The dilemma of the Jiaodong gold deposits: Are they unique?

The ca. 126e120 Ma Au deposits of the Jiaodong Peninsula, eastern China, define the country＇s largest gold province with an overall endowment estimated as＆gt;3000 t Au. The vein and disseminated ores are hosted by NE-to NNE-trending brittle normal faults that parallel the margins of ca. 165e150 Ma, deeply emplaced, lower crustal melt granites. The deposits are sited along the faults for many tens of kilometers and the larger orebodies are associated with dilatational jogs. Country rocks to the granites are Pre-cambrian high-grade metamorphic rocks located on both sides of a Triassic suture between the North and South China blocks. During early Mesozoic convergent deformation, the ore-hosting structures developed as ductile thrust faults that were subsequently reactivated during Early Cretaceous ＂Yan-shanian＂intracontinental extensional deformation and associated gold formation. 〈br〉 Classification of the gold deposits remains problematic. Many features resemble those typical of orogenic Au including the linear structural distribution of the deposits, mineralization style, ore and alteration assemblages, and ore fluid chemistry. However, Phanerozoic orogenic Au deposits are formed by prograde metamorphism of accreted oceanic rocks in Cordilleran-style orogens. The Jiaodong de-posits, in contrast, formed within two Precambrian blocks approximately 2 billion years after devolati-lization of the country rocks, and thus require a model that involves alternative fluid and metal sources for the ores. A widespread suite of ca. 130e123 Ma granodiorites overlaps temporally with the ores, but shows a poor spatial association with the deposits. Furthermore, the deposit distribution and mineral-ization style is atypical of ores formed from nearby magmas. The ore concentration requires fluid focusing during some type of sub-crustal thermal event, which could be broadly related to a combination of coeval lithospheric thinning, asthenospheric upwelling, paleo-Pacific plate subduction, and seismicity along the continental-scale Tan-Lu fault. Possible ore genesis scenarios include those where ore fluids were produced directly by the metamorphism of oceanic lithosphere and overlying sediment on the subducting paleo-Pacific slab, or by devolatilization of an enriched mantle wedge above the slab. Both the sulfur and gold could be sourced from either the oceanic sediments or the serpentinized mantle. A better understanding of the architecture of the paleo-Pacific slab during Early Cretaceous below the eastern margin of China is essential to determination of the validity of possible models.

Skeletal Microstructures of the Chiton Ischnochiton hakodadensis and a Comparison with the Cambrian Halkieria

Halkieria is an Early Cambrian fossil genus with proposed phylogenetic affinities ranging from stem group lophotrochozoan to stem-group aculiferan. Skeletal similarities are often cited as evidence in support of a mollusk interpretation for Halkieria and related Cambrian fossils. The skeletal microstructures of the polyplacophoran mollusk （chiton） Ischnochiton hakodadensis, which bears perinotum elements resembling sclerites of halkieriids and other coeloscleritophoran small shelly fossils （SSFs）, were studied to evaluate the interpretations. There are both similarities and differences between chiton skeletal structures and halkieriid sclerites： 1） the head valve of L hakodadensis and the dorsal shell of Halkieria evangelista share a similar pattern of fine concentric growth lines, but halkieriid dorsal shells lack other polyplacophoran valve characteristics, including V-shaped indentation, radiate ribs; 2） the arrangement of I. hakodadensis perinotum elements in three zones is somewhat similar to the arrangement pattern of halkieriid sclerites; 3） the inner perinotum scales of L hakodadensis （-200 μm in diameter） have a base and a blade, remarkably similar in morphology to halkieriid palmate sclerites （-400 μm in diameter）. However, I. hakodadensis perinotum scales are nearly solid whereas halkieriid sclerites are hollow. These observations add a microstructural dimension to the skeletal comparison between mollusks and halkeriids, and may prove to be useful in resolving the phylogenetic affinity of Halkieria and the Halwaxiidae.     

安徽铜陵地区幔源镁铁质团块研究及其地质意义

幔源岩石包体研究,是认识上地幔岩石圈物质组成、幔源岩浆演化及壳幔动力学过程的重要手段。铜陵地区小铜官山石英二长闪长岩中发育有微粒闪长质包体,并且这些微粒闪长质包体中不均匀地分布着镁铁质团块,三者的形成过程可视为铜陵地区岩浆演化的缩影,为了解本区深部岩浆作用过程提供了有力的证据。在前人研究的基础上,笔者借助电子探针、扫描电镜、电镜能谱和二次飞行时间离子探针(Tof-SIMS)对产于铜陵地区微粒闪长质包体中的镁铁质团块进行了详细的研究,首次获得了一套精确的矿物化学资料和元素分布图,总结了镁铁质团块的特征,并讨论了本区的深部岩浆作用过程。矿物学研究表明,镁铁质团块中的角闪石和辉石均已发生了不同程度的透闪石化和阳起石化蚀变,蚀变过程中,从镁钙闪石到镁角闪石,再到透闪石,随着Si的增加,角闪石呈现出Mg的富集和Ti、Al贫化的特点。团块中的富Cr磁铁矿、Ti磁铁矿和少量的铝直闪石指示了其具有深源性。Tof-SIMS元素分布图显示,透闪石主要由Al、Si、Ca、Sc、V、Cr、Mn、Cu和Sr元素组成,透辉石主要由Si、Mg、Ca、Cu和Rb组成。在铜陵地区,上地幔部分熔融形成一套玄武岩浆,受岩浆底侵作用影响,玄武岩浆上侵,进入下地壳深位岩浆房,与下地壳硅镁层发生同化混染作用,形成一套轻度演化的中基性(辉长质)玄武岩浆,镁铁质团块就是这类中基性玄武岩浆直接结晶形成的。后受构造作用影响,这类中基性玄武岩浆上侵到中地壳岩浆房(12~16 km),与中地壳的变质岩系发生同化混染和结晶分异作用形成一套中性闪长质岩浆,微粒闪长质包体就是这套闪长质岩浆发生结晶分异作用而形成的。镁铁质团块和微粒闪长质包体清楚地解释了铜陵地区深部岩浆作用过程,并有力地证明了铜陵地区中地壳的闪长质岩浆来源于下地壳的壳幔混源岩浆。     

黑龙江张家湾岩体锆石U-Pb年龄与地球化学及其地质意义

通过对兴蒙造山带东段小兴安岭-张广才岭地区张家湾岩体石英闪长岩、正长花岗岩进行的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄分析测试、岩石地球化学的各项分析测试,综合分析研究表明,石英闪长岩形成于早侏罗世(176.2±1.8Ma),具浆混花岗岩特点,属壳幔混合成因;正长花岗岩形成于中侏罗世(166±2.2Ma),具"S"型花岗岩的地球化学属性,属壳源熔融成因。结合该区大地构造背景,认为张家湾岩体很可能是环太平洋增生地体的佳木斯板块与西侧的张广才岭地块碰撞造山作用形成。     

从地壳上地幔构造看洋陆转换作用

根据近年来全球地壳上地幔探测的成果,分析了洋陆转换、地壳和岩石圈加厚的作用过程。洋陆转换作用可分为以下五个演化阶段：① 同大洋扩张期的地壳增厚;② 海沟发生与早期俯冲;③ 俯冲带成熟与沟弧盆体系形成;④ 俯冲带汇聚和位移;⑤ 陆—岛碰撞和陆壳连接。同大洋扩张期的地壳增厚作用指发生在被动大陆边缘的地质作用。包括沉积作用,岩浆底侵作用,下地壳和岩石圈地幔压裂,形成海沟等。海沟形成后陆缘转变为主动大陆边缘,大地构造机制转换为板块俯冲作用。成熟期的洋—陆转换作用特征是海盆扩张和板块俯冲造成的洋壳缩短取得平衡。弧后盆地和弧后边缘海的打开,表明俯冲带进入完全成熟的阶段。洋脊俯冲之后过成熟期的洋—陆转换作用,其特征是海盆逐渐缩小而且板块俯冲带汇聚。这里既有密集的俯冲带又有短期打开的边缘海岭;俯冲带不断位移,既可后撤也可前冲;俯冲板块经常发生断裂和拆沉。过成熟期的板块俯冲结果是边缘海微板块的萎缩。经过陆—岛碰撞,岛弧地壳增厚,与大陆板块连为一体,成为大陆内部的一个构造单元,即显生宙的“古洋—陆转换带”。

赣南黄泥湖铀矿床成矿流体的氦、氩同位素组成及其意义

黄泥湖铀矿床是赣南典型的热液铀矿床,文章通过对该矿床成矿期形成的萤石、方解石和黄铁矿中流体包裹体的He、Ar同位素的测定表明,黄泥湖铀矿床流体包裹体中3 He/4 He值为0.007~2.272Ra(绝大部分在0.024~1.754Ra),40 Ar/36 Ar值为191.6~1126.1(绝大部分高于295.5),认为成矿流体的氦具有壳-幔混合来源特征,其中幔源流体占主导地位,地壳流体端元为含有一定放射性成因Ar的大气降水。结合前人研究成果,认为黄泥湖铀矿床为深源热液成因,与晚燕山期华南岩石圈伸展作用有关。

乌鲁木齐城市空间扩展特征及驱动机制

随着城市化的迅速推进,城市空间扩展研究成为城市发展研究的热点。以统计年鉴数据为参考,以土地利用现状遥感监测数据为主体,以夜间灯光遥感数据为空间校正,进行了城市建设用地的提取及面积计算分析,得到中国新疆维吾尔自治区乌鲁木齐市2000—2006年为中速扩展模式,2007—2013年为高速扩展模式,2014—2018年为快速扩展模式;使用凸壳识别法,得到乌鲁木齐市2000—2018年扩展类型均为填充型;结合扩展模式用质心偏移判定乌鲁木齐扩展方向,得到乌鲁木齐市2006年较2000年,质心向西南方向偏移,2013年较2006年,质心继续向西南方向偏移,2018年较2013年,质心向东北方向偏移;通过标准差椭圆法对乌鲁木齐扩展方向进行验证,得出2006年相对于2000年,沿西北-东南方向扩展,2013年相对于2006年,沿西南-东北方向扩展,2018年相对于2013年,沿西南-东北方向扩展,扩展方向大体上与质心偏移方向相同。乌鲁木齐市城市扩展驱动机制受制于多方面因素影响,多种因素相互作用,在推动城市发展的同时,也造成城市扩展的时空分异。
