Regional record of a global oceanic anoxic event: OAE1a on the Apulia Platform margin, Gargano Promontory, southern Italy

The Gargano Promontory of southern Italy, located on the eastern margin of the Apulia Platform, represents a peculiar Tethyan area where the transition between carbonate platform and adjacent basins is exposed on land. The Aptian stratigraphic record, represented in shallow-water, slope and deep-water deposits, provides a good opportunity to investigate the regional response to the worldwide documented climatic, biotic and palaeoceanographic changes related to Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a (OAE1a). A synthesis of data previously published (Ischitella and Coppitella sections), together with original data (Val Carbonara and Coppa della Guardia sections), from four stratigraphic sections from different depositional settings (proximal to distal) is provided, using an integrated, high-resolution micropalaeontological (planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannofossils) and, for one section, geochemical (stable carbon and oxygen isotopes) approach. Organic matter preservation is confined to the more distal areas and consists of two thin intervals of black shales in the Aptian portion of the Marne a Fucoidi Formation. Biostratigraphic data assign the older black shale (5 cm thick) to the Selli Level equivalent (OAE1a, Lower Aptian); this carbon-rich interval is immediately followed by another black shale (7–10 cm thick) of early Late Aptian age.OAE1a is generally interpreted as a high-productivity event during a warming interval, followed by a cooling trend. In the Gargano Promontory, although the oxygen isotope curve indicates the above-mentioned climatic evolution, the micropalaeontological data do not support high fertility of the surface water, whereas micropalaeontological and geochemical data for the younger black shale do record high productivity (radiolarian increase in overall abundance, low nannofossil and foraminiferal species richness, increase in abudance of nannofossil fertility indices) associated with a cooling trend. The carbon and oxygen isotope record is in line with evidence from the curves documented elsewhere, whereas, among the biotic events, only the “nannoconid crisis” preceding OAE1a is revealed to be globally correlable.Environmental models for the two episodes of organic matter preservation are proposed, taking into account both global and local controlling factors.

黔西北地区土壤重金属地球化学背景及管理目标值

基于贵州省毕节地区1∶25万土地质量地球化学调查的1 308件深层土壤样品重金属含量数据,研究了土壤重金属含量分布及其地球化学背景特征,与全国土壤比较,黔西北土壤重金属地球化学背景值显著高于全国土壤元素背景值,但是,与我国西南地区土壤元素背景值接近。黔西北地区土壤重金属含量与地质背景关系密切,不同地质单元区土壤重金属含量存在显著差异,石炭系地层发育的土壤呈Pb、Zn地球化学高背景,二叠系中统风化形成的土壤呈Cd、Hg地球化学高背景,黔西北地区不仅存在土法炼锌造成的土壤重金属污染,土壤重金属地球化学高背景也是影响土壤重金属富集的重要因素。统计表明,黔西北地区二叠系中统风化土壤Cd管理目标值高于我国农用地土壤Cd风险管制值(2.0×10^-6),认为在确定黔西北地区土壤重金属管理目标时,应充分考虑不同地质单元区土壤重金属地球化学背景值差异及其生态环境效应的影响。     

Neoproterozoic alkaline magmatism at Sivamalai, southern India

The Sivamalai alkaline complex lies at the southern margin of the Cauvery Shear System that separates the Archaean and Proterozoic domains of the Southern Granulite Terrain in India. U–Pb TIMS dating of zircon from a pegmatitic syenite sample in the complex yields a concordant age of 590.2 ± 1.3 (2σ) Ma which is interpreted to date the intrusion of the alkaline rocks. A lower concordia intercept at 168 ± 210 Ma defined by two grains with high common lead may indicate post-magmatic disturbances due to recrystallisation which is also evident in the CL images of the zircons. EPMA dating of monazite from a post-kinematic pegmatite which intrudes the crystalline basement hosting the alkaline rocks yields an age of 478 ± 29 (2σ) Ma and provides a lower bracket for the main phase of tectonism in this part of the Southern Granulite Terrain. The Pan-African high-grade metamorphism and ductile deformation has thus most likely affected the alkaline rocks. This is supported by the presence of a metamorphic foliation and extensive recrystallisation textures seen in the rocks. The major and trace element concentrations measured on selected samples reveals the presence of both enriched and depleted rock types. The enriched group includes ferrosyenite and nepheline syenite while the depleted group has only nepheline syenites. The trace element depletion of some nepheline syenites is interpreted to be a result of fractional crystallization involving the removal of accessory phases like zircon, titanite, apatite and allanite.     

西页1井龙潭组海陆过渡相页岩含气性分析

目前,国内外在海陆过渡相页岩含气性方面的相关研究较少。位于贵州省毕节地区黔西县境内的页岩气参数调查井西页1井揭示了黔西北地区上二叠统龙潭组海陆过渡相黑色碳质页岩发育特征及其含气性特点。通过有机地球化学实验,获取了西页1井的有机地化参数:TOC含量分布范围为0.4%~17.85%,平均值为4.25%;Ro分布范围为2.68%~3.48%,平均值为3.06%。钻、录、测井资料分析显示该井钻遇上二叠统龙潭组富有机质页岩层系厚度为148.85m,在钻进过程中,共有6层出现气显示。利用测井资料、现场解吸和等温吸附实验数据分析和计算,认为龙潭组海陆过渡相页岩含气页岩层段多,具有良好的吸附能力,得到总含气量为1.40~19.60m3/t。通过以上结果分析表明:西页1井所揭示的上二叠统海陆过渡相龙潭组含气页岩具有层段数量多、单层厚度小、有机质分段富集、热演化成熟度偏高等特点,且含气性较好,故该区海陆过渡相龙潭组地层具有较大的页岩气资源潜力。     

黔东南锦屏-天柱地区构造控岩控金特征模拟实验及其力学分析

在前人工作基础上,侧重研究石英脉型金矿床成矿的地质背景,建立了该类型金矿的成矿模式。进而开展三轴温压条件下的成岩成矿实验,构造形变特征及其与成矿物质活化、迁移、富集之间的相互关系的模拟实验。实验结果表明:(1)该区岩石、矿石在高温高压条件下,产生塑性变形(褶皱)和脆性变形(破裂);(2)在变形过程中使成矿物质活化、迁移和富集,形成顺层及穿层的含金石英脉,并在多期多次变形过程中使成矿物质叠加富集;(3)在褶皱(背斜)轴部形成富矿体。模拟实验结果与所建立的该类型金矿构造控矿和成矿模式非常相似。实验资料的力学分析表明,由轴压所产生的构造附加压力大大地提高了实际围压,从而促进了岩石流变、变形和物质的迁移,由此促进含矿流体向构造附加压力小的部位定向迁移、充填和成矿。构造附加压力是促进该区金成矿的重要动力条件。     

从流体包裹体特征探讨泥堡金矿成因

泥堡金矿床据脉石矿物和萤石的包裹体研究,包裹少而小,类型较为简单。综合包裹体各项参数和气液成分分析认为,成矿流体属NaCl-H_2O体系的富K~ 的、弱酸性溶液,具有较高密度、较低盐度和中-低温度的特点。结合硫和氢氧同位素测定结果,成矿流体是燕山运动阶段的地表水沿断裂深循环,特别是在富K、富Au的凝灰岩中往复循环作用形成的。当各种条件具备时即可卸载成矿,成矿的最佳位置就是沿P_(2-3)β_1与P_2m~(dc)之间沉积间断面发生的层间滑动构造带。     

贵州织金磷矿岩元素地球化学特征

采用电感耦合等离子体-质谱仪(ICP-MS)对贵州织金戈仲伍剖面戈仲伍组磷矿岩样品的微量、稀土元素含量进行了测定。戈仲伍组磷矿岩主要为生物碎屑白云岩、硅质磷块岩,普遍形成生物碎屑结构,以小壳类动物化石及藻类化石为主。分析结果表明,磷矿岩中As、Sb等微量元素富集,Co/Ni的比值为0.14,明显小于1;U/Th比值介于1.27~7.39之间,平均值为3.40;在lgw(U)-lgw(Th)关系图、Cr-Zr的关系图中样品点几乎都落在热水沉积区,表现出热水沉积成因的地球化学特征。磷矿岩中普遍富集稀土元素,含稀土总量∑REE较高,尤其富集Y重稀土元素;磷矿岩具Ce负异常,指示环境处于氧化程度相对较高状态;稀土元素北美页岩标准化模式曲线为帽状形态,指示在磷矿岩形成过程中有生物或有机质参与作用;磷矿岩普遍具Eu正异常、稀土总量较高、∑LREE/∑HREE比值较高的特征,暗示戈仲伍组磷矿岩具有正常海相沉积伴有海相热水沉积混合成因的特征。     

Archean–Ediacaran evolution of the Campos Gerais Domain — A reworked margin of the São Francisco paleocontinent (SE Brazil): Constraints from metamafic–ultramafic rocks

The Campos Gerais Domain (CGD) in southeastern Brazil is an approximately 180 km × 35 km area of Archean–Proterozoic rocks located southwest of the São Francisco Craton (SFC). The Archean–Paleoproterozoic evolution of the CGD — alongside its potential correlation with the SFC or other cratonic blocks in the region — is currently poorly-constrained. We present the results of systematic petrography, bulk-rock geochemistry, mineral chemistry and geochronology for a suite of scarcely studied mafic–ultramafic rocks from the CGD. We also provide a compilation of previously reported bulk-rock geochemical and spinel group mineral chemical data for mafic–ultramafic rocks throughout the CGD, and geochronological information for various lithotypes in the region. The CGD records a protracted Mesoarchean to Statherian (3.1–1.7 Ga) crustal evolution, which we interpret to share a common history with the southern SFC and their related reworked segments, suggesting that it is a westward extension of this cratonic terrain. The metavolcano-sedimentary rocks of the Fortaleza de Minas and Alpinópolis segments represent a Mesoarchean greenstone belt that is stratigraphically and chemically comparable to Archean greenstone belts worldwide, and that is broadly coeval with a local suite of tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) gneisses and migmatites. U-Pb SHRIMP zircon data from a subalkaline metagabbro yielded a concordia age of ca. 2.96 Ga, revealing a previously unrecognized phase of Archean magmatism in the CGD that can be chrono-correlated with metakomatiite and TTG generation elsewhere in the São Francisco paleocontinent. Our data contradict a hypothesis whereby the metavolcano-sedimentary rocks of the Jacuí-Bom Jesus da Penha and Petúnia segments represent an ophiolite, as previously suggested, instead presenting features that point to formation in association with a continental arc. Coupled with a U-Pb (SHRIMP) crystallization age of ca. 2.13 Ga recorded by zircon grains from a metaultramafic rock, these data highlight that a magmatic event was chrono-correlated with the main accretionary phase of the Minas Orogeny, and with the Pouso Alegre/Amparo and São Vicente complexes. Finally, a U-Pb (SHRIMP) concordia age of ca. 590 Ma — obtained from metamorphic-textured zircon grains from a metaultramafic rock — points to a late metamorphic overprint related to upper amphibolite conditions, brittle fault activation and the juxtaposition of crustal blocks in association with the latest stages of western Gondwana’s assembly in the southern SFC, with later retrogression to greenschist-facies.
