Winter distribution of diatom assemblages along the coastline of R. O. Korea in 2010

Diatoms are a globally successful and eukaryotic photosynthetic organism with an ornamented silica external wall. The relationship between their valve morphology and habitat means that diatoms can be used as bioindicators to characterize the aquatic environment. To estimate the differential distribution and diversity of diatom assemblages along the coastal line, we collected phytoplankton samples from 114 coastal sites of waters of R. O. Korea. We applied the unweighted pair-group technique usin...     

朝鲜半岛中南部三叠纪岩浆岩的分布、系列与成因浅析

朝鲜半岛发育大量三叠纪侵入体,主要分布在半岛中部一个北东向走廊地带,该带状区域根据岩性差异,以洪城-高城一线为界分为两个亚带:北亚带(正长岩带/碱性岩带)主要分布在狼林地块南部及京畿地块北部,为碱性系列,以正长岩类为主;南亚带(二长岩带)主要分布在京畿地块南部-岭南地块,多为亚碱性系列,以(纹长)二长岩类为主,部分岩体有闪长岩-辉长岩端元,南部有少量A型花岗岩。这些岩体多形成于ca.230~220Ma,如本文获得的北亚带江北黑云母正长岩228.7±0.8 Ma锆石U-Pb谐和年龄。它们与本区高级变质作用时代接近,分布范围大致对应但稍大,说明它们是同成因的。岩石化学方面,这些岩体均显示高场强元素亏损,轻稀土和大离子亲石元素富集的典型的大陆岩石圈特征。南北亚带相比,北亚带岩体SiO_2和Na_2O等的含量整体上略低,而K_2O、Sr、Ba、La、Eu、Y、Cr等及稀土元素含量略高,轻重稀土分异程度((La/Yb)N)略高。空间上,两个亚带内K_2O/Na_2O和SiO_2有相反的变化趋势:从南向北,两个亚带内K_2O/Na_2O逐渐升高,SiO_2含量逐渐降低;但K_2O+Na_2O和Sr/Y的变化是相似的:南亚带从南向北,北亚带从北向南,两者逐渐降低。我们认为这些岩浆岩为同碰撞或者碰撞后产物,两个亚带之间的界线接近华北和华南古陆缝合带,岩性和成分的空间差异受控于华南古陆(朝鲜半岛南部)向华北古陆(朝鲜半岛北部)之下俯冲所形成的特定壳幔结构。     

朝鲜半岛冠帽地块的基底属性:来自银德洞变质侵入杂岩的锆石U-Pb年代学和岩石地球化学证据

地体基底建造的甄别和表征是联结华北克拉通与朝鲜半岛早期演化历史的基本纽带。针对朝鲜半岛前寒武纪基底建造研究方面的薄弱环节,本文表征了冠帽地块清津地区银德洞出露的变质深成侵入杂岩。3个代表性样品的SIMS锆石U-Pb定年结果显示,早期中性片麻岩记录的岩浆侵入年龄为约2.53 Ga,晚期钾长花岗质片麻岩记录的岩浆侵入年龄为约2.51 Ga,表明银德洞变质杂岩形成于新太古代晚期。参考变质杂岩的岩石地球化学特征,其原岩组成可能包括石英闪长岩和钾长花岗岩,大体上可与全球典型的岩浆型紫苏花岗岩系列相类比。结合3个样品变化较大的锆石εH f(t)值(-1.7~+10.5),我们推测银德洞变质侵入杂岩可能形成于玄武质下地壳岩石的部分熔融及其后的结晶分异作用,代表了活动大陆边缘岩浆弧环境下的典型产物。银德洞变质杂岩归属于新太古代岩浆弧根部岩浆岩建造的研究认识,不仅为判定冠帽地块与华北克拉通东部的吉南和龙地块以及辽北清原地块之间的亲缘性提供了岩石学证据,而且暗示这些地块在新太古代共同处在一个类似于安第斯活动大陆边缘的构造环境。     

Early to Middle Jurassic (ca. 182–164 Ma) fractionated granitoids in the Korean Peninsula: Implication for the tectonomagmatic history of East Asia

The Jurassic granitoids (200–164 Ma) are distributed in the Korean Peninsula due to the Paleo-Pacific plate subduction. Early Jurassic (200–182 Ma) granitoids are mainly distributed in the southern Korean Peninsula. By contrast, Early to Middle Jurassic (182–164 Ma) granitoids are distributed in the central Korean Peninsula. In this study, we report detailed petrology, zircon U–Pb ages, and whole-rock geochemistry from the Seoul–Uijeongbu and Pocheon–Gimhwa pluton units in the central Korean Peninsula. The Seoul–Uijeongbu unit is dominated by biotite granite, with minor porphyritic biotite and garnet-biotite granite while the Pocheon–Gimhwa unit consists of biotite granite and porphyritic biotite granite, garnet-biotite granite, and two-mica granite. Zircon U–Pb age from those granites gives 180–167 Ma. The granitoids in the Pocheon-Gimhwa unit formed through fractional crystallization from biotite granite and porphyritic biotite granite to garnet-biotite granite, and two-mica granite based on gradually decreasing their Nb/Ta, Zr/Hf, and Eu/Eu* ratios. The strongly fractionated granitoids are garnet-biotite granite and two-mica granite. The LILE enrichment, Ta–Nb, Sr–P, and Eu–Ti troughs, and Ba depletion in most granitoids are similar to those of granitoids due to the subduction in the arc environment. Thus, these Jurassic granitoids (180–167 Ma) are mainly peraluminous granites with moderate crystal fractionation corresponding to I-type granite. Alkali feldspar granite associated with ore mineralization occurs in the Gwanaksan pluton from the southwestern Seoul–Uijeongbu unit. The alkali feldspar granite displays distinct negative Eu anomaly with high contents of Rb, Hf, Cs, and Nb compared with other granites. These characteristics imply that alkali feldspar granite experienced strong hydrothermal activity leading to feldspar ore mineralization compared to the other granites. The formation of a wide range of moderately evolved peraluminous granitoids is presumed to be related to rapid flat-subduction during 182–164 Ma, and the mineralization-related alkali feldspar granite indicates the termination of Jurassic granitoid magmatism in the central Korean Peninsula.
