钛粒硅镁石:冷俯冲带蛇纹岩超高压变质的特征变质矿物

蛇纹岩矿物组合简单,主要组成矿物蛇纹石的温压稳定范围很大,这导致确定蛇纹岩的变质温压条件存在困难。本文通过实验岩石学模拟的方法,确定了钛粒硅镁石是蛇纹岩经历超高压变质的特征变质矿物。根据实验观察,压力达到3.0~3.5 GPa条件下,600~700℃范围内均存在钛粒硅镁石的生成反应,说明钛粒硅镁石在压力大于3.0~3.5 GPa条件下才能稳定;温度高于750℃,钛粒硅镁石开始减少直至消失。至于钛粒硅镁石的压力上限,由于实验条件所限,本次实验并未得出。钛斜硅镁石先于钛粒硅镁石出现,晚于钛粒硅镁石消失,稳定的温压范围更大。对实验样品观察发现,普遍存在钛粒硅镁石、钛斜硅镁石和橄榄石互为核边、互相交生的现象,这些实验现象与自然界中观察到的现象一致。低温高压条件下,由于这3类矿物结构的相似性,钛斜硅镁石与橄榄石通常出现互为核边的现象;随着温度升高,钛斜硅镁石以斑块或者片晶出现在橄榄石中,直至最终分解消失。钛粒硅镁石的出现与否取决于温压条件：低温低压条件下,钛粒硅镁石不稳定,发生分解产生钛斜硅镁石,出现钛斜硅镁石包裹钛粒硅镁石的现象;低温高压条件下,钛粒硅镁石稳定生长,出现钛粒硅镁石发育于钛斜硅镁石边部的现象;高温条件下,钛粒硅镁石不稳定,以片晶形式存在于橄榄石或钛斜硅镁石中。研究表明,钛粒硅镁石稳定于低温高压条件,确定其为冷俯冲带蛇纹岩超高压变质的标志。同时详细的岩相学显示了钛硅镁石矿物在高压变质过程中的行为,从而为俯冲带超基性岩变质研究提供理论依据。

雅鲁藏布江缝合带白朗县白岗尖晶石—石榴子石相二辉橄榄岩的相界反应及其意义

西藏白朗县白岗村蛇绿混杂岩中有一罕见的尖晶石石榴子石二辉橄榄岩小岩块,被松软的蛇纹岩化尖晶石二辉橄榄岩包裹其中。岩块中发育有碎基单斜辉石、斜方辉石中出溶单斜辉石、切过出溶单斜辉石的贯入单斜辉石和外来碎粒单斜辉石及钙质辉石+铬尖晶石→钙铁石榴子石相界反应。同时,在岩块和包壳岩石的橄榄石中出现针状硅镁石出溶物。计算这些矿物的温度压力表明,它们的温度压力都处于>800℃,>1.8GPa以上的地幔石榴子石域超高压环境,而且,经历过一个上升→俯冲→上升的"N"字形历程。     

大别山北部镁铁-超镁铁质岩带中榴辉岩的分布与变质温压条件

大别山北部镁铁-超镁铁质岩带中的榴辉岩主要有两种产状,一是产于变形较强(面理化)的橄榄岩中,另一种是产于片麻岩中。其中,绿辉石中硬玉端元组分大多为Jd=20mol％～52mol％。产于橄榄岩和片麻岩中榴辉岩的石榴子石成分分别相当于Coleman的B型和C型榴辉岩。石榴子石成分特征及钠质单斜辉石中石英针状出溶体的出现表明,本区榴辉岩早期可能经历过超高压变质作用,且至少经历了3个变质阶段,即:①榴辉岩相峰期变质阶段,主要矿物共生组合为石榴子石+绿辉石+金红石±蓝晶石+石英(或柯石英假象?),p≥2.5GPa、t=595～874℃;②高压麻粒岩相变质阶段,主要矿物共生组合为石榴子石+透辉石+紫苏辉石+钛铁矿+尖晶石+斜长石等,p=1.1～1.37GPa、t=817～909℃;③角闪岩相变质阶段,主要矿物共生组合为角闪石+斜长石+磁铁矿等,p=0.5～0.6GPa、t=500～600℃。该区榴辉岩独特的麻粒岩相退变质阶段,表明榴辉岩在折返初期并未能上升到中上地壳,而处于下地壳,它与南部超高压变质岩有不同的p-t演化史,即在榴辉岩相峰期变质之后经历了近等温减压(或稍升温减压)和降温减压变质过程。     

大别山北部榴辉岩的退变质特征及其地质意义

研究了大别山北部榴辉岩的变质岩岩石学。结果表明，该区榴辉岩相变质作用可分为早期(超高压)和晚期(高压)两个阶段，并在折返过程中形成了一系列特征性的退变质显微构造。其中，退变质结构主要包括：(1)由于压力降低而出溶形成的一些定向针状或叶片状矿物包裹体，如钠质单斜辉石中石英及石榴子石中的金红石、单斜辉石和磷灰石等；(2)冠状体或后成合晶，特别是石榴子石外围发育两期(“双层”)后成合晶；(3)反应边或退变边，如绿辉石的透辉石退变边、透辉石的角闪石退变边和金红石的钛铁矿退变边等。这些退变质结构为本区榴辉岩高级变质岩的快速折返过程和抬升历史提供了强有力的岩石学依据；石榴子石中针状矿物出溶体进一步证明研究区榴辉岩早期经历了超高压变质作用，峰期变质压力应大干4．0GPa，甚至可能达到5～7GPa或更高。     

大别山北部超高压变质大理岩及其地质意义

岩石学研究表明 ,大别山北部镁铁 超镁铁质岩带中白云质大理岩至少经历过三期变质阶段 :(1)榴辉岩相峰期变质阶段 ,矿物组合主要为方解石 +白云石 +金红石 +镁橄榄石 +钛 斜硅镁石 +富镁的钛铁矿±文石±石榴子石 ;(2 )麻粒岩相退变质阶段 ,矿物组合主要为方解石 +白云石 +金云母 +镁橄榄石 +透辉石 +钛铁矿 +尖晶石±斜方辉石等 ;(3)角闪岩相退变质阶段 ,主要矿物组合为方解石 +白云石 +磷灰石 +磁铁矿+榍石等。它的峰期变质矿物组合 ,类似于苏 鲁超高压大理岩 ,形成压力至少大于 2 .5GPa。这进一步证明 ,大别山北部大多数高级变质岩 (包括大理岩等 )都曾经过超高压变质作用 ,应属于印支期扬子俯冲陆壳的一部分。     

中国大陆科学钻探工程主孔斜长角闪岩中锆石的SHRIMP U-Pb定年及其地质意义

矿物包裹体激光拉曼测试、阴极发光图像分析和SHRIMP U-Pb定年综合研究结果表明,中国大陆科学钻探主孔斜长角闪岩(样品G12)中的锆石可划分为2种类型:第一类颗粒粗大,舍有大量矿物包裹体和杂质;第二类颗粒细小,含有少量矿物包裹体且十分干净.第一类锆石具有明显的双层结构,核部阴极发光图像显示典型的岩浆结晶环带,相应的矿物包裹体为单斜辉石(Cpx)+斜长石(P1)+磷灰石(Ap)±石英(Qtz),表明其寄主岩石的原岩为基性岩浆岩;边部阴极发光图像十分均匀,保存柯石英(Coe)+石榴子石(Grt)+绿辉石(Omp)+多硅白云母(Phe)+磷灰石(Ap)等标志性超高压包裹体矿物组合,记录的变质温压条件为T=732～839℃、p=3.0～4.0GPa,表明该类变质增生锆石微区形成于超高压变质阶段.第二类锆石阴极发光图像十分均匀,发光性明显增强,保存角闪石(Amp)+斜长石(PI)等标志性角闪岩相包裹体矿物组合,记录的变质温压条件为T=612～698℃、p=0.76～1.05GPa,表明该类锆石形成于后期角闪岩相退变质阶段.SHILIMP U-Pb定年结果显示,继承性岩浆结晶锆石核部记录的206Pb/238U的年龄为685～650Ma,表明其原岩形成于新元古代;含柯石英等超高压矿物包裹体的边部记录的206Pb/238U年龄为243～225Ma,表明超高压变质时代应归属于晚三叠世.第二类舍低压包裹体矿物的锆石微区记录的206Pb/238U年龄为219～210Ma,应代表后期角闪岩相退变质作用的时代.上述研究结果表明,苏鲁地体斜长角闪岩的原岩在晚三叠世深俯冲至上地幔100～120km的地幔深处并经历了超高压变质作用,约15 Ma之后,这些超高压岩石抬升到约25 km的中部地壳,并经历了后期角闪岩相退变质作用的改造.相应的折返速率为0.57 cm/y.     

羌塘地区榴辉岩中矿物出溶体及其成因机制探讨

西藏羌塘地区榴辉岩石榴子石和磷灰石中均发育矿物出溶体,结合电子探针和扫描电镜分析及能谱分析,确定了石榴子石中的出溶体有金红石、石英和角闪石,指示其可能经历了高压/超高压变质作用。本研究在磷灰石中发现了金红石出溶,并认为其可能是在高压/超高压条件下元素相互置换的结果,置换方式为Ti~(4+)(Fe~(2+)、Si~(4+))=2Ca~(2+),这些出溶体的形成为榴辉岩曾经历高压/超高压变质作用提供了矿物学证据。     

苏鲁超高压榴辉岩中的钛成矿作用:大陆板块汇聚边界的成矿作用

榴辉岩型钛矿床是重要的钛矿床类型之一。苏鲁超高压榴辉岩中的钛成矿作用以金红石型钛矿床为主,其中金红石以变质矿物中的包裹体、晶间颗粒或脉状形式出现。富钛石榴子石是金红石包裹体出溶的初始矿物。岩石地球化学研究表明,有利于金红石成矿的榴辉岩为高钛榴辉岩,其源岩为富钛基性岩。利用红外显微镜对金红石进行的流体包裹体研究表明,金红石中主要存在三类流体包裹体,即型H2O溶液包裹体、型CO2-H2O包裹体和型CH4包裹体,其中I型原生和假次生流体包裹体和型流体包裹体反映出的压力范围为0.6~1.3GPa,与榴辉岩角闪岩相退变质作用的压力相当,说明与这类金红石形成有关的变质流体源于榴辉岩退变质作用所释放的水。苏鲁地区超高压榴辉岩是华南—华北板块碰撞的结果,巨量陆壳物质俯冲—折返形成了多样式的高压—超高压岩石,与此同时也发生了以金红石为主要矿石矿物的钛成矿作用。综合矿物学、岩石学、地球化学等研究,我们提出大陆板块汇聚边界的钛成矿作用应该经历了原岩的初始富集、陆壳物质俯冲过程中钛的成矿作用、俯冲板块折返过程中钛的成矿作用和流体阶段的金红石成矿作用四个主要成矿阶段。     

冀北崇礼高压-超高压榴英岩的发现及其矿物化学和锆石U-Pb年代学特征

首次在冀北崇礼晚古生代红旗营子变质表壳岩中发现了高压-超高压榴英岩,并对其进行了矿物化学研究及锆石U-Pb年代学限定。该高压-超高压榴英岩呈透镜状产出,直接围岩为石榴黑云斜长片麻岩,矿物成分主要为石榴子石和石英,有少量角闪石、斜长石和重晶石,副矿物可见磷灰石、钛铁矿以及铜铁硫化物等。石榴子石以高的Grs+And值(23.08%～29.38%)为特征,属铁铝榴石-钙铝榴石-镁铝榴石系列,铁铝榴石分子、钙铝榴石分子和镁铝榴石分子分别为51.70%～61.87%、23.08%～28.45%和11.31%～16.75%,另有少量的锰铝榴石分子(1.25%～2.45%)。磷灰石为氟磷灰石,F含量介于1.65%～3.29%之间,磷灰石包裹体周边石榴子石颗粒常具放射状减压膨胀缝,显示出高压-超高压变质岩的退变质特征。重晶石可能为磷灰石在高压-超高压榴英岩的折返过程中减压分解出溶的结果,该过程同时伴随有铜铁硫化物的形成。榴英岩形成的温压条件为667～710℃、1.189～1.279 GPa,与矿物学特征所显示的压力属性相一致。榴英岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年获得两组不同的年龄数据,其中碎屑锆石的T...     

岩溶地区现代土壤与洞穴石笋中单甲基支链烷烃与烷基环己烷对比研究

利用GC-MS（气相色谱—质谱仪）,对采自湖北清江流域和尚洞洞顶的土壤样品与洞内石笋样品进行分析,发现土壤中存在的七个系列单甲基支链烷烃在所有的石笋样品中均可以找到,呈现相似的分布模式,石笋中七个系列支链烷烃有可能来自洞穴滴水携带的土壤中的支链烷烃,但是也不能排除石笋原地生长的微生物的贡献。烷基环己烷的分布在土壤与石笋中呈现了相似的分布模式,但是主峰碳数有所变化,高碳数部分与低碳数部分的相对含量也发生了变化。主要原因可能是微生物选择性降解的结果,也有可能是土壤与石笋中微生物种类分布差异所造成的。本次研究初步显示了相对封闭稳定的洞穴沉积物与上覆土壤层中生物标志化合物的异同。      

Geogenic and anthropogenic zinc in epiphytic and terricolous lichens in Finland

At 31 sites in Finland the Zn content was determined of the epiphytic lichen Hypogymnia physodes (L.) Nyl. growing on pine and birch, the terricolous lichen Cladina spp. in pine bark, and the inner part of birch bark. The anomalous contents of Zn in H. physodes on pine and Cladina spp. in soil appeared to be strongly related to sulphide ore deposits. Anthropogenic Zn correlated closely with S and Fe in H. physodes on pine and with Fe in Cladina spp. The binding of geogenic Zn was related to iron hydroxides, and was attributed to the different uptake mechanism of S in these lichens. Elevated values of Zn in H. physodes on birch were due to both geogenic and anthropogenic sources. Zinc in pine bark increased with the Zn content in H. physodes and reached a limiting value.     

Comparative urbanization in Ghana and Kenya in time and space

There are few inter-African country urban analyses because of the continent’s enormous size and socioeconomic diversity, language barriers, and wide variations in national and regional urban research capacity. Nevertheless, comparative urban studies are critical in understanding contemporary African urbanization. In this comparative spatial and temporal analysis of Ghana and Kenya’s urbanization, we find that both countries are urbanizing rapidly and are faced with many common urban problems. Moreover, Ghana is more urbanized than Kenya and has a larger indigenous urban imprint and a more widely dispersed urban pattern. Besides their physiographic and population conditions, we trace these countries’ convergent and divergent urban trends to their shared but unique experiences of colonialism, nationalism and globalization.     

Hydrogen and carbon in solid solution in oxides and silicates

The dissolution of H₂O and CO₂ in structurally dense, nominally anhydrous and non-carbonate oxide matrices such as MgO and CaO is reviewed. H₂O and CO₂ are treated as gaseous oxide components which enter into solid solution with the refractory oxide hosts. They form anion complexes associated with cation vacancy sites. Evidence is presented that OH^? pairs which derive from the dissolution of H₂O are subject to a charge transfer (CT) conversion into peroxy moieties and molecular hydrogen, O ₂ ^2? ... H₂. Because the O ₂ ^2? moiety is small (O^?-O^? distance ≈ 1.5 Å) high pressure probably favors the CT conversion. Mass spectroscopic studies show that molecular H₂ may be lost from the solid which retains excess oxygen in the form of O ₂ ^2? , leading to the release of atomic O. The dissociation of O ₂ ^2? moieties into a vacancy-bound O^? state and an unbound O^? state can be followed by measuring the internal redox reactions involving transition metal impurities, the transient paramagnetism of the O^? and their effect on the d.c. conductivity. Evidence is presented that CO₂ molecules dissolve dissociatively in the structurally dense oxide matrix, as if they were first to dissociate into CO+O and then to form separate solute moieties CO ₂ ^2? and O ₂ ^2? , both associated with cation vacancy sites. In the CO ₂ ^2? moiety (C-O^? distance 1.2–1.3 Å, OCO angle ≈ 130°) the C atom probably sits off center. The transition of the C atom into interstitial sites is accompanied by dissociation of the CO ₂ ^2? moiety into CO^? and O^?. This transition can be followed by infrared spectroscopy, using OH^? as local probes. Further support derives from magnetic susceptibility, thermal expansion, low frequency dielectric loss and low temperature deformation measurements. The recently observed emission of O and Mg atoms besides a variety of molecules such as CO, CO₂, CH₄, HCN and other hydrocarbons during impact fracture of MgO single crystals is presented and discussed in the light of the other experimental data.     

Temporal and spatial variations in water discharge and sediment load in the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi Rivers in Himalaya, India

The Alaknanda and Bhagirathi Rivers originate in the mountainous regions of the Himalayas (Garhwal) and result in high sediment yields causing flood hazards downstream of the Ganga River and high sediment flux to the Bay of Bengal. The rivers are perennial, since runoff in these rivers is controlled by both precipitation and glacial melt. In the present study, three locations in the upper reaches of the Ganga River were monitored for 1 yr (daily observations of, more than >1000 samples) for suspended sediment concentrations. In addition, more than one hundred samples were collected from various locations of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi Rivers at different periods to observe spatial and temporal variations in river suspensions. Further, multi-annual data (up to 40 yrs) of water flow and sediment concentrations were used for inferring the variations in water flow and sediment loads on longer time scales. In most previous studies of Himalayan Rivers, there has been a general lack of long term water flow and sediment load data. In the present study, we carried out high frequency sampling, considered long term discharge data and based on these information, discussed the temporal and spatial variations in water discharge and sediment loads in the rivers in the Himalayan region. The results show that, >75% of annual sediment loads are transported during the monsoon season (June through September). The annual physical weathering rates in the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi River basins at Devprayag are estimated to be 863 tons km⁻² yr⁻¹ (3.25 mm yr⁻¹) and 907 tons km⁻² yr⁻¹ (3.42 mm yr⁻¹) respectively, which are far in excess of the global average of 156 tons km⁻² yr⁻¹ (0.58 mm yr⁻¹).     

Discovery of Cinnabar in Soils in Hg Anomalous Zones in City and Town Areas and Their Surroundings and Its Significance

As a result of systematic study on heavy minerals in soils at city and town areas and their surroundings,cinnabar was discovered for the first time in areas of Hg anomalies in China, and it was found that the distribution of cinnabar was basically coincident in scope with that of Hg anomalies, showing that Hg anomalies were‘closely related to cinnabar. This finding provides a theoretical basis for a verification of Hg anomalies in soils in city and town areas and their surroundings, as well as evaluation of its ecological effects, and is significant to revealing the occurrence modes and origin of Hg in soils.     

Regional gravity survey and application in oil and gas exploration in China

Ground gravity survey for regional structure unit delineation and oil and gas exploration in China is addressed in this paper with examples. Gravity survey scales, coverage, technical regulations and achievements at the national level are introduced, including data processing and anomaly interpretation techniques. Bouguer anomalies of terrestrial territories of China and classification of anomalous feature zones are also described; they are well correlated with lithotectonical boundaries, fault zones, and unexposed igneous plutons. Recent study results of petroliferous sedimentary basins are presented as well, including concealed boundaries and major structures of large basins. It is concluded that gravity survey is the most effective and economic method in unveiling unexposed and deep-seated structures, targeting and delineating oil and gas-bearing sedimentary basins, and locating main trap structures within prolific basins in early stage of exploration in China. Suggestions for improving exploration of both conventional and unconventional oil and gas reservoirs in China are also given in the paper.     

Re-Os and Pd-Ag systematics in Group IIIAB irons and in pallasites

Using improved analytical techniques, which reduce the Re blanks by factors of 8 to 10, we report new Re-Os data on low Re and low PGE pallasites (PAL-anom) and IIIAB irons. The new pallasite samples nearly double the observed range in Re/Os for pallasites and allow the determination of an isochron of slope 0.0775 ± 0.0008 (T = 4.50 ± 0.04 Ga, using the adjusted λ¹⁸⁷Re = 1.66 × 10⁻¹¹ a⁻¹) and initial (¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os)₀ = 0.09599 ± 0.00046. If the data on different groups of pallasites (including the “anomalous” pallasites) are considered to define a whole-rock isochron, their formation would appear to be distinctly younger than for the iron meteorites by ∼60 Ma. Five IIIAB irons (Acuna, Bella Roca, Chupaderos, Grant, and Bear Creek), with Re contents ranging from 0.9 to 2.8 ppb, show limited Re/Os fractionation and plot within errors on the IIAB iron meteorite isochron of slope 0.07848 ± 0.00018 (T = 4.56 ± 0.01 Ga) and initial (¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os)₀ = 0.09563 ± 0.00011. Many of the meteorites were analyzed also for Pd-Ag and show ¹⁰⁷Ag enrichments correlated with Pd/Ag, requiring early formation and fractionation of the FeNi metal, in a narrow time interval, after injection of live ¹⁰⁷Pd (t_1/2 = 6.5 Ma) into the solar nebula. Based on Pd-Ag, the typical range in relative ages of these meteorites is ≤10 Ma. The Pd-Ag results suggest early formation and preservation of the ¹⁰⁷Pd-¹⁰⁷Ag systematics, both for IIIAB irons and for pallasites, while the younger Re-Os apparent age for pallasites suggests that the Re-Os system in pallasites was subject to re-equilibration. The low Re and low PGE pallasites show significant Re/Os fractionation (higher Re/Os) as the Re and PGE contents decrease. By contrast, the IIIAB irons show a restricted range in Re/Os, even for samples with extremely low Re and PGE contents. There is a good correlation of Re and Ir contents. The correlation of Re and Os contents for IIIAB irons shows a similar complex pattern as observed for IIAB irons (Morgan et al., 1995), and neither can be ascribed to a continuous fractional crystallization process with uniform solid-metal/liquid-metal distribution coefficients.     

Trends in Analytical Developments and Earth Science Applications in LA-ICP-MS and LA-MC-ICP-MS for 2004 and 2005

This review of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry includes research that employed quadrupole instruments, and single-collector and multicollector magnetic sector field instruments. The most important trend in 2004–2005 was the growing appreciation that small matrix effects in LA-(MC)-ICP-MS need to be addressed in order to produce highly precise and accurate data by the method. The issue is most acute for isotope ratio measurements that require standard-sample-standard bracketing but can also be important for certain elemental analysis. Matrix-dependent elemental and isotopic fractionations were studied from the standpoint of laser-sample interactions and the behaviour of laser-generated particles in the ablation cell, transfer tubing and ICP torch. Innovations in LA-(MC)-ICP-MS involved signal smoothing, in torch laser ablation, on-line isotope dilution and molecular oxide monitoring. Other important research was carried out on the calibration and homogeneity of various reference materials; and the exploration of mature ( in situ U-Pb geochronology) and emerging (apatite fission-track chronometry, U-Th/He thermochronology, boron/strontium/uranium-series isotopic microanalysis) applications in the Earth sciences.
