Epithermal deposits in North Xinjiang, NW China

The North Xinjiang region (NW China) is an important part of the Central Asia Orogenic Belt, situated at the junction of Siberia, Tarim and Kazakhstan plates. It is an area characterized by multiple stages of Phanerozoic continental growth, during which several porphyry and epithermal systems were formed. The relationship of these mineral systems to the geodynamic evolution of the region has not yet been well understood. In this paper, we list the main geological characteristics of 21 significant epithermal precious and base metal deposits in North Xinjiang, and classify them into high-sulfidation and low-sulfidation styles, with the latter being predominant. We have selected seven epithermal deposits representing different styles formed under different tectonic regimes and discuss their geology and geochemistry in some detail. The deposit-scale geology and geochemistry of epithermal systems in North Xinjiang are essentially similar to those in other parts of the world. All epithermal deposits in North Xinjiang are hosted in volcanic rocks with ages ranging from Devonian to Triassic, with the Early Carboniferous volcanic sequences being the most important, followed by the Permian and Triassic. The Devonian–Early Carboniferous host rocks belong to the calc-alkaline series that developed in pre-collisional arc-back-arc basin systems; whereas the Permian–Triassic host volcanic rocks of shoshonite series formed in post-subduction regimes. Available isotopic ages of these epithermal systems cluster in two periods: Early Carboniferous (>320?Ma) and Late Carboniferous–Triassic (320–220?Ma), reflecting two metallogenic episodes that occurred during subduction-related accretion and post-subduction collision regimes, respectively. Accordingly, three groups of epithermal deposits in North Xinjiang can be recognized as (1) pre-collisional deposits without or with negligible collisional-related modification, (2) deposits formed in collision regime and (3) ore systems strongly overprinted by fluid flow in post-subduction collision regime.     

峨眉山玄武岩与铅锌矿床成矿关系初探—以云南会泽铅锌矿床为例

本文以云南会泽铅锌矿为例，从成矿时代、成矿物来源、成矿流体来源和成矿热动力等方面初步讲座主峨眉山玄武岩与铅锌矿床成矿的关系。结果表明：矿床成矿时代可能与峨眉山玄武岩岩浆活动时代相近；峨眉山玄武岩在成矿过程中提供了部分成矿物质；伴随峨眉山玄武岩岩浆活动过程去气作用（包括地幔去气作用和岩浆去气作用）形成的流体参与了会泽铅锌矿成矿流体的形成；峨眉山玄武岩岩浆活动为成矿热动力的主要来源。     

腾冲新生代火山作用构造—岩浆类型的探讨——一种滞后型的弧火山

腾冲火山群是我国著名的新生代火山群之一。它共分4个喷发期,根据K—Ar同位素地质年龄测定,第一期为2.93Ma,第二期为0.81Ma,第三期为0.31Ma,第四期为0.13Ma。该火山群为典型的钙碱性系列玄武岩—安山岩—英安岩弧火山岩组合。它喷发于晚上新世—晚更新世,但这一时期腾冲地区已为大陆板内环境,它可能与K₂末怒江洋壳俯冲作用有关。因此,腾冲弧火山岩的形成至少在俯冲作用停止以后60Ma,属于一种新的火山作用类型——碰撞后弧火山或滞后型弧火山。     

市场经济体制执行地质勘探规范的有关问题讨论

市场经济体制下地质勘探工作的资金投入一般要由开采单位负担,而这部分资金属于前期投入,需要贷款来解决,现行的地质勘探规范已难适应地质工作的需要。在有一定工作基础的中小型矿山地质勘探工作中,对矿体的控制、水文地质、矿石可选性试验等工作程度,高级储量比例,勘查周期等方面,宜根据实际情况,合理的加以确定。

末前寒武系年代地层研究:问题,进展与建议

在讨论当前全球末前寒武系和中国震旦系年代地层划分中存在问题的基础上 ,根据三峡地区震旦纪和寒武纪生物地层学、层序地层学和年代地层学的综合研究 ,作者认为 :( 1 )中国传统的震旦系底界和后来建立的陡山沱阶和灯影峡阶的底界是不合适的 ,前者位于不整合面上 ,而后二者的底界分别位于相对动荡的低位域的开始和由海退所形成的高位域的开始 ,不仅横向变化大 ,而且很难保存和发现可供对比的生物和化学标志。 ( 2 )建议将中国震旦系的底界上移到陡山沱组第 2段近底部 ,即靠近陡山沱组第 2段黑色页岩与第 1段灰白色白云岩之间的界线 ,以出现分异度高、个体较大、构造复杂的疑源类为标志 ,该界面与南沱冰期后所形成的海侵生物面基本一致 ;同时主张将原灯影峡阶的底界要么下移到陡山沱组第 4段产庙河生物群的黑色页岩底部 ,要么上移到灯影组产文德生物群的石板滩段黑色页岩夹炭质灰岩底部 ,因为这两个界面分别与南沱冰期后形成的层序 2和层序 3的最大海泛面基本一致。 ( 3)根据同位素年代学研究 ,指出陡山沱组第 4段 ,即庙河生物群的 Rb-Sr等时线年龄为 ( 6 85± 9) Ma,而水井沱组底部含三叶虫的黑色页岩的 Rb-Sr等时线年龄为 ( 5 30± 8) Ma     

伊拉克哈勒法耶油田Mishrif组滩相储层特征及其成因分析

伊拉克哈勒法耶油田Mishrif组滩相储层发育,是研究区内最主要的产油层位。利用岩心、薄片、测井资料对Mishrif组沉积相进行了研究,结果表明该组发育局限台地、开阔台地、台内洼地和台地边缘4种沉积相,滩相储层主要发育在开阔台地和台地边缘相带。并综合利用铸体薄片、物性实验数据及压汞曲线等资料对滩相储层特征和成因进行了分析。滩相储层岩石类型多样,发育生屑灰岩、生屑泥粒/粒泥灰岩、砂屑灰岩等多种岩石类型,岩石颗粒较粗。孔隙类型多样,主要以铸模孔、粒间孔、溶孔和体腔孔为主,其中以粒间孔和铸模孔发育最为广泛。各类滩相储层孔隙度较高,渗透率差异明显,平均渗透率为(2.35~139.17)×10~(-3)μm~2。整体孔隙结构较好,排驱压力较低,大喉道较为发育。滩相储层发育受沉积环境控制和成岩作用改造程度影响,有利的沉积条件是滩相储层原生孔隙发育的基础,同生期溶蚀作用的改造形成大量次生孔隙,从而提高了储层的储集性能。     

地震波阻抗约束下的储层地质建模方法与实践

以地质统计学为基础的三维地质建模技术已成为当今储层精细描述中的一项关键技术,但该项技术存在着一个最大的限制就是对硬数据的密度要求十分苛刻,因而多用于井网密度大的已开发区的储层精细描述。而在勘探区块,多采用地震属性资料作为软约束,来弥补资料不足的缺陷。本文以我国海上某油田为例,探讨了应用地震反演资料约束三维储层建模的几种方法,并提出"多条件、多级约束"的建模策略。研究表明,有效地应用包括地震信息在内的多学科信息进行岩相随机建模,能有效地弥补井间信息不足的缺陷,降低地质模型的不确定性,所建立的模型能很好地综合井资料的纵向高精度和地震资料的横向高精度信息,可以成功地应用三维随机建模技术解决勘探开发阶段的储层精细描述问题。     

Tag-encoded pyrosequencing analysis of bacterial diversity within different alpine grassland ecosystems of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,China

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is sensitive to climate change, with ecosystems that are important with respect to scientific research. Here high-throughput DNA pyrosequencing was used to assess bacterial diversity within different alpine grassland ecosystems of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China. In total, 34,759 sequences were obtained for the three ecosystems––alpine cold swamp meadow (ASM), alpine cold meadow (AM), alpine sandy grassland (ASG), and 31 phyla and a small number of unclassified bacteria were detected. The bacterial community structures were different for each alpine grassland ecosystem. The Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria were the predominant phyla in all three ecosystems. Besides this, Actinobacteria and Chloroflexi were abundant in ASM, Bacteroidetes, Gemmatimonadetes and Verrucomicrobia were abundant in AM, and Actinobacteria were abundant in ASG. In addition, the functional bacterial genera also differed with each alpine grassland ecosystem. The ASM contained more nitrifying bacteria, methane-oxidizing bacteria and sulfur- and sulfate-reducing bacteria, whereas the ASG ecosystem contained more nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Pyrosequencing provided a greater insight into bacterial diversity within different alpine grassland ecosystems than previously possible, and gave key data for the involvement of bacteria in the protection of alpine grassland ecosystems of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China.
