扬子克拉通北缘显生宙碎屑沉积岩Mo同位素初步研究及其地质意义

通过对扬子克拉通北缘西乡-碑坝小区寒武纪-侏罗纪碎屑沉积岩的Mo、Nd同位素进行测定, 结合微量元素数据分析, 结果表明, 该区寒武纪-侏罗纪碎屑沉积岩的d 98Mo变化范围在-0.65‰ ~ +1.87‰之间, eNd(t)变化范围在-1.46 ~ -10.90之间. 茅口组晚期一个样品(4820)具有相对偏正的δ⁹⁸Mo和ε_Nd(t)(0.97‰, -1.46), 有可能与二叠纪晚期峨眉山地幔柱的喷发过程中, 扬子克拉通北缘古海水中富集的大量硫化氢有关, 此时海水中的MoO₄^2-转变为MoS₄^2-, 并具有偏正的Mo同位素组成. 晚二叠世长兴期样品(4814)也具有明显偏正的δ⁹⁸Mo(1.87‰), 但eNd(t)相对偏负(-10.90), 并具有相对较高的总有机碳(TOC)含量和总硫含量(TS) (分别为1.52%, 2.02%), 暗示该时期具有较高的初级生产力和有机碳埋藏量, 似乎表明脱硫酸还原作用产生的大量HS^-, H₂S与同期海相沉积岩明显偏正的δ⁹⁸Mo有一定的耦合性. 研究显示, 古大陆边缘碎屑沉积岩的Mo同位素变化, 与区域构造活动及产生的环境效应存在一定的相关性, 可以作为指示区域古环境演化的有效示踪剂.     

Preliminary Mo isotope data of Phanerozoic clastic sediments from the northern margin of the Yangtze block and its implication for paleoenvironmental conditions

Mo isotopes along with Nd isotopes and other geochemical characteristics of the Phanerozoic clastic sediments from the northern margin of the Yangtze block were analyzed by MC-ICP-MS and some other techniques, spanning the period from Cambrian to Jurassic. The δ 98Mo values and εNd(t ) in these sedimets were observed to exhibit a large range of variation (?0.65‰―+1.87‰, ?1.46―?10.90, respec-tively). Specifically, the sample from Late Permian Maokou Formation has relatively positive values in both δ 98Mo and...
