吕梁地区宁家湾岩体锆石 U-Pb 年代学、地球化学特征及地质意义

对呈小规模岩株状产出的宁家湾岩体进行野外地质、岩石学、岩石地球化学、锆石U-Pb同位素年代学和Hf同位素组成研究, 目的是确定其岩石成因及地球动力学意义。两件样品的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果分别为2364±6 Ma (MSWD=0.13)和2360±23 Ma (MSWD =4.0), 属古元古代岩浆活动的产物。研究结果表明, 宁家湾岩体富碱、高K和Si, 具有高FeO^T/MgO 比值和高的高场强元素(HFSE)含量, 富集Rb, Ba, Th和U等元素, 具有低的Ca和Mg含量, 明显亏损P和Ti, 具弱轻重稀土分异和强Eu负异常(δEu=0.13~0.36)的海鸥型稀土分配模式, 显示高分异I型花岗岩的特征。较高的Y/Nb值(1.2~2.8)、锆石的ε_Hf(t)均为正值(+1.6~+6.4)以及单阶段模式年龄t_DM1(Hf)和二阶段模式年龄t_DM2(Hf)分别为2449~2629 Ma和2474~2711 Ma的特点, 表明源区可能为壳幔混合。明显的Nb, P 和 Ti负异常及Ce, Nd和Zr正异常, 反映出大陆边缘弧岩浆岩的特征。结合区域地质背景, 认为宁家湾岩体很可能形成于岛弧构造环境。     

吕梁地区近周营组蚀变火山岩 U-Pb-Hf同位素特征及其地质意义

选择吕梁群中原岔上群北部地层的蚀变火山岩进行锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素研究。锆石U-Pb测试获得两组年龄结果, 较年轻的谐和年龄为1813±6 Ma (n=7), 较老的²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb加权平均年龄为2516±31 Ma(n=2), 前者为火山岩喷发时代, 后者代表捕获锆石年龄。年轻锆石的ε_Hf(t)值为-10.8~-2.3, T_DM1值为2308~2655 Ma; 捕获锆石的ε_Hf(t)值为+10.0~+13.1。年龄约为2.5 Ga锆石的ε_Hf(t)值高于亏损地幔演化线, 考虑到UPb同位素和Hf同位素测点位置不完全相同, 说明所获得的Hf同位素组成为无地质意义的混合数值; 年龄约为1.8 Ga锆石的Hf同位素特征反映其可能源于富集地幔或受地壳物质混染的亏损地幔。结合前人的研究成果, 推断岩浆作用事件发生在约1.81 Ga 的碰撞后阶段。

1979-2007年中国造纸术发明者争议的回顾

造纸术是由东汉宦官蔡伦还是西汉工匠发明,是一个有争论的学术问题.1949-1979年两种观点争鸣是正常的学术现象.但自1979年轻工部造纸局行政干预以来,有关中国造纸术发明者的争议已经脱离正常讨论轨道.政府机构利用职权和行政资源推行官方观点,将蔡伦造纸说奉为“历史定论”,以“爱国与维护国家尊严”为名,树立学术禁区,打压不同意见,对出土西汉纸作歪曲事实的反检验和反断代,以政令方式对纸史争议作“最后裁决”.潘吉星作为参与这项纸史争议的见证人,揭示了这场争议中的某些真相.

Occurrence of Neoproterozoic low-grade metagranite in the western Beihuaiyang zone,the Dabie orogen

Based on detailed field investigations and petrographic observations, we discovered Neoproterozoic-emplaced granite from the metavolcanics of the Dingyuan Formation in the western Beihuaiyang zone, the Dabie orogen. This study reports the results of zircon U-Pb dating and preliminary petrographic observations on two metagranite samples. The studied rocks experienced epidote-amphibolite facies metamorphism and strong structural deformation. Their U-Pb ages are 726 ± 6 and 758 ± 12 Ma, respectively, similar to those for the Luzhenguan complex in the eastern segment of the Beihuaiyang zone. In combination with previously determined 635 ± 5 Ma low-grade metagabbro, this study suggests the occurrence of at least two types of Neoproterozoic intrusive rocks in the Beihuaiyang zone, the northern margin of the South China Block (SCB): 726–758 Ma metagranite and 635 Ma metagabbro. These rocks occur within the metamorphosed Ordovician volcanic zone (originally named the Dingyuan Formation) and are in tectonic contact to each other, but they formed in different tectonic settings. The protolith ages for the Neoproterozoic low-grade metaigneous rocks are in good agreement not only with ages for two episodes of mid- and late-Neoproterozoic mafic and felsic magmatism in the Suizhou and Zaoyang area, Hubei Province, but also agree with protolith ages of ultrahigh-pressure metaigneous rocks in the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt. In view of their tectonic relationships to country rocks, it appears that these Neoproterozoic low-grade rocks are exotic and they may have been detached and scraped from subducting SCB crust in the early Triassic during the initial continental subduction, and thrusted over Paleozoic metamorphosed rocks in the southern margin of the North China Block during continental collision.     

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.     

“高资人”化石与股骨形态变异的生物力学分析

运用生物力学方法对1980年在江苏镇江高资镇采集的2件完全石化的人类股骨进行分析,并在常规形态观测和加速器质谱14C测年的基础上对更新世人类化石及全新世现代人股骨形态的变异进行讨论.测年数据显示,"高资人"股骨可能属于全新世现代智人,但基于CT扫描数据计算出的骨干抗压抗拉强度、抗弯强度及其他形态特征都呈现某些较全新世现代人更显古老的特征.对比分析表明,人类股骨形态及测量值因其功能状况等原因具有相当大的变异,股骨形态特征不能作为判断化石系统发育地位的最关键证据.股骨生物力学参数是其功能状况的直接反映,在人类不同演化阶段因运动行为模式差异,其相对大小在不同人群存在更加明显分异,因而生物力学分析在长骨功能状况研究上具有很大应用价值.化石石化程度不是判断其年代的可靠标准.     

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。
