喜马拉雅山起源于小岛屿

喜马拉雅山脉包含着珠穆朗玛峰等数百座世界上最高的山峰,"喜马拉雅"这个名字来自梵文,意思是"冰雪之乡"。但是喜马拉雅山的大部分高耸的山峰都曾经是太阳照射下泛着粼粼波光的海洋。这是地质学家早就证实了的,但最近一项发表在《美国地质学会通报》上的研究成果则强调了沧海桑田的过程,论文的第一作者、休斯敦大学的苏哈勃·科韩说:"事实上,这些小岛就位于现在的山脉的边缘,因此你可以从岩床走到这些小岛的海底沉积物上,这种现象令人难以置信。"

哀牢山与右江西部海西——印支期火山岩和板块构造环境

哀牢山和右江西部是华南板块古大陆边缘海西—印支期火山活动最频繁的地区之一。文章通过对该区火山岩的岩石学和地球化学综合分析,认为火山岩产于洋盆裂谷系、被动大陆边缘裂谷系、不成熟岛弧和弧后盆地裂谷系四种不同的板块构造环境中。有意义的是古特提斯洋板块相对华南板块于海西期扩张和印支期俯冲,哀牢山和右江西部的火山岩和板块构造环境出现相对应的同步演化关系。

塔里木盆地中部二叠系火山岩地层的划分与对比

根据火山岩的岩性及电性特征,对塔里木盆地中部(简称塔中)地区下二叠统火山岩地层进行了划分与对比。结果表明,以岩流组作为该区火山岩地层划分对比单元,确定了塔中地区西部有6期火山喷发,中部有4期火山喷发,东部无火山喷发。该区二叠纪火山以断裂式喷发为主,火山活动由西北向东南逐渐减弱。火山通道和伴生裂缝是油气运移的良好通道。塔中地区二叠系火山岩油气藏类型有古潜山型和超覆披覆型。     

SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating for Qiashikansayi granodiorite, the Northern Altyn Tagh Mountains and its geological implications

The Qiashikansayi granodiorite is foliated resulting in a granodioritic gneiss. Its geochemical features, such as alumina saturation index(A/CNK) of 0.81-0.99, Na2O/K2O values>1, TiO2 contents <1.0%, LREE enrichment with high fractionation factors, weakly negative or no Eu anomalies, and significant Ba and Ti negative anomalies, suggest that it is similar to a typical island arc pluton. The trace elements of the Qiashikansayi granodiorite are plotted in the island arc field in the tectonic setting discrimination diagrams as well. Cathodoluminescence images demonstrated that the zircons have clear rhythmic crystallized zoning, without any remnant core and new crystallized rim, suggesting the zircons be magmatic ones. Their U and Th contents vary in the range of 574-870 μg/g, and 279-556μg/g respectively, with the Th/U ratio in the range of 0.52-0.68. SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating yielded the 481.5±5.3 Ma age for the intrusion of the granodiorite, which is coeval with the island arc volcanic rocks in the no     

The zircon SHRIMP chronology and trace element geochemistry of the Carboniferous volcanic rocks in western Tianshan Mountains

The genesis of the Carboniferous volcanic rocks in the Dahalajunshan group, mainly consisting of trachytes and trachy-andesites and distributing widely in western Tianshan Mountains, remains to be controversial. It has been proposed to be relevant to “rift” or “plume”. Detailed petrology and geochemical data presented in this paper show that these volcanic rocks represent typical continental arc magmatism. The volcanic rocks are mainly trachy-andesitic, and the magma source is enriched in LILE, Th and Pb, and depleted in HFSE and Ce. Trace element geochemical study suggests that the basalts could be modeled by 7% -11% partial melt of garnet Iherzolite. The volcanic rocks in the Dahalajunshan group are neither the products of “rift” nor so-called “plume”but represent the continental island arc of the Paleo-Southern Tianshan Ocean. The mantle wedge had been modified by the melt generating in subduction zone during a long evolution history of this island arc. The continental crust materials （i.e. mainly sediment on ocean floor） had been added into island arc through melt in subduction zone. Volcanic rocks occurring in different regions might represent magma eruption in different time. The zircon SHRIMP dating indicates that the ages of the basalt varies between 334.0 Ma and 394.9 Ma. The 13 analyses give an average age of 353.7±4.5 Ma （MSWD = 1.7）. The apparent ages of zircons in trachy-andesite vary between 293.0 Ma and 465.4 Ma. All analyses fall on the U-Pb concordant line and are divided into two groups. 8 analyses produce an average age of 312.8±4.2 Ma （MSWD = 1.7）, which represents the crystallizing age of zircon rims in trachy-andesite. The acquired two ages （i.e. 354 and 313 Ma） belong to the Early Carboniferous and Late Carboniferous epochs, respectively. Thus, the Dahalajunshan group would be separated into several groups with the accumulation of high-quality age dating and data of trace element and isotopic geochemistry, in our opinion.     

The 4700 aB.P. volcanic signal detected in Vostok BH8 ice core, Antarctica

The detailed electrical conductivity measuremerit （ECM）, trace chemical compositions and microparticles concentration analysis are performed for BH8 ice core from the depth of 126.0m to 130.0m at Vostok Station. At depth 128.7m, a volcanic signal 4726 a B.P. is detected. The volcanic sulphate flux is 95.8 kg·km^-2, sulphate peak concentration 1352.8 ng·g^-1, duration time about 10.1 years, comparable with some well-known volcanic events. The results indicate that it seems to be a relatively large scale, long lasting volcanic signal with farther volcanic origin.
