证据权法在成矿预测中的应用——以湖北通城地区铍矿的成矿预测为例

应用证据权法和MORPAS GIS技术开展了通城地区铍矿的成矿预测研究。在总结通城地区区域地质背景和预测准则的基础上,通过建立通城地区地质、矿产、物探、化探、遥感等基础空间数据库,综合分析多源数据,运用MORPAS矿产资源评价系统提取与铍矿相关的信息,采用证据权法对铍矿有关的证据图层进行系统的分析和处理,编制成矿后验概率等时线图,最后根据高值区圈定了找矿远景区。此次预测工作共选出15个证据因子层,对该地区以铍矿为主的稀有金属矿床进行了定量预测,最终圈定了两个远景区。该两处远景区与己知铍矿点具有相似的成矿条件,应在今后的勘探工作中引到足够的重视。     

青藏高原羌塘中部蜈蚣山印支期花岗岩的地球化学特征和黑云母40Ar-39Ar年龄

本松错岩基是羌塘中部规模最大的花岗岩复合岩基,面积超过1800km2,由石炭纪、三叠纪和侏罗纪3个不同时代的花岗岩岩体组成,记录了羌塘中部不同时期的岩浆活动,是研究羌塘盆地构造演化的重要窗口。蜈蚣山花岗岩位于本松错复合岩基北部,前人认为其时代为侏罗纪,但是近期在蜈蚣山地区侏罗纪花岗岩中发现有少量印支期花岗岩出露,岩性主要为花岗片麻岩和二长花岗岩,可能为侏罗纪花岗岩的捕虏体。地球化学研究表明,二长花岗岩属高钾钙碱性过铝质花岗岩,形成于同碰撞环境,与区域内其它印支期中酸性岩浆岩类似,共同构成龙木错-双湖-澜沧江板块缝合带同碰撞—后碰撞岩浆弧。此外还对花岗片麻岩片麻理中的黑云母做了40Ar-39Ar测年,获得了175.8Ma±1.1Ma的定年结果,与其围岩侏罗纪花岗岩年龄相近,推测花岗片麻岩是印支期花岗岩受后期侵入的侏罗纪岩浆改造后的产物,本松错复合岩基应当是中酸性岩浆岩多期侵入的产物。     

Electron microprobe monazite geochronology of granitic intrusions from the Montes de Toledo batholith (central Spain)

U–Th–Pb monazite dating by electron microprobe has been applied to three peraluminous granitic intrusions of the western Montes de Toledo batholith (MTB). Back scattered electron images of monazite crystals reveal a variety of internal textures: patchy zoning, overgrowths around older cores and unzoned crystals. On the basis of their zoning pattern and chemical composition, two monazite domains can be distinguished: (1) corroded cores and crystals with patchy zoning, exhibiting relatively constant Th/U ratios and broadly older ages, and (2) unzoned grains and monazite rims, with variable Th/U ratios and younger ages. The first monazite group represents inherited domains from metamorphic sources, which accounts for pre‐magmatic monazite growth events. Two average ages from Torrico and Belvís de Monroy granites (333 ± 18 and 333 ± 5 Ma, respectively) relate these cores to a Viséan extensional deformation phase. The second group represents igneous monazites which have provided the following crystallization ages for the host granite: 298 ± 11 Ma (Villar del Pedroso), 303 ± 6 Ma (Torrico) and 314 ± 3 Ma (Belvís de Monroy). Two main magmatic pulses, the first about 314 Ma and the second at the end of the Carboniferous (303–298 Ma), might be envisaged in the western MTB. While Belvís de Monroy leucogranite is likely a syn‐ to late‐tectonic intrusion, the Villar del Pedroso and Torrico plutons represent post‐tectonic magmas with emplacement ages similar to those of equivalent intrusions from nearby Variscan magmatic sectors.

西藏措勤麦嘎岩基的锆石U-Pb年代学、地球化学和锆石Hf同位素:对中部拉萨地块早白垩世花岗岩类岩石成因的约束

西藏中部拉萨地块大规模早白垩世花岗岩类的岩浆源区和岩石成因迄今尚未得到很好约束,对这些问题的深入理解将有助于揭示拉萨地块白垩纪时期的岩浆作用过程及成矿背景。本文报道了中部拉萨地块代表性花岗岩基——措勤麦嘎岩基的锆石U-Pb年代学、全岩元素地球化学、Sr-Nd同位素和锆石Hf同位素数据。本文锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,麦嘎岩基花岗质岩主要侵位于122±1Ma和113±2Ma,闪长质包体与后者同期(113±2Ma)。122±1Ma花岗质岩属I型弱过铝质高钾钙碱性系列,(87Sr/86Sr)i值高(0.7147),全岩εNd(t)(-12.0)和锆石εHf(t)(-15.7～-11.1)为较大的负值,表明其很可能来源于古老下地壳物质的重熔。113±2Ma寄主花岗质岩为I型偏铝质-弱过铝质高钾钙碱性系列,相对于122±1Ma花岗质岩石,其(87Sr/86Sr)i比值偏低(0.7094～0.7156)、全岩εNd(t)值(-12.1～-7.3)和锆石εHf(t)值(-11.1～0.1)较高,很可能来源于古老下地壳物质的部分熔融,并含有更多幔源物质。闪长质包体(113±2Ma)为偏铝质中-高钾钙碱性系列,以变化范围大的(87Sr/86Sr)i(0.7058～0.7105)、负的全岩εNd(t)值(-10.7～-9.8)及负的锆石εHf(t)值(-14.0～-5.6)为特征,可能是古老富集岩石圈地幔物质部分熔融的产物或亏损地幔物质经历强烈地壳混染作用的结果。在目前已有资料条件下(缺乏同期基性岩石的相关数据),本文暂将麦嘎岩基113±2Ma寄主花岗质岩及同期闪长质包体解释为镁铁质岩浆与长英质岩浆发生不同程度岩浆混合作用的产物,这一解释可能对中部拉萨地块同期花岗类的岩石成因具普遍意义。麦嘎岩基及中部拉萨地块同期岩浆岩约113Ma幔源物质增加现象,可能是南向俯冲的班公湖-怒江洋壳岩石圈板片断离的结果。     

东秦岭花山复式岩基中蒿坪与金山庙花岗岩体岩石地球化学、锆石U-Pb年代学和Lu-Hf同位素组成

蒿坪与金山庙花岗岩体位于华北陆块南缘,是熊耳山地区花山复式岩基的重要组成部分。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年显示,蒿坪岩体两个样品年龄为128.7±1.0Ma 和129.3±2.4Ma,金山庙岩体一个样品年龄为127.6±1.6Ma,均为早白垩世岩浆作用的产物。蒿坪岩体以发育碱性长石大斑晶为主要特征,主要组成矿物为碱性长石、斜长石、石英、黑云母和少量角闪石等,而金山庙岩体矿物组合则为碱性长石、斜长石、石英和黑云母。化学组成上二岩体均具高硅准铝、富碱高钾及富铁贫镁的特征,轻重稀土元素分馏显著,Eu异常较弱或无明显Eu异常,Eu/Eu^*为0.69~1.26,富集Cs、Rb、Ba、Sr等大离子亲石元素,亏损Nb、Ta、Ti、Y等高场强元素,在成因类型上可归为I型花岗岩,其中金山庙岩体经历了更高程度的分离结晶作用(D.I.=96.6~97.3),应属高分异I型花岗岩。锆石Lu-Hf同位素分析结果显示,蒿坪岩体ε_Hf(t)为-10.2~-13.3,t_DM2为1.8 Ga~2.0 Ga,金山庙岩体ε_Hf(t) 为-13.3~-17.5,t_DM2为2.0~2.2Ga,表明二者的源区很可能是遭受了幔源或新生地壳改造的太华群古老基底物质。根据区域地质和全岩地球化学组成及产出动力地质背景的全面分析,表明蒿坪与金山庙岩体应形成于扬子陆块与华北陆块碰撞造山后的陆内伸展引张环境,是古特提斯构造域向古太平洋构造域转换体制下岩浆作用的产物。在成岩过程中,蒿坪和金山庙岩浆体系释放出大量富挥发组分(如F, Cl)的热液流体(特别是高分异的金山庙岩体),萃取富集了围岩中的成矿物质或是叠加改造了先期(印支期或燕山早期)形成的金矿床,使之运移至构造交汇部位规模性成矿。     

西天山阿吾拉勒阔尔库岩基的解体及地质意义

通过岩石学特征、接触关系、地质时代等详细研究,阿吾拉勒山阔尔库岩基可解体为早石炭世赛肯都鲁序列((石英)闪长岩-花岗闪长岩组合)和早二叠世阔尔库序列(二长花岗岩-正长花岗岩组合),两序列的同位素年龄分别为331Ma和281Ma.地质调查已证实,两序列间为侵入接触.赛肯都鲁序列为钙碱性岛弧成因,阔尔库序列为碱性同碰撞型或后造山型成因.阔尔库岩基的解体,不仅客观反映了岩浆的分布及活动特征,而且对丰富研究区的构造岩石组合和探讨大地构造演化有重要价值.     

康定机场地基土特征及其形成机制

拟建的康定机场位于青藏高原东缘、北西向展部的折多山的南西麓,控制标高4232.5m,是仅次于西藏邦达的世界 第二高机场。折多山由一花岗岩基组成,两侧被宽4～5km的巨型第四系坡积裙包围,康定机场位于其南西侧坡积裙上。坡 积裙的岩屑主要是通过崩滑脱离山体的,其演化趋势是完全覆盖折多山。除块石土、碎石土、角砾土及砂土外,地基土中还存 在一种由粒径30～100cm、次圆～次棱角状、表面粗糙的块石组成的特殊块石土,它在平面上有石窝、石窝群、石河及 石海等分布形式,垂向分布深度小于2m,其显著的自沉降现象对跑道稳定具有重要影响。特殊块石土是演化到一定程度 的坡积物经潜蚀作用形成的。四类正常土体及特殊块石土均属良好地基,潜蚀是导致其工程特性劣化及沉降的主要因素,地 基排水是今后工程施工的重点。     

The LATEA metacraton (Central Hoggar, Tuareg shield, Algeria): behaviour of an old passive margin during the Pan-African orogeny

Historically, the Tuareg shield is divided into three parts bordered by mega-shear zones with the centre, the Central Polycyclic Hoggar, characterized by Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic lithologies. Nearly 10 years ago, the Tuareg shield was shown to be composed of 23 displaced terranes [Geology 22 (1994) 641] whose relationships were deciphered in Aïr to the SE [Precambr. Res. 67 (1994) 59]. The Polycyclic Central Hoggar terranes were characterized by the presence of well preserved Archaean/Palaeoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic lithologies.We show here that the terranes from Central Hoggar (Laouni, Azrou-n-Fad, Tefedest, Egéré-Aleksod) belonged to a single old passive margin, to which we gave the acronym name LATEA, which behaved as a craton during the Mesoproterozoic and the Early-Middle Neoproterozoic but was partly destabilized and dissected during the Late Neoproterozoic as a consequence of its involvement as a passive margin in the Pan-African orogen.An early Pan-African phase consisted of thrust sheets including garnet-bearing lithologies (eclogite, amphibolite, gneiss) that can be mapped and correlated in three LATEA terranes. In the Tin Begane area, P–T–t paths have been established from>15 kbar––790 °C (eclogite) to 4 kbar––500 °C (greenschist retrogression) through 12 kbar––830 °C (garnet amphibolite) and 8 kbar––700 °C (garnet gneiss), corresponding to the retrograde path of a Franciscan-type loop. Sm–Nd geochronology on minerals and laser ablation ICP-MS on garnet show the mobility of REE, particularly LREE, during the retrograde greenschist facies that affects, although slightly, some of these rocks. The amphibolite-facies metamorphism has been dated at 685 ± 19 Ma and the greenschist facies at 522 ± 27 Ma. During the thrust phase, the Archaean–Palaeoproterozoic basement was only locally affected by the Pan-African tectonics. LATEA behaved as a craton. Other juvenile terranes were also thrust early onto LATEA: the Iskel island arc at ≈850 Ma to the west of LATEA, the Serouenout terrane in the 700–620 Ma age range to the east. No subduction-related magmas have intruded LATEA during this epoch, which behaved as a passive margin.During the main Pan-African phase (625–580 Ma), LATEA was dissected by mega-shear zones that induced several hundreds km of relative displacement and allowed the emplacement of high-K calc-alkaline batholiths. Smaller movements continued till 525 Ma, accompanied by the emplacement of subcircular plutons with alkaline affinity. Here is dated the Ounane granodiorite (624 ± 15 Ma; ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_i=0.70839 ± 0.00016; 6WR, MSWD=0.87) and the Tisselliline granite (552 ± 15 Ma; ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_i=0.7074 ± 0.0001; 5WR, MSWD=1.4). Nd isotopes indicate a preponderant Palaeoproterozoic crustal source for these two plutons: _Nd=−14 to −21 at 624 Ma and T_DM=1650–2320 Ma for Ounane and _Nd=−13 to −15 at 555 Ma and T_DM=1550–1720 Ma for Tisselliline. Our model links these intrusions to a linear lithospheric delamination along mega-shear zones, allowing the hot asthenosphere to rise, melt by adiabatic pressure release and inducing the melting of the Palaeoproterozoic and Archaean lower crust.The LATEA cratonic microcontinent remained however sufficiently rigid to preserve Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic lithologies as well as Middle Neoproterozoic oceanic thrust sheets. This corresponds to the notion of metacraton [J. African Earth Sci. 34 (2002) 119], i.e. a craton that has been remobilized during an orogenic event but is still recognizable dominantly through its rheological, geochronological, isotopic and sometimes petrological characteristics.     

Low-temperature thermochronological record of exhumation of the Bitterroot metamorphic core complex, northern Cordilleran Orogen

The Bitterroot metamorphic core complex is an exhumed, mid-crustal, plutonic–metamorphic complex that formed during crustal thickening and subsequent extension in the hinterland of the North American Cordilleran Orogen, in the northern Idaho batholith region. Extension was accommodated mainly on the Bitterroot mylonite zone, a 500–1500-m-thick shear zone that deforms granitic intrusive rocks as young as 53–52 Ma, as well as older high-grade metamorphic rocks and plutons. Exhumation of the core complex, in Eocene time, is marked in the shear zone by the transition from amphibolite-facies mylonitization, to greenschist-facies mylonitization, chloritic brecciation, to brittle faulting that progressed from shallower crustal levels in the west to deeper crustal levels in the east from ca. 53 –30 Ma based on U–Pb, Ar–Ar, and fission-track data. Apatite and zircon fission-track data record the lower-temperature part of the exhumation history and help define when the shear zone became inactive, as well as the transition from rapid, core complex-style extension to slower basin-and-range-style extension. They indicate that the western part of the complex was exhumed to within 1–2 km of the surface by 48–45 Ma, while the eastern part of the complex was still at amphibolite-facies conditions and that the eastern part of the complex was not exhumed below 60 °C until after 30 Ma. Younger apatite fission-track ages (≤26 Ma) on the eastern range front of the Bitterroot Mountains suggest that the present topographic expression of the mylonite front was due to Miocene high-angle faulting and widening of the Bitterroot Valley.     

The Dharwar craton, southern India, and its Late Archaean plate tectonic setting: current interpretations and controversies

In spite of detailed geological investigations of the Dharwar craton since the 1890s, its principal lithological units, structure and chronology remain contentious. Important new work on lithostratigraphy, basin development, structure, geochemistry and geochronology has led to wide-ranging speculation on the Late Archaean plate tectonic setting. Much of the speculation is based on uniformitarian models which contrast with a recent proposal that the evolution of the craton was controlled by gravity-driven processes with no crustal shortening.
