Changchengite—A New Iridium Bismuthide-Sulphide from the Yanshan Mountains

Changchengite occurs in chromite orebodies in dunite and in platinum placer deposits in chromite orebodies nearby. The mineral occurs as massive aggregates or veinlets on margins of iridisite (IrS2) and replaces it. Opaque. Lustre metallic. Colour steel-black. Streak black. Hm = 3.7. VHN20= 165 kg/ mm2. Isotropic. Cleavage none. Density 11.96 g/ cm3. Seven electron microprobe analyses give the following mean chemical results (wt. %): S 7.2, Cu 0.3, Te 0.4, Ir 41.2, Pt 2.8 and Bi 47.3 with total 99.1. The simplified formula is IrBiS. The strongest X-ray powder diffraction lines (hkl, d, I) are 210, 2.75 (70); 211, 2.51 (60); 311, 1.860 (100); 440. 1.090 (50) and 600, 1.027 (50). The X-ray powder diffraction pattern is similar to that of mayingite. After the diffraction data are indexed the mineral is determined to be cubic.

东昆仑阿尔格山二叠纪生物礁的特征及其古地理古气候的意义

东昆仑山脉西段二叠纪生物礁由早二叠世、中二叠世的栖霞期和茅口期三个层位组成，早二叠世的礁和中二叠世栖霞期的礁是我国首次发现的，填补了我国二叠纪礁的空白。早二叠世礁的时代相当于阿赛尔-萨克马尔-阿丁斯克期，主要表现为海绵礁、苔藓虫礁和Shamovella(Tubiphytes)-古石孔藻礁。但缺失由Palaeoaplysina组成的礁。中二叠世栖霞期的礁表现为海绵-苔藓虫礁、Shamovella-苔藓虫礁和叶状藻礁。中二叠世茅口期的礁与栖霞期的礁类型基本一致。阿尔格山礁是塔吉克斯坦-喀拉昆仑地体的一个部分，该地体位于南纬30°以北的东特提斯海内。此处的二叠纪礁由各种生物组成，包括珊瑚海绵、苔藓虫、Shamovella.古石孔藻、棘皮类、有孔虫、叶状藻、粗枝藻以及腹足类等，推测该礁形成于温暖和炎热气候条件下的暖水内，而非冷水礁。     

湖北蕲春花岗岩类锆石SHRIMP年龄：大别山造山带内弱变质—未变质晋宁期花岗岩类的发现

蕲春花岗质杂岩体包括斑状二长花岗岩和花岗岩两部分,它们之间在化学性质上存在着很大的差异,前者表现为高Al 2O3(15.73%)、相对高CaO(2.46%)、Na2O含量明显高于K2O(Na2O/K2O=1.27),尤以强烈亏损重稀土元素和极强的轻、重稀土元素分馏程度[(La/Yb)N=46.8]为特征而类似于太古宙高Al2O3的TTG岩石.而后者则以较低的Al2O3含量(14.05%)、贫CaO(0.82%)、K2O含量明显高于Na2O(Na2O/K2O=0.81)为特征,轻、重稀土元素的分馏程度[(La/Yb)N=10.89]也较片麻状二长花岗岩中弱得多.两类岩石中锆石的U-PbSHRIMP年龄分别为824.6±17.6 Ma和784±20 Ma,该时代与大别山造山带内花岗片麻岩的原岩形成年龄类似.大别山造山带内弱变质-未变质晋宁期花岗岩的出现表明扬子板块印支期向北俯冲时,该花岗质杂岩处于俯冲板片的后缘,可代表造山带内扬子基底的原地露头.而岩体周围的高压变质杂岩应是折返上来的无根构造岩片,大别山造山带内高压超高压变质杂岩的出露不是整体性抬升剥蚀的结果.     

Geochemistry of the subduction-related magmatic rocks in the Dahong Mountains, northern Hubei Province——Constraint on the existence and subduction of the eastern Mianle oceanic basin

Being a composite collisional orogen between North China and South China blocks, the Qinling orogenic belt is the key to understand the composite combination, prolonged evolutionary history and their continental dynamics. The main suture between north and south Qinling, called Shangdan suture zone (SDSZ), had been studied in detail for about twenty years. Recently, another suture zone, called Mianl黣 suture zone (MLSZ), has been identified in the Qinling Mountains. It is characterized b…     

The Frozen Soils and Devastating Characteristics of West Kunlun Mountains Pass Ms 8.1 Earthquake Area in 2001

The investigation on damages to frozen soil sites during the West Kunlun Mountains Pass earthquake with Ms 8.1 in 2001 shows that the frozen soil in the seismic area is composed mainly of moraine, alluvial deposit, diluvial deposit and lacustrine deposit with the depth varying greatly along the earthquake rupture zone. The deformation and rupture of frozen soil sites are mainly in the form of coseismic fracture zones caused by tectonic motion and fissures,liquefaction, seismic subsidence and collapse resulting from ground motion. The earthquake fracture zones on the surface are main brittle deformations, which, under the effect of sinlstral strike-slip movement, are represented by shear fissures, tensional cracks and compressive bulges. The distribution and configuration patterns of deformation and rupture such as fissures, liquefaction, seismic subsidence and landslides are all related to the ambient rock and soil conditions of the earthquake area. The distribution of earthquake damage is characterized by large-scale rupture zones, rapid intensity attenuation along the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Highway, where buildings distribute and predominant effect of rock and soil conditions.     

大别山南部宿松磷矿含磷地层的时代归属与变形特征及其构造评价

根据对大别山南部宿松磷矿含磷地层的区域分布、地层序列、时代归属、构造变形的系统研究,提出磷矿层属震旦系的新认识。含磷岩系经受了两次强烈的变形改造,原始层理经过了强烈改造,宿松磷矿构成总体包络面呈北西西走向、向南倾斜的褶皱化单斜。矿层的多层化、尖灭复合和加厚现象等主要受构造的控制,而非完全受古地形的控制。用褶皱的观点对原先勘探剖面中的磷矿体进行了重新圈连,籍以指导磷矿的调查、评价和开采。最后对磷矿分布的古地理特征进行了讨论,并从构造的观点对磷矿进行了评价。     

大别山太湖地区榴辉岩峰期变质条件与构造意义

大别山太湖地区曾被作为“冷”、“热”榴辉岩带的交界处所在，我们对大别山太湖地区的进行了1：10000地质填图，并详细研究了该地区榴辉岩的岩相学和矿物成分变化，以及KD值、峰期变质P-T条件。研究表明榴辉岩自南向北可分为三类：①朱家冲型榴辉岩；②大坝型榴辉岩；③金河桥型榴辉岩。其中朱家冲型榴辉岩和金河桥型榴辉岩显示出明显的温度、压力差异，它们形成的P-T条件分别为：P=2．14GPa、T=563℃和P=3．76GPa、T=791℃。大坝型榴辉岩的峰期变质P-T条件差别较大，在柯石英-石英相变线附近徘徊，变质环境相当于高压一超高压过渡环境。朱家冲型榴辉岩与大坝型榴辉岩分别对应于前人所划分的“冷”、“热”榴辉岩，并且两者在峰期，变质温、压条件上是连续变化的，没有明显的温、压间断。因此，我们认为本区所谓的“冷”、“热”榴辉岩带界线是不存在的。     

南太行山闪长岩的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄及岩石成因研究

南太行山符山和东冶角闪闪长岩岩体的精细SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年和元素-同位素地球化学研究表明:符山角闪闪长岩体形成于126.7±1.1Ma,东冶角闪闪长岩体形成于125.9±0.9Ma,与区内基性侵入岩和北太行地区侵入杂岩具有相似的形成年龄,表明晚中生代(±130Ma左右)太行山地区经历了与华北陆块同期的重要构造岩浆事件。区内闪长质岩石SiO_2=54.84％～65.75％,MgO=1.31％～3.89％,K_2O Na_2O=6.53％～11.40％,mg值=0.36～0.58,(La/Yb)_(cn)=9.86～22.77,(Gd/Yb)_(cn)=1.51～2.00;Eu/Eu=1.00～1.23,以富集LREE、LILE元素和明显亏损Nb-Ta、Zr-Hf-Ti等高场强元素为特征。~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr(t)=0.705363～0.706165,ε_(Nd)(t)=-13.8～-16.8,源自于EMI型富集岩石圈地幔,可解释为新生地幔底侵物质熔融后经过结晶分异作用的产物。与华北克拉通内部其他地区一样,早白垩世南太行山地区处于软流圈上涌的岩石圈伸展构造背景。     

辽西医巫闾山地区中生代两期韧性变形的研究

医巫闾山地区的韧性剪切构造是中生代两期韧性变形作用的产物。早期韧性变形中a线理发育,线理走向和糜棱面理走向基本一致,线理在xy面上的侧伏角绝大多数<30°;该期韧性变形是以左行走滑运动为主。晚期韧性变形中a线理发育,线理倾伏向和糜棱岩中糜棱面理倾向相近,线理在xy面上侧伏角主要在45°～90°之间;该期韧性变形是伸展作用的产物。医巫闾山中生代两期韧性剪切变形作用表明,在侏罗纪至早白垩世期间辽西地区不仅发生了强烈挤压推覆作用和伸展作用,也发生了大规模左行走滑作用。该韧性变形作用的发现对进一步研究辽西中生代的构造演化序列、期次和构造格架转换等问题有重要意义。
