REE Geochemical Characteristics of Apatite,Sphene and Zircon from Alkaline Rocks

The accessory minerals apatite and sphene are the main carriers of REE in alkaline rocks.Their chondrite-normalized REE patterns decline sharply to the right as those of the host rocks,In the patterns an obvious negative Eu anomaly and a positive Ce anomaly can be seen in apatite and sphene,respectively.Zircon from alkaline rocks is different in REE pattern,I,e,. a nearly symmetric“V“-shaped pattern with a maximum negative Eu anomaly.Compared with the equivalents from granites,apatite,sphene and zircon from alkaline rocks are all characterized by higher (La/Yb)N ratio and less Eu depletion,As to the relative contents of REE in minerals,apatite,sphene and zircon are enriched in LREE,MREE and HREE respectively,depending on their crystallochemical properties.     

Geochemistry of Platinum Group Elements in Mafic—Ultramafic Rocks of Xinjie Intrusion

The platinum group elements(PGE)in the mafic-ultramafic suite in the Xinjie layered intrusion and associated basalts and syenites were analyzed using neutron activation techniques after fire-assay preconcentration.On this basis,the geochemistry of the platinum group during the magmatic stage is discussed.With respect to PGE distribution,the Xijie layered intrusion is similar to the Bushveld ferruginous ultramafic series and is distinct from komatiite and Alpine-type peridotite.It is also similar to the Emeishan basalt in PGE characteristics,implying that the original magmas of them may be of the same type.     

Geochemical Characteristics of Volcanic Rocks of the Laochang Ag Polymetallic Deposit,Lancang,Yunnan Province,China

In terms of major element, trace element and REE geochemical characteristics ofvolcanic rocks in the area studied and by making use of the TiO2-K2O-P2O5,The-Hf-Ta and Zr-Nb-Y trianglar diagrams and the environmental discrimination diagrams of incompatible ele-ment distribution pattems,the authors have drawn some conclusions that are different from those by previous workers.It is concluded that volcanic rocks in the Laochang Ag polymetallic deposit at Lancang,Yunnan belong to continental within-plate alkali basalts, and that their geotectonic setting seems to be at the northeastern margin of East Gondwana Land.     

Geochemical Features and Formation of the Auriferous Cherts in the Mojiang Gold Deposit,Yunnan

Auriferous cherts in the Middle Carboniferous Jinchang Formation are the dominant host rocks of auriferous quartz veins and mixed orebodies comprised of gold-bearing quartz veins and cherts in the Mojiang gold deposit.The rocks exhibit sedimentary texture and structure and are composed of hot-water deposited minerals.The FeO,Fe2O3,Au and Ag contents of the auriferous cherts are high;the Cr,Ni and Co contents are also high but significantly variable;MnO/TiO2 and TFe/TiO2 ratios are relatively higy.As viewed from a few diagrams that distinguish different chert formations,the auriferous cherts are in or near the range of hot-water deposited cherts.Because the correlation coefficients between Au contents and those of Cr, Ni of the rocks are negative,a great Au amount in the cherts might not be brought about by later hydrothermal alterations.The rare-earth elements,O and Si isotopic compositions of the auriferous cherts demonstrate that the cherts belong to hot-water deposited rocks.The later hydrothermal alterations made the petrochemical compositions of the cherts deviate from the characteristics of hot-water deposition.In general,the geological and geochemical features of the auriferous cherts demonstrate that the rocks were formed by hot water deposition.     

Geochemistry of the Shushui Complex,South Shanxi Province,China

The Shushui Complex can be divided into three rock units based on field investigation, petrography and geochemistry:(1) felsic gneisses, (2) supracrustal rocks consisting of amphibolite, marble and quartzite, and (3) late granites. Of the complex, felsic gneisses are dominant and formed in the Late Archaean, which were intruded by a basic dyke with a whole-rock Rb-Sr isochron age of 2264±219 Ma. The data on rare-earth elements as well as on major and trace elements presented for most of the rock types making up the complex suggest that (1) basic gneisses were produced by partial melting of mantle peridotite, followed by fractional crystallization, and (2) felsic gneisses produced by varying degree of melting of a mafic source. The most suitable tectonic setting to account for the generation of both types would be similar to the underplate setting.     

Geochemical Characteristics of the Jinjiazhuang Ultrabasic Rock—Type Gold Deposit in Chicheng County,Hebei Province

The Jinjiazhuang gold deposit occurs in the Zhangjiakou gold field,Northwest Hebei.The ore bodies are mostly hosted in Xiaozhangjiakou ultrabasic rocks dominated by diopsidite.Electron microprobe analyses indicate that the deposit is characterized by the enrichment of some platinum group elements in principal metallic minerals such as chalcopyrite,galena,sphalerite and pyrite,and the presence of millerite,Stable isotope studies show that carbon,sulfur and most of the metallogenic elements were probably derived largely from the host Xiaozhangjiakou ultrabasic rocks and that it is possible that the ore-forming fluid was predominted by meteoric water.

The Petrology, Geochemistry, and Petrogenesis of E-MORB-type Mafic Rocks from the Guomangco Ophiolitic Mélange, Tibet

The Guomangco ophiolitic melange is situated in the middle part of the Shiquanhe- Yongzhu-Jiali ophiolitic melange belt （SYJMB） and possesses all the subunits of a typical Penrose- type ophiolite pseudostratigraphy. The study of the Guomangco ophiolitic melange is very important for investigating the tectonic evolution of the SYJMB. The mafic rocks of this ophiolitic melange mainly include diabases, sillite dikes, and basalts. Geochemical analysis shows that these dikes mostly have E-MORB major and trace element signatures; this is the first time that this has been observed in the SYJMB. The basalts have N-MORB and IAB affinities, and the mineral chemistry of harzburgites shows a composition similar to that of SSZ peridotites, indicating that the Guomangco ophiolitic melange probably originated in a back-arc basin. The Guomangco back-arc basin opened in the Middle Jurassic, which was caused by southward subduction of the Neo-Tethys Ocean in central Tibet. The main spreading of this back-arc basin occurred during the Late Jurassic, and the basalts were formed during this time. With the development of the back-arc basin, the subducted slab gradually retreated, and new mantle convection occurred in the mantle wedge. The recycling may have caused the metasomatized mantle to undergo a high degree of partial melting and to generate E- MORBs in the Early Cretaceous. E-MORB-type dikes probably crystallized from melts produced by about 20%-30% partial melting of a spinel mantle source, which was metasomatized by melts from low-degree partial melting of the subducted slab.     

Reservoir Geochemistry of the Kuche Petroleum System in the Tarim Basin, China

The geochemical characteristics of crude oils and reservoir core extracts from the Kuche petroleum system are described and studied systematically by means of various geochemical techniques and methods to acquire molecular information. The results suggest crude oils from the petroleum system can be divided into two groups: marine oils and non-marine oils. The former represents the dominant oils found in the area. Tar mats were firstly discovered and determined accurately in terrestrial oil and gas reservoirs, with Lower Tertiary sandstone reservoirs in the Yaha oilfield of the Tarim Basin. However, based on the ratio of 20S/(20S 20R)C29 sterane as a maturity parameter, lacustrine oils filled into the Tertiary reservoirs in the direction toward the western part of the petroleum system. In contrast, according to the fact that methylcyclohexane indices of eastern oils are greater than those of western oils, the location in which coalgenerated oils filled into the Tertiary reservoirs lies in the eastern part of the petroleum system.     

云南鸡街碱性超基性岩铂族元素地球化学特征

本文首次报道了攀西裂谷南段云南省鸡街碱性超基性岩中铂族元素(PGE)的地球化学特征。采用改进的Carius管法测定了霞霓钠辉岩、霓霞岩和磷霞岩中的低含量PGE。PPGE与IPGE呈现强烈分馏,推断幔源岩在低程度部分熔融过程中Pt、Pd表现为相似的不相容性,而Ir、Ru表现为相容性,这种分馏效应随着结晶分异作用的进行而逐渐增强。3种岩石均出现Ru的负异常及Pt、Pd的解耦,说明母岩浆经历了早期的橄榄石晶出,在结晶分异过程中Pd较Pt更不相容。由于岩浆上升过程中的压力减小和结晶分异作用导致的成份变化使岩浆可以达到硫的局部饱和而熔离,表现为部分样品中Cu/Pd远高于原始地幔值。本文通过碱性超基性岩与金伯利岩、煌斑岩和邻区碱性、过碱性玄武岩PGE特征的对比,探讨了其岩浆源区及演化特征。     

Geochemistry of magmatic rocks of the Koksharovka alkaline-ultrabasic massif,primorye, and results of trace-element modeling

New geochemical data are presented on the magmatic rocks of the Late Jurassic Koksharovka alkaline-ultrabasic massif, which is associated with deposits of vermiculite, apatite, V-bearing titanomagnetite, and placer isoferroplatinum. The REE geochemistry and strontium, oxygen, and carbon isotopic composition of carbonatites and related ijolites and pyroxenites, together with geological observations, point to the magmatic origin of the Koksharovka carbonatites. The origin of associated magmatic rocks is discussed. Trace element modeling of partial melting of mantle sources was conducted to decipher the genesis of the melts of the Koksharovka carbonatites and host titanite-kaersutite pyroxenites.

Rare-earth elements in the rock-forming minerals of melilitic rocks in alkaline-ultrabasic complexes

The rare-earth distributions in melilites and other coexisting minerals of melilite-containing rocks from five alkaline-ultrabasic complexes were analysed by partition paper chromatography and neutron activation. Relatively late differentiates are characterized by elevated relative alkalinity and reduced absolute basicity. The characteristics of melilitic sövites markedly differ from established trends. The minerals studied are richer in LREE than chondrites and REE concentrations in these minerals increase in the late differentiates of the melilitic series. A proportionality between logarithms of La and Sm concentrations in pyroxene and melilite imply that melilite-containing rocks (except melilitic sövite) belong to a similar comagmatic series. The degree of LREE-enrichment in rock-forming minerals directly depends on the alkalinity of the rock. The distribution of REE between coexisting melilite and pyroxene may be used as an additional genetic criterion: p.e. magmatic $\text{La}{}_{\mathrm{Pyx}}\text{La}{}_{\mathrm{Mel}}$ ratio is 0.91, while in metasomatic rocks this ratio is between 1.80 and 1.97.     

云南个旧新山层状透辉石岩地质地球化学特征与成因探讨

新山层状、似层状透辉石岩产于新山岩体顶部碳酸盐岩地层层间,颜色较浅,呈浅绿色。其主要矿物为次透辉石,含量在50％以上,其次为钙长石,且矿物粒度小,呈间粒间隐结构。而发育在矿区花岗岩体与碳酸盐岩地层接触带的透辉石夕卡岩中主要矿物为钙铁辉石,含量在65％以上,其次为透闪石、石榴石和硅灰石等,矿物粒度较粗,呈显晶粒状结构。新山层状、似层状透辉石岩具有高Mg、Ti、P,富集sr和大离子亲石元素（Rh、tn、u）,相对亏损Ba、K等特征;稀土分配模式为右倾型,具有较小的Eu负异常（0．40—0．61）。整体上具有与矿区碱性玄武岩相似的微量元素和稀土元素特征,明显有别于新山花岗岩及新山典型的透辉石夕卡岩。通过地质、岩石学及地球化学研究,认为新山层状、似层状透辉石岩原岩很可能就是印支期碱性玄武岩,即在热卤水体系中,拉张裂谷环境下喷发的碱性玄武岩经热水交代蚀变形成。

云南思茅大平掌矿区火山岩的地球化学特征及构造意义

大平掌矿区细碧岩-石英角斑岩建造为典型的双峰式火山岩组合,缺失SiO_2为52％～61％之间的中性火山岩。火山岩的TiO_2含量低及其它岩石化学特征、稀土元素地球化学特征均表明这套火山岩很可能形成于岛弧环境。不相容元素N-MORB标准化型式以Ba、Nd、Sm相对富集和Nb、Sr、Ti的相对亏损为特征,其中Ba 富集和Nb亏损更是岛弧火山作用的主要特征之一。大平掌矿区细碧岩具非常低的 Nb/Y(<0.15)和Zr/TiO_2(<0.01)比值,石英角斑岩的低Zr/TiO_2和Nb/Y特征以及Zr/Y比值(3.34～4.23)、(La/Yb)_N比值(0.47～2.50)变化范围都可以反映出火山岩形成于岛弧环境。大平掌火山岩的Sr、Nd同位素特征与世界上典型岛弧火山岩的Sr、Nd特征相似,其岩浆来源于亏损地幔,且经受地壳混染和(或)海水热液蚀变的影响。岩石中富含的放射成因铅也与岛弧环境密切相关。因此,大平掌铜多金属矿床的形成很可能受岛弧环境下的双峰式火山作用控制。

Geochemistry, age, and petrogenesis of rocks from the Garevka metamorphic complex, Yenisey Ridge

The mineralogical, petrological, geochemical and geochronological data on the Garevka metamorphic complex (GMC) of the Yenisey Ridge were used to evaluate the age, nature, and provenance of their protoliths. The evolution of the GMC occurred in two stages with different ages, thermodynamic regimes, and metamorphic field gradients. The final emplacement of granitoids was marked by high-pressure (HP) amphibolite facies regional metamorphism (970 Ma). At the second stage, these rocks experienced Late Riphean (900–870 Ma) retrograde epidote-amphibolite facies metamorphism accompanied by the formation of blastomylonitic complexes within narrow zones of brittle-ductile deformation. The metamorphism of migmatites (850 Ma) is coeval with the collisional medium-pressure metamorphism of the kyanite-sillimanite type. The GMC is different from the other rock complexes of the Yenisey Ridge in the presence of rapakivi-type granites. The geochemistry of these rocks, which is characterized by stronger enrichment in K₂O, FeO, Y, Th, U, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta, and REE relative to the other mineral assemblages of the GMC, is typical of anorogenic (A-type) within-plate granites. Among other distinctive features of these rocks are the strong iron enrichment of the melanocratic minerals, the presence of ilmenite as the sole Fe-Ti oxide, and crystallization from higher temperature (T = 825°C vs. T = 750°C) water-poor magmas under reducing conditions below the FMQ buffer. Significant variations in the geochemical and petrological characteristics of the GMC rocks suggest that they could not be derived from a single source. The main volume of the high-K rocks varying in composition from A-type to S-type granites was generated by melting of mixed mantlecrustal sources. The products of melting of the Late Archean-Early Proterozoic infracrustal gneisses of the Siberian Craton could be a possible source for the least oxidized rocks.
