Magnetostratieraphy of the Red Beds in the Hengyang Basin

This paper discusses the Cretaceous-Tertiary magnetic polarity sequence of the the Hengyang Basin on the basis of magnetostratigraphic study. The age of each stratigraphic unit has been determined with the magnetic polarity time scale combined with 39Ar/40Ar dating, thus providing evidence for determining the geological ages of different formations. The authors assign the age of the Dongjing Formation of the Hengyang Basin to Early Cretaceous, the Shenhuangshan Formation to Early-Late Cretaceous, the Daijiaping Formation to Late Cretaceous, and the Dongtang and Xialiushi formations to Palaeocene.     

Fluid Inclusion Geochemistry of Metallic Ore Deposits in the South- Central Sector of theDa Hinggan Mountains in China

Physicochemical parameters of mineralization such as temperature, pressure, salinity, density, composition and boiling of ore fluids as well as pH, Eh, fo2 and reducing parameter in theprocess of mineralization of major ore deposits in the study district have been obtained by the authors through systematic observation and determination of characteristics and phase changes of fluid inclusions at different temperatures and analysis of gaseous and liquid phase compositions of the inclusions, thus providing a scientific basis for the division of mineralization-alteration stages, types of mineral deposits and minerogenetic series and the deepening of the knowledge about the ore-forming processes and mechanisms of mineral deposits. It is indicated that the deposits of the same type have similar fluid inclusion geochemical features and physicochemical parameters though they belong to different minerogenetic series, while the compositions of inclusions are not conditioned by deposit types but closely related to     

辽西中生代花岗岩中锆石的地球化学演化特征及其地质意义

文中论述了辽西中生代花岗岩中锆石富∑REE、Mo,低Zr/Hf的成分特点。随岩浆演化,岩体由早侵入期次到晚侵入期次,锆石的Hf、∑REE、Th、U含量递增,Zr/Hf递减的演化规律明显。晚世代锆石较早世代更富含成矿元素(Mo)、稀土、放射性元素。指出锆石中成矿元素Mo的浓集,并伴随着Hf、∑REE、Th、U元素含量的相对增高,可作为岩体潜在成矿(Mo)的一种重要标志。锆石的矿物地球化学特征为区内花岗岩成因类型的划分提供了依据。     

我国北方前寒武区域变质岩区变质作用对镁铁云母成分的影响

辽宁鞍山、冀东、密云和内蒙古地区镁铁云母的寄主岩石类型有变沉积岩和变火山岩。其镁铁云母的Al_2O_3含量和Mg/(Mg+Fe~(2+))比值随寄主岩石类型不同而有明显的差异。而在同类寄主岩石中,镁铁云母的成分,特别是Mg/(Mg+Fe~(2+))比值,则随变质作用强度而出现规律性的变化。 研究表明,从鞍山-冀东-密云、内蒙古、变质作用强度(主要是温度)升高;在翼东水厂矿区,从南至北,变质作用强度也有增加的趋势。镁铁云母成分可为变质岩区的地层对比、确定构造形迹和找矿提供有益的信息。     

研究超镁铁岩中八面体假象蛇纹石和绿泥石的地质意义

继1981年首次报导八面体假象蛇纹石之后,在同一超镁铁岩中又发现了一些八面体假象含铬绿泥石,后者是交代前者的产物。通过研究我们认为:1)八面体假象绿泥石中的Al、Cr等元素来自铬铁矿石;2)和八面体假象蛇纹石一样,八面体假象绿泥石的最初原生矿物也应为γ一橄榄石,后者的形成压力为140×10~8Pa(140Kb),相当于500公里的深度;3)包有八面体假象蛇纹石和绿泥石的铬铁矿可能是一种直接来自深部地慢的铬铁矿类型;4)藏北岩带的两处(安多和阿里地区)超镁铁岩中出现八面体假象矿物说明藏北超镁铁岩带(或岩带的几处超镁铁岩)形成的构造环境可能深于藏南超镁铁岩带。     

山东山旺盆地中新世两个蚂蚁新属（Heteromyrmex Zhang,1989和Tolylasius Zhang,1989）的修正

1989年,张俊峰发表了山东山旺盆地中新世（N2）2个蚂蚁新属新种：Heteromyrmex atopogaster Zhang,1989和Tolylasius inflatus Zhang,1989。经检验,前一个属是基于不实的观察结果,新属、种应予废除,作为未定属种归人蚁亚科（Formicinae);后一个属的建属根据都非建属的根据,其他的特征系毛蚁属（Lasius)的属征范围,没有建属条件,属应予废,保留其种,转移到毛蚁属。     

北京十三陵地区中—新元古界碳酸盐岩Pb—Pb年龄研究

对北京十三陵地区中一新元古界碳酸盐岩进行了系统地采样和207pb/204pb-206Pb/204Pb年龄测定.共测定了63个样品(大部分样品采取两种溶解方式),得到中元古界雾迷山组第三段的207Pb/204pb-206Pb/204pb等时线年龄为1373±92Ma(95%置信度误差,下同,MSWD＝4.7),杨庄组为1488±55Ma(MSWD＝14),高于庄组第三段为1608±74Ma(MSWD＝8.1).这些年龄数据与目前已有地质记录相吻合.串岭沟组的碳酸盐相的206Pb/204Pb-207Pb/204Pb未构成等时线,但全岩的206Pb/204pb-207Pb/204Pb比碳酸盐相具有更明显的线性趋势,其原因尚待进一步研究.另外,根据同一个样品用稀盐酸溶解和用氢氟酸加硝酸混合酸溶解的铅同位素比值的接近的现象,显示碳酸盐岩中的硅质没有陆源的特征,是沉积盆地中的产物.     

Subduction of Continental Crust in the Early Palaeozoic North Qaidam Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphic Belt, NW China:Evidence from the Discovery of Coesite in the Belt

Coesite was discovered as inclusions in zircon separates from pelitic gneiss associated with a large eclogite body in the North Qaidam ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) terrane. Some graphite inclusions were also found. This finding suggested the occurrence of in-situ UHP metamorphism and that the terrane was most likely recrystallized at pressures below the diamond stability field. It supported other previous indirect UHP evidence, such as polycrystalline quartz inclusions in eclogitic garnet, quartz lamellae in omphacite and P-T estimates for both eclogite and garnet peridotite. The U-Pb and Sm-Nd ages of the North Qaidam eclogite indicated that subduction of continental crust occurred in the Early Palaeozoic, which probably recorded a collision between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze plates.     

On Continent-Continent Point-Collision and Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphism

Up to now it is known that almost all ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism of non-impact origin occurred in continent-continent collisional orogenic belt, as has been evidenced by many outcrops in the eastern hemisphere. UHP metamorphic rocks are represented by coesite- and diamond-bearing eclogites and eclogite facies metamorphic rocks formed at 650-800℃ and 2.6-3.5 GPa, and most of the protoliths of UHP rocks are volcanic-sedimentary sequences of continental crust. From these it may be deduced that deep subduction of continental crust may have occurred. However, UHP rocks are exposed on the surface or occur near the surface now, which implies that they have been exhumed from great depths. The mechanism of deep subduction of continental crust and subsequent exhumation has been a hot topic of the research on continental dynamics, but there are divergent views. The focus of the dispute is how deep continental crust is subducted so that UHP rocks can be formed and what mechanism causes it to be subducte     

A Report on a Biotite-Calcic Hornblende Geothermometer

This paper presents a biotite-calcic hornblende geothermometer which was empirically calibrated based on the gamet-biotite geothermometer and the gamet-plagioclase-hornblende-quartz geobarometer, in the ranges of 560-800℃ (T) and 0.26-1.4 GPa (P) using the data of metadolerite, amphibolite, metagabbro, and metapelite collected from the literature. Biotite was treated as symmetric Fe-Mg-AlVI-Ti quaternary solid solution, and calcic hornblende was simplified as symmetric Fe-Mg binary solid solution. The resulting thermometer may rebuild the input garnet-biotite temperatures well within an uncertainty of ±50℃. Errors of ±0.2 GPa for input pressure, along with analytical errors of ?% for the relevant mineral compositions, may lead to a random error of ±16℃ for this thermometer, so that the thermometer is almost independent of pressure estimates. The thermometer may clearly discriminate different rocks of lower amphibolite, upper amphibolite and granulite facies on a high confidence level. It is assume
