Geochronological constraints on the emplacement history of an anorthosite — rapakivi granite suite: U−Pb zircon and baddeleyite study of the Korosten complex,Ukraine

U–Pb zircon/baddeleyite ages obtained for the Korosten anorthosite-rapakivi granite complex, Ukrainian shield, suggest that different magmatic phases were emplaced during a period of ca. 30 million years as a series of distinct igneous episodes. The earliest 1789.1±2.0 Ma anorthosites were followed by 1781.3±3.2 Ma dykes of plagiogranite porphyries. The emplacement of a major rapakivi granite phase took place at 1767.4±2.2 Ma, and was followed by emplacement of layered intrusions of anorthosites, gabbronorites, diabases and ultrabasic rocks between 1761 and 1758 Ma. The minimum duration of magmatism of about 30 million years, the 6–15 million years interval between igneous pulses, and alternation of discrete episodes of basic and felsie magmatism are common features of major anorthositemangerite-charnockite-rapakivi granite complexes. Temporal distribution of igneous activity in the Korosten complex shows that the gabbro-anorthosites and the granites are not comagmatic, although they are possibly cogenetic, and that at least four portions of granitic and basic magmas were generated during a relatively long period of at least 30 million years. The time gap of about 20–25 million years between early basic and later and more voluminous granitic magmatism, characteristic of the Korosten pluton, Wiborg and Salmi batholiths, probably reflects the duration of extensional processes before the generation of large volumes of magma in the lower crust.

带电α卡找矿法及其特点

带电α卡找矿法是铀矿普查中继α卡找矿法后发展起来的一种测氡找矿法。文章介绍了带电α卡找矿法原理及其在铀矿床上的试验结果,带电α卡找矿法比自然α卡找矿法具有更高的测氡灵敏度,并且卡上α强度与杯中氡浓度有良好的线性关系。自从J·W·卡特等人提出用α卡法找铀矿后,近年来国内外均在进行这一方面的试验或用于找铀矿。我们根据氡的短寿子体在初始态呈正离子,可以被电场加速漂移的特点,试验了“带电α卡”找铀矿的方法。“带电α卡”即是将α卡带电,形成一电场。由于电场的作用,使α卡比正常条件下能吸附更多的氡短寿子体,使α卡上的α强度相对增高,从而提高了α卡的测氡灵敏度。我们将一般条件下金属薄膜对氡短寿子体的吸附称为“自然吸附”(此时的α卡称为“自然α卡”或“α卡”以区别于带电α卡)。将电场作用下金属薄膜对氡短寿子体的吸附称为“电场吸附”。显然有电场吸附作用叠加时将比纯自然吸附作用强。自1981年以来,我们对带电α卡找矿法的原理,装置,野外找矿方法及其效果等力面进行了试验研究。用带电α卡法找铀矿时,α卡用镀铝聚脂薄膜制成,将α卡挂在塑料杯(容器)中,加上负300伏电压。然后将整个装置倒置在测点探坑中(见图1)。六小时后取出α卡,用辐射仪测量卡上α强度,则卡上α强度将与测点的氡浓度有关。     

THE INFLUENCE OF HORIZONTALLY NON-UNIFORM HEATING UPON THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG CONVECTIVE MESOSCALE DISTURBANCES

It is shown by observational data and synoptic analysis that the development of strong convective echo is influenced by the horizontally non-uniform heating, such as the one caused by lake-land distribution. In this paper, a simple linear cell-convection model is established using an appropriate heating field, and the instability of heating convection is theoretically studied. It is found that the heating convection development will be unstable if the heating-caused temperature gradient dT0/dy is greater than the critical value (dT0/dy)c which is approximately 0.64℃/10 km, and that the development of convective band has a preferred width of 12.5 km. It will take 25 min for the initial disturbance to increase intensity by 10 times. All these results are in rather good agreement with the squall line process in the lake-land region of Jiangsu Province on June 8, 1979.     

浙江冰雹天气与边界层辐合的关系

通过七次冰雹天气过程的分析,发现浙江地区大范围降雹过程之前,对流层中下层并不一定有大尺度辐合和上升运动,而是与边界层辐合却有着十分密切的关系.降雹前,边界层中都有辐合线存在,与此相应,有较强的质量和水汽通量辐合.无辐合线,则无大范围的冰雹天气发生.冰雹区的水汽通量散度垂直分布有明显特点,水汽辐合多集中于边界层内,辐合最大值在950百帕附近,850百帕以上辐合很小,甚至是辐散.还发现边界层辐合的强度与冷锋位置有关.

In this paper, a simple linear cell-convection model is established using an appropriate heating field, and the instability of heating convection is theoretically studied. It is found that the heating convection development will be unstable if the heating-caused temperature gradientdT ₀/dy is greater than the critical value (dT ₀/dy) _c which is approximately 0.64°C/10 km, and that the development of convective band has a preferred width of 12.5 km. It will take 25 min for the initial disturbance to increase intensity by 10 times.

The origin of basaltic rocks in Niutoushan area— high pressure differentiation

The Niutoushan basaltic cone, consisting of subalkali (quartz-tholeiite and olivine-tholeiite) and alkali basalts, is Late Tertiary in age. Its major characteristics are generalized as follows:

1. Both early subalkali and late alkali bali basalts are formed under the same geological environment.
2. The continuity in chemical composition from subalkali to alkali and the low FeO/MgO in alkali basalts show that they are the products of cognate magmatic differentiation.
3. The change from low REE abundance and weak enrichment of LREE in subalkali to high REE abundance and strong enrichment of LREE in alkali basalts indicates obvious REE enrichment and fractionation during magmatic differentiation. Weak positive Eu anomalies in the REE patterns are indicative of their formation under low oxygen fugacity conditions.
4. According to the calculated values, 70–75% of the primary olivine tholeiitic magma had been separated as subalkaline basaltic magma, the rest residual magma became alkaline basaltic magma. This result is consistent to the field observation that the outcrop area of subalkali basalts is four times as much as that of alkali basalts.
5. The basaltic rocks of Niutoushan show an S-type distribution straddling the thermal barrier on Ol′-Ne′-Qu′ diagram and an evolution tendency for Ne to increase with increasing FeO/MgO. This is in agreement with the melting experimental data on olivine basalts at 10–20 kb.
6. Mantle-derived inclusions (spinel lherzolite) in this area occur in both alkali olivine basalts and olivine tholeiites. The latter is of extremely rare occurrence. The formation temperature and pressure of the inclusions in alkalibasalts and olivine tholeiites have been calculated. The results show that the alkaline basaltic magma was separated from the subalkaline basaltic magma at about 20 kb.

Basaltic rocks in Niutoushan were formed through the so-called “high pressure differentiation”, that is, at about 20 kb the crystallization of clinopyroxene and orthpyroxene resulted in the separation of subalkaline basaltic magma from the primary olivine tholeiitic magma, and then the residue gradually became alkaline olivine basaltic magma.     

Fuzzy cluster analysis in geochemical exploration

As a classification method, cluster analysis has been widely used in geology and geochemical exploration, but sometimes the results of clustering were difficult to interpret, or missclassification of geochemically similar members into entirely different clusters might occur. The reason for this is suggested and discussed. A new technique, fuzzy clustering is introduced. Comparision of the results of fuzzy clustering with conventional clustering using a set of hypothetical data is made. An example of a practical application indicating the apparent merits of fuzzy clustering is given. This technique might show great promise when applicated to geochemical exploration problems.
