喀拉昆仑火烧云一带早侏罗世双峰式火山岩的发现及意义

喀拉昆仑火烧云北火山岩发育在乔尔天山断裂附近,玄武岩体和安山岩体在时空上紧密伴生。主量元素测试结果显示,其中玄武岩和英安岩的Si O2含量分别为48.84%~52.44%和62.22%~65.63%,具有明显的Daly间断面,属于典型的双峰式火山岩。玄武岩Al2O3含量较低,MgO、Ca O、Ti O2含量较高,Sr、Ba、K等微量元素强烈亏损,高场强元素Ta、Nb、Ti、Zr无亏损。英安岩具有相对较高的Al2O3、Na2O、K2O含量,较低的MgO、Ca O、Ti O2含量;微量元素具富集大离子亲石元素(Rb、Th、U、K)、亏损高场强元素(Ta、Nb、Ti),显示典型岛弧环境特征。岩石地球化学特征表明二者同属钙碱系列,形成于弧后盆地,属同源演化,英安岩为玄武岩结晶分异的产物。通过对英安岩进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb方法测年,获得流纹岩形成年龄为(195.5±1.1)Ma,属于早侏罗世。通过对该区域构造演化进行分析讨论,认为乔尔天山一带盆地整体可能处于弧后盆地的发育阶段,盆地形成过程中岩石圈地幔未被拉断,没有洋壳形成。     

海南岛新生代玄武质熔岩源区中再循环物质及其年龄的限定:来自Hf-Sr-Nd-Pb同位素的制约

再循环洋壳和沉积物在壳.幔循环过程中扮演着重要的角色。前人研究指出板片俯冲与海南地幔柱形成关系密切,然而地幔柱源区中是否存在再循环沉积物仍然不得而知。本文将首次报导海南岛新生代玄武质熔岩的Hf同位素,并将新的Sr-Nd-Pb同位素与前人数据相结合,限定再循环物质的组成及其年龄。与同位素地幔趋势相比,给定εNd时,海南岛玄武质熔岩的εHf值更低;而且Eu/Eu*>1、Sr/Sr*>1,与Al2O3、MgO都不存在相关性,说明Eu和Sr的正异常是继承了源区的特征,指示源区中存在再循环洋壳物质的参与。海南岛玄武质熔岩的Ce/Pb与εNd、εHf呈正相关关系,Nd/Pb与87Sr/86Sr呈负相关关系,它们都指向了沉积物端元。根据εHf-εNd模型和Pb同位素演化模型,推断源区中再循环洋壳和沉积物相对年轻,其年龄应小于1.0Ga。这些再循环洋壳和沉积物将进入深部地幔,并与地幔中的橄榄岩反应形成二阶段辉石岩,随着海南地幔柱不断上升而发生熔融,最终熔体喷发至地表形成海南岛玄武质熔岩。     

Dating lava flows of tropical volcanoes by means of spatial modeling of vegetation recovery

The age of past lava flows is crucial information for evaluating the hazards and risks posed by effusive volcanoes, but traditional dating methods are expensive and time‐consuming. This study proposes an alternative statistical dating method based on remote sensing observations of tropical volcanoes by exploiting the relationship between lava flow age and vegetation cover. First, the factors controlling vegetation density on lava flows, represented by the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), were investigated. These factors were then integrated into pixel‐based multi‐variable regression models of lava flow age to derive lava flow age maps. The method was tested at a pixel scale on three tropical African volcanoes with considerable recent effusive activity: Nyamuragira (Democratic Republic of Congo), Mt Cameroon (Cameroon) and Karthala (the Comoros). Due to different climatic and topographic conditions, the parameters of the spatial modeling are volcano‐specific. Validation suggests that the obtained statistical models are robust and can thus be applied for estimating the age of unmodified undated lava flow surfaces for these volcanoes. When the models are applied to fully vegetated lava flows, the results should be interpreted with caution due to the saturation of NDVI. In order to improve the accuracy of the models, when available, spatial data on temperature and precipitation should be included to directly represent climatic variation.

老挝万象省爬立山（PHaLek）铁矿床地质特征及成矿作用分析

爬立山铁矿床位于长山褶皱带北西端,是长山成矿带内与岩浆作用有关的一个大型铁矿床。根据野外地质观察及室内对含矿岩体、赋矿围岩和矿石开展的岩相学和地球化学研究发现：与成矿作用有关的花岗质岩石属钙碱系列准铝质的I型花岗岩,成岩的构造环境为火山弧。矿区内发育致密块状磁铁矿、孔洞状赤铁矿、砂砾土状铁矿等3种铁矿石。结合岩（矿）石微量元素分析,认为爬立山铁矿具有复合成矿作用特征,主要可分为3个成矿阶段：早期以与华力西期岩浆侵入作用有关的接触交代成矿作用为主,形成矽卡岩型磁铁矿;其后,在褶皱造山后形成的断陷盆地中,由于火山喷发（溢）作用形成孔洞状熔岩型赤铁矿;最后随着新生代地壳抬升,发生表生物理化学风化成矿作用,形成如今的砂砾土状型铁矿。     

Characteristics of the 2000 fissure eruption and lava flow fields at Mount Cameroon volcano,West Africa: a combined field mapping and remote sensing approach

This study focuses on the compound pahoehoe lava flow fields of the 2000 eruption on Mount Cameroon volcano, West Africa and it comprehensively documents their morphology. The 2000 eruption of Mount Cameroon took place at three different sites (sites 1, 2 and 3), on the southwest flank and near the summit that built three different lava flow fields. These lava flow fields were formed during a long‐duration (28th May–mid September) summit and flank eruption involving predominantly pahoehoe flows (sites 2 and 3) and aa flows (site 1). Field observations of flows from a total of four cross‐sections made at the proximal end, midway and at the flow front, have been supplemented with data from satellite imagery (SRTM DEM, Landsat TM and ETM+) and are used to offer some clues into their emplacement. Detailed mapping of these lava flows revealed that site 1 flows were typically channel‐fed simple aa flows that evolved as a single flow unit, while sites 2 and 3 lava flow fields were fed by master tubes within fissures producing principally tube‐fed compound pahoehoe flows. Sites 2 and 3 flows issued from ∼ 33 ephemeral vents along four NE–SW‐trending faults/fissures. Pahoehoe morphologies at sites 2 and 3 include smooth, folded and channelled lobes emplaced via a continuum of different mechanisms with the principal mechanism being inflation. The dominant structural features observed on these flow fields included: fissures/faults, vents, levees, channels, tubes and pressure ridges. Other structural features present were pahoehoe toes/lobes, breakouts and squeeze‐ups. Slabby pahoehoe resulting from slab‐crusted lava was the transitionary lava type from pahoehoe to aa observed at all the sites. Transition zones correspond to slopes of > 10°. Variations in flow morphology and textures across profiles and downstream were repetitive, suggesting a cyclical nature for the responsible processes. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

广西南部钦州地区早—中三叠世火山事件——台马碎斑熔岩

通过对前人划分的十万大山岩带的主要岩体——台马岩体的野外地质特征、岩石学特征的研究,认为原台马岩体主要由碎斑熔岩组成,是火山侵出相的产物而不是侵入相的花岗斑岩。结合台马碎斑熔岩与周边火山岩、侵入岩、地层的关系,认为它是早—中三叠世中心裂隙式火山构造中央部位侵出的穹状岩脊。因此,十万大山岩带是火山-侵入杂岩带,台马碎斑熔岩是该火山-侵入杂岩带的一个相。     

Kaolinite Claystones associated with the Wongawilli seam in the southern part of the Sydney basin

Kaolinite claystones that are similar in structure, texture and composition to the kaolin tonsteins of Western Europe, and to some of the flint clays of North America, are associated with the Wongawilli Seam in the southern part of the Sydney Basin, where they form thin persistent bands within the coal and somewhat thicker deposits immediately overlying the seam. The thin bands within the coal are fine grained and consist of brecciated to pelletal clasts composed of well‐ordered kaolinite set in a matrix of similar composition. The thicker deposits overlying the seam are much coarser grained and appear restricted in occurrence to the basin margins. They contain a predominance of oolites with kaolinite clasts bonded by a relatively sparse matrix and in places, remarkable ‘outgrowths’ of vermicular kaolinite. The origin of the deposits is discussed, and it is concluded that most of the unusual features of these claystones can be ascribed to a fluvial environment.     

Neotectonic and volcanic characteristics of the Karasu fault zone (Anatolia,Turkey): The transition zone between the Dead Sea transform and the East Anatolian fault zone

Abstract

The Karasu Rift (Antakya province, SE Turkey) has developed between east-dipping, NNE-striking faults of the Karasu fault zone, which define the western margin of the rift and westdipping, N-S to N20°-30°E-striking faults of Dead Sea Transform fault zone (DST) in the central part and eastern margin of the rift. The strand of the Karasu fault zone that bounds the basin from west forms a linkage zone between the DST and the East Anatolian fault zone (EAFZ). The greater vertical offset on the western margin faults relative to the eastern ones indicates asymmetrical evolution of the rift as implied by the higher escarpments and accumulation of extensive, thick alluvial fans on the western margins of the rift. The thickness of the Quaternary sedimentary fill is more than 465 m, with clastic sediments intercalated with basaltic lavas. The Quaternary alkali basaltic volcanism accompanied fluvial to lacustrine sedimentation between 1.57 ± 0.08 and 0.05 ± 0.03 Ma. The faults are left-lateral oblique-slip faults as indicated by left-stepping faulting patterns, slip-lineation data and left-laterally offset lava flows and stream channels along the Karasu fault zone. At Hacilar village, an offset lava flow, dated to 0.08 ± 0.06 Ma, indicates a rate of leftlateral oblique slip of approximately 4.1 mm?year^?1. Overall, the Karasu Rift is an asymmetrical transtensional basin, which has developed between seismically active splays of the left-lateral DST and the left-lateral oblique-slip Karasu fault zone during the neotectonic period. © 2001 Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS
