The genetic relationship between hydrocarbon systems and Mississippi Valley-type Zn–Pb deposits along the SW margin of Sichuan Basin,China

The Chipu Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) deposit is located on the southwest (SW) margin of the Sichuan Basin. Occurrence of plentiful organic matter (bitumen) at this deposit and abundant hydrocarbon reservoirs in the SW Sichuan Basin implies a link between lead–zinc mineralization and hydrocarbon systems in this area. The high δ³⁴S values of most metal sulphides from the different ore stages suggest that H₂S-bearing gases and/or thermochemical sulphate reduction (TSR) by organic matter could have been the source of reduced sulphur involved in ore formation. Sulphides with small positive to negative δ³⁴S values can be attributed to organically bound sulphur at the Chipu deposit. Carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions from sparry carbonates suggest mixing of organic carbon with seawater-derived carbon in the mineralization process. From the early to the later ore stages, δ¹³C_PDB values of ore-hosting carbonates are increasingly more negative, which indicates strengthening of the TSR role during mineralization. Hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in fluid inclusions in the quartz gangue indicate the provenance of the ore-forming fluids in the hydrocarbons. Moreover, some extremely low hydrogen isotope values suggest the addition of hydrogen from the same source. The low H/C ratios and high non-hydrocarbon component of the bitumen (Zhang et al. 2010 Zhang, C.Q., Yu, J.J., Mao, J.W., Yu, H. and Li, H.M. 2010. Research on the biomarker from Chipu Pb-Zn Deposit, Sichuan. Acta Sedimentologica Sinica, 28: 832–844. v.p.in Chinese with English abstract [Google Scholar]) also suggest that the organic matter may have been involved in TSR and subjected to a strong oxidation by ore-bearing fluids. This study attempts to explain the lead–zinc mineralization process and the role of organic matter in it. As there is a demonstrable relationship between the evolution of the hydrocarbons and regional lead–zinc mineralization along the SW edge of the Sichuan Basin, we propose a possible model in which the MVT mineralization coincided with the degradation of hydrocarbon reservoirs due to the large-scale migration of basinal fluids, most likely driven by the late Indosinian orogeny in response to the closure of the Palaeo-Tethys Ocean.     

Melt–peridotite interaction in the shallow lithospheric mantle of the North China Craton: evidence from melt inclusions in the quartz-bearing orthopyroxene-rich websterite from Hannuoba

To better understand the origin, migration, and evolution of melts in the lithospheric mantle and their roles on the destruction of the North China Craton (NCC), we conducted a petrological and geochemical study on a quartz-bearing orthopyroxene-rich websterite xenolith from Hannuoba, the NCC, and its hosted melt and fluid inclusions. Both clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene in the xenolith contain lots of primary and secondary inclusions. High-temperature microthermometry of melt inclusions combined with Raman spectroscopy analyses of coexisting fluid inclusions shows that the entrapment temperature of the densest inclusions was ~1215°C and the pressure ~11.47 kbar, corresponding to a depth of ~38 km, i.e. within the stability of the spinel lherzolite. Intermediate pressure inclusions probably reflect progressive fluid entrapment over a range of depths during ascent, whereas the low-pressure inclusions (P < 2 kbar) may represent decrepitated primary inclusions. In situ laser-ablation ICP-MS analyses of major and trace elements on individual melt inclusions show that the compositions of these silicate melt inclusions in clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene are rich in SiO₂, Al₂O₃, and alkalis but poor in TiO₂ and strongly enriched in light rare earth elements (LREEs) and large ion lithophile elements (LILEs), with negative anomalies of high-field strength elements (HFSEs). These characteristics suggest that the silica-rich melts could be derived from the partial melting of subducted oceanic slab. Therefore, this kind of quartz-bearing orthopyroxene-rich websterite may be produced by interaction between the slab-derived melts with the mantle peridotite. This study provides direct evidence for the origin, migration, and evolution of melts in the lithospheric mantle, which may play an important role in the destruction of the NCC.

Highly Oxidized Magma and Fluid Evolution of Miocene Qulong Giant Porphyry Cu‐Mo Deposit,Southern Tibet,China

The Miocene Qulong porphyry Cu‐Mo deposit, which is located at the Gangdese orogenic belt of Southern Tibet, is the largest porphyry‐type deposit in China, with confirmed Cu ～10 Mt and Mo ～0.5 Mt. It is spatially and temporally associated with multiphase granitic intrusions, which is accompanied by large‐scale hydrothermal alteration and mineralization zones, including abundant hydrothermal anhydrite. In addition to hydrothermal anhydrite, magmatic anhydrite is present as inclusions in plagioclase, interstitial minerals between plagioclase and quartz, and phenocrysts in unaltered granodiorite porphyry, usually in association with clusters of sulfur‐rich apatite in the Qulong deposit. These observations indicate that the Qulong magma‐hydrothermal system was highly oxidized and sulfur‐rich. Three main types of fluid inclusions are observed in the quartz phenocrysts and veins in the porphyry: (i) liquid‐rich; (ii) polyphase high‐salinity; and (iii) vapor‐rich inclusions. Homogenization temperatures and salinities of all type inclusions decrease from the quartz phenocrysts in the porphyry to hydrothermal veins (A, B, D veins). Microthermometric study suggests copper‐bearing sulfides precipitated at about 320–400°C in A and B veins. Fluid boiling is assumed for the early stage of mineralization, and these fluids may have been trapped at about 35–60 Mpa at 460–510°C and 28–42 Mpa at 400–450°C, corresponding to trapping depths of 1.4–2.4 km and 1.1–1.7 km, respectively.

Ecological significance of alkaline phosphatase activity and phosphatase-hydrolyzed phosphorus in the northern part of Gamak Bay, Korea

We investigated the ecological significance of alkaline phsophatase (APase) and alkaline phosphatase-hydrolyzable phosphorus (APHP) in the northern part of Gamak Bay, Korea. APase activity was detectable throughout the year, and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) concentration and APase activity are highly correlated and can be regarded as an indicator of DIP-limiting conditions. Also, a strong linear positive correlation between APase activity and Chl a concentration indicated that the major part of APase activity may have been induced by phytoplanktons. The APHP proportion in dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) was above ca. 30% from winter to spring and below ca. 15% from summer to autumn due to freshwater discharge and uptake by phytoplankton. APHP may play an important role in species competition in coastal area such as northern part of Gamak Bay where DIP is limiting. Thus, APase induction by phytoplanktons may be ecologically significant, allowing dominance by these organisms under DIP-limiting conditions.     

Evolution of animal multicellularity stimulated by dissolved organic carbon in early Ediacaran ocean: DOXAM hypothesis

Oxygenation of the ocean is presumed to be an important factor stimulating the evolution of multicellular animals. The appearance of the Ediacaran‐type biota (ca 575 Ma) was assigned to the aftermath of the Gaskiers glaciation (ca 580 Ma), when substantial oceanic oxygenation is believed to have started. However, several lines of evidence reveal that at least sponges evolved before this oxygenation. For understanding the first stage of animal evolution, we propose the hypothesis that Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) Stimulated the evolution for Animal Multicellularity (DOXAM). Recent geochemical studies of the Ediacaran sedimentary sequences have indicated that a substantial DOC mass was developed in the stratified ocean after the Marinoan glaciation (655–635 Ma), and this was supported by the inorganic and organic carbon isotope profiles of the Doushantuo Formation in South China. The DOC mass was an oxygen consumer in the water column; however, it could have provided a food source for filter‐feeding animals such as sponges and cnidarians, and established a primitive food‐web. Such an ecological structure is recognized in modern deep‐sea coral mounds. Results from the integrated ocean drilling program (IODP) Expedition 307 for a mound in northeastern Atlantic suggested that organic carbon suspended around the density boundary in the water column is the key feature to feed the heterotrophic deep‐sea coral community. Our hypothesis is consistent with the fact that the two most primitive animal phyla (Porifera and Cnidaria) are filter feeders. The evolution of filter feeding ecosystems removed the DOC mass and may have contributed to ocean oxygenation in the terminal Neoproterozoic when animal evolution passed into the second stage, with the appearance of bilaterians.

地质样品正构烷烃组分分离纯化的部分问题探究

用实验室自配的标准正构烷烃样品分别经硅胶或氧化铝柱层析后发现,等量溶剂洗脱的情况下硅胶对长链正构烷烃无吸附而氧化铝具有一定吸附性。进一步通过用植物样品测试4种层析柱填充方法,发现不论是只用氧化铝填充还是上部硅胶下部氧化铝和上部氧化铝下部硅胶,都会对长链正构烷烃产生一定的吸附,且这种吸附效果随着碳链的增长而增强。在实验条件下,当碳链加长到C36时,用硅胶加氧化铝填充层析柱的吸附量已达到20%左右,而只用氧化铝填充层析柱的吸附量则高达50%。故建议对研究高碳数正构烷烃的地质样品组分提取时用单一的硅胶柱层析方法。同时,实验显示对于一些杂质多的正构烷烃样品经过尿素络合后比络合前"干净"得多。18个黄土-古土壤和植物样品平均回收率为50%左右,经过尿素络合后的样品正构烷烃各组分相对含量基本不会发生改变,也不会产生明显的同位素分馏效应。因此在进行非正构组分干扰较大的正构烷烃各组分相对含量或同位素分析时,可以选择尿素络合的方法来将其纯化。
