Siliceous-volcanogenic complexes of western Sikhote Alin: Their stratigraphy and origin

New age and structural data are reported for the siliceous-volcanogenic complexes developed in the lower reaches of the Ussuri River. These complexes, which were previously treated as one stratigraphic unit, are subdivided into the Snarsky tectonostratigraphic complex (end of the Middle Jurassic-Middle Aptian) and the basaltic sequence (supposedly, Campanian-Maastrichtian). The Snarsky Complex is made up of basic volcanics, cherts, siliceous-clayey rocks, as well as subordinate limestones, sandstones, and conglomerates. Its distinctive features are the large amounts of genetically diverse basalts, the abundance of volcanomictic and pyroclastic material in siliceous-clayey rocks, the absence of fragmental rocks typical of the continental convergent zone, and the facies heterogeneity of the deposits. The complex is considered to be the southwestern continuation of the Kiselevka-Manoma terrane. Its origin is presumably related to the tectonic piling of genetically heterogeneous assemblages. The basaltic sequence includes basalts, basaltic andesites, their tuffs, and tuff conglomerates. The tuff conglomerates contain numerous fragments of granites and garnet-bearing felsic volcanics. The sequence was formed on the crystalline paleocontinental basement in the Late Cretaceous.     

New concepts on the composition, structure, and age of the Lower Amur fragment of the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous accretionary prism, Russian Far East

On the basis of geological observations and the study of conodont and radiolarian microfauna, a new stratigraphic scheme was proposed for the Mesozoic deposits of the Komsomolsk district of the Amur region. The lower Khorpy Group (T₂-J₃) consists of two units: the Boktor (T₂-J₂) and Kholvasi (J_2–3). The Boktor Sequence (400 m thick) is represented by pelagic cherts with an admixture of cherty-clayey shales and volcanic rocks. The Kholvasi Sequence (500 m thick) is built up of the predominant siltstones and clayey shales with rare intercalations and lenses of clayey cherts and cherty-clayey shales. The upper Komsomolskaya Group (K₁) has a terrigenous composition and includes the Gorin, Pionerskaya, and Pivan formations of 5 km total thickness. It is made up of intercalated sandstones, siltstones, mudstones, and often turbidites (proximal to distal). The rocks contain abundant buchia fauna of Volgian-Valanginian age, as well as carbonized plant detritus and flora of the Early Cretaceous habit. The described complex is characterized by a nappe-fold structure typical of the accretionary prisms in the ocean-continent convergence zones. The predominance of the coherent type of accretionary prisms reflects the simple morphology of the oceanic plate.

Formation particularities of hypergene ferromanganese nodules: Far East Russia and Vietnam

Ferromanganese nodules (pisolites) form accumulations in basal layers of Pliocene-Quaternary clayey sections of Far East Russia and Vietnam. They are composed of minerals that are in common for both these regions (authigenic vernadite, feroxyhyte, goethite, halloysite, and terrigenous quartz) and minerals that are characteristic of either the northern (authigenic hollandite, lithiophorite, and bernessite) or southern (authigenic alumophorite, lepidocrocite, ferrihydrite, gibbsite, and terrigenous ilmenite) regions. Pisolites are considered to be microbial colonies with Mn and Fe oxides frequently forming biomorphs. The growth of the colonies was accompanied by dying off and mineralization of microorganisms successively from the central toward the peripheral parts of the nodules. The formation of metalliferous pisolites was linked to the oxidizing geochemical barrier developed at the interface between compact sedimentary clays and the underlying porous readily permeable weathered products of basalts.     

俄罗斯远东地区晚中生代花岗岩类的时空分布及其地质意义

在俄罗斯远东地区晚中生代花岗岩类年龄和相关地球化学数据的基础上,初步建立了该区晚中生代花岗岩类的年代学格架：大致以145Ma为界,分为侏罗纪(178~151Ma)和早白垩世(142~122Ma)2期。侏罗纪的花岗岩类主要为花岗岩－花岗闪长岩－石英二长岩组合,总体上为准铝质—强过铝质高钾钙碱性系列;早白垩世的花岗岩类主要为花岗岩－石英闪长岩－石英二长岩组合,主要为过铝质钙碱性—高钾钙碱性系列—钾玄岩系列。2期花岗岩稀土元素配分曲线均呈右倾型,重稀土元素曲线较平坦,都富集大离子亲石元素(如U、K)和轻稀土元素。与中国东北地区晚中生代花岗岩类对比,中国东北地区总体以兴安岭为中心,中间为早白垩世的花岗岩类,两侧为侏罗纪花岗岩类对称分布。境内外的侏罗纪花岗岩类构造背景不同,其分布与鄂霍次克洋和太平洋板块的俯冲有关,早白垩世花岗岩类可能形成于鄂霍次克带挤压造山后的伸展垮塌和太平洋板块的俯冲弧后伸展阶段。

Heavy clastic minerals from the Far East island-arc complexes

The results of the study of heavy clastic minerals from the Cretaceous-Paleogene terrigenous complexes of Sikhote-Alin and Kamchatka, as well as from the Cenozoic sediments of the deepwater Vanuatu Trench, are summarized. The data obtained have been interpreted on the basis of their comparison with heavy mineral assemblages of recent sediments deposited in known geodynamic settings. It is shown that the heavy clastic minerals of sedimentary rocks, their relative quantities, and chemical compositions may serve as reliable indicators of different island-arc settings and magmatic processes; these indicators may also be used for identification of such settings in paleobasins of orogenic regions.     

Paleogeography of the Bureya Foredeep (in the Far East) in the Jurassic

Using the standard methods of paleogeographic analysis, small-scale paleogeographic sketch maps of the Verkhnyaya Bureya and Gudzhik depressions of the Bureya Foredeep are compiled for the Pliensbachian, Bajocian-Bathonian, Callovian, and Tithonian ages of the Jurassic. Marine sedimentation settings that existed during the Late Triassic and the major part of the Jurassic are characterized.     

俄罗斯远东岗仁地体金铜矿床地质、地球化学特征及其LA-ICP-MS 锆石U-Pb 年龄

岗仁地体位于额尔古纳超地体北部边缘,蒙古—鄂霍茨克构造带南部,该区分布着大量的大型、超大型金矿床,这些矿床在成因上与中酸性侵入岩和浅成次火山岩关系密切。岩石地球化学研究表明,花岗闪长岩-闪长岩组合明显富集大离子亲石元素、不相容元素和轻稀土元素,亏损高场强元素和重稀土元素。球粒陨石标准化稀土配分模式为轻稀土元素富集、重稀土元素亏损的右倾型,具有微弱的负Eu异常或基本无Eu异常,无Ce异常,元素地球化学性质反映出花岗闪长岩-闪长岩组岩浆具有壳幔混合的特征,且形成于大陆边缘的火山弧环境。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年结果揭示,皮奥涅尔金银矿床含矿闪长玢岩的206Pb/238U年龄加权平均值为113.8±2.0Ma,博尔古利坎铜金钼矿床赋矿二长闪长斑岩的206Pb/238U年龄加权平均值为112.7±2.8Ma,与皮奥涅尔金银矿床和博尔古利坎铜金钼矿床成矿有关的奥列佳花岗闪长岩体的年龄分别为117.2±1.3Ma和117.0±3.6Ma。由此可知,皮奥涅尔金银矿床和博尔古利坎铜金钼矿床形成于燕山早期,与中国黑龙江地区三道湾子金矿、东安金矿等金矿床形成时代一致。

Noble metal mineralization in carbonaceous rocks: A synthesis of data on the Russian Far East

The relationship between noble metal mineralization and carbonaceous rocks (black shales and brown coals) is considered. We have confirmed the previous conclusions of multistage syn- and epimetamorphic formation of gold-bearing deposits in black shales and syn- and epigenetic accumulation of noble metals in brown coals. The gold and PGE in the brown coals of the Verkhnii Amur region and Primorye were presumably derived by disintegration of adjacent ore sources in the Cenozoic. Addition studies and sampling are required at the coal and graphite objects of the Russian Far East to solve this problem.     

Jurassic radiolarians and age of cherty rocks in the Povorotnyi Cape,the Taigonos Peninsula (northeast Russia)

Radiolaria-based dating of chert intercalations in basaltic sequences of ophiolitic associations, which are widespread in the west of circum-Pacific foldbelt being barren of macrofossils, is an important source of information about tectonic events and factors responsible for opening and destruction of basins floored by oceanic crust and for emplacement of relevant tectonic sheets into accretionary prisms and orogenic structures. Described in the work are the Middle (Bajocian-Callovian), Middle-Late (Callovian-Oxfordian) and Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian-Tithonian) radiolarian assemblages. According to taxonomic composition and morphology of radiolarian tests, the first assemblage is of the North Tethyan type, while the other two are of the Boreal affinity.     

Palynological evidence for dating Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary sediments in the Bureya basin, Russian Far East

Palynological complexes from the coaliferous Talyndzhan and Dublikan formations of the Bureya sedimentary basin are analyzed. The palynological assemblage from the upper part of the Talyndzhan Formation is characterized by dominant gymnosperms largely close to Pinaceae and Ginkgocycadophytus. The content of ferns is insignificant against the background of their relatively high taxonomic diversity. The assemblage is marked by the last occurrence of Staplinisporites pocockii, Camptotriletes cerebriformis, C. nitida, and Cingulatisporites sanguinolentus spores typical of the Late Jurassic palynofloras. The palynological assemblage from the Dublikan Formation is dominated by Pteridophyts representing mainly by Cyathidites and Duplexisporites. In addition to the conifer, the role of Classopollis increased among the gymnosperms in this assemblage. It also includes the first-appearing Stereisporites bujargiensis, Neoraistrickia rotundiformis, Contignisporites dorsostriatus, Duplexisporites pseudotuberculatus, D. rotundatus, Appendicisporites tricostatus, and Concavissimisporites asper. These sporomorphs are characteristic of the Berriasian palynofloras. Thus, the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary is most likely located between the Talyndzhan and Dublikan formations.     

Fahlores of the Prasolovka Au-Ag volcanogenic deposit, Kunashir Island, Russian Far East

The chemical study shows that fahlores from the Prasolovka deposit are complex compounds with significant variations in their composition and the proportions of their constituent elements. Based on their major-element composition, they are subdivided into 3 species and 11 inter-and intra-species varieties. The chemical composition of the fahlores in different mineral assemblages from different ore types indicates that As fahlores subsequently replaced by Sb, Te-Sb, and Te fahlores during ore precipitation. The revealed evolution of the ore solutions from the early to late stages testifies that different ores at the Prasolovka deposit were formed under different physicochemical conditions.     

Diverse tectonic settings of formation of the metaigneous rocks in the Jurassic metamorphic accretionary complexes (Refahiye,NE Turkey) and their geodynamic implications

Two isolated metamorphic accretionary complexes of Jurassic age, the Refahiye and Kurtlutepe metamorphic rocks, crop out as tectonic slices within the coeval suprasubduction-zone ophiolite at the southern margin of the Eastern Pontides (NE Turkey), close to the ?zmir-Ankara-Erzincan suture. The Refahiye metamorphic rocks are made up of greenschist, marble, serpentinite, phyllite and minor garnet amphibolite, garnet micaschist and metachert. The whole unit was metamorphosed under garnet-amphibolite-facies conditions and strongly retrogressed during exhumation. The Kurtlutepe metamorphic rocks consist of subgreenschist-facies metavolcanics, metavolcaniclastics, marble, calc-phyllite, and minor serpentinite and metachert. Metabasites in the Refahiye metamorphic rocks are represented by four distinct geochemical affinities: (i) cumulate “flavor,” (ii) alkaline oceanic island basalt (OIB), (iii) enriched mid-ocean ridge basalt (E-MORB) and (iv) tholeiitic island arc basalt (IAB). On the other hand, the Kurtlutepe metavolcanic rocks display only tholeiitic to calc-alkaline island arc geochemical affinities. The metabasic rocks with OIB affinities were interpreted as parts of the accreted oceanic islands, and those with E-MORB affinities as parts of accreted ridge segments close to oceanic islands and/or plume-distal mid-ocean ridges with a mantle previously metasomatized by plume components. The metabasic rocks with IAB affinities might have been derived from the overlying suprasubduction ophiolite and/or arc domain by a number of tectonic or sedimentary processes including tectonic slicing of accretionary complex and overlying fore-arc ophiolite, juxtaposition of the magmatic arc with subduction zone by strike slip faults, submarine gravity sliding and debris flows or subduction erosion. However, totally recrystallized nature of the metabasic rocks together with field relations does not allow any inference on the processes involved. The Kurtlutepe metavolcanic rocks might represent collided and accreted oceanic island arc with the subduction zone. Attempted subduction of an intraoceanic island arc may also explain the magmatic lull during Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous in the Eastern Pontides.     

俄罗斯远东北萨哈林盆地油气分布及成藏主控因素

基于对俄罗斯远东鄂霍茨克海域内的北萨哈林盆地石油地质条件的分析和已发现油气田的解剖,总结了盆地油气分布特征,结合构造演化分析,对影响油气成藏及分布的主控因素进行了探讨。研究表明：北萨哈林盆地油气分布具有陆上储量规模小、海域陆架规模大的特点,在纵向上可以划分为两大成藏组合,但油气主要富集于达吉组和努托夫组。这两个主要含油气层已发现油气藏在平面分布上具有明显的分带性,靠陆内带以达吉组油气藏分布为主,远陆外带以努托夫组油气藏分布为主。油气富集受多旋回构造演化、富油气凹陷及构造活动差异性等控制,海域陆架裂后坳陷内的低幅度隆起构造区为高丰度大中型油气田聚集的主要有利区。     

Siliceous-clayey rocks of the Jurassic accretionary prism, Khekhtsir Range, Sikhote Alin: Stratigraphy and genesis

Lithologic-stratigraphic aspects of siliceous-clayey rocks forming the Khabarovsk terrane of the Jurassic accretionary prism were studied in western spurs of the Bol’shoi Khekhtsir Range on the left side of the Ussuri River (Ussuri-Khekhtsir section). Two defined types of the examined section differ in the composition, age, and origin of their constituting rocks. The northern segment of the section is composed of middle Bajocian red-brown siliceous-tuffaceous silty and olive-gray silty mudstones that accumulated in the hemipelagic domain under the influence of continental provenance. Its southern segment is represented by lower Bathonian olive-gray siliceous mudstones, mudstones barren of any admixtures, and yellowish brown tuffaceous mudstones deposited far away from the continent in waters with abundant radiolarians. It is shown that these rocks are elements of two tectono-stratigraphic complexes that reflect different stages in the accretionary prism formation.     

Geochemistry of the mineral waters and gases of the Mukhen deposit,Far East

This work reports new hydrochemical data on the two types of cold high p CO₂ groundwaters from the Mukhen deposit (Khabarovsk district). The first type is classed with HCO₃-Ca-Mg waters with a relatively low TDS (up to 1.7 g/l) and high concentrations of Fe²⁺, Mn²⁺, Ba²⁺, and SiO₂. The second type is of HCO₃-Na composition with high TDS (up to 14 g/l) and elevated Li⁺, B, Sr²⁺, Br^?, and I^?. New oxygen (δ¹⁸O) and hydrogen (δD) isotopic data on the waters and carbon (δ¹³C) isotopic data on the gas phase, together with a detailed geological and hydrogeological analysis of the study area, allowed us to decipher the origin of both the mineral waters. Based on the tritium content (³H) in the ground and surface waters of the area, the duration of the mineral water circulation was estimated. It was established that the both types of groundwaters were formed during interaction of meteoric water with bedrock under active influence of CO₂, however HCO₃-Na groundwaters have longer residence time than HCO₃-Ca-Mg groundwaters.     

黑龙江嘉荫与俄罗斯远东Kundur地区黑龙江杂岩锆石U-Pb年代学、Hf同位素组成及其地质意义

本文报道了黑龙江嘉荫和俄罗斯远东Kundur(昆杜尔)地区黑龙江杂岩锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素分析结果,并结合前人研究成果,探讨了黑龙江杂岩的物质组成、形成时代、构造就位时间及物源。黑龙江嘉荫地区黑龙江杂岩中两个石榴石白云母石英片岩(13HYC28-1和13HYC29-1)原岩为流纹岩,其锆石U-Pb年龄分别为185±1Ma和183±1Ma,应代表黑龙江杂岩中存在的中酸性火山岩原岩的形成时代;俄罗斯远东Kundur(昆杜尔)地区石榴石二云母片岩(14RF4-1)和白云母石英片岩(14RF5-1)碎屑锆石年龄频谱主要存在两个年龄区间:183～286Ma和420～525Ma,另外还有少量前寒武纪年龄。这些碎屑锆石年龄组合与佳木斯地块和松嫩-张广才岭地块东缘发育的岩浆事件相对应,揭示其沉积物源应来自于这些火成岩。黑龙江杂岩碎屑锆石年龄数据中早侏罗世的最小峰期年龄(188Ma)代表了黑龙江杂岩原岩成岩时代的下限,结合区内177～165Ma的单矿物变质变形年龄,可以判定黑龙江杂岩的构造就位时间为早侏罗世晚期-中侏罗世。黑龙江杂岩的形成与就位过程揭示了东北亚陆缘早中生代的构造演化历史:中-晚三叠世(240～230Ma),牡丹江洋沿嘉荫-牡丹江断裂裂开并逐渐扩张,早侏罗世期间,古太平洋板块开始向欧亚大陆之下俯冲,受其影响,牡丹江洋俯冲并闭合于早侏罗世晚期-中侏罗世,最终导致佳木斯地块与松嫩-张广才岭地块碰撞拼合以及黑龙江杂岩的构造就位。
