Giant Mineral Deposits and Their Geodynamic Setting in the Lanping Basin, Yunnan, China

There are giant mineral deposits, including the Jinding Zn-Pb and Baiyangping Ag-Co-Cu, and otherimportant mineral deposits (e.g., Baiyangchang Ag-Cu, Jinman Cu deposits, etc.) in the Lanping Mesozoic-Cenozoic Basin, Yunnan Province, China. The tabular ore-bodies and some veins hosted in terrestrial clastic rocks of the Mesozoic-Cenozoic age and no outcropping of igneous rocks in the giant deposits lead to the proposal of syngenetic origin, but the giant mineral deposits are not stratabound (e.g. MVT, sandstone- and Sedex-type). They formed in a continental red basin with intense crust movement. The mineralization is controlled by structures and lithology and occurs in different strata, and no sedimentary nature and no exhalative sediments are identified in the deposits. The deposits show some relations with organic matter (now asphalt and petroleum) and evaporates (gypsum). The middle-low-temperature (mainly 110℃ to 280℃) mineralization took place at a depth of about 0.9 km to 3.1 km during the early     

Influence of syn-sedimentary faults on orogenic structure: examples from the Neoproterozoic–Mesozoic east Siberian passive margin

The east margin of the Siberian craton is a typical passive margin with a thick succession of sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Mesoproterozoic to Tertiary. Several zones with distinct structural styles are recognized and reflect an eastward-migrating depocenter. Mesozoic orogeny was preceded by several Mesoproterozoic to Paleozoic tectonic events. In the South Verkhoyansk, the most intense pre-Mesozoic event, 1000–950 Ma rifting, affected the margin of the Siberian craton and formed half-graben basins, bounded by listric normal faults. Neoproterozoic compressional structures occurred locally, whereas extensional structures, related to latest Neoproterozoic–early Paleozoic rifting events, have yet to be identified. Devonian rifting is recognized throughout the eastern margin of the Siberian craton and is represented by numerous normal faults and local half-graben basins.Estimated shortening associated with Mesozoic compression shows that the inner parts of ancient rifts are now hidden beneath late Paleozoic–Mesozoic siliciclastics of the Verkhoyansk Complex and that only the outer parts are exposed in frontal ranges of the Verkhoyansk thrust-and-fold belt. Mesoproterozoic to Paleozoic structures had various impacts on the Mesozoic compressional structures. Rifting at 1000–950 Ma formed extensional detachment and normal faults that were reactivated as thrusts characteristic of the Verkhoyansk foreland. Younger Neoproterozoic compressional structures do not display any evidence for Mesozoic reactivation. Several initially east-dipping Late Devonian normal faults were passively rotated during Mesozoic orogenesis and are now recognized as west-dipping thrusts, but without significant reactivation displacement along fault surfaces.     

Genesis of sandstone-type uranium deposits along the northern margin of the Ordos Basin,China

Sandstone-type U mineral resources are among the important sources for nuclear energy.The U deposits in the Ordos Basin in China form part of the northern segment of the sandstone-hosted Central Asian Uranium MegaProvince.Two types of mineralizations are recognized in this basin: "phreatic permeable type" and "interlayer permeable type",both exhibiting features equivalent to roll-front subtypes.The "interlayer permeable type" is widely accepted as the dominant mineralization type for sandstone-type uranium deposits within large-scale basins,also designated as the "interlayer oxidation zone type",based on the horizontal color zoning model representing changing redox conditions.Here we synthesize data from several drill holes within the Ordos Basin,which suggest that major Mesozoic tectonic movements controlled the evolution of the sedimentary system in the basin.These tectonic movements contributed to the formation of three angular unconformities and four parallel unconformities as inferred from the stratigraphic relationships.In addition,other features such as vertical color zoning,paleo-channel controlled tabular or lentoid ore bodies(without roll-type) and a group interlayer horizontal zoning of altered minerals are also documented.Sequence stratigraphic analysis indicates that the Ordos Basin generally witnessed four cycles of water level variations during Mesozoic.During the variations,three high water level and three low water level events were recorded.Biological characteristics imply that the Ordos Basin went through multiple arid to humid climatic evolutions during Mesozoic.Combining the newly documented features with some novel concepts on the hydrodynamic mechanism for supergene ore-forming fluids,we propose a metallogenic model which invokes the importance of tectonic movements and water level fluctuations to explain the genesis of uranium deposits along the northern margin of the Ordos Basin.     

Provenance record of late Maastrichtian–late Palaeocene Andean Mountain building in the Amazonian retroarc foreland basin (Madre de Dios basin,Peru)

Biostratigraphic, sedimentological and provenance analyses suggest that a proto‐Andean Cordillera already existed in southern Peru by late Maastrichtian–late Palaeocene times. A 270‐m‐thick stratigraphic section shows changes in depositional environments from shallow marine (early Maastrichtian) to non‐marine (late Maastrichtian) then back to estuarine (late Palaeocene) conditions. An erosional surface separates lower Maastrichtian from upper Maastrichtian deposits. Above this surface, the late Maastrichtian unit exhibits moderately developed palaeosols and syn‐sedimentary normal faults. The sedimentary evolution is accompanied by a decrease in sedimentation rate and by changes in provenance. Shallow marine lower Maastrichtian deposits have a cratonic provenance as shown by their low εNd(0) values (?15 to ?16) and the presence of Precambrian inherited zircon grains. The upper Maastrichtian deposits have a mixed Andean and cratonic origin with εNd(0) values of ~12.6 and yield the first Cretaceous and Permo‐Triassic zircon grains. Estuarine to shallow marine upper Palaeocene deposits have an Andean dominant source as attested by higher εNd(0) values (?6 to ?10) and by the presence of Palaeozoic and Late Cretaceous zircon grains. The changes in depositional environments and sedimentation rates, as well as the shift in detrital provenance, are consistent with a late Maastrichtian–late Palaeocene period of Andean mountain building. In agreement with recently published studies, our data suggest that an Andean retroarc foreland basin was active by late Maastrichtian–late Palaeocene times.     

Wide rift model in Bohai Bay Basin: insight into the destruction of the North China Craton

The Bohai Bay Basin is a Cenozoic extensional basin along the eastern aspect of Asia. Whether the Bohai Bay Basin is a pull-apart or rift basin is controversial. The Bohai Bay Basin exhibits a high density of extensional faults and records destruction of the North China Craton. Many structural analyses have been performed on the Bohai Bay Basin, especially the Tan-L and Taihang Mountain fault systems which control its boundary. The initial deposition of Kongdian Formation was mainly distributed along the boundary of Bohai Bay Basin during the Palaeocene–early Eocene. Subsequently, tectonic activity migrated toward the interior of the basin during deposition of Shahejie Formation in the middle Eocene–early Oligocene. Bohai Bay Basin crust was thickened in early Mesozoic time and has thinned since late Mesozoic time. The crustal strength profile of Bohai Bay Basin is characterized by very weak lower crust, which differs from that of adjacent crust. In regard to the crustal structure, lithospheric thickness, and extensional style, an alternative rift model is proposed. Initial Bohai Bay Basin rifts were characterized by metamorphic core complexes affecting the North China Craton, which reflects collapse of parts of the early Mesozoic intra-plate orogen. Furthermore, westward subduction of the Palaeo-Pacific Plate led to upwelling of asthenosphere mantle. Persistent upwelling of mantle decreased the strength of lower crust and led to the warm heat-flow regime and generation of a lower crustal fluid layer and wide rifting. Outward flow of ductile lower crust following late Cretaceous extension thinned the lower crust and generated the overall sag appearance of the basin in early Cenozoic time. The model supports a model whereby a wide rift narrows with time. For the Bohai Bay Basin, extension and strike-slip faulting were two independent deformation systems superimposed on each other.     

Sedimentology and isotopic composition of Upper Palaeocene to Eocene non-marine stromatolites, eastern Ebro Basin, NE Spain

Stromatolites are abundant in Upper Palaeocene to Eocene fluvial deposits from the Eastern Ebro Basin, whereas they are scarce in the lacustrine facies. The fluvial stromatolites display a variety of growth forms: oncoids, domes, laminated crusts and locally irregular bioherms. These morphologies are related to the hydrological behaviour of the fluvial systems. Elongate domes, dome heads and ovoid to subspherical oncoids accreted in flowing water. Laminated crusts and small-sized cylindrical to lenticular oncoids formed during low-discharge and ponding phases. In the lacustrine environments only small-sized ovoid oncoids occur. The main characteristics of the Ebro Basin non-marine stromatolites are: (1) laminations and concentric banding exhibited by all morphologies; (2) the occurrence of well-preserved cyanobacterial filaments in several laminae, suggesting that these microbiotas are the major contributors in growth; (3) the asymmetrical growth of cortices in domes and oncoids with polar thickening on the upper side suggesting in situ growth under low energy conditions. δ¹³C values of carbonate stromatolites range from - 11.3%o (Late Palaeocene) to — 4.4%o (Middle-Late Eocene). During the Late Palaeocene, under tectonically quiescent conditions, the δ¹³C values mainly reflect the influence of soil-derived CO₂. During the Eocene, the progressive uplift of the surrounding catchment areas led to an increase of exposures of Mesozoic rocks. Consequently, the δ¹³C values of the Eocene stromatolites reflect the influence of the CO₂ derived from the dissolution of Mesozoic marine carbonates. There is a 2.5%o shift in δ¹⁸O values of stromatolites from the Late Palaeocene to Middle-Late Eocene which is consistent with the variation in δ¹⁸O of precipitation due to changes in altitude of the catchment area during this time. The isotopic values of all Middle-Upper Eocene laminated crust samples show distinct covariant trends, suggesting that these stromatolites were formed either in ponding zones of fluvial channels or in disconnected pools developed during low-discharge episodes.     

The Vigny limestones: a record of Palaeocene (Danian) tectonic-sedimentary events in the Paris Basin

Danian marine sedimentation in the Paris Basin occurred between two major erosional phases. The earlier was responsible for the stripping of presumably deposited Maastrichtian sediments and of a variable thickness of Campanian chalk. The later occurred during the late Palaeocene and resulted in the erosion of almost all Danian deposits, which are now limited to small and scattered outcrops. One of these outcrops corresponds to reefal and peri‐reefal limestones of middle to late Danian age, exposed in the quarries of Vigny (NW of Paris). Danian deposits here show intricate relations with the surrounding Campanian chalk. Danian sedimentation was contemporaneous with faulting, which generated signifiant sea‐floor relief and resulted in contrasting depositional areas: topographic highs with coralgal reefs, and depressions where calcirudite channel fill accumulated. Normal faulting occurred along WNW–ESE master faults. The generation of submarine fault scarps gave rise to various types of gravity‐driven phenomena, including the sliding and slumping of large blocks of reefal limestone and the deposition of carbonate debris flows. Along with the redeposition of the Danian carbonates, flows of fluidized and reworked Campanian chalk resulted from the peculiar physical properties of the undercompacted chalks. Erosion and faulting occurred predominantly during the Palaeocene and represent a major episode in the physiographic evolution of the Paris Basin.     

Depositional history of a muddy sabkha complex in the Sokoto Basin of Nigeria,West Africa

Sedimentological and stratigraphical analysis of the Sokoto Basin has resulted in recognition of four lithostratigraphic units. They are Unit A—siltstone and fine-grained sandstone; Unit B—shale and marl; Unit C—limestone and calcareous shale; and Unit D—red sandstone. Unit A represents a wadi plain system composed of desert-alluvial beds; Unit B, a mud-rich sabkha system; and Unit C, an inner-shelf carbonate system. A marine transgression from the northwest began in the Maastrichtian and reached its peak in the Palaeocene. After regression in the late Palaeocene, the area was subjected to erosion, followed by fluvial sedimentation of Unit D. Wadi plain beds and mud-rich sabkha facies of Sokoto Basin are similar to alluvial and coastal mud-flat deposits in the northwestern Gulf of California and ephemeral stream and tidal-flat sediments in Gladstone Embayment, Australia.

The Thrace Basin: stratigraphic and tectonic-palaeogeographic evolution of the Palaeogene formations of northwest Turkey

The Palaeogene deposits of the Thrace Basin have evolved over a basement composed of the Rhodope and Sakarya continents, juxtaposed in northwest Turkey. Continental and marine sedimentation began in the early Eocene in the southwest part, in the early-middle Eocene in the central part, and in the late Lutetian in the north-northeast part of the basin. Early Eocene deposition in the southern half of the present Thrace Basin began unconformably over a relict basin consisting of uppermost Cretaceous–Palaeocene pelagic sediments. The initial early-middle Eocene deposition began during the last stage of early Palaeogene transtension and was controlled by the eastern extension (the Central Thrace Strike–Slip Fault Zone) of the Balkan-Thrace dextral fault to the north. Following the northward migration of this faulting, the Thrace Palaeogene Basin evolved towards the north during the late Lutetian. From the late Lutetian to the early Oligocene, transpression caused the formation of finger-shaped, eastward-connected highs and sub-basins. The NW–SE-trending right-lateral strike–slip Strandja Fault Zone began to develop and the Strandja Highland formed as a positive flower structure that controlled the deposition of the middle-upper Eocene alluvial fans in the northern parts of the Thrace Palaeogene Basin. Also, in the southern half of the basin, the upper Eocene–lower Oligocene turbiditic series with debris flows and olistostrome horizons were deposited in sub-basins adjacent to the highs, while shelf deposits were deposited in the northern half and southeast margin of the basin. At least since the early Eocene, a NE-trending magmatic belt formed a barrier along the southeast margin of the basin. From the late Oligocene onwards, the Thrace Palaeogene Basin evolved as an intermontane basin in a compressional tectonic setting.

准噶尔盆地车排子凸起西翼侏罗系骨架砂体连通性研究

骨架砂体作为油气输导体系的重要组成要素,控制着油气在空间上侧向的运移以及分布,其有效连通常受到砂体内部断层发育以及砂体微观非均质性的影响.通过对准噶尔盆地车排子凸起西翼地区主要井位进行单井分析,在明确区域地层格架与沉积相的基础上,划分侏罗系头屯河组及八道湾组各段的骨架砂体;并在此基础上绘制骨架砂体连井剖面图以及平面分布等值线图,对研究区骨架砂体的宏观连通性进行研究;再进一步通过对各层位的砂体系统取样,进行孔渗性分析,定性描述其微观连通情况;运用地质统计学方法,对骨架砂体微观连通性进行定量评价.结果表明,从剖面、平面、微观3个方面针对侏罗系头屯河组和八道湾组骨架砂体进行综合评价,研究区骨架砂体连通性相对较好的组段为侏罗系头屯河组三段及八道湾组三段.     

四川盆地白垩纪沙漠石英沙颗粒表面特征

石英具有较大的硬度和较高的化学稳定性，因而其颗粒表面特征能很好地反映沉积环境。而通过扫描电镜研究石英颗粒表面微细特征是分析沉积环境行之有效的方法。虽然多数人认为四川盆地白垩纪地层存在沙漠沉积(打儿凼组和夹关组)，但仍有人对沙漠沉积的存在持怀疑态度，并认为是河流成三角洲沉积。过去关于其沉积环境的判别主要是根据沉积结构和构造，并未对其石英沙颗粒表面特征进行过系统分析。笔者对采自四川盆地白垩系不同层位地层的样品进行了石英沙颗粒表面特征系统分析。结果表明，石英沙颗粒表面特征分析可以成功地将石英沙区分为风成和水成沉积。因此，本文从石英沙颗粒表面特征方面进一步肯定了四川盆地白垩纪古沙漠的存在。     

右江盆地构造和演化及对卡林型金矿床的控制作用

右江盆地,又称南盘江盆地,是我国重要的多金属矿床富集地,广泛发育有Au-As-Sb-Hg低温热液矿床,也是我国 卡林型金矿大规模富集区之一。矿床地质特征表明,金矿床的形成明显受到构造的控制,因此,探讨盆地的构造演化对于 深入研究卡林型金矿的形成具有重要意义。通过结合前人大量研究认为：右江盆地内主要发育有NW和NE向两组构造, NW及NE向的边界断裂对盆地的演化及火成岩的发育起到重要作用;金矿床在平面上均分布于右江盆地范围内,具有明显 的岩性和构造控矿的特征;右江盆地形成及后续的构造演化可以分为六个阶段,即：早泥盆世中期滨浅海陆棚发育 （D2 1 ）,中泥盆世-中二叠世裂陷洋盆发育（D2-P2）,中二叠世末-中三叠世洋盆消失及前陆盆地发育（P3 2 -T2）,晚三叠世 -早侏罗世盆地消亡及碰撞后伸展（T3-J1）,中侏罗世-早白垩世中期NE向挤压构造发育（J2- K2 1 ） 和早白垩世晚期-古 近纪局部伸展作用（K3 1 -E）;右江盆地内卡林型金矿的成矿期集中在前陆盆地发育结束而褶皱成山后,成矿过程与伸展环 境密切相关。     

湖泊三角洲平原砂体的露头构形分析

本文应用等级界面与构形单元分析的方法，详细研究了鄂尔多斯盆地东北缘神木县考考乌素沟地区侏罗系延安组湖泊三角洲平原砂体的几何形态、空间配置和内部构形，并重点剖析了三角洲平原上的分流河道（含天然堤）和决口扇砂体，识别出５级界面体系，划分出１７种储层岩性相和４种构形单元。各级界面分别代表不同规模的非均质性，界面性质及伴生的渗透性隔挡层（泥质夹层）的分布控制了砂体的垂向和侧向连通性。储层岩性相是一种物质－能量单元，它们在砂体内的分布有一定规律。构形单元则是一种三维岩石单元，由第３至５级界面限定，具有各自特征的储层岩性相组合。界面和储层岩性相都是沉积水动力条件的综合反映，它们的不同组合反映了砂体内部非均质性的细微变化，并控制砂体的物性特征。物性在砂体内的分布按构形单元自然分区，高孔渗带主要分布在３至５级界面之上，多个构形单元和界面在垂向或侧向。的叠置，导致物性出现多阶正韵律的变化。代表水动力条件较强的储层岩性相，其物性较好，反之则差。

Cenozoic development of northern Svalbard based on thermochronological data

Northern Svalbard represents a basement high surrounded by the Norwegian‐Greenland Sea/Fram Strait, Eurasian Basin, the Barents Shelf and the onshore Central Tertiary Basin (CTB). Published apatite fission track (AFT) data indicate Mesozoic differential, fault‐controlled uplift and exhumation of the region. Thermal history modelling of published and new AFT and (U–Th–Sm)/He ages of 51–153 Ma in the context of regional stratigraphy and geomorphology implies at least two, possibly three, uplift and exhumation stages since late Mesozoic, separated by episodes of subsidence and sediment deposition. Late Cretaceous/Palaeocene exhumation and subsequent burial appear to be related with the transition of compressional to transpressional collision of Svalbard and Greenland during the Eurekan Orogeny. Renewed exhumation since the Oligocene probably results from passive margin formation after the separation of Svalbard and Greenland, when a new offshore sedimentary basin opened west of Svalbard. Final uplift since the Miocene eventually re‐exposed the palaeosurface of northern Svalbard.     

A Preliminary Study on Exhalative Mineralization in Permian Basins, the Southern Segment of the Da Hinggan Mountains, China – Case Studies of the Huanggang and Dajing Deposits–

Abstract: The southern segment of the Da Hinggan Mountains is a well‐known tin–polymetallic metallogenic belt of North China with Jurassic‐Cretaceous volcanic–plutonic rocks widespread. Principally because of this, most of the deposits are regarded as epigenetic hydrothermal deposits in genetic connection with the Mesozoic magmatism. But nearly 90 % of the deposits occur in Permian strata, and show concordant stratiform mineralization with a spatial distribution constrained by sedimentary facies of the Permian strata. A close association between mineralization and Permian strata is recognizable. The Huanggang Fe‐Sn deposit was regarded as a standard skarn‐type deposit formed by magmatic hydrothermal solutions in connection with Mesozoic granites. But there are abundant fabrics indicating submarine hydrothermal exhalation both in magnetite ores and in skarns, including bedding/lamination, soft–deformation, synsedimentary brecciation, and collo‐form fabrics. The magnetite orebodies and skarn‐bodies are predominantly concordant stratiform, and extend nearly 20 km along certain stratigraphic horizon, that is, the upper section of the Lower‐Permian submarine volcanic rocks. The Mesozoic granitic rocks crosscut the magnetite and skarn zone. Instead of skarnization, they show strong greisenization associated with cassiterite‐quartz veins, distinct from the magnetite skarn‐ore with disseminated tin in the Permian rocks. The Dajing Sn‐polymetallic deposit is generally regarded as subvolcanic‐hydrothermal origin, principally because of the close spatial association between ores and some of the Mesozoic subvolcanic dikes (called rhyolitic porphyry). Detailed geological, fabric, petrographical and mineralogical study demonstrates that this very kind of subvolcanic rocks is actually a new type of exhalites (called ‘siderite‐sericite chert’ according to its mineral assemblage), formed by hydrothermal sedimentation during the evolution of the Later‐Permian lacustrine basin. There are, however, indeed some rhyolitic porphyry dikes that crosscut orebod–ies. The orebodies and their associated exhalite predate, and thus have no genetic relation, to the Mesozoic magmatic process. We thus conclude that subaqueous exhalative mineralization did occur during the basin evolution at the Permian time in the southern segment of the Da Hinggan Mountains, which is ignored and poorly understood, but might be as important as the hydrothermal mineralization connected with the Mesozoic magmatism.     

活化断层对加拿大阿萨巴斯卡盆地不整合型铀矿的控制

先存断层的活化对许多热液矿床的形成起到至关重要的作用。加拿大阿萨巴斯卡盆地的不整合型铀矿是一个受活化断层控制矿床的典型例子。该铀矿产于基底与盆地砂岩之间的不整合面附近,并与根植于基底的断层密切相关。这些控矿基底断层切穿并错动了盆地的不整合面。一系列证据表明这些基底断层以韧性的方式形成于盆地之前,但在盆地形成之后又发生脆性活化,而正是这种断层活化作用控制铀矿的产出。先存断层作为完整岩石中的薄弱位置,在后期构造运动中,其活化比产生新断层更容易发生。数值模拟表明在后期挤压构造运动中,有先存基底断层的不整合面被显著错动,而无先存断层的不整合面并没有错动。基底断层的脆性活化,不仅在活化过程中为流体提供了驱动力,而且由于活化导致岩石渗透率的提高,为后期的流体流动提供了通道以及容矿场所,形成阿萨巴斯卡盆地的不整合型铀矿。
