Zircon SHRIMP Dating for the Weiya Pluton, Eastern Tianshan: Its Geological Implications

1 Introduction Voluminous literature has resulted from study of the geology and tectonic evironments of post-orogenic granitoids in eastern Tianshan (He et al., 1995; Han et al., 1997; Gu et al., 1999, 2001; Li et al., 2003; Chen et al., 2004). Previous contributions (Hu et al., 1997; Li et al., 2003) indicate that major events of continental collision in northern Xinjiang occurred around 300 Ma. Then, the tectonics converted from compression to extension, resulting in the uplifting of th…     

Separation of nano-colloids in soils

The study of the physicochemical behaviour of colloids and particles in nature has emerged as a scientific problem of critical importance because of the widespread acknowledgement of their significance in controlling the speciation and fate of essential nutrients and contaminants in the aquatic and soil environments （Ledin et al., 1995; Lead et al., 1999, Doucet et al., 200 l; McCarthy et al., 1989; Koterba et al., 1993; Kretzschmar et al., 1999）. Se＇quaris and Lewandowski （2003） developed a method based on sedimentation and centrifugation steps to fractionate agricultural top soils after suspension in water. However, progress in the field has been limited by the lack of appropriate techniques for the isolation and characterization of colloids and particles in their native form （Lead et al., 1997）. The primary difficulties in separation and analysis are colloidal instability and their small size and low concentration. As a result, reliable, unbiased and minimally perturbing methods for sampling and fractionation are primary requirements for the study of colloids and particles if valuable information is to be obtained. In recent years, cross-flow ultra-filtration （CFUF） has become one of the most commonly used techniques for collecting and separating freshwater and marine colloids and particles （Petrus evski et al., 1995; Gustafsson et al., 1999; Benoit et al., 1999; Sigg et al., 2000; Gue＇guen et al., 2002; Benedetti et al., 2003）. CFUF has hitherto been used for studies of the biogeochemical cycling of a variety of elements, such as carbon （Benner et al., 1992; Santschi et al., 1998）, radionuclides （Moran et al., 1992）, trace metals （Reitmeyer et al., 1996） and nutrients （Bauer et al., 1996）. The purpose of this study was to develop a protocol to fractionate particles in soil, to measure particle size distributions and to quantify chemical characteristics within different particle size fractions.     

New Discovery of Ca. 38 Ma Ultramafic–mafic Dyke Swarms in the Mitizi Area, Northwestern Tibetan Plateau

正Objective The Tibetan Plateau, located in the eastern part of the Alpine Himalayan tectonic domain, is the youngest and the most spectacular of all continent-continent collisional belts in the world(Zhang et al., 2007; Xu et al., 2011; Zhu et al., 2012).     

Ophiolites and Intra-Oceanic Island Arc Assemblages of Eastern Australia, New Caledonia and New Zealand

Throughout the Phanerozoic the eastern margin of Gondwana and related fragments such as New Caledonia and New Zealand that are now dispersed from it grew through the addition of ophiolites and associated intra-oceanic island arc assemblages.Exactly how and why this occurred remains controversial with two main competingmodelsreferredtoaseither‘quantum’or‘accordion’tectonics.The quantum model envisages continental growth through the additional of discrete intra-oceanic assemblages analogous to contemporary tectonic settings in Taiwan,Timor and Papua New Guinea(Aitchison and Buckman,2012).The alternative regards eastern Australia as the type example of a different style of convergent plate margin referred to as an‘extensional accretionary orogeny’(Collins,2002).The oldest Phanerozoic ophiolites and intra-oceanic island arc assemblages are of Cambrian age and are widely reported from the Lachlan Fold Belt in the eastern Australian states of Victoria and NSW(Spaggiari et al.,2003;Greenfield et al.,2011).Similar rocks are also known from Mount Read in Tasmania(Berry and Crawford,1988;Crawford and Berry,1992;Mulder et al.,2016),the Weraerai terrane and its correlatives in the New England orogen further east in northeastern NSW(Aitchison et al.,1994;Aitchison and Ireland,1995)and Queensland,the Takaka terrane in NW Nelson,New Zealand(Münker and Cooper,1999)and the Bowers terrane in Northern Victoria Land,Antarctica(Weaver et al.,1984;Münker and Crawford,2000;Rocchi et al.,2011;Palmeri et al.,2012).The Late Ordovician saw the development of the intra-oceanic Macquarie island arc(Glen et al.,1998;Glen et al.,2007).This system contains important economic mineral deposits.The way in which these arcrocks developed and were juxtaposedagainst a surrounding suite of Lachlan Fold Belt,eastern Australia remains the subject of investigation(see Aitchison and Buckman,2012 for discussion).In a similar area,enigmatic rocks of the Tumut ophiolite also crop out(Graham et al.,1996;Belousova et al.,2015).Further to the east in the New England orogeny Siluro-Devonian rocks of the Gamilaroi terrane and it’s along strike correlatives near Mt Morgan in Queensland represent another intra-oceanic island arc assemblage emplaced onto the Gondwana margin in the Late Devonian(Aitchison and Flood,1994;Offler and Murray,2011).The Late Carboniferous-Permian saw development of significant intra-oceanic island arc and ophiolitic complexes remnants of which crop out in New Zealand,eastern Australia,and New Caledonia.These include the Brook Street terrane(Spandler et al.,2005;Mc Coy-West et al.,2014)and Dun Mountain Ophiolite Belt in New Zealand(Coombs et al.,1976;Stewart et al.,2016),the Gympie terrane in southeast Queensland(Waterhouse and Sivell,1987;Sivell and Waterhouse,1988)and the Koh terrane in New Caledonia(Meffre et al.,1996;Ali and Aitchison,2002).The youngest on-land association of ophiolitic and intra-oceanic island arc rocks in the region is of Eocene age.Ultramafic rocks are well exposed in New Caledonia where they structurally overlie continental rocks of Gondwana margin affinity that,in the northeast of the island,have experienced eclogite facies metamorphism(Aitchison et al.,1995).The emplacement of these rocks was a widespread regional event with potentially correlative rocks exposed in Papua New Guinea(Parrot and Dugas,1980)as well as Northland and East Cape in New Zealand(Whattam et al.,2005;Whattam et al.,2008).

太白双王含金水压角砾岩体形成过程和金矿体预测

陕西双王含金角砾岩体为水压角砾岩体，是深源富碱含金流体使泥盆系一套热水沉积的富钠质岩系发生水力压裂作用形成的。早期共轴递进挤压使能干性富钠质岩系与非能干性富泥质岩系发生变形分离，分别形成近等距分布的透镜状弱变形域与线性强变形带，其中，弱变形域中央是一个相对低温，低压，高渗透率的透镜状天然泵吸中心；晚期的右旋高角度斜冲非共轴递进剪切使弱变形域中央最发育的一组节理和裂隙由压性转变为张性，并沟通溶 部的裂隙系统，泵吸中心巨大的压力降使深部的承压流体在富钠质岩系中产生周期性的构造泵吸一水力压裂－沉淀愈合作用，根据分解变形构造型式预测的隐伏含金水压角砾岩体已获钻探初步验证。     

陕西双王含金角砾岩地质特征及成因初探

双王金矿含金角砾岩为水力压裂成因角砾岩。认为该水压角砾岩体是深源富碱含金流体在泥盆系一套热水沉积的富钠质岩系中发生水力压裂作用形成的。早期共轴递进挤压使能干性的富钠质岩系与非能干性的富泥质岩系发生构造透镜石香肠化；晚期的非共轴递进剪切使早期在透镜体中心形成的构造裂隙由剪性转化为张性，并产生巨大的压力降使深部的流体在富钠质岩系中沿裂隙发生水力压裂作用，从而形成双王水力压裂含金角砾岩。     

陕西双王金矿床角砾岩动力学成因探讨

双王金矿可拼性含金角砾岩是流体致裂角砾岩,而不是构造角砾岩或隐爆角砾岩。该区的深源异常高压流体是角砾岩产生的必要条件。角砾岩的动力学成因主要是区域变质作用、地壳隆升剥蚀作用和地下岩浆活动等形成异常高压流体,在重力、浮力和地热梯度的驱动下,在能干性强的岩石中产生裂隙,并向浅部增殖,被碳酸盐矿物等充填胶结。周而复始的流体压裂—沉淀愈合作用,使金多次富集,形成矿体。     

Geological characteristics and origin of the Hadamengou gold deposit in Inner Mongolia,China

The Hadamengou gold deposit is located in the western segment of the northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC). It is hosted by Archean metamorphic rocks of the Wulashan Group. The main ore types include gold-bearing quartz vein type, gold-bearing quartz-potassic feldspar vein type, and gold-bearing altered rock type. Gold mineralization is closely related to K-feldspathization. Hydrogen and oxygen isotope data indicate that ore-forming fluids were dominated by magmatic water mixed with minor meteoric water. Sulfur and lead isotope data indicate that metallogenic materials were mainly supplied by the magmatic and Archean Wulashan Group. The gold mineralization was mainly formed during the Early Indosinian tectonic movement, which drove ore-forming fluids to the favorable depositional environment. The northern margin of the NCC is a prospective area for gold exploration. Gold deposits hosted by or related to alkaline intrusions have become one of the most important mineral exploration targets in northern China.     

韧性剪切带型金矿三阶段构造成矿模式——以广东河台金矿床为例

基于对粤西河台韧性剪切带型金矿的构造解析,本文提出了韧性剪切带型金矿成矿的一种新构造模式,即:在大型韧性剪切带运动指向的前锋,当扩展弱化而出现分支糜棱岩带时,就会在韧性剪切带中出现由强变形带包绕的构造透镜体弱变形域。由于透镜体域中央岩石处于脆性环境,在变形分解过程中,强变形带中含金流体会通过岩石中的微破裂渗透到相对低压的弱变形构造透镜体域中央,并通过构造泵吸机制在其中产生周期性的液压致裂与裂开‒愈合,这为在韧性剪切阶段活动的金提供了一个理想的沉淀场所。上述构造机制很好地解释了河台金矿床中透镜状特富矿体的成因。河台含金韧性剪切带在韧性、韧‒脆性及脆性阶段在同位空间并列与叠加了不同类型金矿体,从早到晚分别形成细脉‒浸染型、石英脉型与破碎带蚀变岩型金矿体。河台韧性剪切带群为粤西深层次逆冲推覆构造前缘陡坡带的分支糜棱岩带,其韧性剪切阶段为左旋平‒逆剪切,韧‒脆性与脆性阶段转变为右旋平‒逆剪切,并依此讨论了金矿体的侧伏规律及隐伏矿体的预测方向。
