伊犁地块北缘早古生代构造属性:来自温泉地区闪长岩的证据

温泉地区位于伊犁地块与哈萨克斯坦板块结合部位,广泛发育早古生代侵入岩,侵入岩带对探究伊犁地块北缘早古生代构造背景及洋陆演化具有重要意义。在野外地质填图和岩相学观察基础上,对温泉地区奥陶纪闪长岩开展了系统的锆石U-Pb年代学、Hf同位素和地球化学研究。年代学表明,石英闪长岩3个样品锆石U-Pb加权平均年龄分别为（467.7±5.4）、（457.1±3.9）和（455.4±5.0）Ma,表明其结晶时间从中奥陶世一直持续到晚奥陶世早期。地球化学成分显示,闪长岩SiO₂质量分数（50.19%~61.91%,平均56.57%）、TiO₂质量分数（0.84%~1.13%,平均1.01%）较低,MgO质量分数（2.36%~8.17%,平均4.60%）、CaO质量分数（3.94%~9.45%,平均6.50%）和全碱质量分数（3.74%~7.06%,平均5.41%）相对较高,并具有高的Na₂O/K₂O值（1.42~4.90,平均2.76）,以及低的A/CNK值（0.70~0.95,平均0.84）,为准铝质岩石。微量元素地球化学显示闪长岩富集大离子亲石元素（K、Rb等）,亏损高场强元素（Ta、Nb、Ti等）;球粒陨石标准化稀土元素分布模式表现为"左陡右缓"的变化趋势,Eu显示弱的负异常（δEu=0.67~1.12,平均值0.90）,重稀土元素质量分数较低,具有大陆边缘弧火成岩地球化学特征。Harker二元图解表明,岩浆演化过程中发生了分离结晶作用,存在于岩体中的地层捕虏体显示其经历了一定的地壳混染。两件石英闪长岩样品具有相近的Hf同位素组成：ε_Hf（t）值为3.9~7.0,两阶段模式年龄（T_DM2）为991~1 191 Ma（平均1 083 Ma）,远远大于锆石U-Pb年龄。以上特征表明亏损地幔在闪长岩源区占主导地位,并有早期大洋板片流体交代的富集岩石圈地幔组分的混入。综合地质资料和前人研究成果,推测区内闪长岩形成时的动力可能与准噶尔洋奥陶纪持续向南俯冲有关,洋盆最终于晚奥陶世-早志留世闭合。     

Early Cretaceous transpressional and transtensional tectonics straddling the Sulu orogenic belt,East China

The Sulu orogenic belt (SOB) separates the North and South China blocks in East Asia and formed during Triassic continent-continent collision. However, late Mesozoic post-collisional exhumation is poorly understood due to lack of surface evidence for Paleo-Pacific subduction and associated effects. This paper interprets the tectonic history of the SOB using detrital zircon age data from Early Cretaceous sedimentary units along with previously published geochronologic and geochemical data to reconstruct sedimentological and tectonic history. Detrital zircon age distributions obtained from sedimentary units include a 2.0 Ga subpopulation that appears only in turbidite units to the southeast. This sediment probably derived from the Yangtze Block. Terrestrial facies from the Jiao-Lai basin to the northwest appear to derive from the North China Block. Geochronologic and geochemical data indicate that Early Cretaceous, post-collisional volcanism was compositionally bimodal (mafic-felsic) with associated intrusive activity that peaked at 120 Ma. Seismic images of northerly regions of the study area indicate this occurred in an extensional setting. Sedimentary facies and field structural analyses revealed an unconformity interpreted to reflect rapid uplift with NW–SE compression to the south. Given observed sinistral movement along the Tan-Lu fault, we interpret northwest and southeast regions of the SOB as experiencing transtensional and transpressional tectonics, respectively, driven by continuous subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate. Intrusion of the Late Yanshannian granitoids marked the final formational stage of this unique tectonic setting.

New Azhdarchid Pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Western Liaoning

A nearly complete skeleton with a lower jaw of pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous of western Liaoning is described and assigned to a new genus, Eoazhdarcho gen. nov.. The new genus is characterized by a relatively small size,the ratio of the length to width of the middle series cervical vertebrae approximately 3.5 and the ratio of humeral length to femoral length approximately 0.96. The humerus of Eoazhdarcho shows great resemblances to that of previously described Azhdarchidae, so it is assigned to the family Azhdarchidae.     

A New Ctenochasmatid Pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Liaoning Province

Based on a nearly complete lower jaw from the Early Cretaceous of Liaoning Province, a new ctenochasmatid pterosaur: Liaoxipterus brachyognathus gen, et sp. nov. is erected. Liaoxipterus brachyognathus is different from any known pterosaurs with skulls preserved from western Liaoning Province and its peripheral areas in that the anterior part of the mandibular symphysis is expanded, being widest between the fourth alveolus of each side. Liaoxipterus brachyognathus is assigned to Ctenochasmatidae based on the following characters: the rounded anterior end of the lower jaw is spatulated and dorsoventrally flattened and marked heterodonty in the dentition is absent. It differs from other ctenochasmatid pterosaurs in having relatively small number of teeth. Liaoxipterus is distinguished from some ornithocheirids, which have expanded anterior parts of the mandibular symphyses, such as Anhanguera piscator,Coloborhynchus robustus in which the teeth of the new pterosaur are not as variable.     

Sedimentogenesis cyclicity, stages, and phases in the development of the Late Silurian-Early Devonian biota in Northeast Asia

It is established that the Pridolian-Eifelian megacycle in Northeast Asia is represented by five macrocyclites. The analysis of fossils in Upper Silurian-Lower Devonian sections of the region reveals ten levels marked by large-scale reorganizations in the composition and structure of the biota in this basin. These levels are united in pairs by five maximums, which are characterized by the highest values of the taxonomic renewal coefficient, coincide with the boundaries of macrocyclites, and are traceable through the entire sedimentation basin.

中国最老岩石和锆石

在中国大陆的许多地区都已发现大于3.4Ga的锆石和岩石.鞍山是全球仅有几个存在≥3.8Ga岩石的地区之一.它们以不大的规模存在于白家坟、东山、深沟寺杂岩中,由糜棱岩化奥长花岗岩、条带状奥长花岗岩和变质石英闪长岩组成.近年来,在鞍山地区还发现了许多3.7～3.6Ga岩石和锆石.锆石Hf同位素组成表明鞍山地区在3.8～3.6Ga期间存在周期性的地幔添加和陆壳形成.除鞍山外,在中国许多地区的不同类型岩石中也获得了≥3.4Ga锆石,虽然它们大多数都是碎屑和残余成因.(1)华北克拉通冀东铬云母石英岩中3.85～3.55Ga碎屑锆石:(2)华北克拉通信阳中生代火山岩长英质麻粒岩中3.66Ga岩浆锆石;(3)华南克拉通宜昌地区杨子地块新元古代砂岩中3.80Ga碎屑锆石(一颗);(4)华南克拉通华夏地块新元古代一古生代变质沉积岩中3.76～3.6Ga碎屑锆石;(5)西北地区塔里木地块阿克塔什塔格地区古元古代片麻状花岗岩中3.6Ga残余锆石;(6)西秦岭奥陶纪变质火山岩中4.08Ga捕掳锆石(一颗);(7)西藏普兰地区奥陶纪石英岩中4.1Ga碎屑锆石(一颗,有3.61Ga增生边).一些古老锆石有高达4.1～4.0Ga的Hf同位素模式年龄.在中国,>3.4Ga地壳物质的比例以往被低估了,发现冥古宙和始太古代物质的可能性仍然存在,它们将对中国早期陆壳演化提供新的制约.     

End-signature of deep-marine basin-fill, as a structurally confined low-gradient clastic system: the Middle Eocene Guaso system, South-central Spanish Pyrenees

The ca 300 m thick Guaso system is the youngest part of the ca 4 km thick deep-marine fill of the Middle Eocene Ainsa basin, Spanish Pyrenees. It is overlain by 150 to 200 m of fine-grained slope, prodelta and deltaic sediments. The ca 25 discrete deep-marine sandbodies within the Ainsa basin accumulated over ca 10 Myr, making eustasy the most likely control for coarse sand deposition (probably the ca 400 kyr Milankovitch mode). The first-order control on basin-scale accommodation, however, was tectonically-driven subsidence. Previously, the Guaso sandbodies were interpreted as linked to deep erosional, canyon-like features, but here it is argued that they are laterally extensive sandbodies, built by lateral-switching of 3 to 10 m deep erosional channels, and confined only by basin structure during deposition. The Guaso system represents the end of deep-marine deposition in a structurally-confined, delta-fed, low-gradient clastic system. The critical end-signature of deep-marine deposition was a phase of differential tectonic uplift above the underlying (Boltaña) thrust creating a narrower and shallower basin morphology, thus allowing sedimentation to create a low-gradient clastic system. Then, the next eustatic sea-level fall was insufficient to permit the cutting of canyons or deeply-incised slope channels, as had been the case earlier when the topographic relief between shelf and basin was at least several hundred metres greater. Such low-gradient clastic systems may characterize the end-signature for the infill of other shallowing-up deep-marine basins where a tectonic driver on subsidence is removed and/or differential uplift/subsidence leads to reduced sea floor gradients, leaving eustasy and sediment flux as the principal control on sediment supply.
