江西李公岭花岗闪长岩锆石U-Pb定年及找矿前景

为探究江西李公岭花岗闪长岩的成岩时代和成矿前景,对李公岭地区的花岗闪长岩及其中发育的隐爆角砾岩筒中的花岗闪长(斑)岩角砾岩块分别进行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年。测年结果表明,李公岭花岗闪长岩(150.6±1.1)Ma和隐爆角砾岩筒中的花岗闪长(斑)岩岩块(151.0±1.3)Ma基本为同时形成,时代为晚侏罗世。李公岭花岗闪长岩和李公岭角砾岩筒中的花岗闪长(斑)岩的形成时代与区内发育的阳储岭W-Mo矿的成岩成矿时代基本一致,以及隐爆角砾岩筒和周围的网脉状石英脉的存在,表明李公岭地区当时可能存在一个岩浆热液活动中心,且该热液活动可能与江南古陆东北缘燕山晚期大规模W-Mo成矿作用有关,暗示李公岭岩体周围具有较大的W-Mo找矿前景。     

Thrusting of the North Lhasa Block in the Tibetan Plateau

A huge thrust system, the North Lhasa Thrust (NLT), was discovered in the northern Lhasa block of the Tibetan Plateau based on geological mapping of the Damxung region and its vicinity, the Deqen-Lunpola traverse and the Amdo-Bam Co profile. The NLT consists of the Dongqiao-Lunpola thrust (DLT), the west Namco thrust (WNT) and the south Damxung thrust (SDT) and ductile shear zones, ophiolite slices and folds extending in a WNW direction. Major thrust faults of the NLT seem to merge into a single deep-seated detachment of the upper-crust and totally displaced southward as far as 100-120 km. Chronological analyses with 39Ar-40Ar of plagioclase and hornblende, Rb-Sr isochron of minerals and fission-tracks of apatite from mylonite within the WNT yield ages of 174-173 Ma, 109 Ma and 44 Ma, showing 3 periods of thrusting in the north Lhasa block caused by subduction of the Tethys oceanic plate and the India-Eurasia continental collision respectively.     

Rivers turned to rock: Late Quaternary alluvial induration influencing the behaviour and morphology of an anabranching river in the Australian monsoon tropics

Late Quaternary alluvial induration has greatly influenced contemporary channel morphology on the anabranching Gilbert River in the monsoon tropics of the Gulf of Carpentaria. The Gilbert, one of a number of rivers in this region, has contributed to an extensive system of coalescing low-gradient and partly indurated riverine plains. Extensive channel sands were deposited by enhanced flow conditions during marine oxygen isotope (OI) Stage 5. Subsequent flow declined, probably associated with increased aridity, however, enhanced runoff recurred again in OI Stages 4–3 (65–50 ka). Aridity then capped these plains with 4–7 m of mud. A widespread network of sandy distributary channels was incised into this muddy surface from sometime after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to the mid Holocene during a fluvial episode more active than the present but less so than those of OI Stages 5 and 3. This network is still partly active but with channel avulsion and abandonment now occurring largely proximal to the main Gilbert flow path.A tropical climate and reactive catchment lithology have enhanced chemical weathering and lithification of alluvium along the river resulting in the formation of small rapids, waterfalls and inset gorges, features characteristic more of bedrock than alluvial systems. Thermoluminescence (TL) and comparative optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages of the sediments are presented along with U/Th ages of pedogenic calcrete and Fe/Mn oxyhydroxide/ oxide accumulations. They show that calcrete precipitated during the Late Quaternary at times similar to those that favoured ferricrete formation, possibly because of an alternating wet–dry climate. Intense chemical alteration of the alluvium leading to induration appears to have prevailed for much of the Late Quaternary but, probably due to exceptional dryness, not during the LGM. The result has been restricted channel migration and a reduced capacity for the channel to adjust and accommodate sudden changes in bedload. Consequent avulsions have caused local stream powers to increase by an order of magnitude, inducing knickpoint erosion, local incision and the sudden influx of additional bedload that has triggered further avulsions. The Gilbert River, while less energetic than its Pleistocene ancestors, is clearly an avulsive system, and emphasizes the importance in some tropical rivers of alluvial induration for reinforcing the banks, generating nickpoints, reworking sediment and thereby developing and maintaining an indurated and anabranching river style.     

LA-ICP-MS石榴子石U-Pb定年方法在异剥钙榴岩和矽卡岩年代学研究中的应用

本文利用Coherent GeoLasHD型193 nm ArF准分子激光剥蚀系统和Agilent 7900型四极杆电感耦合等离子体质谱仪, 建立了LA-ICP-MS石榴子石U-Pb定年方法。利用该方法, 对采自冀北地区晚古生代镁铁质-超镁铁质混杂岩体中的异剥钙榴岩和闽西南马坑式铁矿含矿石榴子石矽卡岩这两种岩石中的石榴子石开展U-Pb定年研究。在冀北地区晚古生代镁铁质-超镁铁质混杂岩体中的异剥钙榴岩中, 获得石榴子石下交点年龄为(387.6±5.4) Ma (D496-1, MSWD=1.1, N=30)和(409.3±7.8) Ma (D493-1, MSWD=2.0, N=60), 在马坑铁矿石榴子石矽卡岩中, 获得石榴子石下交点年龄为(128.6±2.1) Ma (ZK7921-b24, MSWD=2.0, N=60)和(128.7±3.2) Ma (ZK7922-b1, 用锆石91500校正, MSWD=1.8, N=42); 在潘田铁矿的石榴子石矽卡岩中, 获得石榴子石的下交点年龄为(128.7±1.7) Ma (PT-b1, MSWD=1.7, N=30)和(132.1±1.3) Ma (PT-b1样品, 用锆石91500校正, MSWD=1.6, N=30)(除了指明使用锆石标样91500校正石榴子石未知样品外, 其他皆用石榴子石标样Willsboro校正石榴子石未知样品的U/Pb分馏)。以上结果与Sm-Nd等时线年龄及前人报道的锆石U-Pb年龄在误差范围内一致。对马坑式铁矿石榴子石矽卡岩U-Pb定年结果表明, 利用石榴子石标样Willsboro和锆石标样91500作为外标样校正同一样品中石榴子石U/Pb同位素分馏, 获得的下交点年龄一致, 206Pb/238U年龄的加权平均值也一致, 说明石榴子石与锆石之间的基体效应较小, 在缺乏石榴子石标样时, 可用锆石标样91500代替。在上述研究基础上分析了石榴子石U-Pb定年方法在矽卡岩型矿床成矿时代研究及异剥钙榴岩年代学研究中的应用潜力, 认为石榴子石U-Pb定年方法在矽卡岩型矿床及异剥钙榴岩年代学研究中具有巨大的应用推广前景, 具有重要的理论指导和实际应用意义。     

Zircon U–Pb and pyrite Re–Os age constraints on pyrite mineralization in the Yinjiagou deposit,China

We report new zircon U–Pb and pyrite Re–Os geochronological studies of the Yinjiagou poly-metallic deposit, sited along the southern margin of the North China Craton (SMNCC). In this deposit, pyrite, the most important economic mineral, is intergrown/associated with Mo, Cu, Au, Pb, Zn, and Ag. Prior to our new work, the age of chalcopyrite–pyrite mineralization was known only from its spatial relationship with molybdenite mineralization and with intrusions of known ages. The U–Pb and Re–Os isotope systems provide an excellent means of dating the mineralization itself and additionally place constraints on the ore genesis and metal source. Zircons separated from the quartz–chalcopyrite–pyrite veins include both detrital and magmatic groups. The magmatic zircons confine the maximum age of chalcopyrite–pyrite mineralization to 142.0 ± 1.5 Ma. The Re–Os results yield an age of 141.1 ± 1.1 Ma, which represents the age of the chalcopyrite–pyrite mineralization quite well. The common Os contents are notably low (0.5–20.1 ppt) in all samples. In contrast, the Re contents vary considerably (3.0–199.2 ppb), most likely depending on intensive boiling, which resulted in an increase of Re within the pyrite. This study demonstrates that the main chalcopyrite–pyrite mineralization occurred late in the magmatic history and was linked to a deeper intrusion involving dominant mantle-derived materials. This mineralization event might be related to the Early Cretaceous lithospheric destruction and thinning of the SMNCC.     

新疆阿尔泰阿勒泰组沉积时代及其形成环境

阿勒泰组变质碎屑岩局部夹变质火山岩广泛分布于南阿尔泰的冲乎尔、克兰和麦兹盆地,其沉积时代和构造环境对于研究阿尔泰造山带的演化过程有重要意义。阿勒泰组碎屑锆石的年代学研究表明,碎唐锆石年龄主要集中在417-383 Ma和507-445 Ma,并出现少量元古宙和太古宙碎屑锆石。少数锆石年龄为380-354 Ma,与阿勒泰组凝灰岩和流纹岩年龄一致(376~354 Ma)。综合研究认为阿勒泰组时代为中-晚泥盆世(382-354 Ma)。阿勒泰组长石石英砂岩分选性和磨圆度较差,为近源沉积,物源岩石主要来自泥盆纪火山岩,其次是晚寒武一早奥陶世火山岩和奥陶纪花岗岩。长石石英砂岩样品具有高的La/Sc(3.9-6.3),La/Y(1.0~1.6),较低的Sc/Cr(0.2~0.4)比值,类似于大陆岛弧相关环境碎屑沉积物,结合Th-Co-Zr/10和Th-Sc-Zr/10以及La-Th-Sc判别图,认为阿勒泰组形成于与岛弧相关的构造环境(弧后盆地),为研究阿尔泰造山带泥盆纪构造演化提供了重要证据。     

ESR and OSL dating of fossil-bearing deposits from Naracoorte Cave Complex palaeontological sites,south Australia

Little work has been undertaken on combined dating of sedimentary quartz grains using electron spin resonance (ESR) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) techniques in Australia. This study aims to assess the suitability of a combined ESR and OSL dating approach for establishing improved chronologies of Middle-Late Pleistocene deposits within the Naracoorte Cave Complex (NCC), South Australia. Here, we apply ESR and OSL dating in tandem to a series of samples collected from three different NCC sites: Whale Bone, Specimen and Alexandra cave. ESR quartz dating focuses on the multi-centre (MC) approach, which involves comparative evaluations of Al and Ti centre signals, while paired luminescence dating focuses on single-grain OSL analysis and includes examination of multi-grain averaging effects. The comparative ESR-OSL dating results exhibit broad agreement for deposits spanning 50–150 thousand years, with either the Ti–H or Al centre ages overlapping with paired OSL ages at 2σ in nearly all cases. MC ESR evaluations (Al v Ti–Li v Ti–H age assessments) indicate incomplete resetting of the bleachable Al centre signal for a small number of samples. Two-thirds of samples exhibit Ti–Li ages that are significantly older than corresponding Al centre ages, which is unexpected from a bleaching kinetics perspective and may indicate a broader reliability issue for Ti–Li palaeodose evaluation with these particular samples. Our findings: (i) support the applicability of both palaeodosimetric dating methods in this depositional setting; (ii) highlight the merits of applying combined ESR-OSL analyses in tandem, and; (iii) provide one of the first reliable evaluations of quartz ESR MC dating for samples with natural dose ranges as low as only a few tens of Gy. These results show that the Whale Bone, Specimen and Alexandra cave sites are temporally related and can be used to derive multi-site reconstructions of faunal assemblages and palaeoenvironmental history.     

贵州西北部基性侵入岩锆石U-Pb年代学、岩石地球化学特征 及其与铅锌成矿关系初探

贵州西北部发育多处基性侵入岩,总体规模较小(约0.25 Km2),多沿深大断裂侵位,出露于铅锌矿点外围,本文对猫猫厂、凉山两处矿点附近的儿马冲和白岩庆两地小型基性侵入岩进行了重点研究。侵入岩主要岩性为细粒辉长岩,造岩矿物主要为拉长石、普通辉石。SiO2范围为49.60-51.09 wt%,MgO从3.88-4.27 wt %,TiO2为3.69-3.85 wt %。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果为268.3±7.4 Ma,显示岩浆侵位于二叠纪。基性侵入岩的微量元素蛛网图呈OIB型特征,富集大离子亲石元素（LILE）、轻稀土元素（LREE）,亏损重稀土元素（HFEE）,相对亏损高场强元素（Nb,Ta）,有Sr、Y亏损,Pb富集。(87Sr/86Sr)i范围0.706749～0.707069,(143Nd/144Nd)i范围0.512313～0.512363,εNd(t)范围0.2～1.2;源区熔融深度处于石榴石橄榄岩相深度,可能经历了1-3 %的部分熔融,处于亏损石榴石二辉橄榄岩相向原始石榴石二辉橄榄岩相的过渡区。成岩过程中发生了单斜辉石、斜长石等矿物分离结晶,受到了有限的地壳混染作用,未经历明显的AFC过程。地壳物质在地幔源区中的加入可能是造成地幔富集的主要原因。侵入岩与成矿作用之间的关系,主要通过两方面所表现。一方面是二者间构造活动上的耦合性。另一方面是基性岩在成矿过程中可能发挥了重要的化学屏障层作用。     

云南鲁史三合洞组地层时代讨论

云南兰坪盆地三合洞组的时代存在争议,有早古生代和中生代两种观点。本文通过对云南鲁史上三叠统三合洞组和挖鲁八组岩石地层、古生物化石、微体化石及碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学研究,认为三合洞组时代为晚三叠世。本区三合洞组生物碎屑灰岩、泥晶灰岩及白云质灰岩与挖鲁八组炭质板岩呈整合接触关系,与歪古村组砂质板岩呈逆断层接触关系,整体表现为倒转地层。挖鲁八组炭质板岩中采获叉皱海燕蛤、虚海燕蛤等晚三叠世化石,而三合洞组灰岩中的小欣德牙形刺、奥泽克刺、滑梯螺、长卵形槽花介等微体化石时代也为晚三叠世。笔者从挖鲁八组粉砂岩中获得碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄,其最小年龄为218 Ma,指示挖鲁八组的最晚沉积时代为晚三叠世。综合生物化石和同位素年代学资料,认为兰坪盆地三合洞组的时代为晚三叠世。
