Geochemistry of Carboniferous Sandstones (Sardar Formation), East‐Central Iran: Implication for Provenance and Tectonic Setting

Geochemical analysis of sandstones from the Sardar Formation (from two stratigraphic successions) in east-central Iran were used for identification of geochemical characterization of sandstones, provenance and tectonic setting. Sandstones in the two lithostratigraphic successions have similar chemical compositions suggesting a common provenance. Bulk-rock geochemistry analysis of Carboniferous sandstones from Sardar Formation indicates that they are mainly quartz dominated and are classified as quartzarenites, sublitharenites and subarkoses, derived from acid igneous to intermediate igneous rocks. Discrimination function analysis indicates that the sandstones of Sardar Formation were derived from quartzose sedimentary provenance in a recycled orogenic setting. Also, major and trace elements in sandstones of Sardar Formation (e.g., K2O/Na2O vs. SiO2) indicate deposition in a stable passive continental margin (PM). Chemical index of alteration (CIA) for these rocks (> 65%) suggests a moderate to relatively high degree of weathering in the source area.     

Silurian Seismites in Hanxia, Yumen, North Qilian Mountains, and Their Tectonic Significance

The Caledonian erogenic belt of the North Qilian Mountains is an intensely active structure belt. In the process of the Late Caledonian syn-orogeny, the North Qilian-Hexi Corridor area was situated on the tectonic background of a syn-orogenic basin. In response to the orogenic process of the North Qilian Mountains, typical earthquake event deposits-seismites of the Silurian were widely distributed around Hanxia of Yumen City, the Liyuan River of Sunan County and Biandukou of Minle County. In the Hanxia area, where seismites are typically developed, clastic deposits of tidal-flat facies are the background deposits of the Hanxia Formation. The earthquake event deposits are characterized by sandy mudstone veins, synsedimentary microfractures, micro-corrugated laminations and earthquake breccias, which in turn constitute complex seismites, featuring seismic corrugation, shattering and liquefied sandy mudstone veins, auto-clastic breccias and intraclastic parabreccias. The seismites and tidal flat deposits f     

鄂尔多斯盆地东胜地区直罗组砂岩的地球化学特征与物源分析

沉积岩物源分析对揭示盆地砂体展布、物质组成、储集层性质及砂岩型铀矿床铀源等科学问题具有重要的意义。对取自鄂尔多斯盆地东北部8个钻井中的中侏罗统直罗组砂岩进行了详细的岩石学和地球化学研究,试图鉴别岩石的源区和形成的构造环境。研究表明,砂岩以中粗粒杂砂岩为主,其w(SiO₂)值及w(Al₂O₃)/w(SiO₂)值中等到较高,w(K₂O)值相对较高,Fe₂O₃、MgO、TiO₂含量较低,暗示碎屑物质的富长英质、贫镁铁质特征。Nb、Ta、Ti、P等不活动元素的强烈亏损和K、Rb、Sr、Ba等LILE的富集,共同指示源区具有明显的俯冲带的特征;而w(TFe₂O₃+MgO)-w(TiO₂)、w(TFe₂O₃+MgO)-w(Al₂O₃)/w(SiO₂)、w(Th)-w(Sc)-w(Zr)/10、w(Th)-w(Co)-w(Zr)/10等判别特征则表明砂岩源区岩石可能形成于大陆弧-活动大陆边缘环境。而且,在球粒陨石标准化分配模式中,LREE强烈富集,HREE无明显分异、有着较平坦的曲线,Eu无异常或表现为弱的正、负异常;在PAAS标准化曲线中,轻重稀土均无明显分异,仅Eu表现为明显正异常。本区直罗组砂岩与华北北缘显生宙闪长岩-花岗闪长岩有着很强的亲缘性。

Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Uraniferous Sandstones in Fault Zone,Wadi El Sahu Area,Southwestern Sinai,Egypt: Implications for Provenance,Weathering and Tectonic Setting

Paleozoic rocks in the Wadi El Sahu area are affected by many major faults in different directions. A reverse fault trending NE-SW is exposed for about 300 m of its length as it cuts through the Abu Hamata and Adedia formations on the south side of Wadi El Sahu. A secondary ascending hydrothermal solution carrying heavy metals and radioactive minerals passed through the fault plain and the surrounding fractures, forming mineralized and radioactive zone. The mineralized zone thickness ranges from 60 cm to 200 cm along the fault plain. These rocks were analyzed radiometrically using a portable gamma-ray spectrometer, chemically by employing ICP-ES and ICP-MS, as well as mineralogically by both binocular and Environmental Scanning Electron microscope. Gold content was also determined by fire assay. REE and U contents reached up to 2682 and 1216 ppm, respectively. Mineralogical investigations indicated the presence of uraninite, torbernite, autunite, sklodowskite, kasolite as uranium minerals, thorite as a thorium mineral, monazite, allanite and xenotime as REE-bearing minerals, zircon and columbite as accessory minerals, gold and nickel as precious and base metals, in addition to cassiterite, chalcopyrite, chalcocite and chrysocolla. High REE and U contents are attributed to the circulation of epigenetic U and REE-bearing hydrothermal solutions along the fault plain and its surrounding fractures. Hydrothermal alteration processes could then be confirmed by the presence of the M-type tetrad effect in the REE-patterns of the ferruginous sandstone. The non-chondritic ratio of Nb/Ta, Zr/Hf and Y/Ho in the studied sandstone may be attributed to the tetrad effect. The Ce and Eu anomaly with unusual REE-patterns was represented by the presence of conjugated M-W tetrad effects, indicating either the dual effect of hydrothermal solutions or groundwater with seawater. The results clarify that the tetrad-effects could be used as evidence for the environment of deposition and as an indication for gold mineralization.     

北羌塘盆地三叠系康南组砂岩地球化学特征及其对物源区和构造背景的制约

沉积盆地中碎屑砂岩的地球化学特征主要受物源区的制约,分析碎屑砂岩的化学成分可以揭示盆地砂岩的物源属性和构造背景。笔者对北羌塘盆地三叠系康南组碎屑砂岩进行全岩分析。样品具有高SiO2含量,K2O/Na2O值变化较大,TFe2O3+MgO含量中等。稀土元素配分模式图显示富集轻稀土元素,（La/Yb）N=3.96~9.25,平均为6.32,δEu明显负异常;δCe呈弱负异常。碱土金属元素和化学蚀变指数（CIA）以及成分变异指数（IPV）说明其源区物质较新鲜,成熟度相对较低,化学风化作用较弱-中等。此外,微量元素Th/U、La/Sc、Th/Sc等值以及TiO2-Ni、La/Th-Hf、Co/Th-La/Sc和Th/Sc-La/Sc源岩判别图解反映砂岩的物源具有长英质特征。砂岩的SiO2-K2O/Na2O、La-Th、La/Y-Sc/Cr双变量图解,La-Th-Sc、Th-Sc-Zr/10、Th-Co-Zr/10三变量图解以及Th/U、Rb/Sr等值表明北羌塘三叠系康南组碎屑砂岩的物源区构造背景以大陆岛弧为主,兼有被动大陆边缘构造背景特征。     

华北北部中元古界洪水庄组页岩地球化学特征： 物源及其风化作用

华北北部洪水庄组黑色页岩是中元古代的富有机质沉积,它可能记录了当时重要的地球化学信息。通过对洪水庄组页岩中的常量和微量元素特征的分析,研究了洪水庄组的物源及其风化作用。高Th/Sc、Al2O3/TiO2、La/Sc、La/Cr、La/Co、Th/Cr和Th/Co值,低Cr/Zr和TiO2/Zr比值,Euan值、Co/Y Ti/Zr关系和La Th Sc组成表明洪水庄组页岩物源主要为上地壳中的长英质花岗闪长岩。洪水庄组页岩的Al、Ca、Na和K组成表明其具有较高的化学蚀变指数（CIA）,同时,元素组成的化学风化作用轨迹反映了洪水庄组页岩受到钾交代作用的影响,可能导致CIA值被低估,其原始CIA值应在90以上。高的原始CIA、化学风化指数（CIW）和斜长石蚀变指数（PIA）表明洪水庄组物源区经历了强烈的化学风化作用。化学风化作用强度以及微量元素组成特征揭示了中元古代洪水庄组沉积时期可能处于温暖潮湿的气候条件,这与中元古代时期大气高CO2浓度以及华北板块古大陆当时位于低纬度地区重建的结果不谋而合。     

Lower Palar River Sediments,Southern Peninsular,India: Geochemistry,Source-Area Weathering,Provenance and Tectonic Setting

This present study describes the geochemistry of fluvial sediments of the Palar river (lower reaches), Southern Peninsular India, with an aim to evaluate their provenance, weathering and tectonic setting. The bulk sediment chemistry is influenced by grain size. The river sediments are enriched with SiO₂ and depleted in Al₂O₃, K₂O, CaO, Na₂O, MgO, P₂O₅, MnO, Fe₂O₃ as compared with UCC values. Geochemical classification indicate that the sediments are mainly arkose, wacke and shale in composition. Discriminant diagrams together with immobile element ratio plots reveal that, the Palar river sediments are mostly derived from rocks formed in an active continental margin. Additionally, the rare earth element ratios as well as chondrite-normalized REE patterns with flat HREE, LREE enrichment, and negative Eu anomalies indicate felsic rock sources. The chemical indices of alteration suggest that Palar river sediments are chemically immature and have experienced low chemical weathering effects. This is further supported by the Th/U Rb/Sr ratio and A-CN-K ternary diagram, with most of the sample data points falling close to the plagioclase-smectite line. The bivariate plot of Th/Sc versus Zr/Sc suggest a moderate recycled origin of the sediments.

柴北缘北部中吾农山构造带及邻区中吾农山群物源和构造环境:来自地球化学与锆石年代学的证据

中吾农山构造带位于南祁连地块和柴北缘欧龙布鲁克地块之间,其构造特征研究对邻区的构造演化有重要的启示意义。目前关于中吾农山构造带加里东期构造-地层-热事件的研究很少,且对于该构造带及邻区中吾农山群的物质来源和其形成的构造环境仍存在不同观点。本文对中吾农山构造带及邻区中吾农山群开展岩石学、地球化学、碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学及其微区原位Hf同位素分析,结果显示中吾农山群碎屑岩具有较低的化学蚀变指数(CIA72)和斜长石蚀变指数(PIA=50.26~68.12),较高的成分变异指数(ICV=1.21~1.58),表明成熟度较低,经历了弱-中等的化学风化、不具"沉积再循环"特征。地球化学指标(La/Sc,Th/Sc,Zr/Sc,Cr/Th,Th/Co等)和判别图解(Zr/Sc-Th/Sc和La/Sc-Co/Th)显示源岩主要为长英质岩石。锆石U-Pb年龄谱存在新元古代(0.8~1.0 Ga)和早古生代(0.4~0.45 Ga)两个主要峰值,对应ε_(Hf)(t)分别为-9.6~-3.09和-15.87~9.5,而最年轻碎屑锆石年龄为410 Ma。结合前人研究,推测中吾农山群可能形成于晚奥陶世-早泥盆世早期,而柴北缘鱼卡-沙柳河高压-超高压变质带内新元古代花岗片麻岩和早古生代滩间山蛇绿杂岩带内大陆弧型花岗岩为其主要物源,其沉积形成于早古生代活动大陆边缘-大陆岛弧环境下的弧后盆地。     

Petrography and Geochemistry of the Upper Triassic Sandstones from the Western Ordos Basin,NW China: Provenance and Tectonic Implications

Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of the Upper Triassic sandstones in the western Ordos Basin were studied to provide insight into weathering characteristics, provenance, and tectonic implications. Petrographic features show that the sandstones are characterized by low-medium compositional maturity and textural maturity. The CIA and CIW values reveal weak and moderate weathering history in the source area. The geochemical characteristics together with palaeocurrent data show that the northwestern sediments were mainly derived from the Alxa Block with a typical recycled nature, while the provenance of the western and southwestern sediments were mainly from the Qinling-Qilian Orogenic Belt. The tectonic setting discrimination diagrams signify that the parent rocks of sandstones in the western and southern Ordos Basin were mainly developed from continental island arc, which is closely related to the evolution of the Qinling-Qilian Orogenic Belt. However, the sandstones in the northwestern Ordos Basin show complex features, which may be resulted from a typical recycling process. Overall evidence from petrography, geochemistry and sedimentology, together with previous researches suggest the Kongtongshan and Helanshan areas were the southwestern and northwestern boundary of the Ordos Basin, respectively, and there was no clear boundary between the Hexi Corridor Belt and Ordos Basin, where a large, uniform sediment dispersal system developed during the Late Triassic.

北祁连永登石灰沟奥陶纪硅质岩地球化学特征及大地构造意义

北祁连造山带位于华北板块西南缘,是中一南祁连微板块与华北板块碰撞形成的加里东造山带。永登石灰沟位于北祁连东段,跨奥陶纪岛弧构造带。永登石灰沟一带奥陶系主要分布中堡群,其主要为中基性火山岩、火山碎屑岩夹硅质岩、大理岩、板岩及变质砂岩。硅质岩的沉积地球化学研究表明,与岛弧火山岩共生的硅质岩为生物成因,形成于大陆边缘盆地的构造背景。但硅质岩稀土元素特征反映其受陆源影响不明显,为远离陆源的深水盆地沉积。推测北祁连奥陶纪处于多岛洋的构造背景,北祁连奥陶纪存在宽阔、多岛的古洋盆。

为了开展钱家店铀矿床砂岩型铀矿的进一步找矿工作,对采集到的上白垩统姚家组19件砂岩样品进行了主、微量和稀土元素分析,并结合前人成果,对姚家组的沉积物源及源岩构造背景进行了探讨。结果表明,姚家组砂岩主要为长石砂岩,矿物成分主要为石英、钾长石和斜长石等;其轻重稀土比为6.96~14.66,均值为10.17;LaN/YbN为7.58~20.95,均值为11.74,说明轻稀土元素相对重稀土元素明显富集,分馏明显。稀土元素配分模式曲线高度一致,也表明姚家组砂岩具有同源性;其ICV值为0.86~2.78,平均值1.34,大部分大于1,表现为未成熟的性质,为初次旋回的沉积物;修正后的CIA均值62.5,暗示源岩经历中等化学风化作用;砂岩碎屑为近源的第一次旋回沉积物,受沉积分选和再循环作用影响不大;姚家组源岩以火山弧物质和大陆上地壳长英质物质为主,源岩主要形成于大陆边缘和大陆岛弧环境;开鲁坳陷形成于早白垩世随着古太平洋板块向欧亚板块俯冲速度的减小而在东北地区出现的北西-南东向拉张构造环境中,并接受盆地西部大兴安岭南段海西期和燕山期岩浆岩、火山岩沉积。     

大别山北缘凤凰台组砾石地球化学特征及源区构造环境

根据大别山北缘合肥盆地凤凰台组暨毛坦厂组中的榴辉岩、角闪岩、斜长片麻岩等砾石地球化学研究,SiO2含量为43.31%～57.35%,原岩主要为古橄玄武岩-玄武岩-玄武安山岩-玄武粗安岩组成的火山岩,其次为斜长岩和辉绿玢岩等侵入岩.与原始地幔相比,岩石具有LILE富集、Nb-Ta负异常槽明显、Ti强烈亏损等特征.它们可能属于一个由苦橄玄武岩、拉斑玄武岩、英安岩和流纹岩等组成的火山弧,是一个SSZ型岛弧.砾石原岩与北大别杂岩("古岛弧根带")中的镁铁-超镁铁岩带、片麻岩等有成因上的联系.砾石主要不是直接来源于现在遭受剥露的"古岛弧根带",而可能是来自上部的火山弧.     

湘东南志留纪彭公庙花岗岩体的地质地球化学特征及其构造环境

志留纪彭公庙岩体地处湘东南,岩石类型主要为黑云母花岗闪长岩、黑云母二长花岗岩、二云母二长花岗岩。各岩石单元从早至晚,w(S iO2)总体由低变高,变化在65.30%~73.42%之间;w(K2O)平均为4.34%,w(Na2O+K2O)为6.46%~8.32%,平均为7.09%;w(K2O)/w(Na2O)平均为1.58;岩石富铝,w(A l2O3)平均为14.13%。岩体总体属铁质、强过铝质高钾钙碱性花岗岩。Ba、Nb、Sr、P、Ti相对于原始地幔为负异常,Rb、(Th+U)、(La+Ce)、Nd、(Zr+H f+Sm)、(Y+Yb)等则相对富集。w(ΣREE)平均为221.85×10-6;轻稀土富集,w(La)N/w(Yb)N值平均为8.66;Eu弱亏损,δ(Eu)平均为0.53。ISr值为0.712 30~0.718 31,εSr(t)为110.7~196.1,εNd(t)为-8.0~-8.7,t2DM为1.81~1.87 Ga。上述地球化学特征表明彭公庙岩体为S型花岗岩。在C/MF-A/MF图解中,样品点部分落入基性岩区,部分落入变质碎屑岩区;在岩体氧化物比值的Harker图解中,各样点构成良好的线性关系;在w(La)/w(Sm)-w(La)图解中样品点分布散乱;酸性程度最高的晚期恩垄岩石单元的轻稀土相对富集更为明显;岩石中发育镁铁质岩浆包体等,表明彭公庙岩体具岩浆混合成因。地球化学构造环境判别图解、岩体侵位地质特征以及区域构造演化背景等表明彭公庙岩体形成于后造山构造环境。岩体各岩石单元侵位的先后次序可能与岩浆的粘度密切相关,基性程度相对较高的岩浆向上运移速度更快,因而侵位更早。     

阿尔泰晚古生代早期长英质火山岩的地球化学特征及构造背景

新疆北部哈巴河一带出露的一套晚古生代早期长英质火山岩主要由英安质—流纹质火山岩组成。其Rb-Sr等时线年龄为405±57Ma,为早泥盆世。地球化学特征显示它们具有Ti含量低,Mg#含量中等—富集(42.2~88.7),Th/Ta为8.6~16.4,低—中等Ti/Zr值(介于4.9~53.46);稀土配分型式为LREE富集,无Eu或中等的负Eu异常;且在蜘蛛网图上显示LILE富集,Nb和Ta亏损的特征。Y-Nb和Rb-(Y+Nb)构造判别图解显示这些长英质火山岩形成于岛弧环境。结合前人的研究成果,认为新疆北部哈巴河晚古生代早期长英质火山岩是在古亚洲洋北侧岛弧构造环境下形成的,是作为古亚洲洋从SW至NE方向朝西伯利亚古板块俯冲的产物。
