浙江景宁鹤溪群斜长角闪岩变质新生锆石特征、离子探针(SHRIMP)U-Pb年龄及地质意义

景宁鹤溪群斜长角闪岩变质新生锆石特征是粒度均匀（约70μm）,晶体结晶和透明度极好,色调一致的淡粉红色,呈金刚光泽．未见裂隙、表面熔蚀、环带和核心构造。离子探针质谱GHRIMPⅡ）的206Pb／238U、207Pb／235U两组年龄在误差范围内基本谐和,206Pb／238U年龄的加权平均值（252±5Ma）为变质新生铁石的结晶年龄。锆石的精确定年（252±5Ma）为丽水—余姚断裂以东地区呈“天窗式”零星出露于中生代火山岩系中的鹤溪群提供了一个变质作用的确切年龄,也为印支运动在丽水—余姚断裂以东地区的存在提供了重要的年代学佐证。     

通化集安群石榴子石和黑云母微区化学成分特征及其对变质作用p-T-t轨迹的指示意义

集安群片麻岩中石榴子石和黑云母接触带两侧边缘广泛发育Fe－Mg交换反应所形成的扩散环带,但晶体内部各自保持变质峰期的成分,中温带石榴子石可保留生长环带。经微区化学成分详细研究后,正确运用Grt－Bt温度计获得进变质阶段,变质高峰期和修期后Fe－Mg交换反应停止时的温度条件。按石榴子石和斜长石的微区钙含量变化确定了峰期和退变质阶段压力。据此建立起逆时针形式的变质作用p－T－t轨迹,反映该区早元古代陆壳内裂陷带的闭合过程。     

Upper Silurian–Middle Devonian radiolarian zones of the Yokokurayama and Konomori areas in the Kurosegawa Belt, Southwest Japan

Five radiolarian zones, from the Upper Silurian to Middle Devonian, are discriminated from the tuffaceous successions of the Joryu and Nakahata Formations of the Yokokurayama Group of the Yokokurayama area and the Konomori area in the Kurosegawa Belt, Southwest Japan. The definition of the zones is based on the first appearance biohorizon of the characteristic species. The zones are the Pseudospongoprunum sagittatum, Futobari solidus, Trilonche (?) sp. A, Glanta fragilis and Protoholoeciscus hindea zones, in ascending order. The preliminary age assignments for the zones are discussed on the basis of the comparison with other previous documented faunas. The age determination of the formations suggests the presence of unconformities and the episodic sedimentation of the tuffaceous strata in the Yokokurayama Group.     

内蒙古温都尔庙地区温都尔庙群的形成环境和构造意义

内蒙古温都尔庙地区有一套统称为温都尔庙群的变质岩系,该岩系主要由两种不同的岩石组合组成：一套是出露于乌兰沟一带的浅变质岩系,主要由变玄武岩、硅质岩、火山碎屑岩、碎屑岩组成的基性火山岩－碎屑岩组合;另一套是出露于德言其庙一带的深变质岩系,主要由斜长角并岩、斜长片麻岩组成。这两套岩石组合在变形变质、岩石化学和形成环境等方面都有很大的差异,前者主要表面出弧后盆地的特征,后者则是拉张过程中板底垫托的产物,它们分别代表了华北板块北缘中元古代不同构造演化阶段的产物。     

论赣西北中元古界双桥山群构造样式地层序列及地质意义

赣西北地区双桥山群自上而下划分为修水组、安乐林组,共计１１个岩性段,其时代属中元古代蓟县纪,并以近东西向褶皱叠加早期近南北向褶皱为主要变形样式。就该群构造样式、地层序列、变质温压条件以及沉积环境等进行简要论述与综合分析,在此基础上对本区长期争议的“修水运动”作出了否定的回答。     

The globular cluster system of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy: the age of Terzan 8

We present deep V - and I -band CCD photometry of the globular cluster Terzan 8, recently found to be a member of the globular cluster system of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We accurately estimate the metallicity of Terzan 8, and provide the first direct determination of the colour excess toward this cluster. Our robust age estimate confirms that this cluster is indeed coeval with typical Galactic globulars of comparable metal content, and thus it is probably significantly older than at least two other Sagittarius clusters, Terzan 7 and Arp 2. The implications of this result on the star formation history of the Sagittarius galaxy are briefly discussed.

Evolution of three unconformity‐bounded sandy carbonate successions in the McArthur River region of northern Australia: The Lawn,Wide and Doom Supersequences in a proximal part of the Isa Superbasin

Gamma‐ray curves from surface outcrops together with U–Pb SHRIMP zircon dating are used to redefine the evolution of a Palaeoproterozoic sandy dolostone succession from northern Australia. This case history indicates that gamma‐ray logging of surface sections should accompany lithostratigraphic logging or an inadequate interpretation of stratigraphic evolution is a likely outcome. The 1200 m‐thick Nathan Group from the McArthur River area had previously been interpreted as a more‐or‐less continuous package of carbonates deposited in lacustrine and associated shallow‐water environments. Now it is seen to comprise the preserved remnants of three truncated, second‐order supersequences—the Lawn, Wide and Doom Supersequences—each a few hundred metres thick and each deposited over a time period of a few million years. These supersequences are separated by major stratigraphic breaks each approaching probably 10 million years duration. Each supersequence comprises several third‐order sequences which themselves contain higher‐order cycles. These were deposited in a series of continental, shoreline, and inner to outer carbonate platform environments. Transgressive, high‐energy, fluvial to marginal marine, mixed clastic‐carbonate facies dominate most of the sequences. The middle, Wide Supersequence, however, preserves deeper water (mostly sub‐storm‐wave‐base) stromatolitic facies in one sequence, and storm‐reworked clastics in another. These are interpreted as condensed intervals deposited around their respective maximum flooding surfaces and are succeeded by regressive facies that probably represent highstand systems tracts. New correlations between these 1615–1575 Ma sandy carbonate successions of the McArthur Basin (Amos, Balbirini and Dungaminnie Formations) and time‐equivalent largely clastic successions in the Lawn Hill area (Lawn Hill and Doomadgee Formations), some 400 km to the southeast, are proposed.
