贡嘎山海螺沟冰川沉积的石英砂扫描电镜形态特征分析

对贡嘎山海螺沟冰川沉积物中石英砂进行扫描电镜形态特征分析, 获得海洋性山岳冰川沉积的标志性形态特征如下: 尖锐的棱角状颗粒形态占绝对优势, 边棱尖锐、表面起伏度高; 大型-中型贝壳状断口极发育, 多见平行解理面、阶梯状断口; 具有标志冰川磨蚀作用的擦痕、新月形凿口和压裂深坑有明显的化学溶蚀和沉淀形态, 如溶蚀坑、溶蚀沟, 硅质薄膜、硅质球和黏土矿物。结果表明海螺沟冰川具有强烈的侵蚀作用, 机械压碎、研磨在侵蚀和搬运过程具有绝对优势;同时海螺沟冰川底部存在丰富的冰下融水, 起到化学溶蚀和沉淀的作用。石英砂表面结构统计分析结果与河流、湖泊、海岸、风沙等沉积明显不同, 与青藏高原、南极等地大陆性冰川沉积分析结果亦存在差异。

Quartz Grain SEM Microtextures Analyses of Sub-Glacial Deposits at Hailuogou Glacier

The SEM microtextures of glacial sediments samples taken from Hailuogou Glacier are analyzed.The major microtextures are listed as follows:sharp angular features with sharp edges and high relief;large-medium conchoidal fractures,parallel cleavage and terraced fractures,indicating mechanical fragmentation;stria,crescentic gouges and crushed deep hole,indicating abrasion;dissolution pits and grooves,siliceous sphere and clay minerals,indicating chemical dissolution and precipitation.These results indicate tha...
