铬尖晶石以在风化过程中稳定性高,分布广等特征作为寻找金刚石的重要指示矿物已在找矿中取得了较满意的结果。根据普查找矿中的水系重砂样品所获取的大量铬尖晶石的分布特征、晶体形态、化学成分,以及辽宁已知金伯利岩中铬尖晶石的物理化学特征,将水系重砂中铬尖晶石与金伯利岩中铬尖晶石进行对比。研究表明,辽东北部、中部地区的铬尖晶石基本上不是来自有价值的金伯利岩,而南部地区的铬尖晶石许多是来自有价值的金伯利岩。     

自动气象站采集器通道及合成误差分析

数据采集器通道误差是自动气象站观测系统误差来源的重要组成部分,直接影响自动站各要素观测数据的准确性,其与温、湿、压、风等各气象要素传感器误差的合成构成了自动气象站误差。在稳定的实验室环境条件下,利用高精度测量仪表,通过对多台CAWS600型采集器进行精确测量,得到自动站采集器各气象要素通道误差的校准数据。对温、湿、压、风等要素的自动测量系统(传感器和采集器)误差分析结果表明,自动站误差等于传感器误差与采集器通道误差之和。此外,采集器各主要通道的误差存在一定的分布规律:有10台采集器气温通道误差≤0.1℃,主要分布在-0.1~0.1℃,所占比例为77%;有3台采集器通道误差0.15℃而≤0.20℃,所占比例为23%。在600-1090 h Pa量程内,气压通道误差主要分布在-0.10~0.10 h Pa;风向、湿度通道误差较小,误差值相近,方向较一致,风向通道误差≤1°,湿度通道误差≤1%。     

Hydrogeochemical and Stable Isotope Characteristics of the River Idrijca (Slovenia), the Boundary Watershed Between the Adriatic and Black Seas

The hydrogeochemical and isotope characteristics of the River Idrijca, Slovenia, where the world’s second largest mercury (Hg) mine is located, were investigated. The River Idrijca, a typical steep mountain river, has an HCO₃ ⁻–Ca²⁺–Mg²⁺ chemical composition. Its Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺ molar ratio indicates that dolomite weathering prevails in the watershed. The River Idrijca and its tributaries are oversaturated with respect to calcite and dolomite. The pCO₂ pressure is up to 13 times over atmospheric pressure and represents a source of CO₂ to the atmosphere. δ¹⁸O values in river water indicate primary control from precipitation and enrichment of the heavy oxygen isotope of infiltrating water recharging the River Idrijca from its slopes. The δ¹³C_DIC values range from −10.8 to −6.6‰ and are controlled by biogeochemical processes in terrestrial environments and in the stream: (1) exchange with atmospheric CO₂, (2) degradation of organic matter, (3) dissolution of carbonates, and (4) tributaries. The contributions of these inputs were calculated according to steady state equations and are estimated to be—11%:19%:30%:61% in the autumn and 0%:26%:39%:35% in the spring sampling seasons.     

Progression in sulfur isotopic compositions from coal to fly ash: Examples from single-source combustion in Indiana

Sulfur occurs in multiple mineral forms in coals, and its fate in coal combustion is still not well understood. The sulfur isotopic composition of coal from two coal mines in Indiana and fly ash from two power plants that use these coals were studied using geological and geochemical methods. The two coal beds are Middle Pennsylvanian in age; one seam is the low-sulfur (< 1%) Danville Coal Member of the Dugger Formation and the other is the high-sulfur (> 5%) Springfield Coal Member of the Petersburg Formation. Both seams have ash contents of approximately 11%. Fly-ash samples were collected at various points in the ash-collection system in the two plants. The results show notable difference in δ³⁴S for sulfur species within and between the low-sulfur and high-sulfur coal. The δ³⁴S values for all sulfur species are exclusively positive in the low-sulfur Danville coal, whereas the δ³⁴S values for sulfate, pyritic, and organic sulfur are both positive and negative in the high-sulfur Springfield coal. Each coal exhibits a distinct pattern of stratigraphic variation in sulfur isotopic composition. Overall, the δ³⁴S for sulfur species values increase up the section in the low-sulfur Danville coal, whereas they show a decrease up the vertical section in the high-sulfur Springfield coal. Based on the evolution of δ³⁴S for sulfur species, it is suggested that there was influence of seawater on peat swamp, with two marine incursions occurring during peat accumulation of the high-sulfur Springfield coal. Therefore, bacterial sulfate reduction played a key role in converting sulfate into hydrogen sulfide, sulfide minerals, and elemental sulfur. The differences in δ³⁴S between sulfate sulfur and pyritic sulfur is very small between individual benches of both coals, implying that some oxidation occurred during deposition or postdeposition.The δ³⁴S values for fly ash from the high-sulfur Springfield coal (averaging 9.7‰) are greatly enriched in ³⁴S relative to those in the parent coal (averaging 2.2‰). This indicates a fractionation of sulfur isotopes during high-sulfur coal combustion. By contrast, the δ³⁴S values for fly-ash samples from the low-sulfur Danville coal average 10.2‰, only slightly enriched in ³⁴S relative to those from the parent coal (average 7.5‰). The δ³⁴S values for bulk S determined directly from the fly-ash samples show close correspondence with the δ³⁴S values for SO₄^− 2 leached from the fly ash in the low-sulfur coal, suggesting that the transition from pyrite to sulfate occurred via high-temperature oxidation during coal combustion.     

麦哲伦海山富钴结壳的稀有气体丰度及He、Ar同位素组成

使用MM5400质谱计对麦哲伦海山富钴结壳和结壳基岩进行稀有气体同位素分析,以此示踪结壳形成期间的海洋环境。富钴结壳的He、Ne、Ar、Kr、Xe稀有气体同位素丰度模式与ASW(air-saturated water,饱和空气的海水)的变化趋势一致,说明结壳是在与海水交换平衡的流体环境中形成的。结壳的分馏因子F_3比饱和空气的海水的F_3高2～3个数量级,表明其相对于海水而言是富集~3He的。其相对于空气亏损~3He、富集Kr和Xe的模式与高度富集~3He、亏损Kr和Xe的星际尘粒的模式完全不同,暗示地球外物质并不是支配富钴结壳稀有气体同位素丰度模式的主要因素。结壳中高的R值甚至超过上地幔代表MORB(大洋中脊玄武岩)的典型值8R_a(R_a为地球大气中~3He/~4He比值,R为样品中~3He/~4He比值),揭示了热点型地幔热液对西太平洋海洋环境的局部贡献。圈层结壳的各结壳层之间的R值差异明显,各结壳层之间的尺值的变化趋势是"较高→最高→较高",结壳中层具有高达15.60R_a的R值,明显有深部地幔流体的加入,这进一步表明滋养结壳生长的热液环境本质上是源于地幔柱型的热点热液。玄武质基岩具有较低的R值,说明该类基岩在形成时严重混染有地壳物质,也说明结壳的物源并非来自玄武质基岩。结壳的~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar比值接近于饱和空气的海水值,也表明结壳的成矿流体与周围海水发生了充分的交换。

302铀矿床方解石C-O同位素组成与成矿动力学背景研究

302铀矿床规模大,垂幅深(达1000多米),是我国华南主要产铀花岗岩型铀矿床之一。研究表明该矿床的方解石是经大气降水与围岩发生水岩反应后的流体去气沉淀的;矿化剂∑CO2主要源自受控于岩石圈伸展导致的地幔去气,对铀成矿的作用一方面表现为加入到贫矿化剂的地下水中以便铀元素迁移,另一方面表现在从成矿流体中逸出,改变热液络离子组成,导致铀沉淀成矿;印支碰撞运动使华南地壳叠加增厚,部分熔融含铀结晶基底,为产铀岩体提供丰富的成矿物质来源;白垩纪-古近纪地壳拉张、岩石圈伸展所形成的深大断裂等不仅是矿化剂∑CO2主要通道,而且还是控制铀矿床形成的关键因素。     

Seawater-like trace element signatures (REE + Y) of Eoarchaean chemical sedimentary rocks from southern West Greenland,and their corruption during high-grade metamorphism

Modern chemical sediments display a distinctive rare earth element + yttrium (REE + Y) pattern involving depleted LREE, positive La/La*_SN, Eu/Eu*_SN, and Y_SN anomalies (SN = shale normalised) that is related to precipitation from circumneutral to high pH waters with solution complexation of the REEs dominated by carbonate ions. This is often interpreted as reflecting precipitation from surface waters (usually marine). The oldest broadly accepted chemical sediments are c. 3,700 Ma amphibolite facies banded iron-formation (BIF) units in the Isua supracrustal belt, Greenland. Isua BIFs, including the BIF international reference material IF-G are generally considered to be seawater precipitates, and display these REE + Y patterns (Bolhar et al. in Earth Planet Sci Lett 222:43–60, 2004). Greenland Eoarchaean BIF metamorphosed up to granulite facies from several localities in the vicinity of Akilia (island), display REE + Y patterns identical to Isua BIF, consistent with an origin by chemical sedimentation from seawater and a paucity of clastic input. Furthermore, the much-debated magnetite-bearing siliceous unit of “earliest life” rocks (sample G91/26) from Akilia has the same REE + Y pattern. This suggests that sample G91/26 is also a chemical sediment, contrary to previous assertions (Bolhar et al. in Earth Planet Sci Lett 222:43–60, 2004), and including suggestions that the Akilia unit containing G91/26 consists entirely of silica-penetrated, metasomatised, mafic rock (Fedo and Whitehouse 2002a). Integration of our trace element data with those of Bolhar et al. (Earth Planet Sci Lett 222:43–60, 2004) demonstrates that Eoarchaean siliceous rocks in Greenland, with ages from 3.6 to 3.85 Ga, have diverse trace element signatures. There are now geographically-dispersed, widespread examples with Isua BIF-like REE + Y signatures, that are interpreted as chemically unaltered, albeit metamorphosed, chemical sediments. Other samples retain remnants of LREE depletion but are beginning to lose the distinct La, Eu and Y positive anomalies and are interpreted as metasomatised chemical sediments. Finally there are some siliceous samples with completely different trace element patterns that are interpreted as rocks of non-sedimentary origin, and include metasomatised mafic rocks. The positive La/La*_SN, Eu/Eu*_SN and Y_SN anomalies found in Isua BIFs and other Eoarchaean Greenland samples, such as G91/26 from Akilia, suggests that the processes of carbonate ion complexation controlling the REE − Y patterns were already established in the hydrosphere at the start of the sedimentary record 3,600–3,850 Ma ago. This is in accord with the presence of Eoarchaean siderite-bearing marbles of sedimentary origin, and suggests that CO₂ may have been a significant greenhouse gas at that time.     

Quaternary sedimentology of the Rose Creek fan delta, Walker Lake, Nevada, USA, and implications to fan-delta facies models

The 3·2 km long Rose Creek fan delta of west‐central Nevada is prograding from an active rift margin into the 32 m deep Walker Lake. A case study of the forms, processes and facies of this fan delta reveals that the proximal and medial zones mainly are of sub‐aerial origin, and the distal zone is of lacustrine origin. Pebbly to bouldery rock‐avalanche mounds >100 m thick (Facies A) and muddy to bouldery debris flow levées 0·5 to 2·0 m thick (Facies B) dominate the proximal zone, whereas mostly matrix‐supported cobbly pebbly debris flow lobes 0·1 to 1·0 m thick (Facies C) typify the medial zone. Surficial pebble lags and gully fills (Facies D) are widespread in both zones but, in exposures, comprise only partings or lenticles between debris flow units. The distal fan delta mainly consists of lakeshore to lake‐bottom tracts formed by extensive wave reworking of debris flow facies. Nearshore deposits include erosional cobbly boulder lag beaches (Facies E), pebbly constructional beaches attached at headcuts or on barrier spits (Facies F), pebbly upper shoreface (Facies G) and sandy lower shoreface (Facies H) tracts positioned lakeward of the beach, and pebbly landward‐dipping foresets (Facies I) and backshore‐pond sand and mud (Facies J) present landward of the spits. Erosional lag beaches fringe the windward north side of the fan‐delta front, attached constructional beaches characterize the central zone, and southward‐elongating barrier spits typify the leeward south side, extending from the zone of greatest projection of the fan delta into the lake. Shoreline facies asymmetry results from largely unidirectional longshore drift caused by high fetch to the north and minimal fetch to the south, combined with the arcuate shape of the fan‐delta front. The spits overlie a platform deposited below common wave base consisting of south‐east‐trending cones of pebbly Gilbert foresets (Facies K) and sandy toesets (Facies L). Typically slumped silt and mud (Facies M) fringe both this platform and lower shoreface sand in deeper water. This case demonstrates facies types and patterns that are inconsistent with the widely promoted fan‐delta facies model having a front consisting of an apron of radially directed Gilbert foresets deposited where sub‐aerial flows enter the lake. The Rose Creek fan‐delta front instead features a sharp contact between sub‐aerial and lakeshore facies formed where waves erode, sort and redistribute heterogeneous debris flow sediment into the various shallow‐to‐deep lake facies. Gilbert foresets are present only in the lee of the fan delta where sediment moving by longshore drift reaches the brink of the spit front. This facies scenario results from the infrequency of fan‐building events versus nearly constant wind‐induced waves, a scenario that, in contrast to the popular Gilbert model, probably is the norm for fan deltas. The level of Walker Lake, and thus the position of wave reworking on the Rose Creek fan delta, fluctuated over a range of ～157 m during the last 18 kyr, producing complex interfingering between sub‐aerial and lakeshore facies across a 1700 m wide radial belt, typifying a wave‐modified, freestand lacustrine fan delta.     

地球化学组成揭示的杜蒙沙地化学风化和沉积再循环特征及其对风尘物质贡献的指示

对杜蒙沙地的河流冲积砂、河漫滩泥质粉砂、沙质古土壤和风成沙等不同类型沉积物进行了采样（27组）,对这些样品的细颗粒组分（<63 μm）进行了常量元素、微量元素、稀土元素（REE）和Sr-Nd同位素比值等地球化学分析,就杜蒙沙地的化学风化、沉积再循环特征及其对风尘物质的贡献等展开了讨论。结果显示,杜蒙沙地的地球化学组成表现出空间的均一性,低的化学蚀变指数CIA（48~56,平均52）及A-CN-K和A-CNK-FM图解均表明了杜蒙沙地仅遭受了低级的化学风化程度。沙地的成分成熟度较低,大部分河流沉积物表现出初次循环沉积特征,系大兴安岭东侧中酸性岩浆母岩风化剥蚀的产物经嫩江搬运堆积形成;古土壤表现出与河流沉积物相同的初次循环特征,表明古土壤的成土母质是河流沉积物,这与野外地层出露情况一致;风成沙表现出再循环沉积特征,系河流沉积物就地起沙搬运堆积形成。不活动元素比值、REE和Sr-Nd同位素比值等物源判别图解,结合植被和地貌状况,一致表明杜蒙沙地与东北平原中东部的风尘物质没有地球化学亲缘关系,其对该地区（甚至下风向更远地区）的大气风尘的贡献很小。
