作为符山石族矿物的新成员,红河石(Hongheite,IMA 2017-027新矿物),Ca18(,Ca)2Fe2+Al4(Fe3+,Mg,Al)8(,B)4BSi18O69(O,OH)9发现于个旧世界级Sn-多金属矿田东北缘、与马拉格Sn矿床毗邻的北沙冲花岗岩(77.43Ma)内矽卡岩中。红河石常呈横径达4~25mm的放射状针-柱状集合体产出。当位于晶洞中时,红河石则呈发育良好的自形柱状晶体(0.5~4.0mm长,0.3~1.0mm宽)产出。与红河石共生的矿物见有赛黄晶、萤石、斧石-(Fe)、硅硼钙石、枪晶石、硼锡钙石、石英和羟鱼眼石-(K)等。红河石为墨绿色,条痕浅灰绿色,玻璃光泽,性脆,断口不规则。主要的晶面是:{100}、{110}、{101}和{001}。红河石的显微硬度:988.3N/mm2,相当于摩氏硬度6~7。其实测密度与计算密度分别是3.446g/cm3和3.423g/cm3。红河石一轴正晶,No=1.720(2),Ne=1.725(2);多色性弱。红河石的化学成分:SiO235.85%;TiO20.01%;Al2O311.00%;Fe2O37.92%;FeO2.14%;CaO 33.57%;MnO 0.42%;MgO 3.48%;B2O32.82%;Cr2O30.01%;Na2O 0.01%;F 0.40%(F≡O-0.17);Cl 0.14%(Cl≡O-0.03);H2O 0.75%,总量98.32%。依据晶体结构精测和Si在单位分子式中的原子数(即Si=18 apfu),计算和书写的红河石简化晶体化学式:Ca18(,Ca)2Fe2+Al4(Fe3+,Mg,Al)8(,B)4BSi18O69(O,OH)9。其三条最强粉晶线[d(?)(I/I0)(hkl)]为:2.9289(47)(004),2.7661(100)(342)和2.6079(68)(243)。红河石属四方晶系,空间群为P4/nnc,晶胞参数:a=15.667(3)?,c=11.725(1)?,V=2878(1)?3,Z=2。红河石晶体结构精测的R因子为0.063。红河石殊异于为已知的符山石族矿物种,在于其X(4)位以空位()为主、Y(3)位以Fe3+居优和T(2)位被B所占。顺便对符山石族矿物晶体-化学式的计算与书写予以讨论并提出建议。     

聚合氯化铝铁中Al(Ⅲ)对Fe(Ⅲ)稳定性的保护作用

对以NaOH为碱化剂合成的聚合氯化铝铁(PAFC)及其合成前体聚合氯化铝(PAC)、聚合氯化铁(PFC)的低温干燥胶体进行了表征。红外光谱证实PAFC中存在Fe-O-HAl基团;X射线衍射结果证实了PAFC中有着与PAC、PFC不同形态的Al(Ⅲ)、Fe(Ⅲ)羟基配合物,这些Fe-Al羟合异核多核共聚物是长程无序的;扫描电镜能谱分析表明:短程有序的Al-OH-Fe羟合物在Fe(Ⅲ)、Al(Ⅲ)继续水解的过程中与它们一起随机排列,形成长程无序的Fe-Al羟合异核多核共聚物无定形胶体。Al(Ⅲ)对Fe(Ⅲ)的保护作用包括三个方面:Al(Ⅲ)对Fe(Ⅲ)的水解有催化作用,使Fe(Ⅲ)形成更多细微的结晶中心而不是相互聚集生成较大的结晶;大量Al(Ⅲ)的存在使Fe(Ⅲ)羟合物之间的碰撞受到制约,相当于降低了Fe(Ⅲ)的有效浓度,延缓了Fe(Ⅲ)的迅速水解;大量短程有序的Al-OH-Fe羟合物的存在破坏了Al13相及-βFeOOH相的生成环境,有效地保护了Fe(Ⅲ)胶团并使它们在水溶液中的稳定时间大大增加。

The Al (Nb,Ta) Ti(in−2) substitution in titanite: the emergence of a new species?

Summary The highest (Nb, Ta) content ever encountered in titanite is reported from the Maríkov 11 pegmatite in northern Moravia, Czech Republic. This dike is a member of a pegmatite swarm of the beryl-columbite subtype, metamorphosed under conditions of the amphibolite facies. The pegmatite carries, i.a., rare tantalian rutile intergrown with titanian ixiolite, titanian columbite-tantalite, fersmite and microlite. Fissures generated in the Nb, Ta oxide minerals during deformation are filled with titanite, formed by reaction of the oxide minerals with metamorphic pore fluids. The titanite displays limited degrees of substitutions Na(Ta > Nb)(CaTi)_–1, (Ta > Nb)₄Ti_–4Si_–1 and AI(OH, F)(TiO)_–1, but an extensive (and occasionally the sole significant) substitution (Al > Fe³⁺)(Ta > Nb)Ti_–2, responsible for widespread oscillatory zoning. This substitution reduces the proportion of the titanite componentsensu stricto, CaTiSiO₄,O, to less than 50 mole % in many analyzed spots. The extreme composition corresponds to (Ca_0.994Na_0.011)(Ti_0.436Sn_0.007Al_0.280Fe³⁺ _0.006Ta_0.199Nb_0.079)Si_0.988O₄(O_0.974F_0.026). However, so far this substitution fails to generate compositions that would define a new species.

Die höchsten (Nb, Ta) Gehalte, die jemals für Titanit gefunden wurden, werden für den Maríkov II Pegmatit in Nordmähren, Tschechei, berichtet. Der Intrusivgang ist Teil eines Amphibolit-faziell überprägten Pegmatitschwarms vom Beryll-Columbit Subtypus Der Pegmatit führt u.a. seltene tantalbetonte Rutile verwachsen mit titanbetontem Ixiolith, titanbetontem Columbit-Tantalit, Fersmit and Mikrolith. Deformationsbedingte Frakturen in den (Nb, Ta) Oxiden sind mit Titanit, als Folge der Reaktion der metamorphen Porenlösungen mit den Oxidmineralen, verkittet. Titanit zeigt begrenzte Substitutionen Na(Ta > Nb)(CaTi)_–1,(Ta > Nb)₄Ti_–4Si_–1 and Al(OH, F)(TiO)_–1, aber extensive (und gelegentlich einzig bedeutsame) Substitution (Al >> Fe³⁺)(Ta > Nb)Ti_–2, die eine weitverbreitete, oszillierende Zonierung hervorruft. Diese Substitution verringert den Anteil der Titanit-Komponentesensu stricto, CaTiSiO,O, auf weniger als 50 Mol% in vielen Analysen. Die Extremzusammensetzung entspricht Ca_0.994Na_0.11) (T_10.436Sn_0.007Al_0.280Fe³⁺ _0.006Ta_0.199Nb_0.079)Si_0.988O₄(O_0.974F_0.026). Das AusmaB dieser Substitution ist unzureichend, um eine neue Mineralspecies zu definieren.

Late Cretaceous (Santonian) Atractosteus (Actinopterygii,Lepisosteidae) remains from Hungary (Iharkút,Bakony Mountains)

Lepisosteid fishes are well known from the Upper Cretaceous of Europe, but only by fragmentary remains from some Cenomanian and Campanian–Maastrichtian deposits. Here we report various cranial and postcranial remains of gars, discovered in the Upper Cretaceous (Santonian) Csehbánya Formation of Iharkút (Bakony Mountains, Hungary). These remains represent one of the most diverse assemblages of lepisosteid fish material from Upper Cretaceous continental deposits of Europe. Based on tooth morphology, scale-microstructure and the features of the supracleithrum we refer these remains to the genus Atractosteus. Besides some uncertain remains from the Cenomanian of France and Spain, the Santonian aged fossils from Iharkút represent the oldest undisputable occurrence of the family Lepisosteidae in the European continental Cretaceous. Using tooth crown morphology, the surface microstructure of the ganoid scales and the anatomy of the supracleithrum a review of the Late Cretaceous lepisosteid record suggests the occurrence of both Atractosteus and Lepisosteus in the European archipelago.     

Hydrogen Isotopes of Glassy and Phyllosilicate Spherules in Al Rais (CR) and Orgueil (CI) Chondrites

The hydroxyl in phyllosilicate minerals is the most common occurrence of water in primitive meteorites. Direct hydrogen isotopic analysis of this water component using an ion microprobe has been made in some glassy or phyllosilicate spherules from the Al Rais (CR) and Orgueil (CI) chondrites. The spherules from Al Rais show large deuterium excesses (δD = +200 -+800‰) relative to terrestrial standards, whereas deuterium-enrichments in the spherules from Orgueil are much smaller (δD = +40 - +130‰). The phyllosilicate spherules are products of     

机械研磨高岭石的固体~(29)Si、~(27)Al核磁共振光谱研究

综合多种测试方法,考察了研磨对茂名高岭石粒径、形貌与微结构等理化性质的影响。重点采用~(29)Si、~(27)Al MAS NMR光谱考察了研磨过程中结构脱羟、Si、Al配位环境变化、新活性位点形成等微结构演变等。结果表明:研磨初期,高岭石六方片层遭到破碎,颗粒粒径逐渐减小,比表面积在研磨1 h达到最大(43.8 m~2/g);此后,颗粒发生团聚,比表面积减小,样品脱羟量和表面吸附水含量均逐渐增加。核磁Si谱和Al谱分别在化学位移-100.5和14.8处出现新的信号,归属于四面体Si与八面体Al相连顶氧质子化作用而产生的Q~3 Si-OH~+-Al结构。研磨导致高岭石脱羟,Al配位状态从AlⅥ经由AlⅤ逐渐向AlⅣ转变。     

Amino-acid composition of algal (“stromatolitic”) limestones (Gannat,Massif-Central,France)

The amino-acid compositions of limestones whose origin is thought to be related to the activity of Cyanophyceae have been studied to determine whether the characteristic components of these organisms would be present as geochemical fossils. A significant amount of amino acids is present and the content can be divided between a “free amino-acid fraction” and a “combined amino-acid fraction” containing different amounts of acidic and basic amino acids. There is evidence to suggest that the amino acids and amino sugars isolated are indeed contemporaneous with the formation of the sediments. The absence of diaminopimelic acid and the very small amount of muramic acid present shows that these two important components of algal and bacterial cell-membranes have apparently been extensively degraded.     

华夏龙谱(30)--燕子沟辽宁角龙(Liaoceratops yanzigouensis Xu,Makovicky,Wang,Norell,You,2002)

陨石中宇宙成因核素~(10)Be和~(26)Al的化学分离纯化

陨石离开其小行星母体直至降到地球表面期间,受到宇宙射线的照射,产生一系列包括10Be和26Al等的放射性核素。10Be和26Al的含量及其比值记录了宇宙射线辐照历史,而陨石降落到地球表面后,它们的衰变又提供了测定其降落时间,即居地年龄的方法。10Be和26Al由加速器质谱测定,样品需分离纯化。为此,开展了陨石样品Be和Al的分离纯化实验。通过模拟样品的条件实验,建立了Be和Al分离纯化的化学流程,其回收率分别达到89%和70%。在此基础上,分离并测定了一个降落型普通球粒陨石(吉林陨石)非磁性部分的10Be和26Al的含量。结果显示,吉林陨石26Al/10Be的比值为5.005,远大于两者的饱和比值(2.72),说明吉林陨石经历了短期的暴露辐射,这一结果与吉林陨石第二阶段的暴露年龄0.4Ma一致。整个化学流程的10Be/9Be和26Al/27Al空白分别为(4.33±0.46)×10-14和(6.59±4.66)×10-15,其中前者接近于该仪器的空白测量值,而后者则接近于仪器的检测限2.3×10-15。

富钴结壳的~(10)Be、~(26)Al定年方法初步研究

大洋富钴结壳的生长速率及其定年测量在研究古大洋环流、古环境及古气候变迁等方面具有重要意义,而宇宙成因核素~(10)Be、~(26)Al因为其测量时间尺度长、精度高,而被视为富钴结壳年代测定的最有效手段之一。本文在前人研究的基础上,对富钴结壳中~(10)Be、~(26)Al定年新方法进行了探究。对采自太平洋的2块富钴结壳样品进行连续的淋滤实验,并对其中1个样品CXD08-1自生相中的~(10)Be和~(26)Al进行分离、纯化及AMS(Accelerator Mass Spectrometry)测量分析。利用~(10)Be浓度和~(10)Be/~9Be值计算得到CXD08-1在5～10 mm间的平均生长速率分别为(10.23■) mm/Ma和(14.25■) mm/Ma。而~(26)Al因为大量衰变及~(27)Al载体的加入而未得到可靠的分析结果,因此,~(26)Al定年须进一步探索。     

Photoluminescence of zircon (ZrSiO4) doped with REE3+ (REE = Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er)

The photoluminescence properties of synthetic zircon, ZrSiO₄, doped with REE³⁺ (REE = Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er) were investigated using combined excitation and emission spectroscopy. All samples showed luminescence characteristics of intra-ion energy transitions, similar to other lanthanide-doped materials. However, the relative intensities were dependent on the energy of excitation and the presence of charge-transfer bands were inferred from excitation spectra. From the data, we conclude that the lanthanides in zircon occur in more than one type of coordination. Energy transfer between different lanthanides was observed in some co-doped samples and emissions that were unassigned in previous studies have been assigned to specific lanthanides based on excitation spectroscopy.

Are the seismological and geological observations of the Al Hoceima (Morocco, Rif) 2004 earthquake (M = 6.3) contradictory?

Seismic hazard is associated with recent and present fault activity in mountain ranges. In the Betic-Rif alpine mountain chain, tectonic activity started in the Cretaceous, and topographic uplift continues since Tortonian times as a consequence of the NW-SE oblique convergence between Africa and Eurasia. The deformation is active and produces seismicity that sometimes has catastrophic consequences. The Al Hoceima earthquake (February 24, 2004), considered one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded instrumentally in the westernmost Mediterranean (M = 6.3), caused great damage in the region. Seismological studies agree that the main shock was situated on land, at the limit between the External and Internal Zones of the Rif, at a depth of 10-14 km. The focal mechanism points to a strike-slip solution with a NW-SE oriented P axis, quite similar to those of the significant 1994 earthquake swarm located to the north. The epicenter aftershocks distribution would signal the presence of a N-S oriented sinistral fault, activated by the NW-SE regional compression associated to plate boundary convergence. In this setting, the seismogenic fault ruptures related to these seismic events are expected to have reached the Earth's surface. However, detailed field work carried out 1 month after the earthquake does not evidence any N-S strike-slip coseismic fault in the epicentral area. The main observed effects were landslides, damages to constructions, and locally open cracks indicating an unexpected NW-SE extension. Scarce N-S faults are normal, the main ones being located several kilometers away from the epicentral area. To explain this apparent contradiction between geological and seismological observations, we propose a decoupled tectonic model with crustal detachments that separate a deep brittle crust from an upper crust undergoing uplift, and the development of large folds and normal faults. This geological setting, common to internal zones of cordilleras, may need to be taken into account in future paleoseismicity studies and in the assessment of seismic hazard.
