Th-and U-bearing minerals in the SE Mediterranean margin of Spain

This paper presents the first specific study of the Th-and U-bearing minerals, which were recently found in the SE Mediterranean margin of Spain (El Hoyazo area,Almeria province). These minerals are REE phosphates (mainly monazite) which occur as amoeboidal-to-elongate inclusions,from around 10 120μm to 120μm, hosted in single garnet crystals from dacite lavas and metamorphic rocks from the El Hoyazo Volcanic Complex. Th and U contents are higher than 1 wt%, with 3.04 to 5.62wt% for Th02, and 0.7 to 1.75 wt% for UO2. Both elements are also found in xenotime (ThO2:0.24,UO2:0.27wt%). Given that the erosion of the volcanic source rocks has generated a “placer-type” deposit of monazite sands and that garnets (main carriers of monazite) are being commercialised, an environmental monitoring and management plan should be urgently executed in the area.     

洛坝铅锌矿床的构造演化分析

洛坝铅锌矿床位于黄诸关韧脆性变形带所波及的范围内,断裂、褶皱、劈理、节理等形态构造类型均很发育,经对小型构造的统计及应力场分析证明,矿区变形主要是在海西—印支期长期存在的南北向古应力场持续作用下形成的。     

武夷山脉中段晚太古代宇宙尘特征

武夷山脉中段晚太古代宇宙尘赋存于上太古界天井坪组。粒度一般为0．15-0.2mm，最大0.32mm，最小0.042mm,形态呈单球体、不规则形或碎片状，以前者为主。在扫描电镜下表面具烧蚀、蜂巢状气印、气孔状、刺(瘤)突趁、晶洞及偏心双层等结构。宇宙尘由内核和熔壳组成；内核是自然铁(a-Fe)，含Fe、Cr、Ni、Co等元素；熔壳是磁铁矿或方铁矿，除Fe外尚含Si、Al、Cr、Mn、S等元素：根据其结构、构造组成和物质成分的综合分析结果，并与国内文献资料进行对比，本区宇宙尘可能是铁陨石在大气中的消融物或在太空中的碎裂物。
