Spatial distribution of major and trace elements in shallow reservoir sediments: an example from Lake Waco, Texas

 Sediment geochemistry of a shallow (6-m average) reservoir (Lake Waco) was evaluated for the spatial distribution of major and trace elements. Sixty bottom and core samples along a 21-km transect within the reservoir, 18 overbank sediment samples, and 8 rock types in the drainage area were collected and analyzed for major (Al, Ca, Fe) and trace elements (As, Ba, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, V, Zn). Elemental concentrations in the reservoir sediments closely correspond to concentrations in the regional rocks and represent a mixture of overbank sediment composition of the tributaries. Elemental concentrations were statistically regressed against Al concentrations in order to establish regional baseline levels and thereby distinguish natural from anthropogenic sources. Spatial geochemical trends, considered in terms of element-to-Al ratio versus V-to-Al ratio, relate to the natural and anthropogenic sources contributing to the elemental concentrations. The spatial elemental distribution in the reservoir, which receive sediments from two mineralogically contrasting basins, reflect textural and mineralogical transition within the reservoir and suggest a progressive mixing of sediment from the tributaries. The spatial elemental distribution and sediment texture suggest that the sediment-source, which determines the sediment-type, has a greater influence on the major- and trace-element distributions in shallow reservoir sediments than bathymetry.

藏南措美残余大火成岩省的西延及意义

在西藏南东部和澳大利亚南西部新识别出的早白垩世Comei-Bunbury大火成岩省的范围还未能得到很好约束。为探讨这一问题,本文报道了西藏南东部浪卡子-洛扎以西、江孜、康马地区广泛分布的近东西向基性岩墙和少量玄武岩的岩石学和地球化学数据。这些以辉绿岩、辉长岩为主的镁铁质岩石属于碱性-亚碱性玄武岩系列,在地球化学上主要包括高Ti的洋岛玄武岩型和低Ti的大洋中脊玄武岩型,两者的εNd(t)值分别为(+0.9～+2.0)和(+4.6～+5.8)。这两种类型岩石的地球化学特征均与措美残余大火成岩省内的对应类型可比,暗示它们与措美残余大火成岩省一样,均形成于由地幔柱作用于大陆岩石圈引起的伸展背景,代表该残余大火成岩省的西延。本文研究结果使得现今保留在特提斯喜马拉雅带上的Comei-Bunbury大火成岩省的残余面积接近50000km2。该大火成岩省的大规模岩浆活动可能是引发研究区甚至全球早白垩世大洋缺氧事件的一个重要因素。     

西藏冈底斯东部门巴地区晚白垩世埃达克质岩的岩石成因

本文首次报道了西藏冈底斯东部门巴地区晚白垩世花岗闪长岩的岩石学、锆石U-Pb定年和Hf同位素、全岩元素与Sr-Nd同位素地球化学数据。门巴花岗闪长岩锆石U-Pb定年结果为88.3Ma。花岗闪长岩的SiO2含量为66.4%～68.5%,K2O含量为3.1%～4.1%,A/CNK为0.90～0.99,属于高钾钙碱性准铝质岩石。岩石强烈富集轻稀土元素,(La/Yb)N为25.3～46.6,具弱的负Eu异常(δEu=0.83～0.91),高Sr(725×10-6～766×10-6)、高Sr/Y比值(Sr/Y=52.2～65.2),具有埃达克岩的特征,本文称之为门巴埃达克质岩石。门巴埃达克质岩石εNd(t)值为-4.1～-4.3,(87Sr/86Sr)t值为0.70671～0.70672。εHf(t)范围为-3.4～-1.2,Hf同位素地壳模式年龄为tCDM=1.2～1.4Ga。结合门巴埃达克质岩的主、微量元素、同位素以及含有闪长质包体等特征,判断门巴埃达克质岩石主要来源于古老下地壳物质的部分熔融,可能是来源于下地壳物质的熔体与幔源岩浆(如底侵的玄武岩浆)发生混合作用的结果。通过与在南冈底斯发现的埃达克岩的成因及地球动力学背景的对比,本文认为新特提斯洋洋脊俯冲作用不仅为镁铁质下地壳的熔融提供了能量,而且在岩浆形成演化过程中也起到了重要作用。     

青藏高原玉树混杂带糜棱岩化石英闪长岩年代学和地球化学研究

玉树混杂带内含有大量金沙江西段古特提斯演化信息,对其物质组成进行详细解剖,有望厘清青藏高原东北缘的特提斯演化过程。本文以该带内糜棱岩化岩体为研究对象,研究其岩石学、构造变形特征,报道其锆石U-Pb年龄、黑云母Ar-Ar年龄、主量、微量和Sr-Nd同位素数据,结合区域岩浆事件和构造变形资料讨论大地构造意义。研究表明该岩体主要为石英闪长岩,变形强烈,发育北西西向糜棱面理,面理走向与区域构造线一致。岩石为准铝质中-高钾钙碱性系列,富集K,Rb,Ba,Th等大离子亲石元素, 亏损高场强元素,具有高Sr负Nd的同位素组成,为基性下地壳部分熔融的产物。石英闪长岩锆石U-Pb年龄为208Ma,黑云母⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar年龄为201Ma,讨论认为前者代表岩浆结晶年龄,形成于洋盆俯冲背景;后者代表变形年龄,与区域碰撞挤压有关。     

Triassic magmatism in the eastern part of the South China Block: Geochronological and petrogenetic constraints from Indosinian granites

The granitic dykes in the Badu Group,Zhejiang Province,South China provide important insights on tectonic setting and crustal evolution of the South China Block(SCB) and the Indochina Block during Triassic.Here we report LA-ICP-MS U-Pb data of granitic rocks from the Hucun and Kengkou which show early Triassic ages of 242 ± 2 and 232 ± 3 Ma,respectively,representing their timing of emplacement.The dyke rocks are enriched in K,Al,LREE,Rb,Th.U,and Pb.and are depleted in Nb,Ta,Sr,and Ti.The rocks are characterized by highly fractionated REE patterns with(La/Yb)N ratios of 28.46-38.07 with strong negative Eu anomalies(Eu/Eu* = 0.65-0.73).In situ Hf isotopic analyses of zircons from the Hucun granite yielded ε_(Hf)(t) values of-13.9 to-6.4 and two-stage depleted mantle Hf model ages of 1.68-2.15 Ga,which indicate that the magma was formed by partial melting of the Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary protoliths in the Cathaysia Block.The zircons from the Kengkou granite have ε_(Hf)(t) values ranging from 40.7 to 31.5 and yield two-stage depleted mantle Hf model ages of 0.99-2.49 Ga,indicating magma origin from a mixed source.The Hucun and Kengkou dykes,together with the Triassic A-type granites in SE China were probably generated during magmatism associated with crust-mantle decoupling along the convergent plate boundary between SCB and the Indochina Block.

河南嵩山地区新太古代斜长角闪岩的地球化学特征与成因

嵩山地区登封群是华北克拉通南部古老结晶基底的重要组成部分,由一套火山-沉积成因的表壳岩系组成,形成于新太古代.斜长角闪质岩石广泛发育于登封群表壳岩中,同时,也以包体形式普遍存在于TTG片麻岩体内部.二者主量元素差别不大,SiO_2含量为45%～63%,富Fe_2O_3、Al_2O_3、CaO,TiO_2(0.5%～1.11%)含量较低,原岩为亚碱性玄武岩、安山岩.二者的微量元素特征稍有差别,登封群斜长角闪岩REE配分形式平坦,轻重稀土基本无分异((La/Yb)_N=0.99～2.07),基本无Eu异常(δEu≈1);Ti负异常,Nb、Ta、Y负异常不明显,Ba、Sr呈现正异常,显示洋中脊和岛弧拉斑玄武岩特征;在Cr-Y、Ta/Yb-Th/Yb、Zr/Y-Nb/Y图解中位于洋中脊向岛弧玄武岩的过渡区域;ε_(Nd)(t)=4.43,显示源岩来自亏损地幔.而TTG片麻岩中斜长角闪岩包体的LREE富集,Eu负异常明显(δEu)=0.46～0.87);大离子亲石元素Rb、Cs、Ba明显高于登封群中的斜长角闪岩,除了Ti含量稍低外,Zr、Nb和Y含量范围和登封群斜长角闪岩相似,Nb、Ta和Y呈负异常,具有岛弧玄武岩特征;ε_(Nd)(t)=2.56和4.08,显示源岩来自亏损地幔,反映有地壳物质的混染.登封群斜长角闪岩及斜长角闪岩包体原岩的源区物质有所不同,在汇聚板块边缘洋壳俯冲条件下,前者是地幔楔部分熔融的产物,形成于弧后盆地环境;后者可能是随着俯冲作用的进行,小部分板片熔融开始发生,形成的熔浆混染亏损地幔部分熔融形成的熔浆.地球化学特征显示登封群形成的地球动力学背景是汇聚板块边缘洋壳的俯冲,反映当时陆壳以水平方式增生.     

扬子地块北缘西乡群孙家河组火山岩形成时代及元素地球化学研究

西乡群孙家河组为一套低绿片岩相浅变质火山-沉积岩系,主要由基性-中基性-酸性火山岩和凝灰岩、沉凝灰岩、泥岩、硅质岩组成,火山岩岩石类型包括玄武岩、安山岩、英安岩和流纹岩.LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb定年揭示流纹岩形成时代为832.9±4.9Ma,辉石玄武岩的形成时代为845.0±17Ma,两者在误差范围内一致,属新元古代同期岩浆作用产物.元素地球化学研究表明,孙家河组玄武岩属拉斑玄武岩系列,具有受地壳混染的板内玄武岩的地球化学特点.玄武岩-安山岩-英安岩主量元素成分投点呈规律性变化、REE球粒陨石标准化及微量元素原始地幔标准化分配型式具有一致性并相互重叠,不相容元素Th和相容元素Cr相关模拟图中沿分离结晶线分布,证明玄武岩-安山岩-英安岩为同一基性岩浆分离结晶的产物.REE和微量元素分配型式以及微量元素比值对的显著差异,暗示流纹岩与玄武岩-安山岩-英安岩来源于不同源区.Sr-Nd同位素研究表明,玄武岩-安山岩-英安岩样品的ε_(Nd)(t)值均大于0以及在ε_(Nd)(t)-(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_t图解中位于OIB成分区,表明其源区应为与洋岛玄武岩类似的地幔源区;流纹岩样品具有可与基性熔岩相比拟的ε_(Nd)(t)值,暗示流纹岩最有可能是初生玄武质地壳部分熔融而成.本文所研究的原划孙家河组火山岩系列的形成时代、构造环境的确定以及扬子陆块乃至世界上同一时间内普遍发育大陆裂谷岩浆岩组合的地质事实,说明原划孙家河组以及西乡群中的确存在新元古代的组成部分,它们应是新元古代大陆裂谷的产物,它和扬子地块820M8后造山裂解环境花岗岩均是新元古代晚期Rodinia超大陆裂解作用的岩浆响应.     

Geochronology, geochemistry and petrogenesis of mafic and ultramafic rocks from Southern Beishan area, NW China: Implications for crust–mantle interaction

The Liuyuan mafic and ultramafic rocks are exposed in Southern Beishan, which is along the southern branch of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). Zircon SHRIMP U–Pb dating showed that Liuyuan gabbros intruded during the early Permian (~ 270–295 Ma) coeval with the basalts and the ultramafic rocks were emplaced at about 250 Ma. The basalts are within–plate tholeiites with slight enrichment in light rare earth elements (LREE) relative to heavy rare earths (HREE) and small negative anomalies of Nb and Ta. Gabbros including olivine gabbros, olivine gabbronorites and troctolites are grouped into two: the cumulate gabbros are depleted in LREE and show small negative Nb and Ta anomalies but distinct positive Sr and Eu anomalies; non–cumulate gabbros resemble tholeiitic basalts. Lamprophyres and cumulate ultramafic rocks are characterized by large enrichment of LREE relative to HREE with depletion in Nb and Ta. The enriched Sr–Nd isotopic trend from DM towards the EM II end member component implies that the lithospheric mantle was progressively enriched with depth by the involvement of subducted crustal material due to the delamination of thickened mantle lithosphere after collision. The digestion of subducted crustal material into the mantle resulting in the metasomatized and enriched mantle is inferred to be an important process during crust–mantle interaction.     

内蒙古阿拉善北缘尚丹岩体的年代学、地球化学特征及构造意义

阿拉善北缘造山带位于中亚造山带最南端,前人鲜有报道的尚丹岩体是认识其构造演化的关键。尚丹岩体中花岗闪长岩的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为331. 7±0. 9Ma,是在宗乃山-沙拉扎山构造带中获得的最早的晚古生代年龄,指示了早石炭世的岩浆事件。尚丹花岗闪长岩体具有中等硅含量(SiO_2=66. 07%～68. 15%)、高Na_2O(Na_2O/K_2O 1. 6),并相对高CaO(CaO/Na_2O 1),属于准铝质(A/CNK 1,A/NK 1)和中钾钙碱性系列(σ=1. 21～1. 40,K_2O=1. 55%～2. 21%),其岩石薄片中可见角闪石,地球化学和岩相学上都显示出I型花岗岩的特征。岩石的稀土元素含量中等,轻重稀土分异较明显((La/Yb)N=5. 30～6. 62),富集Rb、Th、K、Zr、Hf等元素,亏损Ba、Nb、Ta、P、Ti等元素。样品未出现明显Eu负异常,表明其可能形成于中下地壳的部分熔融。同时,2件全岩样品具有弱负的εNd(t)值(-1. 02、-0. 91),Nd模式年龄tDM1为1. 30～1. 28Ga,1件样品的锆石εHf(t)值为+0. 30～+5. 27,Hf模式年龄tDM2为1. 32～1. 00Ga。结合地球化学分析,尚丹岩体很可能形成于中新元古代地壳的再循环。总的来说,尚丹岩体具有岛弧相关特征,构造判别图解显示其形成于俯冲相关环境,表明阿拉善北缘在早中古生代造山停歇后,晚古生代的俯冲作用至少开始于早石炭世。
