Chronology and Geochemistry of Volcanic Rocks in the Cretaceous Suifenhe Formation in Eastern Heilongjiang, China

Zircon U-Pb ages and geochemical data of volcanic rocks in the Suifenhe Formation in eastern Heilongjiang Province are reported, and their petrogenesis is discussed in this paper. The Suifenhe Formation mainly consists of basalt, andesite, and dacite. Zircon from andesite and dacite are euhedral in shape and show typical oscillatory zoning with high Th/U ratios (0.18-0.57), implying its magmatic origin. Zircon U-Pb dating results by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (LA-ICP-MS) indicate that the 206Pb/238U ages of zircons from andesite range within 105-106 Ma, yielding a weighted mean age of 105.5±0.8 Ma (n=14), and that 206Pb/238U ages of zircons from dacite are between 90-96 Ma, yielding a weighted mean age of 93.2±1.3 Ma (n =13). The volcanic rocks from the Suifenhe Formation are subalkaline series and show a calc-alkaline evolutionary trend with SiO2 content of 47.69%-65.47%, MgO contents of 1.42%-6.80% (Mg#= 45-53), and Na2O/K2O ratios of 1.83-3.63. They are characterized by enrichment in large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and light-rare-earth elements (LREE), depletion in heavy rare earth elements (HREE) and high field strength elements (HFSE) (e.g., Nb, Ta, Ti), and low initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7041-0.7057) and positiveεNd(t) values (039-4.08), implying that they could be derived from a depleted magma source. Taken together, these results suggest that the primary magma of the volcanic rocks might originate from partial melting of the mantle wedge metasomatized by fluids derived from subducted slab under a tectonic setting of active continental margin.

华夏“四极”风光

我国的“东极村”是黑龙江省抚远县乌苏镇。此镇位于黑龙江与乌苏里江汇合处，是中国雄鸡形版图的鸡嘴最尖处，被誉为华夏东方第一镇。早晨，乌苏镇第一个迎来朝阳，而此时的西部帕米尔高原却正值午夜。游人在乌苏看日出，可成为中国人中最早迎来光明的人。乌苏镇又名“窝鸡口”，     

“金半岛”“金镶边”“金三角”

我国是世界上采金最早的国家之一。大约四千多年以前，中国人已开始采金。商、周时代，掌握了黄金的冶炼和冷加工技术。汉、唐、宋、元、明、清各代，山东、黑龙江和云南等地，都出现过采金热潮。我国历史上采金以砂金为主。唐朝刘禹锡有一首名的《浪淘沙》词：
