内蒙狼山新元古代酸性火山岩的发现及其地质意义

在内蒙狼山西南段原定为中元古代沉积建造(渣尔泰山群)中, 新发现呈层产出、具有变余聚斑状和斑状结构、斑晶主要由石英和钠长石组成、岩石化学成分富钠低钾的酸性火山岩, 其顶、底板均为细晶方解石大理岩(或结晶灰岩). 两件代表性样品的锆石呈短柱状-长柱状, 内部环状结构发育, 具有较高的Th/U比值, 表明是岩浆成因. A8-0样品20粒锆石的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄为(816.9±4.5) Ma. A14-5样品也测定20粒锆石, 15粒锆石的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄为(805±5.0) Ma, 其余5粒锆石(3.1, 6.1, 7.1, 20.1, 21.1)依次为(867.0±10), (829.1±8.0), (849.7±9.8), (839.2±9.7), (830.7±9.3) Ma. 这证实酸性火山岩属于新元古代产物, 其年龄区间正好在 Rodinia(罗迪尼亚)超大陆裂解的时限范围内. 且酸性火山岩轻稀土富集, 重稀土亏损, 铕负异常明显, 高场强元素(HFSE)富集, 大离子亲石元素等相对亏损, 稀土和微量元素组成与华南扬子块体西缘和浙江次坞地区裂谷环境的新元古代酸性火山岩总体相似(但华南酸性火山岩的高场强元素Th, Nb, Ta, Hf, Zr均明显相对亏损), 具有形成于张性裂谷盆地的特征. 这表明内蒙狼山西南段存在与新元古代Rodinia超大陆裂解作用相呼应的海相火山-沉积变质建造, 内蒙狼山地区可能有与Rodinia超大陆裂解作用相呼应的构造-岩浆-热事件发生. 这一发现, 结合在西部阿拉善邻区发现的晋宁期花岗岩年龄(814~872 Ma)和金川超基性岩体的年龄(827 Ma)及华北地台邻区新元古代岩浆(火山)活动的最新研究成果, 对进一步研究Rodinia超大陆的构造演化历史有重要意义.     

U-Pb dating of detrital zircons from the Wudangshan Group in the South Qinling and its geological significance

U-Pb dating was made by the LA-ICP-MS method for detrital zircons from the Wudangshan volcanic-sedimentary succession in the South Qinling. Samples comprise quartz sandstones of the Wudangshan Group collected from the base of the Yangping Formation and an upper layer of the Shuangtai Formation overlain its volcanic sequence, and two river-sand collections from the drainage systems cutting across the two formations, respectively. The results show that the Yangping detrital zircons are dominated by 830–780 Ma grains with a minor population of ~1.0–0.84 Ga and sporadic grains of ~2.6, ~2.4 and 2.0 Ga, whereas the Shuangtai zircons yield an upper intercept age of 763±33 Ma, identical to the timing of the Wudangshan volcanism within error, with few concordant grains of 1.9 and 0.86 Ga. Age spectra for the two river-sand samples are similar to those of the Yangping and Shuangtai Formations, respectively. It thus suggests that the Wudangshan strata are less than 780 Ma, whereas their major detrital zircon populations of 1.0–0.85 Ga and 830–780 Ma are consistent with timing of the Hannan magmatic activities along the northwestern margin of the South China Block. This suggests a Hannan or adjacent area provenance for the Wudangshan strata. The Wudang area is characterized by rift-related igneous events at ~755 and ~680 Ma, respectively, pointing to a tectono- magmatic history different from the Hannan area. It is inferred that the ~755 Ma magmatism is likely to indicate a separation of the South China Block from the supercontinent Rodinia, while the ~680 Ma event suggests a further split between the South Qinling and some unknown continent.     

Carbon isotopic compositions of pore and matrix carbonates in carbonate nodules, and origin of carbonate formation

Carbon isotopes of pedogenic carbonate are often used to study paleoenvironments, but the existence of detrital carbonate changes the carbon isotopic composition. To develop an experimental method to determine existence of detrital carbonate in carbonate nodules, and to avoid it during isotope analysis, 23 pedogenic carbonate nodules in Miocene loess from the Loess Plateau of China were studied through micromorphology and carbon isotope analysis. The difference in carbon isotopic composition between matrix carbonate (B) and pore carbonate (A) (δ¹³C_(B-A)) ranges from 0.27‰ to 0.44‰ in nodules containing detrital carbonate and –0.16‰ to 0.13‰ in nodules where detrital carbonate is absent. The latter is within measurement error, but the former is beyond it. Here we propose an isotopic approach to determine if nodules contain detrital carbonate: if δ¹³C_(B-A) is within the measurement error, the nodules do not contain detrital carbonate, and vice versa. We suggest that it is better to analyze pore carbonate instead of matrix carbonate when using carbon isotope of carbonate nodules to reconstruct paleoenvironments.     

陕南铜厂闪长岩体的成岩、成矿时代及其地质意义

铜厂闪长岩体位于扬子地台北缘勉县-略阳-阳平关三角地块区域内, 主要由闪长岩、石英闪长岩和花岗闪长岩组成。LA-ICPMS 和 SHRIMP 锆石U-Pb 同位素定年结果表明铜厂闪长岩体存在 3 个侵位结晶阶段: 早期阶段的闪长岩形成于 879 ±7 Ma; 中期阶段的石英闪长岩形成于 848±5 ～840±7 Ma, 含矿钠长岩脉于 834±7 Ma侵位结晶, 与中期阶段石英闪长岩侵位时代在误差范围内一致; 晚期阶段花岗闪长岩形成于 824±5 Ma。这些新的年代学数据表明铜厂闪长岩体及其相伴生的大型铜厂铜矿形成于晋宁期, 而不是古生代, 揭示了扬子地台北缘存在重要的新元古代早期岩浆活动, 与 Rodinia 超大陆的裂解事件在时间上( 860 ～750 Ma) 基本一致, 是Rodinia 超大陆事件在扬子地台北缘的重要响应。     

甘肃北山桥湾北花岗岩体的年代学、地球化学及其地质意义

为加深对北山晚古生代构造演化的认识, 选取位于甘肃北山南带、敦煌地块北缘的桥湾北花岗岩体进行年代学、地球化学研究。桥湾北角闪石花岗岩体锆石LA-ICP MS年龄为303.7±2.4 Ma, ε_Hf(t)为-1.2~5.8, ε_Nd(t)相对较高(-0.40~-0.06), (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i =(0.704524~0.705062)。 桥湾北花岗岩体K₂O含量为4.09%~5.58%, 属高钾钙碱性岩石, A/CNK值在0.92~1.04之间, 为I型花岗岩; 微量元素较富集LILE, 相对亏损HFSE, 有明显的Nb, Ta负异常。岩体具相对富集的微弱分馏的轻稀土元素, 重稀土元素分馏不明显, 基本没有Eu异常。由Hf, Nd同位素及地球化学特征判断, 桥湾北花岗岩体为壳幔混合成因, 其形式可以是底侵的幔源岩浆再分异, 上升过程中遭受地壳物质混染。根据区域构造背景及岩石学、地球化学特征, 可以认为桥湾北岩体是北山南带后碰撞过程岩浆活动的产物, 反映出在晚石炭世北山地区的碰撞拼贴已经完成。     

准苏吉花斑岩型钼铜矿床岩体特征及成矿机制研究

通过对辉钼矿的Re-Os及锆石U-Pb同位素年代学研究, 得到辉钼矿的Re-Os等时线年龄为297.2±4.3 Ma, 赋矿花岗斑岩的锆石U-Pb年龄为 301.1±4.0 Ma, 确定准苏吉花斑岩型钼铜(Mo-Cu)矿床的成岩成矿时代为晚石炭世至早二叠世。准苏吉花矿区不含矿花岗闪长岩的锆石U-Pb 年龄为301.2±2.2 Ma, 与花岗斑岩成岩时代一致。发育角闪石和黑云母的矿物学特征以及高Rb, Th和Ba, 低P和Ti的岩石地球化学特征表明, 花岗斑岩和花岗闪长岩同属于I型花岗岩。较低的Re含量、Mg#值、Nb/Ta值和Zr/Hf值以及低ISr值和正ε_Nd(t)值的全岩Sr-Nd同位素特征表明, 准苏吉花花岗岩的源区为新生下地壳的部分熔融, 岩浆演化过程中, 花岗斑岩和花岗闪长岩均经历较强烈的分离结晶作用, 有利于Mo进一步在残余熔体中富集。通过锆石的Ce⁴⁺/Ce³⁺值计算获得岩浆结晶分异时的氧逸度, 发现花岗斑岩岩浆的氧逸度相对较高(ΔFMQ平均值为+4.8), 花岗闪长岩岩浆氧逸度相对较低(ΔFMQ平均值为+2.2), 表明高氧逸度的岩浆更有利于Mo和Cu富集成矿。     

成都市成人血、尿液重金属浓度及铅同位素比

在成都市城市及农村地区共采集了98份成人血液和42份成人尿液样品,利用ICP-MS分析了Pb、Cd、Cr、As、Sn等14种重金属浓度和铅同位素比.城市成人血液中重金属几何平均浓度(GM)为0.01～3 129.06μg/g胆固醇,城市成人尿液中重金属GM为n.d.～275.26μg/g肌酐,农村成人血液中重金属GM为0.02～3 353.58μg/g胆固醇.研究发现城市成人血液与尿液重金属浓度不存在显著相关,但同一介质各重金属之间存在一定的相关性.城市、农村成人血液中Cd、Pb、Sr、Tl、Co、Cu、Ni、V、Zn的浓度存在显著性差异(P0.05),城市成人血液、尿液,农村成人血液中大部分元素在性别方面不存在显著性差异(P0.05).主成分分析发现膳食是城市和农村血液重金属的重要来源,但来源也存在差别:城市成人血液重金属来源还有燃煤燃烧、合金制造和交通活动,农村的来源则是矿石开采,农药、化肥、油漆、电子产品等的使用.整体而言,四种同位素以~(208)Pb为主,~(206)Pb、~(207)Pb次之,~(204)Pb占比最低.     

内蒙古东北部林西组碳酸盐岩结核的成因及油气地质意义

内蒙古西乌珠穆沁旗哈日根台苏木地区上二叠统林西组深水外陆棚灰黑色泥页岩沉积中发育大量的碳酸盐岩结核。这些结核呈透镜状、结核状及丘状,在产状上与现代海底发育的及古代的冷泉碳酸盐岩极为相似。通过对碳酸盐岩结核的微观组构、物质成分和碳同位素特征的研究,发现碳酸盐岩结核中发育较多的气孔构造、生物化石及草莓状黄铁矿;碳、氧同位素结果显示碳酸盐岩结核的碳同位素存在明显的负偏,表明其中有有机来源的碳。这些特征与现代海底由于天然气渗漏形成的冷泉碳酸盐岩特征一致,因而推测研究区发育的碳酸盐岩结核为古代海底天然气渗漏形成的冷泉碳酸盐岩。这表明在林西组沉积时期,海底存在天然气水合物,可能与海底早期沉积的灰黑色泥页岩中甲烷的释放有关。烃源岩潜力分析也表明,研究区大量发育的灰黑色泥页岩具有一定的生烃潜力,林西组具有较好的油气勘探前景;但是由于地层时代较老,成岩作用及构造运动的影响,现今的勘探难度较大。     

Transmission of oxygen isotope signals of precipitation-soil water-drip water and its implications in Liangfeng Cave of Guizhou,China

According to systemically monitoring results of oxygen （hydrogen） isotope compositions of precipitation, soil waters, soil CO2, cave drip waters and their corresponding speleothems in Liangfeng Cave （LFC） in Guizhou Province, Southwest China, it is found that local precipitation is the main source of soil waters and drip waters, and that the amplitudes of those δ18O values of three waters （precipitation, soil water and drip water） decrease in turn in the observed year, which are 0‰ to -10‰, -2‰ to -9‰ and -6‰ to -8‰, respectively. Moreover, the δ18O values for three waters show a roughly simultaneous variation, namely, that those values are lighter in the rainy seasons, weightier in the dry seasons, and that the average δ18O value of drip waters is about 0.3‰ weightier than that of precipitation, which is modified by surface evaporation processes. We also find that oxygen isotope equilibrium is reached or neared in the formation processes of speleothems in LFC system, and that it is feasible to reconstruct paleotemperature and paleoprecipitation by using δ18O values of speleothems. However, it should be noted that surface evaporation would affect the oxygen isotope values in the study area.     

Petrographic and geochemical characterization of seep carbonate from Alaminos Canyon,Gulf of Mexico

Seep carbonates were collected from the Alaminos Canyon lease area, Gulf of Mexico. The carbonates are present as slabs and blocks. Bivalve shell and foraminifer are the dominant bioclasts in carbonate. Pores are common and usually filled with acicular aragonite crystals. XRD investigation shows that aragonite is the dominate mineral （98%）. Peloids, clotted microfabirc and botryoidal aragonite are developed in carbonate and suggest a genesis linked with bacterial degradation of the hydrocarbons. The δ^13C value of bioclasts in carbonate is from -4.9‰ to -0.6‰, indicating that the carbon source is mainly from sea water as well as the small portion incorporation of the seep hydrocarbon. The microcrystalline and sparite aragonite shows the δ^13C value from -31.3‰ to -23.4‰, suggesting that their carbon is derived mainly from microbial degradation of crude oil. ^14C analyses give the radiocarbon age of about 10 ka. Rare earth elements （REE） analyses of the 5% HNO3-treated solution of the carbonates show that the total REE content of the carbonates is low, that is from 0.752 to 12.725 μg·g^-1. The shale-normalized REE patterns show significantly negative Ce anomalies. This suggests that cold seep carbonate is most likely formed in a relatively aerobic environment.
