鞍山中太古代铁架山花岗岩中表壳岩包体的地球化学特征及地质意义

鞍山地区中太古代铁架山花岗岩中存在多种类型的表壳岩包体。本文对其中 类变泥砂质岩石进行了研究。一类包括云母石英片岩、黑云变粒岩、浅粒岩, 它们高钾低钠, 具有强的负铕异常(Eu/Eu^* = 0.10~0.23) 和负钡异常(Ba/Ba^*＝^*＝0.09～0.23),t_DM和ε_Nd(3.0 Ga)变化范围分别为3.36～3.51 Ga和-3.89～-1.59.岩石高的成熟度和长的地壳滞留时间表明鞍山地区中太古代以前陆壳基底就有了相当的规模,并具有很长的地壳演化历史.它们在元素组成上与铁架山花岗岩十分相似,相互间存在物源上的成因联系.铁架山花岗岩的t_DM和ε_Nd(3.0 Ga)变化范围分别为3.39～3.70 Ga和-4.99～-2.36,Sm、Nd同位素组成与变质泥砂质岩石存在一定差异,看来主要与前者形成过程中源区选择性部分熔融和稀土组成发生变化有关.另一类为黑云斜长片麻岩,组成上与第一类变泥砂质岩石存在较大区别,而与古太古代陈台沟花岗岩较为相似,相互间可能存在物源上的成因联系.它们对铁架山岩体部分轻、重稀土强烈分离花岗质岩石的形成可能起了一定作用.物源区的复杂性是铁架山花岗岩组成上存在较大变化的主要原因.     

汝城地区晚中生代火山岩地球化学特征及其对源区属性的指示

湘东南汝城地区发育一套由基性玄武岩和中酸性安山质-英安质岩石组成的火山岩建造,属于低钾拉斑系列,该火山岩系中两个玄武岩的K-Ar年龄分别为124.5±2.5Ma和127.6±1.9Ma,属晚侏罗—早白垩世产物。在主、微量元素上两者成分存在明显差异。其中安山质-英安质岩石具有高MgO特征,属高MgO岩石,LILE富集、Nb-Ta、Sr-P亏损强烈,(La/Yb)N=6.7～7.9,Eu*/Eu=0.74～0.85,具岛弧型微量元素配分型式,87Sr/86Sr(t)=0.71079～0.71118,εNd(t)=-7.64～-8.16,与adakites高Mg岩石有着明显的差别,可能是富集岩石圈地幔熔融后直接分异的产物;玄武岩LILE富集,Nb-Ta富集,(La/Yb)cn=4.0～4.3,Eu*/Eu=1.00～1.16,具OIB型微量元素配分型式,87Sr/86Sr(t)=0.70812～0.70832,εNd(t)=0.48～1.03,其源区具二元混合趋势,其源区可能是富集型岩石圈地幔端员与亏损的软流圈地幔端员的混合产物。汝城地区晚中生代玄武岩和高Mg安山质-英安质岩石源区属性的限定及其相互的空间依存关系表明该区晚中生代时有着较薄的岩石圈厚度,处于岩石圈伸展减薄的大地构造背景。     

Origine du matériel altéré et hétérogénéité du matériel originel de la météorite Foum Tatahouine (Tunisie) : éléments traces et isotopes du SrOrigin of altered material and heterogeneity of original material in the Foum Tatahouine meteorite (Tunisia): Trace elements and Sr isotopes

Foum Tatahouine is one of the rare meteorites that allow studying weathering effects since their fall on Earth. The comparison between clasts collected the very day of the fall (1931) and in 1994 showed some chemical modifications. We report data obtained on samples collected in 2000. The purpose of this study is: (1) to define (REE, Sr isotopes) the terrestrial weathering origin that is to be found in soil carbonates, (2) to show (Sr, Rb, REE) that the weathering effects are small on centimetre-sized samples, and (3) to emphasise (HREE) Foum Tatahouine samples heterogeneity.

Preliminary optical and radiocarbon age determinations for Upper Pleistocene alluvial sediments in the southern Anti Atlas Mountains,MoroccoDatation des sédiments alluviaux du Pléistocène supérieur du versant sud de l'Anti-Atlas,Maroc

This paper presents the first results of a ¹⁴C and optical luminescence dating project on extensive alluvial silt formations in the southern Anti Atlas Mountains in southern Morocco. The silts comprise three members: basal silts, an inter-silt fluvial gravel member and a top silt member and are incised by the rivers. Top silt dates are: 11 340–11 940, 12 670–13 130 cal. yr BP, and 10.6±0.7 ka (OSL). OSL dates for the inter-silt gravels are 29.6±2.0 ka and for the bottom silts is 45.0±3.7 ka. The sediments correlate with Soltanian stratigraphies known elsewhere in Morocco. To cite this article: M. Thorp et al., C. R. Geoscience 334 (2002) 903–908.     

Geology and geochemistry of the Caxias gold deposit, and geochronology of the gold-hosting Caxias Microtonalite, São Luís Craton, northern Brazil

The Caxias gold deposit, located in the São Luís Craton, is hosted by a steeply dipping strike-slip shear zone crosscutting schists and a fine-grained, hydrothermally altered tonalite (Caxias Microtonalite). Petrography and whole-rock geochemistry have characterized both pelitic and mafic protoliths for the hosting schists. The Caxias Microtonalite shows major and trace element behavior compatible with modern calc-alkaline, metaluminous, subduction-related granitoids. Geochronological studies on the Caxias Microtonalite have defined a minimum crystallization age of 1985±4 Ma, obtained by single-zircon Pb evaporation, and Sm–Nd crustal residence age (T_DM) of 2.17 Ga, with Nd(T) +0.74, suggesting a juvenile protolith. The exact origin and role of the Caxias Microtonalite remain uncertain. It may be interpreted as representing either a late manifestation of the regionally dominant Tromaí magmatism, or a juvenile episode unrelated to this major magmatism. Rock, quartz veins, and saprolite geochemistry have shown that As, Sb, Ba, Rb, V, Cr, Co, and Ni, as well as Au, are useful elements that can be used in exploration for similar deposits in the region.     

中国辽东地区超大型菱镁矿矿床的地球化学特征和成因模式

我国辽东地区早元古代大石桥组镁质碳酸盐-泥质岩建造中赋存有多个超大型菱镁矿矿床。在这些矿床中,菱铁矿矿体均只限定在大石桥组三段岩层中。该层岩石主要由白云质大理岩、菱镁质大理岩、菱镁矿和少量泥质板岩薄层组成。赋矿层位之下地层为大石桥组二段的云母片岩;其下为大石桥组一段的白云质大理岩与云母片岩夹层。在大石桥组一段中未见菱铁矿体产出。研究表明,菱铁矿的δ18O值为5.2‰~13.8‰,低于围岩大理岩的δ18O值(11.2‰~22.8‰)。但两音的δ13C值大多接近零值,其中菱镁矿δ13C值变化为-1.4‰~1.2‰,大理岩δ13C值变化为-4.5‰~4 4‰。在菱镁矿层位中发现有石膏成层和脉状产出,其δ34S值为23.9‰~26.5‰,显示海相蒸发沉积特征。菱镁矿的稀土元素分析表明存在三种不同页岩标准化配分模式。类型Ⅰ显示中稀土富集特征,类型Ⅲ显示重稀土富集和正铕异常特征,它们可能反映了不同时期成矿热液的特征。而类型Ⅱ显示与围岩大理岩相同的平坦型,反映继承了原岩沉积碳酸盐岩的特征。本文认为,辽东地区的镁质碳酸盐岩(镁方解石和白云石)可能是从蒸发的泻湖盆地中沉积的,而菱镁矿石则主要是沉积后富镁卤水下渗交代原岩碳酸盐岩形成的。由于大石桥组二段云母片岩渗透率低隔水性强,因此菱铁矿的矿化交代作用只发     

Petrology and geochemistry of the Salma dike, Raniganj coalfield (Lower Gondwana), eastern India: linkage with Rajmahal or Deccan volcanic activity?

The Gondwana (Early Permian to Early Cretaceous) basins of eastern India have been intruded by ultramafic–ultrapotassic (minette, lamproite and orangeite) and mafic (dolerite) rocks. The Salma dike is the most prominent among mafic intrusives in the Raniganj basin. This dike is tholeiitic in composition; MgO varies from 5.4 to 6.3% and the mg number from 54 to 59. In general, the major and trace element abundances are uniform both along and across the strike. There is geochemical and mineralogical evidence for fractional crystallization. The chondrite normalized REE pattern of the Salma dike (La/Yb_n=3.5) is similar to that of Deccan dikes of the Son–Narmada rift zone, western India. ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr varies from 0.70552 to 0.70671 suggesting assimilation of crustal material. Some trace element abundances (e.g. Ti, Zr, Y) of the Salma dike are comparable to Group I Rajmahal basalts. The ⁴⁰Ar–³⁹Ar whole rock age of 65 Ma for the Salma dike is less than the ca. 114 Ma age for the Rajmahal basalt, but is similar to the generally accepted age for Deccan volcanic rocks. Despite geographical proximity with the Rajmahal basalt, the Salma dike is believed to be related to late phase of Deccan volcanic activity.     

The Greer Lake leucogranite, Manitoba, and the origin of lepidolite-subtype granitic pegmatites

The Archean Greer Lake leucogranite intruded metabasalts of the Bird River Greenstone Belt in the southwestern part of the Superior Province of southeastern Manitoba. The considerably evolved, multiphase, peraluminous, B-, P-, and S-poor leucogranite (K/Rb 132 to 24) was probably generated by fault-friction-assisted anatexis of dominantly metatonalitic rocks and subsequent differentiation. The leucogranite produced interior, transitional, non-crosscutting pods of barren, beryl-columbite- and lepidolite-subtype pegmatites that solidified from local segregations of highly fractionated residual melt. Steep fractionation gradients characterize the granite-to-pegmatite transition, most conspicuously so in the case of the most evolved, Li, Rb, Cs, Be, Mn, Sn, Nb-Ta, F-rich, lepidolite-subtype pod AC #3 (with K/Rb ≥ 16 and Cs 330 ppmwt in accessory K-feldspar, ≥2.5 and ≤11,200 ppmwt, respectively, in lepidolite, Cs ≤28,000 ppmwt in beryl, and Ta/(Ta+Nb) at. ≤ 0.95 in manganotantalite). The Greer Lake example documents beyond any doubt the igneous derivation of lepidolite-subtype pegmatites from a plutonic parent. Most cases of generally very scarce lepidolite-subtype pegmatites obscure this relationship, as the volatile-rich, highly fluid melts stable to relatively low temperatures commonly migrate to great distances from their plutonic sources.     

Métabasites de la cordillère occidentale d'Équateur,témoins du soubassement océanique des Andes d'Équateur

The building-up of the Andean Range is linked to the subduction of the Pacific lithosphere beneath the South American plate. However, the formation of the Central Andes is marked by continental crustal shortening, whereas accretion and underplating of exotic oceanic terranes occurred in the northern Andes. The study of various magmatic and metamorphic rocks exhumed in the Western Cordillera of Ecuador by Miocene transpressive faults enables us to constrain the nature and thermal evolution of the crustal root of this part of Ecuador. These rocks are geochemically similar to oceanic plateau basalts. The thermobarometric peak conditions of a granulite and an amphibolite indicate temperatures of 800–850?°C and pressures less than 6–9 kbar (lack of garnet). The abnormally high geothermal gradient (≈40?°C?km^?1) is probably due to the activity of the magmatic arc, which developed on the accreted oceanic terranes after Late Eocene times, and may have provoked the re-mobilisation of deeply underplated oceanic material during the genesis of the Neogene to Recent arc.

Elemental composition of calcites in late Quaternary pedogenic calcretes from Gujarat, western India

Pedogenic calcretes commonly exhibit clotted micrite, circum-granular calcite (grain coats) and microspar/spar veins. The three calcite-types with different dimensions were analyzed for their magnesium content to determine the relationship between crystal elongation and magnesium incorporation. The results show a very low MgO content for grain coats and microspars and high values for clotted micrite indicating that the ideal kinetic model does not hold true and several variables govern the end composition of calcites. The magnesium concentrations of meteoric calcites are genetically linked to the evolutionary history of the soil and climate. Grain coats, which are elongated calcites, contain the least amount of Mg and is related to the initial stages of pedogenesis wherein the limiting factor is the Mg/Ca ratio of the parent fluid. Lower magnesium contents arise due to smaller quantities of Mg being released during incipient weathering. Micrite morphology and composition is controlled by the greater availability of Mg ions through weathering, higher pCO₂ in soil due to increased time-dependent soil respiration, which causes a rise in calcite precipitation rates and clay authigenesis. This in turn exerts a physical control on morphology by occluding pore space and providing numerous nuclei for calcite precipitation. The wide variability in spar cements is inherently controlled by inhomogeneties in parent fluid compositions with lower-than-micrite values on account of slower precipitation rates.
