Neoproterozoic (Cryogenian) stromatolites from the Wolfe Basin,east Kimberley,Western Australia: Correlation with the Centralian Superbasin

Linella avis, an early to middle Neoproterozoic (Tonian to Cryogenian) stromatolite, occurs in the Eliot Range Dolomite, part of the Ruby Plains Group in the Wolfe Basin, east Kimberley. Previously, this dolomite was assigned to the Mesoproterozoic Bungle Bungle Dolomite in the Osmond Basin, which contains a different suite of stromatolites. Linella avis, which also occurs in the Neoproterozoic Bitter Springs Formation of the Amadeus Basin, central Australia, appears to be restricted to rocks aged around 850 to 800 Ma. The presence of L. avis indicates that the Ruby Plains Group is a probable correlative of the Heavitree Quartzite and Bitter Springs Formation, and is probably much younger than the Bungle Bungle Dolomite. If the correlation suggested here is correct, the Wolfe Basin, together with the Amadeus and Ngalia Basins, formed part of the Centralian Superbasin.     

不纯碳酸盐岩的变质作用

不纯碳酸盐岩中的矿物共生组合与变质时的总压和二氧化碳分压密切相关。总压增高促使透闪石、透辉石和橄榄石等矿物生成温度增高。变质过程中岩石中流体成分的变化有两种极端情况,即渗滤作用和缓冲作用。渗滤作用下变质反应,变质矿物界线和变质矿物特征等均与缓冲作用下有所差异,以此可以区别它们。湖北宿松群和河北红旗营子群不纯大理岩是在渗滤作用下变质的。山西五台群板峪口组不纯大理岩是在缓冲加渗滤作用下变质的。     

扬子东南缘高涧群底部锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄

分布在凯里-怀化-溆铺-双峰-衡阳-萍乡一线以南,叠覆于武陵运动界面之上的陆缘斜坡-盆地相沉积被称为高涧群或下江群,被认为属板溪群的同期异相沉积。但迄今为止却还没有直接在高涧群底部获得可靠的年龄数据,以致二者的时限及对应关系难以确认。本文通过高涧群石桥铺组玄武-安山质火山角砾岩的采样分析,获得锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄828.8±9.6 Ma,与相当层位的湖北花山群底部的层状玄武岩SHRIMP U-Pb年龄824±9 Ma基本一致。因此,推断扬子东南缘沉积盆地从武陵造山运动结束至裂谷作用启动这一转换过程的时间点可能在830Ma左右。这一认识为扬子东南缘裂谷盆地演化与充填序列由南东向北西形成依次超覆的“楔状地层”模式提供了有力的约束性证据。     

Oxygen and carbon isotope composition of Gordon Group carbonates (Ordovician), Florentine Valley,Tasmania, Australia

The Gordon Group carbonates consist of biota of the Chlorozoan assemblage, diverse non‐skeletal grains and abundant micrite and dolomite, similar to those of modern warm water carbonates. Cathodoluminescence studies indicate marine, meteoric and some burial cements. Dolomites replacing burrows, mudcracks and micrite formed during early diagenesis.

δ¹⁸O values (‐5 to ‐7%ō PDB) of the non‐luminescent fauna and marine cement are lighter than those of modern counterparts but are similar to those existing within low latitudes during the Ordovician because of the light δ¹⁸O values of Ordovician seawater (‐3 to ‐5%o SMOW). The δ¹⁸O difference (2%o) between marine and meteoric calcite indicates that Ordovician meteoric water was similar to that in modern subtropics. Values of δ¹³C relative to δ¹⁸O indicate that during the Early Ordovician there were higher atmospheric CO₂ levels than at present but during the Middle and Late Ordovician they became comparable with the present because of a change from ‘Greenhouse’ to glacial conditions. δ¹⁸O values of Late Ordovician seawater were heavier than in the Middle Ordovician mainly because of glaciation.

Dolomitization took place in marine to mixed‐marine waters while the original calcium carbonate was undergoing marine to meteoric diagenesis.     

北祁连西段祁青构造混杂岩中的单颗粒锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

在北祁连西段三岔口等6幅1∶5万区域地质调查中,对祁青构造混杂岩进行了调查研究,通过LA-ICPMS法单颗粒锆石U-Pb同位素测年,获得206Pb/238U表面加权平均年龄494±15Ma,相当于中寒武世,故将该混杂岩解体,部分归为中寒武世黑刺沟组。     

内蒙古固阳地区太古宙乌拉山群构造变形分析

乌拉山群的变质－变形问题一直有不同的认识＾「１～３」。该文以固阳地区３幅１∶５万区调资料为基础,结合９０年代以来周边地区１∶５万区调成果,提出晚太古宙乌拉山群经历了两期主要的构造变形。第一期为伸展体制下近水平分层剪切形成的固态流变褶皱和高温顺层韧性剪切带,属高角闪岩相－麻粒岩相,变形时间为太古代末;第二期构造变形为地壳抬升之后的剂压体制下,中、浅层次的紧闭同斜相似褶皱－－主期褶皱和低温韧性剪切带,     

宁夏中奥陶统香山群徐家圈组大地构造环境分析

宁夏香山群为一套遭受轻微区域变质的陆源碎屑岩,并夹有少量碳酸盐岩和硅质岩,属于深水浊流沉积,从下到上可分为徐家圈组、狼嘴子组和磨盘井组。长期以来对香山群的研究主要集中在时代探讨上,而在其他方面较薄弱。本文以徐家圈组为主要研究对象,从浊积砂岩的碎屑颗粒类型百分含量、常量元素和微量元素等方面对其沉积时的大地构造环境进行了综合研究。结果表明:碎屑颗粒类型显示出典型的被动大陆边缘;常量元素的判别则出现了不确定性;微量元素则显示出了过渡性质。因此,香山群徐家圈组沉积时大地构造环境可能不是简单的被动大陆边缘,其物源极有可能来自被动大陆边缘、活动大陆边缘和大陆岛弧之间的带有过渡性质的源区。

桂北地区丹洲群碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素特征及其地质意义

桂北丹洲群顶部拱洞组粉砂岩的碎屑锆石的阴极发光图像和Th/U(0.2~2.4)值显示,它们均为岩浆成因的锆石。锆石~(206)Pb/~(238)Pb年龄分布在730~769Ma和771~850Ma之间,这些锆石的Hf同位素成分范围较大,ε_(Hf)(t)值和二阶段Hf模式年龄(T_(DM2))分别为-18.4~11.4和1020~2812Ma。此外,样品中还有一些年龄较老的锆石颗粒,~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb年龄为1910~3140Ma,ε_(Hf)(t)值和二阶段Hf模式年龄(T_(DM2))分别为-13.6~3.4和2740~3635Ma。结合前人的研究推测,桂北丹洲群拱洞组沉积年龄小于等于706±10Ma,物源主要由扬子板块新元古代岩浆岩组成,也有少量太古宙岩浆岩的加入。推测中国华南地区存在对应于Rodinia超大陆聚合相关的格林威尔运动的响应。根据已测锆石的ε_(Hf)(t)值和Hf二阶段模式年龄推断,研究区地壳生长主要经历3个阶段:(1)3.64~3.25Ga,初生地壳出现在3.64Ga;(2)2.98~2.37Ga;(3)2.19~1.28Ga,地壳生长的主要时期。
