冀北两种类型钼矿床地质特征与控矿因素差异性分析

冀北(张家口—承德)目前已发现的钼矿床可分为两种类型, 一是主要分布于冀北南部燕山裂陷带中, 钼矿化发生时间与矿区酸性岩体侵位时间接近或相当, 金属矿物以辉钼矿为主, 围岩蚀变主要为钾化、硅化, 成矿流体以高温、高盐度为特征; 另一类主要分布于华北地台北缘隆起带内中生代火山断陷盆地中, 金属矿物以低温胶硫钼矿物为主, 多与铀矿共生, 围岩蚀变以水云母化、萤石化、胶黄铁矿化为主, 成矿流体显示低温、低盐度特征。以胶硫钼为主的铀钼矿床由于缺少合适的钼矿化定年矿物, 目前年龄测试数据多限于铀矿化, 测试结果表明铀矿化与区内酸性岩体及赋矿地层之间存在显著的岩矿时差。在冀北及邻区已有地质资料基础上, 本文对冀北上述两种类型钼矿床存在的地质问题及研究现状进行了评述, 指出分布于中生代火山断陷盆地中钼矿化成矿时代厘定问题是分析该类型铀钼矿床成矿作用过程、确定成因类型、评价深部找矿潜力的关键。     

上黑龙江盆地前哨林场黑云母二长花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及地质意义

上黑龙江盆地前哨林场位于兴蒙造山带东段额尔古纳微地块北缘, 北与西伯利亚古陆以蒙古—鄂霍次克缝合带相隔, 东以塔源—喜桂图断裂与兴安地块相邻。本文通过对上黑龙江盆地前哨林场黑云母二长花岗岩进行锆石U-Pb年龄、主微量及同位素地球化学系统研究, 为探讨早古生代额尔古纳微地块与相邻地块的碰撞机制提供理论依据。利用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素测定技术, 获得研究区黑云母二长花岗岩结晶年龄为(458.4±2.4) Ma(MSWD=0.022), 确定了岩体形成时代为早古生代中—晚奥陶纪。岩石中锆石Hf同位素?Hf(t)值介于–4.64 ~ 1.84, 其测点大部分位于球粒陨石演化线之下, 两阶段模式年龄(tDM2)介于 715 ~ 1 126 Ma。地球化学显示岩石具有富硅、富铝、富碱等特征; 稀土配分曲线表现出轻稀土(LREE)相对富集, 重稀土(HREE)相对亏损的右倾特征, 且岩石相对富集大离子亲石元素Rb、K及高场强元素Th、U、Zr、Hf, 相对亏损大离子亲石元素Ba、Sr及高场强元素Nb、Ta、P、Ti。岩石成因类型判别图显示前哨林场黑云母二长花岗岩具A型花岗岩特征, 岩石Hf同位素及微量元素特征显示岩体岩浆来源于中—新元古代古老地壳的熔融, 且存在少许幔源物质及新增生地壳物质熔融的参与, 元素特征暗示岩石形成于额尔古纳地块与西伯利亚古陆碰撞后的伸展构造环境背景下。结合前人对额尔古纳地块早古生代花岗岩形成背景的研究, 认为额尔古纳地块北缘及东北缘早古生代花岗岩形成机制不同, 前者形成于额尔古纳地块与西伯利亚古陆及蒙古—图瓦地块碰撞、拼接后伸展背景下; 后者主要形成于额尔古纳与兴安地块碰撞伸展背景下。     

大兴安岭南段朝克乌拉地区晚侏罗—早白垩世辉长岩年代学和地球化学研究

基于内蒙古朝克乌拉地区开展的1∶5万区域地质调查工作,发现一期以辉长岩为主的基性岩浆活动。研究表明：朝克乌拉地区辉长岩锆石U- Pb年龄为142.6±0.5 Ma、145.1±2.1 Ma,显示岩石为晚侏罗—早白垩世产物。辉长岩为拉斑系列岩石,具有低硅、低钛、贫碱且高钠低钾特点,分异作用极弱,Eu异常不明显,微量元素Ba、Ta、Sr、Hf富集, Rb、Th、Nb、P亏损。辉长岩岩石地球化学显示其岩浆源区为亏损尖晶石二辉橄榄岩地幔发生30%以上的部分熔融形成,存在流体影响的地球化学特征。岩浆在演化过程中存在一定程度的分离结晶作用,地壳混染作用极其微弱。通过与贺根山蛇绿岩配套岩系的类比,结合研究区古生代至中生代构造背景和贺根山缝合带壳幔电性结构全面分析,推断晚侏罗—早白垩世辉长岩具有的岛弧印记特征为贺根山洋发育时期古岛弧环境的反映,辉长岩只是伸展背景下幔源岩浆沿深大断裂上涌作用的产物。     

琼东南盆地井震地层对比分析及区域地层格架的建立

琼东南盆地历经断陷、断坳、裂后热沉降和裂后加速沉降等一系列的构造变动,沉积环境由始新世的滨海环境发展为现今的深水环境,形成了一套包括滨岸沉积、滨浅海沉积、陆架和陆坡沉积、以及半深海沉积的地层组合,具有良好的油气资源的生储盖条件,已成为当前油气资源勘探开发的重点区域。本文首先对盆地区域内钻井和地震剖面进行了主要地层界面(T20、T30、T40、T50、T60和T70)的识别和提取(点),继而结合连井地震剖面(线)和盆地区域过井地震剖面(面)对主要地层界面做了追踪对比分析,再依据古生物年代,建立了适用于琼东南盆地的区域地层年代格架。在琼东南盆地浅水区主要沉积了新近系地层(T60-T20),断裂基本不发育,地层厚度变化不大,极少有明显的上超和削截,局部地区发育有利于油气储集的三角洲沉积体系,表明琼东南盆地新近纪时期受构造作用影响较小。在深水区,新近系地层(T60-T20)和浅水区特征相似,仅反射特征有所不同;古近系地层(T100-T60)内部层序结构主要为楔状或近平行状,具有明显的上超和削截,地层厚度较大,断裂明显并导致地层错断,表明琼东南盆地深水区在古近纪时期主要受构造作用控制,并伴随着强烈的拉张和快速沉降作用,沉积环境主要为浅海。在近东西向的中央峡谷内存在有三期砂体:第一期砂体(井深3 528~3 336m,厚约192m)形成于距今11.6~5.5Ma(T40-T30),分布范围跨越中央峡谷的陵水-松南-宝岛段,沉积物构成包括浊积水道沉积、浊积席状砂、块体流沉积、深海泥质沉积、天然堤及漫溢沉积等;第二期砂体(井深4 100~3 900m,厚约200m)形成于距今5.5~4.2Ma(T30-T29),分布范围跨越中央峡谷的乐东-陵水段,以重力流沉积为主;第三期砂体(深度3 630~3 400m,厚约230m)发育于距今4.2~3.6Ma(T29-T28),分布于峡谷的乐东-莺东段,以浊积水道沉积为主。三期砂体在琼东南盆地中央坳陷带自东向西、由老到新依次展布,构成了良好的油气储层体。     

Estimating time-based instantaneous total mortality rate based on the age-structured abundance index

The instantaneous total mortality rate(Z) of a fish population is one of the important parameters in fisheries stock assessment. The estimation of Z is crucial to fish population dynamics analysis,abundance and catch forecast,and fisheries management. A catch curve-based method for estimating time-based Z and its change trend from catch per unit effort(CPUE) data of multiple cohorts is developed. Unlike the traditional catch-curve method,the method developed here does not need the assumption of constant Z throughout the time,but the Z values in n continuous years are assumed constant,and then the Z values in different n continuous years are estimated using the age-based CPUE data within these years. The results of the simulation analyses show that the trends of the estimated time-based Z are consistent with the trends of the true Z,and the estimated rates of change from this approach are close to the true change rates(the relative differences between the change rates of the estimated Z and the true Z are smaller than 10%). Variations of both Z and recruitment can affect the estimates of Z value and the trend of Z. The most appropriate value of n can be different given the effects of different factors. Therefore,the appropriate value of n for different fisheries should be determined through a simulation analysis as we demonstrated in this study. Further analyses suggested that selectivity and age estimation are also two factors that can affect the estimated Z values if there is error in either of them,but the estimated change rates of Z are still close to the true change rates. We also applied this approach to the Atlantic cod(G adus morhua) fishery of eastern Newfoundland and Labrador from 1983 to 1997,and obtained reasonable estimates of time-based Z.     

Low-rhenium molybdenite by metamorphism in northern Sweden: Recognition, genesis, and global implications

Re–Os dating of molybdenite is an accurate means to date intrusions and intrusion-related ore deposits using the model age or isochron approach. But, molybdenite has a new niche in the greenschist- to granulite-facies metamorphic environment. Re–Os ages for metamorphic molybdenite may be used to construct regional metamorphic histories. Age significance and accuracy are established by analyzing multiple molybdenite separates extracted from single, petrographically-characterized molybdenite occurrences. In this study, twelve geologically distinct molybdenite-bearing samples from two small Mo districts in northern Sweden trace a 150 m.y. Paleoproterozoic Svecofennian metamorphic history from 1900 to 1750 Ma. These data reveal a little-known, widespread and protracted, Late Svecofennian anatexis in northern Sweden.The Kåtaberget Mo–(Cu, F) deposit is located in the Moskosel granite batholith north of the economically-renown Skellefte district. Four different molybdenite samples from outcrop at Kåtaberget indicate an intrusion age of 1895 ± 6 Ma with the formation of later pegmatite–aplite at 1875 ± 6 Ma. The Allebuoda (Björntjärn) and Munka Mo–(W) deposits in the Rappen district are represented by three outcrop and five drill core samples of molybdenite-bearing aplite–pegmatite–granite. These two deposits were previously described as intrusion-related Climax-type Mo mineralization. Re–Os ages for molybdenites from these deposits range from 1865 to 1750 Ma and, significantly, Re concentrations are markedly low, extending to the sub-ppm level. Age agreement within the deposits is conspicuously lacking, whereas, with one exception, age agreement within any single sample (geologic occurrence), as established by analysis of additional molybdenite separates, is very good. These data, together with fundamental geologic observations discussed in this paper, suggest that Mo–(W) mineralization in northern Sweden is not intrusion-related, but the local product of episodic melting of Archean–Paleoproterozoic supracrustal gneisses related to the Svecofennian orogeny. Petrographic traverses across the boundary between widespread, foliation-parallel units of aplitic to pegmatitic pink granite and hosting biotite gneiss directly capture the process of ore formation. Dehydration breakdown of zircon-rich biotite aligned with the foliation in the gneiss is accompanied by formation of new pristine, post-deformational biotite plus sulfides, oxides, hydrothermal zircon and fluorite, all associated with microcline-dominant leucosomes.This process has profound implication for the traditional leucogranite, intrusion-related genesis attributed to the broad classification of Mo–W–Sn–base and precious metal mineralization (e.g., South Mountain Batholith, Nova Scotia; Okiep, Namaqualand, South Africa; Mactung, Yukon; Pogo–Liese, Tintina, Alaska; Carajás and Goiás–Rio Tocantins, Brazil; New England Batholith, NSW, Australia; Bergslagen, Sweden; Nevoria, Western Australia; Alpeinerscharte, Austria; Erzgebirge, Germany; Sardinia–Corsica Batholith). In addition to biotite, metallogenic contributions (e.g., Mo, W, Sn, U, Bi, Cu, Pb, Zn, Fe, Ni, Co, Au, Ag, Te, As, Sb, REE) in various combinations may also be controlled by breakdown of amphibole. In effect, the trace element composition of dehydrating or recrystallizing components in a gneissic rock essentially defines the local and district metallogenic suite. In the absence of focusing structures (e.g., shear zones, sheeted vein development), this process will generally form small and disconnected subeconomic deposits with erratic and unpredictable grades. Low Re content in associated molybdenite is a key indicator for a subeconomic origin by local melting of biotite gneiss (Mo–W) or muscovite schist (Sn–W).     

Paleomagnetism of the middle Cretaceous Iritono granite in the Abukuma region, northeast Japan

We have studied the paleomagnetism of the middle Cretaceous Iritono granite of the Abukuma massif in northeast Japan together with ⁴⁰Ar–³⁹Ar dating. Paleomagnetic samples were collected from ten sites of the Iritono granite (102 Ma ⁴⁰Ar–³⁹Ar age) and two sites of its associated gabbroic dikes. The samples were carefully subjected to alternating field and thermal demagnetizations and to rock magnetic analyses. Most of natural remanent magnetizations show mixtures of two components: (1) H component, high coercivity (B_c > 50–90 mT) or high blocking temperature (T_b > 350–560 °C) component and (2) L component, relatively low B_c or low T_b component. H component was obtained from all the 12 sites to give a mean direction of shallow inclination and northwesterly declination (I = 29.9°, D = 311.0°, α₉₅ = 2.7°, N = 12). This direction is different from the geocentric axial dipole field at the present latitude (I = 56.5°) and the typical direction of the Cenozoic remagnetization in northeast Japan. Since rock magnetic properties indicate that the H component of the Iritono granite is carried mainly by magnetite inclusions in plagioclase, this component probably retains a primary one. Thus the shallow inclination indicates that the Abukuma massif was located at a low latitude (16.1 ± 1.6°N) about 100 Ma and then drifted northward by about 20° in latitude. The northwesterly deflection is attributed mostly to the counterclockwise rotation of northeast Japan due to Miocene opening of the Japan Sea. According to this model, the low-pressure and high-temperature (low-P/high-T) metamorphism of the Abukuma massif, which has been well known as a typical location, would have not occurred in the present location. On the other hand, the L component is carried mainly by pyrrhotite and its mean direction shows a moderate inclination and a northwesterly declination (I = 42.8°, D = 311.5°, α₉₅ = 3.3°, N = 9). Since this direction is intermediate between the H component and early Cenozoic remagnetization in northeast Japan, some thermal event would have occurred at lower temperature than pyrrhotite Curie point ( 320 °C) during the middle Cretaceous to early Cenozoic time to have resulted in partial remagnetization.

Life Geography from the Child's Point of View

Abstract

A second look is taken at “The Geography of the U.S. in the Year 2,000.” A new interplay is seen of the countervailing pressures to disperse and to agglomerate. Polynucleated urban regions are seen, organized within and around a global poly center. There are certain imperatives: those of demographic cycles and of the economic long wave. These will interact with information-age technologies to change family structures, life styles, and locational preferences. The unexpected also should be expected: “catastrophes” in which existing arrangements are transformed and new structures put into place to replace them. A key to understanding is to continually probe the second derivatives: change in the nature of change.
