伊犁盆地侏罗系水西沟群层序地层学研究

伊犁盆地侏罗系水西沟群是一套在基本一致的构造应力和沉积环境下形成的含煤碎屑岩建造,但在这套地层的中部(三工河组)出现了岩性、颜色的突变,并且对应的测井曲线也出现明显的突坎现象。笔者运用层序地层学的观点,从年代地层、岩性、体系域、沉积韵律以及测井曲线解释等5方面对这一现象进行了分析,认为该群中部存在一不整合面(或层序界面),并尝试对水西沟群层序地层进行重新划分。

四川盆地西部雅安地区陆相中-新生代地层划分及区域对比

四川盆地西部雅安地区中-新生代地层中发育多门类化石,以介形类生物最为丰富,综合前人资料,可划分出1个植物组合带、1个双壳组合带和6个介形类组合带。部分地层的古地磁和ESR测年数据与2000年公布的地质年代数据基本吻合,可以作为年代地层划分的辅助依据。     

热水沉积-热液改造成因铅锌矿床——河南熊耳群火山岩中一种新的矿床类型

骑马沟铅锌矿赋存于熊耳群条纹状硅质大理岩与火山凝灰岩之间.通过对矿床地质、岩石、矿物组合特征等方面的初步研究,认为该矿床为热水沉积-热液改造成因铅锌矿床,其成矿主要与熊耳期火山岩及火山气液作用有关.这是在河南熊耳群火山岩中首次发现的该类矿床类型.     

河南西峡地区二郎坪群火神庙组中发现泥盆纪孢子化石

在河南省西峡地区二郎坪群火神庙组粉砂质板岩中发现丰富的陆生植物孢子(Spores)、少数疑源类(Acritarchs)和极少数几丁虫(Chitinozoa)化石.该化石孢子组合可与中国华南、西南地区和西秦岭中泥盆世早期孢子组合比较,亦可与西欧和北美中泥盆世早期的孢子带比较,时代为中泥盆世,并有可能为中泥盆世早期,相当于西欧艾菲尔期(Eifelian).     

内蒙古白云鄂博南东黑脑包腮林忽洞群下部发现地震滑塌岩块

笔者等在内蒙古白云鄂博铁铌稀土矿床东南约25km处的达尔罕茂明安联合旗黑脑包腮林忽洞群下部发现一个厚30余米、呈北西向延伸的滑塌岩块。滑塌岩块的岩性主要为薄层黄灰色微晶灰岩与青灰色泥质微晶灰岩互层，单层厚多为1～2cm。风化面上可见青灰色泥质灰岩层抗风化能力较强，呈突出状。青灰色薄层泥灰岩在宏观上即见大量层间破碎，几乎层层都被小的同生断裂错开，有的薄层被分割成叠瓦状的碎块，有的被邻层的泥质贯入而分割成一个个竹节状块体（即布丁构造）。同生小断裂和布丁构造为同沉积期的地震造成，因此，发育同沉积布丁构造的薄层微晶灰岩可以看作是典型的震积岩。整个岩块发生了强烈的褶皱变形，且变形强度自下而上逐渐变弱。岩层在下部强烈褶皱，向上规模和强度都逐渐变小，直到变为未变形的平直岩层，具有明显的不协调性。这种褶皱是岩块受地震影响而整体滑塌过程中的变形记录。震积岩和滑塌褶皱都揭示了盆地边界的拉张背景，同时指示盆地自南东向北西水体变深的地貌格局。这一发现表明，腮林忽洞群沉积的早期就已有地震事件发生，与已知的腮四组震积岩和腮五组微晶丘一起，表明腮林忽洞群沉积时期，本地先后至少有两个阶段处于不稳定的地震活跃阶段。腮林忽洞群可能相当于白云鄂博群的下部，后者中产著名的白云鄂博铁铌稀土矿床，成矿的同位素年龄值有2．1～0．4Ga多种不同的结果，但多位微体古生物学者均认为是震旦纪至奥陶纪，且在腮林忽洞群中还发现了三叶虫碎片，故作者等在本文取信腮林忽洞群为寒武纪～奥陶纪。在腮林忽洞群顶部产有厚近百米的微晶丘，与白云鄂博矿区的赋矿白云岩相当，可能均是热水沉积形成。所以，本文对于认识白云鄂博地区腮林忽洞群沉积时（寒武纪-奥陶纪？）的大地构造性质及白云鄂博矿床的成因具有重要意义。     

江西贵溪盆地罗塘群沉积相特征

早白垩世晚期江西贵溪盆地的控盆断裂活动加强,在盆地边缘的不同地带及盆地中心发育有不同的沉积相。野外露头岩性相特征和剖面的研究表明,贵溪盆地罗塘群主要发育有冲积扇相、扇三角洲相、辫状河三角洲相、辫状河相及湖泊相,不同的沉积相出现在盆地演化的不同阶段,并由不同的岩性相组成。沉积相的特征、分布及组合形式反映了陆相断陷红盆沉积地层相带窄、横向及纵向上相变快的特点。     

U-Pb Zircon Dating of the Granitic Conglomerates of the Hutuo Group： Affinities to the Wutai Granitoids and Significance to the Tectonic Evolution of the Trans-North China Orogen

1 Introduction The North China Craton (NCC) is considered to be the oldest and largest cratonic block in China. Recent studies to gain understanding of basement architecture of the NCC has led to its division into the Western and Eastern Blocks, separated by a N-S trending Paleoproterozoic Trans-North China Orogen (TNCO) (Fig. 1; Zhao et al., 1998, 1999a, 2000a, 2001a; Wilde et al., 2002). Although there is now abroad consensus that the final assembly of the NCC was completed by th…     

Reappraisal of the structure of the Western Iron Ore Group, Singhbhum craton, eastern India: Implications for the exploration of BIF-hosted iron ore deposits

The middle to late Archean Iron Ore Group rocks occurring along the western margin (the Western Iron Ore basin) of the Singhbhum Granite massif in the Singhbhum craton were deformed during Iron Ore orogeny and are disposed in a horseshoe-shaped synclinal structure in the eastern part of the Indian shield. The Western Iron Ore basin hosts almost all the major high-grade iron ore deposits of eastern India. Contrary to the established view, present analysis emphasizes that the horseshoe fold in reality is a synclinorium consisting of a syncline–anticline fold pair which were later cross-folded along an east–west axis.

Structural analysis in the eastern anticline of the ‘horseshoe synclinorium’ suggests that the BIF hosting the high-grade iron ore bodies are disposed in three linear NNE–SSW trending belts, each showing an open synclinal geometry. Later cross folding produced development of widespread dome and basin pattern at the sub-horizontal hinge zones of these synclinal fold belts. The major iron ore deposits in the eastern anticline at the present level of erosion are preferentially localized within shallow elongated basinal structures only. The axis of the adjoining western syncline was similarly uplifted as partial culminations where cross-folded against E–W anticlinal axes. But here, the BIF-iron ore bodies are preferentially localized within elongated domal structures in contrast to the basinal sites in the adjacent eastern anticline. Such an inference based on structural analysis could probably be utilized as a potential tool for all future explorations, reserve estimation and recovery of the iron ore deposits in the terrain.     

Neoproterozoic Chingasan Group in the Yenisei Ridge: new data on age and deposition environments

Trachybasalt-alkali trachyte volcanism in the Yenisei Ridge was found out to be synchronous with deposition of coarse tilloids and flysch of the Chivida Formation of the Neoproterozoic Chingasan Group. New 703±4 Ma ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar biotite and titan-augite ages of subalkaline basalts in the Chivida Formation indicated that they erupted in the Late Neoproterozoic. According to microfossil evidence, the Chingasan sediments correlate with Late Neoproterozoic strata in the type sections of the southern Siberian craton. The Chingasan deposition apparently lasted no longer than 30 Myr judging by the isotope ages obtained for the underlying Upper Vorogovka Group and subalkaline basalts in the Chivida Formation. The fault-parallel position of grabens and coarse grain sizes and variable thicknesses of their lithological complexes, as well as syndepositional trachybasalt-alkali trachyte volcanism provided evidence that the volcanosedimentary rocks of the Chingasan Group formed in an environment of active rifting.
