Tectonic conditions of sedimentation and source areas of Upper Proterozoic and Lower Paleozoic terrigenous deposits of the Lesser Khingan Terrane of the Central Asian Fold Belt

This work presents the results of geological, geochemical, and Sm-Nd isotopic and geochemical studies of Late Riphean–Cambrian terrigenous rocks of the Khingan Group of the Lesser Khingan Terrane of the Central Asian Fold Belt, as well as the results of U-Pb geochronological (LA-ICP-MS) studies of detrital zircons from these deposits. These deposits are the most ancient in the structure of the terrain. It was found that the deposits of Iginchi and underlying Murandavi formations are attributed to the Late Riphean–Vendian age interval, and the Kimkan sequence, to the Late Cambrian–Early Ordovician. The periods of formation of the Murandavi and Iginchi formations, on one hand, and the Kimkan sequence, on the other hand, are separated by the stage of granitoid magmatism at the turn of the Vendian–Cambrian. Because of this, they cannot be attributed to a unified sedimentary sequence. It is the most probable that the sedimentation of the Iginchi and Murandavi formations and the Kimkan sequence occurred under subduction conditions against the backdrop of magmatic activity.     

Neoproterozoic terrigenous deposits of the Tuva–Mongolian massif: geochemical correlation, sourcelands, and geodynamic reconstruction

We have established that the terrigenous deposits of the Haisuin Formation and metamorphic deposits of the Shutkhulai block are similar in geochemical characteristics to the rocks of the Oka Group. The volcanics of the Sarkhoi Group and, to a lesser extent, the crystalline deposits of the Gargan block and rocks of the Dunjugur ophiolite complex served as sourcelands for the studied deposits. The terrigenous deposits of the Oka Group and Haisuin Formation and the pararocks of the Shutkhulai block accumulated in the same sedimentary basin localized on the margin of the Tuva–Mongolian massif in the setting of an island-arc system.     

宁夏中奥陶统香山群徐家圈组大地构造环境分析

宁夏香山群为一套遭受轻微区域变质的陆源碎屑岩,并夹有少量碳酸盐岩和硅质岩,属于深水浊流沉积,从下到上可分为徐家圈组、狼嘴子组和磨盘井组。长期以来对香山群的研究主要集中在时代探讨上,而在其他方面较薄弱。本文以徐家圈组为主要研究对象,从浊积砂岩的碎屑颗粒类型百分含量、常量元素和微量元素等方面对其沉积时的大地构造环境进行了综合研究。结果表明:碎屑颗粒类型显示出典型的被动大陆边缘;常量元素的判别则出现了不确定性;微量元素则显示出了过渡性质。因此,香山群徐家圈组沉积时大地构造环境可能不是简单的被动大陆边缘,其物源极有可能来自被动大陆边缘、活动大陆边缘和大陆岛弧之间的带有过渡性质的源区。     

贺兰山以南中奥陶统香山群徐家圈组古水流分析

贺兰山以南中奥陶统香山群为一套遭受轻微区域变质的陆源碎屑岩,并夹有少量碳酸盐岩和硅质岩,属于深海浊流沉积。其下部徐家圈组由灰绿、黄绿色轻变质细粒砂岩、钙质砂岩及粉砂岩和页岩组成,沉积环境为深水斜坡环境,并在该组发现了内波、内潮汐沉积,主要表现为双向交错层理。本文通过对徐家圈组指向沉积构造所显示的古水流资料进行研究,综合分析了香山群徐家圈组沉积时浊流方向和古斜坡方向,并利用古水流资料探讨了内波流和内潮汐流的方向。结果表明,槽模古水流方向从北向南略呈扇形发散状,代表了沉积时的浊流方向;交错层理古水流方向主要分散在NWW—NE之间,可以代表内波流和内潮汐流方向。对古水流平面分布特征进行综合分析,可以判断出沉积时区域斜坡方向与浊流方向基本一致,大致为SSW向,沉积时内波和内潮汐的传播方向则大致为NW向。     

黑龙江五道岭组地层时代划分及其与钼矿的关系

五道岭组是黑龙江重要的与成矿关系密切的陆相火山岩地层,长期以来对它的地质时代存在不同认识.本文依据近几年新取得的同位素测年数据,结合与五道岭组紧密伴生的花岗岩类的时代研究,以及对五道岭组火山岩类与伴生花岗岩类的地球化学特征对比研究,提出五道岭组地层时代属于晚三叠世—早侏罗世的新认识.论述了五道岭组火山岩类、晚三叠世—早侏罗世花岗岩类和与前二者关系密切的钼矿是在大体相同的地质时代依次相继形成.较早的陆相火山喷发形成五道岭组火山岩地层,随后发生多阶段的花岗岩类侵入,而钼矿在同源岩浆演化到更晚阶段形成.五道岭组火山岩类和晚三叠世一早侏罗世花岗岩类具有相同的岩浆起源,它们分别是同源岩浆在不同演化阶段和不同深度的产物,因而在时空关系、岩石化学、微量元素、稀土配分和同位素组成等方面表现了明显的一致性.五道岭组地层与钼矿及花岗岩类的密切时空关系和成因联系可用于评价钼矿成矿远景区.     

小兴安岭与松辽盆地新生代耦合关系

通过遥感影像判读、野外高精度GPS定位和数字高程模型分析,查明小兴安岭层状地貌的类型、级数、高程、组成物质和空间展布情况。研究结果表明,新生代以来小兴安岭形成了2级夷平面和5级河流阶地。采用线性函数和二次函数两种统计模型对逊克、嘉荫地区的新生代层状地貌单元相对高度与松辽盆地相应时期沉积物厚度作回归分析,统计模型回归平方和与总离差平方和的比值R~2=0. 944～0. 968,回归方程的整体拟合度很高,该结果显示小兴安岭新生代各个阶段的隆升幅度与松辽盆地的沉降幅度呈正相关关系。新生代期间小兴安岭隆升幅度为449 m,其中第四纪以来的隆升幅度为250 m。第四纪期间小兴安岭平均隆升速率为102. 88 mm/ka。小兴安岭间歇性隆升与松辽盆地间歇性下降是同一构造背景下盆山耦合的两种不同表现形式。     

宁夏中奥陶统香山群徐家圈组内波和内潮汐沉积*

宁夏中奥陶统香山群为一套遭受轻微区域变质的陆源碎屑岩,并夹有少量碳酸盐岩和硅质岩,主要为深水浊流沉积。其中,徐家圈组主要由灰绿色、黄绿色轻变质细砂岩、钙质砂岩及粉砂岩和页岩组成,顶部发育有薄层石灰岩。在该组的中—薄层钙质粉—细砂岩、细粉屑质石灰岩和粉砂质页岩中发现了双向交错层理及纹层倾向与区域斜坡倾向相反或有较大夹角的单向交错层理,其中双向交错层理形态丰富、纹层清晰,其纹层倾向有沿斜坡向上的,有沿斜坡向下的。在深水环境中,这些交错层理不应是等深流沉积或浊流沉积的产物,而应为内波产生的沿斜坡上下水流交替流动所形成的。从沉积背景、沉积构造和古水流等方面对徐家圈组的内波、内潮汐沉积进行了详细的研究,认为其形成于水道不发育的深水斜坡环境,并对斜坡环境中内波、内潮汐沉积中不发育脉状、波状和透镜状层理的现象进行了解释。     

Evolution of the Archean-Palaeoproterozoic Bundelkhand Massif, central India—evidence from granitoid geochemistry

The Bundelkhand massif of Archean-Palaeoproterozoic age is primarily a granite-gneiss complex. Three distinct granitoid suites have been identified within the massif hornblende granitoids, biotite granitoids and leucogranitoids, in order of decreasing age. These granitoids were emplaced in previously deformed basement consisting of gneisses, banded iron formations and other metasediments, mafic to felsic volcanics.
The granitoids exhibit a large compositional range from quartz diorite to syenogranite and show a calc-alkaline trend. They are metaluminous to peraluminous and have I-type characteristics. The SiO₂ content ranges from 49 to 77 wt%. Low K₂O/Na₂O characterizes the granitoids. The oldest hornblende granitoids have low Rb and Yb contents compared to the younger biotite granitoids and leucogranitoids. Rb/Sr values for most of the granitoids are low (< 1). K/Rb ratios range from 95 to 373 which is, in general, comparable with other calc-alkaline suites. Y/Nb ratios of the granitoids are > 1.2 which is a characteristic feature of magmas derived from sources chemically similar to island arc or continental margin basalts.
The features mentioned above coupled with concentrations of Rb, Y, Nb, Yb, Ta and Th indicate a volcanic-arc tectonic setting for the granitoids. It is proposed that the massif represents subduction-related magmatism of an ocean in the southern part of the massif (an Andean plate margin).

The Mid-Carboniferous to Lowermost Permian succession of Spiti (Po Group and Ganmachidam Formation; Tethys Himalaya,Northern India): Gondwana glaciation and rifting of Neo-Tethys.

Abstract

The upper Lower Carboniferous to lowermost Permian terrigenous succession of the Spiti Valley can be subdivided into five formations (Thabo Formation, Fenestella Shale, Kabjima Quartzarenite, Chichong Formation and Ganmachidam Diamictite), here described in detail and subdivided into members or lithozones.

The Po Group, overlying the platform carbonates and gypsum deposits of the Lipak Formation, records an increase of subarkosic to quartzarenitic terrigenous detritus derived from uplift and erosion of continental blocks in the south during the initial stage of Neo-Tethyan rifting. Increasing mineralogic stability through the Thabo Formation broadly coincides with a climate change from tropical arid to temperate humid conditions during the Visean-Serpukhovian. The Fenestella Shale, containing rich brachiopod associations of Bashkirian age, documents a stage of widespread subsidence and transgression, followed by the regressive Kabjima Quartzarenite, which records recycling of quartzose sedimentary sequences in the south.

The Chichong Formation marks another transgressive event, associated with a significant increase of granitoid detritus, partly from nearby Lesser to High Himalayan source areas. Chaetetid, cephalopod and brachiopod faunas hint at a Moscovian age for the “Chaetetid beds”, at the top of which varve-like lamination and scattered pebbles suggest glacially influenced deposition. The overlying glacio-fluvial (?) cobble conglomerates (“Pebbly beds”) reflect onset of rapid tectonic uplift.

Abundant detritus from sedimentary rocks characterizes the overlying Ganmachidam Diamictite, deposited in glacio-marine environments; cold-water marine faunas of Asselian age occur in its middle part. Erosion of progressively older pre-rift sedimentary successions is ascribed to basin inversion, associated with unroofing of anatectic granitoids of the Lesser and High Himalayas. Basaltic to rhyolitic volcanic detritus documents alkalic magmatism at the climax of continental rifting.     

Mo-related Adakitic Granitoids from Non-island-arc Setting: Jecheon Pluton of South Korea

Abstract. The Jecheon granitoids, having an elongated shape of NE-SW 27 km and NW-SE 13 km (190 km²), are composed mostly of magnetite-series hornblende-biotite granodiorite and biotite granite, which intrude into the Neoproterozoic metamor-phic and Paleozoic sedimentary rocks of the Ogcheon Belt. The granitoids have Triassic-Jurassic age of 202.7 ±1.9 Ma with very high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr initial ratio of 0.7140. The granodiorite has 63–69 % SiO₂, 15.1–17.3 % Al₂O₃, <1.6 % MgO, 6–15 ppm Y and Sr/Y ratios of 24–76, and is depleted in HREE. Biotite granite together, the Jecheon pluton has adakitic characteristics, which are unique in a continental tectonic setting. The granitoids may have been generated by partial melting of an older adakitic granitoid of I-type basement, or by separation of early crystallized garnet and hornblende from an anatectic melt.     

西藏沙丁、荣布地区三叠系—老第三系沉积地质特征

Geology and Geochemistry of the Pre-early Cambrian Rocks in the Sandikli Area: Implications for the Pan-African Evolution of NW Gondwanaland

The pre-Early Cambrian Sandikli Basement Complex in western Central Anatolia comprises a low-grade meta-sedimentary succession (Güvercinoluk Formation) and meta-rhyolites intruded by meta-quartz porphyry rocks (Kestel Cayi Porphyroid Suite). The Güvercinoluk Formation consists of alternation of meta-siltstones and meta-sandstones with olistostromal conglomerates, rare black chert and cherty meta-dolomite lenses. The Kestel Cayi Porphyroid Suite is a deformed, highly sheared dome-shaped rhyolitic body with quartz porphyry rocks. Quartz porphyry dykes intrude both the volcanic carapace and the meta-sedimentary rocks of the Güvercinoluk Formation. Both the meta-quartz porphyry rocks and meta-rhyolites are typically mylonitic with relict igneous textures. Geochemical data indicate that the felsic rocks of the Kestel Cayi Porphyroid Suite are subalkaline and display characteristic features of post-collisional, I-type granitoids. The basement complex is unconformably overlain by variegated conglomerates, mudstones and arkosic sandstones with andesitic lavas, followed by siliciclastic rocks and carbonates that yielded Early Middle Cambrian fossils.

Based on the geochemical characteristics of the felsic rocks of Kestel Cayi Porphyroid Suite and the depositional features of the associated sediments it is suggested that the Sandikli Basement Complex is related to a post-collisional extension event in NW Gondwanaland. Similar occurrences elsewhere have been related to a transition from continental plate convergence to continental plate divergence along the Pan-African Belt.     

Pre-Early Ordovician Cadomian arc-type granitoids, the Bolu Massif, West Pontides, northern Turkey: geochemical evidence

The West Pontides tectonic belt of northern Turkey comprises a Lower Ordovician–Lower Carboniferous transgressive sequence. A stratigraphic basement to this Paleozoic sequence is exposed in the Bolu area. The tectono-stratigraphy of the basement closely resemble that of the Cadomian belt of western Europe. Three rock units forming the basement imply development of an Andean-type active continental margin during the pre-Early Ordovician period. High-grade metamorphics (the Sünnice Group), granitoids (the Bolu Granitoid Complex) and evolved felsic meta-volcanic rocks (the Ça?urtepe Formation) are exposed unconformably beneath the Lower Ordovician fluvial clastics, between the Bolu-Yedigöller area, to the north of Bolu. The Bolu Granitoid Complex comprises a group of intrusive rocks of variable composition and size, generated through multiple episodes of magmatism, and is represented by two separate intrusive bodies within the study area, the Tüllükiri? Pluton in the west and the Kap?kaya Pluton in the east. Both plutons are mainly tonalite and granodiorite in composition. More felsic and mafic compositional varieties also occur. Major and trace element chemical characteristics of the granitoids, as well as biotite chemistry, indicate that these are volcanic arc-type granitoids and are products of an immature arc developed during early stages of a subduction. Furthermore, textural and chemical characteristics of the plutons show that these are subvolcanic intrusions, emplaced at shallow depths, and are calc-alkaline in composition. The granitoidic plutons intrude the Ça?urtepe Formation. The Ça?urtepe Formation is represented by arc-type volcanics and volcaniclastics. Both the Ça?urtepe Formation and the granitoids represent subduction-zone magmatism constructed on a continental crust, represented by the Sünnice Group. The history is very similar to Cadomian active margins as exposed in western Europe (i.e., the North Armorican and Bohemia massifs) and therefore the basement to the Paleozoic of the West Pontides is considered to be a preserved remnant of the Cadomian belt.     

金湖凹陷阜宁组二段混合沉积研究

金湖凹陷是苏北盆地的主要含油气凹陷,阜宁组二段沉积时期广泛发育陆源碎屑与湖相碳酸盐的混合沉积,结合研究区内岩芯、录井、测井等资料对金湖凹陷阜二段的混合沉积进行了系统研究。其中,金湖凹陷阜二段沉积时期,混合沉积微观上表现为陆源碎屑组分与碳酸盐组分混合沉积形成混积岩,宏观上表现为陆源碎屑岩—碳酸盐岩层系、陆源碎屑岩—混积岩层系、碳酸盐岩—混积岩层系和混积岩层系;混积类型主要发育渐变式和复合式混合沉积,少量发育突变式混合沉积。通过对比分析区域地质背景、岩石学特征、沉积环境等,建立了阜二段混合沉积相模式。对研究区的混合沉积控制因素进行了讨论,认为其主控因素为阜二段沉积时期的海侵作用,同时构造作用、气候条件、湖平面变化、物源等也对研究区混合沉积有重要的影响。     

The Baikalian and Vendian sequences in the Lower Angara area (southwestern Siberian Platform)

In the section of Agaleevskaya BH-4 drilled in the lower reaches of the Angara River, Vendian and Baikalian sediment sequences have been recognized within Neoproterozoic strata. The Vendian sequence is formed by terrigenous-carbonate deposits of the Tetere, Soba, and Katanga Formations of the Danilovo Horizon, referred to as the Upper Vendian Nemakit-Daldyn Stage, as well as by terrigenous deposits of the Taseeva Group. The Baikalian Horizon is composed of the Brus Formation, earlier recognized only on the Chadobets uplift, and is separated from the Vendian deposits by a stratigraphic gap. In the Brus Formation, a microfossil complex similar to earlier described biotas of the Siberian Baikalian strata was found. The underlying deposits of the Terina Formation contain microfossils lacking below the basement of the Lakhanda Horizon (Neoproterozoic).     

Early cretaceous granitoids and their implications for the collapse of the Dabie orogen, eastern China: SHRIMP zircon U–Pb dating and geochemistry

Two stages of early Cretaceous post-orogenic granitoids are recognized in the Dabie orogen, eastern China, which recorded processes of extensional collapse of the orogen. The early stage granitoids ( 132 Ma) are foliated hornblende quartz monzonites and porphyritic monzogranites. They are of high-K calc-alkaline series and metaluminous to weakly peraluminous, with high K₂O and low MgO contents (Mg^# values: 32.0–46.0), they contain high Sr, low Y and heavy rare earth elements (HREE), and have high Sr/Y and (La/Yb)_N ratios, without clear negative Eu, Sr and Ti anomalies. The early stage deformed granitoids have adakitic geochemical compositions and are equilibrated with residues rich in garnet and poor in anorthite-rich plagioclase, and thus indicate the existence of an over-thickened (> 50 km) crustal root beneath the orogen at  132 Ma. The later stage granitoids ( 128 Ma) are undeformed fine-grained monzogranites, fine-grained K-feldspar granites and coarse-grained K-feldspar granite-porphyry. They belong to a peraluminous and high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonite series, and display a flat HREE pattern and have strong negative Eu, Sr and Ti anomalies, with low Sr/Y and (La/Yb)_N ratios. The late stage granitoids are equilibrated with residues rich in anorthite-rich plagioclase, hornblende, ilmenite/titanite and poor in garnet, indicating that the crust of the Dabie orogen became thinner (< 35 km) at  128 Ma. SHRIMP zircon U–Pb ages and changing compositional trends for these two stages of granitoids indicate that the over-thickened crust formed by the Triassic continental subduction/collision under the Dabie orogen remained until the early Cretaceous, and collapsed quickly in a few million years during the early Cretaceous.
