基性岩脉与金成矿的关系

基性岩脉是大陆伸展背景下,主要来自陆下软流圈或地幔岩石圈的岩浆侵入岩体.大量研究成果表明基性岩脉发育与金矿脉在空间展布、构造格局和形成时间具有紧密依存关系,虽然对基性岩脉是否为金矿脉提供金源尚无统一定论,但是根据基性岩脉与金矿化紧密的时空关系,基性岩脉可以作为找金矿的良好标志.     

Origin of composite dikes in the Gouldsboro granite, coastal Maine

Composite dikes, consisting of aphyric basaltic margins and phenocryst-rich rhyolitic interiors, cut the Gouldsboro granite of coastal Maine at many localities. Limited hybridization (exchange of crystals, commingling, and mixing) occurs in most of the dikes and indicates that the two magmas were contemporaneous with emplacement of rhyolitic magma following closely in time the initial emplacement of the basaltic dike. Petrographic characteristics and geochemistry indicate that the source of the rhyolite was resident magma in the Gouldsboro granite magma chamber. The composite dikes formed when basaltic dikes ruptured the Gouldsboro magma chamber, permitting partly crystallized magma from the margin of the chamber to flow outward into the center of the basaltic dikes. Field relations of similar composite dikes in other areas (e.g., Iceland, Scotland) are consistent with this model. A second type of composite dike (silicic margins with chilled basaltic pillows) commonly cuts mafic intrusions along the Maine coast and probably formed when a granitic dike ruptured an established chamber of mafic magma, permitting resident mafic magma to collapse downward into the still Liquid granitic dike. Most composite dikes have probably formed when a magma chamber was disrupted by a dike of contrasting magma rather than by tapping a stratified magma chamber.

中国东南部中生代基性岩脉时空分布与形成机理

中国东南部发育的基性岩脉见于中生代各个时期,其年龄从内陆至沿海逐渐变新,与区内花岗岩年龄有相同的变化趋势,但两者活动高峰期不重合。基性岩脉主要发育于花岗岩体内部的拉裂带,鲜见穿过花岗岩上方或周围的沉积变质盖层。中生代各时期的基性岩脉与相应时期的中酸性和基性火山岩浆活动具有清晰的分带现象。进一步研究表明,基性岩脉与同期基性火山岩应是同源不同相的产物,而中酸性喷发的岩浆与基性喷发(侵入)的岩浆,则可能分别来自壳内熔融层和壳下(地幔)熔融层或壳内岩浆层的上部和下部。中酸性与基性岩浆活动的"错峰"现象和基性岩脉带的"迁移"现象,均与本区中生代陆壳系统的内能变化有关。     

Weak tensile characteristics of loess in China — An important reason for ground fissures

By means of uniaxial tensile tests, we analyzed the tensile characteristics of undisturbed and disturbed loess samples taken from the areas where ground fissures are prevalent. The study shows that the tensile strength and ultimate tensile strain of loess are very small, no more than 25 kPa and 0.5%, respectively. Water content and dry density are the two important factors for the tensile strength of loess, and show a decreasing exponential and increasing exponential relationship with the tensile strength, respectively. From the results of tensile tests on loess and the mechanism of ground fissure development in loess areas, we may draw a conclusion that the weak tensile strength, the loose structure and the collapsibility are the important contributing factors to the development of ground fissures in China's loess areas.     

攀西地区二叠纪赋存铌钽矿的正长岩脉的成因探讨

攀西地区广泛发育正长岩脉,其中有些岩脉富含铌钽等稀有金属元素。这些岩脉多侵入于二叠纪辉长岩体中,并与该区玄武岩及长英质岩体共生。锆石U-Pb年代学表明这些正长岩脉与长英质岩体及辉长岩体形成时代相一致(258~256Ma),但是否有成因联系并不清楚。本文对攀西地区炉库和白草两个Nb-Ta矿区中的富矿正长岩脉、贫矿正长岩脉及相关正长岩体在进行了详细的岩石学、矿物学及主微量地球化学的基础上,又开展了全岩Sr-Nd同位素研究。研究表明,岩石的εNd(t)非常均一(富矿正长岩脉εNd(t)=-0.2~+0.2,贫矿正长岩脉εNd(t)=-0.3~+0.7,正长岩体εNd(t)=-0.3~+0.4);两矿区岩石初始86Sr/87Sr值同位素则表现出宽泛的范围,正长岩体和贫矿正长岩脉的(86Sr/87Sr)i分别变化于0.7032~0.7090和0.7044~0.7064,富矿正长岩脉的(86Sr/87Sr)i变化于0.7049~0.7091,较大的初始86Sr/87Sr比值可能由于岩石遭受一定程度的蚀变所致。本文两矿区的富矿正长岩脉及贫矿正长岩脉和正长岩体的Sr-Nd同位素特征,与攀西地区红格镁铁质/超镁铁质层状侵入体的一致(εNd(t)=-2.7~+1.0,(86Sr/87Sr)i=0.7058~0.7064),表明其与峨眉山玄武岩及镁铁质侵入体来自于相同的地幔源区。结合作者及其他研究者对本区正长岩脉和相关正长岩体的主微量地球化学研究,我们认为本区炉库和白草矿区的富矿正长岩脉及相关正长岩体可能是峨眉山地幔柱岩浆活动造成的底侵在下地壳底部的辉长质岩石低程度(5%~10%)部分熔融形成的产物,且较少受到地壳物质混染。     

苗儿山地区中生代酸性脉岩地球化学特征及其成因

苗儿山地区中生代酸性脉岩主要为细粒白云母花岗岩和花岗斑岩,具有较高的Al2O3、K2O、Na2O含量和较低的TiO2、MgO含量,微量元素以富集Rb、Th、U、Ta而亏损Ba、Sr为特征,稀土元素总量偏低,轻稀土富集,Eu亏损强烈。在CaO/Na2O-Al2O3/TiO2和Rb/Sr-Rb/Ba图解上,酸性脉岩具有上地壳富黏土质泥岩的特征。这些特征与豆乍山、香草坪等岩体的地球化学特征相似,表明酸性脉岩与岩体的物质来源相同,即早期酸性花岗岩体的母岩浆滞留于地下深部,经一定程度分离结晶和固结后,晚期熔体沿花岗岩体内外接触带及断裂构造上升形成脉岩。强烈的分离结晶作用可以导致铀等成矿元素在残余熔体中的高度富集,为铀矿床的形成提供必要的物质基础。     

Petrogenesis of composite dikes in granitoids of western Transbaikalia

The performed studies have revealed two varieties of composite dikes differing in morphology and internal structure depending on (1) the proportions of salic and basic components and (2) the rheologic state of the host environment. The latter can be both a solid substrate with open fractures and a melt at different stages of crystallization. The evaluated isotopic age of dikes in the Shaluta massif, 290.8 ± 2.7 Ma and 283.4 ± 3.4 Ma, is correlated with the time of the pluton formation. The age of the composite dike breaking through the metamorphic deposits on the eastern shore of Lake Baikal is 284.10 ± 0.96 Ma. The mass formation of composite dikes in western Transbaikalia is correlated with the Late Paleozoic magmatism, which resulted in one of the Earth’s largest granitoid provinces. The intrusion of dikes was not a single-stage event; it lasted at least 10-12 Myr and was apparently related to the repeated intrusion of large volumes of salic magmas and the formation of granitoid plutons. Early Mesozoic composite dikes associated with alkali-granitoid plutons of the Late Kunalei igneous complex (230-210 Ma) are much scarcer. Basic magmas of the composite dikes were generated at depths greater than 75 km as a result of the melting of a modified (enriched in crustal components) mantle source. Salic components of the dikes, independently of their geologic position, are generally similar in composition to the granitoids of the plutonic facies, and the differences are apparently due to hybridization proceeding at great depths.© 2018, V.S.

闽西晚中生代基性岩脉的地球化学研究

对闽西三个地区基性岩脉的地球化学研究发现,该区域的基性岩脉为亚碱性岩石系列,具有高 Al、低 Ti、Na2O > K2O的特征;相对富集大离子亲石元素,亏损高强场元素.半村辉绿岩脉和拔里角闪辉长岩脉以 Nb、Ta、Ti负异常为特征,林子坟辉长辉绿岩脉具有 Nb、Ta负异常和 Ti弱正异常.半村和拔里的岩脉稀土元素总量高,明显富集轻稀土元素,(La/Yb)N=6.8～8.4;林子坟的岩脉稀土元素总量相对较低,轻稀土元素弱富集,(La/Yb)N=2.0.结合基性岩脉的地球化学特征和区域构造演化分析,初步认为半村和拔里的基性岩脉来自与俯冲作用有关的富大离子亲石元素流体交代的富集地幔;林子坟基性岩脉是软流圈地幔部分熔融的产物,地壳混染作用是其相对富集大离子亲石元素的原因.结合玄武岩构造环境判别图解可知,半村和拔里岩脉具有的大陆边缘弧的特征并不指示基性岩脉形成的构造环境,而是说明其源区受到俯冲板片派生出来的流体交代作用.半村和拔里岩脉形成于大陆板内拉张带,林子坟岩脉形成于板内裂谷环境.与华南其他地区的基性岩脉对比表明,虽然晚中生代华南地区处于拉张的构造背景下,但是岩脉形成的构造环境与微量元素地球化学特征均有明显的差异,反映了各地区构造环境演变和地幔演化的复杂性.     

Geochemistry of mafic dikes in the Singhbhum Orissa craton: implications for subduction-related metasomatism of the mantle beneath the eastern Indian craton

Mafic dikes, which transect the Mesoarchaean Singhbhum Granitoid Complex, are the most abundant members of the Newer Dolerite dikes of the Singhbhum Orissa craton. These dikes are subalkaline and exhibit a tholeiitic differentiation trend. Studied dikes underwent fractional crystallization of clinopyroxene and plagioclase. They show enriched patterns for the light rare earth elements (LREE) and large ion lithophile elements (LILE). On primitive mantle-normalized multi-element patterns, they possess Ba, Nb, Sr, P, and Ti depletions similar to subduction-related basaltic rocks. The high (La/Yb) _n and (Gd/Yb) _n ratios suggest that the studied mafic dikes were derived by low degrees of partial melting of a garnet-bearing source. Judging by trace elemental ratios (e.g. Ba/Y, Nb/Y, Ba/Th and Th/Nb), the studied dikes were derived from a mantle source metasomatized by a subduction component (e.g. fluids derived by dehydration of the subducting slab). We conclude that interaction between these fluids and the overlying mantle was the main cause of (LREE and LILE) enrichment and Nb (high field strength elements) depletion in the mafic dikes.     

广东沿海地区基性岩脉地球化学及成因

广东沿海地区基性岩脉的成岩年龄是146~54 Ma,主要形成于白垩纪,次为侏罗纪和第三纪。可将工作区基性岩脉的形成时代分为5期：第一期146Ma,第二期138~132Ma,第三期112~105Ma,第四期99~82Ma,第五期75~54Ma。根据K₂O/Na₂O比值和K₂O含量,以及不相容元素分配模式的“Nb-Ta”异常,可以划分出两类基性岩脉。第一类K₂O/Na₂O比值<0.5和K₂O含量<1.3%,在微量元素MORB标准化图解中具有弱的“Nb-Ta”负异常。第二类K₂O/Na₂O比值>0.5和K₂O含量>1.3%,在微量元素MORB标准化图解中具有显著的“Nb-Ta”负异常。在K₂O-SiO₂图解中,第一类基性岩脉样品落入中钾岩石范围,第二类基性岩脉样品落入高钾岩石或钾玄岩范围。基性岩脉分布的重要特点是中钾基性岩脉分布于本区北部上地幔拗陷区,而高钾基性岩脉分布于本区南部地幔隆起区或斜坡区。两类基性岩脉有着不同的岩浆来源。在本区北部,软流圈物质入侵和熔蚀Ⅰ型富集地幔混合形成中钾基性岩脉,随着时代的由老至新和熔蚀作用的不断进行,岩浆中Ⅰ型富集地幔成分增加。晚期,岩浆活动向连平、新丰一带迁移。在本区南部,软流圈物质入侵并熔蚀Ⅱ型富集地幔,形成具有软流圈物质和Ⅱ型富集地幔混合特征的高钾基性岩脉。随着熔蚀作用的不断进行,岩浆中Ⅱ型富集地幔成分增加,晚期基性岩浆活动向三水裂谷、南澳裂谷迁移。     

Modeling of an MTBE plume at Pascoag, Rhode Island

A numerical groundwater flow and mass transport model was developed to predict the extent of impact from methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) release on a down-gradient drinking water well field. An MTBE incident in Pascoag, Rhode Island, was used as a case study and the plume’s past and future development was simulated using scenario analysis. The numerical code used was GeoSys/Rockflow, which permits a coupled flow and transport simulation as one object, thus alleviating the need for simulating the MTBE fate with separate flow and transport codes. The numerical model was built on available hydrogeological and chemical data as well as on GIS information of the site. By comparing the simulated results with observed field data, it was found that the model could provide reliable results even when the simulated aquifer was simplified to a two-dimensional flow and transport domain. Finally, the calibrated model was used for exploring a location that may be suitable for a new well field. Despite the model limitations associated with uncertainties of data and simplifying assumptions, numerical modeling of this MTBE contaminated site proved a useful tool and provided guidance for future municipal well field operation strategies and aquifer remediation alternatives.

2-D rotation behavior of a rigid ellipse in confined viscous simple shear: numerical experiments using FEM

The rotation behavior of rigid elliptical inclusions adherent to the viscous matrix in simple shear flow is investigated using a 2-D finite element numerical model. Several simulations were performed using different ratios (S) between shear zone width and inclusion's least principal axis. A computational strategy was devised to calculate pressure and viscous forces exerted on the inclusion and deduce its angular velocity. For large S values, results agree remarkably well with theoretical predictions, while for small S values results deviate significantly from theory but are in agreement with previous analogue experiments. The numerical model provided detailed and coherent information about the physical parameters involved in the process (e.g., pressure, strain rate and vorticity distributions within the model).     

Origin of 1.8 Ga zircons in Post Eocene mafic dikes in the Roshtkhar area,NE Iran

The Roshtkhar area is located in the Khaf-Kashmar-Bardaskan volcano-plutonic belt to the northeastern Iran along the regional E–W trending Dorouneh Fault, northeastern of the Lut Block. There are several outcrops of subvolcanic rocks occurring mainly as dikes in the area, which intruded into Cenozoic intrusive rocks. We present U–Pb dating of zircons from a diabase dike and syenite rock using LA-ICP-MS that yielded an age of 1778 ± 10 Ma for the dike, indicating this Cenozoic dike has zircon xenocrysts inherited from deeper sources; and 38.0 ± 0.5 Ma, indicating an Late Eocene crystallization age for the syenite. Geochemically, the dikes typical of high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic magmas. Petrographic observations and major and trace element variations suggest that diabase melts underwent variable fractionation of clinopyroxene, olivine, and Fe-Ti oxides and minor crustal contamination during the differentiation process. Primitive mantle-normalized multi-element diagrams display enrichment in LILE, such as Rb, Ba, Th, U, and Sr compared to HFSE, as well as negative anomalies of Nb, Ta, P, and Ti, suggesting derivation from subduction-modified mantle. Chondrite-normalized REE plots show moderately LREE enriched patterns (<3.83 La_N/Yb_N <8.27), and no significant Eu anomalies. Geochemical modelling using Sm/Yb versus La/Yb and La/Sm ratios suggests a low-degree of batch melting (~1–3%) of a phlogopite-spinel peridotite source to generate the mafic dikes. The geochemical signatures suggest that the Roshtkhar mafic dikes cannot be related directly to subduction and likely resulted from melting of upper mantle in an extensional setting where the heat flow was provided from deeper levels. These dikes presumably derived the zircon xenocrysts from the assimilation of upper crust of Gondwanian basement. Processes responsible for partial melting of metasomatized lithospheric mantle and post-collision magmatism in NE Iran was triggered by heating due to asthenospheric upwelling in an extensional setting.

Geochemical constraints on the late-stage evolution of basaltic magma as revealed by composite dikes within the Kangâmiut dike swarm, West Greenland

The Kangâmiut dike swarm in West Greenland contains numerous composite dikes with mafic margins and andesitic centers. Internal chilled margins show that the andesitic centers intruded into the middle of the mafic dikes. Major element systematics indicate that the fractionation of olivine, clinopyroxene, plagioclase and Fe–Ti oxides drove the evolution of the Kangâmiut parental magma during its transition from mafic to andesitic compositions. Incompatible trace elements show a marked relative decrease in middle and heavy rare-earth elements (REE) between the mafic margins and the andesitic centers. The decrease in the REE is not explicable by olivine, clinopyroxene, plagioclase and Fe–Ti oxide fractionation or by the fractionation of the accessory phases apatite, zircon or garnet. Rb–Sr and Sm–Nd isotopes from margin and center pairs from these composite dikes are nearly identical indicating that crustal contamination had little to no affect on their evolution. Trace element modeling utilizing the mixing of evolved Kangâmiut magmas and low degree melts derived from partial melting of garnet lherzolite produce excellent fits with the trace element patterns for the andesitic centers. These models suggest that the late-stage evolution of the Kangâmiut dikes included input of mantle melts produced during the end stages of rifting.     

Early Middle Triassic mafic dikes from the Baoshan subterrane,western Yunnan: implications for the tectonic evolution of the Palaeo-Tethys in Southeast Asia

The time of final closure of the Palaeo-Tethys and the Sibumasu-Indochina collision in Southeast Asia represents a major unresolved geologic problem. Here, we present zircon chronology, whole-rock elemental, Sr–Nd, and zircon Hf isotopic geochemistry for newly discovered mafic dikes from the northern segment of the Sibumasu terrane, to provide constraints on this issue. Zircon U–Pb data indicate that the dikes were emplaced at 240 ± 3 Ma. These are the earliest Mesozoic magmatic rocks reported so far in the Sibumasu terrane, the late Palaeozoic passive margin of the Palaeo-Tethys. They are subalkaline tholeiites, showing geochemical characteristics similar to those of enriched mid-ocean ridge basalts (E-MORBs). They have ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr(t) ratios of 0.703161–0.703826, ?Nd(t) of +4.8 to +7.5, and zircon ?Hf(t) of +9.2 to +13.3, implying strong mantle depletion. They were derived by partial melting of asthenospheric mantle and underwent subsequent fractional crystallization and lithospheric assimilation. The geologic–petrologic evidence suggests that the mafic dikes were generated in a collisional setting, when suturing of the Baoshan and Simao subterranes (the two subterranes are part of the Sibumasu and Indochina terranes, respectively) occurred. These early Middle Triassic mafic dikes provide an upper limit for Sibumasu–Indochina collision. In conjunction with previous work, we conclude that the final closure of the Palaeo-Tethys and collision of the Sibumasu and Indochina terranes took place during the late Permian to Early Triassic.     

Isotope geochemistry of the mafic dikes from the Vazante nonsulfide zinc deposit, Brazil

The Vazante Group, located in the northwestern part of Minas Gerais, hosts the most important zinc mine in Brazil, the Vazante Mine, which represents a major known example of a hypogene nonsulfide zinc deposit. The main zinc ore is represented by willemite and differs substantially from other deposits of the Vazante-Paracatu region, which are sulfide-dominated zinc-lead ore. The age of the Vazante Group and the hosted mineralization is disputable. Metamorphosed mafic dikes (metabasites) that cut the metasedimentary sequence and are affected by hydrothermal processes recently were found and may shed light on the geochronology of this important geological unit. Zircon crystals recovered from the metabasites are xenocrystic grains that yield U–Pb conventional ages ranging from 2.1 to 2.4 Ga, so the basement of the Vazante Group is Paleoproterozoic or has metasedimentary rocks whose source area was Paleoproterozoic. Pb isotopes determined for titanite separated from the metabasites have common, nonradiogenic Pb compositions, which prevents determination of their crystallization age. However, the Pb signatures observed for the titanite crystals are in agreement with those determined for galena from the carbonate-hosted Zn–Pb deposits hosted by the Vazante Group, including galena from minor sulfide ore bodies of the Vazante deposit. These similarities suggest that the metalliferous fluids that affected the metabasites may have been those responsible for galena formation, which could imply a similar lead source for both nonsulfide and sulfide zinc deposits in the Vazante–Paracatu district. This common source could be related to deep-seated, basin-derived, metalliferous fluids associated with a long-lived hydrothermal system related to diagenesis and deformation of the Vazante Group during the Neoproterozoic.
