Late Pleistocene glaciation of the Changbai Mountains in northeastern China

The Changbai Mountains （2749 m a.s.l.） in northeastern China are one of the typical mountain regions with glaciation since late Pleistocene as evidenced by well-preserved erosive and accumulative landforms at elevations above 2000 m a.s.l, formed by glaciers around the crater lake, Tianchi Lake. Cirque glaciers developed on both the inner and outer sides of the volcanic cone. Well-preserved cirques, glacial trough valleys, glacial threholds, polished surfaces of the glacial erratics and the moraine ridges indicate that several glaciation processes took place during the last glacial period in this region. Resuits of optically stimulated luminescence （OSL） dating on the moraine sediments, and the K/Ar, thermal ionization mass spectrometry （TIMS）, electronic spinning resonance （ESR） dating on the volcanic rocks suggest two periods of glacier advances. One is named the Black Wind Mouth glacier advance taking place on the west and north slopes of the volcanic cone at an elevation of 2000-2100 m a.s.l., which is dated to about 20 ka, being the result of the Last Glacial Maximum （LGM）. The other is named the Meteorological Station glacier advance at the elevation of 2400-2600 m a.s.l., dated to 11 ka during the late glacial period, and is tentatively correlated to the Younger Dryas stage. The scope of the former glacier advance is larger than that of the latter. Regional comparisons showed that the glacial sequences in the Changbai Mountains are similar to other glaciated areas in eastern Asia during the later part of the last glacial cycle.     

A possible relict mantle wedge: Geochemical evidence from Paleogene volcanics in North China

The major and trace element and isotopic composition were analyzed for the Paleogene volcanics in North China dated by the K-Ar method. The geochemical data show that most volcanics are in calc-alkaline series and the minor is in alkaline series. They differ obviously from Neogene and Quaternary volcanics in geochemistry. In particular, the Paleogene volcanics from the southern part of North China were derived from enriched lithospheric mantle (EMII), which were likely to be a relict mantle wedge formed during the subduction of the Yangtze plate into the North China plate in late Triassic (Indo-Sinian).     

科马提岩类岩浆熔离硫化镍矿石建造

与科马提岩(超铁镁火山岩)类有关的硫化镍矿床是70年代提出的新的矿床类型,它在硫化镍矿床中约占54%;占世界镍储量的22.7%,占1979年世界开采量的26.1%;它主要产于太古代绿岩带中,但其他年代地层中也有产出。成矿母岩和赋矿围岩均为科马提岩,其鬣刺结构和流层状构造特别发育。本型矿石主要由磁黄铁矿、镍黄铁矿、黄铁矿、黄铜矿、磁铁矿等组成,较之与辉长岩类有关的铜镍硫化物矿床,其镍黄铁矿含量远大于黄铜矿,Ni/Cu比值在10-70之间(与辉长岩类有关的矿床为17)。本文还介绍了本型矿石建造的矿物共生组合、组构、矿体的形状与产状、成矿物质的来源,以及矿床的成因。     

Silurian to Devonian foreland basin in the south edge of Tarim Basin

Based on the theory of plate tectonics, combin-ing with the isotopic dating of ophiolite, igneous and volcan-ics, geochemical test, rare earth element analyze and seismicinterpretation, this paper studies the pre-Carboniferous tec-tonics and sedimentary formation of the south edge of theTarim Basin and proves that there exists the Kunlun Oceanunder tensional tectonics during the Sinian and Cambrian inthe south edge of the Tarim Plate. After that, due to the colli-sion orogenesis, there formed the peripheral foreland basinin the south edge of Tarim. The Upper Silurian and Devo-nian molasses sedimentary system superposed on the Sinianand Middle Silurian passive margin flysch sedimentary sys-tem and formed the bivariate structure of the foreland basin.And at the same time, based on the field geology and seismicinterpretation, we have identified that the formation of theSilurian and Devonian have the character of half depositwhich shows thick in the south area and thin in the north,and the pre-Carboniferous thrust compression tectonics re-mained in the foreland thrust belt, which further demon-strates that there existed the Silurian and Devonian periph-eral foreland basin on the south edge of the Tarim Basin.     

Zircon SHRIMP U-Pb dating for the Cangshuipu volcanic rocks and its implications for the lower boundary age of the Nanhua strata in South China

Continental volcanic rocks and volcaniclastic sedi-mentary conglomerates of the Cangshuipu Formation oc- cur as wedge-shaped Neoproterozoic strata in the Yiyang region, Hunan Province. They overlie with a high-angle unconformity the Lengjiaxi Group of the Upper Meso- proterozoic Eonothem. The wedge-shaped Neoproterozoic strata of the continental clastic rocks and the Mesopro-terozoic deep marine flysch turbidites of the Lengjiaxi Group represent two distinct stages of basin-tectonic evo-…     

浙西北晚侏罗世火山期后交代蚀变作用及铀的活化转移

浙西北晚侏罗世火山岩历经四次火山喷发旋回,经受了多次热事件。岩石遭受的火山期后热液交代蚀变,在酸性岩区主要发育钠长石化和绢云母化。这种面型分布的交代蚀变使火山岩中以多种形式赋存的铀发生成岩后的初始活化。尔后,成矿期热液在运移中又将已经活化了的铀从围岩中浸取出来,以补充热液中的铀,并在沿断裂发育的蚀变环境中沉淀成矿。     

琼中古-中元古代变质基性火山岩地球化学特征

琼中斜长角闪(片麻)岩为变质的古-中元古代基性火山岩,属于高铝和低钛的高钾钙碱性玄武岩系.其LILE和LREE明显富集,HFSE相对亏损,具有典型岛弧玄武岩特征.微量元素、Sm-Nd同位素组成还揭示其岩浆源区偏离原始地幔,但未受成熟地壳物质的明显污染,是消减带上部地幔楔与俯冲洋壳析出的流体二元混合物部分熔融的产物.古-中元古宙时期,海南地块可能经历了由拉张到挤压的地球动力学转变,早期拉张阶段形成琼西洋脊型和过渡型拉斑玄武岩,中晚期强烈俯冲作用形成琼中岛弧高钾钙碱性玄武岩,该俯冲期与华南统一地块古-中元古宙板块俯冲时期相对应.     

浙西北中生代火山岩Rb-Sr同位素地质年龄研究

浙西北火山杂岩系原划为侏罗系上统建德群,分为劳村组、黄尖组、寿昌组和横山组。作者在浙西北火山岩带劳村组、黄尖组、寿昌组酸性火山岩中获得了132Ma,107Ma和93Ma的全岩等时线年龄值。这表明,劳村组、黄尖组应划归早白垩世,寿昌组应划归晚白垩世。而这些岩组的火山岩锶同位素初始比值(~(87)Sr/(86)Sr)_0为0.70561—0.71434,火山岩应属硅铝壳中下部物质深熔的产物,个别样品(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_0值表明,抑或有上地幔物质的干扰。
