清河镇动物群各类化石的地史分布

清河镇动物群分布于华北地台北缘。建立清河镇动物群时,认为清河镇动物群包括管状化石、壳瓣状化石、球状壳化石、针状化石和近骨状类化石五个类型,并认为清河镇动物群的时代与梅树村动物群的时代相当。本文通过对清河镇动物群各类化石的分布规律和对所产化石地层的地质年代学和地层学的研究,认为不宜把针状化石和壳瓣状化石归入清河镇动物群;近骨状化石分布局限,其地史分布难以确定;管状化石出现于中元古代,至震旦纪和寒武纪大量产出,延续到奥陶纪;球状壳化石出现于寒武纪早期,至奥陶纪仍有。     

古大陆斜坡方向的确定方法

寒武—奥陶纪时,在中国南方曾经存在一个十分壮观的大陆斜坡,现今主要沿着无锡—皖南—赣西北—鄂东南—湘西—黔东—广西呈—带状分布。据研究,该大陆斜坡发育完好,无论其规模还是矿藏拥有量均为国内外所罕见。因此,进一步加强斜坡的基础地质研究,对于阐明其形成机理和演化发展就显得尤为重要。本文在这里仅讨论九种确定古大陆斜坡方向(倾向)的方法,旨在为恢复岩相古地理以及解释斜坡沉积物的成因提供理论依据和基础地质资料。

柴北缘乌兰北部三叠纪辉长岩的年代学和地球化学特征

柴北缘乌兰地区中生代岩浆岩分布广泛，主要出露辉长岩、闪长岩、花岗闪长岩和花岗岩。乌兰北部两件辉长岩样品的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年显示其加权平均年龄分别为（241.9±0.9） Ma和（245.4±1.9） Ma，说明其形成于中三叠世早期。辉长岩的w（SiO₂）为47.94%和52.01%，全碱质量分数较低（ALK为1.25%和1.47%），里特曼指数为0.33和0.26，属钙碱性系列岩石；w（Cr）（1 661.00×10^-6和1 418.00×10^-6）、w（Ni）（394.00×10^-6和280.00×10^-6）和Mg^#值（81和79）极高，具幔源原生玄武岩浆特征。轻、重稀土元素分馏较弱，LREE/HREE为3.92和3.44，无明显负Eu异常，表明未发生明显的岩浆分异作用；富集K、Rb等大离子亲石元素，不同程度地亏损Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素，表现为与俯冲作用相关的弧岩浆岩特征。辉长岩的ε_Hf（t）值（-3.0~9.3）变化较大，暗示来自地幔的基性岩浆中有地壳组分的加入。结合区域地质演化特征研究成果，认为辉长岩形成于古特提斯洋向北俯冲背景下的大陆边缘弧环境，俯冲的洋壳板片脱水产生的流体导致上覆地幔楔部分熔融，形成玄武质岩浆，岩浆上升侵位过程中遭受地壳物质混染或与壳源岩浆发生混合作用。     

柴北缘冷湖地区砂岩型铀矿床地质特征及成矿条件分析

冷湖地区砂岩型铀矿是近年柴北缘新发现的具有工业价值的铀矿床,为了进一步研究该地区砂岩型铀成矿岩石学及矿物学特征、铀成矿条件等问题,本文在野外地质调查的基础上,利用偏光显微镜结合电子探针分析手段,对该区内大煤沟组中含矿岩石进行了系统研究。结果表明:研究区中侏罗统大煤沟组含矿岩石类型主要为(粉)砂质泥岩、薄层煤及细粒石英杂砂岩,整体发育一系列后生蚀变。研究区北东侧安南坝山古元古界达肯达坂群及赛什腾山海西期花岗岩为区内砂岩型铀成矿提供了丰富的铀源。砂岩型铀矿中铀主要以独立铀矿物沥青铀矿的形式赋存,其次含有少量分散吸附态铀,沥青铀矿总体呈不规则粒状、星点状、"串珠状、线状"及粉末状赋存于黄铁矿边缘、裂隙部位或黄铁矿与方解石的接触部位,吸附态铀主要赋存于炭屑及煤线内;区内沥青铀矿为柴北缘地区首次揭露并发现的独立铀矿物,总体上填补了柴北缘地区无独立铀矿物出露的空白。铀成矿条件方面,含矿目的层中方解石的发育,显示了铀成矿流体富含CO_2、H_2O等挥发分和矿化剂,其次出露的众多还原性介质(油气、炭屑及黄铁矿等)为区内砂岩型铀成矿提供了氧化还原反应必需的还原剂,最终将U~(6+)还原成U~(4+)以沥青铀矿等形式沉淀成矿。     

Insights about the structure and development of Zhongsha Bank in the South China Sea from integrated geophysical modelling

ABSTRACT

We construct a complete density transection based on the velocity structures across the Zhongsha Bank in the South China Sea. Gravity modelling of the lateral density contrasts between tectonic units helps us to determine the structural attributes and boundaries between continental blocks and deep basins. The configuration of the continent–ocean boundary (COB) around the Zhongsha Bank is mapped based on the gravity/magnetic anomaly and crustal structures. A low-density mantle is found beneath the Zhongsha Bank and the oceanic basins, and this mantle is associated with the high heat-flow background. The COB orientation is northeast-east in the north of the bank, with faulted linear structures. In further southeast, where there is a more intact crust, the COB orientation changed to north-northeast. The reconstructed density model and gravity/magnetic map indicate that the Zhongsha Bank is conjugated with the Liyue Bank by a rifted basin, where the crust had experienced localized deformation before the seafloor spreading. Because of the insufficient magmatism in the oceanic basin, the spreading ridge propagates into the weakened continental lithosphere between the two continental blocks, thus completely separating the Zhongsha Bank from the Liyue Bank. Seafloor spreading ridge jumps within the South China Sea may also be affected by the heterogeneous lithosphere beneath the continental blocks and oceanic basins.     

内蒙古狼山地区乌花辉长岩的年代学、地球化学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素组成:对地幔源区特征和岩石成因的约束

内蒙古狼山地区乌花辉长岩体主要由橄榄辉长岩和角闪辉长岩组成,其锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素测年结果表明,岩体形成于(319.8±1.8)~(325.4±1.6) Ma,属于早石炭世末期岩浆活动的产物。地球化学特征上,乌花辉长岩属低钾钙碱性玄武岩系列,具有较高的Mg^#(多在76.70~80.35之间)、Al₂O₃(13.55%~25.13%)和较低的TiO₂(0.18%~1.35%)。稀土总含量较低(∑REE= 8.92×10^-6~40.10×10^-6),稀土元素分馏程度不高,呈现出轻稀土元素(LREE)略微富集、重稀土元素(HREE)相对亏损((La/Yb)_N = 1.74~3.06)的特点,Eu呈明显的正异常(δEu=1.156~3.86)。岩石富集Pb和K、Rb、Ba、Sr等大离子亲石元素,明显亏损Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf、Th等高场强元素,较低的Zr含量(4.38×10^-6~26.6×10^-6)和Zr/Y比值(1.08~2.35),呈现出典型的俯冲-消减带弧火山岩的地球化学特征。Sr-Nd-Hf同位素研究表明,乌花辉长岩岩浆源区为富集地幔,在侵位过程中受到的地壳混染程度较弱。结合区域地质背景,认为乌花辉长岩为俯冲-消减构造体制下由俯冲带流体交代富集地幔部分熔融而成,代表了俯冲相对早期阶段的产物,指示华北板块北缘西段在早石炭世晚期开始进入到安第斯型活动大陆边缘阶段,并可能结束于早二叠世之前。

Transcurrent continental tectonics model for the Ossa-Morena Zone Neoproterozoic–Paleozoic evolution,SW Iberian Massif,Portugal

The Ossa-Morena Zone (SW Iberian Massif) was affected by continuous orogen-parallel transcurrent continental tectonics from the Neoproterozoic to the Carboniferous times, involving transtension (TT) and transpression (TP) processes that co-existed together, occurred separately in neighbouring regions by the means of strain partitioning or even worked diachronically. A first stage of transpression TP1 took place during the Late Neoproterozoic–Lower Cambrian as a result of Cadomian arc-continent collisional processes. Structures generated by transtension TT1 from Cambrian to Lower Devonian were related to strong lithosphere stretching responsible for the development of basins controlled by major detachments, tilting, rifting and important tectono–thermal diachronic processes. Denudation phenomena and inhibition of sedimentation related with thermal uplift (asthenosphere upwelling) and consequent subsidence caused by isostatic equilibrium, involving generalized transgressions, were processes responsible for major unconformities. The Variscan TP2-TT2 episodes that followed diachronically TP1-TT1, by maintaining the orogen-parallel transport direction, were concomitant with syntectonic deposition of continental basins in the OMZ and foreland basins in the SPZ. TT2 local transtension and tectonic exhumation of deep crustal rocks along major shear zones, favoured the opening of tectonic troughs filled up by sediments and volcanism. TP2 shortening have generated fold axes parallel to the orogen-strike and composite dissymmetric flower structures.     

Neoproterozoic to Early-Palaeozoic magmatic evolution in the Gondwana-derived Austroalpine basement to the south of the Tauern Window (Eastern Alps)

In the Austroalpine Basement to the south of the Tauern Window, distinct suites of metabasites occur with orthogneisses in pre-Early-Ordovician units. Tholeiitic and alkaline within-plate basalt-type metabasites are associated with acid meta-porphyroids in the post-Early-Ordovician Thurntaler Phyllite Group. According to their correlated trace element abundances, metabasite zircons crystallized with their host rocks. Protolith Pb–Pb zircon ages, whole-rock Ta/Yb–Th/Yb and oxygen, Sr, Nd isotope data define two principal evolution lines. An older evolution at elevated Th/Yb typical of subduction-related magmatism, started by 590-Ma N-MORB-type and 550–530 Ma volcanic arc basalt type basic suites, which mainly involved depleted mantle sources. It finished with mainly crustal-source 470–450-Ma acid magmatites. An other evolution line by tholeiitic and 430-Ma alkaline within-plate basalt-type suites in both pre- and post-Early-Ordovician units is characterized by an intraplate mantle metasomatism and enrichment trend along multicomponent sources. These magmatic evolution lines can be related to a plate tectonic scenario that involved terranes in a progressively mature Neoproterozoic to Ordovician active margin, and a subsequent Palaeo-Tethys passive margin along the north Gondwanan periphery.
