柴达木北缘滩间山群时代及其地质意义

滩间山群是柴北缘早古生代重要的火山-沉积建造。基于野外地质特征、古生物组合、同位素年龄、构造-热事件等的综合分析,本文认为滩间山群形成于早-晚奥陶世,时限496~440Ma,与该区超高压变质作用不同步,后者时限545~485Ma。新的滩间山群火山-沉积建造序列表明,柴北缘从新元古代-早古生代可能存在两次构造开合演化过程。     

西昆仑麻扎-康西瓦一带温泉沟群的形成时代及物源区分析

温泉沟群出露在西昆仑麻扎-康西瓦构造接合带的南侧,岩性主要为浅变质的碎屑岩,对这套碎屑岩的形成时代和产出构造背景目前还存在着争议。采于这套地层中的大量微体古生物化石表明,其形成时代为早志留世。物质组成、岩石碎屑特征、岩石地球化学特征等的分析结果显示,其物源区主要为活动大陆边缘、过渡陆壳和造山再旋回物源区,形成时的构造环境为深海相残留洋盆。这些分析结果为康西瓦结合带的研究提供了地层学方面的依据。     

津巴布韦古元古界Deweras群地层特征研究

Deweras群位于太古界津巴布韦克拉通的西北边缘Magondi沉积变质带内,岩性主要为变质陆相沉积岩和玄武岩,是古元古界地壳运动形成大陆边缘裂谷盆地相.出露在南部的Deweras群沉积岩和基性火山岩与北中部能进行较好的对比.通过分析Deweras群变质玄武岩的地球化学元素含量,分别使用不活泼痕量元素比值Zr/TiO2与SiO2、Nb/Y与SiO2两对参数统计,认为Silverside地区的变质玄武岩属于亚碱性玄武岩.各种微量元素分布模式和比值参数相图分析也表明:位于变质带南部即Munyati,Mupfure和Alaska地区的基性熔岩与变质带北中部Doma西部地区角闪岩岩席特征一致,此处变质玄武岩均是幔源型原始岩浆演化成因.     

新疆萨尔托海高铝铬铁矿中异常矿物群的发现及意义

在萨尔托海高铝型铬铁矿中发现20余种矿物,包括金刚石、单质铬、自然铁和单质硅等自然元素类;碳化物碳硅石;铁镍、铁镍铬合金等金属合金;方铁矿、金红石、赤铁矿、磁铁矿、钛铁矿、石英和铬尖晶石等氧化物类;方铅矿、闪锌矿、针镍矿、赫硫镍矿和毒砂等硫化物类;镁橄榄石、顽火辉石、透辉石、蛇纹石、锆石和长石等硅酸岩类。这些超高压、强还原性和壳源矿物与俄罗斯极地乌拉尔以及西藏罗布莎铬铁矿可以对比,暗示萨尔托海高铝铬铁矿和高铬铬铁矿一样,可能存在深部地幔成矿阶段。深部地幔矿物以及浅部壳源矿物的发现,暗示萨尔托海铬铁矿的形成可能经历了深部地幔预富集和浅部再造富集成矿两个阶段。     

Doing groups: Situating knowledge and creating stories

This paper presents group research as a potentially powerful research tool for cultural geographers interested in the ways knowledge is produced at the interpersonal level. I argue that groups can create unique research spaces that incorporate 'sociality', the everyday social norms, logics and languages that guide ordinary conversations, into the research agenda. By concentrating on these discursive norms, insights can be obtained into the ways that knowledge is negotiated, produced and constrained in different places. To demonstrate the value of group research, a case study involving Australian environmentalists is analysed, to show how forests are constructed, contested and naturalised within this particular subculture. The article concludes by emphasising the importance of group research to critical geographers interested in social empowerment and change.     

新疆喀拉昆仑山大黄山稀土-铌-铁钛多金属矿化带地质特征及矿床成因

对喀喇昆仑山大黄山稀土-铌-铁钛多金属矿化带地质特征及矿床成因进行研究,为该区找矿勘查工作部署提供依据。通过详细的野外地质调查,在总结大黄山稀土-铌-铁钛多金属矿化带地质特征的基础上,配合镜下鉴定、矿床地球化学分析,探讨矿床成因类型与成矿作用,分析成矿期后的构造变形,预测矿化体的空间就位,提出找矿方向和找矿思路。大黄山稀土-铌-铁钛多金属矿化带含矿建造沉积环境为近陆滨-浅海碳酸盐岩台地相。矿化带处于石炭系帕斯群灰岩组（a组）上段（含矿泥质灰岩段）上部,区内延伸大于30km,西段发现2条矿化体（Ⅰ-1、Ⅰ-1）,东段发现7条矿化体（Ⅱ-1~Ⅱ-7）。单矿化体一般长170~2000 m,厚度10~32 m,矿化体产状与地层产状一致,层控特征明显。矿石化学测试结果表明,矿化体内含Fe、Al、Ti、LREE、Nb、Ta等多种金属成矿元素。矿床成因类型为近陆滨海相沉积型。矿源为古陆源区红土型风化壳,以沉积物重力流和胶体溶液混合流体形式快速搬运,并在近陆滨岸地带以事件沉积作用快速卸载堆积而成。成矿期后,含矿建造遭受了强烈的构造改造,形成了总体呈NWW向展布的断褶带,带内发育的复式-叠加反"S"型褶皱构造构成了区内最特征的控矿构造样式。该带找矿前景好,找矿潜力大,通过进一步的矿产地质工作,有望在该带实现Fe、Al、Ti,尤其是稀有、稀土元素的重要找矿突破。     

Sedimentary aspects and paleoenvironmental evolution of a rift basin: Salta Group (Cretaceous–Paleogene), northwestern Argentina

The rift history of the Salta basin is related to the evolution of the Central Andes and to the activity of the Pacific margin, owing to its geographic location. Sedimentation occurred from the Neocomian to the Paleogene, with deposits reaching up to 5,000 m in thickness. Paleoenvironmental analysis reveals an evolutionary history controlled by tectonic and climatic changes. Isolated grabens characterized the early synrift stage; differential subsidence provoked distinct environments in the southern and northern subbasins. In the southern subbasins, alluvial-fan, fluvial-fan and lacustrine deposits prevail, whilst in the northern subbasins eolian and fluvial environments dominate. During the Maastrichtian, two major factors controlled the basin fill: the decrease in tectonic subsidence and a relative sea-level rise as recorded in South America. An extensive and shallow Atlantic marine ingression installed a carbonate system coincident with mainly humid conditions until the Danian. Until the Middle Eocene, the fluvial and lacustrine environmental evolution of the sag basin was controlled especially by the alternation of temperate with dry and humid periods. Paleontological records reflect these climatic changes and show their relationship to the sedimentation regime.

分布在黔桂边境地区四堡岩群变质岩属绿片岩相,过去一直认为是低压条件下的变质产物。通过近年区调工作,用X射线粉晶衍射方法,测定泥质变质岩的白云母结晶度b0>0.9040nm,显示出高压型变质矿物———多硅白云母特征。高压变质矿物的确定,对研究该区中元古代末期Rodinia超大陆的聚合提供了佐证。     

Permo-Carboniferous Radiolarians from the Wupata＇erkan Group, Western South Tianshan, Xinjiang, China

The Wupata‘erkan Group, also called Wupata‘erkan Formation, distributed in the South Tianshan, Xinjiang,China, mainly consists of gray and dark gray fine-grained clastic rocks, interlayered with volcanic rocks, carbonates and cherts. Some ultra-basic rocks (blocks) punctuate the formation. The formation was variously assigned to Silurian-Middle Devonian, Silurian-Lower Devonian, and pre-Devonian, mainly based on Atrypa bodini Mansuy, Hypothyridina parallelepipedia (Brour.) and Prismatophyllum hexagonum Yoh collected from the limestone interlayers, respectively.However, radiolarian fossils obtained from 24 chert specimens of the Wupata‘erkan Group, mainly include Albaillella sp.cf. A. undulata Deflandre, Albaillella sp. cf. A. paradoxa Deflandre, Albaillella cf. A. deflandrei Gourmelon, Albaillella sp. cf. A. indensis Won, Albaillella sp. cf. A. excelsa Ishiga, Kito and Imoto, Albaillella sp. and Latentifistulidae gen. et. sp.indet., are earliest Carboniferous and Late Permian. The earliest Carboniferous assemblage is characterized by Albaillella sp. cf. A. undulata Deflandre, Albaillella sp. cf. A. paradoxa Deflandre, Albaillella cf. A. deflandrei Gourmelon and Albaillella sp. cf. A. indensis Won, and the Late Permian assemblage by Albaillella sp. cf. A. excelsa Ishiga, Kito and Imoto. This new stratigraphic evidence indicates that the Wupata‘erkan Group is possibly composed of rocks with different ages from Silurian to Permian, and therefore, it is probably an ophiolite mrlange. The discovery of Late Permian Albaillella sp. cf. A. excelsa provides more reliable evidence supporting the existence of a Permian relic ancient oceanic basin in the western part of Xinjiang South Tianshan.
