Jurassic Hornblende Gabbros in Dongga, Eastern Gangdese, Tibet: Partial Melting of Mantle Wedge and Implications for Crustal Growth

The Gangdese batholith, more than 2500 km in length, is composed mainly of JurassicMiocene igneous rocks. This batholith is one of the most important constituents of the Tibetan orogenesis and provides an ideal place for study of Neo-Tethyan ocean geodynamic evolution and plateau uplift. Recent studies on the Gangdese Jurassic felsic magmatism highlight its juvenile source. However, important aspects concerning the genesis of the juvenile magmatism and related deep geodynamic evolution are still unclear. Here, we report detailed petrological, geochronological, geochemical, whole-rock Sr-Nd isotopic, and in situ Sr-Hf isotopic data for a recently identified hornblende gabbro in the Dongga area, southern Lhasa sub-block. This hornblende gabbro is dominated by hornblende and plagioclase, dated at Early Jurassic(ca. 180–190 Ma), and characterized by a narrow compositional range in SiO_2(49.38wt%–52.27wt%), MgO(4.08wt%–7.00wt%), FeO(10.43wt%–11.77wt%), Na_2O(2.58wt%–3.51wt%), and K_2O(0.48wt%–1.53wt%). It has depleted isotopic signatures, with whole-rock(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)i ratios of 0.7033–0.7043, ε_(Nd)(t) values of +4.90 to +6.99, in situ plagioclase(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)i ratios of 0.7034–0.7042, and zircon ε_(Hf)(t) of +12.2 to +16.8. Our results integrated with published data suggest a model of Gangdese juvenile crustal growth by a subduction-related water-enriched mantle wedge. The hydrous partial melting of the lithosphere mantle was triggered by the dehydration of a Neo-Tethyan oceanic slab. This mafic magmatism emplaced in the middle-lower crust of intraoceanic arcs or active continental margins, leading to Jurassic juvenile crustal growth in southern Tibet.

Chronology and Geochemistry of the Berezitovoe Polymetallic Gold Deposit in Eastern Siberia, Russia and its Geological Significance

The Berezitovoe deposit is a large-sized Au-Ag-Zn-Pb deposit in the east of the SelengaStanovoi superterrane, Russia. Au-Ag orebodies are hosted by tourmaline-garnet-quartz-muscovite metasomatic rocks; Zn-Pb orebodies are hosted by granodiorites, porphyritic granites and tourmalinegarnet-quartz-muscovite metasomatic rocks. These orebodies are surrounded by wall rocks dominated by the Tukuringra Complex granodiorites, porphyritic granites, and gneissic granodiorites. The alteration includes silicification and garnet, sericitization chloritization, carbonatization and kaollinization. LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon dating indicates that the gold mineralization can be divided into two stages in the Berezitovoe polymetallic gold deposit(at 363.5 ± 1.5 Ma, and133.4± 0.5).Hornblende-plagioclase gneisses of the Mogocha Group in the study area underwent Paleoproterozoic metamorphism(at 1870 ± 7.8 and 2400 ± 13 Ma), gneissic granodiorite of the Tukuringra Complex yields a late Paleozoic magmatic age(at 379.2 ± 1.1 Ma),and subalkaline porphyritic granitoid of the Amudzhikan Complex yield late Mesozoic magmatic ages(133-139 and 150-163 Ma). Granodiorites of the Tukuringra Complex in the study area have high concentrations of SiO_2(average of 60.9 wt%), are aluminum-oversaturated(average A/CNK of 1.49), are enriched in the large ion lithophile elements(e.g.,K, Rb, and Ba), U, Th, and Pb, are depleted in high field strength elements(e.g., Ta, Nb, and Ti), and have slightly negative Eu and no Ce anomalies in chondrite-normalized rare earth element diagrams.Fluid inclusions from quartz veins include three types: aqueous two-phase, CO_2-bearing three-phase,and pure CO_2. Aqueous two-phase inclusions homogenize at 167℃-249℃ and have salinities of 4.32%-9.47% NaCl equivalent, densities of 0.86-0.95 g/cm~3, and formed at depths of 0.52-0.94 km. In comparison, the C0_2-bearing three-phase inclusions have homogenization temperatures of 265℃-346℃,salinities of 7.14%-11.57% NaCl equivalent, and total densities of 0.62-0.67 g/cm~3. The geochemical and zircon U-Pb data and the regional tectonic evolution of the study area, show that the Berezitovoe polymetallic gold deposit formed in an island arc or active continental margin setting, most probably related to late Paleozoic subduction of Okhotsk Ocean crust beneath the Siberian Plate.     

蒙古南戈壁欧玉陶勒盖铜(金)矿床地质特征及其对我国找矿勘查工作的启示

近二十年来,蒙古南戈壁成矿带在寻找大宗金属矿产方面取得丰硕成果,发现了欧玉陶勒盖和查干苏布尔加等与古亚洲洋晚泥盆世岛弧演化有关的大型斑岩型矿床。研究表明:1)欧玉陶勒盖—查干苏布尔加地区在法门期弧岩浆与矿化作用之后,经历了短暂的抬升和剥蚀过程,随后被石炭纪火山-沉积岩所覆盖。两个矿床皆被埋藏于法门期(D_3)—杜内期(C_1)不整合面之下;2)矿床现今出露于石炭纪—二叠纪岩体包围的"天窗"中,矿体能否保存与其上覆岩层遭受的剥蚀程度有关;3)近EW向展布的蒙古南戈壁成矿带在欧玉陶勒盖—查干苏布尔加地区受三叠纪—早白垩世准巴彦断裂左旋走滑运动的影响,局部转变为NE走向,向东可延伸至中国境内东乌旗一带。因此,在中国内蒙古东乌旗地区开展的找矿勘查工作应重点关注法门期(D_3)—杜内期(C_1)不整合之下的晚泥盆世侵入体及其围岩,并在成矿远景区进行相应的区域构造解析研究。     

北京连续降水水汽输送差异的同位素示踪

为了探讨连续降水过程中水汽输送的变化,应用NCEP/NCAR资料、HYSPLIT后向轨迹模拟及降水稳定同位素资料对北京22场连续降水的水汽输送差异进行了研究。结果表明:连续降水的水汽输送可分为西向水汽输送、远洋水汽输送、近海水汽输送、远源大陆水汽输送和局地大陆水汽输送5种类型,并以近海水汽输送和西向水汽输送为主（降水量占比60.8%）。不同水汽输送类型下降水δ18O的差异主要受水汽源区同位素富集程度及水汽输送途中降水过程的影响,降水氘盈余的变化反映出二次蒸发的影响及水汽源区大气相对湿度的差异。14场连续降水的水汽输送类型发生了变化,且降水δ18O值的变化能够较好地指示水汽输送类型的变化。该结果说明降水同位素特征能够为识别水汽输送类型提供有效信息。

三道湾子金矿床位于小兴安岭北麓,是典型的以碲金化合物为主的矿床,为了限定其成矿时代和厘定其成矿地质背景,笔者对同成矿地质体火山岩和成矿期后的玄武粗安玢岩的单颗粒锆石U-Pb年龄和元素地球化学进行测定,获得同成矿地质体粗面英安斑岩及玄武粗安玢岩的~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄加权平均值分别为(124.2±0.9)Ma(MSWD=0.5,n=18)和(118.9±2.3)Ma(MSWD=0.5,n=6);赋矿围岩为玄武粗安岩与同成矿地质体粗面英安斑岩,Si O2含量为52.75%~62.30%,K_2O和Na_2O含量分别为2.02%~2.85%和3.96%~4.24%。里特曼指数(δ)在0.85~3.67之间,属于钙碱性到高钾钙碱性岩系特征;成矿期后脉岩玄武粗安玢岩,SiO_2含量为51.53%~52.32%,K_2O含量为2.30%~2.36%,Na_2O含量为3.78%~4.14%,里特曼指数(δ)在4.05~4.86之间;微量和稀土元素均显示富集大离子亲石元素(Cs、K、Rb、Ba、LREE等),相对亏损高场强元素(Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf等)和HREE,特别是强烈亏损Th、U和Nb、Ta的特征,与岛弧钙碱性玄武岩相似。研究揭示了该矿床形成于早白垩世(124~119 Ma)或晚中生代造山后伸展构造环境,成矿热动源可能是交代大洋性质的岩石圈地幔。     

综合电法在安徽某铜矿勘查中的应用

查区内广泛出露地层有震旦系和奥陶系地层,岩性以灰岩、泥岩为主;第四系分布在区内低洼地带,由亚黏土、黏土夹铁锰结核构成。区内含矿地层与围岩存在明显的电性差异,对于开展电法工作较为有利。在查区开展了激电中梯扫面、联合剖面、激电测深等多种综合电法方法,结合查区地质特点,圈定一个成矿靶区,推测异常体埋深,提出验证孔一个。经钻孔验证见矿情况较好,证明了综合电法在该区找矿的有效性。     

青海省宗马海湖地区始新—中新统干柴沟组沉积相探析

宗马海湖地区位于柴达木盆地的北缘,有着良好的油气、钾盐勘探前景。该文在分析柴达木盆地北缘宗马海湖地区区域地质背景的基础上,对始新-中新统干柴沟组的岩石学特征、地层特征、沉积构造特征及沉积相等进行了较为深入的研究。干柴沟组沉积相以滨湖亚相、浅湖亚相及扇三角洲相为主,滨-浅亚湖沉积发育最为广泛。扇三角洲相具牵引流、重力流沉积特征,中、粗粒碎屑岩为主;滨湖亚相具较高流态的水动力条件,以砂和粉砂为主,砂泥间互层频繁;浅湖亚相以泥质沉积为主,显示低能的浅水静态沉积作用。文中总结了研究区干柴沟组沉积期沉积相演化特征,建立了干柴沟沉积相平面展布图;干柴沟组沉积相的形成与季节性变化息息相关,湖水上涨、后退导致北部山区扇三角洲较发育,而南部区域始终位于滨、浅湖环境中。
