Geometry of the Wagner basin,upper Gulf of California based on seismic reflections

The Wagner basin occupies the northernmost spreading centre in the Gulf of California, located along the Pacific‐North America plate boundary. It is filled with sediments from the Colorado River that obscure its bathymetric expression; therefore it is not as well defined as other basins in the central and southern Gulf of California. To define the geometry and extension of the Wagner basin, a 2D multi‐channel seismic reflection database was used. Data were collected by Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) in 1979–1980. The most important regional structural features identified are the Consag and Wagner normal faults and the Cerro Prieto strike‐slip fault. These structures play an important role in the development of the basin. The Consag fault, described for the first time in this paper, marks the western side of the basin. The eastern and northwest limits are bound by the Cerro Prieto and Wagner faults respectively. The Wagner fault intersects the Cerro Prieto fault at an angle of 130°, bending the depocentre in a NW direction, adjacent to the Cerro Prieto fault zone. The northernmost segment of the Consag fault bends 25° in a NE direction and joins the Cerro Prieto fault at an angle of 110°. Greater subsidence (up to 300 m) takes place along the northern trace of the Cerro Prieto fault, with a downthrown displacement of 400 m. The Consag and Wagner breaks obliquely intersect the Cerro Prieto fault, and, inasmuch as both are normal faults, they have small horizontal slip components which generated oblique displacement. This structural pattern is different relative to the pattern of basins located south of Wagner basin, such as the Upper and Lower Delfin basins. The orientations of the normal faults are perpendicular to the master fault (Ballenas transform fault). The relationship between normal and transform faults in the Wagner basin and the observed ‘S’ shape are typical of a basin that has not yet reached maturity. As a result of this study, the previously uncertain area (～1330 km²) and perimeter (158 km) of the Wagner basin were defined.     

镇远-贵阳断裂带活动历史及其对黔中隆起演化的制约

对镇远-贵阳断裂带两侧沉积地层、岩浆建造、宏观构造、微观构造及流体包裹体测温的研究表明,该断裂带在早古生代以前就已存在,在中奥陶世的都匀运动期间表现为南南东向的正滑,在志留纪末泥盆纪初的广西运动期间表现为右行的剪切和局部的拉张;中晚二叠世的东吴运动使断裂带再次拉张,并伴有钾镁煌斑岩[锆石U-Pb法年龄（261．3±8）Ma]侵入;断裂带还经历了侏罗纪-早白垩世早燕山期右行压剪、晚白垩世-渐新世的晚燕山期强烈挤压、左行剪切和中新世至今喜山期的挤压等多期复合的演化历程。断裂带在古生代的多期活动直接控制了黔中隆起南缘的演化。     

石湖金矿区中石英的找矿信息研究

石英与金矿床关系十分密切,石英中含有众多的信息.通过对它的研究,可提取出许多找金矿的信息或标志.石英热发光曲线反映金的矿化强度,矿体中的石英热发光曲线呈双蜂或多峰;而矿化带中则呈包含多种隐伏峰的单蜂曲线.与成矿有关的石英红外吸光度D_2、D_2/D_1可定性地评价其含金性.含金石英中的Al_2O_3、K_2O、Na_2O、H_3O~(+)的含量随着矿体埋藏深度的增大而增加,可用其判别矿体的埋藏深度.     

松辽盆地徐深1井气藏气源的氢、碳同位素特征

选取松辽盆地内泥岩样品和煤样进行热模拟实验,建屯了两个样品成甲烷的氢、碳同位素分馏动力学模型并标定了动力学参数.分别以徐深1井区、沉降中心地质资料为例进行研究,表明两处源岩均有短期内大量生气的特点,气源岩生气期分别为距今95.5～73 Ma和距今0～73 Ma.计算得到两处源岩沙河子组暗色泥岩和煤、火石岭组暗色泥岩和煤所生天然气单独运聚成藏（自开始生烃到现今累积成藏）所对应的δ_DCH4 和δ¹³C₁,进而定量计算出徐深1井区源岩所生甲烷的δ_DCH4 为-237.3‰,δ¹³C₁为-28.8‰,沉降中心气源岩所生甲烷的δ_DCH4 为-2.5‰,δ¹³C₁为-24.8‰.以各区域天然气混合后的δ_DCH4 作为来源气体的端元同位素值,根据物质平衡原理计算得到：徐深1井区源岩对该区气藏的贡献比例约占72%,沉降中心源岩的贡献比例约为28%.同理以δ¹³C₁.方法得到徐深1井区源岩对该区气藏的贡献比例约占66%,沉降中心源岩的贡献比例约为34%.氢、碳同位素分馏的化学动力学地质应用结果存在的差异与同位素分馏模型标定所用热模拟实验为不加水实验有关.     

黑色岩系及相关矿产——以扬子地台为例

黑色岩系是指含有机碳及硫化物较多的深灰-黑色的硅质岩、碳酸盐岩、泥质岩及其变质岩石的组合体系,属于一种还原性岩石。黑色岩系中含铜、镍、锰、铀、磷、重晶石、铂族元素、铅-锌-银矿、油气等矿产,尤以铜、镍、钼、钒、钛最为典型,称为"五元素矿床"。近几年来,国内外关于黑色岩系中的非金属金属矿床的研究越来越多,黑色岩系的矿产经济意义也日益引起人们的重视。本文以扬子地台为例,研究震旦系-寒武系黑色岩系及其相关的矿产,为相似层位(如中晚泥盆统、石炭系、上二叠统、白垩系等)提供借鉴。通过对比云南晋宁梅树村震旦-寒武系界线的层型剖面与峡东地区震旦系剖面可以发现,两条剖面富磷层位具有可对比性,陡山沱组是扬子东部重要的含矿(磷)层位;而渔户村组是扬子西部最重要的含矿(磷)层位;过渡地段的贵州北部两个层位均重要;说明从陡山沱期到渔户村期,形成的磷矿活动中心逐渐从扬子东部向扬子西部迁移。     

Schmidt plate survey in the galactic centre direction. 1. Investigation of open clusters in the Sagittarius-Carina spiral arm

A study of four open clusters on Tautenburg Schmidt plates in the direction to the Galactic Centre (l = 17.0°, b = +0.8°) is presented. In a field of 8.95 square degrees proper motions and B, V magnitudes were determined for about 36 500 stars up to the limiting magnitudes B = 17^m.9, V = 16^m.8. For stars brighter than B = 16^m an accuracy of about 3 mas/year has been estimated for proper motions. The rms errors of stellar magnitudes and (B—V) colours is about 0.1 mag. There are two open clusters already known in this sky area: Trumpler 32 (C 1814-133) and NGC 6611 (C 1816-138). By the inspection of the plates two additional anonymous clusters were identified near the double star ADS 11285 or BD −14°5014 (C 1819-146) and near the star BD −14°5016 (C 1820-146). The cluster membership determination was carried out using information on spatial and proper motion distributions of stars in the field. The colour-magnitude diagrams up to the limiting stellar magnitude were constructed. For each cluster interstellar extinction A_V, diameters of the core and corona, ages and spatial velocity components (V, W) relative to the LSR in the Y, Z-galactic directions were derived. The distances to the clusters were obtained to 1720 pc, 2260 pc, 2130 pc and 2130 pc for Trumpler 32, NGC 6611, C 1819-146 and C 1820-146, respectively. All clusters are situated in the Sagittarius-Carina spiral arm. Their spatial location confirms the assumption that galactic spiral arms are close to logarithmic spirals with a characteristic angle of about 20 degrees.
