Prolonged postcollisional shoshonitic magmatism in the southern Svecofennian domain – a case study of the Åva granite–lamprophyre ring complex

The Åva ring complex is one of four Paleoproterozoic postcollisional shoshonitic ring complexes in southwestern Finland. It is composed of ring dykes of K-feldspar megacryst-bearing granite, mingled in places with a shoshonitic monzonite, and lamprophyre dykes crosscutting all the rocks in a radial pattern. A survey was undertaken to trace the magma chamber beneath the ring complex to date it and measure some intensive parameters to clarify the crystallisation conditions at depth before the granite was emplaced in the upper crust. Mineral separates were extracted from the core zones of K-feldspar megacrysts in the granite, heavy mineral fractions (including zircons) from these separates were used for P-T assessment and age determinations, and the results were compared to data obtained from bulk rock samples. It appears that magma differentiation took place in a midcrustal magma chamber (at 4 to 7 kbar) possibly 30 Ma before the emplacement of the ring complex in the upper crust (deep assemblage 1790 Ma, shallow assemblage 1760 Ma). Relatively high activity of the alkalies and a low oxygen fugacity characterised the midcrustal chamber. The juvenile Svecofennian crust was invaded by shoshonitic magmas from an enriched lithospheric mantle over a long period of time. Some of these magmas were stored and differentiated in the middle crust before transportation to the upper crust. The results also show that coarse-grained granites may provide evidence for several magmatic evolutionary episodes, e.g., differentiation and crystallisation in different environments prior to final emplacement.     

Use of fallout 137Cs for documenting the chronology of overbank sediments from the river Sava, Croatia, and interpreting their geochemical patterns

This paper attempts to determine the impact of former Pb-Zn-Ba mining activities in Slovenian drainage basin on overbank sediments of the Sava river (West Croatia). Among the four studied sequences (S7, S8, S9, S10), the most upstream profile S7 showed the most pronounced impact of ore mining. Mercury was enriched more than 100-fold; Pb and Zn had a strong positive correlation (r > 0.99). Two factor models clearly revealed the Pb-Ba-Hg association in the lower-lying carbonate (CA) population of all four profiles, but only in the overlying silicate (SI) population of profile S7. Factor analysis confirmed this association in the total sediment (90 samples) as well as separately in the CA (33 samples) and SI (57 samples) populations. Based on a comparison with an undisturbed soil profile, the vertical distribution of ¹³⁷Cs in profile S7 was interpreted to be the combination of caesium deposition caused by a flood in 1964 and by post-depositional redistribution.     

晚中更新世以来武威盆地沉积特征——基于WV3 钻孔的释光年代学研究

青藏高原东北缘河西走廊形成了一系列新生代盆地,是研究盆地沉积演化的重要区域。武威盆地位于河西走廊东部,盆地内沉积了较厚的新生代冲洪积地层。为了厘清武威盆地晚中更新世以来的沉积演化历史,笔者等在武威盆地石羊河中上游处钻取了长207 m的WV3 钻孔岩心,获得了上部17 m岩心的 19 个钾长石两步法 pIR200IR290 年龄和 2 个多步法 MET-pIRIR 年龄,结合粒度资料,重建了武威盆地石羊河流域中下游晚中更新世以来的光释光年代学框架和沉积历史。结果表明：两步法 pIR200IR290 和多步法MET-pIRIR年龄在误差范围内一致。220~128 ka时期,沉积速率最小,为 0.35 mm/ka,水动力条件较强,以侵蚀为主;128~108 ka (MIS 5d、MIS 5e) 时期沉积速率为 1.94 mm/ka,沉积物粒径由粗变细,表明此时水动力条件由强变弱;末次冰盛期到全新世早期 (19~9 ka) 沉积速率为2.78 mm/ka,沉积物粒径较细,表明此时水动力条件较弱,沉积速率最大,沉积为主。该地区新构造运动比较活跃,在末次间冰期至末次冰盛期期间存在逆冲活动。该研究对于揭示晚中更新世以来祁连山东北部石羊河流域沉积演化特征具有重要意义。     

江西赣县大埠钨多金属矿田成岩成矿时空结构与找矿预测

大埠矿田位于南岭成矿带东段,是于都-赣县钨多金属矿集区重要组成,区内已发现钨多金属矿床（点）五十余处,矿床类型包括石英脉型、矽卡岩型、云英岩型和细脉浸染型等,各类矿化主要围绕大埠复式花岗岩体产出。然而,大埠矿田岩浆作用具有明显的多期次、多阶段的特点,各期次成岩成矿时代尚缺乏系统研究,各类岩浆岩与矿化关系争议较大。文章在岩体地质和矿床地质调查基础上,通过LA-(MC)-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年、锆石微量元素和Hf同位素分析,精确厘定了大埠花岗岩的成岩时代,探讨了多期次岩浆活动对区内成矿作用的贡献。锆石U-Pb定年结果分别为(429.1±4.7)Ma、(430.0±5.8) Ma、(431.8±4.7) Ma和(158.3±4.1) Ma,结合岩体地质填图信息,笔者认为大埠复式花岗岩基由加里东期和燕山期两部分组成。两期花岗岩均属于高钾钙碱性、过铝质S型花岗岩系列,两者均出现Eu负异常,燕山早期Eu负异常更明显。两期岩体锆石的ε_Hf(t)值分别为-6.3~-1.3与-11.4~-7.1,对应二阶段模式年龄为1.49~1.82 Ga与1.66~1.93 Ga,指示其母岩浆为中元古代的地壳部分熔融形成。锆石微量元素特征显示,两期花岗岩均为陆壳源区、具有相近的结晶温度,燕山早期花岗岩相对于加里东期有更高的结晶分异程度,有更高的氟含量,与钨成矿具有更强的相关性。大埠矿田钨多金属成矿时代集中在159~155 Ma,紧随燕山早期花岗质岩浆侵位而形成。基于大埠矿田成岩成矿时代格架研究,结合花岗岩成矿专属性和成矿地质条件分析,构建了区内钨多金属矿勘查模型,指明了大埠矿田细脉浸染型、云英岩型、内带石英脉型钨矿的找矿方向,预测大埠岩体东北部的燕山早期隐伏岩体具有寻找“合龙式”石英大脉型和细脉-云英岩型钨矿的潜力。

Holocene overbank deposition in the drainage basin of Lake Khanka

Overbank deposits in the Komissarovka River valley consist of alternating silt, clay silt, sand, and soils produced by lacustrine, alluvial, and aeolian deposition and by soil formation. Silt and sand layers in the lower part of the section correlate with the events of Early Holocene transgression and Middle Holocene regression of Lake Khanka. Deposition in the lowermost reaches of the Komissarovka River provides a faithful record of local Holocene landscapes controlled by level changes in Lake Khanka.
