兰州马衔山北缘断裂中段晚第四纪活动的新证据

马衔山北缘断裂为兰州市区南侧一条规模较大的区域性活动断裂带,总体走向N60°W,长约115 km.该断裂大致可划分为4条次级断裂段,自东向西分别为内官营段、马衔山段、七道梁段和雾宿山段.其中,内官营段为晚更新世活动段,雾宿山段为全新世活动段并为1125年兰州7级地震的发震断裂,而中间的马衔山段和七道梁段以往研究所获得的新活动证据不多,认识不统一.近期经过详细的追踪考察,获得了马衔山段和七道梁段晚第四纪活动的新证据,结合该区多次历史地震的活动特征,表明其为晚第四纪活动断裂,具左旋走滑兼倾滑运动特征.     

长白山区湿地表土植硅体特征及其环境意义*

湿地在全球环境变化中扮演着十分重要的角色,湿地表土中的植硅体分析是恢复第四纪古环境的重要途径。文中选取长白山区的桦南到哈尼一线的6处湿地表土,并采用PCA和CA分析植硅体组合的环境指示意义,结果显示：温度因子是造成长白山不同湿地表土植硅体组合差异的第1环境因子,且植硅体的种类和含量与采样点上覆植被、湿度与海拔等环境条件都存在相关性。结合方差分析和植硅体大小变化趋势分析曲线可以看出,不同表土中符合方差分析条件的植硅体类型的大小随着温度的升高而增大。总体来看,长白山区6处湿地中,植硅体类型基本相同,但温暖指数和植硅体的大小差异较显著,说明植硅体大小及其组合对温度都有较敏感的响应。     

内蒙锡林浩特鸽子山火山地质研究

鸽子山火山位于内蒙古自治区锡林浩特市东南,处于大兴安岭-大同新生代火山喷发带中段,是锡林浩特-阿巴嘎火山群中保存最为完好的一座玄武质火山。火山喷发物的分布面积约55km²,主要为降落火山渣、溅落熔结火山碎屑岩和熔岩流,成分主要为碧玄岩,晚期有少量的橄榄拉斑玄武岩,碧玄岩中含有较多二辉橄榄岩包体和辉石及歪长石巨晶。火山由锥体、熔岩流和火山碎屑席组成,锥体由早期的降落锥和晚期溅落锥复合而成。火山口经历多次塌陷而成为破火口。锥体西侧及北东侧出露两个仍保留了原始形态的熔岩溢出口,熔岩流类型为结壳熔岩,由多个岩流单元组成,局部地区的熔岩流中发育较多保存完好的喷气锥、喷气碟或喷气塔。火山碎屑席主要分布在锥体的东侧,厚度由锥体向外逐渐减薄。火山活动可分为早、晚两个阶段,早期为爆破式喷发,形成火山渣锥和碎屑席,属亚布里尼型喷发,晚期主要为溢流式喷发,形成溅落锥和大规模熔岩流,其活动时代为晚更新世末-全新世。     

An 800 million-year detrital zircon record of continental amalgamation: Tarim basin,NW China

Sedimentary provenance studies based on detrital zircon ages have proved to be a powerful tool for elucidating detailed patterns of erosion and sediment dispersal on and adjacent to the continents. This approach is commonly used to examine processes that occur over discrete intervals of geologic time, but it can also be used to address fundamental questions concerning the longer-term evolution of the continental crust. Central Asia, for example, consists of a Palaeozoic accretionary collage that contrasts with the cratonal cores of continents such as North America, which were fully consolidated during the Proterozoic. Detrital zircon provenance may thus provide important insights on the comparative evolution of these distinctly different styles of continental growth. The Tarim sedimentary basin is interpreted to be underlain by a micro-continental block that accreted to central Asia during the late Palaeozoic. Detrital zircon in pre-Permian strata of the northern Tarim basin includes Precambrian grains derived from Tarim basement, and Palaeozoic grains related to active tectonism along its margins. During this phase of tectonic amalgamation, overall sediment maturity increased up-section, consistent with similar observations from other cratons. However, in Tarim these trends reverse dramatically in Mesozoic and Cenozoic strata deposited after amalgamation of Tarim with central Asia. Palaeozoic zircon grains derived from the Tian Shan become dominant, Precambrian grains drop to trace abundances, and sandstone composition shift abruptly to immature litharenite. Moreover, a progressively increasing temporal gap occurs between zircon age and depositional age, reflecting the near absence of post-amalgamation magmatic or high-grade metamorphic rocks within the Tian Shan. Collectively, these observations support a model of Tarim and other central Asian basins as islands of long-lived tectonic stability, within an orogenic collage that has remained mobile for >250 million years.     

北大巴山震旦寒武系中铜锌矿特征及找矿前景

北大巴山属南秦岭造山带,在震旦-寒武纪形成一套以深水滞流盆地相为主的硅质炭质碎屑岩夹碳酸盐岩沉积.自开展地质大调查工作以来,该区域发现大量的铜锌矿点.根据矿体赋存位置、成因及矿石类型,铜锌矿可分为韧性剪切带型、石英脉型及岩浆岩接触变质型三种类型.通过对区内铜锌矿成矿规律的总结及成矿条件的分析,认为北大巴山具有良好的矿源层、完善的输导系统、丰富的储矿空间,因而具有较大的找矿潜力.指出深大断裂带附近的庄子沟组中碳酸盐岩为有利的赋矿部位.     

新疆天山造山带新生代多期次剥露作用过程

天山造山带新生代剥露过程一直受到普遍关注.对沿横穿天山的乌鲁木齐-库尔勒公路胜利达坂以南段采集的基岩样品进行了详细的磷灰石裂变径迹分析.热史模拟结果显示,该段天山的新生代剥露历史分为两个阶段,即古近纪期间的缓慢剥露阶段和中新世以来的快速剥露阶段,其剥露速率分别为＜30m/Ma和70～ 160m/Ma.综合分析前人在东天山、北天山以及南天山等天山不同区域取得的低温热年代学数据,我们认为,新生代天山造山带可能经历了4次快速剥露过程,分别开始于新生代早期(67 ～ 65Ma)、始新世中期(约40±5Ma)、渐新世末-中新世中期(约20±5Ma)以及中新世中晚期(约10±2Ma).这4次快速剥露过程分别发生于造山带的某一或某些区域,表明新生代天山地区的剥露过程存在明显的空间差异性.从整个天山造山带来看,渐新世末-中新世中期开始的快速剥露影响范围可能最广,是新生代天山地区一次重要的剥露作用过程.
