Progress report deals with: 1) Geochronology — potassium-argon — principally Precambrian. Gives dates on Precambrian of Baltic Shield including eastern Sweden, Northeastern Norway, Finland, Karelia, and Kola Peninsula. Gives a correlation of the Precambrian for the entire European U.S.S.R. 2) Depth and origin of magmatic ore deposits using reconstructed erosion surfaces for the major periods of mineralization. The depth zones of ore formation of American and European theories is questioned. 3) Tectonic mapping in crustal studies. And in this conjunction 4) Bathy-metric map of the Pacific has been prepared, conspicuous features are major tectonic and volcanic forms of the ocean bottom, as well as minor detail. Brief mention is made of ore deposits from the ocean. 5) “Weathering Crust” studies of subaerial weathering erosion and deposition, mainly of ancient crusts. 6) Study on the origin and distribution of “agricultural areas”, mainly phosphates. 7) Compilation of a Manual of Minerals now underway.--M.A. Klugman.     

Nature conservation in the Nordic countries: Consensus rather than conflict

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the aims, methods, planning and management, and current problems of countryside conservation in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. The traditional Nordic common-law of “every man's right of access” to the countryside is of longstanding. In these countries conservation is as much concerned with the protection, for public use, of landscapes of recreational and/or scenic value as with the conservation of ‘wild nature’. In addition, conservation is usually closely integrated with other aspects of physical planning, while responsibility for its management has been devolved, to a greater or lesser extent, from national or regional authorities to local government. The particular aims and methods of conservation, however, vary with the nature of the biophysical resource base, the legislative structure and the stage of conservation planning in the individual countries. In this respect, Denmark has the most sophisticated and developed system, Finland the least. The wider concept of conservation and its close integration with countryside planning in all the Nordic countries contrast with conservation in the U.K. It is suggested that the Nordic approach to the solution of conservation problems might be relevant to a solution of the increasing conflict of ecological, economic and social interests in the British countryside today.     

Metal sources in the Early Proterozoic Svecofennian terrain of central Sweden: Pb isotope evidence

The lead isotope composition of three Cu-Zn-Pb sulfide deposits and one Au deposit in the Early Proterozoic Svecofennian of central Sweden reveals the existence of two distinct lead sources in the region. Rockliden and Enstern contain lead of upper crustal affinity and are isotopically homogeneous. Lead in these deposits probably originates from Archean-derived detritus which was well homogenized by sedimentary processes and deposited over large areas as a component in Early Proterozoic sedimentary and tuffaceous rocks. Lead isotopic homogeneity within the Tjärnberget and Enåsen deposits is less pronounced, and the less radiogenic character of the lead suggests a source of mantle affinity. In areas where metasedimentary rocks are absent or contain very little Archean-derived material the isotopic signature of mantle-derived volcanic rocks is reflected in the ore lead. This approach is also applicable to other Svecofennian deposits. Together with deposits in west-central Finland the Rockliden deposit constitutes the northern boundary for lead of upper-crustal affinity, i.e., Archean-derived lead, in Svecofennian sulfide deposits.Despite these differences the isotope ratios of the four deposits indicate that they formed roughly contemporaneously with other Svecofennian deposits in Sweden and Finland.     

Source of metals and age constraints for epigenetic gold deposits in the Skellefte and Pohjanmaa districts,central part of the Fennoscandian Shield

The lead isotopic compositions of galena in Early Proterozoic gold deposits have been determined for three districts in northern Sweden and central Finland. The deposits are hosted by a variety of 1870–1890 Ma Svecofennian host rocks including the volcanosedimentary succession within the Skellefte District island arc in Sweden as well as I-type tonalites at Jörn (Sweden) and Pohjanmaa (Finland). The deposits are epigenetic in relation to these Svecofennian rocks and are part of a goldbearing metallogenetic belt, which can be followed for 600 km parallel to the southwestern margin of the Archaean Domain. In spite of these epigenetic relationships, the lead isotopic data indicate that the deposits are not dramatically younger than the 1870–1890 Ma Svecofennian host rocks (probably not exceeding 10–20 million years). Two principal lead sources were activated when the gold deposits were formed. The most significant source is represented by the I-type tonalites, which constitute a relatively primitive ( = 9.3) and widely distributed source in the entire metallogenic belt. In addition, the volcanic components in the westernmost part of the Skellefte District constitute an extremely primitive ( <9.0) source, which only locally was an important contributor to the epigenetic deposits in this metallogenetic belt. The significantly different lead isotopic composition estimated for these sources indicates that the volcanic rocks in the western part of the Skellefte District were not comagmatic with the I-type tonalites recognized at Jörn and central Finland.     

The Nordkalott-Nordqua symposium 1987

The results from a Nordic research project on Quaternary geology, entitled the Nordkalott project, were presented at a symposium in northern Sweden in 1987. Organic deposits and tills in northern Fennoscandia are interpreted as belonging to the Eemian as well as to interstadials and stades of the Weichselian. Retreat of the ice front under cold climatic conditions has been assumed for parts of northern Norway. Ice-dammed lakes formed during the deglaciation period are described from northern Finland. Boreas , Vol. 17, no. 4, consists of articles based on the symposium contributions.

Ore-Bearing Formations of the Precambrian in South China and Their Prospects

In the Precambrian System of the Yangtze and Cathaysian plates six ore-bearing formations can be identified: the Cu-Pb-Zn-bearing formations in volcanic rocks of marine facies of the Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic, Cu-Au-bearing formations and Pb-Zn-bearing formations in volcanic rocks of marine facies of the Mesoproterozoic, Pb-Zn-bearing formations in volcaniclastic rock and carbonate rock of the Neoproterozoic, Fe-Mn-bearing formations in the volcaniclastic rock of the Neoproterozoic, and Ni-Cr-serpentine-bearing formations in ophiolite and ultrabasic rock of the Meso- and Neoproterozoic. They were mostly formed in the marginal rift valleys of the Yangtze and Cathaysian plates, where occur stratabound and stratiform ore deposits, thermal deposits and porphyry polymetallic deposits. The six regions with ore-bearing formations have good prospects for ore deposits.     

云南腾冲大六冲火山机构的发现及意义

腾冲火山群位于我国云南省西部和缅甸交界处的腾冲县境内,是我国著名的第四纪火山群,既有黑空山、打鹰山、马鞍山等一系列晚第四纪新期火山,也有早更新世以来有过喷发活动的大六冲、余家大山、来凤山等老火山。其中,位于腾冲火山区中东部的大六冲山势高峻,其顶峰是本区内的最高峰。野外地质调查发现,大六冲山体由一系列巨厚层爆发相火山碎屑堆积物和少量溢流相熔岩类岩石构成,喷发物类型极其丰富。在大六冲最高峰以南约100m处,首次发现存在着一个直径超百米的火山通道,可能是区内早期火山喷发的主通道,火山颈、熔岩穹丘、岩墙、爆发相与溢出相堆积物构成了大六冲完整的火山机构,在其周边多处地方还发现了因山体岩石破碎后形成的垮塌和滑坡堆积物。大六冲火山机构及其滑塌物的发现,不仅可以解释腾冲火山区大范围分布的火山碎屑岩的来源,也为防治以后类似大规模喷发可能造成的次生地质灾害提供了理想的研究样本和未来灾害预警。

块状硫化物矿床与火山岩岩相的关系

块状硫化物矿床(黄铁矿型矿床、黑矿型矿床)与玄武岩-流纹岩建造的相互关系是由矿石与围岩形成的近似性所决定的,更确切地说,是矿石有规律地产在火山岩一定的岩相中。近年来,火山岩系的岩相分析已成为火山岩地区区域地质调查、块状硫化物矿床普查勘探工作中最重要的方法之一。这是因为,一方面岩相分析和古火山恢复方法,可以对火山体、火山岩系的喷发沉积旋回,以及火山岩的层序进行详细的研究,从而较为客观地总结出     

Paleotectonic Setting of Dongyan Group of Middle and Upper Proterozoic in Central Fujian Province

The central Fujian Province, situated on the juncture of paleo-uplift of Wuyishan, Yongmei Late Paleozoic depression and the eastern volcanic rift-fanlting zone, is mainly composed of the outcropped metamorphic basements in the Middle-Late and Early Proterozoic, which constitute two upper and lower giant thick formations of Precambrian volcanic-sedimentary cycles, respectively. The formation of Dongyan Group is an important Middle-Upper Proterozoic component, and the Dongyan Group is directly related to massive sulfide deposit in this area. In recent years, plenty of lead, zinc, copper, silver and gold deposits have been found and explored. The Precambrian paleorift setting of the central Fujian Province served as a favorite metallogenic background for the formation of large- and superlargescale volcanic massive sulfide (VMS) lead and zinc polymetal deposits. The Dongyan Group consists chiefly of a set of ancient volcanic sedimentary formations that are composed mainly of greenschist. Its major lithologic types comprise greenschist, marble, quartzite and granofels class including various components. The metamorphic rocks of Dongyan Group are the main composition of Middle and Upper Proterozoic volcanic-sedimentary cycle. The original rock of Dongyan Group, a stable rock association, is volcanic sedimentation and normal marine sedimentation. But the original volcanic rocks, basic and acid, are bimodal. The volcanic rocks were formed in the extensional continental rift setting.     

松辽盆地晚中生代火山活动与天然气成藏

松辽盆地晚中生代主要发育了两期大规模的火山活动,形成了火石岭组和营城组火山岩地层。火山活动高峰期分别为150 Ma和110 Ma,其中以营城组火山活动规模较大,持续时间较长,对油气的生成与成藏影响最大。晚中生代火山活动贯穿了火石岭组和沙河子组气源岩的主生烃期,加速了有机质的成熟和演化。火山喷发早于火山岩气藏的主成藏期,为气藏的形成提供了优质的储层和运移通道,有利于气藏的保存。营城组火山岩储层裂缝中充填大量的方解石、石英或岩浆浆屑等后期热液流体,其中粗面岩裂缝中岩浆浆屑的K-Ar全岩年龄为72.98 Ma,该期热液活动对火山岩储层的后期改造、天然气的运移及CO_2气藏的形成等具有重要作用。

The volcanoes of an oceanic arc from origin to destruction: A case from the northern Luzon Arc

Volcanoes were created, grew, uplifted, became dormant or extinct, and were accreted as part of continents during continuous arc–continent collision. Volcanic rocks in Eastern Taiwan’s Coastal Range (CR) are part of the northern Luzon Arc, an oceanic island arc produced by the subduction of the South China Sea Plate beneath the Philippine Sea Plate. Igneous rocks are characterized by intrusive bodies, lava and pyroclastic flows, and volcaniclastic rocks with minor tephra deposits. Based on volcanic facies associations, Sr–Nd isotopic geochemistry, and the geography of the region, four volcanoes were identified in the CR: Yuemei, Chimei, Chengkuangao, and Tuluanshan. Near-vent facies associations show different degrees of erosion in the volcanic edifices for Chimei, Chengkuangao, and Tuluanshan. Yuemei lacks near-vent rocks, implying that Yuemei’s main volcanic body may have been subducted at the Ryukyu Trench with the northward motion of the Philippine Sea Plate. These data suggest a hypothesis for the evolution of volcanism and geomorphology during arc growth and ensuing arc–continent collision in the northern Luzon Arc, which suggests that these volcanoes were formed from the seafloor, emerging as islands during arc volcanism. They then became dormant or extinct during collision, and finally, were uplifted and accreted by additional collision. The oldest volcano, Yuemei, may have already been subducted into the Ryukyu Trench.

Sedimentation and water escape structures in some late Precambrian shallow marine sandstones from Finnmark, North Norway

Water escape structures are abundant in the Grønnes Formation, a tectonically undeformed, late Precambrian shallow marine sandstone deposit in North Norway. Trough cross-bedded sandstones of the current-dominated shallow marine environment were frequently liquefied, presumably due to recurring seismic shocks. Subsequent dewatering resulted in deformation of the cross-bedding and the formation of convolute lamination. A three-fold upward vertical sequence developed where liquefaction occurred below the sediment-water interface: convoluted bed → passively deformed bed → undeformed bed. The passively deformed bed resulted from differential subsidence of a relatively plastic bed above a liquefied bed. It is characterized by anticlinal ridges and sand volcanoes at the sites of vertical sediment extrusion, and synclinal troughs at the sites of lateral sediment movement. Liquefaction may have been induced by either tectonic (earthquake shocks) or non-tectonic (storm-induced microseisms) trigger mechanisms, or a combination of both. The restriction of such a high frequency of water escape structures to deposits immediately above a gentle regional unconformity lends support for a tectonic trigger mechanism.
