Estimation of the stress state of the Earth’s crust and the upper mantle in the area of the Southern Kuril Islands

The catastrophic Shikotan earthquake of October 4 (5), 1994, occurred in the Pacific Ocean. Its focus was located 80 km eastward of Shikotan Island. The stress state of the Earth’s crust in this area was estimated by the method of the cataclastic analysis of the whole range of the earthquake mechanisms. The performed reconstruction of the parameters of the current stress state of the Earth’s crust and the upper mantle in the area of the Southern Kuril Islands made it possible to establish that this area is characterized, on the one hand, by the presence of extensive areas of steady behavior of the stress tensor parameters and, on the other hand, by the presence of local sections of anomalously fast changes in these parameters.     

On the Origin of the Carat as the Unit of Weight for Gemstones

The carat is the unit of weight for diamonds and other gemstones.It corresponds to the average weight of the seeds of a leguminous tree.What kind of tree is this?We have studied the samples from Ethiopia,Egypt,Cyprus and the United States.The tree is neither“Kuara“nor“Locust“（Robina pseudoacacia Linn.）,but rather Carob(Ceratonia Siliqua).In Ethiopia,as called by local inhabitants,“Kuara“is a species of Erythrina-E.brucei rather than E.abyssinica.As might be expected,using the seeds as a means of weighing an extremely valuable commodity is not very scientific.Before 1907,at various times and in various countries,there were at least twenty-three stan-dards for the carat ranging from 187.00mg to 215.990mg.The metric carat equal to 200mg was proposed in Paris in 1907.It was adopted in the United States on July1,1913 and now is the world-accepted standard.But in reality,the standard of the carat is still confused with respect to its usage throughout the world .This is why the author reiterates that the standard of the car-at should be integrated with the metric system.     

Bursting the limits of time： the reconstruction of geohistory in the age of revolution

Bursting the Limits of Time by the distin- guished historian of geology Martin Rudwick is a massive, two-part book. The first part contains what he calls a synchronous history of what eventually became historical geology in western Europe between the time of de Sans- sure＇s epoch-making ascent of Mont Blanc in 1787 and the discovery of the Kirkdale hyaena cave by Buckland in the winter of 1821-1822,

Macro fracture systems of the granites controlled by the tectonism: A case study of the Dangjiasi pluton in the northeastern margin of the Gonghe BasinSCIEI北大核心CSCD

花岗岩中先存裂缝系统的识别、评价与建模,关系到干热岩热能提取的有效性、规模性、安全性,是地热能勘查、开采的难点与关键点。本文对共和盆地东北部干热岩勘察开采示范区紧邻的当家寺岩体开展了详细地质野外调查及综合分析,观测了花岗岩体内裂缝的产状、类型和样式,详细解剖了岩体裂缝系统组成及空间分布,探讨了构造作用对裂缝系统形成的时限、动力学成因的控制。研究发现其宏观裂缝系统以构造破裂缝为主,同时还发育少量的成岩缝。构造缝主要由小尺度断裂、火成岩脉、石英脉、方解石脉及多期节理缝共同构成;在岩体不同分区部位的断裂、脉体及节理等裂缝体系发育差异明显,脉体、节理受临近断层控制,其三者走向具有较好的相似性,且存在明显的多期次性。根据产状、交切关系及应力机制可以划分为5种构造破裂类型:单一应力场形成的节理系、叠加先期形成单向滑移的共轭节理组、持续走滑剪切形成的雁列石英脉与共轭节理组合、拉张形成的岩脉及脉内雁列节理组、多期次叠加形成的网状裂缝。宏观裂缝系统的形成与三叠纪末期碰撞后伸展、侏罗-白垩纪区域性隆升、渐新世-中新世中期走滑断裂活动、中新世晚期以来走滑-逆冲转换等有关。现存大量共轭剪节理形成应力场与现今最大主应力方向(NE)有差异,反映了古走滑剪切构造作用的影响。宏观裂缝系统的差异分布,不仅对花岗岩型干热岩热储层规模、质量、分布有约束,也控制着后期的建储与改造。

Tectonic Interpretation of the Earthquake istribution in the Contiguous Continent of the United States

With increasing high-quality geological and geophysical data it becomes clear that seismicity of the continents is characterized by linear patterns which are closely associated with tectonic features. The aim of this paper is to give reasonable interpretation for the earthquake distribution in the contiguous continent of the United States. Seismic lines and earthquake concentrated zones are defined, which reflect the characteristics of the continental seismotectonics. Similarities and differences in seismotectonics between the continental part of China and the contiguous continent of US are analysed. It is demonstrated that the spatial distribution of earthquakes can provide the information of the active structures in the earth's crust. The authors consider that the patterns of continental seismotectonics are not only controlled by the pre—existing tectonic frameworks and the current boundary dynamic conditions, but also possibly affected by dynamic factors of global tectonics at a higher level.     

On the Age of the Dongtang Formation in the Hengyang Basin of Hunan and the Cretaceous and Tertiary Boundary

Since the coexistence of the Cretaceous and Palaeocene was ascertained in the Hengyang Basin of Hunan in the middle of the 1960's, the Cretaceous and Tertiary boundary has been discussed in several papers, but it still remains controversal. The points at issue are the connotation, stratigraphical position and lateral correlation of the Dongtang (or Chejiang) Formation.     

埃达克质岩与Cu-Au成矿作用关系的初步探讨

近来的研究发现，埃达克质岩与Au、Cu、Mo等浅成低温热液矿床及斑岩矿床有密切的关系。我们的研究表明：(1)我国的斑岩铜矿大多与埃达克质岩有关，如德兴、沙溪、多宝山、乌奴格吐山和新近发现的东疆土屋斑岩铜矿等，有些被划归与富碱侵入岩或A型花岗岩有关的斑岩铜矿，如玉龙，也具有埃达克质岩的地球化学特征；(2)华北地区的Au矿床大多与埃达克质岩有关，最典型的如胶东和小秦岭；(3)长江中下游地区的Cu、Au、Mo矿床的岩浆岩大多为埃达克质岩。埃达克质岩与成矿作用之所以密切相关，其原因在于它们在地壳深部形成的条件和环境类似，这就为Au、Cu、Mo等的找矿开辟了一个新的思路。埃达克质岩浆是玄武质岩石在高压、高温和含水条件下熔融形成的，上述条件有利于Cu、Au、Mo等金属元素溶解进入熔体。关于找矿方向，文中指出3点：(1)埃达克质岩发育的地区可能是矿床聚集的地区；(2)与消减作用有关的埃达克岩更有利于成矿元素的富集，对于中国来说，晚元古宙-古生代的古亚洲洋造山带内消减作用广泛发育，有巨大的找矿前景；(3)找矿工作应围绕埃达克质岩体及周围地质体进行。     

Geology and mineralization of the Tiegelongnan supergiant porphyry-epithermal Cu (Au,Ag) deposit (10 Mt) in western Tibet,China: A review

The Tiegelongnan Cu(Au,Ag)deposit in central Tibet contains more than 10 Mt of copper ranking 29 th in the world.It is characterized by typical porphyry-epithermal alteration and mineralization.In order to improve the understanding of porphyry-epithermal copper deposit in Tibet,new zircon U-Pb age and sulfur isotope data along with published data in the Tiegelongnan are presented to investigate the formation and preservation mechanism.Ore-related intrusive rocks in the Tiegelongnan including Early Cretaceous(about 120 Ma)granodiorite porphyry and diorite porphyry are closely related to the northward subduction of Bangongco-Nujiang ocean.Sulfur mainly comes from deep magma,and ore-forming fluid is affected by both magmatic and meteoric water.The metallogenic setting of Tiegelongnan is consistent with those of Andean porphyry copper deposits in South America.The cover of the Meiriqiecuo Formation volcanic rocks,Lhasa-Qiangtang collision and India-Eurasian collision have significance in the preservation and uplift of the deposit.The formation,preservation and discovery of Tiegelongnan play an important role in exploration of ancient porphyry-epithermal deposits in Tibet.     

东昆仑祁漫塔格克停哈尔斑岩型铜钼矿找矿突破思路及找矿模型

东昆仑之祁漫塔格成矿带以矿床类型、金属种类丰富多样为特征,以矽卡岩型矿床为典型,是地质学者研究的热点地区之一。近年来此成矿带中的斑岩型铜钼矿找矿不断有新的突破,2013年在该成矿带东侧克停哈尔地区又新发现一典型斑岩型铜钼矿。矿区地层以古元古代金水口岩群为主,岩性为片麻岩、大理岩等变质岩,华力西期、印支期中酸性岩体广泛侵入,后者为赋矿岩石,岩体内有隐伏的小斑岩体及隐爆角砾岩,矿区北西向、北东向构造发育,有多个物化探异常分布。本区找矿突破是在全面认识分析以上成矿地质条件、物化探异常特征,类比已知典型铜钼矿床基础上,初步建立寻找斑岩型矿床的找矿思路,并据此思路开展勘查工作,最终取得了找矿突破,进而总结出克停哈尔斑岩型铜钼矿的找矿思路方法,建立了地质-地球化学-地球物理综合信息找矿模型,为区域上开展同类型矿床的找矿工作提供了思路和方向。     

富铜斑岩岩浆形成机制与演化过程

斑岩铜矿在现代经济和科学中扮演了重要的角色,已成为一种最重要的铜矿床类型。自Schwartz(1947)首次使用"斑岩铜矿(porphyry copper deposit)"术语以来,地质学家对其开展了系统研究,取得一系列重要进展。本文对斑岩铜矿成矿岩浆形成机制及演化过程的研究进展进行了总结与回顾。结果显示,富铜斑岩岩浆的形成经历了在洋壳俯冲或大陆岩石圈地壳拆沉机制下形成含矿岩浆,中间岩浆房岩浆的结晶分异与成矿流体、成矿物质的富集,以及富成矿流体与成矿物质的岩浆(富矿斑岩岩浆)上侵至地壳浅部结晶固化并与围岩、地下水相互作用等过程,斑岩铜矿是该"生产线"的"终端产品"。最后,本文对斑岩铜矿形成机制待进一步研究的一些问题进行了思考与概括。     

安徽庐枞沙溪斑岩铜矿蚀变及矿化特征研究

沙溪斑岩铜矿是长江中下游成矿带中部庐枞火山岩盆地外围的一个大型铜矿床.本文在前人工作基础上,基于详细的野外观察和系统的岩相学、矿相学工作,详细研究了矿床的蚀变特征及分带.结果表明,矿床的蚀变类型有钾硅酸盐化、青磐岩化、长石分解蚀变和高岭土化,从深到浅依次发育有钾硅酸盐化、长石分解蚀变叠加钾硅酸盐化、长石分解蚀变和高岭土化等蚀变.确定了矿化特征、矿物生成顺序并划分了成矿阶段,即:钾硅酸盐阶段、石英硫化物阶段和石英碳酸盐阶段,其中,石英硫化物阶段又可进一步分为石英硫化物亚阶段和绿帘石-绿泥石亚阶段.基于蚀变及矿化特征认为,沙溪铜矿床的矿化始于钾硅酸盐阶段的晚期,石英硫化物亚阶段是黄铜矿主要的沉淀阶段,石英碳酸盐阶段也对成矿贡献了部分铜质.与世界上不同构造环境的典型斑岩铜矿床对比认为,沙溪矿床总体上与这些矿床的蚀变、矿化特征类似;与陆缘弧、岛弧、陆内碰撞造山后伸展环境矿床在矿体产出位置、蚀变分带方面相似;而由于围岩性质的差异,与板内环境的德兴矿床在矿体位置、蚀变分带方面存在差异,但是二者在脉体类型特别是与矿化关系密切的脉体特征上较为一致.因此,对于斑岩型矿床而言,构造背景可能控制了其岩浆的形成、演化以及含矿性,而岩浆岩最终定位的深度、围岩等条件则控制了其蚀变、矿化特征.     

埃达克质岩与成矿:困惑与探索

根据起源于下地壳的中酸性岩浆岩的成分变化,可以约束其源区深度以及地壳最小厚度,为大陆板内成矿作用的深部过程研究提供重要信息。全球范围内,许多世界级斑岩铜矿和浅成热液矿化系统与同期的埃达克质岩存在密切的时空与成因联系,在国内主要成矿区带也识别出与金属成矿作用有关的埃达克(质)岩。与俯冲过程无关的埃达克质岩的识别,使我们有可能结合其他地质证据构建完全不同于Sillitoe(1972)B型俯冲环境的斑岩铜矿成矿模式的大陆板内斑岩(夕卡岩)型金属矿床成矿模式。对于规模巨大、矿质主要源自地幔的热液矿床的形成,埃达克(质)岩可能是必要条件,但不是充分条件。埃达克(质)岩的成矿潜力通过地幔物质加入而获取,埃达克(质)岩的成矿专属性由上地幔成矿元素分布特征决定。与俯冲有关的埃达克质岩浆之所以有利于成矿,重要的原因是存在大量来自俯冲板片的高压、高温流体以及俯冲板片熔融形成高氧逸度(fO2)的熔体,但产出在大陆板内背景、与俯冲无关的埃达克(质)岩的成矿机制还不清楚。根据现代资源勘查理念,结合综合地质信息分析,埃达克质岩具有实际找矿意义。     

Geochemical studies on REE and trace elements from several Cu-Au deposits along the lower Yangtze metallogenic valley, central-southern Anhui Province

The Yangtze Valley was one of the most important metallogenic regions during the Jurassic-Cretaceous period in East China, where more than 200 polymetallic Cu-Fe-Au, Mo, Zn, Pb, Ag deposits have been found. Trace elements were chemically analyzed and the relevant data were collected from literature for the Yanshanian (Mesozoic) igneous rocks which have close relationship with Cu-Au mineralization. Copper mineralization in the lower Yangtze Valley can be divided into three major types: skarn type, porphyry type and volcanic type. The porphyry type is of rare occurrence, such as the Shaxi porphyry copper deposit in the northern part of the lower Yangtze metallogenic valley. This paper focuses on the REE and trace element geochemistry of several Cu-Au deposits along the lower part of Yangtze metallogenic valley in Anhui. The results showed that there are differences in REE distribution for these four types of Cu-Au mineralization, which confine the sources of REE and trace elements as well as other mantle and transitional compatible elements. The results of both REE and trace element geochemical studies showed that these elements with different characteristics have different origins, probably representing different sources of Cu-Au deposits in the deep crust and upper mantle environments. The 40Ar/39Ar dating of one biotite sample gave an age of 131 Ma with a high level of confidence, which represents the age of formation of the Shaxi porphyrite intrusive with porphrytic Cu-Au mineralization, which is consistent with that of the majority of the adjacent acid intrusives with mass Cu-Au mineralization along the Yangtze metallogenic belt in the Yanshanian period (Mesozoic). This is the first attempt to use the high precision method to date the Shaxi porphyrite intrusive.     

庐枞盆地大倪庄铜矿床地质特征、成岩时代及成因探讨

大倪庄铜矿是庐枞盆地内部近年来发现的一处小型斑岩型矿床。本次工作以大倪庄铜矿为研究对象,基于详细的野外观察和系统的岩相学、矿相学工作,总结了矿床的蚀变特征,即主要发育:钾硅酸盐化、黄铁绢英岩化、青磐岩化、碳酸盐化蚀变;确定了矿化特征、矿物生成顺序并划分了成矿阶段,即:钾硅酸盐化阶段、硫化物阶段、碳酸盐化阶段,其中硫化物阶段可进一步划分为石英硫化物亚阶段、绿帘石-绿泥石亚阶段。通过对与成矿有关的侵入岩体(正长斑岩)采用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年,获得正长斑岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为(126.6±1.8)Ma,形成时代为早白垩世,对应于盆地内双庙旋回岩浆侵入活动。通过与其他区域相似矿床对比分析,探究了此类矿床控矿因素,为该地区斑岩型铜矿找矿勘查提供参考。

柴达木盆地南缘祁漫塔格-鄂拉山地区发育斑岩-矽卡岩型铜多金属矿床,成矿主元素为Cu、Mo、Pb、Zn,大部分矿床伴生Au、Ag。斑岩型和矽卡岩型矿（化）体共生于同一个矿区之中,是这类矿床的一个重要特点。与成矿有关的侵入体是印支期的中酸性小岩体,它们具有浅成_超浅成和高侵位等特点。斑岩-矽卡岩矿床的成岩年龄和成矿年龄一致,形成于中三叠世至晚三叠世。它们是东昆仑造山带晚碰撞造山阶段壳-幔作用（幔源岩浆底侵-岩浆混合）的产物,与东昆仑地区这一时期的矽卡岩型铁多金属矿床、热液脉状多金属矿床,以及造山型金矿床共同构成了一个矿床成矿系列。     

沙溪斑岩型铜(金)矿床成矿地球化学研究及靶区圈定

沙溪和菖蒲山地区位于扬子金属成矿带中部,前者是一个已经探明并圈定地质储量的中型斑岩型铜(金)矿床.本文通过地质-地球化学-地球物理综合研究,在沙溪矿床的邻区———菖蒲山地区预测并应用高精度地球物理方法圈定了一个与已知矿床规模相近的斑岩铜矿成矿异常区,该异常区由硫化物矿化所引起,呈北北东展布,长1500m,宽500m,总面积接近0.8km2。本文提出了一个斑岩型铜矿的控矿模型,结合区域资料和前人关于我国铜矿成矿研究成果,综合分析得出,本区为形成大型斑岩型铜(金)矿床的有利成矿远景区。
