Analysis of Karst Tufa from Guangxi, China

The paper presents an analysis of characteristic karst tufa from Guangxi, China, which has not been studied before. A comparison with tufa from Dinaric Karst of Croatia is discussed in view of the C-type climate. The major mineral is calcite. Minor minerals are quartz and dolomite, depending on location. The content of calcium carbonate varies from 65% to 92%, and that of magnesium carbonate from 0.03% to 1.77%. Among other elements, the most abundant are Fe, from 0.02% to 1.50%, and Ti, from 0.15% to 0.27%. Many other trace elements (V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Hg and Pb) are also present. Specific activity of radionuclides 40K, 232Th, 137Cs, 226Ra and 238U varies from sample to sample. Concentration of U in tufa is close to that reported for sedimentary carbonate. Low concentration of 137Cs indicates that this part of the world was not exposed to nuclear explosions. The concentration of 226Ra is the highest in Mashan County. The ratio 238U/226Ra (0.21-0.71) in tufa from Mashan Co     

攀西微古陆块的变质演化与地壳抬升史

攀枝花-西昌(攀西)微古陆块是扬子陆块西部最古老的地体. 代表其下地壳的岩石为中基性麻粒岩, 相应的麻粒岩相变质作用发生于1186~1128 Ma. 在地质年代方面, 麻粒岩的形成可能与Rodinia超大陆中各微古陆块汇聚的碰撞造山作用有关. 麻粒岩的角闪岩相退变质作用时代为877~825 Ma, 在时间上与Rodinia超大陆裂解的时代相吻合. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar和FT年代学研究表明, 自新元古代中至中生代, 古陆块的地壳垂直运动演化历史总体上表现为一种刚性地体的缓慢抬升过程. 新生代, 印度板块向欧亚板块的俯冲碰撞作用使青藏地块迅速隆起, 后者又向东作侧向挤压运动. 受此影响, 攀西微古陆块也快速抬升, 使得麻粒岩结晶基底最终出露地表.     

青藏高原1∶25万区域地质调查地貌年代学研究

高原隆升及剥蚀作用的复杂性与区域差异性以及高原恶劣的气候、地理条件,使得在青藏高原空白区1∶25万区域地质调查中进行地貌年代学研究具有很大的现实意义.由于地貌是高原隆升、环境演化、新构造运动等的信息载体,地貌年代有助于重塑这些地质作用的发生时间及发展过程,因此地貌年代学研究具有重要的技术意义.1∶25万银石山幅的工作表明,地貌年代学调查对高原隆升及环境演化过程研究具有良好效果.     

胶东招掖郭家岭型花岗岩锆石年代学及其Pb同位素特征

采用SHRIMP测年技术，精确地测定了郭家岭型花岗岩年龄为130-126Ma，主要金矿化在126-120Ma之间，郭家岭型花岗岩与金矿化关系最密切。岩体Pb同位素组成反映了本区所处构造背景。     

构造年代学——当今构造研究的一个新学科

以大别山高压超高压变质带构造年代学研究为例阐述了构造年代学。它是90年代以来构造地质学的一个新的分支学科。构造年代学研究内容和方法为：进行区域构造分析和典型地区构造解析；根据具体地质构造情况和研究目标的要求选择同位素年代测试方法和进行同位素年代的取样、选样和测试；通过综合分析和对比建立构造年代学时空格局。     

U—Series Dating of Fossil Bones：Results from Chinese Sites and Discussions on Its Reliability

Calculations,according to some open-system models,point out that while a statistically significant discrepancy between the results of two U-series methods,^230Th/^234U and ^227Th/^220Th(or ^231Pa/^235U),attests a relatively recent and important uranium migration,concordant dates cannot guarantee closes-system behavior of sample.The results of 20 fossil bones from 10 Chinese sites,19 of which are determined by two U-series methods,are given,Judging from independent age controls,8 out of the 11 concordant age sets are unacceptable,The results in this paper suggest that uranium may cycle into or out of fossil bones,such geochemical events may take place at any time and no known preserving condition may securely protect them from being affected.So for the sitew we have studied,the U-series dating of fossil bones is of limited reliability.
