合肥—潢川盆地南缘中生代冲积沉积及其构造意义

合肥—潢川盆地南缘中生代地层被划分为4个年代体（Chronsome）。年代体Ⅰ包括早侏罗世防虎山组和中晚侏罗世圆筒山组下部，由辫状河、曲流河以及滨一浅湖沉积体系组成，局限于盆地东端；年代体Ⅱ包括中晚侏罗世三尖铺组、朱集组和圆筒山组上部，下部为冲积扇沉积，中、上部为辫状河沉积，早期属于横向水流系统（南北方向），晚期是纵向水流系统（东西方向），近EW向的信阳—金寨—舒城断裂是其南部边界；年代体Ⅲ包括早白垩世早期凤凰台组、段集组、周公山组，前两组为冲积扇沉积，后者为辫状河和越岸沉积，粗碎屑明显向盆进积达数公里，南部边缘发育横向水流，而往盆地方向发育纵向水流。年代体Ⅳ为早白垩世晚期黑石渡组和陈棚组，南部边界是磨子潭晓天断裂和桐柏-商城断裂，断裂以伸展走滑为主，东段早期为冲积扇-扇三角洲沉积，晚期为深湖浊积岩沉积。晚白垩世沉积仅发育在西段局部地区，其余处于隆升状态。平行于大别山造山带的近EW向纵向断裂控制着年代体的南部边界，NE向郯城庐江断裂和商城麻城断裂控制着年代体侧向相的变化。合肥潢川盆地南缘沉积从东往西逐渐超覆，揭示大别造山带折返具有自东而西的递进特征。郯城—庐江断裂和商城—麻城断裂对年代体的发育有明显影响，郯城—庐江断裂控制着早侏罗世沉积，表明构造活动至少始于早侏罗世。

桐柏—大别山掀斜隆升对长江中游环境的影响

桐柏－大别山自早更新世晚期以来,不断发生着自北向南的掀斜隆升,从而对长江中游的环境,尤其是水系的演化产生了严重影响。主要表现在：鄂西各东西向河流的阶地高差自北向南逐渐降低;江汉平原水系同步向南发生异常弯曲,长江主河道不断南移,湖相沉积范围也由北向南收缩和迁移;鄂东长江两岸水系和河谷地貌发育不对称,长江主河道紧逼南岸丘陵区。现代地壳形变资料表明：桐柏－大别山的掀升作用仍在继续,由此引起的环境问题还将     

TTGs and adakites: are they both slab melts?

Although both high-Al TTG (tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite) and adakite show strongly fractionated REE and incompatible element patterns, TTGs have lower Sr, Mg, Ni, Cr, and Nb/Ta than most adakites. These compositional differences cannot be easily related by shallow fractional crystallization. While adakites are probably slab melts, TTGs may be produced by partial melting of hydrous mafic rocks in the lower crust in arc systems or in the Archean, perhaps in the root zones of oceanic plateaus. It is important to emphasize that geochemical data can be used to help constrain tectonic settings, but it cannot be used alone to reconstruct ancient tectonic settings.

Depletion in heavy REE and low Nb/Ta ratios in high-Al TTGs require both garnet and low-Mg amphibole in the restite, whereas moderate to high Sr values allow little, if any, plagioclase in the restite. To meet these requirements requires melting in the hornblende eclogite stability field between 40- and 80-km deep and between 700 and 800 °C.

Some high-Al TTGs produced at 2.7 Ga and perhaps again at about 1.9 Ga show unusually high La/Yb, Sr, Cr, and Ni. These TTGs may reflect catastrophic mantle overturn events at 2.7 and 1.9 Ga, during which a large number of mantle plumes bombarded the base of the lithosphere, producing thick oceanic plateaus that partially melted at depth.

陆相坳陷型和断陷型湖盆层序地层样式探讨

依据层序地层学基本理论,考虑中国中新生代陆相坳陷型和断陷型湖盆的盆地结构和沉积物充填序列特征,综合利用地质和地球物理资料,以松辽盆地白垩系和准噶尔盆地侏罗系、柴达木盆地第四系和渤海湾盆地第三系为研究实例,将坳陷型湖盆沉积层序细分成可以确定首次湖泛面和不能确定首次湖泛面的两种类型,建立了这两种类型湖盆的层序地层样式。前者由低位、湖侵和高位体系域组成,后者由湖侵和湖退体系域构成。在断陷型湖盆中,可将盆地缓坡由同生断裂活动造成的地势变化带作为地形坡折带(构造坡折带)并用于确定首次湖泛面,进而讨论了首次湖泛面和最大湖泛面的多种识别标志,建立了由低位、湖侵和高位体系域构成的断陷型湖盆层序地层样式。     

Prospector II: Towards a knowledge base for mineral deposits

What began in the mid-seventies as a research effort in designing an expert system to aid geologists in exploring for hidden mineral deposits has in the late eighties become a full-sized knowledge-based system to aid geologists in conducting regional mineral resource assessments. Prospector II, the successor to Prospector, is interactive-graphics oriented, flexible in its representation of mineral deposit models, and suited to regional mineral resource assessment. In Prospector II, the geologist enters the findings for an area, selects the deposit models or examples of mineral deposits for consideration, and the program compares the findings with the models or the examples selected, noting the similarities, differences, and missing information. The models or the examples selected are ranked according to scores that are based on the comparisons with the findings. Findings can be reassessed and the process repeated if necessary. The results provide the geologist with a rationale for identifying those mineral deposit types that the geology of an area permits. In future, Prospector II can assist in the creation of new models used in regional mineral resource assessment and in striving toward an ultimate classification of mineral deposits.     

An agent-based simulation model of a primitive agricultural society

The paper describes a model of an agricultural society in which agents live in a single settlement and use the surrounding area to produce essential and non-essential goods. Agents make, and attempt to fulfil, consumption and production plans but markets do not always clear and goods can change hands at different prices between different pairs of agents. The model generates a wide range of agricultural landscapes, including those of a classical von Thünen economy. Demographically, it produces outcomes varying from logistic growth to periodic collapse caused by cyclical famines.     

Rhodolith-bearing limestones as transgressive marker beds: fossil and modern examples from North Island, New Zealand

Rhodoliths are nodular structures composed mainly of the superimposed thalli of calcareous red algae. Because their development is controlled by an array of ecological parameters, rhodoliths are a valuable source of palaeoenvironmental information. However, despite their common use in palaeoecological reconstructions, the stratigraphic significance of rhodolith accumulations seldom has been addressed in detail. In a study of Cenozoic rhodolith‐bearing deposits from the North Island of New Zealand, rhodolithic units, usually of limited lateral extent, typically occur above major unconformities at the base of deepening upwards successions. Two types of transgressive rhodolith‐bearing deposits may be distinguished on the basis of texture and rhodolith internal structure: (i) type A deposits are clast‐supported rhodolithic rudstones containing abundant pebbles and cobbles reworked from the substrate, and are characterized by rhodoliths with a compact concentric to columnar internal structure and a high nucleus to algal cover ratio; (ii) type B deposits are rhodolithic floatstones with a matrix usually consisting of bryozoan fragments, benthic foraminifera and echinoid fragments or terrigenous silty fine sand. The rhodoliths of type B units usually have a loose internal framework with irregular to branched crusts. The two contrasting rhodolith‐bearing units are interpreted as characteristic facies of transgressive systems tract deposits, analogous to shell concentrations formed under conditions of low net sedimentation. Type A deposits are correlated with relatively high‐energy settings and/or narrow submerged palaeotopographic lows, whereas type B deposits are interpreted as forming in lower‐energy settings. The association between transgression and development of rhodolithic facies is confirmed by observations of a modern rhodolith production site at Whangaparaoa Peninsula in North Island, where algal nodules grow above a ravinement surface cut during the Holocene sea‐level rise, and also by a review of published fossil examples, many of which show stratigraphic and compositional attributes analogous to those of the New Zealand occurrences. The review indicates that transgressive rhodolith accumulations develop more commonly in, but are not restricted to, non‐tropical settings. It is suggested that a combination of factors, such as low net sedimentary input, nature of the substrate, sea‐level rise and inherited physiography contribute to determine the relationship between rhodolith‐bearing deposits and transgressive settings.     

蒙古国塔木察格盆地塔南凹陷早白垩世构造古地貌控砂机制*

构造活动是源-汇系统中形成古地貌和砂分散体系的重要影响因素。塔木察格盆地塔南凹陷在早白垩世是一个典型的断陷湖盆,经历了多期幕式断陷活动,但同沉积构造活动及其配置所产生的古地貌对层序结构特征、沉积体系及砂体分布的控制作用仍不明确。文中以地震、测井、岩心资料为基础,以层序地层学理论和古地貌控砂理论为指导,建立了塔南凹陷下白垩统层序地层格架;结合断层活动性分析,阐明了不同类型古地貌对沉积体系和砂体分布的控制作用和规律。构造演化和沉积充填的综合研究表明: 受控盆主断裂的幕式断陷活动及同沉积断裂的差异断陷活动影响,塔南凹陷发育横向凸起和走向斜坡2种类型的构造调节带,这些构造调节带是水系入盆的通道,控制着盆地的主体物源方向、沉积体系类型与分布特征;根据断层的几何形态及发育部位,共识别出4种类型构造坡折带,分别是陡坡断崖型坡折带、陡坡断阶型坡折带、缓坡反向断阶型坡折带和盆内坡折带,它们各自控制了不同类型沉积体系的形成与分布;沉积物入盆后,沉积物分散体系和砂体的分布特征受同沉积断裂的组合样式控制,研究区共发育梳状断裂系、叉状断裂系和平行断裂系3种同沉积断裂平面组合;与构造调节带相对应的断裂坡折带低部位是大型储层砂体,特别是低位扇三角洲或盆底扇砂体发育的有利部位,是寻找砂岩油气藏的有利区带。研究成果对于深化断陷湖盆源-汇系统理论、指导断陷湖盆砂体分布预测具有重要的理论意义和实际价值。
