川北下三叠统飞仙关组“槽台”沉积体系及演化

川北地区下三叠统飞仙关组沉积主要受开江梁平海槽控制,短期存在的海槽在其两侧形成了较为对称的类似于威尔逊相模式的碳酸盐岩沉积体系。通过详细的钻井、露头等岩石学资料的研究,认为飞仙关组主要发育蒸发台地、局限台地、开阔台地、台地边缘滩、斜坡和盆地相共六类沉积相。其盆地相较深海盆地相浅,主要发育深色泥灰岩和灰质泥岩;斜坡沉积特征明显,见浊流、碎屑流沉积,但陆棚相不发育,可能是海槽深度小、面积小引起的;随着海槽的关闭,海水变浅,海槽内部的沉积由盆地相向斜坡、台地边缘滩、开阔台地、局限台地、蒸发台地相演化特征明显;到飞四段顶部,整个川北地区均一化为局限台地相或蒸发台地相沉积。由于海槽存在时间短,沉积相在平面上和纵向上的演化过程十分清晰。随着海槽的关闭,海水向广海方向退却,台缘鲕滩也向海槽边界,即向广海方向发生了迁移,而且其发育层位逐渐变高。     

安徽省姑山铁矿床中赤铁矿微晶的聚合

安徽省姑山铁矿床的矿石产在中生代辉长闪长岩与以三叠纪页岩，粉砂岩和砂岩为主的围岩的接触带上，矿石成分主要是微晶赤铁矿，其粒径为０．０１－０．０５ｍｍ，并与玉髓和细粒石英相交生，粒径达１－２ｍｍ的赤铁矿斑晶呈板状自形晶浸染于块状矿石中，显微镜观察表明，赤铁矿自形斑晶是在成矿期后由赤铁矿微晶聚合而成的。整个聚合过程包括微晶颗粒的相互靠近，颗粒旋转，结晶方位的定向以及最终的焊结，从而形成光性均一的变斑晶     

贵州三都巴言鲕状赤铁矿构造热液成因的推断及意义

贵州三都县巴言一带石炭系下统祥摆组及断裂带中可见鲕状赤铁矿。区域成矿条件对比研究发现,祥摆组无沉积赤铁矿的条件;钻孔显示赤铁矿呈脉状赋存于祥摆组至上司组断裂带中,而祥摆组正常层位无赤铁矿;沿断裂带走向追索,赤铁矿化蚀变明显,远离断裂带,祥摆组岩性为黑色炭质泥岩夹石英砂岩,岩相条件不适宜赤铁矿沉积;矿体仅分布于断裂带附近地层及破碎带中,不符合沉积矿床的一般特征。排除通过风化作用充填的可能,结合矿体的展布特征及围岩蚀变特征,推断巴言赤铁矿为构造热液成因。对巴言构造热液成因的赤铁矿"鲕粒"特征研究发现,其与正常沉积的赤铁矿"鲕粒"具有相似的特征,这将为"鲕粒"成因的深入研究提供新的线索。     

显生宙罕见的巨鲕及其鲕粒形态多样性的意义:以湖北利川下三叠统大冶组为例

上扬子区早三叠世印度期的地层,从西向东由滨岸相砂泥岩(飞仙关组)到台地碳酸盐岩(大冶组),代表了一个二叠纪与三叠纪之交的大规模碳酸盐台地淹没事件之后、三叠纪早期缓坡型台地的生长发育过程。受制于三叠纪早期的两个海侵—海退旋回,早三叠世印度期大冶组中的鲕粒滩相灰岩经历了自西向东的进积作用。上述沉积作用过程的结果,在湖北利川的三叠系大冶组顶部发育厚层块状鲕粒滩相灰岩;该鲕粒灰岩,较大的粒径以及多样的宏观形态,成为一个窥视鲕粒成因的典型地点。这些主要由碳酸盐泥晶粘聚而成的粒径多超过2 mm的鲕粒,包括同心鲕粒、椭圆鲕粒、复合鲕粒、不规则鲕粒、核心不太清楚的鲕粒等多种类型。这些粒径超过2 mm的巨鲕,不但代表了显生宙较为罕见的沉积学现象,而且有可能代表了二叠纪末期生物大灭绝之后荒凉海底环境的沉积响应,为进一步了解成因还未完全明了的鲕粒所代表的碳酸盐世界提供了一个有意义的实例。     

The Nigerian manganese-rich iron-formations and their host rocks—from sedimentation to metamorphism

This investigation deals with the Nigerian iron-formations and their host rocks and is based on about 560 mineral analyses (electron-microprobe) and 93 whole-rock analyses (64 iron-formations and 29 host rocks). The manganese-rich and Al-bearing iron-formations occurring in various schist belts of the northern and southern part of West-Nigeria consist of the magnetite-free silicate, the magnetite–silicate and the quartz-rich hematite facies.Iron-formations and host rocks originated from submarine-volcanogenic exhalations enriched in Fe, Mn and CO₂ and from Al₂O₃, SiO₂ and alkali (K₂O and Na₂O)-rich continental-derived pelitic to psammitic material. From these sources and their interaction and controlled by the volcanogenic activity, differently composed protoliths were deposited in the marine basin during the Birimian time. Subsequent metamorphism of greenschist to low amphibolite facies conditions during the Eburnian time led to the formation of the metaprotoliths of the magnetite–silicate (consisting of predominantly magnetite and quartz and subordinate of garnet and amphibole), the silicate facies (consisting of garnet, amphibole and rarely Mn-bearing ilmenite and quartz) and the metasediment phyllite. Garnets are predominantly almandine–spessartine solid solutions, whereas amphiboles are Mn and Ca-bearing grunerite–cummingtonite solid solutions. In the course of a second tectono-metamorphic event of Pan-African age, the magnetite–silicate facies iron-formation/phyllite association was transformed into the hematite facies and muscovite/biotite schists, whereas the silicate facies is characterized by extensive silicification features. The hematite facies and the silicified silicate facies are restricted to southern Nigeria where the second and heterogeneous tectono-metamorphic event is more pronounced (amphibolite facies conditions) than in northern Nigeria.The genesis, summarized as the metamorphic model, shows that the carbonate-rich (siderite, rhodochrosite and subordinate magnesite and calcite) protoliths were metamorphically transformed into the silicate and magnetite–silicate facies. The separation of Mn and Fe, leading to manganese-bearing iron-formations and iron-bearing manganese-formations was explained by varying pH-conditions, under which siderite (pH: 6.8–9.4) and rhodochrosite (pH: 9–11) precipitated.Similar to the Gunfit and Biwabik iron-formations of Minnesota, USA, the iron-formation of Bingi (Maru schist belt), now present in the form of the fayalite bearing silicate facies, was overprinted by contact metamorphism caused by a gabbro intrusion.     

Transformation of magnetite to hematite and its influence on the dissolution of iron oxide minerals

Deformed rocks of the Itabira Iron Formation (itabirites) in Brazil show microstructural evidence of pressure solution of quartz and iron oxides; it appears that magnetite was dissolved and hematite precipitated. The dissolution of magnetite seems to be related to its transformation to hematite by oxidation of Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺. The transformation of magnetite to hematite occurs along {111} planes, and results in the development of hematite domains along {111} that are parallel to the foliation. The difference in volume created by the transformation of magnetite to hematite and the shear stress acting on the interphase boundaries allow fluids to migrate along these planes. The dissolution of magnetite involves the hydrolyzation of the Fe²⁺—O bonds at interphase boundaries of high normal stress. The high fugacity of oxygen in the fluid phase promotes the reaction of Fe²⁺ (in solution) with oxygen. Fe²⁺ ions oxidize to Fe³⁺ and precipitate as hematite platelets with their longest axes oriented parallel to the direction of maximum stretching. The transformation of magnetite to hematite during deformation plays an important role in the fabric evolution of the iron formation rocks. The transformation along {111} creates planes of weakness that facilitate fracturing. The fracturing plus the dissolution result in a reduction of magnetite grain size, and the oriented precipitation results in layers of hematite platelets. These processes produce a new fabric characterized by a penetrative foliation and lineation.     

川北地区飞仙关组储层特征及其主控因素

采用宏观和微观相结合的方法,对川北地区飞仙关组鲕粒滩储层的研究表明,其储集岩类型主要有鲕粒白云岩和鲕粒灰岩,储集空间以次生孔隙为主,储集物性较差,多为低孔、低渗的裂缝-孔隙型和孔隙-裂缝型储层。研究区飞仙关组储层是海平面下降形成的一套产物,储层的发育及演化受到沉积作用和成岩作用的共同控制。二叠纪长兴组生物礁古地貌高地和龙门山岛链的形成,为飞仙关组的沉积提供了高能沉积环境,而相对海平面的下降促进了高能滩体的形成,位于台地边缘的高能鲕粒滩体是储层发育的有利部位;混合水白云化作用和埋藏溶解作用为次生孔隙的形成提供了有利条件,改善了储层的储集性能。     

应用同步辐射技术解析黄色-红色石英质玉石中的致色矿物

质地细腻、颜色多彩的隐晶质-微粒脉石英在我国珠宝行业称为石英质玉石,颜色是石英质玉石价值判断的主要因素之一,揭示其致色矿物及致色机理对于研究石英质玉石的颜色评价指标和矿床成因具有重要意义,但前人并未直接获得致色矿物的准确信息。本文运用上海光源(SSRF)BL15U1线站的同步辐射硬X射线,使用μ-XRF和μ-XRD技术对黄色和红色隐晶质-微粒脉石英中的致色矿物进行了研究。结果表明,黄色石英质玉石由赋存于石英颗粒间或微裂纹中的针铁矿(特征衍射峰0.49574、0.41594、0.26887、0.25705、0.25189、0.24510、0.21806、0.17133 nm)或其集合体致色,红色石英质玉石由赋存于石英颗粒间或微裂纹中的赤铁矿(特征衍射峰0.36774、0.27091、0.25200 nm)或其集合体致色,黄色-红色石英质玉的颜色由针铁矿和赤铁矿共同致色,赤铁矿的显色能力要高于针铁矿。本文获得了石英质玉石中致色矿物的直接数据,为玉石结晶温度与致色机理的探讨、石英质玉石的品质评价提供了依据。     

新疆西天山式可布台铁矿地质、矿物化学和S同位素特征及其对矿床成因的约束

新疆西天山式可布台铁矿发育于伊犁裂谷内,赋存于上石炭统中酸性火山碎屑岩、浅变质片岩、千枚岩中,矿体呈层状、似层状以及透镜状顺层产出。金属矿物以赤铁矿、镜铁矿为主,含少量黄铁矿、菱铁矿;脉石矿物主要为碧玉、重晶石、石英以及少量方解石。矿石构造以条带状、纹层状和块状为主,矿物结构多为隐晶质结构、半自形结构以及充填结构。矿床分为4个成矿阶段,即黄铁矿-赤铁矿-铁碧玉-重晶石阶段、菱铁矿-软锰矿阶段、石英-镜铁矿阶段、氧化物阶段。矿体顺层产出和发育纹层状矿石构造指示矿床为沉积成因。电子探针分析显示:(1)块状赤铁矿Al2O3、Na2O、MgO、SiO2含量相对分散,推测这可能与块状矿石快速沉淀结晶有关,暗示了剧烈的流体喷流活动,而纹层状和条带状赤铁矿Al2O3、Na2O、MgO、Si O2含量相对集中则反映平静的沉积环境以及微弱的喷流活动,两者的比较可能暗示了成矿过程中流体喷溢速率以及沉积环境都不断改变;(2)黄铁矿中含有较高的Co、Ni比,显示其形成与火山作用关系密切;(3)菱铁矿的FeOT与Mn O+MgO含量呈负相关关系,并形成两个聚集区,与镜下其具有不同特征相吻合,可能暗示了成矿后期菱铁矿随热液析出时候发生了分异作用。黄铁矿(δ34S=-6.1‰~6.5‰)和重晶石(δ34S=12.9‰)硫同位素组成显示曾发生过硫酸盐和硫化物之间的硫同位素分馏作用,成矿热液的硫可能来源于岩浆硫。综合分析认为,式可布台铁矿可能为海相火山喷流沉积型铁矿床。     

深埋藏条件下鲕粒灰岩的热水交代实验研究

在相对静岩压力40 MPa、地温150℃(大体相当于4 000 m深埋条件)、用时15 d的条件下,对灰色中厚层状鲕粒灰岩进行深埋藏热水交代白云化实验研究。结果表明:反应前后岩石的结构发生了轻微变化,尾液中的主要化学成分Ca2+浓度从0 mg/L增加到337 mg/L,Mg2+浓度从过饱和溶液降低到2 830 mg/L。电子探针分析结果表明,固体样CaO含量由61.000%降为60.830%,而MgO则由0.296%升到0.350%。可见,参与实验的固、液样品反应前后主量元素Ca、Mg有一定的变化。但根据样品的宏观观察、镜下鉴定、扫描电镜及X衍射图谱的综合对比,认为在该实验条件下,尚未产生明显的白云化现象。
