Relationships among volcanic and hydrothermal activity and faults from the Shunnan 3-D well zone in the Tadong Area (Tarim Basin,China)

Tarim Basin distributed widely two stages of Permian volcanic rocks. However, the location and timing of these rocks pinching out and the relationship between Ordovician carbonate hydrothermal reservoirs and fault activity remain unclear. The Shunnan (Shunnan here in after referred to as SN) 1 3-D well zone in the eastern Tarim Basin contains volcanic rocks, and the Ordovician layer contains a hydrothermal reservoir. This paper describes the lithology, stage, volcanic rock distribution, crater position and deposition pinch-out line of volcanic rocks based on drilling and 3-D seismic data. The Permian strata in the well zone contain only one stage of Kupkuciman Formation basalt and tuff, the Kaipeleicike Formation contains terrigenous clastic rock and the adjacent volcanic rocks of wells SN2 and GL (Gulong here in after referred to as GL) 2 exhibit an absence of deposition. Although the craters are distributed on both sides of the NNW faults that cross well SN4, their positions are also controlled by the intersection of earlier NEE and NW faults and later NNE faults. Furthermore, the Ordovician strata in the SN1 well zone developed abundant tubular high-amplitude anomalies and tabular high-amplitude anomalies via hydrothermal corrosion, and the anomaly distributions are similar to the positions of the craters, which are controlled by the intersection of multi-group faults and the density of the faults.

西藏班戈-切里错地区早白垩世火山岩的时代确定及意义

对班戈-切里错地区广泛分布的去申拉组中酸性火山岩详细研究认为,去申拉组中酸性火山岩角度不整合于沙木罗组(J₃-K₁s)之上,被竟柱山组(K_2-3j)角度不整合覆盖,同时获126Ma(Rb-Sr)同位素年龄值,证实去申拉组火山岩时代为早白垩世(K₁),为同造山期火山岩。去申拉组火山岩的时代确定,并将其从东巧蛇绿岩中分离出来,为蛇绿岩进一步研究提供了依据;为班公错-怒江结合带中段早白垩世造山事件的确定提供了依据。      

中祁连北缘奥陶纪岩浆弧地层

奥陶纪是祁连山加里东期构造带俯冲-碰撞格局奠定时期。通过区域填图和沉积环境分析及岩石地球化学研究,系统分析了沉积及岩浆作用过程, 认为在肃北县野牛台地区的晚奥陶世地层是中祁连地块西段北缘岩浆弧的组成部分。该地层为一套浅变质的基性-中性火山岩、碎屑岩及少量含化石灰岩组合,由下部海相安静深水还原环境向上部近岸水下河道-滨岸过渡,上部夹有冲积扇-河流相沉积,物源区为近源的岩浆弧和古老结晶基底,反映出自下向上水体变浅、盆地收缩的进积序列。其中的火山岩自下向上由基性向中性转变、由岛弧拉斑-钠质碱性玄武岩向钾质碱性玄武岩过渡,反映出与挤压构造环境相关的成熟岩浆弧火山岩组合特点。晚奥陶世岩浆弧地层、侵入岩与其北的同期构造蛇绿混杂岩带的相伴产出,暗示北祁连西段该时期洋壳在北部向北俯冲的同时,南部还向南俯冲并形成汇聚大陆边缘。     

Petrogenesis of Ordovician magmatic rocks in the southern Chiapas Massif Complex: relations with the early Palaeozoic magmatic belts of northwestern Gondwana

The recent discovery of Early Ordovician S-type granites in the southwest of the Chiapas Massif Complex adds a new perspective to the Palaeozoic history of the Maya block, inasmuch as no rocks of such age had previously been reported in this region. New geologic mapping west of Motozintla, Chiapas, revealed pelitic to psammitic metasedimentary successions (Jocote Unit) intruded by granitoids and metabasites. The Jocote Unit is unconformably underlain by the newly defined Candelaria Unit, which comprises deformed calc-silicate rocks and interlayered folded amphibolites. The Candelaria Unit is the oldest rock succession so far recognized in the southern Maya block. We used laser-ablation multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U–Pb dating to determine the ages of the rock, yielding Early Ordovician (ca. 470 Ma) and Late Ordovician (ca. 450 Ma) ages.

Major and trace element geochemistry, as well as Nd and Sr isotope data, suggest that folded amphibolites of the Candelaria Unit are mantle-derived and are probably related to rifting. The Early Ordovician bimodal magmatism of the Jocote Unit is more strongly differentiated; it reflects crustal contamination and volcanic-arc chemical signatures. A granitic stock (Motozintla pluton) intruded the area in the Late Ordovician. Its geochemical composition indicates less crustal contamination and a mixed signature between volcanic-arc and within-plate settings. Magmatic rocks analogous in age and chemical character crop out in the Rabinal and the Altos Cuchumatanes areas of Guatemala, suggesting the existence of a semi-continuous Ordovician magmatic belt from Chiapas to central Guatemala. Similar but somewhat younger granites also occur in the Maya Mountains of Belize, suggesting that magmatism migrated in the Silurian from the Chiapas–Guatemala belt towards the Maya Mountains.     

Zircon U–Pb dating of Early Palaeozoic monzonitic intrusives from the Goonumbla area,New South Wales

Zircon U–Pb ages measured on four small intrusions into the succession of Ordovician volcanic rocks that hosts Northparkes Cu–Au mine northwest of Parkes, New South Wales, place limits on the age of the volcanic sequence. The basal Nelungaloo Volcanics are constrained by a cross‐cutting monzodiorite to be ≥484.3 ± 2.9 Ma (Early Ordovician). Similarly, the overlying basal Goonumbla Volcanics are constrained by another cross‐cutting monzodiorite to be ≥450.8 ± 4.2 Ma (Middle Ordovician). A later generation of monzonites intruded into the middle and upper Goonumbla Volcanics yield ages of 439.1 ± 4.5 and 438.9 ± 4.7 Ma (Siluro‐Ordovician). These various ages are consistent with the ages of fossiliferous sediments within the volcanic sequence, and indicate that both the intrusive and volcanic rocks span an appreciable period of time—neither are the product of a single magmatic episode. Intrusion of the youngest monzonites and mineralisation was virtually contemporaneous.     

藏南康马地区石炭系及其下伏变质构造地层序列

西藏康马地区位于拉轨岗日构造带南缘中部。前人对该地区的康马穹窿及周围地层进行了大量研究,但长期以来对该区石炭系及以下变质构造地层的层序及时代认识不清,致使拉轨岗日构造带前石炭纪的地质演化史成为空白。根据1∶25万江孜县幅、亚东县幅区域地质调查工作取得的地层学资料及古生物、岩石组合特征,对康马附近石炭系及其以下地层进行了重新厘定。厘定后的地层单元分别为前奥陶系郎巴群（POl）、奥陶系则果群（Oz）、下石炭统雇孜组（C₁g）。下石炭统雇孜组（C₁g）与上覆早二叠世破林浦组（P₁p）之间为伸展不整合接触,与奥陶系则果群（Oz）之间为伸展拆离断层接触,前奥陶系郎巴组（POl）与奥陶系则果群（Oz）之间为伸展不整合接触,与下伏康马岩体为伸展拆离断层接触。     

The lower Devonian Kowmung volcaniclastics: A deep‐water succession of mass‐flow origin,northeastern Lachlan Fold Belt,N.S.W.

The Lower to ?Middle Devonian Kowmung Volcaniclastics form the upper part of a succession of Upper Siluran to mid‐Devonian flyschoid rocks in the Yerranderie area of N.S.W., and contain two major facies associations. (1) A mudstone facies association represents the ambient, background sedimentation, comprising predominantly buff mudstone that is host to an assemblage of coarser‐grained sediments, including graded‐bedded to massive siltstone, sandstone, conglomerate, allodapic limestone, and large allochthonous limestone blocks and associated limestone breccia. Bouma sequences are common, sole structures occur and maximum bed thickness is about 3 m. (2) A volcaniclastic facies association intrudes and interrupts the accumulation of the ambient mudstone facies association, and contains massive to partly graded, quartzofeldspathic siltstone, sandstone, breccia and conglomerate. Sedimentation units in the volcaniclastic facies association are up to 120 m thick. The two facies associations interfinger. Stratigraphically, the base of the Kowmung Volcaniclastics is taken as the first sedimentation unit of the volcaniclastic facies association. The mudstone facies association below this level is part of the Siluro‐Devonian Taralga Group.

Both facies associations were deposited in relatively deep‐water. The dominant transport process in both associations was mass‐flow, involving granular mass‐flows (turbidity currents, grain flows), debris flows and avalanches. Massive mudstone is hemipelagic in origin. The volcaniclastic facies association probably represents a submarine volcanic apron around the emergent, volcanic Bindook Complex. Grossly, the succession coarsens upwards, and there is evidence of several sources of sediment, rather than a single point at the head of a submarine fan.

Provenance is diverse. In the mudstone facies association, framework grains in sandstone are microlitic volcanic‐rock fragments with a mafic to intermediate volcanic source. Clasts in conglomerate and breccia are consistent with derivation from the regionally extensive, quartzose Ordovician flyschoid successions. Clasts of ?penecontemporaneous limestone also occur. The volcaniclastic facies association was probably derived largely from the nearby, coeval Bindook Complex, which consists of silicic ash‐flow and ash‐fall tuff, lava, associated sediment and granitoids. Detritus was either derived directly from volcanic eruptions or was worked in fringing littoral and fluvial environments prior to redeposition by mass‐flow. Quartzite boulders mixed with volcanic clasts in the conglomerate suggest that Ordovician quartzarenite was also exposed around the volcanic complex. Tentative provenance correlations have been made between the different rock units in the Kowmung Volcaniclastics and their possible sources in the northern part of the Bindook Complex.

北祁连山石灰沟地区发育一套完整的奥陶纪岛弧火山岩系。中奥陶世始岛弧形成,初期为拉斑玄武质岩浆喷发,尔后以钙碱性火山活动为主,至中奥陶世末岛弧演化成熟,产生橄榄玄武质火山作用。     

鄂尔多斯盆地加里东期不整合面类型及分布特征*

加里东期不整合面是早古生代华北板块内一个重要的盆地性质转换界面。鄂尔多斯盆地奥陶系风化壳岩溶型油气藏和二叠系本溪组、太原组铝土质泥岩气藏的发现,促进了地质学家对该地区古生代加里东运动性质的探讨。基于大量的野外露头、钻井和地震资料,对加里东运动形成的不整合面的识别标志、不整合类型及其空间分布、不整合结构和时间变量进行深入解析。研究表明: (1)加里东运动后,鄂尔多斯盆地的古地貌形态大致可分为鄂托克旗—定边一带的高地貌区、神木—靖边—富县以及吴忠地貌过渡区、中东部地势低缓东倾区; (2)奥陶系顶部不整合面相邻地层呈角度各异的接触关系,具有“削截(下)—整一(上)”、“削截(下)—超覆(上)”的结构,整体表现为盆地边缘为具削截和褶皱的高角度不整合、盆缘向盆内过渡地区的低角度不整合及盆内大范围分布的平行不整合; (3)不整合面也是上、下古生界之间形成的主要风化壳界面,长期的沉积间断和风化剥蚀为该区铝土质泥岩发育奠定了环境背景,而铝土岩不仅可作为下古生界风化壳气藏的理想盖层,同时也是陇东勘探新区天然气大规模聚集成藏的有利场所。     

藏北羌塘奥陶纪平行不整合面的厘定及其构造意义

西藏羌塘块体有无变质基底、其前新生代构造属性与演化过程是长期争论的议题。本文报道南羌塘块体北部,中、上奥陶统塔石山组底砾岩平行不整合于浅变质中厚层石英砂岩夹薄层泥灰岩之上。近600粒碎屑锆石测年结果表明浅变质石英砂岩的最大沉积年龄为527±7Ma,300余粒碎屑锆石测年结果表明塔石山组底部石英砂岩的最大沉积年龄为471±6Ma。不整合面上、下石英砂岩最大沉积年龄之差达56Myr,表明这两套石英砂岩之间存在明显的沉积间断,证实了该平行不整合面的时代为奥陶纪早期。另一独立的证据是在邻区发现了早奥陶世花岗岩类岩石(471~477Ma)侵位于该浅变质石英岩,因此将不整合面之下的浅变质石英岩暂命名为荣玛组,归入寒武系地层。阴极发光与年代学研究进一步表明不整合面之上的碎屑锆石主要来源于在"泛非"运动晚期形成的结晶岩,为近源锆石,表明"泛非运动"晚期所形成的结晶岩在奥陶纪早期就已隆升,遭受剥蚀,为区内中上奥陶统沉积岩的形成提供物质来源。该奥陶纪平行不整合面的发现,表明南羌塘块体与喜马拉雅、拉萨等块体相似,同属冈瓦纳大陆体系。南、北羌塘早古生代地层系统之间的显著差异表明在寒武-奥陶纪之交,南、北羌塘块体就已被古大洋盆分隔开,开始各自独立演化。     

甘蒙北山地区奥陶纪火山岩地球化学特征及形成环境探讨

对甘蒙（甘肃-内蒙古）北山地区花牛山、洗肠井、伊哈托里及希热哈达出露的奥陶纪火山岩进行了地球化学研究。结果表明:该区火山岩类型主要为安山玄武岩,以拉斑系列为主。花牛山和洗肠井火山岩的稀土元素配分具有弱的轻稀土亏损-平坦、重稀土略富集的特征,高场强元素比值特征与蛇绿岩（N-MORB）一致,形成环境为洋中脊;伊哈托里和希热哈达火山岩具轻稀土富集,高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti等亏损的特征,类似于岛弧火山岩,但其Th_N/Nb_N(>>1.00)、Nb/La(<1.00)、Zr/Nb值类似于N-MORB,暗示火山岩遭受了地壳物质的混染作用。伊哈托里和希热哈达火山岩样品w(Zr)>70.00×10^-6和Zr/Y>3.00,显示了板内玄武岩的特征。结合区域构造演化分析,认为花牛山和洗肠井火山岩形成于洋中脊环境,而伊哈托里和希热哈达火山岩应属伸展裂解环境的产物。     

鄂尔多斯盆地加里东期不整合面类型及分布特征*

加里东期不整合面是早古生代华北板块内一个重要的盆地性质转换界面。鄂尔多斯盆地奥陶系风化壳岩溶型油气藏和二叠系本溪组、太原组铝土质泥岩气藏的发现,促进了地质学家对该地区古生代加里东运动性质的探讨。基于大量的野外露头、钻井和地震资料,对加里东运动形成的不整合面的识别标志、不整合类型及其空间分布、不整合结构和时间变量进行深入解析。研究表明: (1)加里东运动后,鄂尔多斯盆地的古地貌形态大致可分为鄂托克旗—定边一带的高地貌区、神木—靖边—富县以及吴忠地貌过渡区、中东部地势低缓东倾区; (2)奥陶系顶部不整合面相邻地层呈角度各异的接触关系,具有“削截(下)—整一(上)”、“削截(下)—超覆(上)”的结构,整体表现为盆地边缘为具削截和褶皱的高角度不整合、盆缘向盆内过渡地区的低角度不整合及盆内大范围分布的平行不整合; (3)不整合面也是上、下古生界之间形成的主要风化壳界面,长期的沉积间断和风化剥蚀为该区铝土质泥岩发育奠定了环境背景,而铝土岩不仅可作为下古生界风化壳气藏的理想盖层,同时也是陇东勘探新区天然气大规模聚集成藏的有利场所。     

长庆气田奥陶系风化壳气藏、气源研究

对10年来长庆气田奥陶系风化充气藏气源问题存在的不同观点（上古生界煤成气和奥陶系海相碳酸盐岩气何者为主）及相应的证据进行了总结和讨论,认为“奥陶系自生自储为主”的观点对地质和地球化学现象的解释存在疑问,包括用次要组分来判别混源天然气的主要来源,用不确切的端员气地球化学特征来计算混源比,对本溪组底部岩石的封盖性和下奥陶统碳酸盐岩的原始生烃潜力评价偏高,忽略了石炭系存在能够生成油型气的海相源岩。因此,长庆气田不能作为海相贫有机质的碳酸盐岩生成的大、中型油气田的实例。根据天然气及气源岩的地球化学特征,提出长庆气田奥陶系风化壳气藏气是以上古生界煤成气为主、石炭系海相源岩生成的油型气为辅的混合气。     

大兴安岭北部新林地区倭勒根群大网子组锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

大兴安岭位于中亚造山带的东段,自北向南划分为额尔古纳地块、兴安地块和松嫩地块。倭勒根群主体分布于额尔古纳地块,前人将其归属为新元古代-早寒武世。对新林地区倭勒根群大网子组的上部变火山岩段和下部变沉积岩段进行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年。测试结果显示：上部变火山岩的形成年龄为（430.7±4.1）Ma,属早志留世;下部变沉积岩中碎屑锆石的最小峰值年龄为（480.1±2.9） Ma,指示其沉积时间不早于早奥陶世。综合文献资料确定：新林地区倭勒根群浅变质岩系是一套时间跨距从寒武纪到早志留世的岩石地层组合,而非新元古代-早寒武世;新林蛇绿岩的构造侵位时间不早于早奥陶世;新林地区的大网子组、兴隆沟地区的早奥陶世沉积与多宝山-伊尔施早奥陶世火山弧构成了大兴安岭北部地区的早奥陶世弧-盆体系。     

Enigmatic sedimentary–volcanic successions in the central European Variscides: a Cambrian/Early Ordovician age for the Wojcieszów Limestone (Kaczawa Mountains,SW Poland) indicated by SHRIMP dating of volcanic zircons

Metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary successions in the central European Variscides are, in many areas, poorly biostratigraphically constrained, making palaeotectonic interpretations uncertain. In such instances, geochronological data are crucial. Sensitive high resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) dating of volcanic zircons from a quartz–white mica schist (interpreted as deformed metavolcaniclastic/epiclastic rock) within the stratigraphically controversial Wojcieszów Limestone of the Kaczawa Mountains (Sudetes, SW Poland), near to the eastern termination of the European Variscides, has yielded an age of 498 ± 5 Ma (2σ error), corresponding to late Cambrian to early Ordovician magmatism in that area and constraining the depositional age of the limestones. The new SHRIMP data are not consistent with the recent revision of the age of the Wojcieszów Limestone based on Foraminifera findings that ascribed them to a Late Ordovician—Silurian or even younger interval. They are though, consistent with sparse macrofossil data and strongly support earlier interpretations of the lower part of the Kaczawa Mountains succession as a Cambrian–Early Ordovician extensional basin‐fill with associated initial rift volcanic rocks, likely emplaced during the breakup of Gondwana.

内蒙古北山小狐狸山钼多金属矿区志留纪安山玢岩的发现及其地质意义

小狐狸山钼多金属矿床位于内蒙古北山地区的东北部,矿区内出露的地层主要为奥陶系咸水湖组火山岩。本次工作显示,小狐狸山矿床赋矿火山岩地层存在安山玢岩呈岩株状侵位于奥陶系咸水湖组安山岩中,测得该安山玢岩(XHLS-01)的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素年龄为(419±5) Ma,对应晚志留世,晚于奥陶纪安山岩的成岩年代(489±11) Ma,研究成果更正了对矿区仅发育奥陶纪火山岩的传统认识。小狐狸山矿区晚志留世安山玢岩w(SiO₂)为57.18%~58.19%,w(K₂O+Na₂O)为5.78%~6.97%,w(TiO₂)为0.57%~0.90%,为富钾贫钠、准铝质岩石,与奥陶纪低钾钙碱性的安山岩不同;微量元素显示安山岩和安山玢岩均呈大离子亲石元素富集、高场强元素亏损特征,安山玢岩稀土总量(∑REE含量)为71.9×10^-6~72.24×10^-6,低于安山岩96.89×10^-6,Eu呈较弱负异常。以上显示小狐狸山矿区晚志留世安山玢岩的母岩浆来自俯冲洋壳板片交代的亏损地幔源区,上升过程中经历了较弱的分离结晶和同化混染作用。小狐狸山志留纪安山玢岩和奥陶纪安山岩均形成于岛弧环境。综合区域地质、年代学和地球化学研究显示,内蒙古北山地区早古生代具有相似的构造演化过程,同属西伯利亚板块与塔里木板块之间的岛弧增生带。

不整合是廊固凹陷奥陶系潜山油气运移的重要输导通道和聚集部位,研究不整合分布及其输导特征对明确该区油气优势运移方向以及寻找有利勘探目标具有重要意义.以廊固凹陷奥陶系潜山顶面不整合的类型及分布规律、纵向结构特征为基础,对潜山顶面不整合的输导性和有效性进行了分析;利用钻井、测井、岩芯等资料对半风化岩石层进行了精细解剖,明确了主力输导通道分布和渗滤空间类型;在明确不同类型不整合展布规律后结合数值模拟确定了油气优势运移方向和潜在有利勘探区.研究结果表明,河西务潜山带奥陶系顶面不整合具有4种接触关系、2种运移通道,组合形成4种油气运聚类型,其中石炭系—二叠系覆盖的褶皱区最有利于油气聚集成藏.不整合半风化岩石层的渗滤通道类型南北具有差异性,南部岩溶发育,以溶蚀缝洞为主,北部以晚期构造缝为主.纵向上,垂直渗流带和水平潜流带是不整合岩溶带中的优势运移通道.平面上,不整合输导脊是油气的优势运移路径,位于其上的构造高点是油气聚集的有利区,杨税务南潜山和中岔口潜山是下一步油气勘探的潜在目标.     

Redefinition and Formation Age of the Tanjianshan Group in Xitieshan Region,Qinghai

The Tanjianshan Group, which was previously divided into a, b, c and d formations, has been controversial for a long time. It mainly distributes in the northern margin of Qaidam Basin and is an important early Paleozoic greenschist facies metamorphic volcanic sedimentary rock formation. Detailed field investigation and zircon LA-ICPMS U-Pb dating of the key strata suggest that the original lower part of a Formation(a-1) versus the original middle upper of d Formation(d-3 and d-4), the original upper part of a Formation(a-2) and b Formation versus the original lower part of d Formation(d-1 and d-2) of Tanjianshan Group are contemporaneous heterotopic facies volcanicclasolite deposit, respectively. The former formations formed during the middle-late Ordovician(463–458 Ma), while the latter ones formed in the late Ordovician(about 445 Ma). The original c formation of Tanjianshan Group, which formed after 430 Ma, is similar to the Maoniushan Formation of Kunlun Mountains and north Qaidam Basin. According to the rules of stratigraphic division and naming, new stratum formations of Tanjianshan Group are re-built and divided into Duancenggou(O1-2td), Zhongjiangou(O2-3tz) and Xitieshan(O3tx) formations. The original c Formation is separated from Tanjianshan Group and is renamed as the Wuminggou Formation(S3-D1w), which shows a discordant contact with underlying Tanjianshan Group and overlying Amunike Formation(D3a). The zircon U-Pb age frequency spectrogram of Tanjianshan Group indicates three prominent peaks of 430 Ma, 460 Ma and 908 Ma, which is consistent with the metamorphic and magmatic crystallization ages obtained from para- and orthogneisses in north Qaidam HP-UHP metamorphic belt, implying that strong Caledonian and Jinningian tectonic and magmatic events have ever happened in North Qaidam.     

甘肃山丹煤田二叠系火山碎屑岩的发现及其主要特征

本文论述了山丹煤田二叠系火山碎屑岩的地质特征:(1)火山碎屑岩赋存地层层位,(2)火山碎屑岩的岩石结构特征,(3)岩石的化学成分属性,(4)火山碎屑岩的粒度特征及其沉积性质。表明,火山碎屑岩由火山角砾岩及玻屑凝灰岩组成。凝灰质碎屑物为气携,以降落灰的方式沉积于陆相浅水环境中。该火山碎屑岩的发现表明,山丹地区二叠纪曾有过重要的火山活动,它为区域地质研究提供了有意义的新资料。
