龙门山区北川甘溪剖面泥盆系养马坝组铁质鲕粒成因及其古环境讨论

龙门山区中泥盆统养马坝组底部发育丰富的铁质鲕粒。为分析该铁质鲕粒成因,本文以甘溪石沟里剖面精细实测为基础,通过详细的薄片和扫描电镜等分析,对铁质鲕粒的特征进行了研究,分析结果表明:龙门山区北川甘溪泥盆系养马坝组鲕粒类型多样,鲕粒核心包括石英碎屑颗粒、海百合碎片、黑色赤铁矿和方解石等4种类型,鲕粒圈层可分为明暗相间圈层、颜色均匀圈层和绿泥石圈层等3种类型。根据鲕粒核心和外部圈层的组合,可将甘溪泥盆系养马坝组的铁质鲕粒划分为粉砂质鲕粒、铁化鲕粒和绿泥石薄皮鲕粒等3种类型。龙门山区北川甘溪泥盆系养马坝组铁质鲕粒对古环境具有重要的指示意义,粉砂质鲕粒形成于开放近岸浅海氧化环境,而铁化鲕粒和绿泥石薄皮鲕粒则指示浅海滨岸中相对封闭的泻湖与残积鲕粒滩环境。

中国泥盆纪鲕铁石沉积环境、成因

中国泥盆纪鲕铁石分布在华南的云南、四川、贵州、广西、湖南、江西、湖北等7个省(区)。鲕铁石结构有鲕粒、假鲕粒、凝胶团粒。鲕粒一般有环带、有核心,也有仅有环带、无核心的鲕环2-3层,少数数十层。鲕粒环带、团粒一般为自形晶微粒赤铁矿、绿泥石、菱铁矿,含少量粘土矿物及其他自形品矿物。核心为石英碎屑,或铁矿物碎屑。鲕粒间基质自形晶矿物、粘土矿物及其碎屑矿物。以接近封闭的浅水泻湖环境沉积最好(占鲕铁石总储量60%),以河口三角洲砂坝沉积最差(占4.2%)。鲕铁石是海水中胶体沉积的,当海水有一定能量时,铁质围绕碎屑物或铁矿物碎屑转动沉积鲕粒环带,铁质也可围绕先凝聚的铁矿物转动沉积无核心的环带。当海水能量低时形成凝胶团粒。

通过野外调查,在云南镇雄县安家坝发现富铁豆鲕状赤铁矿体。矿体呈透镜状、似层状产出于梁山组上部,矿体产状与地层产状基本一致。通过少量剥土工程初步控制,矿体走向呈南西—北东向,倾向上延伸不明。致密状赤铁矿品位低,不具工业规模,豆鲕状赤铁矿平均品位34.09%,厚度4 m以上,达到赤铁矿最低工业指标要求。镜下显示,豆鲕状赤铁矿样品由鲕豆粒、陆源碎屑及填隙物等构成,鲕豆粒成分占40%以上,分布均匀,成分由粘土矿物构成,具弱褐铁矿化现象。研究认为,本区鲕状赤铁矿的形成经历了叠生成矿作用,原生沉积的铁质石英砂岩,经表生氧化和风化淋滤叠生成矿作用形成原生沉积+风化淋滤叠生赤铁矿床。     

我国显生宙鲕铁石

我国显生宙鲕铁石主要分布在我国中南、西南,其次为华东地区,主要产于中奥陶世,中、晚泥盆世,早、中侏罗世地层中,以晚泥盆世最为重要,其矿石储量占70.5％,沉积条件最好,为接近封闭的浅海泻湖中。奥陶纪及泥盆纪海水中沉积的鲕粒直径分别为0.7—2mm,0.2—0.8mm。侏罗纪湖水沉积的鲕铁石直径为0.15—0.66mm。鲕粒环带的形成,与水体波动能量使铁质围绕碎屑矿物,或围绕先已形成的自形晶微粒铁矿物旋转有关。静水沉积时能量小,无环带形成,多为无核心的铁质团粒。鲕粒环带,杂基多为自形晶铁矿物或碳酸盐物,鲕核有的为石英碎屑,右的为自形晶铁矿物或碎屑铁矿物。

Palaeoenvironmental implications of ferruginous deposits related to a Middle–Upper Jurassic discontinuity (Prebetic Zone,Betic Cordillera,Southern Spain)

The Middle–Upper Jurassic boundary in the westernmost Tethyan basins is marked by a discontinuity. A thin iron crust with ferruginous ooids and pisoids and an overlying ferruginous oolitic limestone lithofacies occur in a genetic relationship to this discontinuity with a reduced thickness (< 50 cm) and very local distribution in the Prebetic Zone (Betic Cordillera).The ferruginous coated grains are subdivided into two types. Type A ooids are characterised by thin, regular lamination in concentric layers enclosing a nucleus; they are dominant in the top of the iron crust (100% of the ferruginous ooids) and in the ferruginous oolitic limestone (82%). Type B ooids typically have thick, irregular lamination in a few discontinuous concentric layers enclosing a variable nucleus including bioclasts and foraminifera; they are exclusive to the ferruginous oolitic limestone (18% of the ferruginous ooids). The bulk chemical composition varies between 80% Fe₂O₃ by weight in the iron crust and 67% by weight in the coated grains. In the ferruginous ooids, the contents in SiO₂ (5.4%), Al₂O₃ (6.5%), P₂O₅ (3.6%), and CaO (4.7%) are higher than in the crust. Trace elements (V, Cr, Co, Ni, Zn, Y, Mo, and Pb) in both the crust and ooids show enriched values compared with the bulk composition of the upper continental crust. The mineral composition of the iron crust and ooids is primarily goethite, with small amounts of Al-hydroxide (bohemite) and apatite, whereas hematite is identified only in the iron crust.The Type A ooids are interpreted as having an origin related to the iron crust. Since there is no evidence to support a marine genesis for the iron crust, the possibility of a subaerial origin is presented here. The crust has characteristics (chemical and mineralogical composition) similar to those of ferruginous pisolitic plinthite (highly weathered redoximorphic soil), and goethite shows an Al-substitution range (5–10 mol%) that indicates pedogenic conditions. Soil processes under periodic hydrous conditions are suggested; groundwater soils with hydrous conditions are congruent with the formation of the Type A ferruginous ooids and pisoids. In this situation, a coastal plain with periodically flooded soils would be the likeliest scenario. Callovian shallow carbonate shelf was possibly emerged and weathered, followed by marine sedimentation during the Middle Oxfordian, associated with major flooding of the Prebetic shelf and the erosion of ferruginous pisolitic plinthite. The first marine deposit was ferruginous oolitic limestones. Fragments of iron crust and Type A ferruginous ooids were reworked and incorporated into the marine sediments. A second phase of ferruginous ooids (Type B) with clear marine features developed, benefiting from iron-rich microenvironments due to the redistribution from iron crust fragments and Type A ferruginous ooids.     

沉积铁矿形成过程中的生物作用

    沉积赤铁矿和层控黄铁矿、菱铁矿的成矿过程中都离不开生物的作用。不同情况下，其表现形式不尽相同。生物的活动形成赤铁矿受层石、毒球状黄铁矿以及有机质的还原作用由赤铁矿转变为菱铁矿。
    冀西北宣龙地区铁质叠层石和铁质核形石同心纹层中普遍含有微体古植物化石，属于低等蓝藻类，形态以丝状体为主，部分为羽状体，它们直接地参与了铁的成矿作用。
        

Ooidal ironstones and ferruginous microbialites: origin and relation to sequence stratigraphy (Aalenian and Bajocian, Swiss Jura mountains)

Aalenian and lower Bajocian rocks in the central and northern Swiss Jura mountains comprise a series of parasequences that mainly reflect a shallowing-upward trend in a shallow, mixed carbonate/siliciclastic depositional environment. Within a parasequence, ooidal ironstones may occur at three specific types of horizons. These are: regressional discontinuities and transgressional discontinuities formed by sediment bypassing, and omissional discontinuities formed by starvation. Ooidal ironstones, which principally are autochthonous, accumulated during both sea-level rises and falls in a relatively broad bathymetric and hydrodynamic spectrum. The key physical factor for ferruginous ooid genesis is non-deposition. Ferruginous ooids and microbialites consist of goethite, chamosite and mixtures thereof, with subordinate amounts of apatite and silica. Ferruginous ooids grew stepwise on the sediment surface in an oxygenated marine environment. Ferruginous microbialites, being the product of benthic microbial communities, grew ? partly in cavities ? in aerated moderate- to high-energy environments. Thus, chamosite evolved from a precursor substance stable under oxidizing conditions. The close mineralogical and micromorphological resemblance of ferruginous microbialites and ooids suggests a common biogenic origin. Structural rearrangement of a biologically accreted gel-like precursor substance consisting of various amorphous hydroxides is considered a probable mode of mineral genesis in both ferruginous ooids and microbialites.     

Genesis of the channel iron deposits (CID) of the Pilbara region,Western Australia

Miocene fluvial goethite/hematite channel iron deposits (CID) are part of the Cenozoic Detritals 2 (CzD2), of the Western Australian Pilbara region. They range from gravelly mudstones through granular rocks to intraformational pebble, cobble and rare boulder conglomerates, as infill in numerous meandering palaeochannels in a mature surface that includes Precambrian granitoids, volcanics, metasediments, BIF and ferruginous Palaeogene valley fill. In the Hamersley Province of the Pilbara, the consolidated fine gravels and subordinate interbedded conglomerates, with their leached equivalents, are a major source of export iron ore. This granular ore typically comprises pedogenically derived pelletoids comprising hematite nuclei and goethite cortices (ooids and lesser pisoids), with abundant coarser goethitised wood/charcoal fragments and goethitic peloids, minor clay, and generally minimal porous goethitic matrix, with late-stage episodic solution and partial infill by secondary goethite, silica and siderite (now oxidised) in places. Clay horizons and non-ore polymictic basal and marginal conglomerates are also present. The accretionary pedogenic pelletoids were mostly derived from stripping of a mature ferruginous but apparently well-vegetated surface, developed in the Early to Middle Miocene on a wide variety of susceptible rock types including BIF, basic intrusives and sediments. This deep ferruginisation effectively destroyed most remnants of the original rock textures producing a unique surface, very different to those that produced the underlying CzD1 (Palaeogene) and the overlying CzD3 (Pliocene – Quaternary). The peloids were derived both intraformationally from fragmentation and reworking of desiccated goethite-rich muds, and from the regolith. Tiny wood/charcoal fragments replaced in soil by goethite, and dehydrated to hematite, formed nuclei for many pelletoids. Additionally, abundant small (≤10 mm) fragments of wood/charcoal, now goethite, were probably replaced in situ within the consolidating CID. This profusion of fossil wood, both as pelletoid nuclei and as discrete fragments, suggests major episodic wild fires in heavily vegetated catchments, a point supported by the abundance of kenomagnetite – maghemite developed from goethite in the pelletoids, but less commonly in the peloids. The matrix to the heterogeneous colluvial and intraformational components is essentially goethite, primarily derived from modified chemically precipitated iron hydroxyoxides, resulting from leaching of iron-rich soils in an organic environment, together with goethitic soil-derived alluvial material. Major variations in the granular ore CID after deposition have resulted from intermittent groundwater flow in the channels causing dissolution and reprecipitation of goethite and silica, particularly in the basal CID zones, with surface weathering of eroded exposures playing a role in masking some of these effects. However, significant variations in rock types in both the general CID and the granular ore CID have also resulted from the effects of varied provenance.     

太原西山七里沟剖面本溪组铁质鲕粒成因探讨

著名的“山西式”铁矿几乎分布于整个华北地区,其成因曾是一个古老的地质问题。本文在前人研究的基础上,通过野外露头观察,并结合镜下鉴定与能谱分析对太原西山七里沟剖面本溪组铁质层中铁质鲕粒结构及其特征进行了详细研究。研究表明,大部分铁质鲕粒具有放射结构,并能隐约看到同心圈层,同时,在鲕粒内部及其周围发现了大量的似蓝细菌丝状体,以及铁质凝块和球粒,具有明显的微生物成因特征。因此,认为铁质鲕粒的形成与微生物密切相关,微生物参与了铁矿的形成。     

豫西渑池地区寒武系第三统张夏组的巨鲕及其成因

巨鲕是指那些直径超过2mm、海相成因的大型鲕粒,它们在结构上与鲕粒相似,但却远没有鲕粒分布广泛,成因也与鲕粒不尽相同。豫西渑池地区寒武系第三统张夏组发育了大量的巨鲕,其核心由粒径小于2mm的放射状鲕粒或泥晶球粒组成,形成于弱搅动的水体环境中;圈层以泥晶或由Girvanella丝状体组成的暗色纹层与由微亮晶方解石组成的浅色纹层交替发育为特征。巨鲕是在低、中等能量交替的滩间海环境中由Girvanella丝状体的生长、微生物诱导的钙化作用和无机碳酸钙沉淀而成的。Girvanella丝状体在巨鲕的内、外圈层均有分布,尤以外圈层分布更为密集,显示了微生物在巨鲕形成过程中具有重要作用,这为探讨巨鲕的成因提供了一个重要的实例。     

碳酸盐鲕粒包壳结构研究综述*

在现代和古代碳酸盐沉积物中,碳酸盐鲕粒的包壳结构类型均较多,因其常被用于恢复古海洋的化学、物理性质演化而备受关注。对碳酸盐鲕粒包壳的研究始于 1879年,此后现代和古代鲕粒包壳的原生和次生结构特征和成因均得到了详细描述和深入探讨;然而,目前仍存在对现代鲕粒包壳原生结构的部分术语定义不明确、对古代鲕粒包壳原生结构的特征识别和分类不尽准确等问题。文中归纳了现代鲕粒包壳的原生结构类型及其主要特征,指出鲕粒包壳结构组合的常见类型包括放射状、同心状、同心—放射状等,且对包壳结构组合类型的识别是鲕粒包壳结构研究的关键。古代鲕粒受成岩作用影响,包壳原生结构保存程度可能不尽相同,甚至完全被次生结构所替代,但其原生结构类型与现代鲕粒类似,以放射状和同心状结构为主,只是同心状结构中的切线状纹层难以识别。中国的古代鲕粒研究虽已取得大量成果,但在对包壳原生结构的识别和应用方面尚存在一些误区,故在借鉴现代鲕粒包壳结构研究成果的基础上,笔者以华南下奥陶统鲕粒为例,论述了对古代鲕粒包壳结构如何进行特征描述、如何识别出保存较好的原生结构及如何利用包壳结构组合类型进行鲕粒分类等问题,展示了古代鲕粒包壳原生结构研究的重要科学意义。
