Tectonic Evolution and Hydrocarbon Potential in Northern Area of the South Yellow Sea

The northern area of the South Yellow Sea, located in the offshore region of China, resulted from the continental-continental collision orogeny during the Mesozoic and can be divided into four stages in terms of tectonic evolution: (1) pre-orogenic passive continental margin stage (Z-T2); (2) foreland basin stage corresponding with the late phase of the Sulu (苏鲁) orogeny (J3-K); (3) post-orogenic intracontinental rifted basin stage (K2t-E); and (4) regional subsidence and coverage stage (N-Q).

青藏高原羌塘中部蜈蚣山花岗片麻岩锆石U-Pb定年——泛非与印支事件的年代学记录

羌塘盆地位于青藏高原北部,是研究青藏高原古特提斯洋演化及冈瓦纳大陆与欧亚大陆界线的关键区域,其基底的时代和性质直接决定了羌南—保山板块的大地构造属性和冈瓦纳大陆的范围。笔者通过对羌塘中部蜈蚣山花岗片麻岩捕虏体的锆石LA-ICP-MSU-Pb定年,确定该花岗片麻岩形成于晚三叠世(209.1±2.8Ma),是冈瓦纳大陆与欧亚大陆汇聚事件的物质记录,与羌塘中部已有的研究结果相一致;同时还在花岗片麻岩中发现了冈瓦纳大陆泛非运动晚期(464.5±4.8Ma)的年龄记录,是羌塘地区首次发现泛非运动的物质记录,并且该年龄可以与滇西怒江、保山以及印度板块内部和喜马拉雅造山带中发育的大量早古生代花岗质岩石相对比,表明羌南—保山板块与印度大陆具有很好的亲缘性。以上研究成果为探讨羌塘地区的基底属性和确定冈瓦纳大陆与欧亚大陆碰撞的时限提供了新的证据。     

哀牢山南段长安金矿床成矿流体特征及成因类型探讨

长安金矿床是三江造山带哀牢山成矿带南段大型矿床之一,就位于甘河断裂的脆性破碎带内.其成矿流体具有中低温、中低盐度的特点,气相成分以H2O、CO2为主,主成矿期流体中CO2含量可达21.162mo1％～32.832mo1％;液相成分以Cl-、K+、Na+为主.成矿流体的δ13CCo2值为-3.427‰～8.749‰,显示海相碳酸盐源特征并与岩浆活动有关;δD值为-111‰～ -78.383‰,δ18O值介于10.527‰～13.565‰,δ34S值集中分布在+1‰～+3‰之间,综合表明长安金矿流体具有岩浆热液的性质,同时,源自海相碳酸盐地层的变质水也参与了成矿作用.在哀牢山南段的金平地区,受新生代大规模富碱性岩浆沿断裂上侵的影响,含金的岩浆气液在运动过程中混合浅部流体并活化、萃取矿区地层及有关地质体中的金元素,使其转入溶液形成含金的成矿流体;当成矿流体运移到浅部有利构造或岩性部位时,物理化学条件的变化,促使Au等成矿物质快速沉淀、富集形成微细浸染状矿化.综合研究认为,长安金矿床兼具造山型和卡林型金矿床的典型地质地球化学特征,可被厘定为类卡林型金矿床,为卡林型与造山型之间的过渡类型.     

Distribution and occurrence of some naturally‐occurring polytypes of molybdenite in Australia and Papua New Guinea

156 samples of naturally‐occurring molybdenite from 87 localities in Australia have been examined to determine the distribution of the hexagonal (2H₁) and rhombohedral (3R) polytypes. 90% of the specimens examined are 2H₁ polytypes, the remainder being 3R and mixtures of 2H₁ and 3R polytypes. The 3R and mixed polytypes are more abundant in porphyry copper deposits or as disseminations, in veins, and in garnet‐quartz pipes in granite. 2H₁ polytypes are the sole modification observed in pegmatites, quart‐pegmatite pipes, simple quartz veins, and skarns.

The highest average concentrations of rhenium are in molybdenite from porphyry copper deposits, quartz porphyry pipes, skarn deposits, garnet‐quartz pipes, and pegmatites. Low concentrations occur in molybdenite which is disseminated or in quartz veins in granite and in quartz or pegmatitic pipes. Molybdenites in which the 2H₁ polytype is dominant have a lower average rhenium content than those with dominant 3R polytype.     

Dating of Neoproterozoic and Cambrian orogenies in Tasmania*

A coherent set of timing constraints is produced for Tasmania's Proterozoic and Cambrian geology when only mineral ages are considered and whole‐rock ages excluded. The oldest recognised event is the formation of sedimentary deposits which contain detrital zircons that indirectly indicate a depositional age younger than 1180 Ma. Partial melts of these sedimentary rocks were incorporated in Neoproterozoic, Devonian and probably Cambrian felsic magmas. Neoproterozoic granite on King Island has an age of 760 ± 12 Ma and is part of a high‐level intrusive episode that accompanied the Wickham Orogeny, an event with regionally varied strain that is represented in northwestern Tasmania by a low‐angle unconformity, by altered granitoid with a magmatic age of 777 ± 7 Ma, and by the thick turbidite pile of the Burnie and Oonah Formations with its syndepositional intrusions of Cooee Dolerite. The late Neoproterozoic was relatively quiet tectonically but by early in the Middle Cambrian a crustal collision which marked the early phase of the Tyennan Orogeny brought about high‐level emplacement of ultramafic‐bearing allochthons and deep‐seated metamorphism of quartzose sedimentary and basaltic rocks. The ultramafic allochthons carried tonalite that had crystallised only shortly before at 510 ± 6 Ma, while the deep‐seated metamorphism produced eclogite at 502 ± 8 Ma. By middle Middle Cambrian times the metamorphic rocks had been uplifted and they experienced repeated uplift during the period of Mt Read volcanism and onward to the close of the Tyennan Orogeny in the Early Ordovician, an overall period of some 20 million years from the early Middle Cambrian. Regionally varied strain was again a feature during the Tyennan Orogeny, with the Smithton area in northwestern Tasmania and King Island occupying relatively undeformed cratonic positions.     

Ductile crust exhumation and extensional detachments in the central Aegean (Cyclades and Evvia Islands).

Abstract

The Aegean continental domain is known to be the site of widespread “back-arc” extension since at least 13 Ma, on the basis of seismotectonic, stratigraphic and fault analysis studies. This extension is documented to overprint structures related to the Mesozoic-Cenozoic Hellenic orogeny. Features attributed to early thrusting include the overall ductile deformation within two broad belts that have suffered HP/LT metamorphism across the Aegean. This study presents a structural analysis of the central Aegean area (Cyclades and Evvia Islands), examining in particular the relationship between ductile and brittle deformation, both in the field and on a regional scale. Extension appears to be responsible for most of the ductile deformation within HP rock units that have experienced penetrative greenschist facies and higher grade metamorphic over-printing. On each studied island, progressive extensional deformation has occurred through the development of a major normal-sense detachment zone down to depths of about 18-25 km. Large displacement along the detachment zone accounts for rapid cooling and exhumation of ductile lower crust to form a local metamorphic dome or core complex. Structural and stratigraphic features support a progressive migration of normal faulting away from the dome axis, and a rotation of previously active faults toward low dips, as in kinematic models recently suggested for the development of extensional detachment systems. All the studied domes, except that seen on los Island, show a dominant top-to-the north or north-east sense of shear, while on the southern flank of many of them, an opposite sense of shear is observed, displaying the same progressive evolution from ductile to brittle rock behaviour. This opposite sense of shear is thought not to result from shearing along a major conjugate detachment zone, as in some recent models, but from the accommodation in the ductile crust of upward bending of the brittle upper crust in the footwall of the north-dipping detachment. Available radiometric and stratigraphie data indicate an early minimum age (22-19 Ma) for the onset of extension. The relationship between early metamorphic domes and shallow-dipping detachments, on one hand, and Messinian-Quaternary steep normal faults and grabens, on the other hand, is best explained with the progressive and continuous development of new normal faults away from the domes axes, rather than with a two-stage evolutionary model (core-complex stage, then Basin-and-Range stage) of the type invoked for the North American Cordillera.     

Formation of the Moping Dome in the Xuefengshan Orocline, Central China and its Tectonic Significance

Many equiaxial dome-like structures developed in the north segment of the Xuefengshan orocline, Central China are obviously inconcordant with the NE-trending linear structures in this area, which contain important records for understanding the structural framework and evolution of this belt. In this paper, taking one of the typical dome-like structures in the Xuefengshan orcline (e.g. Moping dome-like structure) as an example, based on its structural framework interpratatoin, superposed deformation analysis and paleo-stress fields reconstruction, we propose the Moping dome-like structure is composed of two populations of different-striking thrust-fold structures, ～E-trending and NE-striking structures, indicative of two-stages shortening, ～N- and NW-striking, respectively. Together with the geochronological analysis, we suggest the first stage of shortening occurred in Late Triassic to Early Jurassic, due to the Indosinian intercollisional orogeny of the Yangtze Block and the North China Block. The second occurred during Late Jurassic Early Cretaceous owing to Yanshanian intracontinental orogeny, leading to the intensive superposition of the NE-trending structures onto the ～E-trending structures, and the final ocurrence of the Moping dome. Thus, our study indicates the Xuefengshan arc-shape belt also experienced two-phase deformation, and resulted from the superposition of NE SW structures onto ～E-W structures in Late Jurassic Early Cretaceous, which could provide new structural evidence for probing the Mesozoic tectonic framework and evolution of the Xuefengshan orocline.
