Reconstruction of paleo-redox conditions and early sulfur cycling during deposition of the Cryogenian Datangpo Formation in South China

In South China, the Datangpo black shales (663 Ma–654.5 Ma) were deposited during the Cryognian interglacial time between the Sturtian and Marinoan glaciations. Multi-geochemical proxies, including different iron speciation and relevant ratios (Fe_HR/Fe_T, Fe_P/Fe_HR and Fe_T/Al ratios) and molybdenum concentrations, were used to reconstruct the paleo-depositional environment of this black shale horizon. The ratios of different iron species (Fe_HR/Fe_T > 0.38 and Fe_P/Fe_HR < 0.80) suggest an overall anoxic conditions (ferruginous) over the deposition of the black shales, although intermittent euxinic (Fe_HR/Fe_T > 0.38 and Fe_P/Fe_HR ≈ 0.80) and oxic (Fe_HR/Fe_T < 0.38) intervals could have occurred. Furthermore, Fe_T/Al ratios (Fe_T/Al ≤ 0.51) confirm that water column may not be persistent euxinia during the deposition of the Datangpo black shales. Meanwhile, molybdenum concentrations show a decreasing trend towards the top of the black shales, reconciling the gradual oxygenating trend during this period as stated above. Compared to δ³⁴S_Py values in the Mesoproterozoic deep ocean, more positive δ³⁴S_Py values of this study may result from a small size of sulfate reservoir. The small-size sulfate reservoir and concurrent enrichment of molybdenum indicate that the ocean chemistry in the Cryogenian Period is similar to that in the Archean Eon.     

δ31Corg perturbations preserved by the interglacial Datangpo Formation in South China with implications for stratigraphic correlation and carbon cycle

Palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions of the Cryogenian Period have attracted attention in relation to the debated “Snowball Earth ” hypothesis and the early evolution of metazoan life. The carbon cycle and redox conditions of the Sturtian-Marinoan non-glacial interval have been subjected to much controversy in the past decades because of the lack of a high-resolution stratigraphic correlation scheme. As one of the typical Sturtian-Marinoan interglacial deposits, the Datangpo Fo...     

草莓状黄铁矿的形成机制探讨及其对古氧化-还原环境的反演

【研究目的】草莓状黄铁矿广泛存在于现代沉积物和沉积岩中,其成因机制总体上分为有机成因和无机成因两种,尽管两种机制均有理论与实验的支撑,但尚未建立一种具有普遍意义的形成机制。【研究方法】本文对目前草莓状黄铁矿的形成机理、氧化还原环境的应用及后期环境变化的影响进行了系统的综合研究。【研究结果】不同氧化-还原环境下形成的草莓状黄铁矿在粒径、形态以及硫同位素之间均存在较大的差异,可做为反演古氧化-还原环境的指标。草莓状黄铁矿的微晶尽管与粒径具有一定的正相关性,但是两者在形态演化序列、生长模式、聚集因素等方面与古氧化-还原环境的关系尚不清楚。仅凭草莓状黄铁矿粒径与铬还原法测定的硫同位素反演古氧化-还原环境存在一定的局限性,需要其他指标综合判定,尚需进一步开展草莓状黄铁矿原位硫同位素值与粒径对古氧化-还原环境反演的研究。后期氧化可使草莓状黄铁矿表面化学成分发生变化,但粒径分布依然具有古氧化-还原环境的指示意义。【结论】草莓状黄铁矿的实验模拟、理论体系和多学科交叉的研究中仍存在一些问题,尚需进一步研究。     

Stratigraphic Framework of the Cryogenian in China

The Cryogenian is a critical period in the history of the Earth. It is marked by multiple extreme climate changes that caused alternating global glacial and interglacial intervals. These dramatically changed the sedimentary system, and metal ores and source rocks distributed widely during this period. Therefore, studying the Cryogenian stratigraphic framework and sedimentary basins is important to improve the stratigraphic resolution for metal mineral and hydrocarbon prospecting and exploration ...     

Iron-Molybdenum Isotopes and the Chemical Evolution of Ancient-Oceans

Iron(Fe) is abundant in nature while molybdenum(Mo) is the most abundant transition metal in seawater. Due to their high sensitivity to the redox state of the environment, the isotopic compositions of Fe and Mo as well as variations have been widely used to probe the redox conditions and the evolution of ancient ocean chemistry in favor of improved analytical techniques. Here, we summarized isotopic fractionation mechanisms and natural distribution of both iron and molybdenum isotopes, and further we summarized and partially reinterpreted the redox evolution of ancient oceans through time based on available Fe-Mo data compiled in this study. The process that causes the largest iron isotope fractionation is redox reaction and the iron in oxidation state is generally enriched in ⁵⁶Fe. Biotic and abiotic pyrite formations also produce a large Fe isotope fractionations. Isotopic fractionation of molybdenum in seawater is mainly caused by the adsorption process of dissolved Mo onto ferromanganese oxides or hydroxides in sediments. Fe-Mn (hydro)oxides tend to adsorb isotopically light molybdenum resulting in the isotopic composition of Mo in seawater heavier. However, the Mo sinks in euxinic settings cause almost no molybdenum isotope fractionation. The Fe Mo isotope isotopic records through geological timegenerally suggest similar ocean redox evolution: Oceans older than 2.3 Ga was mainly dominated by ferruginous condition, and there was a slight increase in oxygen content between 2.6 and 2.5 Ga. Earth’s surface was initially oxidized during 2.3 to 1.8 Ga, during which euxinic deposition of sulfide was elevated. Euxinic waters may have expanded greatly between 1.8 and 0.8 Ga, and after that, Earth’s surface had being gradually oxidized and the euxinic waters shrank substantially.Finally, suggestions are proposed for further work on the Fe-Mo isotope research in the context of ancient ocean chemistry.     

华南扬子陆块成冰纪冰川作用的启动时限及其全球对比*

江口冰期和南沱冰期是华南地区引人注目的2次成冰纪冰川事件,但其确切启动时间及其全球对比关系仍未有定论。为此,对桂北地区成冰系(南华系)长安组底部和南沱组底部冰成杂砾岩开展了碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学研究。长安组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄集中分布于958—717 Ma,显著峰值为720、753、805及848 Ma,最年轻一组 ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U 年龄的加权平均值为719.6±6.1 Ma,可解释为长安组最大沉积年龄;南沱组碎屑锆石U-Pb 年龄集中分布于987—649 Ma,显著峰值为650、720、753、779、803、823及848 Ma,最年轻一组 ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U 年龄的加权平均值为649.3±6.2 Ma,可解释为南沱组最大沉积年龄。结合已发表的相关年龄数据可知,江口冰期很可能启动于ca.715 Ma,与塔里木、阿拉伯—努比亚、劳伦等陆块的Sturtian冰川作用高度同步;南沱冰期的启动应晚于650 Ma,与西伯利亚、澳大利亚、劳伦等陆块的Marinoan冰川作用基本同步。另外,碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱与CL图像显示,长安组和南沱组的物质来源主要为下伏新元古界岩浆—沉积记录,揭示出冰川对下伏地层的强烈刨蚀作用和华南新元古代幕式构造岩浆热事件。扬子陆块成冰纪冰川刨蚀作用可能与Rodinia 超大陆“裂离”有关的强烈伸展活动存在联系,并可能持续至Marinoan 冰期结束。     

扬子地台灯影组碳酸盐岩中的硫和碳同位素记录

扬子地区灯影组的海相碳酸盐岩地层不仅记录了当时海水的碳同位素变化，也保存了海水的硫同位素记录，能够通过测定所提取的微量硫酸盐的硫同位素组成来获得。灯影组碳酸盐岩中微量硫酸盐的δ^34S值大部分在 20.0‰～ 38．7‰之间变化，碳酸盐岩的δ^13C值变化在 0．5‰～ 5．0‰之间。除灯影组顶、底界线处外，δ^34S和δ^13C值总体上变化幅度较小，大体上呈逐渐降低的变化趋势。灯影组碳酸盐岩中连续的硫、碳同位素记录分别反映了同期海水中溶解硫酸盐和碳酸盐的硫、碳同位素的变化特征。灯影组微量硫酸盐和碳酸盐岩的同位素特征，意味着灯影期海洋中具有高的生物产率和有机碳埋藏速率；除了顶底界线处，具有相对稳定的古气候条件和古海洋环境。灯影期海水的δ^34S值和δ^13C值同时呈逐渐降低的变化趋势，可能是由海洋深部水体逐渐氧化所致。     

我国酸沉降地区硫源的硫同位素组成研究

我国同世界大部分地区的酸雨类型一致,均为典型的硫酸型酸雨,因此硫同位素组成是示踪酸雨来源的重要手段。在前人研究的基础上,对酸雨硫同位素组成研究的思路和实验方法进行综述,重点介绍燃煤过程中硫同位素的分馏效应和大气SO2、气溶胶、大气降水、苔藓和小麦等植物中的硫同位素组成等,对环境地球化学的研究具有重要意义。     

Paleomagnetism of the late Cryogenian Nantuo Formation and paleogeographic implications for the South China Block

A new paleomagnetic pole position is obtained from the well-dated (636.3 ± 4.9 Ma) Nantuo Formation in the Guzhang section, western Hunan Province, and the correlative Long’e section in eastern Guizhou Province, South China. Remagnetization of the recent geomagnetic field was identified and removed for both sections. The hard dual-polarity, interpreted as primary, component of the Nantuo Formation, directs east–westward with medium inclinations, yielding an average pole of 9.3°N, 165°E, A₉₅ = 4.3° that, for the first time, passed a strata-bound reversals test. The new data are consistent with previously published paleomagnetic data of the Nantuo Formation from Malong county, central Yunnan Province, which passed a positive syn-sedimentary fold test. Together, these sites represent shallow- to deep-water sections across a shelf-to-basin transect centered at ∼33° paleolatitude. The sedimentary basin may have faced an expansive ocean toward the paleo-East. In the ∼750 Ma and ∼635 Ma global reconstructions, the South China Block (SCB) was best fitted in the northern hemisphere close to northwestern Australia. However, a direct SCB-northwestern Australia connection, inferred to have existed during the Early Cambrian–Early Devonian, had not formed by the time of ∼635 Ma.     

扬子克拉通西北缘成冰系冰川沉积特征和地层格架

扬子克拉通西北缘成冰系沉积学研究相对较少,大巴山城口地区更为薄弱,特别是成冰系木座组/明月组和代安河组是否存在冰川沉积缺乏详细的沉积学解释,制约了对扬子克拉通成冰纪沉积演化过程的理解,也不利于该时期地层格架的厘定和区域对比。本文选择城口地区四个典型成冰系剖面开展精细地层学和沉积学解剖,识别出了发育冰川擦痕砾石、坠石和冰下软沉积变形等冰川沉积标志,证明代安河组和木座组/明月组为冰川成因,并划分出陆相冰川、冰缘和海相冰川等沉积相类型。进而依据岩石组合、沉积特征、上下地层结构、地化指标(如化学蚀变指数等)和碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄等特征将代安河组二分,一段对比古城组,二段对比大塘坡组,木座组/明月组对比南沱组。在此基础上开展了区域对比,重新厘定扬子克拉通西北缘成冰系的地层格架,认为其可与相邻神农架以及扬子克拉通东南缘对比。恢复了城口—神农架地区成冰系沉积演化过程：斯图特冰期发育着由冰海至陆地再至冰海的冰川进退旋回,随后间冰期的广泛海侵形成了碳质粉砂质泥岩为代表的潟湖环境;随着全球气温再次下降引发马雷诺冰期,经历了多次从冰海近缘至冰海远缘的冰川沉积动态演化过程,并伴随有冰盖打开最终至成冰纪结束。研...     

上扬子地块早震旦世大塘坡期锰矿成因和沉积学

晋宁运动以后的上扬子地块,在早震旦世为陆内拉张阶段。其西缘有火山喷发,而其东南边缘为拉张裂谷带,沿黔东、湘西形成北东向的地堑盆地、沉积了黑色炭质页岩、锰矿和硅质岩。锰矿层由枕状富锰矿体和粒序层状、层纹状锰矿体组成,具有皮壳和胶状结构,并由菌藻团粒、团块、硅质放射虫以及粘土等悬浮沉积物组成层纹和显微粒序。其结构和构造特征显示锰质由海底热水补给,经化学、生物化学作用,沉积在低能深水还原环境中。     

Geochemical Characteristics and Genetic Significance of Datangpo‐Type Manganese Ore Deposits during the Cryogenian Period

The Datangpo‐type manganese ore deposits, which formed during the Nanhuan (Cryogenian) period and are located in northeastern Guizhou and adjacent areas, are one of the most important manganese resources in China, showing good prospecting potential. Many middle‐to‐large deposits, and even super‐large mineral deposits, have been discovered. However, the genesis of manganese ore deposits is still controversial and remains a long‐standing source of debate; there are several viewpoints including biogenesis, hydrothermal sedimentation, gravity flows, cold‐spring carbonates, etc. Geochemical data from several manganese ore deposits show that there are positive correlations between Al₂O₃ and TiO₂, SiO₂, K₂O, and Na₂O, and strong negative correlations between Al₂O₃ and CaO, MgO, and MnO in black shales and manganese ores. U, Mo, and V show distinct enrichment in black shales and inconspicuous enrichment in Mn ores. Ba and Rb show strong positive correlations with K₂O in manganese ores. Cu, Ni, and Zn show clear correlations with total iron in both manganese ores and black shales. ∑REE of manganese ores has a large range with evident positive Ce anomalies and positive Eu anomalies. The Post Archean Australian Shale (PAAS) normalized rare earth element (REE) distribution patterns of manganese ores present pronounced middle rare earth element (MREE) enrichment, producing “hat‐shaped” REE plots. ∑REE of black shales is more variable compared with PAAS, and the PAAS‐normalized REE distribution patterns appear as “flat‐shaped” REE plots, lacking evident anomaly characteristics. δ¹³C values of carbonate in both manganese ores and the black shales show observable negative excursions. The comprehensive analysis suggests that the black shales formed in a reducing and quiet water column, while the manganese ores formed in oxic muddy seawater, which resulted from periodic transgressions. There was an oxidation–reduction cycle of manganese between the top water body and the bottom water body caused by the transgressions during the early Datangpo, which resulted in the dissolution of manganese. Through the exchange of the euphotic zone water and the bottom water, and episodic inflow of oxygenated water, the manganese in the bottom water was oxidized to Mn‐oxyhydroxides and rapidly buried along with algae. In the early diagenetic stage, Mn‐oxyhydroxides were reduced and dissolved in the anoxic pore water and then transformed into Mn‐carbonates by reacting with HCO₃^? from the degradation of organic matter or from seawater. In the intervals between transgressions, continuous supplies of terrigenous clastics and the high productive rates of organic matter in the euphotic zone resulted in the deposition of the black shales enriched in organic matter.     

湘东北正冲金矿床成矿物质来源的S-Pb同位素示踪

长沙-平江(长-平)成矿带位于江南造山带中段,金资源储量达250余吨。该区金矿床是典型的沉积变质岩容矿的热液脉状金矿床,构造控矿特征清晰,然而巨量金来源与矿床成因尚不明确。正冲金矿床主体赋存于新元古代变质沉积岩中,矿区内同时发育少量花岗岩体,是识别不同地质体对成矿贡献的理想选择。因此,本文选取正冲金矿床,在野外宏观地质工作基础上,系统开展了成矿阶段划分与载金硫化物同位素地球化学测试等工作。正冲金矿床严格受控于NNE-NE向的长-平断裂及其次级断裂系统,矿体呈脉状,走向NW或NNE,蚀变分带不明显。正冲金矿床矿物组合简单:早阶段发育有乳白色贫矿石英与白云母;成矿主阶段为石英细脉与自然金黄铁矿毒砂-多金属硫化物-少量绿泥石;成矿晚阶段发育有石英-方解石脉。其中,黄铁矿与毒砂是矿床内自然金与不可见金重要的载体。为弱化毒砂和黄铁矿裂隙中细粒多金属硫化物对同位素地球化学结果的干扰,本次研究挑选自形、未变形的毒砂、黄铁矿颗粒测试研究。实验结果表明载金毒砂铅同位素组成~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb、~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb与~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb分别为37.867～38.285、15.555～15.663与17.743-18.073,略高于黄铁矿铅同位素组成37.774～38.268、15.547～15.660与17.670～18.021;毒砂δ~(34)S变化幅度较小(-4.7‰～-0.9‰,均值为-3.0%),略高于黄铁矿δ~(34)S值(-9.1‰～-1.1‰,均值为-4.4‰),成矿流体氧逸度约为10~(-30.7)。正冲金矿床硫、铅同位素组成与赋矿围岩、区域内岩体和斑岩型矿床同位素特征具有较大差异,说明区内岩体与赋矿地层并不是正冲金矿床成矿物质的主要来源。金矿床成矿物质具有深源特征,可能来源于比冷家溪群地层变质程度更高、沉积位置更深的变质沉积岩。结合区域地质背景、金矿床地质-地球化学特征与成矿年代学资料,推断正冲金矿床为造山型金矿床。     

黔西北地区铅锌矿床流体包裹体与硫同位素地球化学研究

黔西北铅锌成矿区位于扬子地块西南缘,矿床产于不同时代的碳酸盐岩建造中,其矿物组合和热液蚀变特征类似于MVT型铅锌矿床。本文通过对该区部分铅锌矿床的矿石显微岩相学结构、矿物学与地球化学、脉石矿物和闪锌矿中流体包裹体岩相学与显微测温学以及硫同位素地球化学等研究,确定了该类型矿床成矿流体的性质及其成矿过程。结果表明,黔西北地区不同赋矿层位铅锌矿床具有相似的成矿流体特征,为中低温(160~260℃)、较高盐度(10%~22%NaCleqv)、含有低密度的CO_2、CH_4和N_2的卤水,不同于MVT型铅锌矿床成矿流体特征;硫同位素地球化学研究揭示,这些铅锌矿床硫化物的δ~(34)S范围均落在对应赋矿地层时代蒸发岩中的硫酸盐和生物成因硫化物的δ~(34)S演化曲线上或其附近,表明这些铅锌矿床硫化物中的S可能主要来源于对应地层本身。结合地球化学热力学分析,认为Pb、Zn等成矿元素的Cl络合物是成矿元素的主要搬运形式,富含Pb、Zn的成矿流体与赋矿地层中富含H_2S还原性流体的混合是铅锌富集成矿的重要机制之一。     

黔南坳陷油苗来源:碳、硫同位素及生物标志物证据

为明确黔南坳陷不同层位油苗来源,在广泛采集不同层位烃源岩、油苗样品的基础上,采用GC、GC-MS及GC-IRMS等方法对其碳、硫同位素及生物标志物特征进行系统分析,进而开展了油源对比.结果表明:油苗的δ13C值为-33.04‰～-31.63‰,平均-32.26‰(n=18);δ34S值为+16.06‰～+23.06‰,平均+18.99‰(n=4);油苗遭受不同程度生物降解,常规甾、萜烷面貌特征差异较大,但普遍含有较丰富的三环萜烷、伽玛蜡烷、三芳甾烷、芳基类异戊二烯烃、惹烯和硫芴;C25三环萜烷/C24四环萜烷值、二苯并噻吩/菲与Pr/Ph相关图表明油苗为典型海相原油;Ts/(Ts +Tm)、C29甾烷20S/(20S+ 20R)及甲基菲指数等均表明油苗为成熟-高熟原油.研究区下寒武统牛蹄塘组黑色泥岩干酪根δ13C值为-35.79‰～-29.88‰,平均-32.85‰(n=35),与油苗相关性良好,而泥盆系、石炭系和二叠系烃源岩δ13C值显著偏重,均大于-29‰;下寒武统牛蹄塘组黑色泥岩干酪根δ34S值为+ 14.78‰～+ 17.60‰,平均+16.32‰(n=4),与油苗具有很好的可比性,而下、中泥盆统黑色泥岩干酪根δ34S值分别为-9.10‰～-6.78‰和+0.63‰～ +7.93‰,二叠系煤系地层有机质δ34S值为-7.40‰～+4.00‰,均显著偏轻.此外,下寒武统黑色泥岩普遍含有较丰富的伽玛蜡烷、三芳甾烷、芳基类异戊二烯烃和惹烯,三芴系列中硫芴含量极高,其它几套黑色泥岩则不合或贫含三芳甾烷和惹烯,伽玛蜡烷和硫芴含量亦较低.综合认为油苗具相同来源,且均与研究区下寒武统黑色泥岩具有较好亲缘关系.     

中上扬子地区震旦纪末期古海洋环境研究的若干问题

本文通过调研大量文献,系统梳理了前人关于中上扬子地区震旦纪灯影期古海洋环境特征的研究方法和主要认识,特别是关于古海水的氧化还原条件、古温度和古盐度等3个要素。结果表明,震旦纪灯影组沉积时期,中上扬子地区的古海洋是一个水深较浅、并逐渐趋于氧化的浅海水体环境;古海水温度为7.0 ℃～38.6 ℃,且在灯影组晚期升高,主要为亚热带气候;海水盐度较新元古代早期有降低的趋势,但仍为海相环境,且灯影组二段和灯影组四段时期盐度相对更大。震旦纪灯影组沉积时期的古海洋环境在地质演化历史中具有重要的时空意义,能够为解释当时地球的气候条件和生物演化等方面的重大变化提供依据。现阶段研究中的问题包括：1）缺乏同时期古海洋氧化还原环境的区域对比;2）古海水绝对深度的研究十分薄弱;3）缺乏古海水盐度的直接指示依据。建议开展高分辨率古环境指示参数垂向序列和多剖面横向对比的研究,尝试定量分析氧气浓度随古海水绝对深度的变化规律,探索指示古海水盐度的直接依据。     

云南保山西邑铅锌矿床硫铅同位素地球化学特征研究

西邑铅锌矿位于保山地块中北部,矿体定位受下石炭统香山组地层和矿区断裂控制,具有层控特征。硫同位素研究表明,西邑铅锌矿床中硫化物的δ34S值的区间为-2.4‰~+2.3‰,它们与地层中的重晶石的δ34S的值相差约15‰。分析表明,西邑铅锌矿床的硫化物的硫源主要来自地层中的重晶石,它们通过有机质的热分解反应还原为沉淀硫化物所必需的低价硫。矿石铅的铅同位素为206Pb/204Pb=18.547~19.044,207Pb/204Pb=15.608~15.661,208Pb/204Pb=38.541~38.880,显示铀铅富集、钍铅微弱亏损;矿石铅μ值介于于9.46~9.53之间,ω值的范围为35.48~36.79,显示铅源的物质成熟度高,具有上地壳或沉积物的特点。无论是矿床地质特征、还是同位素地球化学特征,均指示夹杂沉积硫酸盐的碳酸盐(含生物碎屑)沉积建造是最为理想的物源,矿床类型为沉积-热液型。     

Submarine hydrothermal contribution for the extreme element accumulation during the early Cambrian,South China

Throughout the geological history of the Earth, submarine hydrothermal activity has played an important role in seawater chemistry, biological evolution and enrichment of metals in the Earth crust. However, the prospect of hydrothermal activity for extreme element accumulation during the early Cambrian, a key geological period, in South China has not been well-constrained. This study reports geochemical (e.g. REE and Sr isotope) investigations of a coarse-grained limestone layer and associated calcite veins in Zunyi and Nayong areas, Guizhou Province, to constrain the hydrothermal activity and evaluate the significance of hydrothermal contribution to extreme element accumulation during the early Cambrian, South China. Our results reveal positive Eu anomalies and higher initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios (0.7083–0.7150) for carbonate samples than those of early Cambrian seawater, indicating the presence of hydrothermal processes. Combined with constraints from the spatial relationships and coincidence with adjacent mineralization, these hydrothermal processes provide the most probable contribution for polymetallic Ni–Mo–PGE mineralization. Furthermore, there are abundant hydrothermal dolomite and barite-calcite veins in the dolostone of the Dengying Formation, indicating the occurrence of a variety of hydrothermal fluids. Overall, multi-stage hydrothermal pulses with different fluid compositions spanned the Ediacaran–Cambrian transition in South China. In particular, these hydrothermal fluids with positive Eu anomalies and enriched radiogenic Sr, originating from Proterozoic mafic/ultramafic rocks, may have flowed through the underlying Precambrian silicate clastic rocks (e.g., Xiajiang, Banxi and Lengjiaxi Groups) and may have been crucial for the marine environment, biological diversity and extreme element accumulation during the early Cambrian, South China.     

南海西部中建南盆地油气地质条件和勘探前景分析

中建南盆地位于南海西部陆架—陆坡区,承接了南海北部陆坡和南沙海域构造域的地质特点,并受到南海西缘大断裂的控制,地质构造十分复杂。研究表明,中建南盆地新生代陆相、过渡相、海相各种沉积体系发育;具备有利于烃源岩发育的沼泽、泻湖、浅湖(海)—半深湖(海)、半深湖(海)—深湖(海)环境;地温梯度中—高,有利于干酪根成熟;河流、扇体、三角洲砂体和风化基岩、碳酸盐岩储层发育。受太平洋板块、印度—澳大利亚板块与欧亚板块之间相互作用产生的全球地球动力体系联合作用控制,以及南海海底扩张运动产生的区域性应力影响,盆地演化过程具有多旋回发育的特点,导致发育多套良好的生储盖组合、断裂体系和多种类型圈闭。以上各种地质要素为盆地含油气系统提供了良好的物质条件和储存空间。同时盆地具有明显油气显示。据国内外地震勘探资料,发现在盆地西北隆起带及盆地中部、南部等多处地方都有气显示,同时中国地质科学院矿产资源研究所吴必豪等在该区海底表层柱状样品中先后发现了碎块状沥青,断面新鲜,经荧光显微镜鉴定为油脂沥青,证明中建南盆地具有油气生成的潜力。因此,中建南盆地具有良好的油气远景,具备较高的油气勘探价值。     

胶西北新城金矿床硫同位素地球化学

新城金矿床是胶西北金矿集区中典型的破碎带蚀变岩型金矿床,其热液成矿作用可划分为四个阶段:黄铁矿-石英-绢云母阶段(I)、石英-黄铁矿阶段(II)、石英-多金属硫化物阶段(III)和石英-方解石阶段(IV),其中金主要赋存于II和III阶段的黄铁矿内。该矿床赋矿围岩为郭家岭岩体,岩性为石英二长岩和二长花岗岩,主要为胶东群变质基底经部分熔融形成。胶东群变粒岩硫同位素较为均一(δ34S值介于6.9‰~9.4‰,均值为8.0‰);郭家岭岩体的δ34S值介于6.0‰~16.0‰,均值为8.6‰,反映了其硫同位素组成总体上继承了变粒岩的硫同位素特征;长英质脉岩的δ34S值变化范围为0.8‰~8.5‰(均值为6.7‰),其中4件样品的δ34S值变化范围为7.4‰~8.5‰,反映了其硫主要源自于郭家岭岩体,变粒岩可能提供了部分硫源;而其中1件样品的δ34S值仅为0.8‰,符合岩浆硫来源特征,表明深部岩浆可能也提供了部分硫源。新城金矿床矿石中硫化物δ34S值变化范围较大(4.3‰~10.6‰,均值为8.3‰),表明矿石硫可能源于郭家岭岩体、变粒岩和长英质脉岩,最终主要来源于胶东群变质基底。I阶段黄铁矿颗粒较小(5~600μm),晶形主要为立方体,反映其处于温度较高(300~350℃)、成矿流体的过饱和度较低、低氧逸度和硫逸度、冷却快速、物质供应不足的成矿环境;黄铁矿δ34S值变化范围为8.4‰~10.6‰,均值为9.7‰,反映了矿石硫可能源自于δ34S值较高的郭家岭岩体和变粒岩。II和III阶段黄铁矿粒径变化较大(3μm~2.5mm),晶形主要为五角十二面体,反映其处于中-低温度(200~300℃)、成矿流体过饱和度高、高氧逸度和硫逸度、缓慢冷却同时物质供应充分的成矿环境。其中,II阶段黄铁矿δ34S值变化范围为7.7‰~9.7‰,均值为8.7‰,表明矿石硫源除郭家岭岩体和变粒岩外,δ34S值较低的长英质脉岩可能也提供了部分硫源。III阶段硫化物δ34S值变化范围较大(4.3‰~9.4‰,均值为7.1‰),闪锌矿-方铅矿硫同位素热力学平衡温度范围为180~282℃,氧逸度约为10-37.3~10-36.8,反映了矿石硫源自于郭家岭岩体、变粒岩和长英质脉岩,硫化物δ34S值变化范围较大可能是硫同位素分馏达到平衡的结果。IV阶段黄铁矿粒径最小(1~5μm),为晶形完好、表面光滑的立方体晶形,表明其处于较低温度(200℃),成矿流体的过饱和度较低、氧逸度和硫逸度较低、物质供应不足的成矿环境。
