香山群辉绿岩地球化学特征及其构造背景

现有地质资料分析,把发育于香山群第三亚群辉绿岩时代下限定为早古生代。辉绿岩主元素以高钠、镁,低钾、钛为特征。稀土总量(∑REE)较低,轻、重稀土分馏作用不明显;基本不显示Eu异常,球粒陨石标准化配分曲线具有平缓的特征。与原始地幔相比,微量元素值约是原始地幔标准值的2~10倍,大离子亲石元素(LILE)相对亏损,高场强元素(HFSE)分布平坦且不分异;N-MORB标准化蛛网图上,呈现大离子亲石元素(LILE)富集特征。地球化学特征表明:辉绿岩属于大洋拉斑玄武岩系列,显示了伸展作用的构造背景。另外,结合岩石学、沉积背景和同构造期岩套特征分析,再次验证了在中晚寒武世,阿拉善地块南缘与鄂尔多斯地块西南缘具离散型大陆边缘性质。     

A numerical study of tidal asymmetry: preferable asymmetry of nonlinear mechanisms in Xiangshan Bay,East China Sea

In-situ measurements in Xiangshan Bay, the East China Sea, show that the duration of the rising tide is shorter than that of the falling tide around the bay mouth, while it becomes much longer in the inner bay. A finite volume coastal ocean model (FVCOM) with an unstructured mesh was applied to simulate the asymmetric tidal field of Xiangshan Bay. The model reproduced the observed tidal elevations and currents successfully. Several numerical experiments were conducted to clarify the roles of primary mechanisms underlying the asymmetric tidal field. According to the model results, the time-varying channel depth and nonlinear advection prefer shorter duration of the rising tide in Xiangshan Bay, while the time-varying bay width favors longer duration of the rising tide. The overtides generated by these two opposite types of nonlinear mechanisms are out of phase, resulting in smaller M₄ amplitude than the sumfold of each individual contribution. Although the bottom friction as a nonlinear mechanism contributes little to the generation of overtide M₄, it is regarded as a mechanism that could cause a shorter duration of the rising tide, for it can slow down the M₂ phase speed much more than it slows down the M₄ phase speed. The time-varying depth, nonlinear advection and bottom friction are dominating factors around the bay mouth, while the time-varying width dominates in the inner bay, causing the tidal elevation asymmetry to be inverted along the bay.     

江西相山地区航空放射性钾增量异常特征及其地质成因探讨

本文基于航空放射性K能谱数据再开发,结合野外地质调查、显微岩石学、元素地球化学等手段,分析并探讨了相山火山盆地航空放射性钾增量异常特征及其地质成因。研究表明,相山地区钾增量正值域与负值域呈NE带状相间分布,其空间延伸方位与地层的走向不一致,表现出跨地质单元现象,反映了增量场受断裂构造控制以及成岩后热液改造的基本属性。不同地质体钾含量存在差异,然而与正常未蚀变岩石比较,与铀成矿作用相关的水云母化蚀变岩石中的钾增量值表现出相对降低的趋势。钾增量亏损场(带)的形成与成矿流体在蚀变过程中具有"去钾"作用相关,是水云母交代钾长石作用的结果。铀矿床的定位与钾增量相对亏损场(带)具有良好的对应关系。根据钾增量相对亏损场可以大致圈定水云母化蚀变场,进而确定成矿流体活动范围,为铀成矿远景预测提供较为可靠的信息。     

Late Palaeozoic tectonic setting of the southern Alxa Block,NW China: constrained by age and composition of diabase

The ages of diabase outcropping on the southern Alxa Block and in related tectonic setting are not well constrained, but are important for exploring the tectonic evolution of the southern Alxa Block. The ages of the zircons from the diabase intruding the Middle–Late Cambrian Xiangshan Group were measured using sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe II (SHRIMPII) and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), and the weighted mean ages of 276.8 ± 7.9 Ma and 276.2 ± 9.7 Ma were obtained, respectively. The major elements in the diabase indicate that it may belong to the tholeiitic series. With specific features of the rare earth elements (REEs) and trace elements, potentially affected by the continental crust based on the observed strong positive Pb anomaly, the diabase was produced in an intra-plate extension environment. Similar diabase/basalts were also found along the southern margin of the Alxa Block. Combined with sedimentary, palaeo-current, mafic, and felsic rocks in the southern Alxa Block, a back-arc extension environment potentially occurred in the southern Alxa Block during the Early–Middle Permian that resulted from the convergence between the North China Block (NCB) and the Yangtze Block.     

Petrology, Geochemistry and Zircon U-Pb Geochronology of the Xiangshan Group in the Eastern Hexi Corridor Belt: Implications for Provenance and Tectonic Evolution

The eastern Hexi Corridor Belt (HCB) is located in the transitional belt among the Alxa Block, the Qilian Orogenic Belt and the North China Block. Because of its unique tectonic location, the tectonic setting, provenance, and even the age of the sedimentary strata in the eastern HCB during the Early Paleozoic remain controversial. This study analyzes the provenance of the poorly studied Xiangshan Group, discusses its age of development and tectonic setting in the eastern HCB using a combination of petrological, geochemical and LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon dating methods. Based on the youngest age peaks and the fossil evidence, we suggest that the Xiangshan Group is Middle Cambrian to Late Ordovician in age. The complexity of the geochemical characteristics and associated diagrams suggests that the early stage of the Xiangshan Group developed in a passive continental margin environment, late in the back-arc basin of the eastern HCB. Based on the sandstone detrital composition, whole-rock geochemistry and detrital zircon ages, we conclude that the Xiangshan Group had an early provenance that was mainly from the Qilian Block and a late provenance from the Qilian Block and the western Alxa Block. The eastern HCB and its northern and southern blocks have similar palaeontology, lithology and basement age characteristics to the South China Block. This indicates that the eastern HCB might not have formed in the intra-continental aulacogen of the North China Block during the Early Paleozoic but has a close affinity to eastern Gondwana.
