安徽庐枞盆地罗河铁矿床中榍石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年及其意义

罗河铁矿床位于长江中下游铁铜金成矿带庐枞矿集区,已探明资源量约10亿吨,是成矿带内最大的铁矿床。矿床主成矿阶段广泛发育热液成因榍石,以榍石-硬石膏-磷灰石组合为特征,在矿床-800~-900m和-1500~-1600m两个不同深度稳定发育,为确定成矿时代和成矿流体演化提供了良好的研究对象。本次工作对罗河铁矿床深部和浅部两层矿体中热液榍石开展了年代学及地球化学研究,结果表明榍石中存在(Al,Fe)~(3+)+(F,OH)~-=Ti~(4+)+O~(2-)置换反应,并富含Zr、Nb和REE等元素。榍石中Zr含量估算矿床成矿温度约700℃,指示玢岩型矿床比矽卡岩型铁矿床具有更高的成矿温度,高温条件有利于Ti元素的迁移。榍石的稀土元素配分图均呈现出明显右倾,并具较高的稀土元素总量以及明显的负Eu异常特征,轻稀土富集表明其结晶早于磷灰石和绿帘石等矿物,形成于高温热液环境,不同深度榍石的Eu异常变化表明成矿流体的氧逸度从深部到浅部有所升高。热液榍石原位微区LA-ICPMS U-Pb定年结果表明,上、下两层榍石形成时代分别为130.0±0.9Ma和129.1±0.8Ma~129.7±0.8Ma,表明罗河铁矿床两层矿体是同一成矿系统的在不同深度的产物。矿床成矿时代与区内隐伏闪长岩体成岩时代一致,结合矿床地质特征研究,本文认为闪长玢岩是矿床的成矿母岩。罗河铁矿床属于燕山晚期岩浆热液活动的产物,形成于区域早白垩世岩石圈减薄的环境。     

The Karoo Basin of South Africa: type basin for the coal-bearing deposits of southern Africa

The coal-bearing sediments and coal seams of the Karoo Basin, Southern Africa are described and discussed. The Karoo Basin is bounded on its southern margin by the Cape Fold Belt, onlaps onto the Kaapvaal Craton in the north and is classified as a foreland basin. Coal seams are present within the Early Permian Vryheid Formation and the Triassic Molteno Formation.The peats of the Vryheid Formation accumulated within swamps in a cool temperate climatic regime. Lower and upper delta plain, back-barrier and fluvial environments were associated with peat formation. Thick, laterally extensive coal seams have preferentially accumulated in fluvial environments. The coals are in general inertinite-rich and high in ash. However, increasing vitrinite and decreasing ash contents within seams occur from west to east across the coalfields. The Triassic Molteno coal seams accumulated with aerially restricted swamps in fluvial environments. These Molteno coals are thin, laterally impersistent, vitrinite-rich and shaly, and formed under a warm temperate climatic regime.Palaeoclimate, depositional systems, differential subsidence and basin tectonics influence to varying degrees, the maceral content, thickness and lateral extent of coal seams. However, the geographic position of peat-forming swamps within a foreland basin, coupled with basin tectonics and differential subsidence are envisaged as the primary controls on coal parameters. The Permian coals are situated in proximal positions on the passive margin of the foreland basin. Here, subsidence was limited which enhanced oxidation of organic matter and hence the formation of inertinitic coals. The coals in this tectonic setting are thick and laterally extensive. The Triassci coals are situated within the tectonically active foreland basin margin. Rapid subsidence and sedimentation rates occurred during peat formation which resulted in the preservation of thin, laterally impersistent, high ash, vitrinite-rich, shaly coals.     

临安大气气溶胶理化特性季节变化

分别利用碳成分分析仪、离子色谱仪和原子吸收光谱仪等获取浙江省临安地区大气气溶胶在春、夏、秋、冬四季的质量浓度、离子与碳成分特性,并对不同粒径气溶胶成分分布特点作了较详细分析。结果表明：气溶胶质量浓度、可溶性离子浓度以及碳成分浓度具有明显的季节变化趋势。整个尺度范围内,气溶胶质量浓度季节变化特点为春季浓度最高,达到534 μg/m3;冬季次之,质量浓度为117.21 μg/m3;夏季浓度最低,平均为65.7 μg/m3;秋季质量浓度98.6 μg/m3。可溶性离子成分在气溶胶中所占比例具有明显的季节性,其中夏季最高为49.4%,春季最低为11.3%。硫酸根离子SO42-和氨根离子NH4+和硝酸根离子NO3- 3种离子浓度之和约占离子总量的75%~83%。受温度影响,硝酸根离子NO3-浓度随季节变化幅度较大,夏季平均浓度为1.7 μg/m3, 冬季平均浓度为11.5 μg/m3,是夏季浓度的6.8倍。碳浓度分布特点显示,气溶胶中元素碳浓度春季最高,夏季最低。有机碳浓度春季最高,冬季最低。气溶胶粒度分布特点也非常明显。四季中粒径小于11 μm（PM11）的气溶胶均占气溶胶总量的90%以上,粒径小于2.1 μm（PM2.1）的气溶胶占到气溶胶总量的53%以上。可溶性离子在粒径小于2.1 μm气溶胶颗粒中,以硫酸根离子、氨根离子和硝酸根离子为主。碳成分尺度分布特征为颗粒越小,有机碳及元素碳浓度越高。     

Relationship between exchangeable cations and palaeosalinity

In Carboniferous shales a relationship has been found between exchangeable cations and palaeosalinity. In the marine shales the concentration of exchangeable Mg is higher than in shales deposited in fresh and brackish water, and the concentrations of exchangeable Ca, Na and K are lower. The same relationships have been observed in modern sediments. When the cation concentrations in the whole rock are compared with the exchangeable cation concentrations, incorporation into the sediment of K and possibly Mg in the marine environment is indicated. Furthermore, the loss of Ca and Na from the sediment can be accounted for by the loss from exchange sites. Reactions taking place during halmyrolysis would appear to be more important than those taking place during diagenesis.

Late Quaternary record of sea-level changes in the Antarctic

The Late Quaternary sediment sequence of the continental margin in the eastern Weddell Sea is well suited for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. Two cores from the upper slope, which contain the sedimentary record of the last 300 ky, have been sedimentologically investigated. Age models are based on lithostratigraphy and are correlated with the stable isotope record. As a result of a detailed analysis of the clay mineral composition, grain size distributions and structures, this sedimentary record provides the first marine evidence that the Antarctic ice sheet extended to the shelf edge during the last glacial.The variations in volume and size of the ice sheet were also simulated in numerical models. Changes in accumulation rate and ice temperature are of some importance, but the model revealed that fluctuations are primarily driven by changes in eustatic sea-level and that the ice edge extended to the shelf edge during the last glacial maximum. This causal relationship implies that the maximum ice extension strongly depends on the magnitude and duration of the sea-level depression during a glacial period. The results of the sedimentological investigations and of the numerical models show that the Antarctic ice sheet follows glacial events in the northern hemisphere by teleconnections of sea level.

A method for estimating crack-initiation stress of rock materials by porosity

Crack-initiation stress of a rock under compression is the stress level that marks the initiation of the rock microfracturing process or in other words, the onset of new damage to the rock. This paper proposed a simple methodology with justifications to explore the feasibility of using total and effective porosities as estimators of crack-initiation stress of brittle crystalline rock materials under uniaxial compression. The validity/applicability of the proposed method was examined by an experimental study of granitic materials from Malanjkhand, Madhya Pradesh. It was found that effective porosity depicts better correlation with crack-initiation stress than with uniaxial compressive strength of the granitic materials. On the other hand, total porosity does not show any perceptible correlation with uniaxial compressive strength and crack-initiation stress. Plausible reasons for the nature of the obtained results were also explained in view of rock failure process under compression. It is concluded that following the proposed method, effective porosity can be used as a physical index to obtain a quick estimate of crack-initiation stress of the investigated rocks empirically.     

黑龙江东部依兰珠山变辉长岩的年代学、地球化学及其构造意义

对黑龙江东部依兰珠山变辉长岩进行了锆石年代学和地球化学研究,以确定其形成时代、成因及构造背景。变辉长岩锆石均呈自形-半自形晶,具典型的条痕状吸收特征和较高的Th/U比值(0.20~0.86),暗示其岩浆成因。LA-ICP-MS U-Pb测年结果为(256±3)Ma,表明珠山变辉长岩形成于晚二叠世。地球化学特征显示变辉长岩具有贫硅,富镁、铁、铝、钙的特征;其轻稀土元素(LREEs)和大离子亲石元素(Rb、Ba)富集,重稀土元素(HREEs)和高场强元素(Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf和Ti)亏损。结合区域地质资料,认为珠山变辉长岩为俯冲流体交代地幔楔的产物,其形成可能与古大洋板块的俯冲作用有关,暗示佳木斯地块与松嫩地块在晚二叠世之前尚未碰撞拼合。     

Bacterial communities in Hoito Gol hot spring,Eastern Sayan,and the ecologic-geological conditions of their development

Hoito Gol hot spring of weakly mineralized warm (36–29°C) neutral and partly alkaline nitrogen-carbon dioxide waters belongs to the hydrogeological structure of the actively water-flooded fault marked by the Sentsy River at the southwestern termination of the Baikal rift system. The spatiotemporal evolution of the major parameters of the underground aqueous ecosystem of this spring is controlled mainly by geological and geodynamic factors, whereas the parameters of the surface system are determined mostly by bacterial factors. Variations in these factors are correlated with changes in the composition, structure, and spatial distribution of the bacterial communities.
