Late Mesozoic compressional to extensional tectonics in the Yiwulüshan massif,NE China and its bearing on the evolution of the Yinshan–Yanshan orogenic belt: Part I: Structural analyses and geochronological constraints

With a cratonic nucleus, the North China Craton (NCC) experienced a complex tectonic evolution with multiphase compressional and extensional events during Mesozoic times. Along the northern part of the NCC, the Yinshan–Yanshan fold and thrust belt was a typical intraplate orogen. Jurassic and Cretaceous continental sedimentation, magmatism, widespread intraplate characterize the Yinshan–Yanshan orogenic belt. The geodynamic significance of these tectonic events is still in dispute. In the western part of the Liaoning province, the Yiwulüshan massif crops out at the eastern end of the Yinshan–Yanshan orogenic belt. The Yiwulüshan massif presents an elliptical domal shape with a NE–SW striking long axis. The structural evolution of this massif brings new insights for the understanding of the Mesozoic plutonic–tectonic history of the NCC. A multidisciplinary study involving structural geology, geochronology, Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) and gravity modeling have been carried out. The presentation of the new results splits into two parts. Part I (this paper) deals with field and laboratory structural observations, and presents the main geochronological results. The AMS, gravity modeling data will be provided in a companion paper (Part II). The early compressional deformation (D₁) corresponds to a Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous southward thrusting. The subsequent deformation is related to the Early Cretaceous exhumation of the Yiwulüshan massif. A detailed structural analysis allows us to distinguish several deformation events (D₂, D₃, and D₄). The Cretaceous extensional structures, such as syntectonic plutons bounded by ductile normal faults, metamorphic core complexes, and half-graben basins are recognized in many places in East Asia. These new data from the Yiwulüshan massif constitute a link between Transbaikalia, Mongolia, North China and South China, indicating that NW–SE extensional Mesozoic tectonics occurred throughout the entire region.

Investigation of manganese tolerance and accumulation of two Mn hyperaccumulators Phytolacca americana L. and Polygonum hydropiper L. in the real Mn-contaminated soils near a manganese mine

Up to date, very few studies have examined the phytoextraction ability of hyperaccumulators in the real soils contaminated with heavy metals following the identification of the hyperaccumulators using hydroponics tests. In the present study, amended with a chemical-mobilizing agent of ethylene diamine triacetic acid (EDTA), the manganese accumulation, tolerance and the hyperaccumulating ability of two hyperaccumulators Phytolacca americana L. (Phytolaccaceae) and Polygonum hydropiper L. (Polygonaceae) proved by previous hydroponics tests were examined using pot experiments with paddy soils contaminated with Mn (1,047 ± 53 mg kg^?1) collected from one site in the vicinity of one manganese mine in Xiushan county of Chongqing, China. Results showed that the root and shoot biomass of P. americana and the chlorophyll production of P. hydropiper were significantly inhibited by EDTA treatments while the chlorophyll production of P. americana was oppositely obviously promoted by EDTA. It is noteworthy that, with or without EDTA treatment, the shoot Mn concentrations of both plant species were significantly below the hyperaccumulator threshold, indicating these two plants concealed their hyperaccumulating ability in the studied soils. Thus, further detailed studies need to be conducted to promote the metal hyperaccumulating capacity of these two plant species under comparably low Mn-contaminated soil conditions as shown in this study before the successful application of these Mn hyperaccumulators identified in laboratories to the phytoextraction of lightly or moderately Mn-contaminated agricultural soils.     

Application of the artificial bee colony algorithm-based projection pursuit method in statistical rock mass stability estimation

Because of the complexity of factors that affect rock mass stability, the design and decision-making in related engineering cannot rely solely on theoretical analysis and numerical calculation, but depend on the comprehensive judgment of experts. In pursuit of a statistical approach that may improve this disparity, an artificial bee colony algorithm-based projection pursuit (ABC-PP) method is presented for rock mass stability determination. The ABC-PP method is a powerful tool to deal with high-dimension problems, which characterize rock mass stability assessment practice. Two experiments are employed to demonstrate the efficiency of the ABC-PP method. In the first case, the state of stability is classified at two levels: stable and failed, whereas in the second case stability is classified at five levels (1–5) to test the capability of multi-level prediction of the ABC-PP method. Results show that the ABC-PP method could predict the rock mass stability accurately and may also provide the relative importance of specific controls on stability.

耿庄金矿含FeS2晶须环带重晶石巨晶的特征及成因意义

在山西耿庄金矿区含金隐爆角砾岩体的晶洞内,发现了含FeS2晶须环带重晶石巨晶,用扫描电镜、电子探针、Ｘ射线粉晶衍射等手段系统研究了重晶石及其所含FeS2晶须的矿物特征。结果表明,重晶石化学成分单一;晶体结构标准;发育完好;晶须为FeS2 Fe(Ni, Co)S2的类质同象系列。根据地质背景,结合包裹体研究成果,运用晶体生长和地球化学理论,讨论了重晶石巨晶及所含晶须的成因。认为重晶石巨晶是该区燕山期花岗岩浆活动的期后热液演化到后期阶段时,SO2-4与围岩中的钡反应而形成;所含的FeS2晶须是持续进行的火山隐爆作用所产生的大量H2S、SO2等与热液中分解出的Fe2+、Ni2+、Co2+反应而形成的;富碱、H2S溶解度增大,S2-增高有利于晶须的生长;重晶石和晶须生长的地质环境具有宏观上的一致性和具体条件的差异性。当pH值为1~8.5、lgfO2为-31~-38时,优先进入FeS2生长的优势场,形成FeS2晶须矿物。当pH值为5.5~10、lgfO2在-25~-36时形成重晶石;FeS2环带和重晶石的共生现象是两者共结晶交互生长的结果;重晶石的套叠生长和晶须环带特征,是耿庄地区隐爆作用脉动性和周期性作用的结果。耿庄含晶须重晶石巨晶,明确标示出所形成的地质条件和地质作用过程,为深入研究隐爆作用和理解该区成矿作用提供了矿物学证据。
