Raman microspectrometry, FT-IR and inclusion characteristics of gem garnets from Tanzania and Madagascar

Chemical composition, Raman microspectrometry, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-1R) and SEM-CL (Cathodluminescence) analyses are carried out for Tanzania and Madagascar garnets for locality identification. Inclusion study was sustained after electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Needle-like illmenites, apatites and zircons were the most common solid inclusions in Tanzania garnets. Madagascar garnets revealed rutile needles and apatites were also observed, but differences in size, shape and distribution patterns were noticed compared to Tanzania garnets. Tanzania garnets exhibited all types of observable fluid inclusions such as ““ fingerprint““ pattern, called Type Ⅰ-A, liquid-only (L) single phase fluid inclusion, called Type Ⅰ-B and Type Ⅱ-A ( L S), Type Ⅱ-B ( L V) and Type Ⅲ-A (L Sylvite even if all examined garnets from three localities retained ““fingerprint““ features, so called, partially healed fractures, in common. Chemical composition, Raman microspectrometry and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis taken turned out to be useful methods for the purpose of this study. Using consequences of SEM-CL and inclusion study, accordingly, the locality identification of gem-quality garnets is capable of being available in further application for other kinds of gemstones.     

湘西北地区铅锌矿床成矿规律及找矿方向

湘西北地区以盛产层控型低温热卤水铅锌矿床著称。矿床赋存于早寒武世晚期至早奥陶世早期分别受台地边缘相、台前斜坡相和局限台地相控制的碳酸盐地层中。矿体主要呈层状、似层状且具多层性,局部可切层,少数呈脉状。其产出受岩石的原生孔隙和容矿层内构造如虚脱—滑动空间、破碎带及裂隙系统等多因素控制。深大断裂带为主要导矿构造。容矿层不是矿源层,铅锌矿不存在同生沉积特征或痕迹。铅同位素年龄晚于赋矿地层年龄。矿质主要来源于碳酸盐建造以下的一大套碎屑岩建造,部分来自深部和造山带。矿床无围岩蚀变则无铅锌矿化,矿化富集强度与多类型围岩蚀变强度及层内构造空间发育程度呈正相关关系。该地区成矿地质条件优越,在划分出的4个找矿远景区内,许多低工作程度区和找矿空白区里仍具有巨大的找矿潜力,可望找到新的矿床。     

柴达木盆地东北缘古元古代变质镁铁—超镁铁质岩的地质特征及成因探讨

1:5万区域地质调查工作中,在柴达木陆块北缘首次发现古元古代变质镁铁—超镁铁质岩,获得成岩年龄为1952±15Ma,其岩石化学、地球化学特征反映出岩浆来源于亏损地幔,反映出该地区克拉通在古元古代(19亿年)发生了一次强烈的裂解(洋)事件,对于研究柴达木盆地北缘元古代结晶基底地质构造演化及进一步探讨柴达木盆地的起源及构造演化过程提供了重要地质线索。     

辽南庄河地区辽河群正向滑脱构造变形特征及其找矿意义

辽南庄河地区辽河群变形型式独特。由于群内分层剪切作用，岩层构造置换强烈，伸展构造形迹发育，变形特征清楚，属正向韧脆性滑脱构造系统的上盘组成部分。其运动方向由北东而南西，形成时间早于中生代。不同级别的滑脱面构造，由于晚期构造作用影响，在早期韧脆性变形的基础上叠加了脆性变形，形成构造角砾岩带。沿角砾岩带蚀变普遍，金元素及其伴生元素含量明显高于两侧围岩，个别地段可达工业品位，构成矿体。因而，在辽河群出露区域鉴别同类型构造，沿滑脱面寻找受破碎带控制的蚀变构造岩型金矿，具有重要的找矿意义。
