Early Paleozoic subduction of the Paleo-Asian Ocean: Geochronological and geochemical evidence from the Dashizhai basalts,Inner Mongolia

Zircon U-Pb results of basalt from the Dashizhai Town in Inner Mongolia, NE China, shows that the basaltic lava was erupted at 439±3 Ma, much older than the “Permian basalts” as previously thought. These rocks show arc-type trace element patterns (i.e., Nb-Ta depletion and light REE and large ion lithophile element enrichment) and unradiogenic Sr and highly radiogenic Nd and Hf isotope compositions. They can be subdivided into two petrogenetic groups: Group 1 basalts have relatively high TiO₂, MgO and compatible elements and low Sr and Th, characterized by mid-oceanic ridge basalt (MORB)-type Sr-Nd-Hf isotope compositions (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr(i)=0.7028−0.7032, ε_Nd(t)=+9.8−+11.2, ε_Hf(t)=+16.1−+18.4). Group 2 has lower TiO₂, MgO and compatible elements and higher Sr and Th, and relatively evolved Sr-Nd-Hf isotope compositions (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr(i)=0.7037−0.7038, ε_Nd(t)=+5.7−+7.3, ε_Hf(t)=+12.6−+13.0). Both groups were interpreted as melts derived from a metasomatized mantle wedge formed during the subduction of Paleo-Asian Ocean. The mantle source for Group 1 was probably a highly isotopically depleted oceanic mantle modified by predominant slab fluids; whereas subducted sediments had an important contribution to the melting source for Group 2. The petrogenesis of the Dashizhai basalts provides clear evidence for early Paleozoic subduction of the Paleo-Asian Ocean, and the highly radiogenic Nd and Hf compositions in these rocks suggest that these lavas and their possible intrusive counterparts were one of the important components for Phanerozoic crustal growth. Our and previous studies on the “Dashizhai Formation” volcanic rocks yield an unrealistic eruption range of 440-270 Ma for different rock types, we thus advise to disassemble the previously defined “Dashizhai Formation” into multiple lithologic units and to reinterpret the spatial and temporal distributions of different volcano-sedimentary associations.

延边地区青龙村群斜长角闪岩中锆石U-Pb同位素年龄及地质意义

青龙村群岩石类型主要为片岩类、斜长角闪岩类、粗细粒片麻岩类和大理岩夹层。岩石地球化学特征表明,青龙村群的原岩属于钙碱性安山岩-流纹岩组合,这套组合是岛弧区玄武质岩浆分异的产物,推测它是一个较宽阔的大陆边缘拼贴缝合带中的一个岛弧地体。LA-ICP-MS颗粒锆石U-Pb法同位素年龄测定表明,青龙村群斜长角闪岩中锆石年龄为(274±6) Ma,梨树沟花岗岩体中的锆石年龄为(187±3) Ma,这一事实说明青龙村群的变质作用时代为二叠纪末期,代表华北板块北缘的碰撞造山事件。而周边大面积花岗岩的侵位时间为燕山早期,属青龙村群碰撞造山后伸展事件产物。     

辽西地区晚侏罗世张家口组及其地质意义

辽宁省西部地区张家口组是在近几年来1:5万、1:25万区域地质调查的基础上发现和建立的,主要分布于金岭寺-羊山盆地的东缘、北票盆地西缘、四家子-铁营子盆地及凌源三十家子盆地东缘,呈北东向沿断裂带分布.岩性为一套偏酸、偏碱性的火山岩,以爆发相的火山角砾岩、集块岩及凝灰岩为主,呈角度不整合覆于晚侏罗世土城子组之上,其上被早白垩世义县组角度不整合覆盖.形成于挤压造山与伸展构造的过渡环境,是古亚洲构造域压性体制与滨太平洋活动带张性体制构造转换阶段的产物.地层时代为晚侏罗世.     

毛乌素沙漠边缘地区春末夏初沙尘暴天气的物理量场结构

沙尘暴天气是毛乌素沙漠边缘内蒙古、甘肃、宁夏、陕西等地区春末夏初特有的一种灾害性天气。应用欧洲中心再分析资料的气压场和各种物理量场,选取了5个沙尘暴个例,分析了沙尘暴时期各层气压场的特征和物理量的空间结构。结果表明：蒙古高压是影响沙尘暴的主要天气系统。在沙尘暴发生时,蒙古高压前部整层都为宽广而强劲的西北气流,从地面可伸展到200 hPa附近,其物理属性是干、冷,其前部近乎于东北—西南向的区域,是锋区的密集带,也是各种物理量表现最为敏感的区域,垂直速度场为上升运动区,涡度场为正涡度区,高—低层散度差值场为正值,这些物理量都为沙尘暴的发生起到了推动和加强作用。     

CCD‐Δa and BV R photometry of NGC 7296

The first CCD photometric investigation of the open cluster NGC 7296 up to now was performed within the narrow band Δa photometric system, which enables us to detect peculiar objects. A deeper investigation of that cluster followed, using the standard BV R ‐Bessel filter set. The age and E (B – V ) was determined independently to log t = 8.0 ± 0.1 and 0.15 ± 0.02, respectively by using Δa and broadband photometry. In total five Be/Ae objects and two metal‐weak stars showing significant negative Δa ‐values as well as one classical chemically peculiar star could be identified within that intermediate age open cluster.

中国陆相侏罗、白垩系划分对比述评

对我国东北、西南和东南沿海地区目前常用的陆相侏罗、白垩系的划分、对比方案的精度及其与海相标准分阶的对比证据进行了扼要分析和述评 ,指出东北地区陆相白垩系序列可以划分出 13个组 ,其精度已赶上了海相白垩系 12个阶的标准 ,而且许多组已找到了将海陆相地层进行对比的联系化石分子 ,亦具备了陆相地层建阶的条件。同时认为我国中生代陆相地层划分对比表中以往很少表现出地层缺失 ,大多数地区似乎从下向上都存在一个完整的沉积序列 ,这是与陆相地层形成的实际不相符的 ,今后要进一步做工作。

准噶尔盆地阜东斜坡区侏罗系层序地层学研究

通过地震、钻测井及生物地层资料的综合研究,认为准噶尔盆地阜东斜坡区侏罗系发育6套层序、两个构造层序。层序及沉积相空间分布的差异反映八道湾期至西山窑期以北部物源为主,下部构造层序揭示了北部抬升、南部均衡沉降的构造格局,头屯河期至喀拉扎期以南部物源为主,上部构造层序反映南部抬升、湖盆急剧收缩的构造格局。研究区主要发育冲积扇－辫状河三角洲－湖泊沉积体系,其次为曲流河－三角洲－湖泊沉积体系。早中侏罗世,本区以暖温带潮湿气候为主,但在三工河早期及头屯河中期有两次气候变干变热过程,晚侏罗世为亚热带干旱、半干旱气候,晚期的干旱气候还是导致湖盆急剧萎缩的重要因素。

Reanalysis data from NCEP/NCAR are used to systematically study preceding signals of monthly precipitation anomalies in the early raining season of Guangdong province, from the viewpoints of 500-hPa geopotential height field, outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) field, sea surface temperature (SST) and fourteen indexes of general circulation depicting atmosphere activity at high, middle and low latitutes. Being multiple tools of information, a number of conceptual models are formulated that are useful for prediction of the magnitude of monthly precipitation (drought, flood and normal conditionss).
