长江中下游地区早白垩世埃达克质岩的大地构造背景及其成矿意义

长江中下游地区是中国重要的铜资源基地之一。该成矿带广泛发育与Cu-Au成矿作用密切相关的早白垩世火成岩。大多数与成矿有关的中酸性侵入岩具有类似埃达克岩的地球化学特征,即富集Sr而贫HREE(如:Y和Yb);但它们具有负的εNd(t)值和相对富集的Sr同位素初始比值(>0.704.),因此,被称为埃达克质岩。根据岩石化学数据,研究区埃达克质侵入岩多数属于高钾钙碱性系列,部分属于钙碱性系列;而火山岩和A型花岗岩类由于其高钾和富铁特征而属于钾质碱性系列。岩石地球化学资料显示,与成矿作用有关的中酸性埃达克质侵入岩经历了复杂的成岩过程,至少包括在深位岩浆房(>35～40 km深度)的分离结晶和在高位岩浆房内的分离结晶或AFC过程两个阶段。同时不排除有下地壳直接熔融形成的埃达克质熔体参与的可能性。富钾的火山岩则是原生岩浆在深位岩浆房(>40-50 km深度)经镁铁矿物的分离结晶过程演化而来。基于长江中下游地区及其邻区的区域地质构造、早白垩世岩浆岩的岩石化学和地球化学特征和岩浆活动的时空演变特征的综合分析,推测该成矿带在早白垩世早期处于大陆边缘岩浆弧内陆一侧,岩浆活动与古太平洋板块的斜向俯冲作用有关;晚期由于俯冲板片迁移(变陡),岩浆岩具有弧后环境特征。俯冲板片上部所释放的超临界流体提高了地幔     

长江中下游地区燕山晚期基性岩浆活动的记录

江苏省宁镇地区位于长江中下游沿江成矿带的最东端,是长江中下游成矿带的重要组成部分,蒋庙岩体是宁镇地区唯一的基性岩体.对此岩体进行了锆石U-Pb年代学、矿物化学、岩石地球化学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素研究,讨论了其成因及地幔源区性质.岩体主要由橄榄辉长岩、角闪辉长岩和辉石闪长岩组成,其中辉石闪长岩的锆石LA-ICP-MS(laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) U-Pb年龄为121±1 Ma.锆石ε_Hf(t)值介于-2.9~-6.4.全岩地球化学研究显示岩石样品富钠低钾,富集轻稀土元素,重稀土元素亏损不明显,富集大离子亲石元素(如K、Ba、Sr等),亏损高场强元素(如Nb、Ta、Ti、Zr、Hf等).蒋庙基性侵入岩在长江中下游地区中生代岩浆岩中具有最高的ε_Nd(t)值以及最低的(87Sr/86Sr)_i值,其Sr-Nd同位素组成介于软流圈地幔(depleted MORB mantle,DMM)-富集岩石圈地幔(enriched mantle Ⅱ,EMⅡ)之间.研究认为,蒋庙岩体应来源于软流圈地幔和富集岩石圈地幔的混合组分,可能有少量的俯冲板片物质加入源区,并在成岩过程中经历了一定程度的结晶分异.结合区域地质、年代学、矿物学和地球化学资料,表明蒋庙岩体的形成可能与古太平洋板块俯冲事件密切相关.      

秘鲁北部奇克拉约地区始新世-渐新世侵入岩时代、成因和构造环境

为充分认识秘鲁北部海岸岩基带始新世以来的构造岩浆演化特征,探讨侵入岩形成时代、岩石成因及其构造环境,在海岸岩基带自西向东系统采集侵入岩样品。锆石U-Pb年代学数据显示侵入岩时代分两期,分别为52～47 Ma和36～28 Ma,具有自西向东逐渐变新的特征。样品岩石地球化学具有钙碱性-高钾钙碱性特征,明显富集Rb、Ba、K、U等大离子亲石元素,相对亏损Nb、Ta、P和Ti高场强元素;球粒陨石标准化稀土元素配分模式均表现为轻稀土元素富集的右倾型,具有弱的Eu负异常。Sr/Y-Y图解和Rb-(Y+Nb)图解显示岛弧岩浆岩的组成;Rb/Sr值和Th/U值接近壳源岩浆组成;Nb/Ta值和Zr/Hf值均接近平均陆壳组成;La/Ba-La/Nb图解指示具有岩石圈地幔源区的特征;A/MF-C/MF图解中多数样品落入基性岩的部分熔融区域。结合Nazca板块向南美大陆板块俯冲的构造背景及样品地球化学和年代学数据特征,认为两期侵入岩的岩浆具有同源特征,岩浆源区可能源于基性下地壳的部分熔融,并有岩石圈地幔物质混染;秘鲁北部在Nazca板块低角度平板俯冲作用下,岩浆弧向东迁移,同时地壳隆升和增厚时限较中南部地区的...     

北祁连走廊南山西水地区加里东期大野口埃达克质闪长玢岩的成因及其地质意义

北祁连走廊南山北坡西水地区的加里东期大野口岩体中闪长玢岩地球化学的研究表明,该套岩石的SiO_256%,Al_2O_315%,Na_2OK_2O,富集大离子亲石元素和轻稀土元素,具正Eu异常,富集Sr元素、亏损重稀土元素Yb和Y,具有较高的Sr/Y值,表现出明显的埃达克岩的地球化学性质。结合岩体产出的时空位置,认为大野口岩体形成于奥陶纪与板块俯冲作用相关的俯冲洋壳部分熔融和壳幔岩浆混合作用。     

鄂东南地区晚中生代侵入岩的地球化学和成因及对岩石圈减薄时限的制约

鄂东南地区侵入岩是长江中下游地区晚中生代岩浆岩带的重要组成部分,但其成因和构造背景的研究显得薄弱.本文在前期工作的基础上,开展鄂东南地区侵入岩的主量、微量和稀土元素地球化学特征的研究,探讨地球化学特征所蕴含的成因和岩石圈减薄的时限.鄂东南地区侵入岩具有高碱富钾特征,微量元素以富集大离子亲石元素和轻稀土元素,而亏损高场强元素(Nb、Ta和Ti)为特征.研究认为鄂东南地区中生代侵入岩不能完全归为埃达克岩,早期中(酸)性岩具有埃迭克岩的地球化学特征,晚期酸性岩明显不同于埃达克岩.鄂东南地区侵入岩的地球特征表明它们是富集地幔部分熔融形成的岩浆同化混染了下地壳物质并发生分离结晶作用的产物.结合年代学和地球化学特征,初步认为早白垩世(132～128Ma)可能是长江中下游地区岩石圈减薄高峰时间.     

大别山北缘西段双桥中生代火山岩地球化学及锆石U-Pb同位素年代学

首次对大别山北缘西段(河南省境内)中生代火山岩进行了锆石原位U-Pb同位素测年。结果表明,罗山县双桥火山岩集中区石英安山岩锆石LA-ICP-MS U/Pb年龄为133.1±1.5 Ma,与大别东段中生代火山岩主体毛坦厂组的时代一致,属早白垩世,稍早于或与大别山区大规模花岗岩岩基侵位时代相同;与长江中下游地区的宁芜和庐枞盆地火山岩喷发时间同步,可能同属中国东部中生代巨量岩浆活动的重要组成部分,与太平洋板块斜向俯冲引起的大陆岩石圈重力不稳而产生的拆沉导致岩石圈强烈减薄深部动力学过程相联系。大别山西段早白垩世火山岩属高钾钙碱性系列粗安岩-英安岩-流纹岩组合。中酸性火山岩显示轻稀土元素富集、重稀土元素强烈亏损、弱或基本无负Eu异常的稀土元素配分模式以及高Sr低Yb特征,反映岩浆部分熔融源区残余有石榴石,说明当时存在加厚的成熟陆壳。高(87Sr/86Sr)i(0.707 56)、极低的εNd(t)(-20.1)和大离子亲石元素富集、高场强元素Nb、Ta明显亏损,显示岩浆源区的壳源性质。以上特征反映大别山地区该时期岩石圈伸展程度和软流圈上涌规模远不如长江中下游同时期以幔源为主的中基性火山岩发育的宁芜和庐枞地区。     

安徽宣城茶亭铜金矿床赋矿石英闪长玢岩锆石U-Pb年龄及岩石成因

安徽宣城茶亭Cu-Au矿床是长江中下游成矿带内新发现的一个斑岩型矿床。文章对该矿床赋矿石英闪长玢岩进行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素年龄及岩石主量与微量元素、Sr-Nd同位素和锆石Lu-Hf同位素分析,旨在探讨其岩浆起源和岩石成因。锆石U-Pb同位素年龄测定结果显示,赋矿石英闪长玢岩形成年龄为137.8±1.3 Ma(MSWD=0.72),为早白垩世岩浆活动的产物。岩石主量元素显示其具富碱富钠特征,为亚碱性准铝质高钾钙碱性系列岩石。岩石微量元素显示其富集大离子亲石元素K、Rb、Sr、Ba和轻稀土元素,弱富集Zr和Hf,亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti等,稀土元素配分型式表现为无明显Eu异常。岩石(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i值介于0.706403~0.707903之间,ε_(Nd)(t)值介于-7.4~-13.3之间(t=137.8 Ma)。锆石ε_(Hf)(t)值为-4.25~-11.75(t=137.8 Ma)。主量元素、微量元素、Sr-Nd同位素和锆石Hf同位素地球化学特征均指示,赋矿石英闪长玢岩可能是富集岩石圈地幔与扬子下地壳物质部分熔融形成的岩浆混合后侵位的产物。对比长江中下游成矿带断隆区和断凹区侵入岩发现,宣城茶亭矿床赋矿石英闪长玢岩与长江中下游成矿带断凹区(宁芜、庐枞矿集区等)侵入岩,无论是岩石主量与微量元素地球化学特征还是同位素地球化学特征都存在一定差异,而与断隆区(铜陵矿集区)赋矿岩浆岩表现出一致性,暗示宣城茶亭矿床赋矿石英闪长玢岩与长江中下游成矿带断隆区岩浆岩有着基本一致的成岩物质来源和岩石成因机制,是富集岩石圈地幔熔融岩浆及其引起的下地壳物质部分熔融岩浆发生岩浆混合作用并伴随着一定程度的分离结晶作用进而浅成侵位形成。     

宁镇地区安基山侵入岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

对宁镇地区安基山岩体主要岩石类型花岗闪长斑岩的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年结果表明, 安基山岩体的花岗闪长斑岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为(106.9±0.9)Ma, 代表了岩体形成年龄, 岩体形成于早白垩世晚期; 安基山岩体的形成明显晚于铜陵等地高钾钙碱性中酸性侵入岩形成时代, 揭示出宁镇地区中酸性钙碱性岩浆活动及其成矿响应是中生代长江中下游成矿带大规模岩浆活动的另一期成岩成矿事件; 宁镇地区铜多金属成矿作用在时间、空间和成因上与107 Ma左右的钙碱性中酸性岩浆活动有密切的联系, 区内成岩成矿作用是一个连续的过程; 宁镇地区钙碱性中酸性岩浆活动的地球动力学背景对应中国东部中生代岩石圈拆沉减薄事件; 长江中下游地区岩石圈拆沉从130 Ma左右开始, 可能一直持续到107 Ma以后.      

长江中下游庐枞火山岩盆地南侧钾质侵入岩带的成因

庐枞火山岩盆地南侧的钾质侵入岩带由正长岩-石英正长岩-正长花岗岩组成,以石英正长岩为主。它们的形成时间介于123"130 Ma之间,峰值约为126 Ma,其中正长岩和石英正长岩的形成时间稍早,而正长花岗岩的形成时间略晚。整个钾质侵入岩带的侵位时间晚于庐枞盆地内的橄榄玄粗质火山作用约4"7 Ma,也是长江中下游地区除最东段的宁镇地区外中生代最晚的岩浆活动产物之一。地球化学上,该钾质侵入岩带以高钾、富碱、富集Rb、Th、U、K等强不相容元素和轻稀土元素、亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta和Ti为特征。它们的母岩浆主要是由富集型上地幔部分熔融形成的,从正长岩经石英正长岩到正长花岗岩的演化主要受矿物的分离结晶作用控制,地壳物质同化所起的影响不大。但与同样来自富集型上地幔部分熔融的庐枞盆地内火山杂岩的母岩浆相比,前者的母岩浆来源深度可能更大些或其中包含了更多来自软流圈地幔的组分。两者的演化路径也完全不同,钾质侵入岩带的母岩浆除经历过高压下的分离结晶作用外,晚期在低压下还经历过长石为主,可能还有黑云母的分离结晶,甚至上地壳物质一定程度的混染作用;而盆地内火山杂岩的母岩浆低压下矿物的分离结晶作用及上地壳物质的混染都不明显。庐枞盆地南缘的富钾侵入岩与盆地内的火山杂岩一样,地球化学上都具有明显的大陆弧的特征,暗示它们的岩浆源区可能形成于俯冲带环境,意味着扬子地块北缘先前(推测为古元古代晚期)曾发生过俯冲作用,上地幔的交代富集可能就与这次的俯冲作用有关。     

安庆-贵池矿集区宝树尖铜多金属矿床成因:来自岩石地球化学及年代学的约束

宝树尖铜多金属矿床位于长江中下游成矿带安庆-贵池矿集区,是一个新发现的矽卡岩型矿床。本文主要通过岩石地球化学和年代学方法来解释矿床的成因。锆石U-Pb年代学研究表明,宝树尖岩体形成于148. 6±3. 2Ma,是长江中下游燕山晚期的产物,为长江中下游成矿带内发现的一个较早的中酸性含矿侵入体。对于该成矿岩体及矿床的深入研究,将为区内燕山期岩浆活动及成矿提供一个不可多得的范例。岩石属于高钾钙碱性、钙碱性系列,地球化学特征显示为埃达克质岩;矿区矿石金属硫化物以方铅矿、闪锌矿、黄铜矿和黄铁矿为主,非金属矿物有透辉石、石榴石、透闪石、石英、钠长石、方解石、绿泥石和绿帘石等。矿区侵入岩主要由闪长岩和闪长玢岩组成,总体上具有高的全碱含量,低的AlT_2O_3、TiO_2、Fe_2O_3和P_2O_5含量,富集大离子亲石元素(U、Rb、Sr)和高场强元素(Nb、Ta、Ti),轻稀土富集、重稀土亏损。岩石具有高的La/Yb、Sr/Y比值,低的Yb、Y含量,属于埃达克质岩。锆石稀土元素配分图显示典型的轻稀土亏损、重稀土富集。锆石Ti温度计表明岩石形成的平均温度为674. 3℃。全岩Sr-Nd-Pb同位素特征表明岩石起源于俯冲洋壳的部分熔融。矿石黄铁矿δ~(34)S变化范围为7. 6‰～9. 6‰,表明成矿物质来源于岩浆热液和地层。锆石Eu异常特征和Ce~(4+)/Ce~(3+)比值表明形成岩石的岩浆具有高氧逸度,这有利于Cu、Au、Zn等成矿物质的迁移。结合区域地质背景,我们认为宝树尖矽卡岩型矿床的形成过程是:燕山期太平洋板块向中国东部俯冲,导致板片部分熔融产生埃达克质岩浆,最后经埃达克质岩浆分异形成的含矿气水热液在地壳浅部与上覆寒武系灰岩发生接触交代作用。     

Wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometric determination of Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th in komatiites

Komatiites are mantle-derived ultramafic volcanic rocks. Komatiites have been discovered in several States of India, notably in Karnataka. Studies on the distribution of trace-elements in the komatiites of India are very few. This paper proposes a simple, accurate, precise, rapid, and non-destructive wavelength-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometric technique for determining Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th in komatiites, and discusses the accuracy, precision, limits of detection, x-ray spectral-line interferences, inter-element effects, speed, advantages, and limitations of the technique. The accuracy of the technique is excellent (within 3%) for Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th and very good (within 4%) for Y. The precision is also excellent (within 3%) for Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th. The limits of detection are: 1 ppm for Sc and V; 2 ppm for Cr, Co, and Ni; 3 ppm for Cu, Zn, Rb, and Sr; 4 ppm for Y and Zr; 6 ppm for Nb; 10 ppm for Ba; 13 ppm for Pb; and 14 ppm for Th. The time taken for determining Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th in a batch of 24 samples of komatiites, for a replication of four analyses per sample, by one operator, using a manual WDXRF spectrometer, is only 60 hours.

高压微波消解法测定醋酸纤维过滤器采集的微尘粒子中的砷镉钴铬铜铁锰镍铅钒锌

最新的流行病学研究表明,空气中较高浓度的悬浮细颗粒可能对人类的健康有不利的影响。根据该项研究显示,由于心脏病、慢性呼吸问题和肺功能指标恶化而导致死亡率的升高与细尘粒子有关。这些研究结果已经促使欧盟于1999年4月出台了限制空气中二氧化硫、二氧化氮、氧化氮、铅和颗粒物含量的法案(1999/30/EC),对各项指标包括对可吸入PM10颗粒的浓度提出了新的限制性指标。PM10颗粒是指可以通过预分级器分离采集的气体动力学直径小于10μm的细颗粒。目前研究的兴趣重点逐步偏向PM2.5这些更细微颗粒物,PM2.5这种颗粒物对健康有明显的不利影响。在欧盟指令2008/50/EC中,对PM10和PM2.5都提     

Isotopic systematics of He,Ar, S,Cu, Ni,Re, Os,Pb, U,Sm, Nd,Rb, Sr,Lu, and Hf in the rocks and ores of the Norilsk deposits

This paper reports the first results of a study of 11 isotope systems (³He/⁴He, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar, ³⁴S/³²S, ⁶⁵Cu/⁶³Cu, ⁶²Ni/⁶⁰Ni, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd, ^206–208Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, Hf–Nd, U–Pb, and Re–Os) in the rocks and ores of the Cu–Ni–PGE deposits of the Norilsk ore district. Almost all the results were obtained at the Center of Isotopic Research of the Karpinskii All-Russia Research Institute of Geology. The use of a number of independent genetic isotopic signatures and comprehensive isotopic knowledge provided a methodic basis for the interpretation of approximately 5000 isotopic analyses of various elements. The presence of materials from two sources, crust and mantle, was detected in the composition of the rocks and ores. The contribution of the crustal source is especially significant in the paleofluids (gas–liquid microinclusions) of the ore-forming medium. Crustal solutions were probably a transport medium during ore formation. Air argon is dominant in the ores, which indicates a connection between the paleofluids and the atmosphere. This suggests intense groundwater circulation during the crystallization of ore minerals. The age of the rocks and ores of the Norilsk deposits was determined. The stage of orebody formation is restricted to a narrow age interval of 250 ± 10 Ma. An isotopic criterion was proposed for the ore-bearing potential of mafic intrusions in the Norilsk–Taimyr region. It includes several interrelated isotopic ratios of various elements: He, Ar, S, and others.     

Viscous, cohesive, non-Newtonian, depositing, radial slurry flow

Mining induced subsidence can significantly affect mining costs where major surface facilities and natural environment need to be protected. Overburden grout injection is a technology used to control coal mine subsidence by injecting the mine waste material extracted from the coal back into the inter-burden rock during longwall mining. The flowing slurry is here categorised as a nonlinear viscous cohesive (Bingham plastic) fluid. During longwall mining the grout slurry is pumped into the separated beds of the rock mass through a central vertical borehole, which is drilled deep into the inter-burden rock strata above the coal seam. However, a blockage can occur in the injection system when the slurry velocity falls below a certain critical threshold velocity, indicating a material phase change from cohesive-viscous to cohesive-frictional. In situ field injection tests through boreholes have been simulated at a smaller scale at the CSIRO laboratory in Brisbane by pumping the slurry through a radial disk (gap = 4 mm) from its centre. Laboratory experiments indicate a general, nonlinear, cohesive, viscous, frictional model for shear behaviour of the slurry, in which the material shear parameters are functions of the disk radial distance. Complete dimensional and dimensionless analytical solutions have been developed based on an approach related to Bingham–Herschel–Bulkley fluid mechanics. The derived formulae include relations for minimum pump pressure, local pressure and pressure gradient, wall shear stress, volume rate, velocity and velocity gradient. The theoretical results match the experimental measurements. The experiments covered slurries with maximum particle sizes of 0.5 to 2 mm with about 50% being larger than 100 µm. The viscosities at the various solids concentrations were measured with a standard torsion viscometer. This study differs from the previous research in several distinct aspects, namely, consideration of the variable shear parameters rather than fixed values, inclusion of total nonlinear behaviour, and implementation of a friction function to mimic behaviour of the deposited and consolidating stiff slurry, which can cause a significant pressure rise as a result of the increased shear resistance.

Bellechester,Minnesota, USA,lagoon collapses

Bellechester, Minnesota, is a small community of approximately 155 residents located on the county line between Goodhue and Wabasha counties in southeast Minnesota's karst region. Bellechester is served by a 21-year-old wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) consisting of three waste-stabilization ponds. On 28 April 1992 six sinkholes were discovered to have drained cell 2 of the WWTF resulting in the loss of approximately 8.7×10⁶ 1 of partially treated effluent and about 600 m³ of soil into previously undetected subsurface voids of unknown dimensions. In the week following the collapse, approximately 200 water wells located within a 5-km radius of the WWTF were sampled in an after-the-fact, emergency sampling program. Twelve samples with elevated fecal coliform levels, 18 samples with nitrate-nitrogen greater than the 10 mg/1 standard, and no samples with elevated chlorides were found. However, the elevated levels could not be unambiguously attributed to the WWTF collapse. This is the third WWTF to fail by sinkhole collapse in southeast Minnesota since 1974. All three collapsed lagoons have been located in similar geomorphic and stratigraphic settings. However, at least two lagoons have collapsed in the adjacent area in northeast Iowa, and these lagoons are located at different stratigraphic positions. Twenty-two WWTFs constructed in southeast Minnesota's karst region in the last 25 years have been identified as subject to potential sinkhole collapse. An unknown but significant number of manure storage lagoons, flood control structures, etc., have also been constructed in the karst region and are at risk. Public agencies are beginning to develop plans to deal with the risk associated with existing and future waste lagoons in this environment. The critical hydrogeologic parameters that can be used to prioritize the risk of collapse at existing facilities include: (1) the lithology of the first bedrock beneath each lagoon, (2) the thickness of surficial materials between the lagoon and the bedrock surface, (3) the presence and construction of liners (seepage rate), and (4) the proximity to existing sinkholes.     

Mercury,arsenic, antimony,and selenium contents of sediment from the Kuskokwim River,Bethel, Alaska,USA

The Kuskokwim River at Bethel, Alaska, drains a major mercury-antimony metallogenic province in its upper reaches and tributaries. Bethel (population 4000) is situated on the Kuskokwim floodplain and also draws its water supply from wells located in river-deposited sediment. A boring through overbank and floodplain sediment has provided material to establish a baseline datum for sediment-hosted heavy metals. Mercury (total), arsenic, antimony, and selenium contents were determined; aluminum was also determined and used as normalizing factor. The contents of the heavy metals were relatively constant with depth and do not reflect any potential enrichment from upstream contaminant sources.     

滇东南花岗岩与锡、银、铜、铅、锌多金属矿床的成因关系

滇东南锡、银、铅、锌多金属矿床主要分布在个旧、白牛厂、都龙3个矿区,而滇东南较大的3个花岗岩体又分别出露在3个矿区或附近.花岗岩体均形成于燕山晚期,岩石化学、矿物成分相似,富含锡、银、铅、锌、钨、铜等成矿元素.矿床主金属元素组合与岩体之间的距离由远而近出现由锡、钨、(铍、铌、钽)→锡、钨、(铁)、铜、铟→锡、铅、锌、银、铟、(锑)有规律的变化.花岗岩浆是成矿物质来源和成矿热源.岩浆侵入初期使上覆地层隆起产生背斜(凹陷部位成向斜);同时使地层产生一系列裂隙、压性断层或层间断裂;岩浆侵入晚期,这些断层再次活动,表现为张性,岩浆产生的含矿热液沿由其活动所造成的断裂迁移、充填、交代、沉淀而形成矿床.     

岩石密度和超高压岩石折返速率

在常温常压条件下对中国大陆科学钻CCSD主孔100-3000米岩心样品进行了密度测量,建立了密度连续剖面,并界定了不同超高压岩石的密度值。通过对比高温高压物性实验资料,岩石密度随着退变程度增强而降低,榴辉岩密度变化序列为3.52g/cm3→3.49g/cm3→3.07g/cm3→2.93g/cm3。超高压长英质岩石密度变化序列为3.00g/cm→2.80g/cm3→2.65g/cm3。上述实验资料是讨论不同折返阶段岩石所受浮力的基础,为研究折返速率大小提供了基本参数。本文通过折返板块运动平衡时,上浮力与粘滞力平衡这一关系式,定量研究了大陆俯冲板块的折返速率,认为密度差产生上浮力从而引起折返,温度对板块折返速率的影响最为显著;密度差大小、折返角度、折返板块大小对折返速率也有直接的影响。定量模拟分析表明,在温度高于850℃时,板块的折返速率可以超过100mm/a;当温度降至700℃时,折返速率则低于1.5mm/a。作者认为在折返早期,温度较高,板块快速折返至60-70km榴辉岩相深度;随着传导散热,温度降低,板块以较慢的速率折返至中下地壳。折返速率的估算表明,浮力是板块折返第一阶段(从>100km深部折返至<40km的中下地壳)的主要驱动力。
