现代长江沉积物地球化学组成的不均一性与物源示踪

长江沉积物从源到汇过程研究的关键是揭示长江沉积物的组成特征,准确识别其时空组成变化规律,这也是东部边缘海海陆相互作用研究和长江水系构造演化研究的关键.本文研究一些常用的元素地球化学参数在现代长江水系的河漫滩和悬浮沉积物中组成的时空变化特点.在稀土元素(REE)组成上,下游近河口段干流悬浮沉积物在季节性时间尺度上比较稳定,可以代表现代长江入海沉积物的平均组成,而长江主要支流和干流间REE组成变化较大,化学相态分析可以更好地揭示特定物源区的REE组成特征以及由矿物分异引起的REE参数变化.相比REE而言,悬浮物中Al/Ti与Zr/Rb比值更能敏感地指示不同物源区的源岩组成信息,且减弱水动力分选引起的粒级和矿物分异影响.长江入河口的干流悬浮物作为整个流域风化剥蚀细颗粒物质的平均混合,具有更好的源区平均组成的示踪特性;但在不同季节也存在不同的主导性源区,主要受控于流域内季风降雨区的迁移.在河流沉积物源汇过程重建中,要特别关注流域物质风化和输运的自然过程可能引起的这些地球化学参数变化.     

渤海钻孔物源示踪和河流沉积物扩散研究: 碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄和磷灰石原位地球化学元素双重约束

锆石和磷灰石是河流沉积物中常见的副矿物,由于各自的U-Pb年龄组成和原位地球化学元素组成在不同区域内存在显著差异,是进行河流物源示踪研究的理想矿物。基于此,利用在环渤海湾盆地主要汇入河流已发表的碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄,结合盆地晚第四纪钻孔的近地表碎屑物质的锆石U-Pb年龄,综合Kolmogorov-Smirnov统计方法的多维判别图（MDS）,系统对比分析了辽东湾、渤海中央盆地和莱州湾的物质来源。结果显示,辽东湾的物质主要来自辽河;渤海中央盆地和莱州湾的碎屑物质主要来自黄河。同时,利用激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子质谱仪（LA-ICP-MS）,对黄河下游（n=70）、胶东半岛的威海湾（n=120）、银滩湾（n=60）的现代河流沉积物和海岸砂开展了碎屑磷灰石微区原位（in situ）主微量元素分析。结果发现黄河与威海湾、银滩湾的碎屑物质不存在物源关系,结合该区域碎屑钾长石原位主微量元素的已有分析结果,进一步说明黄河与胶东半岛的海湾内的碎屑物质不存在物源关系。新的研究结果表明,将碎屑锆石、磷灰石原位地球化学分析相结合有助于更精准地判定河流的物源关系。     

长江现代河流沉积物石英ESR信号强度空间分布特征及其物源示踪意义

近年来,石英ESR信号强度在风成沉积和河流沉积中都已被证明为一种行之有效的物源示踪指标。文章以长江流域干流不同河段及其主要支流为研究对象,共采集20个现代河流沉积物样品,对其粒度组成特征及其石英自然E'₁心,辐照5000 Gy的Al心、Ti心的ESR信号强度空间分布特征及其物源示踪意义进行了探讨,主要取得了以下初步认识：1）长江流域沉积物从上游地区到中下游地区经历了长时间、长距离的搬运,经过了充分的混合,且呈现"沿程细化"之趋势;本研究的长江流域干流河段及其主要支流（河漫滩及江心洲）的沉积物主要以125~500 μm的粒径组分为主,约占全样组分的60%~90%（平均为80%）。2）从上游河段到中下游河段,长江主要支流和干流不同河段沉积物石英自然E'₁心,辐照后的Al心和Ti心ESR信号强度都表现出了较好的空间分异性,即上游河段处于低端元值域而下游河段处于高端元值域。3）长江上游地区以及汉江是长江中下游干流沉积物的主要贡献者,而中下游地区的鄱阳湖水系和洞庭湖水系对长江干流物质的贡献度非常低。

     

长江现代沉积物碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄及Hf同位素组成与物源示踪研究

为研究长江沉积物物质来源,对长江流域24个现代沉积物样品进行碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄测试,并对10个样品做Hf同位素分析,结果表明:长江河流沉积物的碎屑锆石多为岩浆成因。碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄主要有6组峰:2.4~2.6Ga,1.8~2.0Ga,700~1000Ma,400~550Ma,200~300Ma 和<65Ma,其中200~300Ma和700~1000Ma为主要的两组峰。锆石U-Pb年龄谱系可区分出长江4个区段,即金沙江段、川江段、长江中游段和下游段,与地理分段相吻合。结合Hf同位素研究,可认为长江流域沉积物中生代-新生代的锆石主要来自松潘-甘孜褶皱带和秦岭造山带; 古生代的锆石多来自秦岭造山带; 元古代-太古代的锆石则多来自扬子克拉通、华夏地块和大别造山带。     

土壤和围岩地球化学组成及气候对洞穴滴水水化学的影响——以湖北清江和尚洞为例

大气降水渗入土壤,穿过围岩,将气候与地表环境信息导入洞穴滴水,最终被洞穴沉积物所记录,因而研究土壤、围岩与洞穴滴水的地球化学组成及3者之间的联系对了解气候和环境信号的传递以及石笋古环境信息的正确解译十分重要。通过对比清江地区和尚洞上覆土壤、围岩与滴水的元素及锶同位素N(87Sr)/N(86Sr)地球化学组成特征,进而调查土壤和围岩对洞穴滴水水化学的影响。结果表明:滴水的n(Mg)/n(Ca)、n(Ba)/n(Ca)、n(Sr)/n(Ca)及N87Sr)/N(86Sr)介于土壤和围岩之间,说明滴水物质组成来自土壤和围岩的混合;滴水的n(S)/n(Ca)大于土壤和围岩,说明有第三端元的混入,可能是大气硫沉降的结果。通过模型计算可知,土壤和围岩对和尚洞滴水各元素组成的贡献并不相同,贡献的相对大小不仅与元素本身的地球化学性质有关,而且随气候和环境而发生变化。     

长江河流沉积物磁铁矿化学组成及其物源示踪

中国东部主要黄土分布区的Sr-Nd同位素物源示踪研究

不同地质背景物质的Sr-Nd同位素组成往往差异巨大,同时Sr-Nd同位素组成在搬运和沉积过程中相对元素组分更 难被改变,因此是物源示踪研究最常用和有效的手段之一。该研究测试了中国东部代表性黄土堆积的Sr-Nd同位素组成, 包括山东半岛、黄河下游沿岸黄土和下蜀黄土,发现与黄土高原黄土的Sr-Nd同位素特征存在明显差异,指示不同的物质 来源。同时发现,中国东部主要黄土分布区的来源物质可能主要来自其附近的干旱区具有近源性。山东半岛及其滨海黄土 主要来自黄泛平原和冰期暴露陆架的黄河沉积物;黄河下游沿岸黄土可能直接来自黄河河漫滩;下蜀黄土的细颗粒组成物 源还没有定论,需要进一步研究。中国东部局部区域黄土的形成可能与中更新世革命以来冰期气候条件下的荒漠化有关。     

滇西南思茅盆地盐岩Sr同位素特征及其对区域成盐作用的启示

滇西南思茅盆地是中国西部重要的中—新生代含钾盐盆地，但其成盐物质来源一直存在争议。文章测定了滇西南思茅 盆地磨黑地区钻孔中盐岩样品的87Sr/86Sr同位素比值，同时结合区域其他含盐带已发表的Sr同位素数据，讨论成盐物质来源。 磨黑地区盐岩的87Sr/86Sr比值介于0.708598~0.709333之间，与思茅盆地其他含盐带盐岩的87Sr/86Sr比值（0.707504~0.711069）一 致，较接近于中新生代海水的87Sr/86Sr比值（0.7068~0.7092），但87Sr/86Sr比值略高于海水，显示有陆源水混合现象。结合Sr同位 素证据与盆地演化史，一些地球化学和矿物特征，作者推测思茅盆地盐岩成盐物质来源主要是海水，存在少量陆源水的混入。     

Archaeological reconstruction of medieval lead production: Implications for ancient metal provenance studies and paleopollution tracing by Pb isotopes

The identification of metal provenance is often based on chemical and Pb isotope analyses of materials from the operating chain, mainly ores and metallic artefacts. Such analyses, however, have their limits. Some studies are unable to trace metallic artefacts or ingots to their ore sources, even in well-constrained archaeological contexts. Possible reasons for this difficulty are to be found among a variety of limiting factors: (i) problems of ore signatures, (ii) mixing of different ores (alloys), (iii) the use of additives during the metallurgical process, (iv) metal recycling and (v) possible Pb isotopic fractionation during metal production. This paper focuses on the issue of Pb isotope fractionation during smelting to address the issue of metal provenance. Through an experimental reconstruction of argentiferous Pb production in the medieval period, an attempt was made to better understand and interpret the Pb isotopic composition of ore smelting products. It is shown that the measured differences (outside the total external uncertainties of 0.005 (2*sd) for ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios) in Pb signatures measured between ores, slag and smoke are not due to Pb mass fractionation processes, but to (1) ore heterogeneity (Δ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb_slag-ores = 0.066) and (2) the use of additives during the metallurgical process (Δ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb_slag-ores = 0.083). Even if these differences are due to causes (1) and/or (2), smoke from the ore reduction appears to reflect the ore mining area without a significant disturbance of its Pb signature for all the isotopic ratios (Δ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb_smokes-ores = 0.026). Thus, because the isotopic heterogeneity of the mining district and additives is averaged in slags, slag appears as the most relevant product to identify ancient metal provenance. Whereas aiming at identifying a given mine seems beyond the possibilities provided by the method, searching for the mining district through analysis of the smelting workshop materials should provide a more appropriate approach in cases where no archaeological evidence of ancient mining is available. Furthermore, smoke Pb isotopic composition does not seem to be significantly affected by the metallurgical process. Paleopollution recorded in peat deposits could help to detect ancient mining production and workshops. Integrated collaboration between mining archaeologists and geochemists appears crucial to achieve this goal.     

Detrital zircon provenance of Neoproterozoic to Cenozoic deposits in Iran: Implications for chronostratigraphy and collisional tectonics

Ion-microprobe U–Pb analyses of 589 detrital zircon grains from 14 sandstones of the Alborz mountains, Zagros mountains, and central Iranian plateau provide an initial framework for understanding the Neoproterozoic to Cenozoic provenance history of Iran. The results place improved chronological constraints on the age of earliest sediment accumulation during Neoproterozoic–Cambrian time, the timing of the Mesozoic Iran–Eurasia collision and Cenozoic Arabia–Eurasia collision, and the contribution of various sediment sources of Gondwanan and Eurasian affinity during opening and closure of the Paleotethys and Neotethys oceans. The zircon age populations suggest that deposition of the extensive ~ 1 km-thick clastic sequence at the base of the cover succession commenced in latest Neoproterozoic and terminated by Middle Cambrian time. Comparison of the geochronological data with detrital zircon ages for northern Gondwana reveals that sediment principally derived from the East African orogen covered a vast region encompassing northern Africa and the Middle East. Although most previous studies propose a simple passive-margin setting for Paleozoic Iran, detrital zircon age spectra indicate Late Devonian–Early Permian and Cambrian–Ordovician magmatism. These data suggest that Iran was affiliated with Eurasian magmatic arcs or that rift-related magmatic activity during opening of Paleotethys and Neotethys was more pronounced than thought along the northern Gondwanan passive-margin. For a Triassic–Jurassic clastic overlap assemblage (Shemshak Formation) in the Alborz mountains, U–Pb zircon ages provide chronostratigraphic age control requiring collision of Iran with Eurasia by late Carnian–early Norian time (220–210 Ma). Finally, Cenozoic strata yield abundant zircons of Eocene age, consistent with derivation from arc magmatic rocks related to late-stage subduction and/or breakoff of the Neotethys slab. Together with the timing of foreland basin sedimentation in the Zagros, these detrital zircon ages help bracket the onset of the Arabia–Eurasia collision in Iran between middle Eocene and late Oligocene time.     

Geochemical characteristics of modern river sediments in Myanmar and Thailand: Implications for provenance and weathering

The elemental composition of organic matter and the major and trace element compositions of stream sediments from Myanmar (Ayeyarwady and Sittaung rivers) and Thailand (Mekong and Chao Phraya rivers, and their tributaries) were determined to examine their distributions, provenance, and chemical weathering processes. Higher total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) contents in the finer grained sediments indicate hydrodynamic energy may control their distributions. TOC/TN ratios indicate inputs of both aquatic macrophyte and higher vascular plant material to the river sediments. The major element abundances of the sediments are characterized by predominance of SiO₂ in coarser fractions and a marked negative correlation with Al₂O₃, representing primary grain size primarily control on SiO₂ content. Marked depletion of most labile elements (Na₂O, CaO, K₂O, Ba and Sr) relative to UCC (upper continental crust), indicate destruction of feldspar during chemical weathering in the source area or during transport. However, enrichment of some high field strength elements (Zr, Th, Ce and Y) relative to UCC and higher Zr/Sc ratios indicate moderate concentration of resistant heavy minerals in finer-grained samples. Discriminant diagrams and immobile trace element characteristics indicate that the Mekong, and Chao Phraya river sediments were largely derived from felsic sources with compositions close to typical rhyolite, dacite/granodiorite, UCC, I- and S-type granites. Relative enrichment of ferromagnesian elements (e.g. MgO, Cr, Ni) and high Cr/V and low Y/Ni ratios in Ayeyarwady and Sittaung sediments indicate the presence of a mafic or ultramafic component in their sources. The ICV (Index of Compositional Variability), CIA (Chemical Index of Alteration), PIA (Plagioclase Index of Alteration), α^Al, Rb/Sr and K₂O/Rb ratios indicate that the Ayeyarwady and Sittaung sediments record low to moderate degrees of chemical weathering in their source, compared to moderate to intense chemical weathering in the Mekong and Chao Phraya river basins. These results are compatible with existing major ion data for river waters collected at the same locations.     

碎屑重矿物分析对内蒙古西乌旗早二叠世寿山沟组的物源指示及构造意义

碎屑重矿物由于相对比较稳定,蕴含重要的成因信息,对其进行电子探针成分分析,能够还原岩石形成的物源区和盆地构造背景。内蒙古西乌旗早二叠世寿山沟组一段主要由砂岩夹砾岩等组成,二段主要由粉砂岩、泥岩等组成。重矿物分析表明,寿山沟组一段和二段砂岩重矿物主要有锆石、尖晶石和石榴子石等,指示其物源区为岩浆岩和变质岩。重矿物电子探针成分分析结果显示,电气石成分指示其具贫锂花岗岩和变沉积岩物源,尖晶石成分指示其具岛弧和洋中脊玄武岩类物源,石榴子石成分指示其具高级变质基性岩源区。综合物源分析显示,寿山沟组主要来源于迪彦庙蛇绿岩、锡林浩特杂岩和本巴图组玄武岩等。结合区域地质对比,认为寿山沟组形成于弧后盆地,古亚洲洋在早二叠世时期尚未闭合。     

扬子陆块西南缘3.8 Ga碎屑锆石及其地质意义

古老锆石和岩石的发现,是探索地球早期地质演化的关键.为进一步揭示扬子陆块基底物质组成和早期地壳形成演化,采用LA-ICP-MS锆石微区U-Pb测年,对扬子陆块西南缘禄丰地区东川群变质砂岩进行了年代学研究,发现3 822±21 Ma的古老碎屑锆石.这是目前在扬子陆块获得的第2颗>3.8 Ga的古老锆石,也是目前在该地区发现的最老锆石.变质砂岩碎屑物质主要包括4个峰值年龄（~2 320 Ma、~2 162 Ma、~2 036 Ma和~1 915 Ma）,2颗最年轻的锆石年龄基本限定了东川群早期最大沉积时限,与区域上火山岩时代相吻合.另外还包含少量中-晚太古代（2.6~2.9 Ga）和始太古代（3.7~3.8 Ga）的碎屑物质.Hf同位素组成显示这些碎屑锆石具有不同成因,其中2 674~3 822 Ma的碎屑锆石总体具有正的ε_Hf（t）值和2.9~3.9 Ga的两阶段模式年龄,暗示扬子陆块在冥古宙-古太古代时期就有一定规模的新生陆壳分布.古元古代（1.9~2.4 Ga）的岩浆活动除有少量古元古代（2.3~2.4 Ga）新生地壳组分熔融外,大多为太古宙（2.5~3.7 Ga）古老地壳部分熔融.中元古代更多表现为古老地壳的熔融和物质再循环.研究结果为深化扬子陆块早前寒武纪地质演化认识提供了新资料.      

Geochemical characterization of the siliciclastic rocks of Chitravati Group,Cuddapah Supergroup: Implications for provenance and depositional environment

Petrological and geochemical studies have been carried out on Pulivendla and Gandikota Quartzite from Chitravati Group of Cuddapah Supergroup to decipher the provenance and depositional environment. Both the units are texturally mature with sub-rounded to well-rounded and moderately to well-sorted grains. Majority of the framework grains are quartz, in the form of monocrystalline quartz, followed by feldspars (K-feldspar and plagioclase), mica, rock fragments, heavy minerals, with minor proportion of the matrix and cement. Based on major element geochemical classification diagram, Pulivendla Quartzite is considered as quartz-arenite and arkose to sub-arkose, whereas Gandikota Quartzite falls in the field of lith-arenite and arkose to sub-arkose. Weathering indices like CIA, PIA, CIW, ICV, Th/U ratio and A–CN–K ternary diagram suggest moderate to intense chemical weathering of the source rocks of these quartzites. Whole rock geochemistry of quartzites indicate that they are primarily from the first-cycle sediments, along with some minor recycled components. Also their sources were mostly intermediate-felsic igneous rocks of Archean age. The tectonic discrimination plots, Th–Sc–Zr/10 of both these formations reflect active to passive continental margin setting. Chondrite-normalized rare earth element (REE) patterns, and various trace element ratios like Cr/Th, Th/Co, La/Sc and Th/Cr indicate dominantly felsic source with minor contribution from mafic source. Th/Sc ratios of Pulivendla and Gandikota Quartzite are in close proximity with average values of 2.83, 3.45 respectively, which is higher than AUCC (\(\hbox {Th/Sc}=0.97\)), demonstrating that the contributions from more alkali source rocks than those that contributed to AUCC.

鄂尔多斯盆地北部侏罗系泥岩地球化学特征:物源与古沉积环境恢复

鄂尔多斯盆地北部侏罗系泥岩地球化学特征记录了当时重要的地质信息。通过对该区中侏罗统直罗组及延安组泥岩的X射线荧光常量元素分析以及ICP-MS微量、稀土元素分析对其源区构造背景、源岩属性进行了综合研究。与此同时,根据泥岩典型地球化学参数的垂向变化对其古沉积环境进行了恢复。研究结果表明:盆地北部侏罗系沉积岩与北邻阴山-大青山-乌拉山地区前寒武纪古老基底的片麻岩、麻粒岩、孔兹岩等变质岩系以及各时代侵入岩具有较大的亲缘性,是其主要物源。源区构造背景主要是与大陆岛弧相关的活动大陆边缘。Sr/Cu、Rb/Sr、CIA、Sr/Ba、V/（V+Ni）、Ce_anom等泥岩地球化学指标的垂向变化特征对古沉积环境的反演表明,从延安期→直罗组沉积早期→直罗组沉积晚期,古气候由温湿气候逐渐变得越来越干旱,水体古盐度整体上由微咸水相的淡水环境逐渐向半咸水相的淡水环境转变,古氧化还原环境为水体分层不强的还原环境。     

新疆库鲁克塔格南华系砂岩碎屑组成对其物源及盆地演化的指示

库鲁克塔格南华系记录了塔里木北缘同期的火山-沉积事件和蚀源区物质组成及演化的信息。该区不同剖面内南华系各组砂岩碎屑组分的统计分析显示,贝义西组砂岩在不同剖面内组成差异显著:西山口剖面以岩屑砂岩为主,且岩屑为火山岩岩屑与沉积岩岩屑,物源为再旋回地层,而依格孜塔格剖面以长石砂岩和岩屑长石砂岩为主,岩屑主要为变质岩岩屑,物源为下伏古元古代高级变质岩。砂岩碎屑组成在剖面上垂向的变化表明贝义西组沉积期与照壁山组沉积期间（725 Ma±）存在一个沉积转型事件,导致贝义西组之上的照壁山组、阿勒通沟组及特瑞艾肯组砂岩组成在不同区域趋于一致,转变为代表基底隆起-过渡大陆区物源的典型“长石砂岩”。南华系砂岩碎屑组成与大陆裂谷盆地沉积砂岩相似,且物源区存在由前裂谷地层-过渡裂谷肩部-切割裂谷肩部-克拉通内部的连续演化过程,是库满凹陷早期裂解的岩相学记录。     

科尔沁沙地粗—细组分的碎屑锆石U- Pb年龄特征：对定量物源及区域构造- 岩浆演化事件的指示

追踪干旱—半干旱地区大型沙地的物源和风- 河流相互作用机制对于理解陆地景观格局演变、地表过程与地貌动态以及大气圈和岩石圈之间的联系至关重要。然而,目前科尔沁沙地的物源仍存在较大争议,且缺乏具有统计意义的锆石U- Pb年龄数据库。因此,本研究对科尔沁沙地地表风成沙进行多点取样,根据不同粒级(＜63 μm和＞63 μm)选取1500颗碎屑锆石进行U- Pb测年分析,并利用逆向蒙特卡罗模型对其物源进行定量约束。结果表明,从目视定性的角度看,科尔沁沙地的碎屑锆石U- Pb年龄谱特征非常相似。但定量重建结果显示沙地的物源整体上以中亚造山带的贡献为主(50. 5%~61. 3%),然而东南部体现出华北克拉通的绝对优势(~75. 8%)。科尔沁沙地的物源存在空间异质性,沙地西部和北部的锆石年龄谱极为相似,与南部锆石年龄特征显著不同。科尔沁沙地的碎屑锆石U- Pb年龄特征基本不受粒度分异的影响,但沙地东南部除外。本文认为,风与河流的协同作用及其由此导致的沉积分异和再循环作用解释了科尔沁沙地碎屑锆石的U- Pb年龄特征。结合区域构造演化历史,科尔沁沙地在~2. 5 Ga和~1. 85 Ga的U- Pb年龄峰值分别是前寒武纪华北克拉通的生长、拼合与碰撞过程中的两期构造事件的产物。此外,~1. 7 Ga的锆石年龄可能是对Columbia超大陆聚合与裂解的综合响应。古生代以来的锆石年龄峰值(500~400 Ma、300~250 Ma、130~110 Ma)记录了在古亚洲洋的俯冲闭合、蒙古- 鄂霍次克海俯冲碰撞和古太平洋的俯冲、回退的区域构造背景下多期区域构造- 岩浆事件。
