平度市新河铁矿地质特征及找矿远景

平度市新河铁矿处于莱州-安丘铁成矿带中部,矿床赋存于古元古代粉子山群小宋组二段含铁岩系中,属沉积变质型铁矿床。通过地质勘查,矿区内圈定3个铁矿体。该文以此为基础,对矿床地质特征及矿区找矿远景进行浅析,以利于矿山下一步找矿工作的开展。     

新疆东准乌须克劳格岩体LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素特征及其地质意义

新疆东准噶尔琼河坝地区近年来找矿获得重大突破,发现了一系列重要的矿产,这些矿产基本上围绕该地区出露面积最大的乌须克劳格岩体分布。该岩体组成比较复杂,主要岩性为二长花岗岩和花岗闪长岩。采用LA-ICP-MS技术测得花岗闪长岩和二长花岗岩锆石~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄分别为428.9±1.9Ma和427.2±1.7Ma,被解释为岩石的结晶年龄。2类岩石都属于过铝质-钙碱性系列花岗岩,具有较高的铝、钙含量,K_2O/Na_2O值普遍偏低,介于0.15~0.40之间;稀土元素配分曲线呈现右倾特征,稀土元素总量较低,轻稀土元素相对富集,负Eu异常不明显;在微量元素原始地幔标准化蛛网图上,高场强元素Th、Nb、Ta、P、Ti等相对亏损,大离子亲石元素Rb、Ba、U、K、Sr等相对富集,具有高Ba、Sr含量和高(La/Yb)_N、Sr/Y值,显示出高Ba-Sr花岗岩的特征;同时岩体具有高正ε_(Hf)(t)值和年轻的模式年龄。这些地球化学和同位素特征表明,晚志留世乌须克劳格岩体是大陆边缘弧环境下大洋板片熔融的产物。     

天水盆地新近纪伸展构造——来自沉积与构造变形方面的证据

天水盆地位于青藏高原东北缘高海拔挤压隆升区与鄂尔多斯低海拔伸展区的过渡部位,新构造活动强烈。然而,新构造活动对天水盆地的影响尚不清楚。通过对盆地的沉积环境、构造沉降、构造变形等方面的研究,结果显示:1盆地由风成堆积、洪积扇、河湖相与湖泊相沉积组成,代表沉积中心的河湖相与湖泊相沿控盆断裂(西秦岭北缘断裂、西和断裂与礼县-罗家堡断裂)分布;2盆地经历了16~14Ma、9.2~7.4Ma和3.6~2.6Ma三次加速沉降期;3控盆断裂在同沉积期为正断层。沉积中心沿断裂分布、快速沉降事件及生长正断层表明,天水盆地至少在中新世晚期受控于走滑伸展构造,记录了青藏高原向北东方向的构造挤出作用。     

Provenance Study of Fe–Ti Oxide Minerals in the Quaternary Sediments in Yichang Area and Its Implication of Formation Time of the Yangtze Three Gorges, China

The Three Gorges are considered to be critical to understand the formation of Yangtze River. Recent research results suggest that the Yangtze Three Gorges was created during the Quaternary but the exact time is debatable. Fe–Ti oxide minerals are seldom used to study sediment provenance, expecially using scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS). In this study, the provenance of Quaternary sediments in Yichang area, which is located to the east of the Yangtze Three Gorges, was investigated by using SEM and EDS to research Fe–Ti oxides. The Panzhihua vanadium titanomagnetite and Emeishan basalt outcrop are located to the west of the Three Gorges. Further, the materials from them are observed in the Quaternary sediments of Yichang area. Fe–Ti oxide minerals from the Huangling granite are observed in the Yunchi and Shanxiyao Formations, which were formed before 0.75 Ma B.P., whereas Fe–Ti oxide minerals from the Huangling granite, Panzhihua vanadium titanomagnetite, and Emeishan basalt are observed in the riverbed and fifth-terrace sediments of the Yangtze River, which were formed after 0.73 Ma B.P.. Thus, we can infer that the Three Gorges formed after the deposition of the Shanxi Formation and before the fifth-terrace; i.e., 0.75–0.73 Ma B.P..
