松辽盆地北部早白垩世营城组发育一套以流纹岩为主的中酸性火山岩,其具有高硅、铝,富碱和低镁、铁的特征,不同类型火山岩均具有轻稀土富集、重稀土亏损、轻重分异严重的特征。其中：酸性流纹岩表现为富集Pb、U、Th、Ta、Hf和Zr等元素,亏损Sr、Ba、Eu等元素;中性安山岩、粗安岩和基性玄武岩则亏损不明显;中酸性英安岩介于两者之间。地化特征分析表明,营城组岩浆来源于亏损地幔,是地幔底侵导致地壳部分熔融,并受到地幔物质的混染,酸性岩喷出前经历了较强的岩浆分异作用。构造判别图解指示营城组火山岩形成于板内伸展环境,具有与板块俯冲作用有关的、发育于活动陆缘或岛弧的火山岩类似的演化特征。结合中国东部构造环境演化特征,认为松辽盆地北部早白垩世火山活动可能是古太平洋板块北北西方向高速俯冲导致地壳岩石圈减薄、地幔物质上涌的产物。 相似文献

西天山乌孙山地区大哈拉军山组火山岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄及其构造环境 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
西天山乌孙山地区大哈拉军山组由玄武岩、安山岩、英安岩、流纹岩及相应的火山碎屑岩组成,安山岩和流纹岩分布最广。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,火山活动喷发的安山岩与安山质晶屑凝灰熔岩分别形成于353.9Ma±6.5Ma和356.3Ma±4.4Ma,属于早石炭世早期。通过区域对比,西天山大哈拉军山组的火山岩浆作用显示从伊犁中天山板块南北缘向伊犁盆地内部逐渐变年轻的特点,且火山岩喷发时代差别不大(约40Ma)。岩石地球化学研究表明,火山岩属钙碱性系列,富集轻稀土元素,相对亏损重稀土元素。中性火山岩富集大离子亲石元素(如Cs、Rb、Th、U),而相对亏损高场强元素,具有明显的Nb、Ta、Ti负异常,显示出岛弧火山岩的特征;酸性火山岩相对富集Rb、Th、U、Ta等元素,具有明显的Ba、Sr、P、Eu、Ti等元素的负异常。综合伊犁-中天山板块南缘的构造演化特征,认为大哈拉军山组形成于活动大陆边缘环境,产在板块俯冲-碰撞的最后阶段。 相似文献

二连盆地北缘晚中生代火山岩Ar-Ar年代、地球化学及构造背景 总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3
中国东北二连盆地周缘分布有三组时代不同的晚中生代火山岩,其中早、中期为两套地球化学性质不同的流纹岩,晚期为玄武质火山岩。本文通过测定火山岩基质Ar-Ar同位素年龄,表明早期查干诺尔组流纹岩形成于142Ma,晚期不拉根哈达组基性火山岩形成于129Ma,可见二连盆地北缘晚中生代火山岩时代均为早白垩世。通过对主、微量元素地球化学特征和Sr-Nd-Pb同位素组成研究,以及与邻区同期满克头鄂博组英安岩和流纹岩、玛尼吐组英安岩、霍林河地区查干诺尔组英安岩、流纹岩对比,认为早期查干诺尔组流纹岩来源于新成下地壳,岩浆演化过程经历了强烈分异作用;中期流纹岩源区为中上地壳或下地壳岩浆经历了上地壳强烈同化混染作用;晚期不拉根哈达组基性火山岩则源于受俯冲洋壳流体交代的富集岩石圈地幔。结合早白垩世区域岩石圈减薄背景,本文认为研究区早白垩世火山岩形成于陆内伸展构造环境。 相似文献

为了确定松辽盆地南部中生代火山岩的形成时代, 本文对位于盆地南部7个钻遇中生代火山岩的岩芯样品进行了锆石LA~ICP-MSU-Pb定年.松辽盆地南部中生代含火山岩地层主要包括火石岭组和营城组, 其中火石岭组火山岩由玄武安山岩-粗安岩-粗面英安岩组成, 营城组火山岩由玄武质粗面安山岩-粗面安山岩-流纹岩组成.锆石阴极发光(CL)图像和Th/U比值显示, 所测锆石均具有岩浆成因的特点, 锆石的LA-ICP-MSU-Pb定年结果表明, 松辽盆地南部中生代火山岩形成时代介于110b133Ma, 其中火石岭组火山岩形成于129-133Ma, 即早白垩世早期, 营城组火山岩形成于110~119/Via, 即早白垩世晚期.捕获锆石的定年结果显示, 本区基底中存在中晚侏罗世(155~169Ma)、印支期(218~236Ma)、海西期(254/Via、294Ma)、加里东期(413Ma)和前寒武纪(1823/Via和2542Ma)岩浆事件, 这与基底岩石中锆石U—Pb的定年结果相吻合. 相似文献

浙西开化地区处于江南造山带东段，沿下庄-树范断裂北西侧发育一套浅变质的玄武岩-安山岩-英安岩-流纹岩组合.地球化学分析结果显示，玄武岩、安山岩和英安岩、流纹岩表现为连续演化的岩浆序列，岩石多富集Ba、K、Rb，亏损Sr等大离子亲石元素，富集Pb，亏损P、Ti、Ta、Nb等高场强元素.玄武岩Nb含量介于11.8×10-6~15.2×10-6，Nb/Ta=15.36~18.10，Nb/U=8.90~19.32，具有富Nb特点；安山岩MgO含量为5.31%~8.56%，Mg#值为56.89~68.83，FeOT/MgO介于0.82~1.36，显示高Mg特征；英安岩和流纹岩Ga/Al比值高，且FeOT/MgO多介于5.66~18.50，锆石饱和温度为837~920℃，表现出A型酸性火山岩特征.锆石U-Pb定年结果表明，玄武岩、安山岩和流纹岩的成岩年龄分别为800.5±9.2 Ma、799.3±7.1 Ma和798.3±6.2 Ma，均系新元古代（~800 Ma）构造岩浆活动的产物.富Nb玄武岩和高Mg安山岩组合为活动陆缘弧的典型代表，而英安岩和流纹岩则可能形成于俯冲机制下的拉张环境，进一步表明新元古代（~800 Ma）左右，古华南洋北西向扬子陆块的俯冲仍在继续. 相似文献

西藏尼玛县塔色普勒地区去申拉组火山岩的发现
及其地质意义 总被引：6，自引：5，他引：1
对塔色普勒地区新发现的去申拉组火山岩进行了系统的地球化学和年龄研究。根据主量元素特征,将区内火山岩划分为富镁安山岩、英安岩和高分异流纹岩3种类型。富镁安山岩具有较高的MgO含量和Mg#值,是俯冲板片熔体与地幔楔相互作用的产物;英安岩与高分异流纹岩具有同源岩浆的特征,富集大离子亲石元素Rb、Th、U、K、Pb,亏损Nb、Ta、Ti、Sr等元素,并具有较高的Rb/Sr值,可能是地壳部分熔融经历了不同分异作用形成的。对流纹岩进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年,获得103Ma±1Ma和107Ma±1Ma的年龄值,显示区内去申拉组火山岩形成于早白垩世晚期。研究认为,区内去申拉组火山岩形成的地球动力学背景是早白垩世晚期班公湖-怒江洋壳向南俯冲过程中发生的板片断离,塔色普勒地区班公湖-怒江洋的陆-陆碰撞时间在107Ma左右。 相似文献

This paper reports the first results of a study of 11 isotope systems (3He/4He, 40Ar/36Ar, 34S/32S, 65Cu/63Cu, 62Ni/60Ni, 87Sr/86Sr, 143Nd/144Nd, 206–208Pb/204Pb, Hf–Nd, U–Pb, and Re–Os) in the rocks and ores of the Cu–Ni–PGE deposits of the Norilsk ore district. Almost all the results were obtained at the Center of Isotopic Research of the Karpinskii All-Russia Research Institute of Geology. The use of a number of independent genetic isotopic signatures and comprehensive isotopic knowledge provided a methodic basis for the interpretation of approximately 5000 isotopic analyses of various elements. The presence of materials from two sources, crust and mantle, was detected in the composition of the rocks and ores. The contribution of the crustal source is especially significant in the paleofluids (gas–liquid microinclusions) of the ore-forming medium. Crustal solutions were probably a transport medium during ore formation. Air argon is dominant in the ores, which indicates a connection between the paleofluids and the atmosphere. This suggests intense groundwater circulation during the crystallization of ore minerals. The age of the rocks and ores of the Norilsk deposits was determined. The stage of orebody formation is restricted to a narrow age interval of 250 ± 10 Ma. An isotopic criterion was proposed for the ore-bearing potential of mafic intrusions in the Norilsk–Taimyr region. It includes several interrelated isotopic ratios of various elements: He, Ar, S, and others. 相似文献

Komatiites are mantle-derived ultramafic volcanic rocks. Komatiites have been discovered in several States of India, notably in Karnataka. Studies on the distribution of trace-elements in the komatiites of India are very few. This paper proposes a simple, accurate, precise, rapid, and non-destructive wavelength-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometric technique for determining Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th in komatiites, and discusses the accuracy, precision, limits of detection, x-ray spectral-line interferences, inter-element effects, speed, advantages, and limitations of the technique. The accuracy of the technique is excellent (within 3%) for Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th and very good (within 4%) for Y. The precision is also excellent (within 3%) for Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th. The limits of detection are: 1 ppm for Sc and V; 2 ppm for Cr, Co, and Ni; 3 ppm for Cu, Zn, Rb, and Sr; 4 ppm for Y and Zr; 6 ppm for Nb; 10 ppm for Ba; 13 ppm for Pb; and 14 ppm for Th. The time taken for determining Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th in a batch of 24 samples of komatiites, for a replication of four analyses per sample, by one operator, using a manual WDXRF spectrometer, is only 60 hours. 相似文献

Most sulfide-rich magmatic Ni-Cu-(PGE) deposits form in dynamic magmatic systems by partial melting S-bearing wall rocks with variable degrees of assimilation of miscible silicate and volatile components, and generation of barren to weakly-mineralized immiscible Fe sulfide xenomelts into which Ni-Cu-Co-PGE partition from the magma. Some exceptionally-thick magmatic Cr deposits may form by partial melting oxide-bearing wall rocks with variable degrees of assimilation of the miscible silicate and volatile components, and generation of barren Fe ± Ti oxide xenocrysts into which Cr-Mg-V ± Ti partition from the magma. The products of these processes are variably preserved as skarns, residues, xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenomelts, and xenovolatiles, which play important to critical roles in ore genesis, transport, localization, and/or modification. Incorporation of barren xenoliths/autoliths may induce small amounts of sulfide/chromite to segregate, but incorporation of sulfide xenomelts or oxide xenocrysts with dynamic upgrading of metal tenors (PGE > Cu > Ni > Co and Cr > V > Ti, respectively) is required to make significant ore deposits. Silicate xenomelts are only rarely preserved, but will be variably depleted in chalcophile and ferrous metals. Less dense felsic xenoliths may aid upward sulfide transport by increasing the effective viscosity and decreasing the bulk density of the magma. Denser mafic or metamorphosed xenoliths may also increase the effective viscosity of the magma, but may aid downward sulfide transport by increasing the bulk density of the magma. Sulfide wets olivine, so olivine xenocrysts may act as filter beds to collect advected finely dispersed sulfide droplets, but other silicates and xenoliths may not be wetted by sulfides. Xenovolatiles may retard settling of – or in some cases float – dense sulfide droplets. Reactions of sulfide melts with felsic country rocks may generate Fe-rich skarns that may allow sulfide melts to fractionate to more extreme Cu-Ni-rich compositions. Xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenomelts, and xenovolatiles are more likely to be preserved in cooler basaltic magmas than in hotter komatiitic magmas, and are more likely to be preserved in less dynamic (less turbulent) systems/domain/phases than in more dynamic (more turbulent) systems/domains/phases. Massive to semi-massive Ni-Cu-PGE and Cr mineralization and xenoliths are often localized within footwall embayments, dilations/jogs in dikes, throats of magma conduits, and the horizontal segments of dike-chonolith and dike-sill complexes, which represent fluid dynamic traps for both ascending and descending sulfides/oxides. If skarns, residues, xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenomelts, and/or xenovolatiles are present, they provide important constraints on ore genesis and they are valuable exploration indicators, but they must be included in elemental and isotopic mass balance calculations. 相似文献

Five hundred and ninety-eight samples of terrestrial moss (Hylocomium splendens and Pleurozium schreberi) collected from a 188,000 km2 area of the central Barents region (NE Norway, N Finland, NW Russia) were analysed by ICP-AES and ICP-MS. Analytical results for Al, B, Ba, Ca, K, La, Mg, Mn, Na, P, Rb, Si, Sr, Th, U and Y concentrations are reported here. Graphical methods of data analysis, such as geochemical maps, cumulative frequency diagrams, boxplots and scatterplots, are used to interpret the origin of the patterns for these elements. None of the elements reported here are emitted in significant amounts from the smelting industry on the Kola Peninsula. Despite the conventional view that moss chemistry reflects atmospheric element input, the nature of the underlying mineral substrate (regolith or bedrock) is found to have a considerable influence on moss composition for several elements. This influence of the chemistry of the mineral substrate can take place in a variety of ways. (1) It can be completely natural, reflecting the ability of higher plants to take up elements from deep soil horizons and shed them with litterfall onto the surface. (2) It can result from naturally increased soil dust input where vegetation is scarce due to harsh climatic conditions for instance. Alternatively, substrate influence can be enhanced by human activity, such as open-cast mining, creation of ‘technogenic deserts’, or handling, transport and storage of ore and ore products, all of which magnify the natural elemental flux from bedrock to ground vegetation. Seaspray is another natural process affecting moss composition in the area (Mg, Na), and this is most visible in the Norwegian part of the study area. Presence or absence of some plant species, e.g., lichens, seems to influence moss chemistry. This is shown by the low concentrations of B or K in moss on the Finnish and Norwegian side of the (fenced) border with Russia, contrasting with high concentrations on the other side (intensive reindeer husbandry west of the border has selectively depleted the lichen population). 相似文献

Mercury,arsenic, antimony,and selenium contents of sediment from the Kuskokwim River,Bethel, Alaska,USA 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The Kuskokwim River at Bethel, Alaska, drains a major mercury-antimony metallogenic province in its upper reaches and tributaries. Bethel (population 4000) is situated on the Kuskokwim floodplain and also draws its water supply from wells located in river-deposited sediment. A boring through overbank and floodplain sediment has provided material to establish a baseline datum for sediment-hosted heavy metals. Mercury (total), arsenic, antimony, and selenium contents were determined; aluminum was also determined and used as normalizing factor. The contents of the heavy metals were relatively constant with depth and do not reflect any potential enrichment from upstream contaminant sources. 相似文献

We examined the coprecipitation behavior of Ti, Mo, Sn and Sb in Ca–Al–Mg fluorides under two different fluoride forming conditions: at < 70 °C in an ultrasonic bath (denoted as the ultrasonic method) and at 245 °C using a Teflon bomb (denoted as the bomb method). In the ultrasonic method, small amounts of Ti, Mo and Sn coprecipitation were observed with 100% Ca and 100% Mg fluorides. No coprecipitation of Ti, Mo, Sn and Sb in Ca–Al–Mg fluorides occurred when the sample was decomposed by the bomb method except for 100% Ca fluoride. Based on our coprecipitation observations, we have developed a simultaneous determination method for B, Ti, Zr, Nb, Mo, Sn, Sb, Hf and Ta by Q-pole type ICP-MS (ICP-QMS) and sector field type ICP-MS (ICP-SFMS). 9–50 mg of samples with Zr–Mo–Sn–Sb–Hf spikes were decomposed by HF using the bomb method and the ultrasonic method with B spike. The sample was then evaporated and re-dissolved into 0.5 mol l− 1 HF, followed by the removal of fluorides by centrifuging. B, Zr, Mo, Sn, Sb and Hf were measured by ID method. Nb and Ta were measured by the ID-internal standardization method, based on Nb/Mo and Ta/Mo ratios using ICP-QMS, for which pseudo-FI was developed and applied. When 100% recovery yields of Zr and Hf are expected, Nb/Zr and Ta/Hf ratios may also be used. Ti was determined by the ID-internal standardization method, based on the Ti/Nb ratio from ICP-SFMS. Only 0.053 ml sample solution was required for measurement of all 9 elements. Dilution factors of ≤ 340 were aspirated without matrix effects. To demonstrate the applicability of our method, 4 carbonaceous chondrites (Ivuna, Orgueil, Cold Bokkeveld and Allende) as well as GSJ and USGS silicate reference materials of basalts, andesites and peridotites were analyzed. Our analytical results are consistent with previous studies, and the mean reproducibility of each element is 1.0–4.6% for basalts and andesites, and 6.7–11% for peridotites except for TiO2. 相似文献

The Samchampi-Samteran alkaline igneous complex (SAC) is a near circular, plug-like body approximately 12 km2 area and is emplaced into the Precambrian gneissic terrain of the Karbi Anglong district of Assam. The host rocks, which
are exposed in immediate vicinity of the intrusion, comprise granite gneiss, migmatite, granodiorite, amphibolite, pegmatite
and quartz veins.
The SAC is composed of a wide variety of lithologies identified as syenitic fenite, magnetite ± perovskite ± apatite rock,
alkali pyroxenite, ijolite-melteigite, carbonatite, nepheline syenite with leucocratic and mesocratic variants, phonolite,
volcanic tuff, phosphatic rock and chert breccia.
The magnetite ± perovskite ± apatite rock was generated as a cumulus phase owing to the partitioning of Ti, Fe at a shallow
level magma chamber (not evolved DI = O1). The highly alkaline hydrous fluid activity indicated by the presence of strongly
alkalic minerals in carbonatites and associated alkaline rocks suggests that the composition of original melt was more alkalic
than those now found and represent a silica undersaturated ultramafic rock of carbonated olivine-poor nephelinite which splits
with falling temperature into two immiscible fractions—one ultimately crystallises as alkali pyroxenite/ijolite and the other
as carbonatite. The spatial distribution of varied lithotypes of SAC and their genetic relationships suggests that the silicate
and carbonate melts, produced through liquid immiscibility, during ascent generated into an array of lithotypes and also reaction
with the country rocks by alkali emanations produced fenitic aureoles (nephelinisation process). Isotopic studies (δ18O and δ13C) on carbonatites of Samchampi have indicated that the δ13C of the source magma is related to contamination from recycled carbon. 相似文献
