Whole-rock chemistry of the Gameleira I uranium deposit,Lagoa Real,Brazil

The Lagoa Real uranium (U) province, referred to as Lagoa Real, is located in the state of Bahia, north-eastern Brazil. Lagoa Real has ∼112,000 metric tonnes and average grade of 2700 ppm of U₃O₈, being one of the largest U deposits in the world and the largest in Brazil. Despite its economic and strategic importance, there are gaps in the geological knowledge of the Lagoa Real U deposits. One of them is the lack of extensive whole-rock chemical data sets. Here, we present whole-rock chemical analyses for major and trace elements, including the rare-earth elements (REE), from barren country rocks to uraniferous ore shoot, systematically sampled from an exploratory drill hole. The chemical data indicate that albitite rocks, with and without uraniferous mineralisation, cannot result from sodic syenitic magmatism, as proposed by recent studies. Petrographical and geochemical evidence supports the previously suggested concept that the Lagoa Real albitite rocks resulted from sodic metasomatism of the granitic country rock, known as the São Timóteo granite. Their ore-mineral assemblages and geochemical characteristics are similar to albitite-hosted U deposits worldwide.     

广东韶关地区土壤环境背景值及其影响因素

土壤元素背景值是土壤环境现状研究的重要内容,查清土壤中元素的含量及分布特征,可为区域环境质量评价、土壤环境标准制定、土地资源优化以及地方性疾病的防治提供科学依据。对广东韶关地区3 969件表层土壤样品中54项元素(指标)进行了研究,并与中国土壤A层背景值及广东土壤A层背景值进行对比。结果表明：韶关地区土壤中聚集了与成矿作用密切相关的元素,并形成高背景场,Mo、I、Br、Ag等元素相对贫乏;成土母质是土壤环境背景值最重要的影响因素,不同母质的土壤元素背景值差异较大;土壤类型及土壤有机质含量对土壤环境背景值有一定的影响,总体来看,黄壤、黄红壤、石灰土为区内大部分元素高背景值土壤类型,红壤与潴育性水稻土的环境背景值大致与全区的背景值相当;赤红壤、紫色土中大部分元素背景值较低,有机质含量与土壤元素背景值呈正相关关系。     

The Valley and Ridge Province of eastern Pennsylvania—stratigraphic and sedimentologic contributions and problems

Many contributions that have led to a better understanding of Appalachian geology have resulted directly from work in the folded Appalachian Mountain and Great Valley sections of the Valley and Ridge physiographic province of eastern Pennsylvania. Disagreements have been common since H.D. Rogers first described the geology of the area in 1858. Many differing opinions still exist regarding the stratigraphy, structural geology, geomorphology, and glacial geology. The rocks in the area, which range from Middle Ordovician to Late Devonian in age, are more than 25000 feet (7620 m) thick. This diversified group of sedimentary rocks was deposited in many different environments, ranging from deep sea, through neritic and tidal, to alluvial. In general, the Middle Ordovician through Lower Devonian strata are a sedimentary cycle related to the waxing and waning of Taconic tectonism. The sequence began with a greywacke-argillite suite (Martinsburg Formation) representing synorogenic basin deepening. This was followed by basin filling and pro-gradation of a sandstone-shale clastic wedge (Shawangunk Formation and Bloomsburg Red Beds) derived from the erosion of the mountains that were uplifted during the Taconic orogeny. The sequence ended with deposition of many thin units of carbonate, sandstone, and shale on a shelf marginal to a land area of low relief. Another tectonic-sedimentary cycle, related to the Acadian orogeny, began with deposition of Middle Devonian rocks. Deep-water shales (Marcellus Shale) preceded shoaling (Mahantango Formation) and turbidite sedimentation (Trimmers Rock Formation) followed by another molasse (Catskill Formation).     

中条裂谷的递进演化与王屋山地区铜矿成矿地质条件分析

对中条—王屋山地区前寒武纪沉积建造、岩浆建造、构造形态的分析后,反演出中条裂谷的递进演化过程,认为王屋山地区在中条裂谷和区域地壳的演化过程中形成了极为有利的成矿条件:①形成多层含矿建造;②通达地幔的深大断裂提供了丰富的矿源和成矿空间;③频繁的岩浆活动补充了矿质并提供了成矿热能;④剥离断层系统进一步提供了扩容空间;⑤以活化转移为主要机制的强烈变形变质作用对已形成的含矿建造(矿源层)进行改造。因此,王屋山地区具有巨大的找矿潜力。     

河北小石门银金矿床地质地球化学特征与矿床成因

河北小石门银金矿床位于小寺沟斑岩铜钼矿床的南西侧.矿体呈脉状、透镜状,银金矿化受NNE向断裂控制,成矿与杂岩体及二长斑岩有关;矿物组合主要为中低温矿物组合,成矿温度240～365℃;流体包裹体研究表明成矿流体富硫,有较高的K ,NH4 ,Ca2 和Na ,成矿热液为岩浆热液;硫同位素分析显示,硫来源于岩浆;稀土元素分析亦表明成矿物质来自于二长斑岩及小寺沟岩体,而铅锌矿可能部分来源于地层.推断小石门银金矿床为中低温热液矿床.

广东三水盆地西缘横江铅锌矿床的成矿时代及新生代找铜前景

近年来,在广东三水盆地及其西缘三洲盆地中,先后发现了长坑大型金矿床和富湾超大型银矿床及横江、茶山等铅锌矿床。为了查明横江铅锌矿床的成矿时代,文章采用了两种不同的方法,在两个不同的实验室内,分别测得该矿床中石英的形成年龄为35Ma(流体包裹体Rb_Sr等时线法)和36~39Ma(40Ar/39Ar快中子活化法),两者基本一致。这表明多金属成矿作用发生在渐新世,晚于长坑金矿床和富湾银矿床。最近,在横江铅锌矿床中发现铜的含量也很高。矿石中金属矿物主要是黄铜矿、辉铜矿、闪锌矿和方铅矿。因此,铜矿化的存在与富集,为三水盆地及其周边地区贵金属和有色金属的地质找矿提供了重要的新线索,同时也为在其他盆地区寻找有色金属矿床打开了新的思路。     

陕南岚皋县柳家坡滑坡形成机制研究

柳家坡滑坡位于陕西岚皋县城北,属松散坡积物类滑坡。滑体为粘质砾砂土,渗透性差,受动水压力作用易发生流土;滑床为泥板岩和片岩。滑体和滑床工程地质性质差异明显,二者界面为滑体下滑的主滑面。该滑坡为一古滑坡,曾多次发生变形滑动,2003年在连续强降雨和坡脚切坡等因素诱发下重新活动,目前处于欠稳定状态,若遇强降雨仍有可能发生整体失稳。对陕西南秦岭区域滑坡调查表明无论是滑坡类型,还是滑坡体物质组成及变形规律,柳家坡滑坡在陕南都具有一定的代表性。
