风化成壤对原始粉尘粒度组成的改造证据

对现代粉尘、黄土、古土壤、红粘土全样和对应石英样的粒度分析结果表明,现代粉尘和对应石英样的粒度组成最为相似,而其它经历了风化成壤改造后的全样,粒度组成发生了不同程度的变化,其中以古土壤和红粘土样尤为显著。全样和石英样品的平均粒径比值变化,反映了原始粉尘经风化成壤改造而细化的程度,可能与夏季风强度关系密切。灵台剖面L₆以来的黄土—古土壤序列的磁化率、全样和石英样平均粒径及其比值变化对比表明,在冰期-间冰期旋回时间尺度上,全样和石英样平均粒径记录的冬季风变化特征类似,但在千年时间尺度上,平均粒径比值和石英样的平均粒径变化则揭示出东亚季风具有更高频次的变率特征。     

A biogeochemical orientation survey in the Moisan gold-mineralized area, Haenam district in Korea

A biogeochemical orientation survey was carried out in the vicinity of an epithermal Au deposit in the Moisan Au–Ag mineralized area, Haenam district in Korea. The Au–Ag bearing quartz veins of the mine occur as narrow open-space fillings within Cretaceous silicic pyroclastics. The vein minerals consist mainly of quartz, sericite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and galena, with some electrum and argentite. The main objectives of this study were to study the geochemical characteristics of rocks, soils and plants in this area, to investigate the spatial relationship between Au and associated elements in rock–soil–plant system, and to evaluate the applicability of biogeochemical prospecting for Au vein occurrences in Korea. Samples of rocks and soils, and leaves of three plant species (Japanese red pine — P. densiflora, oriental white oak — Q. aliena, Japanese mallotus — M. japonicus) were collected from the target mineralized area and control barren locations, and analyzed for trace elements by instrumental neutron activation analysis. Sampling lines were composed of one slope line which is almost parallel to the mineralized quartz-veins, and four transect lines spaced 100 m apart across the veins at 20 m sampling intervals. From the multi-element data of rock samples (n = 9), high values of Au (maximum 2030 ppb) are spatially related to Au–quartz veins. Soil samples (n = 61) collected from five sampling lines show higher values of Au (24–825 ppb) whereas soil samples from the control locations have lower values of Au (below 25 ppb). Many plant species collected from the vicinity of the veins have high Au contents compared with those at the control locations, but the ranges of Au values are variable among plant species. In a total of 128 samples of plant leaves, Q. aliena yielded Au values of 0.4 to 6.9 ppb, and M. japonicus 0.9 to 4.1 ppb. Gold contents in P. densiflora ranged from 0.1 to 5.6 ppb. Plant leaves from control areas show less than 1.6 ppb Au. The biological absorption coefficient (BAC) of Au in plants decreases in the order of Q. aliena > M. japonicus > P. densiflora. Based on the results of the study, Q. aliena appeared to be the best sampling media for biogeochemical prospecting of Au in the study area.     

He–Ar Isotope Composition of Pyrite and Wolframite in the Tieshanlong Tungsten Deposit,Jiangxi, China: Implications for Fluid Evolution

The Tieshanlong tungsten‐polymetallic deposit is a large wolframite deposit of quartz vein type located in southern Jiangxi, South China. It is genetically related to a high‐K S‐type granite. Seven pyrite and two wolframite samples, selected for He and Ar isotope analyses, yielded ³He/⁴He values of 0.04–0.98 Ra, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar ratios of 293.5–368.0, and ³⁸Ar/³⁶Ar ratios of 0.176–0.193. These data indicate that the ore‐forming fluids associated with the deposit did not result from a simple mixing of the crustal‐ and mantle‐derived end‐member fluids, but that primeval meteoric fluids were also involved in the generation of the associated granitic magma by partial melting of crustal metasedimentary rocks. Further investigations show that only minimal He from the mantle was added during generation of the associated granitic magma. It is postulated that boiling and second mixing with “new” meteoric fluids took place during migration of magmatic‐hydrothermal fluids into wall‐rock fractures, resulting in a drastic decrease of their metal transport capacity, which triggered the tungsten‐polymetallic mineralization.     

Quartz resources in the Serra de Santa Helena formation,Brazil: A geochemical and technological study

This study presents an evaluation of Brazilian quartz deposits of Corinto and Olhos D'água, in Minas Gerais State, as potential high purity raw material for the production of silica glass. Both deposits are part of the Serra de Santa Helena formation, which holds other quartz deposits. Several quartz samples from these mines were analyzed to evaluate their chemical purity, by determination of the content of trace elements by ICP-MS after acid digestion. The technological characteristics of the ores after flame-fusion into silica glass were evaluated according to their bubble generation and UV transparency. The results indicate that silica glass with chemistry suitable for crucible applications can be obtained from materials of both mines, and even optical grade silica glass can be manufactured using transparent ore from one of the mines. In addition, this work explores the trace elements composition of each mine, as well as their fluid inclusions, and characterizes the mines as being of hydrothermal origin. Small differences in the physical and chemical characteristics of quartz that could affect the technological behavior of the ores are related to the geological history of the mines and provide interesting insights regarding the exploration of other quartz resources within the same geological formation.     

南天山基性麻粒岩中变形石英和石榴子石的TEM研究

基性麻粒岩产于大陆地壳深部,它的研究可以为大陆岩石圈的性质、组成、演化和深部动力学过程提供重要信息。南天山库米什榆树沟地区发育总厚达1000多米的基性麻粒岩构造岩片,走向南东,朝北东推覆。剖面上和石炭纪蛇绿混杂岩共存,并发生了石榴子石的旋转变形和强烈的石英-长石矿物相韧性变形。然而它们的变形条件至今尚未被研究。本文运用透射电镜(TEM)超微组构技术对榆树沟基性麻粒岩中石英和石榴子石进行了详细研究,结果表明,石英中存在着丰富的超显微变形构造,自由位错、亚颗粒和位错网非常发育,这表明研究区基性麻粒岩在折返抬升过程中曾遭受过较强的石英-长石相韧性变形作用;石榴子石中的超微变形构造则极为少见,只在其中发现几根自由位错,并在其颗粒边缘发现少量亚颗粒构造,说明该矿物主体属于脆性变形。这两种矿物变形性质的差异,反映了石榴子石的晶体结构在该条件下比石英更稳定,而且说明石榴子石的变质温度没有超过900℃,也就是说,本区麻粒岩的变质作用并非发生在极高温度的条件下。

Advective heat transfer and fabric development in a shallow crustal intrusive granite — the case of Proterozoic Vellaturu granite,south India

Syntectonic plutons emplaced in shallow crust often contain intermediate-to low-temperature deformation microstructures but lack a high-temperature, subsolidus deformation fabric, although the relict magmatic fabric is preserved. The Proterozoic Vellaturu granite emplaced at the eastern margin of the northern Nallamalai fold belt, south India during the late phase of regional deformation has a common occurrence of intermediate-to low-temperature deformation fabric, superimposed over magmatic fabric with an internally complex pattern. But high-T subsolidus deformation microstructure and fabric are absent in this pluton. The main crystal plastic deformation and fluid enhanced reaction softening was concentrated along the margin of the granite body. Resulting granite mylonites show Y-maximum c-axis fabric in completely recrystallized quartz ribbonds, dynamic recrystallization of perthites, and myrmekite indicative of fabric development under intermediate temperature (∼ 500–400°C). The weakly-deformed interior shows myrmekite, feldspar microfracturing and limited bulging recrystallization of quartz. The abundance of prism subgrain boundaries is indicative of continuing deformation through low-temperature (∼ 300°C). The relative rates of cooling influenced by advective heat transfer and deformation of the pluton seem to control the overall subsolidus fabric development. The rapid advective heat transfer from the interior in the early stages of subsolidus cooling was followed by slow cooling through intermediate temperature window as a well-developed phyllosilicate rich mylonitic skin around the granite body slowed down conductive heat loss. Low-T crystal plastic deformation of quartz was effected at a late stage of cooling and deformation of the shallow crustal granite body emplaced within the greenschist facies Nallamlai rocks.     

东天山土屋–延东铜矿带石英钠长斑岩与辉钼矿形成年龄及其重要意义

土屋–延东铜矿带位于东天山大南湖–头苏泉岛弧带上,是目前新疆最大的铜矿带。铜矿体主要赋存于石炭纪斜长花岗斑岩和晚古生代企鹅山群中,但是前人研究表明斜长花岗斑岩的成岩年龄(339~332 Ma),明显老于成矿年龄(约322Ma),因此,土屋–延东铜矿带的致矿岩体至今还存有争议。本次研究首次对该铜矿带晚石炭世石英钠长斑岩进行了详细的岩相学和LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学分析,并结合辉钼矿Re-Os同位素年龄测定,探讨土屋–延东铜矿带矿床成因。对延东铜矿4件辉钼矿样品进行Re-Os同位素分析,得到322.0±2.7 Ma的加权平均模式年龄和319.1±9.1 Ma等时线年龄,明显要晚于斜长花岗斑岩年龄。两个石英钠长斑岩样品LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄分别为324.9±2.4 Ma和324.5±2.1 Ma,表明石英钠长斑岩为晚石炭世岩浆活动的产物。岩相学研究表明,石英钠长斑岩中发育黄铜矿+绿泥石+硬石膏+方解石矿物组合,这与延东铜矿主成矿阶段的矿物组合基本一致,并且石英钠长斑岩成岩年龄与辉钼矿年龄在误差范围内一致,表明石英钠长斑岩可能与土屋-延东铜矿带铜矿形成有着密切关系,这一发现可能为大南湖–头苏泉岛弧带晚石炭世铜矿的勘查提供新的思路。     

湖北随州黑龙潭金矿石英Rb-Sr同位素年龄及其地质意义

通过矿物流体包裹体Rb-Sr同位素测年,获得鄂北黑龙潭金矿石英Rb-Sr等时线年龄为132.6±2.7Ma,表明该金矿床形成于早白垩世中期。矿石石英中流体包裹体Sr同位素初始比(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)i平均值为0.710798,小于陆源硅酸盐的值(0.720),高于地幔Sr的初始值(0.707),暗示成矿物质来源于壳幔混合。结合各类岩矿石Au丰度变化,S、Pb、H、O等同位素组成,以及稀土和微量元素特征、成矿流体等研究,认为该矿床的形成可能与燕山期持续伸展阶段大规模构造-岩浆活动有关,燕山期中酸性岩浆活动为金矿成矿提供了主要矿源和热源。     

鄂尔多斯盆地大牛地地区致密砂岩石英溶解作用及其对优质储集层的影响

储集层孔隙成因机制是致密砂岩储集层评价和预测必须解决的基本问题。本文以储集层微观分析为基础,对鄂尔多斯盆地大牛地气田石炭-二叠系致密砂岩储集层孔隙成因类型及其和优质储集层成因的关系进行了研究。结果表明,研究区致密砂岩储集层中碎屑石英颗粒存在明显的直接溶解现象,并形成了以石英溶解为主的储集空间类型,这种石英溶解是碱性成岩环境作用的结果,致密砂岩储集层的发育程度仍然和孔隙度以及组分的溶解作用有密切关系,碱不稳定矿物的溶蚀量一般为1%~23%,石英溶解型孔隙对储集层孔隙的贡献率一般可以达到60%~90%,碱溶蚀量达到5%以上时有利于优质储集层的形成;石英溶解作用较强的位置主要是颗粒边部的粒间孔隙周围,这种类型的溶解形成于储集层经历较强的压实成岩改造之后,所形成的溶解孔隙在后期的持续性压实过程中损失程度较低;石英溶解作用的强弱决定了储集层物性的最终发育程度以及优质储集层的形成。
