HyLogger-3, a visible to shortwave and thermal infrared reflectance spectrometer system for drill core logging: functional description

Australian Geological Surveys are the custodians of a major national asset in the form of historically drilled and archived drill cores of the top few kilometres of the continent acquired by government agencies and companies over many decades. The AuScope National Virtual Core Library (NVCL) component of the AuScope Earth Model comprises geological/rock samples, technology, people and database/delivery infrastructure located in six nationally distributed nodes and is aimed at extracting additional value from this asset. The technology components of the NVCL comprise an integrated suite of hardware (HyLogger-3) and software (TSG-Core) systems for the imaging and hyperspectral characterisation of drill cores in their original core trays and the interpretation of their contained oxide, carbonate, hydrous and anhydrous silicate mineralogy. The HyLogger-3 includes state-of-the-art Fourier Transform Spectrometers that continuously measure calibrated spectral reflectance from nominal 10 by 18 mm fields of view. These spectra are in turn passed through a series of automatic and semi-automatic pre-processing and mineralogical unmixing algorithms. These, along with numerous other tools in TSG-Core, output a variety of mineralogical and image products for use by scientists in many branches of the earth sciences. This paper provides a functional overview of the HyLogging hardware and software tools available in each of Australia's Geological Surveys.

The Moel-y-Golfa Andesite: An Ordovician (Caradoc) intrusion into unconsolidated conglomeratic sediments,Breidden Hills Inlier,Welsh borderland

The Moel-y-Golfa Andesite is a discordant intrusive body of porphyritic pyroxene andesite, 1 km across and at least 200 m thick. Textural variation defines a central facies and a marginal facies, the latter displaying well-formed lobes, tubes, and pillows. The vertically stacked lobes, brecciated tubes, and elongate pillows of andesite intrude and locally enclose enclaves of altered host sediment and are cut by steeply dipping slide scars. The host sediments are locally strongly silicified and cut by numerous, anastomosed vertical and subvertical fissures. Fissures are filled by disrupted host sediment and fragments of brecciated andesite. The formation and filling of each fissure system was probably concomitant with the brecciation of an intrusive magma lobe. The complex relationship of igneous and sedimentary material indicates that the Moel-y-Golfa Andesite was emplaced into the host sediments whilst they were unconsolidated or only partly lithified.     

安康牛山火山岩区基础地质及金银铜的成矿条件

安康牛山地区的海相火山岩构成安康隆起的主体。经两年的研究取得了如下认识和成果:①火山岩岩石学、岩石地球化学研究表明,郧西群火山岩可分为上、下两个岩性段,岩石类型计有石英角斑岩、钾石英角班岩及其同质火山碎屑岩;耀岭河群为细碧岩、钠长辉绿岩及其同质火山碎屑岩,火山岩组合为石英角斑岩-细碧岩,缺失中性角斑岩类,前者为钙碱性系列,后者为拉斑玄武岩系列,含钙碱性系列分子。火山岩具双模式特点,为裂谷环境产物。加里东晚期或华力西早期侵位的酸性侵入岩为岛弧环境产物。②首次研宄并划分出七条韧性剪切带,在空问上呈近南北,和南东-北西两组方向,推测其为共轭韧性剪切带组合。③论述了恒河以东,付家河以西地段的线性构造和环形构造,并在此基础上论证了猴子崖-牛山主峰一带为一大型构造穹窿。④本区火山变质岩的变质矿物有七种组合类型和两个变质相。⑤本区首次发现了高压变质相系的蓝片岩(钠钙闪石绿片岩)。这对阐明安康隆起、平利降起,乃至整个秦岭造山带的构造演化具有重要的大地构造意义。⑥基于Ma区和Pan区铜银矿点和矿化地段的发现和金银铜矿化特征、成矿条件的分析,初步认为本区已知的火山热液脉型和火山变质热液脉型铜矿不具备形成工业矿床的地质条件,金矿产成矿因素较为复杂,其成矿前景尚欠明确,银矿产尚有一定的成矿潜在前景。笔者等确立的找矿指导思想是以银为主的金银铜综合找矿。     

高级变质区岩石地层系统建立的思考与实践——以内蒙古大青山—乌拉山地区为例

作者通过两个项目的区域地质调查研究，在大青山—乌拉山及其邻区重建了早前寒武纪地层系统，将新建的美岱召岩群列入古元古代。对区内高级变质岩石地层进行重组，在麻粒岩系中划分了2个岩组，归并为桑干岩群，将乌拉山岩群划分为上、下两个亚岩群，下亚岩群片麻岩系，上亚岩群相当于集宁群，可称孔兹岩系。提出本区高级变质区的主期构造是穹形构造与穹间褶皱群构造组合样式(简称“穹—褶”构造)，确立了大型顺层滑脱构造系统是决定高级变质岩石地层空间分布、组成特征和相互关系的关键因素，提出了研究高级变质岩石地层系统建立的方法与步骤。     

川西江浪穹窿二叠系变玄武岩的地球化学特征与岩石成因

江浪穹窿二叠系地层中发育一套顺层产出的变玄武岩,主要由角闪石(~80%)、斜长石(~15%)与少量的石英(3%)、磁铁矿(~2%)等组成,具有明显的枕状构造。为深入探讨变玄武岩的岩石成因,本文对其进行了主微量元素分析。结果显示,变玄武岩具有低的Si O2(平均44.14%)与Ti O2(平均1.79%)含量、高的TFe2O3(平均13.95%)和Mg O(平均11.64%)含量,Mg#值介于65.6~58.3;稀土配分型式显示为轻微的右倾型,Ce异常(Ce/Ce*平均0.89)与Eu异常(Eu/Eu*平均1.03)不明显;富集大离子亲石元素Rb、Ba和U,亏损高场强元素Nb、P、Zr和Hf;低的La/Sm值(2.71~2.26)、(Th/Ta)PM值(1.36~1.14)与(La/Nb)PM值(1.78~1.33)。综合分析认为,该套变玄武岩属于洋底玄武岩,可能是古特提斯洋的洋壳残余。岩浆源区为亏损地幔混有少量的富集地幔组分,岩浆上升侵位过程中没有遭受地壳物质的混染。与峨眉山低钛玄武岩(LT1)的对比显示,该套变玄武岩并非晚二叠世峨眉山玄武岩。     

西藏错那洞穹窿同构造矽卡岩特征及相关铍钨锡稀有金属矿化的成矿时代

错那洞穹窿位于北喜马拉雅片麻岩穹窿带（NHGD）的东段,是近年来新发现的穹窿构造。穹窿由内向外依次由核部、滑脱系和盖层三部分组成,错那洞铍钨锡稀有金属矿化主要赋存在穹窿滑脱系的矽卡岩和矽卡岩化大理岩中,矿体产在含石榴子石十字石云母片岩中,与强烈变形的淡色花岗岩或伟晶岩密切相关,部分矽卡岩矿物呈定向排列,具强烈的剪切特征;淡色花岗岩与矽卡岩的接触关系部分呈渐变接触,部分呈突变关系,表明矽卡岩与该期岩浆关系密切,矽卡岩与淡色花岗岩属于同构造的产物。本次研究获得错那洞穹窿滑脱系含石榴子石十字石云母片岩中黑云母Ar-Ar坪年龄为（16.6±0.3）Ma,反等时线年龄为（16.7±0.3）Ma,该年龄代表第二期由南向北伸展构造变形时间,即藏南拆离系（STDS）在错那洞穹窿的活动时间;含白云母的矽卡岩化大理岩中白云母Ar-Ar坪年龄为（16.9±0.2）Ma,与含石榴子石十字石云母片岩中黑云母Ar-Ar年龄一致,代表同构造矽卡岩的形成时间,也是错那洞铍钨锡稀有金属矿床的成矿时间。错那洞铍钨锡稀有金属矿床形成于由藏南拆离系强烈活动引起的伸展减薄构造背景,减压熔融形成的岩浆沿着构造通道上涌侵位,并与围岩交代反应形成同构造矽卡岩及其中的富铍钨锡矽卡岩型矿体。     

地震模型正演在盐下构造中的应用

加蓬盆地是西非海岸盆地之一,自晚侏罗世开始成盆,下白垩统埃詹加组是一套膏盐层,局部发育多个巨厚盐丘,厚度从30~4 000 m不等。由于盐丘与围岩之间存在很大的速度差异,造成盐下甘巴组目的层地震反射在盐丘部位出现异常。通过地震模型正演技术对盐下地层构造形态进行了分析,研究表明,无论盐丘大小如何,盐丘都会使盐下地层产生"下拉"现象。     

江西武功山花岗岩地貌特征与成因

江西武功山花岗岩穹窿构造地貌景观类型具有多样性、典型性,具有极高的美学价值、科学价值和旅游开发价值。武功山花岗岩地貌类型可划分为花岗岩风化壳高山草甸、花岗岩侵蚀构造地貌、花岗岩流水侵蚀地貌和花岗岩崩塌堆积地貌等,而且每一类型又有多种微地貌景观,具有显著的集聚性特征,主要集中在金顶、明月山和羊狮幕地区,空间上可分为4个梯度,分别为中心高山草甸带、中心边缘构造侵蚀地貌区、外围峡谷、孤峰、瀑布、温泉区、武功山主山体前缘区。花岗岩穹窿构造核部及外缘区域的花岗岩地貌发育模式和发育阶段具有明显差异,反映了武功山不同山体单元多期差异性隆升后,在亚热带气候环境下,流水溯源侵蚀、构造、岩体性质等内外营力对原始地貌面的差异性作用过程。本研究不仅可为花岗岩穹窿构造地貌景观空间展布规律和地貌特征的研究提供有效借鉴,而且可为武功山地区地学科普、地质遗迹保护等提供支撑。
