Generation of Deccan Trap magmas

Deccan Trap magmas may have erupted through multiple centers, the most prominent of which may have been a shield volcano-like structure in the Western Ghats area. The lavas are predominantly tholeiitic; alkalic mafic lavas and carbonatites are rare. Radioisotope dating, magnetic chronology, and age constraints from paleontology indicate that although the eruption started some 68 Ma, the bulk of lavas erupted at around 65–66 Ma. Paleomagnetic constraints indicate an uncertainty of ± 500,000 years for peak volcanic activity at 65 m.y. in the type section of the Western Ghats. Maximum magma residence times were calculated in this study based on growth rates of “giant plagioclase” crystals in lavas that marked the end phase of volcanic activity of different magma chambers. These calculations suggest that the > 1.7 km thick Western Ghats section might have erupted within a much shorter time interval of ∼ 55,000 years, implying phenomenal eruption rates that are orders of magnitude larger than any present-day eruption rate from any tectonic environment. Other significant observations/conclusions are as follows: (1) Deccan lavas can be grouped into stratigraphic subdivisions based on their geochemistry; (2) While some formations are relatively uncontaminated others are strongly contaminated by the continental crust; (3) Deccan magmas were produced by 15–30% melting of a Fe-rich lherzolitic source at ∼ 3–2 GPa; (4) Parent magmas of the relatively uncontaminated Ambenali formation had a primitive composition with 16%MgO, 47%SiO₂; (5) Deccan magmas were generated much deeper and by significantly more melting than other continental flood basalt provinces; (6) The erupted Deccan tholeiitic lavas underwent fractionation and magma mixing at ∼ 0.2 GPa. The composition and origin of the crust and crust/mantle boundary beneath the Deccan are discussed with respect to the influence of Deccan magmatic episode.

Analysis of spatial relationships among geomorphic,petrographic and structural characteristics of the dartmoor tors

The granite tors of Dartmoor are characterized by using the regional spatial patterns of 21 geomorphic, petrographic, and structural variables. The data were derived from topographic maps, field measurement, and laboratory analysis of rock samples collected in the field. Identification of spatial patterns and comparison of patterns between variables were made on contour maps generated from the data using ARC/INFO. Three tor types—summit tors, valleyside tors, and spur tors—are semiquantitatively characterized using these data and procedures. The three types of tors are distinguished with respect to variations in relative relief, joint spacing and joint type, rock texture, grain size, and composition. Summit tors have the highest relative relief (mean: 125·7 m), contain the most potassium feldspar (>30 per cent), and have the most widely-spaced primary vertical (>300 cm) and secondary horizontal joints (> 10 cm). The rocks are the most megacrystic (> 15 per cent) and the coarsest grained. Plagioclase is also abundant in summit tors. Valleyside tors have the lowest relative relief (mean: 72·9 m) and the most widely-spaced horizontal joints (primary, 60-200 cm; secondary, > 10 cm). Grain size, vertical joint spacing, and quartz and potassium feldspar abundances are intermediate. The shapes of valleyside tors are controlled by horizontal joints and the rocks are either very feebly magcrystic or equigranular in texture. Spur tors have intermediate relative relief (mean: 115·4 m), the narrowest joint spacing (vertical joints, < 200 cm, 50-75 cm; horizontal joints <60 cm, < 10 cm) and the finest grain. In addition, the rocks are feebly magacrystic.

华南内生铀矿石结构的新认识及其成因意义

在华南374和331花岗岩型铀矿床矿石内及人工合成沥青铀矿的模拟实验中均发现有针状沥青铀矿与沥青铀矿球粒紧密共生的现象。结合对沥青铀矿球粒的形态、结构、粒度及共生矿物等特征的研究,作者确认沥青铀矿球粒是球状结晶的表现,而针状及长柱状沥青铀矿则是铀氧化物相变中间产物(α-U_2O_8或β-U_3O_8)的假象。沥青铀矿的高温高压人工模拟实验表明,一些沥青铀矿在快速结晶生长过程中,由于结晶生长的限制而具有非生物成因的显微草莓状和花瓣状结构特征。

SAR image classification based on its texture features

SAR images not only have the characteristics of all-ay, all-eather, but also provide object infor-mation which is different from visible and infrared sensors. However, SAR images have some faults, such as more speckles and fewer bands. The au-thors conducted the experiments of texture statistics analysis on SAR im-age features in order to improve the accuracy of SAR image interpretation.It is found that the texture analysis is an effective method for improving the accuracy of the SAR image interpreta-tion.     

北京房山岩体形成过程中的岩浆混合作用证据

北京房山侵入岩体主要由石英二长闪长岩单元和三种不同结构的花岗闪长岩单元组成,岩体中广泛分布的镁铁质微粒包体、富集暗色矿物的线状条带以及各岩相单元的非渐变接触关系等宏观特征,指示岩体的形成与岩浆混合作用有密切联系。122个斜长石成分剖面电子探针分析表明,它们众数成分为 An=29的更长石。但是,其成分变化范围极宽(An=14～56),晶体内不同部位的成分有很大差别,出现正常环带的 An 值较低(14～42),内环带的 An 值较高(24～56)的特殊情况,指示斜长石结晶环境的改变,暗示具有富钙基性岩浆的加入。从岩体边部到中心,斜长石 An 牌号逐渐降低,但相邻岩相单元之间有较大的重叠,表明不同岩石单元中的斜长石成分主要受控于岩浆成分的变化,与分离结晶作用无关。斜长石的韵律性环带、特别是内环带的发育则是岩浆混合作用机制的有力证据。基性岩浆的反复注入不仅改变寄主岩浆的成分,而且也控制了它的温度、定位机制和岩石的结构特征。因此,房山岩体的形成过程还包含了镁铁质岩浆多次注入的历史,并且从外到里基性岩浆的作用逐渐减弱。
