第四纪沉积物常用测年方法及其适用性研究

由于沉积环境与成因的不同,第四纪地层的岩性、成分、结构和厚度在短尺度空间范围内可能发生明显的变化,地表松散沉积物在自然营力的作用下容易受到剥蚀、搬运和再沉积;在气候变化、生物活动、特别是水的作用下,其化学成分和结构也会发生变化,因此,第四纪地层不仅在空间上复杂多变,而且其组成、岩性等也随时间变化。本文讨论了第四纪松散沉积物的测年问题,对各种测年方法适用的测定对象与测年范围作了分析和对比,力求获得最接近于地层沉积年龄或地质事件发生年龄的数据。     

Nd isotopic disequilibrium between minerals and Rb-Sr age of the secondary phengite in eclogite from the Yangkou area, Qingdao, eastern China

There are two generations of white micas in retrograded coesite-bearing eclogite from the Yangkou area near Qingdao, eastern China. The secondary phengite developed along the folliations in eclogite is the majority of the white micas. Nd and Sr isotopic disequilibriums between garnet and retrograded omphacite as well as secondary phengite have been observed. Consequently, the Rb-Sr ages ((193 ± 4) Ma―(195 ± 4) Ma) given by the tie lines of the secondary phengite + garnet or whole rock may predate the formation time of the phengite. The Rb-Sr age of (183 ± 4) Ma given by the secondary phengite + retrograde omphacite is much closer to the formation time of the phengite indicating the retrograde age of eclogite instead of a cooling age of eclogite at 500℃.     

祁连山东段冷龙岭南麓白水河冰碛物ESR测年研究

白水河是祁连山东段冷龙岭南麓大通河的一条支流,在其谷口保存有形态较完整的冰川终碛,终碛剖面中有将该终碛垄分成两次冰川作用的一推积垄,此次用ESR测年技术对采自该剖面中的冰碛物进行了测年研究,推积垄前部上样品测得的ESR年龄为73．0ka,55．8ka;推积垄后部靠近推积垄的一个样品,测得ESR年龄为36．7ka,所测得的ESR年龄与终碛垄沉积的新老关系相一致,经过ESR测年结果的误差与其可靠性讨论并结合终碛垄沉积关系和推积垄前后的^14C年龄得出;推积垄前部的冰碛物为末次冰期早期沉积的,与深海氧同位素的4阶段相对应;推积垄后部的冰碛物为末次冰期晚期所沉积的,可与深海氧同位素的2阶段相对应,此结论也进一步验证以往学者所得出的结论,说明冰碛物可以用ESR技术进行测年。     

20世纪末激光显微探针定年把K-Ar年代学推向了新的里程碑

已有50年历史的K-Ar定年法,由于过剩Ar和Ar丢失的普遍发现,使其最广泛的应用面临着严重挑战。在20世纪的最后几年,以激光显微探针⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar定年方法的完善和精度的提高为标志,把K-Ar年代学研究推向了一个新高度。微区微量高精度高分辨定年,把定年时限扩展到人类历史范畴,精细的分析技术拓宽了年代学的应用范围,使之解决的地质问题更广泛。     

无稀释剂法K-Ar定年的原理及地质应用

年轻火山物质K-Ar定年中Ar的精确测量一直是地质年代学研究的重要课题。在常规K-Ar定年法中,样品外来氩的⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar比值被假定为295.5。但研究表明,这种假定在某些情况下,尤其是在年轻样品的测量中受到了限制。一种无稀释剂的测Ar技术已在近年来得到了发展和应用。该方法的优势在于测氩系统不受³⁸Ar稀释剂的混染,利用标准大气的校准可测得样品中的⁴⁰Ar、³⁸Ar和³⁶Ar。考虑火山岩中大气氩分馏造成的影响,利用测得的³⁸Ar/³⁶Ar比值还可以对所测样品中的外来⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar比值进一步加以校正,给出精确的放射性成因⁴⁰Ar^*含量计算和K-Ar定年。目前,无稀释剂的K-Ar定年技术在地质上已有广泛应用,并能取得晚第三纪到第四纪可靠的年龄,对地质事件做出合理地解释和重建岩浆活动历史。对无稀释剂法K-Ar定年原理及地质应用的介绍,将为K-Ar年代学应用于研究晚第三纪以来的年轻火山岩提供一种有力的手段和解决途径。     

Discovery of Paleoproterozoic rapakivi granite on the northern margin of the Yangtze block and its geological significance

The Huashanguan rapakivi pluton in Zhongxiang,Hubei Province,China,is the first discovered Proterozoic rapakivi pluton in the Yangtze block.Based on field and petrographical observations,a typical rapakivi texture was found in the northern portion of the Huashanguan granitic pluton.Almost all the K-feldspar phenocrysts were round to oval in shape and most had plagioclase coatings known as rapakivi phenocrysts.Alkali feldspars and quartz had two or more generations.Petrochemically,the Huashanguan rapakivi granites were characterized as having high values of Si,K,Fe,Th,U,La,Ga,Ce,Sm and LREE,low values of Ca,Mg,Sr,Nb,Y and HREE,and a negative Eu anomaly.These geochemical characteristics of the Huashanguan granites were concordant with typical rapakivi granites,and had an affinity to A-type granites.LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon dating also was conducted.The dating yielded a 207Pb/206Pb weighted mean age of 1851±18 Ma (MSWD =1.2),which represents the age of the pluton emplacement.The age of 803±170 Ma at the lower intercept in the concordia diagram corresponds to the age of a later deformation event which affected the pluton,and suggests that the Huashanguan pluton was influenced by Neoproterozoic thermo-tectonic events after its formation.The discovery of Paleoproterozoic Huashanguan rapakivi granites indicates continental rifting or a post-orogenic extensional event that took place in the Paleoproterozoic in the Yangtze block.These events may be related to the breakup of the Paleoproterozoic Columbia supercontinent.     

碎屑锆石U-Pb定年在准噶尔盆地南缘物源研究中的应用

伊连哈比尔尕山山前断褶带是准噶尔南缘前陆盆地和北天山造山带的重要结合部位,从该区采集了4件中生界中的砂岩样品,用LA-ICP-MS方法对其中的250个锆石颗粒进行了U-Pb年龄测定.根据锆石的矿物学特征、CL图像特点以及碎屑锆石年龄分布特征,结合古水流条件的约束,对其沉积物源和构造环境进行了分析.结果表明,锆石形成年龄的范围在170~2 886 Ma间.最年轻的碎屑锆石年龄是(170±1)Ma,说明这套地层不老于中侏罗世;最古老锆石的年龄峰值为2 200~2 900 Ma和1 000~1 600 Ma,源区应为天山在燕山期造山后已有古老基岩的剥露区;290~310 Ma和400~410 Ma的锆石,物源可能包括两部分:伊山为主和部分来自南部的中天山地区;碎屑锆石中出现170~200 Ma的年龄峰值,表明晚侏罗世北天山及盆地南缘发生了较明显的隆升和剥蚀作用,判断其物源为天山北坡.

海南岛西北岸三万年前后浅海相地层的发现及其意义

在海南岛西北部神尖沿岸地区,广泛出露一套富含海相化石的粉细砂—砾石沉积层,组成了高达20米左右的沿岸台地。该地层中所含化石组合主要有海扇、曼氐孔楯海胆、舌骨牡蛎和个体很大的盖虫。根据岩性、沉积相及~(14)C年代数据可知,在距今三万年前后,这里是一个环境比较稳定的热带浅海湾。海水的温度比现在高。我国其它沿海地区,在0—-27米也普遍存在三万年前后的海相沉积层。不同的是,海南岛西北岸三万年前后的海相层,因受后期火山作用而被抬升至高于现代海面20米左右。
