Structural studies and their bearing on the Early Precambrian history of the Dharwar tectonic province,southern India

In the Dharwar tectonic province, the Peninsular Gneiss was considered to mark an event separating the deposition of the older supracrustal Sargur Group and the younger supracrustal Dharwar Supergroup. Compelling evidence for the evolution of the Peninsular Gneiss, a polyphase migmatite, spanning over almost a billion years from 3500 Ma to 2500 Ma negates a stratigraphic status for this complex, so that the decisive argument for separating the older and younger supracrustal groups loses its basis. Correlatable sequence of superposed folding in all the supracrustal rocks, the Peninsular Gneiss and the banded granulites, indicate that the gneiss ‘basement’ deformed in a ductile manner along with the cover rocks. An angular unconformity between the Sargur Group and the Dharwar Super-group, suggested from some areas in recent years, has been shown to be untenable on the basis of detailed studies, A number of small enclaves distributed throughout the gneissic terrane, with an earlier deformational, metamorphic and migmatitic history, provide the only clue to the oldest component which has now been extensively reworked.     

Subduction,mega-shear systems and Late Palaeozoic basin development in the African segment of Gondwana

 Basins within the African sector of Gondwana contain a Late Palaeozoic to Early Mesozoic Gondwana sequence unconformably overlying Precambrian basement in the interior and mid-Palaeozoic strata along the palaeo-Pacific margin. Small sea-board Pacific basins form an exception in having a Carboniferous to Early Permian fill overlying Devonian metasediments and intrusives. The Late Palaeozoic geographic and tectonic changes in the region followed four well-defined consecutive events which can also be traced outside the study area. During the Late Devonian to Early Carboniferous period (up to 330 Ma) accretion of microplates along the Patagonian margin of Gondwana resulted in the evolution of the Pacific basins. Thermal uplift of the Gondwana crust and extensive erosion causing a break in the stratigraphic record characterised the period between 300 and 330 Ma. At the end of this period the Gondwana Ice Sheet was well established over the uplands. The period 260–300 Ma evidenced the release of the Gondwana heat and thermal subsidence caused widespread basin formation. Late Carboniferous transpressive strike-slip basins (e.g. Sierra Australes/Colorado, Karoo-Falklands, Ellsworth-Central Transantarctic Mountains) in which thick glacial deposits accumulated, formed inboard of the palaeo-Pacific margin. In the continental interior the formation of Zambesi-type rift and extensional strike-slip basins were controlled by large mega-shear systems, whereas rare intracratonic thermal subsidence basins formed locally. In the Late Permian the tectonic regime changed to compressional largely due to northwest-directed subduction along the palaeo-Pacific margin. The orogenic cycle between 240 and 260 Ma resulted in the formation of the Gondwana fold belt and overall north–south crustal shortening with strike-slip motions and regional uplift within the interior. The Gondwana fold belt developed along a probable weak crustal zone wedged in between the cratons and an overthickened marginal crustal belt subject to dextral transpressive motions. Associated with the orogenic cycle was the formation of mega-shear systems one of which (Falklands-East Africa-Tethys shear) split the supercontinent in the Permo-Triassic into a West and an East Gondwana. By a slight clockwise rotation of East Gondwana a supradetachment basin formed along the Tethyan margin and northward displacement of Madagascar, West Falkland and the Gondwana fold belt occurred relative to a southward motion of Africa.

鄂西震旦系上统含磷岩系的划分与对比

上震旦统陡山沱组是鄂西地区最具工业价值的含磷地层。著名的磷矿有荆襄磷矿、宜昌磷矿、兴(山)神(农架)保(康)磷矿。迄今已有20多年的勘探史,但由于各矿区研究程度不一,又缺古生物依据,亦不能依靠同位素年龄来作划分对比,故在地层及磷矿层的划分、对比上认识不一。笔者结合磷矿特征及含磷岩系岩类组合、剖面结构特点、稀土元素特征等,将本区划分为4个磷矿分布区,将陡山沱组划分为3个岩性段、5个含磷层位。     

华北中北部高级变质岩区的构造区划及其晚太古代构造演化

通过区域构造编图及重点地段的详细研究，在华北克拉通中北部识别出一条ＮＮＥ向的构造带——龙泉关－桑干带，它以大规模的韧性剪切带网络、重熔钾质花岗岩带、数量众多的高压麻粒岩构造透镜体或岩片为特征。剪切带以低角度逆冲为主，矿物拉伸线理指示运动方向为ＮＷ－ＳＥ向。这些剪切带造成东西两侧基底杂岩与表壳岩系包括孔兹岩系的广泛构造叠置，以及高压麻粒岩的近等温减压上隆。从更大的范围看，龙泉关－桑干带处于鄂尔多斯克拉通和阜平－赞皇克拉通之间，并且被五台－吕梁裂谷型绿岩带截切或不整合覆盖。该带应形成于晚太古代，记录了上述两个克拉通斜向拼合的构造过程

华南西部晚二叠世碳同位素地层学研究

对黔桂地区７条晚二叠世碳酸盐岩型煤系剖面进行了碳酸盐岩碳氧同位素测定，发现晚二叠世吴家坪阶与长兴阶碳酸盐岩的δ１３Ｃ值有明显差异，前者δ１３Ｃ多大于３．０‰，后者多小于３．０‰，进一步对晚二叠世δ１３Ｃ的变化原因的分析表明，δ１３Ｃ的变化可能与晚古生代末期聚煤作用的减弱密切相关，后者造成自然界碳库中的１２Ｃ的富集，从而使得海水以及在其中沉淀出的碳酸盐岩中的δ１３Ｃ值降低。此外，植物光合作用从大气中吸收ＣＯ２的量也随陆地植被减少而减少，结果造成大气中的ＣＯ２的大量富集，从而进一步产生温室效应，制约生物界的发展。联系到这一阶段生物界的衰亡灭绝，可以认为温室效应是晚二叠世生物逐渐衰亡及晚二叠世末群体灭绝的主要原因之一。

地幔交代作用的微区微量元素证据——云南双沟蛇绿岩的质子探针研究

用质子探针技术对双沟地幔交代熔融物的微区微量元素进行了测定。研究表明,地幔橄榄岩中的残留矿物橄榄石和斜方辉石仅含Ni和Zn,而Ga、Ge、Sr、Rb、Zr、Y、As、Pb等微量元素主要集中在地幔部分熔融所产生的矿物(尤其是尖晶石和绿泥石)中。微区范围内微量元素的分布表明,尖晶石二辉橄榄岩地幔不均一性的尺度可达微米级,通常解释为尖晶石二辉橄榄岩在开放系统下地幔交代作用的结果。
