现代矿床学与地质思维

现代矿床学与经典矿床学既有联系,又有差别,属于一种突变式转变,引起地质学家在认识方面的某些重大变革.现代矿床学的形成及其思维形式,各家意见不一.本文仅就矿床学发展中出现的问题,提出一些看法和大家讨论.

MODERN METALLOGENY AND GEOLOGICAL THOUGHT

Emerging from the womb of the classical metallogeny, the modern one has its special features and deeply changes the mode and method of geological thoughtThe characteristics of modern metallogeny may be summarized as tollows:1. Evolution and motion view-point entered in the field of mineral deposits2. The influence of concept of "strata-bound deposits" is growing stronger day by day on the study ot ore deposits.3. Plate tectonics, isotope geology, geochemistry and other disciphnes deeply affect the theory and methods of metallogeny.4. Probing the macroscopic processes of mineraltzation is based upun the study of microcosmos and quantum theory is approaching the door of metallogeny and is certain to play an important role in researching ore deposits.5. Simulating experiments under condition of higher temperature and presure are applied to syntheses of ore minerals and migration of ore-forming elements, which means that metallogeny is just facing to end the time of simple observation science and to open the new era of experimental science.People must adapt their thinkng to the new-developed condition of metallogeny and a series new ideas, such as:1. The relation between macrocosm and microcosm.2. The relation between individual and colony.3. The relation between internal and external causes.4. The relation between sudden and gradual changes in the nature.5. Systematology, cybernetics and information thoughts applted to the study of mineral deposits.
