得尔布干成矿带西南段矿床类型、成矿分带及找矿方向

得尔布干成矿带的西南段位于内蒙古自治区的新巴尔虎右旗至满洲里一带,是大兴安岭成矿省内极具找矿潜力的地区.铜、钼、铅、锌、银是该区的主要矿种,区内已发现大型矿床4处,小型矿床和矿点多处,分别形成于燕山早期和燕山晚期这2个主要成矿期,并可划分为3个矿床类型、6个矿床式.燕山早期的成矿元素主要是Cu、Mo、Au,以斑岩型和矽卡岩型矿床为主;燕山晚期的成矿元素主要为Pb、Zn、Ag,以次火山热液型和浅成热液型矿床为主.燕山期隆坳相间的构造格局和超浅成-浅成的中-酸性小岩体,控制着矿床的产出和分布.矿产地集中于燕山期隆坳交接带及其两侧,并形成以隆坳交接带为中心的、与成矿流体温度和盐度降低相伴的不对称分带.文章提出,得尔布干成矿带西南段的找矿潜力主要在隆坳交接带及其两侧,具体为已知矿区的深部及边部、乌奴格吐山-哈拉胜隆坳交接带和甲乌拉-山登脑隆坳交接带的两侧.此外,位于该区西南部的另一个隆坳交接带是潜在的矿化集中区.     

Is Comet C/1853 E1 (Secchi) extrasolar?

Comet C/1853 E1 (Secchi) has a hyperbolic orbit with eccentricity 1.01060 and perihelion outside of the Earth's orbit. Integrating the orbit with barycentric coordinates backwards to 50000 AU, the approximate edge of the Oort cloud, shows that the orbit remains hyperbolic. This is still true even if plutoids additional to Pluto are included in the integration. Nor does including Galactic tidal and disc effects and possible nongravitational forces change the orbit to a high eccentricity ellipse. Although certain factors, such as unknown massive plutoids, gravitational effects by interstellar gas clouds, or unmodelled nongravitational forces operating on the comet, could change this situation, the tentative conclusion that the origin of this comet is extrasolar remains the one most consistent with the observations (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Earthquake-controlling Processes of Detachment Zones in Eastern North China

The basin-and-range area in eastern North China is known for frequent occurrence of earthquakes, their great magnitudes and heavy losses thereby incurred. Seismic studies in the past usually emphasized the intersections, inflexions and branches of the faults. However, the intensities of many great earthquakes in this area do not show linear distribution, and the epicenters are horizontally dispersed at certain depths instead of along the strike of faults. Based on the sub-mantle plume studies made by authors in the past decade, it is thought that there exists an uplifted sub-mantle plume under the fault depression area in North China. The uplifting and intrusion of mantle materials caused the upper crust to be faulted, while low-velocity and high-velocity layers are alternatively distributed in the middle crust under the influence of the mantle and the lower crust. The middle and lower crust materials were detached from the top of the sub-mantle plume to the surroundings while the sub-mantle plume materi     

Evidence of N2-ice on the surface of the icy dwarf Planet 136472 (2005 FY9)

We present high signal precision optical reflectance spectra of 2005 FY9 taken with the Red Channel Spectrograph and the 6.5-m MMT telescope on 2006 March 4 UT (5000-9500 Å; 6.33 Å pixel⁻¹) and 2007 February 12 UT (6600-8500 Å; 1.93 Å pixel⁻¹). From cross-correlation experiments between the 2006 March 4 spectrum and a pure CH₄-ice Hapke model, we find the CH₄-ice bands in the MMT spectrum are blueshifted by 3 ± 4 Å relative to bands in the pure CH₄-ice Hapke spectrum. The higher resolution MMT spectrum of 2007 February 12 UT enabled us to measure shifts of individual CH₄-ice bands. We find the 7296, 7862, and 7993 Å CH₄-ice bands are blueshifted by 4 ± 2, 4 ± 4, and 6 ± 5 Å. From four measurements we report here and one of our previously published measurements, we find the CH₄-ice bands are shifted by 4 ± 1 Å. This small shift is important because it suggest the presence of another ice component on the surface of 2005 FY9. Laboratory experiments show that CH₄-ice bands in spectra of CH₄ mixed with other ices are blueshifted relative to bands in spectra of pure CH₄-ice. A likely candidate for the other component is N₂-ice because its weak 2.15 μm band and blueshifted CH₄ bands are seen in spectra of Triton and Pluto. Assuming the shift is due to the presence of N₂, spectra taken on two consecutive nights show no difference in CH₄/N₂. In addition, we find no measurable difference in CH₄/N₂ at different depths into the surface of 2005 FY9.     

Mesozoic to Cenozoic retroarc basin evolution during changes in tectonic regime,southern Central Andes (31–33°S): Insights from zircon U-Pb geochronology

The southern Central Andes of Argentina and Chile (27–40°S) are the product of deformation, arc magmatism, and basin evolution above a long-lived subduction system. With sufficient timing and provenance constraints, Andean stratigraphic and structural records enable delineation of Mesozoic-Cenozoic variations in subsidence and tectonic regime. For the La Ramada Basin in the High Andes at ∼31–33°S, new assessments of provenance and depositional age provided by detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology help resolve deformational patterns and subsidence mechanisms over the past ∼200 Myr. Marine and nonmarine clastic deposits recorded the unroofing of basin margins and sediment contributions from the Andean magmatic arc during Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous extension, thermal subsidence, and possible slab rollback. Subsequent sediment delivery from the Coastal Cordillera corresponded with initial flexural accommodation in the La Ramada Basin during Andean shortening of late Early Cretaceous to Late Cretaceous age. The architecture of the foreland basin was influenced by the distribution of precursor extensional depocenters, suggesting that inherited basin geometries provided important controls on later flexural subsidence and basin evolution. Following latest Cretaceous to early Paleogene tectonic quiescence and a depositional hiatus, newly dated deposits in the western La Ramada Basin provide evidence for a late Paleogene episode of intra-arc and proximal retroarc extension (development of the Abanico Basin, principally in Chile, at ∼28–44°S). Inversion of this late Paleogene extensional basin system during Neogene compression indicates the southern Central Andes were produced by at least two punctuated episodes of shortening and uplift of Late Cretaceous and Neogene age.     

雅鲁藏布江丰水期河水离子组成特征及其控制因素

为了解雅鲁藏布江丰水期河水离子组成特征及其控制因素,利用2015年采集的8个河水水样,运用数理统计、聚类分析、Piper三线图、Gibbs模型以及离子比值等方法,分析了雅鲁藏布江丰水期河水水化学特征,并探讨了其主要控制因素。结果表明：河水中阳离子以Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺为主,阴离子则以HCO₃^-和SO₄^2-为主,阴、阳离子分别约占其总量的96%和85%。河水水化学类型均为HCO₃·SO₄-Ca·Mg型。TDS含量介于202.46~371.27 mg·L^-1,均值为299.30 mg·L^-1,较世界河流平均值高。自上至下,河水水化学特征表现出一定的差异性,河水中主要离子以及TDS、TH、EC的含量沿程表现出下降的趋势,其原因主要有支流河水汇入和降水增加的稀释作用。河水水样均落在Gibbs模型图中部偏左,表明河水中主要离子化学组分主要受水岩作用控制。离子比值法分析表明研究区碳酸盐岩以及蒸发岩的风化溶解是河水水化学的主要控制因素,且存在硅酸盐类矿物的风化。     

断裂熔融作用中单质铁的形成及其指示的孕震环境

目前缺乏来自于地震断裂带的假玄武玻璃的原始特征研究,制约着我们对地震孕震环境和地震发生机制的认识。本文以龙门山断裂带汶川科钻2号钻孔岩心的碎裂岩及花岗闪长岩为研究对象,通过氩气环境下的高温加热实验(最高温度达1750℃)、显微结构观察、地球化学分析和岩石磁学测试,探讨断裂熔融作用中单质铁的形成及其指示意义。花岗闪长岩和碎裂岩在1100℃时发生部分熔融作用,形成了非晶质和微晶;在≥1300℃时形成了大量单质铁组成的微球粒,可能是含铁矿物发生了以碳物质为还原剂的高温还原反应。高温实验后样品的磁化率值高于碎裂岩的磁化率值,新生成的磁铁矿是≤1100℃的样品高磁化率值的主要原因;熔融作用中形成的单质铁和少量的磁铁矿是≥1300℃样品高磁化率值的重要原因。结合前人对于快速摩擦实验熔体、地幔物质及陨石的研究,我们认为粘土矿物、硅酸盐矿物含量较多的断层泥在同震滑移中因热增压机制很难形成单质铁;而花岗岩、安山岩、辉长岩、闪长岩等岩浆岩和糜棱岩在流体作用弱和硫化物含量低的环境中易在大地震中形成单质铁。龙门山断裂带的假玄武玻璃的熔融温度≥1300℃,硫元素含量较低并发现有过剩铁元素。因此,表明龙门山断裂带的假玄武玻璃中可能形成了单质铁,其和磁铁矿是假玄武玻璃高磁化率值异常的重要原因,并指示了深部流体作用弱、硫化物含量低、还原性的孕震环境。     

中蒙俄毗邻地区中蒙古—额尔古纳成矿带成矿地质条件与成矿特征

正介于蒙古—鄂霍次克断裂带和中蒙古—得尔布干断裂带之间的中蒙古—额尔古纳成矿带,西起蒙古杭爱山,经中戈壁省、乔巴山,向东延伸至我国大兴安岭北段满洲里—呼吗一带,封闭于俄罗斯阿穆尔州,中国境内部分包括了大兴安岭成矿省的上黑龙江(边缘海)Au(Cu-Mo)成矿带和额尔古纳Cu-Mo-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au—萤石成矿亚带(徐志刚等,2008;朱群等,2014)。     

川西冕宁-德昌稀土矿带霓长岩的地球化学特征及地质意义

霓长岩化作用是指碳酸岩(或碱性岩)流体对围岩的交代蚀变,它是碳酸岩型稀土(REE)矿床常见的蚀变类型,其所形成的岩石即为霓长岩。对霓长岩的深入研究可以鉴别碳酸岩体的存在,厘定碳酸岩岩浆(或流体)的地球化学性质及源区特征,这对于找寻碳酸岩相关的矿产资源(尤其是REE)以及剖析矿床成因机制有着重要的地质意义。川西冕宁-德昌稀土矿带是中国最重要的轻稀土矿带之一,包括牦牛坪超大型、大陆槽大型、木落寨和里庄中小型REE矿床以及一系列矿点。REE矿化与碳酸岩-碱性岩杂岩体密切相关,受一系列新生代走滑断裂的控制。该矿带广泛发育霓长岩化蚀变带,尤以大陆槽及里庄矿床为显著。岩相学分析表明,大陆槽和里庄霓长岩中的矿物多呈他形粒状结构,主要由长石、黑云母、霓辉石以及少量副矿物组成;主微量元素分析表明,霓长岩的碱质(K_2O+Na_2O)、MgO、Fe_2O_3T含量较高,且富集REE、Sr、Ba等微量元素;电子探针分析表明,霓长岩中的霓辉石Fe OT含量较高,长石Na_2O及K_2O含量较高,Ca O含量极低。An-Ab-Or三角图解显示长石主要为透长石和钠长石,属碱性长石系列;黑云母的地球化学成分图解表明云母的成因类型为交代型且具有相对富镁、贫铁等特征,属镁质黑云母。霓长岩化作用的交代流体含有较高的CO_2组分,且富含碱质、Mg、Fe及REE、Sr、Ba等元素。对比霓长岩与原岩的主微量元素发现:相比于正长岩原岩,在主量元素中,霓长岩的Fe、Mg、Ca等元素含量增加,Si、Al等元素含量降低;微量元素中,霓长岩的REE及Sr、Ba等元素显著增加。这意味着交代流体含有的Fe_2O_3T、MgO、CaO等组分在霓长岩化过程中被带进了围岩,而SiO_2和Al_2O_3等从围岩中被逐出。大陆槽及里庄矿区发育的角砾岩指示了矿区曾经历过频繁的角砾岩化事件,这提高了霓长岩作用的强度,并且为矿脉的穿插及REE矿物的沉淀提供了空间。在霓长岩化过程中,流体-围岩的组分交换反复发生,这削弱了REE络合物的稳定性,伴随多期次的热液活动及构造事件,最终完成REE活化→迁移→沉淀的过程。     

青河后造山岩体成因及其对阿尔泰造山带晚古生代构造演化的启示

阿尔泰造山带位于西伯利亚板块与哈萨克斯坦-准噶尔板块之间,是中亚造山带重要组成部分。长期以来,阿尔泰何时结束造山一直存在争议,阻碍了对中亚造山带晚古生代构造演化的认识。中国阿尔泰造山带南缘发育早二叠世花岗岩,具有碱性或A型花岗岩特征,能够反映碰撞后伸展的构造环境。青河岩体位于阿尔泰造山带东南部,主要由二长花岗岩和少量闪长岩组成,具有研究阿尔泰造山带晚期构造演化的条件。本文以此为切入点,对青河岩体开展年代学和地球化学工作。新的测年数据表明似斑状二长花岗岩(283±3Ma)、中细粒二长花岗岩(280±2Ma)、糜棱岩化二长花岗岩(286±2Ma)和辉长闪长玢岩(269±1)均形成于早二叠世。岩体高硅(SiO_2=61. 98%～73. 35%),富碱(K_2O+Na_2O=5. 84%～8. 72%,碱度率AR=2. 12～3. 65),低钙(CaO=1. 29～3. 76%),里特曼指数σ=2. 38～2. 54,K_2O/Na_2O=0. 78～1. 06,属于高钾钙碱性岩石系列。微量元素显示Ba、Sr、P、Ti、Nb、Ta亏损,Eu明显负异常(δ_(Eu)=0. 46～0. 78),10000×Ga/Al=2. 85～2. 47,反映具有A型花岗岩特征,可作为阿尔泰碰撞造山作用结束的标志。另外,这些岩体ε_(Hf)(t)值介于+4. 04～+11. 78之间,二阶段模式年龄(t_(DM2))分别变化于880～694Ma、923～633Ma、875～555Ma、1030～635Ma,揭示其源区主要由新元古代幔源物质或新生地壳组成。结合区域上同时代、同构造位置富碱性(A型)花岗岩研究结果,认为青河中酸性岩体成因与地幔岩浆底侵早期下地壳有关,是新元古代玄武质物质再熔,并发生结晶分异的结果。因此,阿尔泰造山带于早二叠世(286～280Ma)已经结束了碰撞造山作用,处于伸展的构造背景。
