砂岩中重矿物的成因意义

砂岩形成过程中,不同的物源区、构造演化、风化剥蚀、古地貌与古气候以及古环境等多种因素都会影响其重矿物的分布,因此,研究砂岩中重矿物的分布特征,对于物源、构造演化和沉积环境的分析有着重大的意义。通过查阅文献和资料整理等方法,笔者对砂岩中重矿物组合特征、分布规律、重矿物特征指数、物化性质、含量变化等在物源分析、构造演化响应、指示沉积环境等方面的研究意义进行了综述和整理。笔者认为:复杂地质工作中,砂岩沉积物分析研究应结合其重矿物成因意义,进行总体评价和综合研究,将会得到更接近地质事实的结论。如物源分析方面除了综合考虑重矿物特征以及重矿物特征指数外,还应运用判别图解;重矿物信息的综合分析研究是反演盆地的构造活动是一种非常有效的手段;砂岩中重矿物的组合特征、分布规律和物化性质等可为反演其沉积环境提供有效的依据。

Genetic Significance of Heavy Minerals in Sandstone

This paper believes that distribution of heavy minerals in sandstone is related to provenance, tectonic evolution, weathering and erosion, ancient landform and paleoclimate, therefore, research on distribution of heavy minerals in sandstone is of great importance to the analysis of provenance, tectonic evolution and sedimentary environment of sandstone. In addition to genetic significance of heavy minerals themselves, comprehensive research into information on heavy minerals in sandstone is a very effective method for the inversion of tectonic activity of a basin. Physical and chemical property, association and distribution of heavy minerals may provide important bases for the inversion of sedimentary environment of sandstone.
