流体动力角砾岩分类及其地质意义

根据流体产生异常高压,并在一定条件下分别发生爆发作用、流化作用及水压作用原理,认为从爆发作用到水压作用可分别形成爆发角砾岩系列、流化角砾岩系列及水压角砾岩系列。研究了上述三类流体动力角砾岩的相互关系、鉴别标志及亚类划分。指出异常高压流体在一定条件下既可向增压方向发展,也可向降压方向演化,并以研究实例说明流体动力角砾岩系列岩石的地质作用过程包括爆发作用、流体作用及水压作用三个阶段之一或二或三。     

Remarkable Cave,Tasmania

At Remarkable Cave, southern Tasmania, Triasssic sedimentary rocks are intruded by Jurassic dolerite to form a sheet-like body of unknown thickness to the east of and below Remarkable Cave. The sedimentary rocks near sea-level at Remarkable Cave show deformation and flow structures, and are composed of recrystallised predominantly quartz and feldspar with some darker alteration minerals and zeolite in the more massive parts of the recrystallised rock. The deformation was caused by the intrusion of dolerite. At the top of the sheet-like body to the east of Remarkable Cave there is rheomorphic veining into the dolerite following joint fractures. The dolerite is locally transgressive. In Remarkable Cave, dolerite must occur just below the floor of the cave to heat the sedimentary rocks to much higher temperatures than typical contact aureoles in the area, supporting a local feeder geometry, or compositional control.
