塔里木盆地肖尔布拉克剖面下寒武统底部硅质岩微量元素和稀土元素地球化学及其沉积背景

对塔里木盆地北部肖尔布拉克寒武系露头剖面中 8.8m厚的黑色页岩夹硅质岩组合中的硅质岩的系统采样分析表明,该硅质岩具有深源成因特征。其低的Th/U和Rb/Sr比也证明了其沉积时所具有的深部物源和热水注入迹象。硅质岩的稀土元素经北美页岩标准化后的Ce/Ce 从 0.4 2到 0.79,平均 0.5 7。Ce的负异常明显。这些稀土元素的参数特征与加利福尼亚弗朗希斯科杂岩 (FranciscanComplex)中沉积在大洋海底硅质岩的稀土元素特征十分相似。北美页岩标准化后的Eu/Eu 值从 8.0 5下降到 1.0 3。其相对较高的Eu/Eu 值很有可能反映了热水的注入。Eu/Eu 值从剖面底部到顶部的系统降低反映了剖面底部的热水作用最强烈,向上热水作用逐渐减弱。上述一系列的地球化学标志指示该硅质岩应沉积在离洋中脊不远的、具有深源物质/热水注入的远洋盆地背景中。结合区域地质和伴生黑色页岩地球化学的综合分析认为,该套硅质岩的形成与上升洋流的影响有关。上升洋流将形成于大洋盆地背景中的物质带到大陆边缘陆棚环境中发生沉积,造成了沉积在陆棚环境中的硅质岩,在地球化学组成上保留了其大洋盆地背景的特征     

塔里木盆地寒武系—奥陶系白云岩稀土元素特征及其成因意义

塔里木盆地寒武系—奥陶系白云岩是重要的油气储集层,按能反映成因的结构构造特征将其分为4类,即泥晶—粉晶白云岩、藻纹层白云岩、斑状白云岩及重结晶白云岩。通过分析各类白云岩的稀土元素组成特征,并结合岩石学研究,探讨了各类白云岩成岩流体性质及其水岩比的相对大小。4类白云岩的ΣREE差别较大,但稀土元素配分模式均具LREE轻微富集、HREE亏损、Eu负异常且与海相泥晶灰岩相似的特征,其稀土元素配分模式主要受海水的影响。4类白云岩经受的成岩作用差别明显,但REE迁移行为类似,无明显分馏。泥晶—粉晶白云岩中ΣREE平均值为51.55×10-6,与泥晶灰岩相近,其ΣREE主要受控于原岩,受后期成岩作用的影响相对较小,其成岩过程的水岩比较小。藻纹层白云岩的ΣREE平均值为21.37×10-6,不及海相泥晶灰岩的1/2;岩石学及地球化学资料反映其成因与藻类密切相关,其低ΣREE可能是由ΣREE极低的藻类参与白云岩化所致,后期成岩改造作用对其影响并不明显。斑状白云岩的ΣREE平均值为28.89×10-6,远低于泥晶灰岩及泥晶—粉晶白云岩,反映其白云岩化过程的水岩比远高于泥晶—粉晶白云岩。重结晶白云岩的ΣREE平均值为13.64×10-6,不及泥晶灰岩的1/4,在4类白云岩中最低,岩石学特征表明此类白云岩经受了白云岩化及后期强烈重结晶2期主要成岩作用,而这2期成岩作用均需极高的水岩比,此类白云岩的稀土元素组成特征主要是这2期成岩作用叠加的结果,其低ΣREE值可能是大量ΣREE含量极低的成岩流体改造的结果。     

Characteristics of Rare Earth and Trace Element Patterns in Bedded Cherts from the Bottom of the Lower Cambrian in the Northern Tarim Basin, Northwest China and Their Genetic Significance

The sedimentary sequence of the Lower Cambrian is a key interval to reveal the early evolution history of the Earth and there occur widespread cherts worldwide. These cherts possibly carry important information to decipher the breakup process of the Rodinia Continent. Black rock series at the bottom of the Lower Cambrian in the Northern Tarim Basin, China, is composed of black shales interbedded with thin-bedded cherts. Ten chert samples were systematically collected from two outcrops at Xiaoerbulak and Sogatbulak, 8.8 and 7.5 m thick respectively. The cherts were crushed, and were analyzed for trace element and rare earth concentrations. Trace elements such as V, Cu, Zn, U, Pb, Ba, Cd, Ag, Mo,As and Sb are highly enriched, and others such as Rb, Zr, Cs, Hf, Ta, W, T1, Bi and Th are highly depleted in the cherts.These trace element patterns suggest that the cherts may be of deep crustal origin. The low ratios of Th/U and Rb/Sr further suggest that the cherts are of earth interior sources or received hydrothermal input during their deposition. Chondritenormalized Eu/Eu* value markedly decreases upward in the section from 5.54 at the lowermost to 0.73 at the top, and NASC-normalized Eu/Eu* value decreases from 8.05 to 1.03. The relatively high Eu/Eu* ratio for the cherts from the northern Tarim Basin is most likely due to a hydrothermal input (e.g., Eu/Eu*-10). The systematic decrease of Eu/Eu* ratio from the bottom to the top of the section reflects that the hydrothermal input is the largest in the lowermost portion of the section and gradually decreases upward. The chondrite-normalized Ce/Ce* ratio ranges from 0.42 to 0.83, with an average of 0.60. North American Shale Composite (NASC)-normalized Ce/Ce* ratio ranges from 0.42 to 0.79, with an average of 0.57. Negative Ce anomalies are distinct. EREEs in the cherts generally increase from 10.50 ppm at the bottom to 35.97 ppm at the top of the sampled section. NASC-normalized (La/Lu)N ratio decreases from 2.72 at the bottom to 0.67 at the top. NASC-normalized (La/Ce)N ratio increases from 1.36 at the bottom to 3.13 at the top. These REE patterns are very similar to those for the cherts deposited in the pelagic ocean-basin floor in the Franciscan Complex exposed at Marin Headlands, California (F-MH chert) (Murray et al., 1991). These geochemical signatures are inconsistent with our previous sedimentological data, which suggests a continental shelf setting. Based on multiple lines of evidence including high TOC content in the concomitant black shales, phosphorite at the bottom of black rock series, regional rise of sea level,and beginning of the southern Tianshan Ocean geotectonic cycle, the authors infer that the hydrothermal fluid was carried to the continental shelf by upwelling from a divergent pelagic ocean floor setting.     

Ordovician Basement Hydrocarbon Reservoirs in the Tarim Basin, China

Ordovician marine carbonate basement traps are widely developed in the paleo-highs and paleo-slopes in the Tarim Basin. Reservoirs are mainly altered pore-cavity-fissure reservoirs. Oil sources are marine carbonate rocks of the Lower Paleozoic. Thus, the paleo-highs and paleo-slopes have good reservoiring conditions and they are the main areas to explore giant and large-scale oil reservoirs. The main factors for their reservoiring are: (1) Effective combination of fenestral pore-cavity-fracture reservoirs, resulting from multi-stage, multi-cyclic karstification (paleo-hypergene and deep buried) and fracturing, with effective overlying seals, especially mudstone and gypsum mudstone in the Carboniferous Bachu Formation, is essential to hydrocarbon reservoiring and high and stable production; (2) Long-term inherited large rises and multi-stage fracture systems confine the development range of karst reservoirs and control hydrocarbon migration, accumulation and reservoiring; (3) Long-term multi-source hydroc     

塔里木盆地西部奥陶系内部不整合

塔里木盆地西部柯坪地区奥陶系内部存在两期主要不整合。其一,位于下奥陶统蓬莱坝组与鹰山组之间,为平行不整合。该不整合在柯坪县北水泥厂剖面上缺失牙形石Glyptoconus floweri带和Tripodus proteus—Paltodus deltifer带,有大至相当于5.5Ma的地层缺失量;在乌什县鹰山北坡剖面上缺失了牙形石Glyptoconus quadraplicatus带、Glyptoconus floweri带和Tripodus proteus/Paltodus deltifer带,有相当于约7.2Ma的地层缺失量。其二,存在于上奥陶统铁热克阿瓦提组与下伏地层之间,主要为平行不整合,局部为角度不整合。古生物研究表明其间的地层缺失量变化相当大,在柯坪大湾沟、大湾沟东以及羊吉坎剖面上,不整合之下地层为印干组,地层缺失量比较少,时间间隔为1~2Ma;在阿克苏四石厂剖面和柯坪铁热克阿瓦提剖面,其下伏地层为其浪组,缺失了印干组和其浪组的上部,其时间间隔相当于约5Ma;在伽师三间房剖面,下伏地层为吐木休克组或一间房组,缺失地层的时间间隔约为15Ma;西克尔地区地层缺失量最大,铁热克阿瓦提组直接覆于中奥陶统鹰山组之上,缺失地层的时间间隔超过了20Ma。     

塔里木盆地塔中台地上奥陶统良里塔格组核形石成因研究

塔里木盆地塔中台地上奥陶统良里塔格组礁滩相中核形石大量发育,本文选取5口钻井取心样品,从核形石形态、粒径大小、纹层磨损度、圆度几个方面进行镜下统计分析。镜下观察核形石有长条状、扁平状、偏心椭圆形、椭圆形、卵圆形、圆形等形状,平均粒径在0.1~2.5 cm之间,核心颗粒以生屑颗粒为主。核形石的纹层磨损度在泥粒岩中为轻度,在颗粒岩中为重度,泥粒—颗粒岩居中。研究认为,促使塔中台地上奥陶统核形石形成的因素包括水动力能量、微生物、碎屑颗粒的累积量等,其中水动力能量占主导地位。能量过低,核形石扁平;能量适合,核形石纹层均匀且厚;能量过强,核形石处于磨蚀状态。水流的强烈冲刷作用会破坏微生物对颗粒的黏附作用,使砂屑生屑核形石滩转变为砂屑生屑滩。

     

Burial Dissolution of Ordovician Granule Limestone in the Tahe Oilfield of the Tarim Basin, NW China, and Its Geological Significance

With a comprehensive study on the petrology, geology and geochemistry of some Ordovician granule limestone samples in the Tahe Oiifieid of the Tarim Basin, two stages of burial dissolution were put forward as an in-source dissolution and out-source dissolution based on macro-microcosmic petrology and geochemistry features. The main differences in the two stages are in the origin and moving pass of acid fluids. Geochemical evidence indicates that burial dissolution fluids might be ingredients of organic acids, CO2 and H2S associated with organic matter maturation and hydrocarbon decomposition, and the in-source fluid came from organic matter in the granule limestone itself, but the out-source was mainly from other argillaceous carbonate rocks far away. So, the forming of a burial dissolution reservoir resulted from both in-source and the out-source dissolutions. The granule limestone firstly formed unattached pinholes under in-source dissolution in situ, and afterwards suffered wider dissolution with out-source fluids moving along unconformities, seams, faults and associate fissures. The second stage was much more important, and the mineral composition in the stratum and heat convection of the fluid were also important in forming favorable reservoirs.     

四川稀土精矿的稀土元素和微量元素地球化学特征及开发利用意义

四川省是我国轻稀土的重要产地,开采近二十年来生产了大量稀土精矿,精矿的稀土品位及其他有用元素组成对矿山资源评价及企业生存至关重要。本文对A、B、C三个稀土矿区稀土精矿的稀土元素和微量元素组成特征进行了研究。结果表明:不同矿区、不同选矿方法、不同企业生产的精矿,其稀土元素和微量元素含量存在显著差异;A矿区浮选精矿的稀土含量最低(ΣREEs=41.57%),而C矿区精矿的稀土含量最高(ΣREEs=55.83%);A矿区磁选精矿的稀土含量(ΣREEs=49.96%)高于浮选精矿(ΣREEs=41.57%);B矿区甲公司(ΣREEs=48.35%)精矿产品的稀土含量高于乙公司精矿产品(ΣREEs=42.92%)。精矿的稀土元素配分特征继承了原矿石的同时普遍亏损Tb和Yb,推测是选矿过程导致了元素的亏损。精矿中除了富集稀土元素,Mo、Bi、Pb、Ga、Th、U、W等有用元素也发生了不同程度的富集,综合利用价值高,尤其是Mo(0.56%)和Ga(0.036%)的含量已达到现行边界品位。本文提出,今后在提高精矿稀土品位的同时,需对富集的元素采取恰当的方式加以综合回收。     

四川稀土矿尾砂的稀土元素和微量元素地球化学特征及开发利用意义

四川是我国轻稀土的重要产地,稀土开采至今已有二十多年的历史,积存了大量尾砂。尾砂中仍然有丰富的稀土资源,但这部分资源究竟有多大的量、能不能再次回收,如何回收,则是当务之急。为查明稀土尾砂中各类元素的分布特征,本文对A、B、C、D四个稀土矿山的尾砂开展了稀土元素和微量元素地球化学特征的初步研究。结果表明:尾砂中稀土元素配分特征继承了原矿石,稀土氧化物含量普遍偏高(0.78%~2.12%),均超过了现行工业指标的边界品位(0.5%~1.0%),且老尾砂的稀土含量高于新尾砂;除了富集稀土元素之外,B尾砂中Sr含量超过10%,C矿区尾砂中Sr含量为2.7%,A矿区尾砂中Ba含量可达1.8%。同时,不同矿区的尾砂中Mo、Bi、Pb、Ag等有用元素发生了不同程度地富集(值得综合回收利用),尤其是Mo达到了边界品位(磁选后的尾砂Mo含量达到2.275%)。本文提出,今后不仅要加强保护四川稀土尾砂,而且需对富集的有用元素采取恰当的方式加以综合回收。     

中国稀土元素地球化学背景与远景区优选

稀土元素是现代科技、新能源、特种制造的关键性材料, 以其不可替代性和稀缺性, 而备受关注, 很多国家将其列为关键资源或战略资源。地球化学是研究稀土分布和发现稀土矿床的有效方法。本文利用“化学地球”大科学计划获得的全国15个稀土元素地球化学基准数据以及“一带一路”的中蒙边境、中缅老越边境地区地球化学填图数据为基础, 阐述中国稀土地球化学背景和圈定远景区。获得全国岩石和汇水域沉积物15个稀土元素、轻稀土(ΣLREE)、重稀土(ΣHREE)和总稀土(ΣREE)背景值。全国岩石背景值分别为: ΣLREE 121 μg/g, ΣHREE 35.0 μg/g, ΣREE 157 μg/g, 轻重稀土比值为3.5。全国汇水域沉积物背景值分别为: ΣLREE 134.0 μg/g, ΣHREE 38.5 μg/g, 和ΣREE 173 μg/g, 轻重稀土比值为3.5。总体上汇水域沉积物与岩石一致, 但含量略高于岩石。全国共圈定稀土地球化学异常区35处, 其中有26处异常与已知稀土矿或稀土成矿带相吻合, 新发现稀土超富集中心的稀土异常9处, 分别位于内蒙白云鄂博以西的乌拉特中旗—乌拉特后旗、华南异常富集中心、松潘—甘孜—攀西地区、云南红河州—中越边境、三江南段—中缅边境、雅鲁藏布江东段、西藏札达地区、中塔边境、黔东正安—荔波地区。这些异常显示, 是具有寻找白云鄂博型、碱性岩型、离子吸附型、花岗伟晶岩型、磷块岩型和泥岩型稀土矿的有利地区。     

塔里木盆地下奥陶统白云岩类型及其成因*

下奥陶统白云岩是塔里木盆地最现实的重点勘探领域。文中在分析塔里木盆地早奥陶世构造、沉积及古气候等地质背景的基础上,以前人对白云岩的结构分类为基础,从白云岩发育产状出发,将塔里木盆地下奥陶统白云岩划分为灰岩中零散白云石、灰岩中斑状白云石、层状白云岩和沿断裂分布白云岩4类,白云石含量层位上自下而上具有总体减少的趋势。各类白云岩在岩石学特征和发育分布上具有较为明显的差异,局部可重叠出现。灰岩中零散白云石和斑状白云石的岩石学和地球化学及发育分布特征均反映其主要由浅埋藏白云石化作用形成;层状白云岩和沿断裂分布白云岩形成于中深埋藏白云石化作用;各类白云岩的产状特征差异受控于沉积期海平面变化、海水性质及埋藏条件等因素。沿断裂分布白云岩的形成和分布与断裂密切相关,是重要的储集岩石类型。白云岩储集层的形成主要是后期改造的结果,埋藏白云石化作用并未对大规模白云岩储集层的形成起到建设性作用,伴生或后期流体再运移导致的溶蚀作用为其主要成因。     

塔里木盆地塔中台地上奥陶统四分珊瑚及其古地理分布

本文系统描述了新疆塔里木盆地塔中台地上奥陶统床板珊瑚形珊瑚亚纲四分珊瑚目四分珊瑚科的化石,共4属3种和2个未定种,分别为：四分珊瑚属Tetradium小四分珊瑚（比较种）Tetradium cf. minus、纤状四分珊瑚（比较种）Tetradium cf. fibratum、杆四分珊瑚属Rhabdotetradium杆四分珊瑚（未定种）Rhabdotetradium sp.、似植珊瑚属Phytopsis细胞状似植珊瑚（比较种）Phytopsis cf. Cellulosum、古槽珊瑚属Palaeoalveolites古槽珊瑚（未定种）Palaeoalveolites sp.。其中,似植珊瑚属Phytopsis为在亚洲地区的首次发现和报道。本文选取塔中822、塔中82、塔中30、塔中23和塔中43井上奥陶统取心段研究四分珊瑚化石的分布特征,发现四分珊瑚化石集中出现在奥陶系上统桑比阶—凯迪阶良里塔格组良三段至良一段,在塔中台地边缘礁滩相和台地内部泻湖相内均有分布,是一类广适型的生物。其中,礁滩相内多为似植珊瑚属Phytopsis、四分珊瑚属Tetradium的块状复体碎块,泻湖相内多为个体形态较大的四分珊瑚属Tetradium,杆四分珊瑚属Rhabdotetradium,似植珊瑚属Phytopsis及古槽珊瑚属Palaeoalveolites的块状和丛状复体碎块。结合全球其他板块四分珊瑚的古地理分布规律,认为在奥陶纪生物大辐射背景下,四分珊瑚自中奥陶统出现后,在上奥陶统凯迪期发生大规模辐射。塔里木板块塔中台地奥陶系良里塔格组中的四分珊瑚即为上奥陶统凯迪期的辐射产物,其辐射规律与全球底栖造礁生物的辐射规律一致。

     

Anomalous Concentrations of Rare Metal Elements, Rare-scattered (Dispersed) Elements and Rare Earth Elements in the Coal from Iqe Coalfield, Qinghai Province, China

Total of 23 bench samples were taken from the No. 7 Coal of Iqe Coalfield, Qinghai Province, China, following Chinese Standard Method GB/T 482-2008 (2008). These samples were analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The results indicate that the No. 7 Coal belongs to a low rank (Ro,ran =0.659%) and high-ash coal (40.54%). Compared to common Chinese and world low-rank coals, the Iqe coal contains anomalous concentrations of rare metal elements, rare-scattered (dispersed) elements and rare earth elements. The highest contents of Rb, Cs, Ga and REY reach to 180, 26, 37, and 397 ppm, respectively. Their average contents of these elements are 10.9, 15, 4.8 and 3.5 times higher than those of world coals, respectively. Minerals in the coal include kaolinite, quartz, muscovite, siderite, and traces of rutile, and brookite. Kaolinite could be main host minerals of Rb, Cs, Ga and REY. The anomalous rare element Rb and Cs accumulation in the Iqe coal is related to both organic and inorganic matter. The REY concentrations may be related to circulation of thermal solutions, contained or sorbed by clayey particles, and organic matter as well.     

塔里木盆地中央隆起区上寒武统—下奥陶统白云岩地球化学特征及白云石化流体演化规律*

以详细的岩石学研究为基础,综合利用碳、氧、锶同位素等地球化学资料,深入分析了塔里木盆地中央隆起区上寒武统—下奥陶统白云石化流体演化规律以及白云岩成因机制。结果表明,上寒武统白云岩主要由泥晶—粉晶白云岩、微生物白云岩和(残余)颗粒白云岩等原始结构保留较好的白云岩构成,其C、Sr同位素与同期海水相近,O同位素值偏正,属于同生/准同生期与轻微蒸发海水有关的白云石化的产物;下奥陶统白云岩以细晶自形—半自形白云石为主,原始结构保留差,其C、Sr同位素与同期海水近似,但O同位素值略微偏负,主要为浅埋藏期白云石化的产物。部分早期白云岩在中—深埋藏过程中受埋藏重结晶和构造—热液白云石化的影响,形成细晶—粗晶他形白云岩和缝洞鞍形白云石充填物,该阶段白云石化流体主要来自于地层内封存的海源流体、深部热液以及蒸发岩层间热卤水,多期多源流体的共同作用导致该类白云岩具有较宽的Sr同位素组成和明显负偏的O同位素值。总体上,研究区白云岩具有早期形成(近地表到浅埋藏期大规模交代)、中期加强(中—深埋藏期部分重结晶)、晚期改造(热液局部调整)的整体演化趋势。     

塔里木盆地奥陶系礁滩相储集体特征

塔里木盆地奥陶系多个地区发育礁滩相储集体。综合分析露头、岩心、岩石薄片及相关测试数据,对礁滩相储集体的发育条件及储集性能进行了研究。结果表明:礁相与滩相常以复合伴生的形式存在,根据滩相的岩性特征可将台地边缘划分为低能、相对低能、相对高能及高能4种类型,骨架礁、障积礁、灰泥丘所代表的台地边缘水动力条件依次降低。礁滩储集体基质孔渗性差,储集空间以裂缝—孔洞型为主,其次是裂缝—孔隙型、孔洞型、裂缝型和复合型。古地貌与构造控制了礁滩储集体的发育,而岩溶、构造破碎等建设性成岩作用是礁滩相灰岩形成良好储集体的必要条件。     

塔里木盆地北部奥陶系油气相态及其成因分析

塔里木盆地北部地区奥陶系是最重要的勘探层系,油气资源丰富;同时油气相态复杂多样,既有凝析气藏、正常油藏,也有稠油油藏、沥青等。通过对油气藏形成演化与保存过程的系统分析,结合油气地球化学和流体包裹体等分析数据,发现油气相态的多样性与油气多期次充注与次生蚀变作用有关。提出塔北隆起的东部奥陶系存在三期油气充注过程,分别发生在加里东运动晚期-海西早期、海西运动晚期、喜马拉雅运动晚期,原油主要来源于中、上奥陶统烃源岩,天然气主要来自与寒武系烃源岩有关的液态烃的裂解;塔北隆起的中西部奥陶系的油气充注主要发生在海西运动晚期。塔北奥陶系油藏形成以后,经历了三期明显的调整改造过程:海西早期构造抬升导致志留-泥盆系遭受剥蚀,东部源自寒武系油气的古油藏遭受破坏,形成沥青;三叠系沉积前的晚海西运动,使得奥陶系生源的油藏大范围遭受降解稠化;晚喜山期,来自于满加尔坳陷的天然气自东向西充注,致使隆起东部早期形成的油藏发生强烈的气侵改造,形成次生凝析气藏。而中西部奥陶系油藏在三叠系沉积前遭受降解稠化后,一直处于沉降深埋过程,油藏得到有效保存;由于成藏时间较早,轻质组分散失较多,气油比极低,油质较稠。研究认为,油气相态的多样性主要受晚海西期构造运动的抬升造成的生物降解作用和喜马拉雅晚期构造运动造成的天然气自东向西大规模充注对油藏进行气洗改造两大过程的控制。     

塔里木盆地古城地区鹰山组白云岩稀土元素地球化学特征及成因

白云岩成因一直是地质学研究的热点领域。塔里木盆地塔东低隆起古城低凸起中—下奥陶统鹰山组发育厚层白云岩。为研究这些白云岩的成因,在岩心、薄片观测基础上,按照晶体粒度大小将白云岩分为泥晶白云岩、粉晶白云岩、细晶白云岩、中晶白云岩、粗晶白云岩,并对各类白云岩及缝洞充填物进行了稀土元素地球化学特征的研究。结果表明,各类白云岩及缝洞充填物稀土元素NASC配分模式分为6种类型：δCe弱正异常δEu正异常型、δCe负异常δEu强正异常型、δCe强负异常型、微右倾型、微左倾型和平坦型。分析上述6种白云岩及缝洞充填物的成因为：前2种类型形成于两期热液或不同演化阶段的同一期热液环境;第3种类型形成于蒸发泵模式;第4和第5种形成于两种性质不同的埋藏白云化流体;第6种则由渗透回流作用形成。古城地区鹰山组白云岩的成因非常复杂,成因模式多样,包括蒸发泵模式、渗透回流模式、埋藏白云化模式、热液白云化模式4种。     

Jurassic Black Shales Facies from Qiangtang Basin (Northern Tibet):Rare Earth and Trace Elements for Paleoceanographic Implications

The Biluo Co and Amdo 114 station, northern Tibet, cropping out the Early Toarcian and Middle-Late Tithonian (Jurassic) organic-rich black shales, have been a focus to petroleum geologists in discussing their oil-producing potential. This paper first reports the trace elements and rare earth elements to discuss the paleoenvironments, redox conditions and sedimentary mechanisms of those black shales. Both sections exhibit variation in trace element abundances with concentrations <0.1 ppm to 760 ppm, mostly enriched in V, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Ba and U. Element ratios of Ni/Co, V/Cr, U/Th and V/(V+Ni) plus U were used to identify redox conditions. The shale-normalized rare earth element (REE) patterns are characterized by the flat-shale type with instable Ce anomalies and very weekly positive Eu anomalies. Positive Ceanom values are significant with values varying between –0.064 and 0.029 in Biluo Co, which may be interpreted as release of REE and input of riverine terrestrial matter with rich Ce (resulting in pH change) during the anoxic conditions. In the middle parts of Amdo 114 station, distinct negative Ceanom values are observed (?0.238 to ?0.111) and associated surface water warming were interpreted as being related to a major sea level rise. In contrast, the formation of the black shales in the lower and upper part of the studied succession took place during a cooler (Ceanom values >–0.10), lower surface water productivity, and lower sea-level stage. Thus, we emphasize the role of different factors that control the formation of local and regional black shales. The most important factors are sea-level fluctuations and increasing productivity.     

塔里木盆地柯坪地区上寒武统表生溶蚀型藻格架白云岩的地球化学特征及意义*

采用野外观察、室内薄片鉴定及多项地球化学分析技术方法,对塔里木盆地柯坪地区上寒武统表生溶蚀型藻格架白云岩的特征及成因进行了研究。宏观上,藻格架白云岩呈丘状、透镜状夹于潮坪相白云岩层间,由于差异性溶蚀,发育了大量表生溶蚀孔。微观上,藻格架由富藻的泥粉晶白云石组成,而架间孔由浅色的亮晶白云石充填。藻格架泥粉晶白云石呈他形—半自形,镶嵌结构,具有暗红色—橙红色的阴极发光,较高的Na、K含量,较低的Fe含量;δ¹³C为-0.572‰～0.124‰、平均值-0.116‰,δ¹⁸O为-5.391‰～-4.983‰、平均值-5.240‰,表明其形成于准同生阶段盐度较高的相对氧化环境中。架间充填的亮晶白云石胶结物,呈半自形—自形中细晶,具有昏暗的阴极发光或者不发光,较低的Na、K含量,较高的Fe含量,δ¹³C值为-0.662‰～-0.251‰、平均值为-0.460‰;δ¹⁸O值为-6.639‰～-5.939‰、平均值-6.267‰,表明其形成于相对还原的埋藏环境。稀土元素分析结果表明,二者均具有LREE轻微富集、HREE亏损、Eu负异常特征,与海相泥晶灰岩稀土元素配分模式相似,揭示了其白云化流体均来自于原始的海水。在溶蚀作用方面,亮晶白云石胶结物相对泥粉晶白云石藻格架更易于溶蚀。前者在大气水表生溶蚀过程中,主量元素Ca、Mg丢失显著,Mg/Ca值由0.955降至0.007,微量元素Na、K丢失相对明显,Na/Ca值由原来的3.8×10^-4降为1.9×10^-4,K/Ca值由1.1×10^-3降至检测限以下,而不改变稀土元素的配分模式。这些特征表明,表生溶蚀过程在元素特征上是一个去白云化的盐度降低过程,而这一过程中基本无稀土元素的带入带出。

利用ICP_MS测试方法系统分析了黔西织金新华磷矿磷块岩的稀土元素组成,同时还测定了贵州遵义和湖南张家界等华南下寒武统黑色岩系中磷块岩的稀土元素含量。结果显示①新华磷块岩稀土元素总量(ΣREE)较高,变化较大,为164.23×10-6～1395.01×10-6,平均642.54×10-6,轻重稀土分异明显,LREE/HREE值为5.04～6.52,平均5.69,而华南其他地区磷块岩的ΣREE和LREE/HREE分别为156.69×10-6～637.41×10-6(平均431.75×10-6)和3.17～6.95(平均4.37);②新华磷块岩的δCe为0.26～0.53,华南其他地区磷块岩的δCe为0.30～0.66,均具明显的Ce负异常,表明它们均为典型海相沉积磷块岩,主要形成于陆缘海环境,且新华磷块岩形成的深度较深;③大多数样品具不明显的Eu正异常,少部分出现较高的Eu正异常,δEu介于0.98～2.40,显示这些磷块岩的形成过程中可能有较高温(>200℃)、强还原热液的加入;④新华磷块岩中HREE相对亏损,且多数样品LaN/NdN>1,而δY>1.5,δY与δCe之间不存在相关性,说明磷块岩遭受了较强的后期风化淋滤作用,深埋成岩作用基本未改变其REE组成。
