滇西兰坪盆地茅草坪脉状Cu矿床流体包裹体和稳定同位素地球化学研究

兰坪盆地西缘发育一条重要的脉状Cu矿带,矿床的成矿流体来源一直存在较大的争议。本次研究对该矿带南段新发现的茅草坪矿床进行流体包裹体和H-O-C-S同位素研究,结合前人发表的该矿带矿床的同位素数据,探讨矿床成矿流体特征和来源。茅草坪矿床早(A1脉)、晚(A2脉)两期含矿石英脉中的流体包裹体均为含CO2盐水包裹体,可细分为含石盐子晶、富液相(水溶液相)、富气相(CO2相)包裹体等不同类型。根据流体包裹体的共生特点,将其划分为3组包裹体组合:(1)第I组,出现在A1脉石英中,为富液相(I-W型)、富气相(I-C型)和含石盐子晶(I-S型)包裹体共生;(2)第Ⅱ组,同样出现在A1脉石英中,为富液相(Ⅱ-W型)和富气相(Ⅱ-C型)包裹体共生;(3)第Ⅲ组,出现在A2脉石英中,为富液相(Ⅲ-W型)和富气相(Ⅲ-C型)包裹体共生。测温结果显示:I-S型包裹体均一温度在293~370℃之间,流体盐度为30.06%~39.76%Na Cleqv;Ⅱ-W型包裹体均一温度在302~490℃之间,流体盐度为1.23%~18.63%Na Cleqv;Ⅲ-W型包裹体均一温度在263~400℃之间,流体盐度为1.20%~11.34%Na Cleqv。同一组内,包裹体气/液相比高度变化,表明包裹体捕获时的流体呈不均一态,此时包裹体均一温度中低值部分近似代表该组包裹体真实的捕获温度。因此,从I组到Ⅲ组,包裹体分别捕获于280~320℃(I组、Ⅱ组)和260~280℃(Ⅲ组),结合盐度数据,反应初始成矿流体发生沸腾作用,伴随石盐子晶析出,流体盐度下降,随后温度降低。茅草坪矿床成矿流体富CO2的特点与区域内其他脉状Cu矿床一致,但盐度明显偏高。矿床热液石英的δDV-SMOW值变化在-94.6‰~-56.2‰之间,计算的流体的δ18OV-SMOW值集中在+8.1‰~+9.6‰之间,与区域其他脉状Cu矿床相似,数据主要落在原生岩浆水区域的下方,表明流体来源于岩浆水,但经历了开放系统下的脱气作用,没有盆地流体或大气降水的贡献;热液碳酸盐方解石的δ13CV-PDF值为-8.3‰~-2.4‰,δ18OV-SMOW值为14.46‰~16.63‰,与区域其他脉状Cu矿床的C-O同位素组成相似,但C同位素组成明显低于区域脉状Pb-Zn矿床(碳主要来自盆地流体溶解的碳酸盐岩);黄铜矿的δ34SV-CDT值变化于-6.4‰~-3.9‰之间,处于区域其他脉状Cu矿床的S同位素组成范围内,但区别于区域砂岩型Cu矿床(硫来自硫酸盐的细菌还原作用)。因此,推测矿床的CO2和硫可能也来自脱气的岩浆。茅草坪脉状Cu矿床成矿流体的研究表明:兰坪盆地西缘脉状Cu矿床成矿流体可能来自富CO2、经历脱气的岩浆水,没有大气降水和盆地卤水的参与。     

四川盆地东部三叠系嘉陵江组成盐期浓缩海水古温度及其意义

四川盆地东部嘉陵江组四段石盐岩中发育大量原生的单一液相包裹体,为揭示石盐结晶时古海水的温度,恢复早三叠世古气候提供了有利条件。本文在蒸发岩岩相学研究的基础上,对流体包裹体均一温度进行了测试。测温结果表明,石盐结晶时卤水的温度在17.7~63.5℃之间,与该地区碳酸盐岩氧同位素数据所反映的温度特征基本一致,说明早三叠世时海水具有较高的温度。这有利于古海水的强烈蒸发浓缩,为成钾奠定了良好的气候条件。     

古盐湖卤水温度对钾盐沉积的控制作用探讨

古盐湖卤水的温度对钾盐沉积的控制作用的定量研究是钾盐成矿机理分析的重点和难点。本文分析和测试陕北盐盆奥陶系马家沟组、四川盆地三叠系嘉陵江组、云南兰坪-思茅盆地白垩系及老挝沙空那空盆地白垩系等八个含盐系的石盐岩中的流体包裹体,并利用均一温度计算了古盐湖的蒸发速率。若以老挝白垩纪时盐湖的蒸发速率为标准值100,陕北奥陶纪、四川三叠纪、云南白垩纪的蒸发速率标准值分别为54、68和90,而目前在老挝和云南白垩系都找到了一定规模的钾盐矿,因此高温(气温及水温)是盐湖成钾的有利条件,在卤水演化成钾的过程中可以起到重要的"催化"作用。     

滇西北衙斑岩型金多金属矿床成矿流体特征及其演化

北衙超大型金多金属矿床位于扬子陆块西缘与三江特提斯造山带的结合部位。本文通过对北衙矿区内的斑岩体石英斑晶、斑岩型矿化、矽卡岩矿化中的矽卡岩及外围似层状热液型铅锌银矿化的岩(矿)石中发育的流体包裹体进行了系统研究,发现北衙矿区内主要发育CO2、富CO2、含CO2、含子矿物三相、富气相水溶液及气液两相水溶液包裹体六类流体包裹体;与斑岩型矿化有关的成矿流体为中-高温Na Cl-H2O-CO2体系热液,矽卡岩矿化相关成矿流体为一种高温的Na Cl-H2O及Na Cl-H2O-CO2体系热液,而外围似层状铅锌银矿化相关的成矿流体则为中温的Na Cl-H2O-CO2体系热液。对比分析表明,矽卡岩矿化中的矽卡岩矿物(以绿帘石类矿物为主)形成较早,其中发育富气相的流体包裹体,可以推断岩浆侵位后先分异出富水蒸气的流体,此后CO2才从成矿流体中大量分异。斑岩型矿化及外围地层中似层状铅锌银矿化脉体中发育的流体包裹体与斑岩体石英斑晶内发育的流体包裹体组合类型基本一致,表明成矿流体主要来自斑岩体结晶分异出的岩浆热液。流体包裹体研究表明,北衙金多金属矿区内的矽卡岩型(金铜铁)、斑岩型(铜金钼)及外围碳酸盐岩等地层中的似层状热液型(铅锌银)矿床系列为与富碱斑岩体侵位活动有关的,由岩浆分异热液并逐渐演化形成的斑岩型金-铁铜-铅锌(银)多金属成矿系统。     

Compositions and Pressure–Temperature Conditions of Metamorphic Fluids Overprinting the Talate VMS Pb–Zn Deposit, Southern Altay, China

The Talate Pb-Zn deposit,located in the east of the NW-SE extending Devonian Kelan volcanic-sedimentary basin of the southern Altaides,occurs in the metamorphic rock series of the upper second lithological section of the lower Devonian lower Kangbutiebao Formation(D_1k_1~2).The Pb-Zn orebodies are stratiform and overprinted by late sulfide—quartz veins.Two distinct mineralization periods were identified:a submarine volcanic sedimentary exhalation period and a metamorphic hydrothermal mineralization period.The metamorphic overprinting period can be further divided into two stages:an early stage characterized by bedding-parallel lentoid quartz veins developed in the chlorite schist and leptite of the ore-bearing horizon,and a late stage represented by pyritechalcopyrite-quartz veins crosscutting chlorite schist and leptite or the massive Pb-Zn ores.Fluid inclusions in the early metamorphic quartz veins are mainly CO_2-H_2O-NaCI and carbonic(CO_2±CH_4±N_2) inclusions with minor aqueous inclusions.The CO_2-H_2O-NaCl inclusions have homogenization temperatures of 294-368℃,T_(m,CO2) of-62.6 to-60.5℃,T_(h,CO2) of 7.7 to 29.6℃(homogenized into liquid),and salinities of 5.5-7.4 wt%NaCl eqv.The carbonic inclusions have T_(m,CO2)of-60.1 to-58.5℃,and T_(h,Co2) of-4.2 to 20.6℃.Fluid inclusions in late sulfide quartz veins are also dominated by CO_2-H_2O-NaCl and CO_2±CH_4 inclusions.The CO_2-H_2O-NaCl inclusions have T_(b,tot) of142 to 360℃,T_(m,CO2)of-66.0 to-56.6℃,T_(h,CO2) of-6.0 to 29.4℃(homogenized into liquid) and salinities of 2.4-16.5 wt%NaCl eqv.The carbonic inclusions have T_(m,Co2)of-61.5 to-57.3℃,and T_(h,CO2) of-27.0to 28.7℃.The aqueous inclusions(L-V) have T_(m,ice) of-9.8 to-1.3℃ and T_(h,tot) of 205 to 412℃.The P-T trapping conditions of CO_2-rich fluid inclusions(100-370 MPa,250-368℃) are comparable with the late- to post-regional metamorphism conditions.The CO_2-rich fluids,possibly derived from regional metamorphism,were involved in the reworking and metal enrichment of the primary ores.Based on these results,the Talate Pb-Zn deposit is classified as a VMS deposit modified by metamorphic fluids.The massive Pb-Zn ores with banded and breccia structures were developed in the early period of submarine volcanic sedimentary exhalation associated with an extensional subduction-related back-arc basin,and the quartz veins bearing polymetallic sulfides were formed in the late period of metamorphic hydrothermal superimposition related to the Permian-Triassic continental collision.     

A range of fault slip styles on progressively misoriented planes during flexural-slip folding,Cape Fold Belt,South Africa

Flexural slip folds are distinctive of mixed continuous-discontinuous deformation in the upper crust, as folding is accommodated by continuous bending of layers and localized, discontinuous slip along layer interfaces. The mechanism of localized, layer-parallel slip and the stress and fluid pressure conditions at which flexural slip occurs are therefore distinctive of shear localization during distributed deformation. In the Prince Albert Formation mudstone sequence of the Karoo Basin, the foreland basin to the Cape Fold Belt, folds are well developed and associated with incrementally developed bedding-parallel quartz veins with slickenfibers oriented perpendicular to fold hinge lines, locally cross-cutting axial planar cleavage, and showing hanging wall motion toward the fold hinge. Bedding-parallel slickenfiber-coated veins dip at angles from 18° to 83°, implying that late increments of bedding-parallel shear occurred along unfavorably oriented planes. The local presence of tensile veins, in mutually cross-cutting relationship with bedding-parallel, slickenfiber-coated veins, indicate local fluid pressures in excess of the least compressive stress.Slickenfiber vein microstructures include a range of quartz morphologies, dominantly blocky to elongate-blocky, but in places euhedral to subhedral; the veins are commonly laminated, with layers of quartz separated by bedding-parallel slip surfaces characterized by a quartz-phyllosilicate cataclasite. Crack-seal bands imply incremental slickenfiber growth, in increments from tens of micrometers to a few millimeters, in some places, whereas other vein layers lack evidence for incremental growth and likely formed in single slip events. Single slip events, however, also involved quartz growth into open space, and are inferred to have formed by stick-slip faulting. Overall, therefore, flexural slip in this location involved bedding-parallel faulting, along progressively misoriented weak planes, with a range of slip increments.     

Structure and stability of rotating fluid disks around massive objects. I. Newtonian formulation

In this paper we have presented a very general class of solutions for rotating fluid disks around massive objects (neglecting the self gravitation of the disk) with density as a function of the radial coordinate only and pressure being nonzero. Having considered a number of cases with different density and velocity distributions, we have analysed the stability of such disks under both radial and axisymmetric perturbations. For a perfect gas disk with γ= 5/3 the disk is stable with frequency (MG/r³)^1/2 for purely radial pulsation with expanding and contracting boundary. In the case of axisymmetric perturbation the critical γ_c for neutral stability is found to be much less than 4/3 indicating that such disks are mostly stable under such perturbations.

Geostatistical analysis of field hydraulic conductivity in compacted clay

Hydraulic conductivity(K) of fractured or porous materials is associated intimately with water flow and chemical transport. Basic concepts imply uniform flux through a homogeneous cross-sectional area. If flow were to occur only through part of the area, actual rates could be considerably different. Because laboratory values ofK in compacted clays seldom agree with field estimates, questions arise as to what the true values ofK are and how they should be estimated. Hydraulic conductivity values were measured on a 10×25 m elevated bridge-like platform. A constant water level was maintained for 1 yr over a 0.3-m thick layer of compacted clay, and inflow and outflow rates were monitored using 10×25 grids of 0.3-m diameter infiltration rings and outflow drains subtending approximately 1×1 m blocks of compacted clay. Variography of inflow and outflow data established relationships between cores and blocks of clay, respectively. Because distributions of outflow rates were much less and bore little resemblance to the distributions of break-through rates based on tracer studies, presence of macropores and preferential flow through the macropores was suspected. Subsequently, probability kriging was applied to reevaluate distribution of flux rates and possible location of macropores. Sites exceeding a threshold outflow of 100×10^–9 m/s were classified as outliers and were assumed to probably contain a significant population of macropores. Different sampling schemes were examined. Variogram analysis of outflows with and without outliers suggested adequacy of sampling the site at 50 randomly chosen locations. Because of the potential contribution of macropores to pollutant transport and the practical necessity of extrapolating small plot values to larger areas, conditional simulations with and without outliers were carried out. Simulated scenarios based on all available data compared well with conditional simulations based on randomly chosen locations.This paper was presented at MGUS 87 Conference, Redwood City, California, 14 April 1987.     

青海东昆仑造山型金（锑）矿床成矿流体地球化学研究

青海东昆仑是我国重要的、极富潜力的金属成矿带,其中产出的金矿床不仅具有相似的地质特征,而且与本区晚华力西-印支期造山过程有密切的成因联系,并在产出构造背景、矿体特征、控矿构造、围岩蚀变、矿物组成和元素组合等方面与一般造山型金矿床极为相似,因此应属典型的造山型金矿床.矿床流体包裹体十分发育,包括富CO2、CO2-H2O和H2O-NaCl三种类型,显微测温结果显示,成矿流体为一套中低温(120～380℃)、低盐度(0.35～9.54wt%NaCl)的H2O-CO2-NaCl-CH4±N2流体体系.氢、氧、碳同位素及水-岩交换反应研究表明,成矿流体早期主要为变质水和地层建造水,成矿期以来以大气降水为主.流体不混溶、大气降水的不断加入以及水-岩交换作用是导致本区成矿流体中金、锑淀积成矿的主要因素.     

Hydrothermal mixing,carbonate dissolution and sulfide precipitation in Mississippi Valley-type deposits

A large number of Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) deposits are located within dissolution zones in carbonate host rocks. Some genetic models propose the existence of cavities generated by an earlier event such as a shallow karstification, that were subsequently filled with hydrothermal minerals. Alternative models propose carbonate dissolution caused by the simultaneous precipitation of sulfides. These models fail to explain either the deep geological setting of the cavities, or the observational features which suggest that the dissolution of carbonates and the precipitation of minerals filling the cavities are not strictly coeval. We present a genetic model inspired by the textural characteristics of MVT deposits that accounts for both the dissolution of carbonate and precipitation of sulfides and later carbonates in variable volumes. The model is based on the mixing of two hydrothermal fluids with a different chemistry. Depending on the proportion of the end members, the mixture dissolves and precipitates carbonates even though the two mixing solutions are both independently saturated in carbonates. We perform reactive transport simulations of mixing of a regional groundwater and brine ascending through a fracture, both saturated in calcite, but with different overall chemistries (Ca and carbonate concentrations, pH, etc). As a result of the intrinsic effects of chemical mixing, a carbonate dissolution zone, which is enhanced by acid brines, appears above the fracture, and another zone of calcite precipitation builds up between the cavity and the surrounding rock. Sulfide forms near the fracture and occupies a volume smaller than the cavity. A decline of the fluid flux in the fracture would cause the precipitation of calcite within the previously formed cavities. Therefore, dissolution of carbonate host rock, sulfide precipitation within the forming cavity, and later filling by carbonates may be part of the same overall process of mixing of fluids in the carbonate host rock.Editorial handling: C.
