大连金石滩现代沉积中首次发现宇宙球粒

金石滩是大连地区的国家级风景旅游地,在玫瑰园景点的现代沉积物研究中,首次发现了铁质宇宙球粒,而且含量较多,在2.4 kg(<0.5 mm)的砂样中分离出18个宇宙球粒,其大小介于158～423μm,大多数宇宙球粒的表面具有典型的融熔-分凝构造,按其表面化学成分可分为:Fe质、Si-Al-Fe质、Cr-Fe质和Ti-Fe质等4种;笔者特别对其中的Ti-Fe质宇宙颗粒的成分及矿物演变进行了研究,认为宇宙球粒快速冷凝化学分异可在磁铁矿边缘形成钛磁铁矿;对大连、西藏泽当现代沉积物中、太平洋深海现代沉积物中,以及北京十三陵元古宙沉积岩中的宇宙球粒进行了比较,结果表明它们在化学成分上虽有差别,但在颗粒大小和表面结构上是类似的。     

通安-小关河元古代碰撞缝合线的发现及其地质意义

在四川南部地区发现了从通安延伸到小关河的蛇绿混杂带,它可能代表了元古代的一条碰撞缝合带。这条东西延伸的缝合带的证据是:1.残留洋壳经消减、冲断形成的蛇绿混杂带;2.该带两侧的地层有明显的差异;3.强烈变形的冲断褶皱带;4.变质程度在两侧有明显的不同;5.有类似于阿巴拉契亚山带的夹心糕式模式,依次为南部的被动边缘的俯冲表壳岩系、中间的蛇绿混杂带和北部的上冲基底。上述证据说明通安-小关河蛇绿混杂带代表了两个陆壳地质体的碰撞缝合带,碰撞事件的年龄大约为距今1000Ma。     

Detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology of stromatolitic carbonates from the greenstone belts of Dharwar Craton and Cuddapah basin of Peninsular India

Oldest rocks are sparsely distributed within the Dharwar Craton and little is known about their involvement in the sedimentary sequences which are present in the Archean greenstone successions and the Proterozoic Cuddapah basin.Stromatolitic carbonates are well preserved in the Neoarchean greenstone belts of Dharwar Craton and Cuddapah Basin of Peninsular India displaying varied morphological and geochemical characteristics.In this study,we report results from U-Pb geochronology and trace element composition of the detrital zircons from stromatolitic carbonates present within the Dharwar Craton and Cuddapah basin to understand the provenance and time of accretion and deposition.The UPb ages of the detrital zircons from the Bhimasamudra and Marikanve stromatolites of the Chitradurga greenstone belt of Dharwar Craton display ages of 3426±26 Ma to 2650±38 Ma whereas the Sandur stromatolites gave an age of 3508±29 Ma to 2926±36 Ma suggesting Paleo-to Neoarchean provenance.The U-Pb detrital zircons of the Tadpatri stromatolites gave an age of 2761±31 Ma to1672±38 Ma suggesting Neoarchean to Mesoproterozoic provenance.The Rare Earth Element(REE)patterns of the studied detrital zircons from Archean Dharwar Craton and Proterozoic Cuddapah basin display depletion in light rare earth elements(LREE)and enrichment in heavy rare earth elements(HREE)with pronounced positive Ce and negative Eu anomalies,typical of magmatic zircons.The trace element composition and their relationship collectively indicate a mixed granitoid and mafic source for both the Dharwar and Cuddapah stromatolites.The 3508±29 Ma age of the detrital zircons support the existence of 3.5 Ga crust in the Western Dharwar Craton.The overall detrital zircon ages(3.5-2.7 Ga)obtained from the stromatolitic carbonates of Archean greenstone belts and Proterozoic Cuddapah basin(2.7-1.6 Ga)collectively reflect on^800-900 Ma duration for the Precambrian stromatolite deposition in the Dharwar Craton.

Dominant Lid Tectonics behaviour of continental lithosphere in Precambrian times:Palaeomagnetism confirms prolonged quasi-integrity and absence of supercontinent cycles

Although Plate Tectonics cannot be effectively tested by palaeomagnetism in the Precambrian aeon due to the paucity of high precision poles spanning such a long time period,the possibility of Lid Tectonics is eminently testable because it seeks accordance of the wider dataset over prolonged intervals of time;deficiencies and complexities in the data merely contribute to dispersion.Accordance of palaeomagnetic poles across a quasi-integral continental crust for time periods of up to thousands of millions of years,together with recognition of very long intervals characterised by minimal polar motions(～2.6-2.0,～1.5-1.25 and～0.75-0.6 Ga)has been used to demonstrate that Lid Tectonics dominated this aeon.The new PALEOMAGIA database is used to refine a model for the Precambrian lid incorporating a large quasiintegral crescentric core running from South-Central Africa through Laurentia to Siberia with peripheral cratons subject to reorganisation at～2.1,～1.6 and～1.1 Ga.The model explains low levels of tidal friction,reduced heat balance,unique petrologic and isotopic signatures,and the prolonged crustal stability of Earth's"Middle Age",whilst density concentrations of the palaeomagnetic poles show that the centre of the continental lid was persistently focussed near Earth's rotation axis from～2.8 to 0.6 Ga.The exception was the～2.7-2.2 Ga interval defined by～90°polar movements which translated the periphery of the lid to the rotation pole for this quasi-static period,a time characterised by glaciation and low levels of magmatic activity;the～2.7 Ga shift correlates with key interval of mid-Archaean crustal growth to some 60-70%of the present volume and REE signatures whilst the～2.2 Ga shift correlates with the Lomagundiδ～(13)C and Great Oxygenation events.The palaeomagnetic signature of breakup of the lid at～0.6 Ga is recorded by the world-wide Ediacaran development of passive margins and associated environmental signatures of new ocean basins.This event defined the end of a dominant Lid Tectonic phase in the history of Earth's continental lithosphere recorded by the quasi-integral Precambrian supercontinent Palaeopangaea and the beginning of the comprehensive Plate Tectonics which has characterised the Phanerozoic aeon.Peripheral modifications to the lid achieved a symmetrical and hemispheric shape in Neoproterozoic times comparable to the familiar short-lived supercontinent(Neo)Pangaea(～350-150 Ma)and this appears to be the sole supercontinent cycle recorded by the palaeomagnetic record.Prolonged integrity of a large continental nucleus accompanied by periodic readjustments of peripheral shields can reconcile divergent tectonic analyses of Precambrian times which on the one hand propose multiple Wilson Cycles to explain some signatures of Plate Tectonics,and alternative interpretations which consider that Plate Tectonics did not commence until the end of the Neoproterozoic.

北京十三陵中元古代1.8Ga和1.6Ga的铁质宇宙球粒研究

北京十三陵中元古代常州沟组底部的粗砂岩（1.8 Ga）和大红峪组硅化碳酸盐岩（1.6 Ga）中都发现了众多铁质宇宙球粒。大多数未喷膜的二次电子像宇宙球粒是圆形的,少数呈长条状,由于在大气层中熔融作用,多数球粒表面具有金相饰纹和“排气”孔洞。使用电子探针分析对30个颗粒中44个测点的检测结果（%）:FeO 80～95,Cr2 O30.78～6.56,NiO 0.06～0.41,CoO 0.02～0.46。相对比较Cr2O3 在常州沟组中较多一些,而FeO在大红峪组中稍多一些。宇宙球粒的氦同位素分析值却截然不同;3He/4He×10-8分别为:57.50±2.16（常州沟组）和1.23±0.43（大红峪组）;4He×10-8 cm3STP/g分别为:55.54（常州沟组）和809.6（大红峪组）;然而宇宙球粒的氦同位测定值都比各自的母岩高出许多;氦同位素的异常为所发现的宇宙球粒的地外来源更加确定。     

华北克拉通南部古元古界熊耳群大古石组碎屑岩的地球化学特征及其地质意义

华北克拉通南部熊耳—中条拗拉谷中广泛发育的古元古界熊耳群火山岩,是华北克拉通结晶基底形成后规模最大、涉及范围最广的火山活动产物,以火山熔岩占绝对优势,沉积岩和火山碎屑岩主要分布在大古石组及马家河组,仅占地层总厚度的43%。本文从沉积学角度,探讨熊耳群火山岩的形成环境及其构造背景。底部大古石组碎屑岩主要由一套砂砾岩、砂岩和泥质岩组成。其岩相学特征表明大古石组自下而上的沉积相为河流相—湖泊相—河流相。自下而上对比大古石组剖面中碎屑岩的地球化学数据(Sr、Ga、V)及相应比值(Sr/Ba、Th/U、Zr/Rb),认为大古石组碎屑岩以陆相沉积(河流相和湖泊相)为主,但中后期伴有海侵作用。通过对其泥质岩的主、微量元素地球化学特征的研究,认为大古石组碎屑岩主要来源于花岗质成分,但混有一定量的基性物质;源岩以太古宙地层为主,可能有古元古代地层的加入,经历了中等程度的风化作用,并快速堆积形成的。大古石组碎屑岩形成于被动大陆边缘环境,代表了古元古代末华北克拉通伸展—裂解事件的开始;熊耳群火山岩则是在被动大陆边缘的裂谷环境发育形成的。     

内蒙大青山地区早前寒武纪高级变质岩系特征和变质动力学

本文根据岩石组合、原岩建造、构造、岩浆事件,以及同位素年龄等资料的分析,认为内蒙大青山地区高级变质岩系由太古代和早元古代两个变质岩系组成。通过变质矿物组合的转变,讨论了它们的变质作用演化过程,太古代麻粒岩相变质与区域热流异常增高有关,早元古代高级变质起因于造山作用。它们是两次构造性质明显不同的麻粒岩事件。     

赣东北-皖南元古代造山带构造格架及演化

赣东北-皖南元古代造山带位于扬子板块南缘江南造山带东段,经历了晋宁早期俯冲和晚期碰撞两个造山阶段,自北而南可划分为九岭褶皱变形区、鄣公山构造混杂岩带、江山-绍兴对接带,其间均以区域性构造带相隔,变形强度依次增强,中元古代变质地层分属于史密斯、有限史密斯、非史密斯地层范畴,难以建立总体地层层序而区别于传统的“史密斯”地层;同时,该套地层又形成于元古代扬子、华夏两板块的张开-闭合过程中的统一大地构造背景下,存在着一定的必然联系而有别于“地体构造”、“构造混杂岩”;依据地层组成结合岩石化学研究,在“构造混杂岩”基础上建立了“双列岛弧”的“沟弧盆体系”模式。
