Tectonic Significance of the Taitung Canyon, Huatung Basin, East of Taiwan

Since the beginning of formation of Proto-Taiwan, the subducting Philippine (PH) Sea plate has moved continuously through time in the N307° direction with respect to Eurasia (EU), tearing the EU plate. The subducting EU plate includes a continental part in the north and an oceanic part in the south. The boundary B between these two domains corresponds to the eastern prolongation of the northeastern South China Sea ocean-continent transition zone. In the Huatung Basin (east of Taiwan), the Taitung Canyon is N065° oriented and is close and parallel to B. Seismic profiles show that the southern flank of the canyon corresponds to a fault with a normal component of a few tens of meters in the sediments and possible dextral shearing. Several crustal earthquakes of magnitude >%6 are located beneath the trend of the Taitung Canyon and focal mechanisms suggest that the motion is right-lateral. Thus, faulting within the sedimentary sequence beneath the Taitung Canyon is a consequence of underlying dextral strike-slip crustal motions. As the continental part of the EU slab located north of B has been recently detached, some subsequent dextral strike-slip motion might be expected within the EU slab, along the ocean-continent transition zone, which is a potential zone of weakness. We suggest that the dextral strike-slip motion along the ocean-continent boundary of the EU slab might trigger the observed dextral strike-slip motion within the overlying PH Sea crust and the associated faulting within the sediments of the Huatung Basin, beneath the Taitung Canyon.

Seasonal variation of the total electron content, maximum electron density and equivalent slab thickness at a South-American station

Total electron content (TEC) and foF2 ionosonde data obtained at Tucumán (26.9°S; 65.4°W) from April 1982 to March 1983 (high solar activity period) are analyzed to show the seasonal variation of TEC, NmF2 (proportional to square of foF2) and the equivalent slab thickness EST. Bimonthly averages of the monthly median for January–February, April–May, July–August and October–November have been considered to represent summer, autumn, winter and spring seasons, respectively. The results show that the higher values of TEC and maximum electron density of F2-layer NmF2 are observed during the equinoxes (semiannual anomaly). During daytime, both in TEC and in NmF2 the seasonal or winter anomaly can be seen. At nighttime, this effect is not observed. Also, the observed NmF2 values are used to check the validity of International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) to predict the seasonal variability of this parameter. In general, it is found that averaged monthly medians (obtained with the IRI model) overestimate averaged monthly median data for some hours of the day and underestimate for the other hours.     

藏北双湖山字形山玄武岩锆石U-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及其地质意义

次对藏北双湖山字形山玄武岩进行了同位素年代学和岩石地球化学研究。锆石LA ICP MS U Pb测年结果表明,玄武岩形成时代为中三叠世Ladinian期((2358±27) Ma)。主量元素SiO2质量分数为4284%~5222%,TiO2为161%~269%,FeOT/MgO为152~194,属亚碱性系列拉斑玄武岩。稀土元素∑REE含量为11409×10-6~20847×10-6,(La/Yb)N为490~650,相对富集LREE。微量元素配分模式曲线与OIB型玄武岩相似。岩石成因研究表明岩浆在演化过程中主要受分离结晶作用控制,La/Nb、La/Ta、Zr/Ba等不相容元素比值与Ti含量表明,山字形山玄武岩可能是软流圈地幔与岩石圈地幔相互作用的产物。玄武岩较高的Zr含量与Zr/Y比值显示其处于板内伸展构造背景。结合区域地质资料推测,中三叠世玄武质岩浆是南、北羌塘地块碰撞造山过程中板片断离、软流圈物质上涌熔融的产物,而晚三叠世偏铝质-过铝质岩浆岩及高压变质岩折返剥露为造山带垮塌引起的伸展作用的结果。     

新疆阿尔泰山南缘泥盆纪弧型苦橄岩铂族元素地球化学特征及其地质意义

全球岛弧火山岩的铂族元素数据非常少。本研究对新疆阿尔泰山南缘中泥盆世北塔山组地层中的苦橄岩的铂族元素进行了分析,结果表明:其铂族元素的含量总体变化不大,其原始地幔标准化曲线总体上和已经报道的大西洋Lesser Antilles岛弧的G renada苦橄岩相似,均以富集钯组铂族元素(PPGE)为特征,但总体含量比后者高,而比大火成岩省的苦橄岩低。一些铂族元素的特征比值指示了苦橄岩和富辉玄武岩起源于软流圈地幔,而高的w(Os)/w(Ir)比值则暗示了源区中有深海沉积物的加入。w(Pd)/w(Ir)-w(N i)/w(Cu)图解说明本区的苦橄岩不是原始岩浆,而是原始的高镁玄武岩中有过剩橄榄石的加入,而w(Pd)-w(Cu)图解则说明原始岩浆硫不饱和。IPGE在俯冲带流体中相对稳定,而PPGE在俯冲带流体中的活动性相对较高。     

Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implications of the Latest Cretaceous Intrusive Rocks from the Eastern Gangdese Belt, Southeast Tibet

The latest Cretaceous magmatic activity in the eastern segment of the Lhasa terrane provides important insights for tracking the magma source and geodynamic setting of the eastern Gangdese batholith, eastward of eastern Himalayan Syntaxis. Detailed petrological, geochemical and geochronological studies of the intrusive rocks (monzodiorites and granodiorites) of the eastern Gangdese batholith are presented with monzodiorites and granodiorites giving zircon U–Pb crystallization dates of 70–66 Ma and 71–66 Ma with εHf(t) values of ?4.8 to +6.2 and ?1.9 to +5.3, respectively. These rocks are metaluminous to weakly peraluminous I-type granites showing geochemically arc-related features of enrichment in LREEs and some LILEs, e.g., Rb, Th, and U, and depletion in HREEs and some HFSEs, e.g., Nb, Ta, and Ti. The rocks are interpreted to be derived from partial melting of mantle material and juvenile crust, respectively, which are proposed to be triggered by Neo-Tethyan slab rollback during northward subduction, with both experiencing ancient crustal contamination. The studied intrusive rocks formed in a transitional geodynamic setting caused by Neo-Tethyan oceanic flat subduction to slab rollback beneath the eastern Gangdese belt during the latest Cretaceous.     

东天山卡拉塔格钠质火山岩岩石学、地球化学及成因

东天山卡拉塔格早泥盆世卡拉塔格组火山岩主要岩性为海相富钠质的安山岩、流纹岩和英安岩，夹少量的钠质玄武安山岩和钠质玄武岩以及正常系列的玄武安山岩。钠质火山岩的特征是：Na2O=1．69～6．38％，Na2O／K，O〉1，多在2～100间：无论是斑晶还是基质，斜长石均为富钠长石；酸性岩石斑晶主要是钠长石和石英，中基性岩石斑晶主要是钠长石（少量更长石）：酸性岩以斑状结构、霏细结构、球粒结构为主，而中基性岩以交织结构、玻晶交织结构为主。各类岩石全岩化学分析计算结果均含标准矿物Q、Hy、Hm，一部分含Di或C，在TAS图上全都投于亚碱性区；∑REE=25、96-96．11ppm，LaN／YbN=1．68-5．32，Eu／E^＊=0．46-1．25，LaN／SmN=1．01-2．95；强不相容元素适度富集，Nb和Ta强烈亏损，部分样品Cs、Rb、K、Zr和Hf适度亏损。这些特征表明，该区钠质火山岩的原始岩浆可能来自富钠俯冲洋壳熔体与地幔楔岩石反应的产物部分熔融。这样的岩浆形成机制与前人有关卡拉塔格是早泥盆世岛弧的认识相一致。
