四川观音梁子锰矿床地质特征及找矿意义

观音梁子锰矿赋存于寒武系邱家河组中,是龙门山中段在邱家河组中新发现的工业锰矿床。通过矿区勘探工作及室内观察、测试等手段,对矿区成矿地质背景、含锰岩系、矿体及矿石矿物特征、矿床成因、找矿前景等方面进行了初步总结分析。研究发现,观音梁子锰矿为典型的沉积型锰矿床,矿体呈层状产于邱家河组三段硅质白云岩中,延伸较稳定,严格受层位的控制;矿石类型为菱锰矿型,主要由菱锰矿、硫锰矿、水锰矿等组成。早寒武世,龙门山地区由于地壳拉张裂陷形成深海盆地,在还原环境下,锰元素与碳酸根直接结合形成碳酸锰矿物,稳定的物源、深海还原环境为锰矿富集提供了有利的成矿环境。观音梁子锰矿的发现,证实了龙门山北段邱家河组含锰层位的存在,为龙门山中段的锰矿找矿提供了契机,同时显示了寒武系邱家河组具有良好的找锰远景。

贵州天柱大河边铅锌矿床的发现及其意义

大河边重晶石矿床是一个世界级的超大型重晶石矿床。最近在该区重晶石矿床下部的震旦系陡山沱组碳酸盐岩(白云岩)和碎屑岩中,新发现一套规模较大、层位产出稳定的铅锌矿化。铅锌矿体和重晶石矿床具有"上部为重晶矿,下部为铅锌硫化物矿床"的矿化特征。铅锌矿段矿石矿物主要为闪锌矿、黄铁矿及方铅矿,含少量白铁矿、黄铜矿及磁黄铁矿;脉石矿物主要为石英和重晶石,少量白云石、热液磷灰石、炭沥青及钡冰长石。成矿流体特征类似于形成沉积喷流型铅锌矿床的流体特征。铅锌矿化中的硫源自局限海盆内早寒武世海水经硫酸盐还原作用提供。此种类似于喷流沉积型铅锌矿床在南华裂谷盆地一带矿化层位稳定、分布范围较广泛,体现早寒武世时在裂谷盆地内存在一次大规模的热液事件。天柱大河边铅锌矿床的发现具有重要的资源意义及区内该种矿床的勘查意义。     

辽西燕辽生物群分布特征及新发现

我国辽宁省西部地区一直是中生代古生物化石的重要产地,近几年发现了大量的珍稀动植物化石,产生了重要的影响,但有一些化石的层位尚不明确。近三年来,笔者在辽宁西部葫芦岛建昌以及朝阳辖区下的朝阳县、凌源市以及建平县针对一套中侏罗世火山岩所夹的沉积岩地层进行了详细的化石调查工作。首先,根据髫髻山组地层出露条件,在金岭寺—羊山盆地的建昌县玲珑塔大西山村测制了髫髻山组主干剖面,除此之外还在大平房—梅勒营子盆地和凌源—三十家子盆地测制了辅助剖面,同时在剖面上逐层进行化石采集;之后研究本次工作采集的化石以及收集该地区燕辽生物群化石资料;最后将化石落到准确的层位之上,并将各盆地化石层进行对比。通过剖面的测制以及化石的挖掘和调查,确定其为中侏罗世髫髻山组,属燕辽生物群中期,确定了一批珍稀化石的产出层位,为了方便不同盆地化石层对比,本文命名了两个新的珍稀化石层位——大西山化石层和棺材山化石层,将化石与层位一一对应,并且完成了对辽西主要盆地化石层的对比;与之同时挖掘出了一批珍贵的动植物化石,丰富了燕辽生物群古生物的内容,为今后的研究提供了翔实的资料。     

Evolution of Yizhou aulacogen in Guangxi during Late Paleozoic and distribution of manganese deposits in Early Carboniferous

The palaeogeographic configuration of the shallow water carbonate platform and deep water siliceous basin formed in the Yunnan-Guizhou-Guangxi region during the Late Paleozoic,which developed on the rifting of fold basement and differential subsidence during the Caledonian period. Yizhou-Liuzhou in Guangxi is an important sedimentary boundary in the southern Upper Yangtze carbonate platform. It is also the stratigraphic boundary of Late Paleozoic between middle and northern Guangxi,and it is the tectonic boundary between the southern Xuefengshan and central Guangxi depression during Paleozoic and Mesozoic. In this paper,the evolution of sedimentary basin located at Yishan-Liuzhou region during the Late Paleozoic is reconstructed through the regional stratigraphic correlation and genetic analysis.The elongate Yizhou rifting belt develops from the Nandan-Hechi fault from the west,and extends along Longtou,Beiya,Yizhou,and to Liuzhou. The rifting started at the eastern and western ends of the narrow rifting belt during the Middle Devonian and it developed into the rifting basin during the Early Carboniferous. Due to massive terrestrial siliciclastic filling derived from the Jiangnan Uplift to north,the rifting basin presented the asymmetrical feature and it was eventually filled up at late Early Carboniferous. Many magnesium deposits of Early Carboniferous are found in the rifting basin of Yizhou. The distribution of ore-bearing strata,the depositional succession and sedimentary environment are obviously related with the evolution of rifting basin. They are the evidences of basin evolution,implying the characteristics of rifting aulacogen in central Guangxi,which should be paid more attention in the manganese ore genesis study.     

广西钦州那必锰矿地质特征及成因认识

研究认为,那必锰矿为次生淋滤及堆积型矿床,其产出特点为：矿体主要产于紫色含锰硅质岩段（D3l^3）中,并受破碎带及层间裂隙控制,似层状产出,沿倾斜方向,延伸一般不会超过35m.其富集规律为：铁、锰矿沉积关系密切,菱锰矿与褐铁矿共生,但在表生淋滤环境下两者往往分离,锰质淋移至深部,而铁质则富集于上部.因此,含锰褐铁矿矿体常产于锰矿体的上部,可成为锰矿找矿的一种地表直接标志.     

河北宽城地区中元古代高于庄组碳酸盐岩碳氧同位素特征

对河北宽城地区中元古代高于庄组碳酸盐岩的碳氧同位素进行了测定和原始性验证,表明其原始组分保存良好。δ13C、δ18O值分布范围和平均值分别为-5.03‰～0.07‰、-9.92‰～-4.12‰和-0.90‰、-6.58‰,整体上稍低于前人测定的天津蓟县剖面和北京十三陵剖面数据。分析认为:研究区δ13C值主要受有机碳氧化与有机碳的埋藏速率因素影响,有机碳的埋藏速率与蓝绿藻等生物数量关系密切,藻类繁盛的时期一般都具有较高的δ13C值,藻类稀少的时期则具有较低的δ13C值。在浅水潮坪环境中,δ13C值与海平面的变化呈正相关关系;研究区δ18O值则主要受海平面变化影响,与之呈负相关关系;研究区古盐度Z值主要介于120～125之间,相关性分析表明Z值不仅反映氧同位素组成,也反映了碳同位素组成,δ18O和δ13C均与沉积介质的盐度有关,其变化趋势是盐度越大,其δ值越高。     

广西天等把荷锰矿地质特征及成因分析

通过对天等把荷锰矿地质构造、赋矿层位、矿体特征、矿石特征等论述,认为把荷锰矿属于沉积―氧化型矿床,除了正常海相沉积,矿区的地层、岩性、沉积―构造环境、气候和地貌等条件均对成矿有一定的影响,分析此类锰矿床的地质特征以及成因,对寻找类似锰矿床具有一定的指导意义。     

河北平泉中元古代高于庄组和杨庄组地球化学特征

根据河北平泉地区中元古代高于庄组和杨庄组中21件岩石样品分析结果,显示常量元素和微量元素的含量在纵向上的演变规律不明显,但各种元素含量在岩石地层界线均有明显变化,表明地球化学特征可作为划分沉积地层的标志或对已划分的地层界线进行优化.此外,据w(CaO)/w(MgO)值、w(Ca)/w(Ca Fe)值、w(Sr)/w(Ba)值及V、Pb、Co、Ni和Ti等元素特征分析,高于庄组与杨庄组的沉积环境有极大的差异.高于庄组为远岸深水海洋环境下的沉积,陆源碎屑供应匮乏;而杨庄组为干热气候下的近岸海洋环境沉积,具有较多的陆源碎屑物质供应.     

天津蓟县高于庄组微亮晶(MT)碳酸盐岩的沉积环境及成因探讨

微亮晶(MT)碳酸盐岩是发育在中、新元古代的特殊碳酸盐岩,全球分布广泛,MT构造由纯净、等粒的微亮晶方解石组成.天津蓟县中元古界高于庄组发育丰富的MT碳酸盐岩,并且在浊积岩中发现新的MT类型.详测高于庄组剖面,通过米级旋回类型划分、沉积环境、费希尔图解、扫描电镜、电子探针研究,并结合海平面变化、Sr和C同位素研究表明:原生MT构造主要发育在碳酸盐岩台地潮下型,深水非对称型米级旋回中上部的泥晶灰岩、细粉屑灰岩、钙质泥岩以及浊积岩球体的核心部位;MT碳酸盐岩主要发育在米级旋回海平面上升的高水位时期,~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr 值较低(小于0.709 67),δ~(13)C值为(0±1)‰的古海水环境中.     

天津蓟县中元古界高于庄组中臼齿状构造的层序地层位置及其成因的初步研究

天津蓟县剖面的中元古界高于庄组为一套厚度约为1 600m的碳酸盐岩地层，包括四个段：第一段以潮坪相叠层石白云岩为主；第二段主要为含锰白云岩；第三段发育较多的纹理化石灰岩和泥晶灰岩；第四段则以叠层石岩礁（叠层石生物丘和生物层）的发育为特点。根据岩相到岩相序列可在该套碳酸盐岩地层中识别出L-M型、潮下型、环潮坪型米级旋回层序。根据米级旋回层序的有序垂直叠加形式所反映出的沉积相序列可以把高于庄组划分为13个三级层序（SQ₁至SQ₁₃），并进一步归为4个二级层序。在以灰岩为主的高于庄组第三段中，其中的第三个三级层序（SQ₁₁）中部的灰岩层中发育臼齿状构造。这种臼齿状构造以特别的形态、富含有机质、易硅化等特点可能表明了前寒武纪碳酸盐岩沉积作用的一些基本特征：第一、在浅水环境中发育叠层石而在较深水环境（中缓坡）中发育臼齿状构造，臼齿状构造就象叠层石一样是一种极为特别的与生物沉积作用相关的沉积构造；第二、在发育叠层石的潮坪环境中有利于发生白云石化作用，发育臼齿状构造的地层则以灰岩为主，这从一个侧面反映了前寒武纪白云岩似乎又不是原生白云岩。实际上，这些特征本身即代表了一些前寒武纪沉积学问题，随着研究的深入对这些问题将会得出更加接近自然事实的答案。     

与火山活动有关的热水沉积锰矿——以贵州二叠纪锰矿为例

贵州产于中二叠统茅口组第二段的锰矿、铁锰矿、含锰菱铁矿,均分布在茅口晚期黔中台沟内。东部遵义一带为碳酸盐锰矿床,西部宣威—水城一带主要为锰帽型次生氧化锰矿床。笔者目的在于探讨黔中台沟锰矿成矿条件,以期扩大找矿远景。研究表明,区内各类锰矿石和矿胚层岩石都是在热水中生成的,证据是：①有大量热水沉积的标志性矿物;②常量、微量元素及稀土元素均具有热水沉积的特征;③流体包裹体均一温度达90～275℃等。锰矿的形成可能与峨眉地幔柱演化的中晚期阶段密切相关。茅口期玄武岩的喷出活动,有利于黔中台沟内硅灰泥锰质组合的形成。东部遵义一带的锰矿,被严格限制在热水喷发形成的硅质角砾岩分布区内,结合其他特征等,说明该区锰矿形成可能与强烈的热水活动有关。     

燕山地区中元古代高于庄组非叠层石碳酸盐岩序列的沉积特征及其重要意义

在燕山地区中元古代高于庄组一套厚度千余米的碳酸盐沉积序列中,第三段组成一个特别的非叠层石碳酸盐岩序列。两个剖面(天津蓟县剖面和北京延庆千沟剖面）的详尽观察与研究结果表明：高于庄组第三段的非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列以灰岩序列为特征,厚度为300 m至600 m不等,在蓟县剖面发育有存在成因争论的臼齿状构造,在延庆千沟剖面发育奇形怪状的席底构造。该非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列表明,在前寒武纪除了3次叠层石衰减事件(分别发生在2 000 Ma、1 000 Ma和675 Ma）外,在1 450 Ma左右还可能发生过一次叠层石衰减事件。再者,高于庄组第三段构成的非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列,可以大致与北美地区的Belt超群中的Helena组非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列相对比,从而表明了1 450 Ma左右的叠层石衰减事件因具有全球性而有重要意义。在漫长的前寒武纪,臼齿状构造常常集中发育在叠层石衰减事件之后,因此,尽管这两种沉积构造的成因还不完全清楚却成为了解前寒武纪世界的重要线索。1 450 Ma左右的叠层石衰减事件,正好处于叠层石发育的黄金时段(2 800 Ma至1 000 Ma）,对该次事件的识别,有助于正确认识漫长而复杂多变的前寒武纪碳酸盐世界。     

Sedimentary Features and Implications for the Precambrian Non-stromatolitic Carbonate Succession: A Case Study of the Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation at the Qiangou Section in Yanqing County of Beijing

In the long Precambrian period, stromatolitic carbonate successions were very common. However, the non-stromatolitic carbonate succession that is marked by subtidal deposits shows a sharp contrast to the stromatolitic carbonate succession. Both the non-stromatolitic and the stromatolitic carbonate successions are important clues for the further understanding of the evolving carbonate world of the Precambrian. The Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation at the Qiangou section in northwestern suburb of Beijing is a set of more than 1000 m-thick carbonate strata that can be divided into four members （or subformations）, in which a non-stromatolitic carbonate succession marked by the scarcity of stromatolites makes up the third member of the formation. This non-stromatolitic carbonate succession can further be subdivided into three third-order sequences that are marked by the regular succession of sedimentary facies. In third-order sequences, a lot of subtidal carbonate meter-scale cycles made up of medium-bedded leiolite limestones and thin-bedded marls constitute their transgressive system tracts （TSTs） and the early high-stand system tracts （EHSTs）, a lot of meter- scale cycles made up by thin-bedded limestones and marls constitute their condensed sections （CSs）, and thick-bedded to massive dolomitic limestones or lime dolomites make up the late high-stand system tracts （LHSTs）. The particularly non-stromatolitic carbonate succession making up the third member of the Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation at the Qiangou section might be the representative of the non-stromatolitic carbonate succession of the Precambrian because of its special lithological features and particular sedimentary structures, and its general sedimentary features are helpful and meaningful for the further understanding of the evolution rules of the sophisticate and evolving carbonate world of the Precambrian. The time scale of the Gaoyuzhuang Formation is deduced as that from 1600 Ma to 1400 Ma; thus, the non-stromatolitic     

内蒙古狼山-渣尔泰山中元古代被动陆缘裂陷槽裂解过程中的火山活动及其示踪意义

狼山-渣尔泰山中元古代被动陆缘裂陷槽内产有炭窑口、东升庙、霍各乞和甲生盘等海底喷流-沉积铅锌铜铁硫化物矿床.它在裂解过程中产生了明显的间歇性海底火山喷发.已分别在霍各乞、东升庙和炭窑口矿床容矿岩组中已找到岩性不同、并具有变余斑状或聚斑状或显微球粒结构、变余杏仁构造的海相火山岩与凝灰岩层,它们是确认该裂陷槽裂解过程的有效标志.依据（1）西部炭窑口矿区容矿岩组中发育钾质＂双峰式＂火山岩,其基性火山岩的K2O（4.23～5.93%）＞Na2O（2.15～3.14%）、Na2O＋K2O=6.51～8.08%、长石斑晶为钠长石（No.=2.8～7.2）,酸性火山岩的K2O（6.22～4.83%）＞Na2O（2.78～3.87%）、Na2O＋K2O=8.63～9.00%、长石斑晶为钠长石（No.=0.2～0.7）、长石微晶主要为钾长石;（2）东升庙矿区则发育钠质＂双峰式＂火山岩,其基性火山岩的Na2O（3.84～4.30%）＞K2O（2.49～3.80%）、Na2O＋K2O=6.44～7.92%、长石斑晶为更长石（No.=11～25）,酸性火山岩的Na2O（3.64～5.31%）＞K2O（1.19～2.75%）、Na2O＋K2O=6.28～7.68%,长石斑晶与基质均为钠长石（No.=0～1.1）;（3）霍各乞矿区发育基性火山岩,其Na2O（1.36～3.78%）＞K2O（0.30～2.16%）,Na2O＋K2O=2.03～4.09%;（4）炭窑口、东升庙与霍各乞矿床三矿区火山岩的稀土元素与微量元素蛛网图的标准化曲线有相似性和显著差别;（5）炭窑口、东各庙和霍各乞矿区基性火山岩的Sm-Nd模式年龄依次为1857～1877Ma和2006～2132Ma、1740～1867Ma、1486～1606Ma;（6）容矿岩组中有多层凝灰岩与火山碎屑及少量含火山碎屑的矿石,再结合该裂陷槽内各矿床的铅同位素模式年龄和甲生盘矿区只有少量凝灰质夹层,可以揭示该裂陷槽在中元古代的不均匀裂解过程,表现出从西部炭窑口→东升庙→东部的甲生盘一带先后裂解、狼山南侧早于北侧裂解以及从狼山→渣尔泰山同沉积期火山活动由明显→微弱的明显变化趋势.     

中元古代叠层石—非叠层石碳酸盐岩层序地层序列及其沉积特征——以北京延庆千沟剖面高于庄组为例

北京延庆千沟剖面中元古代高于庄组为一套发育在海侵砂岩上的叠层石—非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列,厚度千余米,包括4段:第一段(或称为官地亚组)主要为海侵砂岩地层;第二段(或称为桑树鞍亚组)为发育少量叠层石的含锰白云岩和灰质白云岩地层;第三段又称为张家峪垭组,为一套以均一石灰岩为主的地层序列,发育席底构造且贫乏叠层石;第四段(环秀寺亚组)以叠层石礁白云岩为特征。与蓟县剖面相比较,该剖面的高于庄组具有以下特点:(1)第一段厚度百余米的海侵砂岩地层不但表明了与下伏大红峪组之间存在较为明显的区域不整合面,而且与蓟县剖面厚数百米的叠层石白云岩地层形成明显的区别;(2)在第三段的非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列中,未发现臼齿状构造,但发育丰富而典型的席底构造,而且以均一石灰岩为特征;(3)第四段的厚度为500余m,由罕见的叠层石礁序列所组成。这些特征表明,千沟剖面的高于庄组组成了一个复杂而有序的叠层石—非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列,成为依据沉积相序列进行前寒武纪三级层序划分和二级层序合理归并的典型实例。更为重要的是,第四段中的叠层石生物礁和第三段的均一石灰岩序列的存在,反映了一些值得进一步研究的问题:如前寒武纪叠层石生物礁的沉积模式,非叠层石灰岩序列是否代表了一次叠层石衰减事件等等。     

Implications of the Precambrian Non-stromatolitic Carbonate Succession Making up the Third Member of Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation in Yanshan Area of North China

A particular non-stromatolitic carbonate succession making up the third member of the Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang (高于庄) Formation might demonstrate that a stromatolite decline of the Mesoproterozoic occurring at ca. 1 450 Ma besides other three events of the Proterozoic,respectively,occurred at ca. 2 000 Ma,ca. 1 000 Ma,and ca. 675 Ma. The forming duration of this non-stromatolitic carbonate succession can be generally correlative to that of a similar depositional succession in North America,i.e. a non-stromatolitic carbonate succession made up by the Helena Formation of the Belt Supergroup,which suggests that the stromatolite decline occurring at ca. 1 450 Ma may be a global event. This information endows the non-stromatolitic carbonate succession making up the third member of the Gaoyuzhuang Formation in the Yanshan (燕山) area with important significance for the further understanding of Precambrian sedimentology. The Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation in Yanshan area is a set of more than 1 000 m thick carbonate strata that can be divided into four members (or subformations). The first member (or the Guandi (官地) subformation) is marked by a set of stromatolitic dolomites overlying a set of transgressive sandstones; the second member (or the Sangshu'an (桑树鞍) subformation) is a set of manganese dolomites with a few stromatolites; the third member (or the Zhangjiayu (张家峪) subformation) is chiefly made up of leiolite and laminite limestones and is characterized by the development of molar-tooth structures in leiolite limestone; the fourth member (or the Huanxiusi (环秀寺) subformation) is composed of a set of dolomites of stromatolitic reefs or lithoherms. Sequence-stratigraphic divisions at two sections,i.e. the Jixian (蓟县) Section in Tianjin (天津) and the Qiangou (千沟) Section of Yanqing (延庆) County in Beijing (北京),demonstrate that a particularly non-stromatolitic succession making up the third member of the Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation is developed in the Yanshan area of North China,in which lots of grotesque matground structures (wrinkle structures and palimpsest ripples) are developed in beds of leiolite limestone at the Qiangou Section and lots of molar-tooth structures are developed in beds of leiolite limestone at the Jixian Section. The time scale of the Gaoyuzhuang Formation is deduced as 200 Ma (from 1 600 Ma to 1 400 Ma). The duration of an obvious hiatus between the Gaoyuzhuang Formation and the underlying Dahongyu (大红峪) Formation is deduced as 50 Ma to 100 Ma,thus the forming duration of the GaoyuzhuangFormation is thought as 100 Ma (1 500 Ma to 1 400 Ma). Furthermore,the age of the subface of the third member of the Gaoyuzhuang Formation that is just in the mid position of the Gaoyuzhuang Formation can be deduced as about 1 450 Ma,which is the basis to infer a stromatolite decline of the Mesoproterozoic occurring at ca. 1 450 Ma. Importantly,several features of both the molar-tooth structure and the stromatolite,such as the particular forming environment,the important facies-indicative meaning,and the episodic distribution in the earth history,might express the evolutionary periodicity of the surface environment of the earth and can provide meaningful clues for the understanding of the Precambrian world,although their origin and forming mechanism is highly contentious. Therefore,like other three stromatolitic declines,respectively,occurring at ca. 675 Ma,ca. 1 000 Ma,and ca. 2 000 Ma,the identification of the stromatolite decline occurring at ca. 1 450 Ma during the Golden Age of stromatolites (2 800 Ma to 1 000 Ma) has important meaning for the further understanding of the evolving carbonate world of the Precambrian.     

贵州水城-纳雍锰矿矿床地质特征及成矿作用初探

水城-纳雍锰矿集中分布在水城县中东部及与之相邻的纳雍县营盘等地,并与云南格学锰矿相邻。文章针对矿床的地质特征、成矿作用等进行探讨,认为该矿床成因类型属表生氧化的锰帽型矿床。     

北京延庆千沟中元古代高于庄组第三段:一个典型的前寒武纪非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列

在前寒武纪碳酸盐岩中,最为普遍的是叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列,而以潮下相沉积为主的非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列与前者形成了较大的差异;因此,与叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列一样,非叠层石序列成为了解前寒武纪复杂多变的碳酸盐世界的重要线索。燕山地区中元古代高于庄组为一套厚度千余米的碳酸盐沉积序列,包括四大部分:第一段（或称为官地亚组）为发育在海侵砂岩上的叠层石白云岩地层;第二段（或称为桑树鞍亚组）为发育少量叠层石的含锰白云岩地层;第三段又称为张家峪亚组,为一套以发育灰岩为主的非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列;第四段以叠层石岩礁和叠层石礁白云岩为特征。延庆千沟剖面的高于庄组第三段的非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列,贫乏叠层石是其基本特点,包含3个三级层序,在三级层序的海侵体系域和早期高水位体系域中,层面上发育席底构造的中层均一石灰岩（隐藻泥晶灰岩）和灰黑色薄层泥灰岩组成若干潮下型米级旋回,晚期高水位体系域则以厚层块状纹理石灰质白云岩和白云质灰岩为特征;三级层序的凝缩段单元则以薄层泥灰岩和泥页岩构成的L-M型米级旋回为特征。因此,每一个三级层序均以一个有序的沉积相序列为特征。高于庄组的分布时限大致为200 Ma（1 600～1 400 Ma）,考虑到下伏的大红峪组和高于庄组之间的地层间断时限大致为50 Ma至100 Ma,所以推断高于庄组的堆积作用时限为100 Ma（1 500～1 400 Ma）左右,其中高于庄组第一段与第二段的分界线正好处于该组的中部而可以推断该界线的大致为1 450 Ma左右;因此,高于庄组第三段非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列的发育表明,在1 450 Ma左右可能发生过一次可以与前寒武纪其他已经被识别出的三次叠层石衰减事件（2 000 Ma、1 000 Ma和675 Ma）相比拟的又一次叠层石衰减事件。延庆千沟剖面高于庄组第三段的非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列,可以大致与北美地区的起始时限为1 450 Ma左右、Belt超群中的Helena组非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列相对比,表明了1 450 Ma左右的叠层石衰减事件具有全球性,从而赋予高于庄组第三段非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列重要的沉积学意义。延庆千沟剖面高于庄组第三段非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列,特别的岩石类型和沉积构造,成为前寒武纪碳酸盐岩沉积中非叠层石碳酸盐岩沉积序列的典型代表,由其所代表的沉积学特点将有助于深入理解漫长的前寒武纪碳酸盐沉积作用的变化规律而具有重要意义。     

湘中桃江锰矿废矿堆环境地球化学分析

对湘中桃江锰矿废矿堆的废石进行了主量元素、稀土元素、微量元素和重金属元素的地球化学分析。野外观察及分析结果表明:组成废矿堆的岩石主要是赋矿围岩中奥陶统黑色页岩和原生碳酸锰矿石。这些废石富含Cu、Pb、Zn、Cr、Tl、Sb、U等重金属元素。废石暴露地表而遭受风化分解,导致Sc、V、Cr、U、Cd、Th等重金属元素淋滤释出,在废石样品中均表现出不同程度的迁移特征,且以V、Cd、U的迁移性最为强烈。此外,黑色页岩中Ni、Cu、Zn、Pb、Tl、Sb也明显发生淋失。这些重金属元素如Cd、Tl等毒性极强,进入矿区周围不断积聚,便可能对环境造成严重的影响。故对区内分布的废矿堆作为重金属污染源应高度重视。
