Structure of the Wollaston Lake Reflector (Trans-Hudson Orogen, Canada) from reflection AVO analysis: Fractured diabase intrusion, fluids, or silicified shear zone?

A nearly 160-km long Wollaston Lake Reflector (WLR) observed in seismic reflection profile S2b of the 1994 Lithoprobe Trans-Hudson Orogen transect (THOT) in northern Saskatchewan (Canada) is among the most spectacular and well-recorded features imaged within the crystalline crust. Based on modeling of its normal-incidence reflectivity, the observed bright spot reflector was originally interpreted as a series of tabular diabase intrusions. In order to further elucidate its structure, we reprocessed line S2b and analysed the WLR for the Amplitude Variations with Offset (AVO). By contrast to conventional (approximate) AVO analysis, we used the exact Zoeppritz equations and considered a thin-layer (mixed positive and negative polarities) reflectivity. The results suggest two possible interpretations of the WLR: 1) the reflector caused by a massive mafic intrusion as suggested earlier, in which case the intruded rocks should have anomalous Poisson's ratios of σ ≥ 0.33, and 2) the WLR represents a silicified shear zone, with only moderate (e.g.,  5–10%) alteration of the host rock and σ ≈ 0.2. Although both of these models may to some extent co-exist within the WLR, its brightness, sharpness, great lateral extent and smooth shape favour the second interpretation.In both models, a fractured fluid-filled zone within a major crustal detachment should have played a key role in the formation of the WLR. The association of the reflector with laterally- and depth-migrating fluids is also supported by magneto-telluric measurements of crustal conductivity beneath the WLR. Analogies from the studies of the Kola Superdeep Borehole (Russia), where free or metamorphic fluids were found at comparable depths, also suggest that fluids may contribute to WLR structure and formation.

贺兰山奥陶系研究的新进展

近年来,作者对贺兰山区奥陶系进行了岩石地层及生物地层学的研究,取得了新的进展。确证该区寒武系与奥陶系为连续沉积,对奥陶系进行了合理划分和时代厘定,初步建立了11个化石带或生物组合。该区是华北地台西缘奥陶系发育最好、生物地层研究最清楚的地区。根据沉积物及生物特征,确认本区中奥陶统为大陆边缘斜坡相沉积,浊流特征颇为典型。是研究斜坡沉积作用及其相模式、古构造古地理演化及其含矿性的理想地区。     

同生断层及其伴生褶曲的组合式样

石油钻探遇断层而失败的情形时有发生,其中多数是由于对同生断层及其伴生褶曲认识的错误所引起。为减少勘探失误,本文讨论了同生断层及其伴生褶曲空间组合的一些规律。（1）同生断层可分为盆地边界同生断层和内部同生断层两大类。边界同生断层的断面产状基本形态有勺形、椅形、阶形和坎形四种。（2）边界同生断层是追踪盆前的一组或两组基底断裂发育而成的。单向追踪的边界同生断层平面伸展较平直;双向追踪的边界同生断层平面伸展呈锯齿形。（3）内部同生断层及其伴生褶曲在剖面上的组合式样有正牵引和同向y字形派生断层、逆牵引和反向y字形派生断层。这两类四种形变可单一出现,也可在同一剖面中共存。（4）内部同生断层系的平面组合基本式样有帚状和雁列两种。构成地堑式的两条同生断层断距都较大时就会有挤压背斜出现（构成w形构造）。（5）中国东部裂谷系盆地中的所谓“滚动背斜”都不具备标准的“滚动”特征;它只产生在特定的层位上;对它与其称“滚动背斜”,不如称“逆牵引背斜”为宜。     

河南西峡寨根地区韧性剪切带中斜长角闪岩角闪石组构特征的探讨

本文通过对秦岭造山带核部,河南西峡寨根地区角闪岩中角闪石组构及其与韧性剪切带关系的研究,得出几点认识:（1）角闪石的优选方位受控于韧性剪切带,随着韧性剪切作用的加强,L构造岩愈趋典型;（2）分析角闪石中光率体轴Ng与结晶C轴的关系,Ng轴偏于一个方向,表明受剪应力所致;（3）通过角闪石C轴与剪切带边界关系的研究,确定剪切带为左旋剪切性质;（4）据角闪石组构及韧性剪切带与其它构造相互关系,恢复秦岭造山带的历史,至少经历了区域动热变质变形阶段、韧性再造阶段和脆性改造阶段。

构造动力变质作用初论

本文提出了构造动力变质作用的基本概念。即在构造动力及其引发的动力热流共同作用下,岩石、矿物在构造运动中发生的形变、相变而呈现的变质作用。按构造动力变质作用的物理化学条件,动力变质岩的结构构造、动态重结晶和混合岩化作用、应力矿物共生组合关系及其空间分布等特征,将构造动力变质作用由弱到强划分为4个发展阶段和相应的4种基本变质类型——脆性、脆-塑性、塑性和动力热流变形变质,并论述了它们各自的基本特征。
