Timing of Fracture Formation and Duration of Mineralization at the Hishikari Deposit, Southern Kyushu, Japan

Abstract. The Hishikari epithermal gold deposit consists of the Honko-Sanjin zone and Yamada zone. On the basis of observed crosscutting relationships of veins, vein system in the Hishikari deposit was classified into the early and late veins. They differ from orientation, width, control by unconformity, the amount of displacement and structural features, but have similarity in gold grade and Au/Ag ratios. K-Ar ages are presented for the classified veins to clarify timing of fracturing and duration of mineralization.
Age determination revealed that the early veins in the Honko-Sanjin zone range from 0.86 to 1.11 Ma and that the late veins range from 0.73 to 0. 84 Ma. The economically most important mineralization in the Hishikari deposit occurred around 0.90 Ma in a very short period (about 0.05 million years).
The distribution of mineralization age in the whole Hishikari deposit, occurrences of slickensides and ground water temperatures imply that mineralization lasted longer in the southern part of the deposit. As compared the early veins with late veins, structural changes including width, strike, dip and vein characteristics occurred at around 0.85 Ma.

南极格罗夫山陨石的研究与展望

本文综述了我国第 1 5次 ( 1 998/ 1 999)、1 6次 ( 1 999/ 2 0 0 0 )南极科学考察队在东南极格罗夫山冰区回收的 32块陨石的岩石矿物学特征及其分类。这些陨石包括 :2 3块平衡型普通球粒陨石、6块非平衡型普通球粒陨石、1块二辉橄榄岩质火星陨石、1块钙长辉长无球粒陨石、1块未分群的铁陨石。文中还对南极格罗山冰区的陨石富集机制、GRV 980 0 4 (H5 )球粒陨石异常低的宇宙射线暴露年龄、火星陨石的溅射年龄等进行了初步的讨论 ,并对今后格罗夫山陨石的研究提出一些初步想法。     

南天山西段古生代火山岩Ar-Ar年龄新资料

根据新近采自中国南天山西段志留-泥盆系乌帕塔尔坎群中的安山岩样品和石炭-二叠纪康克林组上部英安岩角砾样品的全岩Ar-Ar定年测试,乌帕塔尔坎群安山岩的坪年龄为427.70±0.60 Ma,等时年龄为426.96±4.57 Ma; 康克林组上部的英安岩角砾的坪年龄为288.16±0.40 Ma,等时年龄为289.18±2.02 Ma.测试结果为研究中国南天山(西段)古生代造山带的构造体系提供了新的依据.     

西秦岭温泉花岗岩体的新认识

温泉花岗岩体是西秦岭地区一个极具典型研究意义的复杂成因岩体和具有潜力的成矿(钼矿床)岩体。通过1：25万天水市幅区城地质调查，初步获得一些新认识：在岩体北部古坡乡-铁炉坡乡-带新发现一套蛇绿岩组合；岩体的岩石类型复杂，为一多期次侵入的复式岩体；岩体中发育大量包体，显示了岩浆混合作用的存在；另外，岩体中还发现较大体积的古老片麻岩包体和工业钼矿床。岩体主体获得259Ma的锆石U—Pb年龄。     

Re-Os Age of Cu-Ni Ores from the Huangshandong Cu-Ni Sulfide Deposit in the East Tianshan Mountains and Its Implication for Geodynamic Processes

An isochron age of 282±20 (95% conf. limit) Ma of the sulfide ores in the Huangshandong Cu-Ni sulfide deposit, the East Tianshan Mountains has been obtained through Re-Os isotopic measurement. The age implies that the Cu-Ni sulfide deposit and other related deposits in the same area occurred in a Permian extensional environment of post-collision instead of Devonian-Early Carboniferous ophiolite-related oceanic or island arc environments inferred before. It shares the same ages with the orogenic and epithermal gold deposit systems in the same area. An initial 187Os/188Os ratio of 0.25±0.04 (1σ) and a γos value of 99 on average display the participation of large quantities of crustal components into the rock-forming and ore-forming system during mineralization and magmatic emplacement.     

北大别燕子河片麻岩的锆石U-Pb年龄：印支期变质事件的确定

本文对北大别燕子河地区英云闪长质片麻岩中的锆石进行了单颗粒U-Pb年龄测定。该片麻岩中存在两种类型的锆石,一种是片麻岩原岩中的岩浆锆石,在后期的变质事件中经历了不同程度的Pb丢失;另一种是变质作用过程中的新生锆石。5个分析点拟合出一条很好的不一致线,得到上下交点的年龄分别为880±110Na和228±13Ma(MSWD=1.1),其中上交点的年龄代表了片麻岩原岩的形成时代,下交点的年龄代表了变质作用发生的时间。变质锆石给出了238Ma的一致年龄,与不一致线给出的下交点年龄在误差范围内相同。这一结果表明北大别片麻岩也经历了印支期变质作用。北大别地体为扬子板块的北缘,华北与扬子板块的缝合线应位于北大别以北。     

金矿测年方法讨论及定年中存在的问题

准确的成岩成矿年代测定是矿床研究和对比的基础。然而近几年来 ,不同的研究者对同一矿床采用不同的定年方法得出了相差十分悬殊的成岩成矿年龄的报道屡见不鲜。为此笔者在分析了不同定年方法适用性的同时 ,强调了在金矿定年中要加强对金矿成岩成矿地质背景的研究 ,重视不同地质体与成矿的先后关系 ,确定标志性地质体 ,选择合适的定年方法 ,测定标志性地质体和矿体的成岩成矿年代 ,使成岩成矿年代互为限定 ,得到高质量的年代学数据。     

鲁东官山榴辉岩与围岩接触关系的新发现及其对年代学的启示

鲁东官山榴辉岩呈透镜状包于变质含霓石碱性花岗岩中,榴辉岩的片麻理与主岩片麻理总体呈交切关系,局部可见变质含霓石碱性花岗岩呈细小岩枝状脉贯入榴辉岩中。变质含霓石碱性花岗岩锆石U-Pb法下交点年龄为231±25 Ma,上交点年龄为818±66 Ma。发现了闪长玢岩脉斜切式侵入榴辉岩及变质含霓石碱性花岗岩的接触关系,且闪长玢岩脉中有榴辉岩捕虏体,这种现象指示:闪长玢岩侵位时榴辉岩已折返至地壳较浅部位。研究表明,榴辉岩与变质含霓石碱性花岗岩共同经历了新元古代的超高压变质作用,但变质作用发生时含霓石碱性花岗岩可能处于熔融状态,榴辉岩是其中的固相包体。
