Tektonisches Verhalten und geologische Bedeutung von Kalksilikatfels-Lagen und -Spindeln im Damara-Orogen Südwest-Afrikas

Zusammenfassung Beschrieben wird das Verhalten von frühdiagenetisch gebildeten schichtparallelen Kalksilikatfels-Lagen, -Linsen, -Knollen und diffusen Ansammlungen während der Gesteinsdeformation in Teilen des Damara-Orogens. In Abhängigkeit von ihrer relativen Löslichkeit und/oder Kompetenz sowie vom Winkel zwischen Schichtung und Schieferung können Lagen und Linsen als solche erhalten bleiben oder in spindelförmige Körper zerlegt werden (Verkürzungsboudinage). Knollen werden zu Ellipsoiden oder Spindeln deformiert und diffuse Kalksilikatfels-Ansammlungen in eine Vielzahl von Spindeln aufgelöst. Alle im Zusammenhang mit der Anlage der Schieferung gebildeten Spindeln und Ellipsoïde sind streng in der Schieferung orientiert. Es wird deutlich, daß die Spindelform der Kalksilikatfels-Körper ein Produkt der Gesteinsdeformation ist.In Gebieten, in denen der Verdacht besteht, daß parallel zu einem deutlichen Materialwechsel eine Schieferung verläuft, kann aus der Existenz von Spindeln auf das Vorhandensein dieser Schieferung geschlossen werden.Die ungleichmäßige Verteilung von Kalksilikatfels-Körpern innerhalb der Khomas-Serie ermöglicht eine Unterteilung dieser bisher ungegliederten, bis zu 6000 m mächtigen Gesteinsfolge.

The behaviour during rock deformation of diagenetically formed layers, lenses, nodules (concretions) and diffuse concentrations of calc-silicate rock is described from parts of the Damara belt. Depending on their relative solubility and/or competency and on the angle between bedding and cleavage planes the layers and lenses may either more or less retain their shape or be cut up into spindle-shaped bodies (boudinage due to shortening). Nodules are deformed to ellipsoides, while diffuse concentrations of calc-silicate rock are transformed into a number of spindles. All spindles and ellipsoides which are formed during the formation of the cleavage are strictly orientated parallel to the cleavage planes. It is therefore obvious that the spindleshape of these bodies is a consequence of rock deformation. Thus, in areas in which a cleavage is suspected to lie parallel to a distinct bedding, the occurrence of spindles may confirm the existence of this cleavage.The non-statistical occurrence of calc-silicate rock bodies within the Khomas Series may render possible a first subdivision of this up to 6000 m thick succession.

西秦岭寨上金矿床中石英和绢云母40Ar/39Ar定年

寨上金矿是西秦岭地区近年新发现的大型金矿床。为确定该金矿床的成矿时代,对其含金石英、蚀变绢云母进行了40Ar/39Ar快中子活化法测定。2件样品的40Ar/39Ar坪年龄及等时线年龄分别为(130.62±1.38)Ma、(129.24±1.23)Ma和(125.28±1.26)Ma、(125.56±1.20)Ma,测试结果可信。40Ar/39Ar法年龄测定结果表明,寨上金矿床形成于燕山晚期,并可能历经了约5Ma时间最终形成。对西秦岭地区已有的金矿床测年数据进行分析后认为,该区可能存在3个金矿成矿高峰期,即220~170Ma、130Ma前后和50Ma左右。

西昆仑山前冲断带晚新生代构造地貌特征

在卫片解译、DEM数据处理、地形图分析与剖面制作的基础上,结合野外构造地貌考察与观测,对西昆仑山前冲断带的构造地貌特征进行了定量、半定量的研究。沿山前发育系统的水系变化、冲积扇变化、不对称背斜、大规模正断裂、不对称河流阶地等典型的构造地貌,表明这条由南向北逆冲的冲断带在扩展过程中存在着由西向东迁移的特征。冲断带的东西分段以桑株河为界,以西发育固满背斜,其构造样式为向北的逆冲伴随向南的反冲;以东发育一系列不对称的背斜,表现出明显的由南向北逆冲的特征,地表无明显的反冲构造出现。利用生长地层和河流阶地估算了西昆仑山的隆升速率:晚上新世—早更新世以来的最低隆升速率为0.21～0.25mm/a,100ka以来的隆升速率为1.5mm/a。

Petrological and geochronological constraints on the origin of the Palimé–Amlamé granitoids (South Togo, West Africa): A segment of the West African Craton Paleoproterozoic margin reactivated during the Pan-African collision

The Palimé–Amlamé Pluton (PAP) in southern Togo, consists of silica-rich to intermediate granitoids including enclaves of mafic igneous rocks and of gneisses. They are commonly called the “anatectic complex of Palimé–Amlamé” and without any convincing data, they were interpreted either as synkinematic Pan-African granitoids or as reworked pre Pan-African plutons. New field and petrological observations, mineral and whole-rock chemical analyses together with U–Pb zircon dating, have been performed to evaluate the geodynamic significance of the PAP within the Pan-African orogenic belt. With regard to these new data, the granitoids and related enclaves probably result from mixing and mingling processes between mafic and silicic magmas from respectively mantle and lower crust sources. They display Mg–calc-alkaline chemical features and present some similarities with Late Archaean granites such as transitional (K-rich) TTGs and sanukitoids.

The 2127 ± 2 Ma age obtained from a precise U/Pb concordia on zircon, points out a Paleoproterozoic age for the magma crystallization and a lower intercept at 625 ± 29 Ma interpreted as rejuvenation during Pan-African tectonics and metamorphism. Based on these results, a Pan-African syn to late orogenic setting for the PAP, i.e. the so-called “anatectic complex of Palimé–Amlamé”, can be definitively ruled out. Moreover according to its location within the nappe pile and its relationships with the suture zone, the PAP probably represents a fragment of the West African Craton reactivated during the Pan-African collision.     

西昆仑麻扎-康西瓦一带温泉沟群的形成时代及物源区分析

温泉沟群出露在西昆仑麻扎-康西瓦构造接合带的南侧,岩性主要为浅变质的碎屑岩,对这套碎屑岩的形成时代和产出构造背景目前还存在着争议。采于这套地层中的大量微体古生物化石表明,其形成时代为早志留世。物质组成、岩石碎屑特征、岩石地球化学特征等的分析结果显示,其物源区主要为活动大陆边缘、过渡陆壳和造山再旋回物源区,形成时的构造环境为深海相残留洋盆。这些分析结果为康西瓦结合带的研究提供了地层学方面的依据。     

青海同仁县隆务峡地区首次发现镁铁质——超镁铁质岩带

在青海省同仁县隆务峡南段的二叠纪地层中首次发现了北西—南东向分布的镁铁质—超镁铁质岩带,命名为隆务峡镁铁质—超镁铁质岩带。该岩带的岩石组合包括纯橄岩、辉石橄榄岩、辉长岩、辉绿岩、枕状玄武岩等。从超镁铁岩—下部堆晶岩—辉绿岩—上部堆晶岩,其稀土元素总量逐渐增加,稀土元素配分型式总体一致,从超镁铁岩的Eu正异常到上部辉长岩的Eu负异常,显示了各岩石间的同源性。根据对其两侧沉积岩中化石的研究,推测该镁铁质—超镁铁质岩带的形成时代为二叠纪。该岩带位于西秦岭造山带与祁连造山带的接舍部,对于揭示秦岭和祁连接合部的大地构造演化有重要意义。     

Gravitational model of the Taiwan lithosphere (along the profile Taiwan Strait-Taiwan Island-West Philippine basin)

Based on two-dimensional gravity modeling, the density section of the lithosphere beneath Taiwan and the surrounding areas is constructed. According to the density parameters, the lithosphere of this region comprises both the continental and oceanic types. The continental lithosphere is lighter than the oceanic one and demonstrates insignificant density differentiation through the entire section. The oceanic lithosphere is more contrasting with respect of both the crust and mantle density. The complicated Taiwan density structure corresponding to Taiwan Island is defined to be superimposed on the transition zone between the continental and oceanic lithospheric blocks. This structure with contrasting density boundaries is characterized by the elevated and high density values of its constituting heterogeneities. The formation of the Taiwan density structure is related to geodynamic processes in the Taiwan area marking the collision zone between the Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates.
