Causes for continuous siltation of the lower Yellow River

Previous studies indicate that aggradation of a river channel is caused by upriver and/or downriver controls, but the evaluation of their relative importance is often difficult. A method is proposed to isolate the effect of the downriver control based on the slopes of the existing river profile, those of the graded profile estimated from the discharge-sediment relationship and slope reduction due to local base-level rise. The method was applied to the rapidly aggrading lower Yellow River. The downriver control in this case refers to the local base-level rise associated with deltaic extension during the period under discussion. The result shows that the main portion of siltation along the river is not caused by downriver control but by the slope difference between the existing and the graded profiles over a period within the last 700 years, assuming conditions of discharge and sediment load during the period from 1962 to 1985 are reflective of the long term. The marked slope difference between the existing and the graded profiles of the river is a result of changes in the river environment in the past several thousand years including the increase of sediment load, local base-level rise associated with river lengthening by deltaic growth, and relative sea-level rise due to tectonic subsidence of the coastal alluvial plain.

青海西秦岭地区晚中生代基性火山岩地球化学特征及构造意义

对青海省同仁县多禾茂地区火山岩进行系统的元素同位素地球化学研究表明:该地区白垩纪地层中发育的中基性火山岩,属于碱性火山岩系,岩石类型主要为玄武岩,该套玄武岩具有低且变化较小的Si O2质量分数(44.98%~48.20%),低MgO的质量分数高,变化较大(8.15%~10.98%),具有较高的Cr(208×10-6~418×10-6)和Ni(166×10-6~231×10-6)质量分数。所有样品都表现出轻稀土富集的右倾平滑分布模式,轻重稀土分异中等,(La/Yb)CN=10.09~27.2,重稀土弱分异,(Gd/Yb)CN=2.92~4.67,Eu异常不明显,Eu*/Eu=0.99~1.04。Ba,Nb-Ta和Th-U不亏损,Rb,K相对亏损,Sr正异常。该区火山岩具有亏损的Sr-Nd同位素组成,Sr-Nd同位素组成变化范围不大[87Sr/86Sr(t)=0.7033~0.7039,εNd(t)=6.13~8.03,t=110 Ma],与Hawaii-OIB的Sr-Nd同位素组成相似。其所有地球化学特征表明该火山岩具有类似OIB的特征,可能是含石榴子石橄榄岩低度部分熔融的产物。结合对西秦岭地质构造背景和演化历史的分析,暗示该地区晚中生代岩浆源区来源于软流圈,其起源可能与岩石圈拆沉作用,软流圈地幔上涌和岩石圈伸展减薄有关,可为秦岭大别造山带中生代岩石圈演化提供了有利的直接证据。

Highly fractionated I-type granites in NE China (II): isotopic geochemistry and implications for crustal growth in the Phanerozoic

NE China is the easternmost part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). The area is distinguished by widespread occurrence of Phanerozoic granitic rocks. In the companion paper (Part I), we established the Jurassic ages (184–137 Ma) for three granitic plutons: Xinhuatun, Lamashan and Yiershi. We also used geochemical data to argue that these rocks are highly fractionated I-type granites. In this paper, we present Sr–Nd–O isotope data of the three plutons and 32 additional samples to delineate the nature of their source, to determine the proportion of mantle to crustal components in the generation of the voluminous granitoids and to discuss crustal growth in the Phanerozoic.

Despite their difference in emplacement age, Sr–Nd isotopic analyses reveal that these Jurassic granites have common isotopic characteristics. They all have low initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios (0.7045±0.0015), positive _Nd(T) values (+1.3 to +2.8), and young Sm–Nd model ages (720–840 Ma). These characteristics are indicative of juvenile nature for these granites. Other Late Paleozoic to Mesozoic granites in this region also show the same features. Sr–Nd and oxygen isotopic data suggest that the magmatic evolution of the granites can be explained in terms of two-stage processes: (1) formation of parental magmas by melting of a relatively juvenile crust, which is probably a mixed lithology formed by pre-existing lower crust intruded or underplated by mantle-derived basaltic magma, and (2) extensive magmatic differentiation of the parental magmas in a slow cooling environment.

The widespread distribution of juvenile granitoids in NE China indicates a massive transfer of mantle material to the crust in a post-orogenic tectonic setting. Several recent studies have documented that juvenile granitoids of Paleozoic to Mesozoic ages are ubiquitous in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, hence suggesting a significant growth of the continental crust in the Phanerozoic.     

粤东南燕山期热隆伸展及其古水热系统——以恩平-新丰拆离断层为例

粤东南地区广泛发育燕山期NE-SW走向的拆离断层系统。文章对恩平-新丰拆离断层进行了野外地质调查和室内测试分析,重点研究了拆离断层之下韧性剪切带中的糜棱岩和拆离断层上盘与高角度脆性正断层伴生的硅化岩。初步认为,研究区热隆伸展构造于燕山早期开始形成,糜棱岩的变形温度在350℃左右,硅化岩内石英中气液包裹体的均一温度在155℃~326℃,盐度在2.74%~21.61% NaCl_eqv,平均盐度为11.17% NaCl_eqv,古热液流体沸腾时的温度在235℃~241℃,激光拉曼光谱分析结果表明,含硅热液的成分为富含Si、CO₂的NaCl-H₂O溶液。硅化岩流体包裹体的H-O稳定同位素组成表明古水热流体为岩浆水与大气降水混合作用的产物。沿着正断层分布的硅化岩可能是燕山期古水热型地热能的重要标志。燕山期热隆伸展构造系统及其深层与浅层相结合的古水热系统对认识现代地热能的类型、成因及其分布规律有一定的意义。     

黑龙江省毛家屯花岗岩中碱性暗色矿物特征及其地质意义

碱性暗色矿物作为具有特殊指示意义的矿物,其存在对岩浆演化过程具有重要的意义。毛家屯花岗岩体位于兴蒙造山带东部的小兴安岭—张广才岭南段,岩体内部发育碱性暗色矿物。以毛家屯岩体内部发育的碱性暗色矿物为研究对象,进行了矿物学和矿物化学电子探针分析。研究表明,碱性角闪石的类型为铁-镁铝钠闪石,具有富碱,尤其富钠、富硅、富铁、贫钙、镁、钛等特征。辉石的类型为霓辉石,化学特征上高硅-高钠,高铁,低钛、镁、铝、锰。碱性暗色矿物主岩为碱性岩,成因类型为铝质A型花岗岩类。毛家屯花岗岩碱性角闪石具有很低的M值,证明其来源于地壳物质的熔融。毛家屯花岗岩中碱性角闪石的特征指示,在结晶过程中,岩浆体系处于封闭还原条件,且岩体从中央到边部存在偏酸性和偏基性组分分带现象。结合前人的同位素和年代学方面的分析资料,认为毛家屯碱性花岗岩形成于造山后期伸展转换环境中。     

大兴安岭南段晚中生代双峰式火山作用

大兴安岭南段晚中生代克头鄂博组山岩表现出双峰式特征，主要由玄武质安山岩、英安岩和流纹岩组成。基性火山岩属于代钾拉斑系列，轻微富集LREE，Eu异常不明显（Eu/Eu=0.99-1.04)和HREE无明显分馏的特征（Dy/YbcN=1.030-1.089);富集大离子亲石元素（LILE）而亏损高场强元素（HFSE），尤其是强烈亏损Nb,Ta。英安岩和流纹岩为钙碱性系列，在REE配分模式上为LREE富集型，其中英安岩为Eu弱负异常（Eu/Eu=0.81-1.01)，流纹岩的Eu负异常明显（Eu^*/Eu=0.65-0.76)；在微量元素蛛网图上，英安岩类似于基性火山岩，流纹岩除了具LILE富集和HFSE亏损特征外，还显示出Sr,P,Ti等元素的强烈亏损，可能与岩浆演化过程中斜长石、磷灰石的分离结晶作用相关。晚中生代双峰式火山岩分离结晶的结果。流纹岩表现出较高的La/Sm比值和很高的K／P、K／Ti比值，其成因可能与地壳混染作用或与大陆中、下地壳重熔作用有关。结合区域晚中生代盆岭构造格局特征、大兴安岭南段晚中生代双峰式火山岩形成于造山后阶段，是岩石圈快速伸展体制下导致受早期流体交代的岩石圈地幔发生减压部分熔融作用的产物。     

内蒙古乌拉特中旗北七哥陶辉长岩SHRIMP锆石 U-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及其地质意义

内蒙古乌拉特中旗温更地区北七哥陶辉长岩岩体由橄榄辉长岩和角闪辉长岩组成,主要造岩矿物为橄榄石、辉石、斜长石及角闪石等.锆石SHRIMP U-Pb同位素定年结果表明,橄榄辉长岩形成于269±8Ma,为晚古生代华北板块北缘岩浆活动的产物.橄榄辉长岩和角闪辉长岩具有相似的稀土元素、微量元素以及同位素特征,即:轻稀土元素( LREE)富集的右倾平滑配分模式;大离子亲石元素(LILE)K、Sr、Ba明显富集,高场强元素(HFSE) Nb、Ta、U、Th相对亏损,但Zr-Hf不亏损;87Sr/86Sr(t)平均值分别为0.706776和0.706960,εNd(t)平均值分别为-8.8和-8.9,206pb/204Pb、207pb/204Pb、208Pb/204Pb比值的平均值分别为17.2019和17.2277、15.4252和15.4524、37.3082和37.4724,在s7 Sr/86Sr(t)-143Nd/144 Nd (t)图解上,北七哥陶辉长岩都落在了EMI型富集地幔附近.根据以上事实,结合区域资料表明,橄榄辉长岩和角闪辉长岩产于后碰撞的构造环境,并且来自相同的岩浆源区,主要继承了华北陆块内部EMI型富集地幔,可能受到了古亚洲洋俯冲消减过程中再循环下地壳组分对岩石圈地幔的改造.
