Alluvial architecture of the Holocene Rhine–Meuse delta (the Netherlands)

Ancient fluvial successions often act as hydrocarbon reservoirs. Sub‐surface data on the alluvial architecture of fluvial successions are often incomplete and modelling is performed to reconstruct the stratigraphy. However, all alluvial architecture models suffer from the scarcity of field data to test and calibrate them. The purposes of this study were to quantify the alluvial architecture of the Holocene Rhine–Meuse delta (the Netherlands) and to determine spatio‐temporal trends in the architecture. Five north–south orientated cross‐sections, perpendicular to the general flow direction, were compiled for the fluvial‐dominated part of the delta. These sections were used to calculate the width/thickness ratios of fluvial sandbodies (SBW/SBT) and the proportions of channel‐belt deposits (CDP), clastic overbank deposits (ODP) and organic material (OP) in the succession. Furthermore, the connectedness ratio (CR) between channel belts was calculated for each cross‐section. Distinct spatial and temporal trends in the alluvial architecture were found. SBW/SBT ratios decrease by a factor of ca 4 in a downstream direction. CDP decreases from ca 0·7 (upstream) to ca 0·3 (downstream). OP increases from less than 0·05 in the upstream part of the delta to more than 0·25 in the downstream delta. ODP is approximately constant (0·4). CR is ca 0·25 upstream, which is approximately two times larger than in the downstream part of the delta. Furthermore, CDP in the downstream Rhine–Meuse delta increases after 3000 cal yr BP. These trends are attributed to variations in available accommodation space, floodplain geometry and channel‐belt size. For instance, channel belts tend to narrow in a downstream direction, which reduces SBW/SBT, CDP and CR. Tectonics cause local deviations in the general architectural trends. In addition, the positive correlation between avulsion frequency and the ratio of local to regional aggradation rate probably influenced alluvial architecture in the Rhine–Meuse delta. The Rhine–Meuse data set can be a great resource when developing more sophisticated models for alluvial architecture simulation, which eventually could lead to better characterizations of hydrocarbon reservoirs. To aid such usage of the Rhine–Meuse data set, constraints for relevant parameters are provided at the end of the paper.

Rare Earth, Major and Trace Elements in the Kunimiyama Ferromanganese Deposit in the Northern Chichibu Belt, Central Shikoku, Japan

Abstract. Rare earth, major and trace element geochemistry is reported for the Kunimiyama stratiform ferromanganese deposit in the Northern Chichibu Belt, central Shikoku, Japan. The deposit immediately overlies greenstones of mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) origin and underlies red chert. The ferromanganese ores exhibit remarkable enrichments in Fe, Mn, P, V, Co, Ni, Zn, Y and rare earth elements (excepting Ce) relative to continental crustal abundance. These enriched elements/ Fe ratios and Post-Archean Average Australian Shale-normalized REE patterns of the ferromanganese ores are generally analogous to those of modern hydrothermal ferromanganese plume fall-out precipitates deposited on MOR flanks. However in more detail, Mn and Ti enrichments in the ferromanganese ores are more striking than the modern counterpart, suggesting a significant contribution of hydrogenetic component in the Kunimiyama ores. Our results are consistent with the interpretation that the Kunimiyama ores were umber deposits that primarily formed by hydrothermal plume fall-out precipitation in the Panthalassa Ocean during the Early Permian and then accreted onto the proto-Japanese island arc during the Middle Jurassic. The presence of strong negative Ce anomaly in the Kunimiyama ores may indicate that the Early Permian Panthalassa seawater had a more striking negative Ce anomaly due to a more oxidizing oceanic condition than today.     

山东鲁西地区绿岩带型金矿床特征及成因浅析

山东鲁西地区绿岩带地层总体金背景值较高,是金矿形成的矿源层.无论是保存相对完好的绿岩带还是被TTG改造后的花岗-绿岩带,均有利于金矿形成.已知金矿床的形成与分布均与韧性剪切带有关,韧性剪切带是形成绿岩型金矿的主要控矿构造.强烈韧性变形和破碎并富含绿岩带残留体的TTG岩系与金成矿关系密切.中生代燕山期岩浆热液活动的叠加有利于进一步富集成矿.     

陕西柞山地区穆家庄铜矿床成矿流体来源的氦氩氢氧同位素示踪

最近,在秦岭柞山地区泥盆系中又发现了穆家庄铜矿,矿体明显受层间破碎带控制,矿石主要产在铁白云石-石英脉中,其后生成矿现象非常明显.文章利用的黄铁矿流体包裹体He-Ar同位素和氢氧同位素,来探讨这类矿床的成矿流体的来源.穆家庄铜矿床矿石矿物黄铁矿流体包裹体的3He/4He比值为0.322～0.889R/Ra,小于1.0R/Ra.3He/4He比值远远低于地幔流体的比值,与地壳流体的比值在相同的数量级上.穆家庄铜矿成矿流体的40Ar/36Ar比值为377～569,平均470,显然偏离大气氩的同位素组成.穆家庄铜矿成矿流体的40Ar/4He比值为0.09～0.23,平均值为0.164.很显然,该矿床的成矿流体的40Ar/4He比值接近地壳.根据以上分析,柞山地区的穆家庄铜矿床的成矿流体是壳源的.氢氧同位素分析表明穆家庄铜矿的氢氧同位素则落入原生岩浆水范围内,表明穆家庄铜矿的成矿流体为岩浆水.综合对比分析后认为,穆家庄铜矿的成矿流体是由壳源岩浆驱动并参与的岩浆流体提供的.

庞西垌银(金)矿床是粤西北地区构造蚀变岩型银(金)矿床的典型代表之一.矿床产出受前寒武系及下古生界混合片麻岩与燕山晚期花岗岩之间的接触带断裂构造控制,矿体严格产于断裂带内部,呈脉状、透镜状.研究表明,控矿断裂的形态、产状变化对矿体空间定位有明显的控制作用,多组控矿断裂的交叉复合是矿体加大变厚的直接原因.矿体产出与断裂构造内部特定的断裂构造岩、蚀变岩及其分带有关.     

翁泉沟含铀硼铁矿床综合开发利用研究与对策

翁泉沟含铀硼铁矿中硼(B2O3)储量约占我国总储量的一半,矿床经勘探后一直没有很好得到利用。在综合利用资料积累与地质研究基础上,认为影响矿床利用的因素主要为矿石分解状况。研究认为矿床中硼镁铁矿-磁铁矿和硼镁石-磁铁矿两种主要类型矿石中绝大部分为可利用的变质后期热液作用产生的硼镁石-磁铁矿型矿石。这种热液作用形成的矿石是有规律可寻的。为达到综合利用的目的,有必要按不同类型矿石重新圈定矿体,根据不同矿体中硼镁铁矿分解率指标,选择两种不同综合利用方案。
