青海省东昆仑造山带洪水河铁矿床为一中型铁矿床,其含铁建造产于狼牙山组千枚岩中,矿石类型主要为块状磁铁石英岩型,少量为条带状磁铁石英岩型,前人一般认为其属于沉积变质型铁矿床。本文在前人研究基础上,对洪水河铁矿区含铁建造中块状铁矿石进行了铁同位素、主量元素、稀土元素和微量元素分析。结果显示：除1件样品外,其余含铁建造样品的铁同位素δ56FeIRMM014均介于0.97‰~1.97‰之间,和全球典型新元古代含铁建造的Fe同位素特征基本一致;铁矿石的SiO2+Fe2O3质量分数高达78.56%~98.06%,具有极低的Al/(Al+Fe+Mn)值（0.00~0.06）,为典型的化学沉积岩;总稀土元素（w (∑REE)）变化范围为(16.49~80.89)×10-6,没有明显的Ce异常(Ce/Ce*为0.93~1.05),轻稀土元素轻微亏损,显示出类似新元古代含铁建造型的特点。综合对比洪水河铁矿区含铁建造的Fe同位素组成、沉积时代和地球化学特征,推断洪水河铁矿区含铁建造的沉积环境为新元古代柴达木—东昆北陆块的被动大陆边缘构造环境,铁等成矿物质主要来源于海相热液流体;富含Fe2+的海相热液流体上涌并逐渐演变为低温热液后在亚氧化水体环境中与含氧海水混合,最后导致Fe2+被部分氧化并形成氢氧化铁,氢氧化铁逐渐沉积在大陆斜坡上最终形成含铁建造。洪水河铁矿的成因类型可划归为拉皮坦型新元古代含铁建造。 相似文献

Western, central, and eastern provinces are recognized in the Scotia Sea. They are distinguished by their bottom topography, geophysical characteristics, and crustal structure, which record their different origin and evolution. The western province is characterized by the oceanic crust that formed on the West Scotia Ridge, where active spreading may have ceased as a result of a collision between propagating rift and the structural barrier of the thick continental lithosphere of the Falkland Plateau. The central province is a series of blocks mainly composed of continental crust that subsided to various depths depending on the degree of extension in the course of rifting. These blocks are separated by local areas with oceanic crust formed due to the breakup of the continental crust and diffusive spreading. These areas are characterized by deep bottom and high values of Bouguer anomalies. The southern framework of the central province consists of subsided continental blocks and microcontinents divided by small spreading-type basins formed by lithospheric extension complicated by strike-slip faulting. The eastern province is composed of oceanic crust formed on the backarc spreading East Scotia Ridge. The results of density analysis, analog, and numerical simulations allowed us to explain some features of the structure and evolution of these provinces. The insight into tectonic structure of the provinces and their evolution allowed us to recognize several types of riftogenic basins differing in geodynamics, age, and geological and geophysical characteristics. 相似文献

Geological and geochemical characteristics of REE iron formation (REEIF), a term proposed by Prof. Tu Kuang-chih to specify a special type of Precambrian iron formations rich in REE, are discussed in this paper with special reference to its REE contents, REE distribution patterns, the formation mechanism, the relationship between its development and the multi-stage evolution of the continental crust in China, and the implications of REE as an indicator of oxidation state for ancient atmosphere. Major conclusions are outlined as follows:
- REEIFs are characterized by high REE concentrations against the very low REE levels in normal Precambrian iron formations.
- REEIFs are formed by marine sedimentary-diagenetic processes in miogeosynclines or transition zones during Proterozoic times To some extent, volcanic activity may play an important role in the deposition of ore-forming materials. In a broader sense, REEIFs belong to Fe-bearing dolomite formations. Most REEIFs in China may be superimposed by late geological processes such as hydrothermal-metasomatism, migmatization and metamorphism. Generally, REEIFs have much in common with stratabound ore deposits in respect to their characteristic features.
- Similar to Precambrian iron formations, REE are enriched in LREE. But, the degree of LREE enrichment is noticed to increase of total REE content. Most REEIFs are characterized by high ratios of σ Ce/σY, (Mg+Fe)/Ca, Na/K, Nb/Ta, Zr/Hf, Th/U, Ba/Sr, etc.
- The extensive occurrence of REEIFs indicates higher REE abundance in the continental crust of China, thus lending further support to the multi-stage theory regarding the evolution of chemical elements and the differentiation in the continental crust of China.
- Preliminary data seem to support the time-dependence of REE distribution patterns and relative Eu contents of REEIFs in China.

On rimmed shelves of Bahamian-type, characterized by chlorozoan associations and typical of tropical seas, carbonate production keeps pace with normal sea-level rise except when rapid rise or drastic environmental changes occurs. On the other hand, open temperate carbonate shelves are characterized by low carbonate production of the foramol association (molluscs, benthic foraminifera, bryozoans, coralline algae, etc.) and generally show seaward relict sediments, because carbonate production cannot keep pace with normal rate of sea-level change.
Several examples of recent drowning foramol carbonate platforms (e.g., large areas of the Mediterranean Sea, eastern-northeastern Yucatan Shelf) as well as analogous ancient drowned foramol-type carbonate platforms (e.g., early to middle Miocene of the Southern Apennines; Miami Terrace) may support the idea that the drowning of many ancient carbonate platforms has been favoured by their biogenic (foramol sensu lato) constitution. Because of their typically low rate of growth, foramol carbonate platforms are fated to be drowned even if the sea-level rise is one with which the normal growth of chlorozoan platforms can keep pace. Similar conditions may also occur in tropical areas where variations in environmental conditions, such as the presence of cold waters, changes in salinity and increased nutrients, preclude the development of chlorozoan associations. 相似文献

Paleogeographic comparative analysis of placer deposits at shelves of Russia shows that all placer provinces and megaprovinces of this region are characterized by complex polymineral profiles. They reflect combinations of various rocks and native sources in feeding areas and intricate transformations of placer mineral assemblages in the course of transport and multifold redeposition of material during alternating stages of continental and coastal-marine lithogenesis. It has been established that Cenozoic placers in shelf zones of Russia are asynchronous formations. The number and timing of major epochs of both proved and inferred placer formation markedly vary depending on the tectonic setting of shelf zones and evolution of the adjacent oceanic basins. 相似文献

Iron ore deposits are generally described in terms of size, grade and chemical composition rather than the mineralogical and microstructural characteristic of different ore types. It is essential, however, to know the morphology, microstructure and chemical composition of individual minerals for optimum mineral processing. Goethite is reported to occur as a ubiquitous phase in many iron ore types and is particularly abundant in the Precambrian banded iron ore formation of north Orissa, India. Goethite from the Bonai–Keonjhar Belt in Orissa has been examined in terms of its morphology and microstructure in relation to chemical composition. Electron microscopy indicated several goethite morphotypes including botryoidal, nodular, spheroidal, platy, stalactitic and flaky. These different morphotypes display intergranular, intragranular, wedge, reniform, comb, prismatic, cavity-line and bead microstructures. In situ analysis using electron probe microanalyzer indicated a wide compositional variation among the different morphotypes and microstructures. Goethite replacing hematite is generally devoid of deleterious elements while re-precipitated goethite generally contains adsorbed alumina, silica and/or phosphorus. Nodular goethite commonly has a high phosphorus level while botryoidal, spheroidal and platy goethite often contains increased combined alumina and silica. Goethite having a reniform, wedge, intergranular or intragranular microstructure is highly water bearing and cryptocrystalline in nature. During dehydration, bead, comb, cavity-lined or prismatic goethite develop, which are more crystalline and which have a higher iron concentration. Goethite with a wedge, prismatic or bead-type microstructure has a higher adsorption of silica (2–4%), while goethite having an intergranular, bead or prismatic microstructure invariably contains appreciable phosphorus, generally at levels deleterious to processing. 相似文献

SEM examination of suspended material collected by filtration from samples of surface waters over continental shelves and deeper areas off eastern Asia reveals the presence of irregular organic films that are longer, cover more filter area, and have more tapered edges in samples from nearshore than offshore regions. Associated diatoms include species diagnostic of coastal environments. Films and coastal diatoms are most abundant in waters above continental shelves where river discharges cause the waters to be more dilute than 33.5‰ salinity. Farther from shore, both films and skeletal elements are broken and partly dissolved. Skeletal elements, faecal matter, and other debris are trapped or adhere to the films, which therefore provide a concentrated food source for small organisms beyond nearshore regions of high primary productivity. The films contribute an unknown percentage of the total organic matter that reaches bottom sediments. 相似文献

Precambrian iron ores of the Singhbhum-North Orissa region occur in eastern India as part of the Iron Ore Group (IOG) within the broad horse-shoe shaped synclinorium. More than 50% of Indian iron ore reserves occur in this region. Massive-hard, flaky-friable, blue dust and lateritic varieties of iron ores are the major ore types, associated with banded hematite, jasper and shales. These ores could have formed as a result of supergene enrichment through gradual but extensive removal of silica, alumina and phosphorus from banded iron formations and ferruginous shale. Attempts for optimal utilization of these resources led to various ore characterization studies using chemical analysis, ore and mineral petrography, XRD analysis, SEM and electron probe micro analysis (EPMA). The ore chemistry indicates that the massive hard ores and blue dust have high iron, low alumina and phosphorus contents. Because of high quality, these ores do not require any specialized beneficiation technique for up-gradation. However, flaky-friable, lateritised and goethitic ores are low in iron, high in alumina and phosphorus contents, requiring specific beneficiation techniques for up-gradation in quality. XRD, SEM and ore microscopic studies of massive hard ores indicate the presence of hematite and goethite, while flaky and lateritic ores show a higher concentration of goethite, kaolinite, gibbsite and hematite. EPMA studies show the presence of adsorbed phosphorous as fine dust in the hard ores. Sink and float studies reveal that most of the gangue minerals are not completely liberated in the case of goethitic and lateritic ores, even at finer fractions. 相似文献

Banded iron formations(BIFs) are major rock units having hematite layers intermittent with silica rich layers and formed by sedimentary processes during late Archean to mid Proterozoic time. In terrestrial environment, hematite deposits are mainly found associated with banded iron formations. The BIFs in Lake Superior(Canada) and Carajas(Brazil) have been studied by planetary scientists to trace the evolution of hematite deposits on Mars. Hematite deposits are extensively identified in Meridiani region on Mars. Many hypotheses have been proposed to decipher the mechanism for the formation of these deposits. On the basis of geomorphological and mineralogical studies, aqueous environment of deposition is found to be the most supportive mechanism for its secondary iron rich deposits. In the present study, we examined the spectral characteristics of banded iron formations of Joda and Daitari located in Singhbhum craton in eastern India to check its potentiality as an analog to the aqueous/marine environment on Mars. The prominent banding feature of banded iron formations is in the range of few millimeters to few centimeters in thickness. Fe rich bands are darker(gray) in color compared to the light reddish jaspilitic chert bands. Thin quartz veins(4 mm) are occasionally observed in the handspecimens of banded iron formations. Spectral investigations have been conducted in VIS/NIR region of electromagnetic spectrum in the laboratory conditions. Optimum absorption bands identified include 0.65, 0.86, 1.4 and 1.9 mm, in which 0.56 and 0.86 mm absorption bands are due to ferric iron and 1.4 and1.9 mm bands are due to OH/H_2O. To validate the mineralogical results obtained from VIS/NIR spectral radiometry, laser Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic techniques were utilized and the results were found to be similar. Goethite-hematite association in banded iron formation in Singhbhum craton suggests dehydration activity, which has altered the primary iron oxide phases into the secondary iron oxide phases. The optimum bands identified for the minerals using various spectroscopic techniques can be used as reference for similar mineral deposits on any remote area on Earth or on other hydrated planetary surfaces like Mars. 相似文献

Major and trace element analyses of representative samples of various types of banded iron-formation and its various minerals, associated sediments, iron ores and volcanic tuff from different localities of Orissa, India, are presented in this paper. The Orissa banded iron-formation is classified as Precambrian banded iron formation and is similar to the oxide facies iron formation of Lake Superior type. The Orissa iron formation consists only of iron oxide and silica with total absence of iron silicate, sulfide and carbonate minerals, and is devoid of terrigenous material. The trace element content suggests the source of the underlying quartzite to be a continental igneous rock mass, while the interbedded tuff are of undoubted volcanic origin. The overlying iron formation were chemically precipitated as oxidate sediments in which the principal iron mineral — magnetite — was formed at low temperature in a shallow marine environment. From the overwhelming similarity of major and trace element contents of all the samples from the different localities, it is postulated that these detached outcrops originated in the same continous basin. 相似文献

Tectonic systems and the deposition of iron-formation 总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8
Gordon A. Gross 《Precambrian Research》1983,20(2-4)
The iron-formation group of chemically precipitated cherty iron-rich sediments ranges in age from Early Precambrian to Recent and is composed of a variety of lithological facies. Iron-formations are classified as Lake Superior and Algoma types to emphasize the contrasting conditions in the spectrum of sedimentary-tectonic environments in which they formed. Thick stratigraphic units of Lake Superior type iron-formation, which form the most extensive iron ranges of the world, are part of sedimentary-tectonic systems that developed along the margins of cratons or continental platforms and were deposited over extended periods of time under relatively stable tectonic conditions. The Algoma type iron-formations were deposited with volcanic rocks and greywacke in various tectonic-volcanic systems, formed under more dynamic tectonic conditions, but are otherwise comparable to present day spreading ridges on the ocean floor. The thick sequences of Lake Superior type iron-formation deposited between 2.7 and 2.0 Ga form part of major sedimentary-tectonic systems that extended along the margins of continents. Direct biogenic factors and the composition of the atmosphere probably had only limited influence on the precipitation of these chemical sediments. 相似文献

The Kouambo iron deposit contains banded iron formations (BIFs) and is located in the northwestern margin of the Congo craton. The BIFs are hosted in Palaeoproterozoic Nyong series, a dominantly metasedimentary formations, which were metamorphosed into greenschist to granulite facies. The Kouambo BIFs are medium- to coarse-grained banded rocks consisting of alternation of Si-rich and Fe-rich mesobands, and belong to oxide facies iron formations. Geochemistry analyses reveal that these iron formations are composed of > 96 wt% Fe2O3 and SiO2 and have low concentrations of Al2O3, TiO2 and trace HFSE, suggesting chemical precipitates of silica and iron. Moreover, these BIFs have low concentrations of Al2O3, TiO2 and trace HFSEs (high field strength elements, e.g., Zr, Hf, Ta, Pb and Th), suggesting that terrigenous detrital materials contributed insignificantly to the sedimentation. The Post-Archean Australian Shale (PAAS)-normalized REE-Y patterns display seawater-like profile: minor LREE depletion and HREE enrichment, positive Y anomalies. However, they display positive Eu and negative Ce anomalies, and low Y/Ho ratio (average 29), which suggest the influence of the hydrothermal fluids. The weak positive Eu/Eu*(PAAS) ratio (average 1.5), associated with the low V (17.5 ppm), Co (6.1 ppm) and Ni (27.5 ppm) contents similar to other Superior-type BIFs worldwide, are consistent with the deposition of the Kouambo BIFs in continental marginal sea or back-arc basin environment. In summary, the Kouambo BIFs show a seawater-like REE + Y signature, however, the positive Eu anomalies and reduced Y/Ho ratios relative to seawater indicates a possible mixing with hydrothermal fluids (∼ 0.5%). 相似文献

Ironstone is any chemical sedimentary rock with > 15% Fe. An iron formation is a stratigraphic unit which is composed largely of ironstone. The solutes which have precipitated to become ironstone have dissolved from the Earth's surface, from the upper crust, e.g. the basaltic layer of oceanic crust, or from deeper within the Earth. Genetic modellers generally choose between surficial weathering, e.g. soil formation, and hydrothermal fluids which have convected through the upper kilometre of oceanic crust. Most genetic modellers attribute cherty laminated iron formations to hydrothermal convection and noncherty oolitic iron formations to surficial weathering. However, both types of iron formations are attributable to the exhalation of fluids from a source region too deep for convection of seawater. Evidence for a deep source of ferriferous fluids comes from a comparison of ancient ironstone with modern ferriferous sediment in coastal Venezuela. A deep-source origin for ironstone has wide-ranging implications for the origins of other chemical sedimentary ores, e.g. phosphorite, manganostone, bedded magnesite, sedimentary uranium ore, various karst-filling ores, and even petroleum. Preliminary study of a modern oolitic iron deposit described herein suggests that the source of iron and silica to iron formations may have been even deeper than envisioned within most hydrothermal convection models. 相似文献

The faunal composition of many of the cool-temperate Holocene biogenic carbonates on the continental shelf around the British Isles reflects the composition of the living fauna of the source area, although the relative proportions of particular faunal components may differ. Radiocarbon dating confirms the presence of material of various ages. Older debris is frequently discoloured and heavily bored. More recent components are unstained and contain fewer borings. Faunas can be grouped into Hard Substrate and Soft Substrate Associations.
A model is proposed for the sedimentological and faunal development of a tidal current-dominated, temperate continental shelf for several stages from low to high sea level for a shelf with (a) abundant sand supply and (b) sparse sand supply. In (a) at the start of transgression the available siliciclastic sand is initially formed into hummocky cross-stratified sands. As sea level rises, tidal currents develop and a suite of bedforms is formed. As sea level continues to rise these migrate shorewards. Sand banks and sand waves have a low faunal density and diversity. Following cessation of sand supply the sediments gradually coarsen with the accumulation of bioclastic debris. In (b), hard substrate faunas dominate throughout. As sea level rises, sand patches with a diverse fauna develop on the outer shelf. Following cessation of the sand supply the sediments become coarser.
Faunal diversity is likely to be greatest on continental shelves with minimal clastic sediment supply. Faunal assemblages from abundant sand shelves can be distinguished by the presence of a much higher proportion of infaunal species. 相似文献

Siderite formation and evolution of sedimentary iron ore deposition in the Earth’s history 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The role of siderite in Phanerozoic and Precambrian iron formations is discussed. Various types of iron formations are characterized, and their place in the evolution of sedimentary iron ore deposition is outlined. In Precambrian iron ore deposition, siderite is a primary mineral, whereas in Phanerozoic iron formations it becomes a secondary mineral and is commonly related to diagenetic and catagenetic processes. 相似文献

Abstract There occurred rifting on Hainan Island in the Late Palaeozoic. Bimodal volcanic rocks composed of basalt and rhyolite developed in the Carboniferous. Widespread in the Late Palaeozoic formations are several layers of fluvial intermontane conglomerates whose distribution is controlled by rift faults. The Late Palaeozoic deposits dominated by clastic rocks are, for a major part, of marine facies and of continental facies in the lower and upper parts. Lithological and lithochemical studies indicate that the detrital rocks were formed in a tectonic setting of continental rifting. The evolution of the rifting terminated at the stage of transition form an intra continental rift to an intercontinental one and the rift basin was a bay opening westward to the sea. 相似文献
