Upper Mississippi embayment shallow seismic velocities measured in situ

Vertical seismic compressional- and shear-wave (P-and S-wave) profiles were collected from three shallow boreholes in sediment of the upper Mississippi embayment. The site of the 60-m hole at Shelby Forest, Tennessee, is on bluffs forming the eastern edge of the Mississippi alluvial plain. The bluffs are composed of Pleistocene loess, Pliocene-Pleistocene alluvial clay and sand deposits, and Tertiary deltaic-marine sediment. The 36-m hole at Marked Tree, Arkansas, and the 27-m hole at Risco, Missouri, are in Holocene Mississippi river floodplain sand, silt, and gravel deposits. At each site, impulsive P- and S-waves were generated by man-made sources at the surface while a three-component geophone was locked downhole at 0.91-m intervals.

Consistent with their very similar geology, the two floodplain locations have nearly identical S-wave velocity (V_S) profiles. The lowest V_S values are about 130 m s⁻¹, and the highest values are about 300 m s⁻¹ at these sites. The shear-wave velocity profile at Shelby Forest is very similar within the Pleistocene loess (12 m thick); in deeper, older material, V_S exceeds 400 m s⁻¹.

At Marked Tree, and at Risco, the compressional-wave velocity (V_P) values above the water table are as low as about 230 m s⁻¹, and rise to about 1.9 km s⁻¹ below the water table. At Shelby Forest, V_P values in the unsaturated loess are as low as 302 m s⁻¹. V_P values below the water table are about 1.8 km s⁻¹. For the two floodplain sites, the V_P/V_S ratio increases rapidly across the water table depth. For the Shelby Forest site, the largest increase in the V_P/V_S ratio occurs at 20-m depth, the boundary between the Pliocene-Pleistocene clay and sand deposits and the Eocene shallow-marine clay and silt deposits.

Until recently, seismic velocity data for the embayment basin came from eartquake studies, crustal-scale seismic refraction and reflection profiles, sonic logs, and from analysis of dispersed earthquake surface waves. Since 1991, seismic data for shallow sediment obtained from reflection, refraction, crosshole and downhole techniques have been obtained for sites at the northern end of the embayment basin. The present borehole data, however, are measured from sites representative of large areas in the Mississippi embayment. Therefore, they fill a gap in information needed for modeling the response of the embayment to destructive seismic shaking.

太白维山大型银矿床为典型的中低温火山－次火山隐爆角砾岩型矿床，受岩性和断裂构造控制明显，矿体的产出部位和矿石品级与隐爆角砾岩关系密切。本文通过对基岩和１：２０万水系沉积物资料的分析与处理，得出基岩中主成矿元素组合为Ａｇ－Ｃｕ－Ｐｂ－Ａｓ－Ｓｂ－Ｚｎ，水系沉积物中主成矿元素组合为Ａｇ－Ｐｂ－Ｚｎ－Ｃｄ－Ｍｎ－Ｈｇ的结论，同时指出Ｐｂ可作为此矿床最重要的间接指示元素，而主成矿元素中各单元素异常浓集中心对银矿床的产出部位有很好的指示作用，为找矿的重要指标。     

460铀矿床成矿构造背景

４６０矿床为一个大型斑岩型铀－钼矿床。晚侏罗世近东西向分布的火山岩系为铀元素的预富集打下了基础。白垩纪流纹斑岩为其主要的成矿母岩，可能为ＮＥ向展布。早第三纪末期的热液活动使铀进一步富集成矿，在区域应力场作用下，矿体呈ＮＷ走向。晚第三纪的表生淋积作用，使矿体上部近地表处形成次生富集带。基于上述研究，可以进一步明确此类矿床的找矿方向。
