event but their origin remains to be studied further.     

陨石原始型惰性气体的研究进展——Q气及其携带物特征

陨石中的原始型惰性气体是在陨石形成前或陨石形成期间,组成陨石的物质通过吸附、溶解等方式将原始太阳星云中的惰性气体保留在陨石中形成的。实验研究发现,球粒陨石中的原始型惰性气体浓集中一种称为Q相的物质中,因此在原始型惰性气体中占绝对优势的组分被称为Q气或P1气。介绍了陨石原型惰性气体概念的由来、Q相的发现经过、Q相的成分和在球粒陨石中的存在部位以及Q气的元素丰度和同位素组成。并根据不同类型损石中Q气的分配情况,对其成因意义进行了讨论。     

Some Evidence for a Possible Extraterrestrial Event at／near Permian—Triassic Boundary

A selection of evidence, including a carbon isotopic excursion, iridium anomaly, fullerenes (C60 and C70) with trapped noble gasses, microspherules and shocked quartz, is discussed in this paper. All the evidence in hand favors the hypothesis that the PTB event was probably related to an extraterrestrial cause, and the impact would lead to great physical change, including large volcanic eruptions. on the earths surface. The ET markers for the CTB event could be considered only as an example, and cannot be taken as a unique standard of an ET event.

Cosmic ray exposure age and time of formation of a new meteorite,Dhofar 007 achondrite from Oman: A rock fragment from the asteroid Vesta

The isotopic composition of noble gases was investigated in the Dhofar 007 meteorite. Petrographic and mineralogical observations suggested that it is a brecciated cumulate eucrite with high contents of siderophile elements. The concentrations of noble gases in Dhofar 007 are identical to those of other eucrites. Its cosmic ray exposure age was estimated as 11.8 ± 0.8 Ma, which coincides with a maximum on the histogram of comic ray exposure ages of eucrite meteorites. It can be supposed that, similar to other eucrites, Dhofar 007 was ejected from the surface of their parent body (presumably, asteroid Vesta) about 12.0 Ma ago. The crystallization age of the Dhofar 007 eucrite was estimated from the ratio of plutonogenic Xe to Nd as 4476 ± 22 Ma. The potassium-argon age is much younger, 3.7–4.1 Ga, which indicates partial loss of radiogenic argon during the history of the meteorite, most likely related to impact metamorphic events.     

Noble gases in the unique Kaidun meteorite

Two examined fragments of the Kaidun meteorite principally differ in the concentrations of isotopes of noble gases and are very heterogeneous in terms of the isotopic composition of the gases. Because these fragments belong to two basically different types of meteoritic material (EL and CR chondrites), these characteristics of noble gases could be caused by differences in the cosmochemical histories of the fragments before their incorporation into the parent asteroid. As follows from the escape kinetics of all gases, atoms of trapped and cosmogenic noble gases are contained mostly in the structures of two carrier minerals in the samples. The concentrations and proportions of the concentrations of various primary noble gases in the examined fragments of Kaidun are obviously unusual compared to data on most currently known EL and CR meteorites. In contrast to EL and CR meteorites, which contain the primary component of mostly solar provenance, the elemental ratios and isotopic composition of Ne and He in the fragments of Kaidun correspond to those typical of the primary components of A and Q planetary gases. This testifies to the unique conditions under which the bulk of the noble gases were trapped from the early protoplanetary nebula. The apparent cosmic-ray age of both of the Kaidun fragments calculated based on cosmogenic isotopes from ³He to ¹²⁶Xe varies from 0.027 to 246 Ma as a result of the escape of much cosmogenic isotopes at relatively low temperatures. The extrapolated cosmic-ray age of the Kaidun meteorite, calculated from the concentrations of cosmogenic isotopes of noble gases, is as old as a few billion years, which suggests that the material of the Kaidun meteorite could be irradiated for billions of years when residing in an unusual parent body.     

陨石分类研究进展及其地学意义

近40年来陨石分类学经历了3个发展阶段，60－70年代，由根据陨石的矿物结构的分类方法发展为球粒陨石的化学一岩石学分类法和铁陨石的化学群分类法；70－80年代，提出了分异型陨石和未分异型陨石的概念，球粒陨石被认为是未分异型陨石，而其它陨石（铁陨石，石铁陨石和无球粒陨石）大多被划入分异型陨石，80－90年代以来，陨石氧同位素组成成为了陨石成因分类的一个主要依据，使陨石分类学进入了一个新的成因分类阶段，作者对80－90年代以来新确立的R群，K小群，CR群和CK群球粒陨石，以及根据氧同位素划分出的原始型无球粒陨石系列：A－L无球粒陨石，Winonaites无球粒陨石和Brachinites无球粒陨石进行了介绍，笔者对陨石研究和陨石分类学的发展在估算地球整体成分，探讨地球成因和早期演化历史方面的重要意义进行了说明，并建议地球科学家应对陨石学和陨石分类的发展现状给以关注。     

Light element geochemistry of the Chelyabinsk meteorite

The spectacular arrival of a huge meteorite in central Siberia on February 15th 2013 was the largest event of its kind for more than a hundred years. Oxygen isotope analysis reveals the object involved was an ordinary chondrite of type LL. Petrological examination of the material analysed shows two main lithologies, metamorphic grade 5, were present both having veins of shock produced glass. All three types of material were investigated for carbon, nitrogen and noble gas content and isotopic compositions. The relatively low abundance of carbon and nitrogen indicate that Chelyabinsk is uncontaminated by comparison with other samples in meteorite collections so that indigenous components may be recognized. All the samples studied contained minimal amounts of cosmogenic and primordial noble gases, evidence that the pre-atmospheric size of the object was large, greater than two metres in diameter and that the explosion and break-up was accompanied by catastrophic degassing. The implications for other major meteorite falls and the Tunguska event are discussed.     

世界陨石坑研究

本文综述了全球陨石坑研究的研究历史和最新成果、基本的概念、陨石坑的识别要点、世界著名的陨石坑、陨石撞击地球可能引起的岩浆活动、陨石撞击与生命演化等内容。确定一个陨石坑,要从有一定弧度的地貌开始,鉴别低平圆形地质体是陨石还是其它原因造成的,综合确定岩石的岩石学特征、岩石中是否有撞击变质矿物、残余陨石、重力异常。陨石撞击太阳系的所有行星。由于地球表面遭受严重的风化和侵蚀,地质学家很难发现陨石坑。截至2021年3月31日,全球陨石坑数据库中有190个经确认的陨石坑,但中国只有一个,中国地质学家在发现陨石坑方面应当积极努力。对一个陨石坑认识可能不很成熟,但往往能改变对一个地区的地质成因理论的认识,形成完整的陨石坑证据链可能需要几代科学家的不断努力。
