四川雅江措纳玛杂岩体成矿地质条件分析

四川雅江措纳玛杂岩体位于甘孜-理塘断裂带中段东缘,由日勒玛、格希、措纳玛、购隆、下德差、多隆等6个岩体组成,岩性包括石英闪长岩、黑云母花岗闪长岩、黑云母二长花岗岩、花岗斑岩。该杂岩体属同源岩浆演化序列,形成时代为晚三叠世。通过对措纳玛杂岩体的岩石学、岩石化学、岩石地球化学,蚀变矿化等特征的分析,以及与华南南岭含矿花岗岩、江西大湖塘地区燕山期含钨花岗斑岩、新英格兰含锡花岗岩等典型钨锡矿化花岗岩、西藏玉龙斑岩和扬子地台西缘含矿斑岩的对比研究,确定措纳玛杂岩各期岩体的含矿性,尤其钨钼随杂岩体的岩浆演化程度增高而在晚期的斑岩中矿化最佳。由此确定晚期的格希岩体——花岗斑岩为研究区成矿地质体和勘查区的矿化中心,指出了找矿方向。     

东昆仑南坡埃坑北花岗斑岩的成岩年龄及其地质意义

东昆仑南坡埃坑北花岗斑岩位于青海省都兰县诺木洪镇南八宝滩以南、马尔争以北的埃坑德勒斯特沟中游一带埃坑铜钼矿带的北矿区,其大地构造位置属于东昆仑南坡俯冲增生杂岩带中生代弧后前陆盆地,是古特提斯北部活动陆缘的南部边缘区域,也是广义的东昆仑岩浆弧构造带的组成部分。该斑岩体是埃坑铜钼矿的围岩和成矿母岩,花岗斑岩体的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb成岩年龄为242±1.2Ma,推测斑岩型铜钼矿成矿时代应为中三叠世—晚三叠世早期。这一成果对该带斑岩型铜钼矿的找矿勘查工作有一定指导意义。     

内蒙古达斯呼都格矿区综合地球物理场特征与找矿预测

内蒙古达斯呼都格矿区位于得尔布干成矿带西南段,区内成矿条件优越,成矿类型以斑岩型矿床为主,但工作区内地表草原覆盖严重,几乎没有基岩露头,传统地质手段难以奏效。本文通过地面高精度磁测、大功率激电扫面、音频大地电磁测深等综合物探方法,结合遥感、钻孔等资料,推测了该地区火山机构位置与岩体分布特征以及浅部铅锌矿的分布规律。音频大地电磁测深资料表明,本区岩体可分为两期,其中晚期岩体与成矿关系密切,为下一步矿产勘查指明了方向。     

巴丹吉林沙漠石英δ18O值及其物源意义

巴丹吉林沙漠是世界上沙丘最高大的沙漠,其沙源研究对认识沙漠形成、高大沙山发育和防沙治沙工程有重要意义。石英是沙漠沉积物中常见的矿物,其氧同位素值可示踪物源。采集沙漠西北部、东部、东南部高大沙山、丘间低地与湖泊以及雅布赖山前的表层沉积物,测定了样品不同粒级的石英δ18O值。结果表明:①石英δ18O值随粒级减小有增大趋势,同一样品不同粒级石英δ18O值存在较大差异,相同粒级石英δ18O值也有变化。②石英δ18O值介于9.4‰~19.3‰,均值为13.3‰（n=55）;其中沙丘沙的石英δ18O值介于9.5‰~16.6‰,均值为12.9 ‰（n=39）;湖相沉积物的石英δ18O值介于9.4‰~19.3‰,均值为14.2‰（n=16）。③区域内,<16 μm粒级的石英δ18O值与16~64 μm、125~154 μm、200~250 μm、> 300 μm粒级的石英δ18O值都存在显著差异,但200~250 μm与 > 300 μm粒级的石英δ18O值没有显著差异;经区域对比,巴丹吉林沙漠 < 16 μm粒级的石英δ18O值与柴达木盆地沙漠、蒙古戈壁风成沉积物 < 16 μm石英δ18O值无显著差异,但巴丹吉林沙漠16~64 μm粒级的石英δ18O值与蒙古戈壁风成沉积物16~64 μm石英δ18O值存在显著差异;这似乎暗示研究区的细颗粒物质可能是远源的。巴丹吉林沙漠沉积物的石英δ18O值位于火成岩石英、砂岩和变质岩石英δ18O值分布阈值内,受区域地质条件、物源混合、粒级效应等因素的影响,砂粒级的石英δ18O值所指示的母岩成份特征与祁连山区岩石的岩性有较好吻合。     

大兴安岭中南段布敦化铜矿床地质特征及成矿模式

大兴安岭中南段铜成矿带已探明铜矿床众多,矿化类型主要为热液脉型与斑岩型.布敦化铜矿床由于同时存在两种矿化类型而备受关注,然而针对该矿区内相邻两个矿段（金鸡岭、孔雀山）成矿特征差异性缘由尚未得到解释,有关该矿床成矿机制综合研究尚显薄弱,整体成矿模式亟待建立.在综合前人研究成果基础上,认为布敦化矿区如此小范围内存在两种矿化类型,有可能与晚侏罗世成矿阶段构造演化的不同相关。布敦化挤压带两侧地质体发生垂向位移,孔雀山矿段所在部位（上盘）相对上升,得以形成浅成高温热液脉型铜矿.（165±2）~151.95±0.73Ma,极有可能在金鸡岭矿段深部存在当时未上升的黑云母花岗闪长岩,其内、外接触带极有可能形成浸染状铜矿化,可以作为今后该矿段找矿方向.在上述认识基础上构建布敦化铜矿床成矿模式,为揭示大兴安岭中南段铜多金属成矿规律奠定基础.     

智利中部埃尔特尼恩特斑岩型铜钼矿床地质、成矿特征及成因

智利中部埃尔特尼恩特矿床是世界级超大型铜钼矿床之一,其铜矿石(含铜0.62%)储量达12.4×10~8t,钼矿石(含钼0.018%)储量达7.8×10~8t。矿床位于智利中部安第斯山脉晚中新世—早上新世铜-钼成矿省。该成矿省赋存于晚中新世火山活动带。埃尔特尼恩斑岩型铜-钼矿床赋存于中—晚中新世代伐尔隆斯建造,后者伏于科亚-玛查理建造之下,两者之间呈构造不整合或局部不整合接触关系。矿床产于伐尔隆斯的组成部分晚中新世火山深成杂岩中,该杂岩由厚层的玄武质至流纹质喷出岩及侵入岩组成。矿床围岩为安山岩、长英质-中性侵入岩和布莱登岩筒角砾岩。该矿床流体包裹体组合特征表明,岩浆热液演化及成矿作用经历了4个阶段。流体包裹体成分研究表明,该矿床的形成是富含Cu和可能还富含S的深源流体向不断脱挥发分的巨型次火山岩浆房发生贯入作用的结果。     

大兴安岭西坡甲乌拉铜银铅锌矿床富碱花岗斑岩的成因及其地质意义:锆石U-Pb定年和地球化学特征

甲乌拉铜银铅锌矿床是大兴安岭西坡得尔布干铜(钼)-银铅锌成矿带内大型铅锌银矿床之一,长期以来被认为是与火山、次火山热液作用有关的浅成热液矿床;然而近期的研究显示,其成矿可能与深部细脉浸染型铜矿化有着密切的成因联系。为此,我们在野外调研的基础上,开展了与细脉浸染型铜矿化有关的富碱花岗斑岩的年代学和地球化学研究工作。实验结果揭示:花岗斑岩的w(SiO_2)为71.59%~72.36%,w(TiO_2)为0.46%~0.58%,w(Al2O3)为15.45%~15.92%,w(Fe_2O_3)为0.74%~0.90%,w(FeO)为1.67%~1.96%,w(MgO)为0.55%~0.89%,w(Na_2O+K_2O)为9.01%~9.91%,K2O/Na2O值为1.37~2.15,里特曼指数(σ)为2.77~3.43,碱度指数(AR)为3.13~3.96,指示该类岩石为钾玄岩系列、高钾质、过铝质的A型富碱花岗斑岩;稀土元素总量(∑REE)为(350.11~408.80)×10-6,轻重稀土比值(∑LREE/∑HREE)为11.25~11.44,δEu主要集中在0.38~0.44,具有较强的轻重稀土分馏和明显负铕异常、强烈亏损相容元素(Ni、Co、Cr、V、Yb、Eu等)、富集不相容元素(Cs、Rb、Pb、U、Th、Zr、Hf等)、相对亏损Li、Sr等不相容元素以及持有较高的Rb/Sr(0.93~1.31)、Zr/Hf(29.38~35.61)值等特征,揭示原始岩浆来源于以CO_2为主的流体交代下地壳部分重熔或以H2O为主的流体交代下地壳部分重熔,岩浆作用过程受到了强烈的碳酸盐混染,并具有提供铜银铅锌成矿流体的属性。鉴于所获该类岩石具有岩浆和热液锆石共伴生的特点,且岩浆锆石的206Pb/238 U年龄加权平均值为(146.4±1.6)Ma(MSWD=1.30,n=12)、热液锆石206Pb/238 U年龄加权平均值为(143.1±3.9)Ma(MSWD=0.56,n=5),结合前人的研究成果,得出甲乌拉矿床成矿发生在早白垩世初期,与成矿密切的岩浆作用发生在晚侏罗世末,并认证甲乌拉矿床为斑岩型铜-浅成热液铜银铅锌成矿系统;成岩成矿地球动力学背景适值古太平洋板块向欧亚板块俯冲的大陆内部挤压向伸展转换的构造环境,或蒙古—鄂霍茨克洋闭合后造山带碰撞伸展的环境。     

OSL-thermochronometry using bedrock quartz: A note of caution

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) thermochronometry is an emerging application, whose capability to record sub-Million-year thermal histories is of increasing interest to a growing number of subdisciplines of Quaternary research. However, several recent studies have encountered difficulties both in extraction of OSL signals from bedrock quartz, and in their thermochronometric interpretation, thus highlighting the need for a methodological benchmark. Here, we investigate the characteristic OSL signals from quartz samples across all major types of bedrock and covering a wide range of chemical purities. High ratios of infrared to blue stimulated luminescence (IRSL/BLSL), an insensitive ‘fast’ OSL component, and anomalously short recombination lifetimes seen in time-resolved luminescence (TR-OSL), are often encountered in quartz from crystalline (magmatic and metamorphic) bedrock, and may hamper successful OSL dating. Furthermore, even when the desirable signal is present, its concentration might be indistinguishable from its environmental steady-state prediction, thus preventing its conversion to a cooling or heating history. We explore the saturation properties and the thermal activation parameters of various OSL signals in quartz to outline the capabilities and limitations for their use in low-temperature thermochronometry.     

OSL chronology and accumulation rate of the Nakdong deltaic sediments,southeastern Korean Peninsula

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating was performed on Late Quaternary deltaic sequences from a 55-m-long core sampled from the Nakdong River estuary, Korea. OSL ages obtained from chemically separated fine (4–11 μm) and coarse (90–212 μm) quartz grains ranged from 29.4 ± 2.6 to 0.4 ± 0.04 ka, revealing clear consistency between the grain-size fractions. The D_e values from the standardized growth curve (SGC) are consistent with those from the single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) procedure, which suggests that the SGC is valid for the Nakdong deltaic sediments. The ¹⁴C ages of shells and wood fragments ranged from 11 to 2.9 ka, demonstrating reasonable agreement with the OSL ages, within the error range. However, the limited number and random sampling interval of the ¹⁴C age data (10 ages) result in a simple linear and exponential trend in the depth–age curve. In contrast, OSL ages obtained by high-resolution sampling show down-section variations in the depth–age curve, indicating the occurrence of rapid changes in sedimentation rate. It is suggested that the high-sampling-resolution OSL ages provide a more realistic and detailed depth–age curve and sedimentation rate. The Nakdong deltaic sediments were divided into five units based on sedimentation rate. The lowest (unit 5) shows a break in sedimentation between the last glacial maximum (LGM) and the Holocene. The sedimentation rate increased in units 4 and 3, presumably corresponding to the early to middle Holocene sea level rise and high stand. Unit 2 shows a gradually decreasing sedimentation rate following the regression of the shoreline, until about 2 ka. The progradation of the Nakdong River delta resulted in the rapid accumulation of unit 1 during the last 2000 years.     

OSL dating of fine and coarse quartz from a Palaeolithic sequence on the Bistrița Valley (Northeastern Romania)

Previous works focused on optically stimulated luminescence dating of quartz extracted from Romanian and Serbian loess reported significant discrepancies between ages obtained on fine (4–11 μm) and coarse (63–90 μm) quartz. The present study is directed at expanding these investigations. The SAR-OSL and double SAR-OSL protocols are applied on quartz of different grain sizes belonging to 9 samples extracted from a newly identified archaeological site at Bistricioara-Lutărie III on the Bistrița Valley (NE Romania). Radiocarbon ages are also obtained for the 3 uppermost cultural layers hosted in the loess-like deposit.Discrepant ages are obtained between fine (4–11 μm) and coarse (63–90 and 90–200 μm, respectively) quartz for equivalent doses higher than ∼80–100 Gy. However, a very good agreement is achieved for the youngest sample, with an age of ∼8 ka (with a D_e of 38 Gy for fine and 35 Gy for coarse grains, respectively). The comparison with independent control provided by radiocarbon dating suggests better agreement of ages calculated for coarse quartz. Our results are once again proof that concerns should be raised regarding the reliability of the equivalent doses obtained on quartz samples for which the laboratory dose response cannot be fitted by a single saturating exponential function. Further systematic investigations are required regarding the very different saturation characteristics of fine and coarse grained quartz.
