Reconstruction of palaeosalinity using carbon isotopes and benthic associations: a comparison     

J. Yin  F. T. Fürsich  W. Werner 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1995,84(2):223-236

Carbon and oxygen isotopes were determined on 40 recrystallized shells of Late Jurassic bivalves from the Lusitanian Basin of Portugal. In contrast with the oxygen isotopes, which exhibited considerable diagenetic distortion, the carbon isotopes are thought to preserve a record of the salinity of the Jurassic marginal marine seas in which these bivalves lived. The reconstructed palaeosalinities range from 35%o (euhaline) to 5% (oligohaline). Comparing these values with the palaeosalinity reconstructed from a palaeoecological analysis of 17 stratigraphic levels within the basin, the independently derived values agree in most cases. Strongly differing values are explained as being due to biotic factors and to diagenetic distortion of the isotopic signal; they are less likely to be due to smallscale time-averaging or insufficient microstratigraphic sampling. On the whole, the carbon isotope analyses are thought to produce reasonable palaeosalinity values, although data from infaunal, originally aragonitic bivalves appear to be less reliable than those from epifaunal bivalves with a predominantly or exclusively calcitic shell. As diagenetic alteration of the carbon isotope signal is, however, unpredictable and biotic effects on the isotopic composition are insufficiently known, palaeosalinity reconstructions based on stable isotope data should be supported by palaeoecological data.  相似文献

Volatile emissions and gas geochemistry of Hot Spring Basin,Yellowstone National Park,USA

We characterize and quantify volatile emissions at Hot Spring Basin (HSB), a large acid-sulfate region that lies just outside the northeastern edge of the 640 ka Yellowstone Caldera. Relative to other thermal areas in Yellowstone, HSB gases are rich in He and H₂, and mildly enriched in CH₄ and H₂S. Gas compositions are consistent with boiling directly off a deep geothermal liquid at depth as it migrates toward the surface. This fluid, and the gases evolved from it, carries geochemical signatures of magmatic volatiles and water–rock reactions with multiple crustal sources, including limestones or quartz-rich sediments with low K/U (or ^40?Ar/^4?He). Variations in gas chemistry across the region reflect reservoir heterogeneity and variable degrees of boiling. Gas-geothermometer temperatures approach 300 °C and suggest that the reservoir feeding HSB is one of the hottest at Yellowstone. Diffuse CO₂ flux in the western basin of HSB, as measured by accumulation-chamber methods, is similar in magnitude to other acid-sulfate areas of Yellowstone and is well correlated to shallow soil temperatures. The extrapolation of diffuse CO₂ fluxes across all the thermal/altered area suggests that 410 ± 140 t d^− 1 CO₂ are emitted at HSB (vent emissions not included). Diffuse fluxes of H₂S were measured in Yellowstone for the first time and likely exceed 2.4 t d^− 1 at HSB. Comparing estimates of the total estimated diffuse H₂S emission to the amount of sulfur as SO₄²⁻ in streams indicates ~ 50% of the original H₂S in the gas emission is lost into shallow groundwater, precipitated as native sulfur, or vented through fumaroles. We estimate the heat output of HSB as ~ 140–370 MW using CO₂ as a tracer for steam condensate, but not including the contribution from fumaroles and hydrothermal vents. Overall, the diffuse heat and volatile fluxes of HSB are as great as some active volcanoes, but they are a small fraction (1–3% for CO₂, 2–8% for heat) of that estimated for the entire Yellowstone system.  相似文献   

Functioning of intertidal flats inferred from temporal and spatial dynamics of O<Subscript>2</Subscript>, H<Subscript>2</Subscript>S and pH in their surface sediment   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

In this article, we describe the dynamics of pH, O₂ and H₂S in the top 5–10 cm of an intertidal flat consisting of permeable sand. These dynamics were measured at the low water line and higher up the flat and during several seasons. Together with pore water nutrient data, the dynamics confirm that two types of transport act as driving forces for the cycling of elements (Billerbeck et al. 2006b): Fast surface dynamics of pore water chemistry occur only during inundation. Thus, they must be driven by hydraulics (tidal and wave action) and are highly dependent on weather conditions. This was demonstrated clearly by quick variation in oxygen penetration depth: Seeps are active at low tide only, indicating that the pore water flow in them is driven by a pressure head developing at low tide. The seeps are fed by slow transport of pore water over long distances in the deeper sediment. In the seeps, high concentrations of degradation products such as nutrients and sulphide were found, showing them to be the outlets of deep-seated degradation processes. The degradation products appear toxic for bioturbating/bioirrigating organisms, as a consequence of which, these were absent in the wider seep areas. These two mechanisms driving advection determine oxygen dynamics in these flats, whereas bioirrigation plays a minor role. The deep circulation causes a characteristic distribution of strongly reduced pore water near the low water line and rather more oxidised sediments in the centre of the flats. The two combined transport phenomena determine the fluxes of solutes and gases from the sediment to the surface water and in this way create specific niches for various types of microorganisms.  相似文献

Synthetic dumortierite: its PTX-dependent compositional variations in the system Al2O3-B2O3-SiO2-H2O     

Günter Werding  Werner Schreyer 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1990,105(1):11-24

Dumortierite, generally simplified as Al₇BSi₃O₁₈, was synthesized in the pure system Al₂O₃–B₂O₃–SiO₂–H₂O (ABSH) using gels with variable Al/Si ratios mixed with H₃BO₃ and H₂O in known proportions as starting materials. Synthesis conditions ranged from 3 to 5 and 15 to 20 kbar fluid pressure at 650° to 880°C. On the basis of analyses, synthetic dumortierite shows relatively narrow homogeneity ranges with regard to Al/Si which, however, vary as a function of pressure: at low pressures (3–5 kbar) Al/Si is 2.77–2.94 versus 2.33–2.55 at high pressures (15–20 kbar). Outside of these homogeneity limits, dumortierite was found to coexist with quartz or corundum, depending on the starting composition. Whereas synthetic dumortierite invaribly contains 1.0 boron atom per formula unit (p.f.u.) based on 18 oxygens, the water contents vary drastically as a function of pressure and temperature (1.32–2.30 wt.% H₂O or 0.85–1.47 H p.f.u.). H₂O is an essential component in dumortierite. Structural formulae based on complete chemical analyses of the dumortierites synthesized reveal that there is invariably an Si-deficiency against the ideal number of 3.0 p.f.u. In the calculation procedure used here, this deficiency is balanced by assuming tetrahedral Al. The remaining Al, taken to occupy the octahedral sites, is always below the ideal number of 7.0 p.f.u. Charge-balancing the structure with the hydrogen found analytically leads to two different mechanisms of H incorporation: (1) 3H⁺ + octahedral vacancy for Al^[6]; (2) H⁺ + tetrahedral Al for Si^[4]. Dumortierite synthesized at high fluid pressure contains little Al^[4] and, thus, little H⁺ of type 2; its hydrogen is predominantly present as type 1. Conversely, dumortierite formed at low fluid pressures is high in Al^[4] and hydrogen type 2. The amounts of hydrogen type 1 in low-pressure dumortierites decrease with rising temperatures of synthesis. Typical structural formulae are: (Al_6.670.33)[Al_0.49Si_2.51–O_13.53(OH)_1.47](BO₃) for a low-pressure product, and (Al_6.680.32)[Al_0.09Si_2.91O_13.94(OH)_1.06](BO₃) for a high-pressure product. Independently of the synthesis conditions, dumortierite was found always to be orthorhombic, with b₀/a₀ deviating slightly, but significantly from the valid for hexagonal lattice geometry. As a function of increasing Al/Si in the synthetic crystals, their a₀, c₀, and V₀ rise, whereas b₀ decreases. Thus b₀/a₀ decreases most sensitively with rising Al/Si and also with growing Al^[4]. More experimentation is required before the compositional variations of dumortierite found here can be applied successfully to geothermobarometry of natural rocks.  相似文献   

Examples of structural control of hydrothermal mineralization: Fault zones in epicontinental sedimentary basins — A review     

Dr. Wolfgang Werner 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1990,79(2):279-290

By compiling data available from progressive geoscientific research and by complementary studies it seems possible for an increasing number of mineral districts to find indications of the regional structural control of hydrothermal ore deposits. The relationship between hydrothermal mineralization, faulting or fault reactivation and related processes can, of course, best be examined at the less deformed sedimentary record of ancient epicontinental sedimentary basins. There is increasing evidence that the sediment-hosted submarine-hydrothermal Zn-Pb-Ba mineralizations such as Meggen, Rammelsberg, Howards Pass and McArthur River are spatially and genetically related to deep synsedimentarily active fault systems of intracontinental basins or stretched passive continental margins. For long periods of basin development the faults provided favorable conduits for episodically released basin-dewatering brines, which precipitated the leached metals into third-order basins situated next to these faults. There are many similarities to epigenetic mineralizations, which formed either pre-, syn- or postorogenetically from brines leaching the (meta)sediments and associated magmatites and migrating along fault zones to their near-surface trap structures.

Zusammenfassung Für viele Erzprovinzen bietet sich durch Kompilation der in den letzten Jahrzehnten rasch angewachsenen Zahl geowissenschaftlicher Daten und durch gezielte ergänzende Untersuchungen die Möglichkeit, Anhaltspunkte oder Belege für die regionale Strukturbindung von hydrothermalen Vererzungen zu finden. Naturgemäß lassen sich die Zusammenhänge zwischen hydrothermaler Mineralisation, Störungstektonik und begleitenden Prozessen am besten an nur gering orogen überprägten ehemaligen Sedimentbecken untersuchen. So gibt es vermehrt Belege dafür, daß die sediment-gebundenen, submarin-hydrothermalen Zn-Pb-Ba Vererzungen wie Meggen, Rammeisberg, Howards Pass, McArthur River etc. räumlich und genetisch an tiefreichende Störungssysteme gebunden sind, die während der Sedimentation in intrakontinentalen Riftbecken oder auf ausgedünnten passiven Kontinentalrändern aktiv waren. Diese Störungssysteme bündelten die salinaren Beckenentwässerungsströme und ermöglichten über lange Zeiträume ihren episodischen Aufstieg zum Meeresboden, wo die aus den Sedimenten aufgenommenen Metalle als Sulfide in Spezialbecken abgesetzt wurden. Es bestehen prinzipielle Ähnlichkeiten mit vielen epigenetischen prä-, syn- oder postorogenen Mineralisationen; auch hier migrierten die salinaren Lösungen, die ihren Metallgehalt aus den (Meta)Sedimenten und eingelagerten Magmatiten bezogen, entlang von Störungssystemen bis zu den oberflächennahen Fallenstrukturen.

Résumé La compilation des données géologiques qui se sont largement multipliées au cours des dernières décennies, complétée par des rechercùhes complémentaires particulières, nous offre pour beaucoup de régions la possibilité de trouver des indices ou même des preuves d'un contrôle structural des minéralisations hydrothermales. Il va de soi que les relations entre la minéralisation hydrothermale, la formation et la réactivation des failles ainsi que les processus associés sont les plus faciles à étudier dans les couches sédimentaires les moins touchées par une orogenèse postérieure. Ainsi, il existe des preuves que les gisements stratiformes et sédimentaires de Zn-Pb-Ba du type Howards Pass, McArthur River et Meggen sont liés à des systèmes de failles synsédimentaires profondes, en relation avec des bassins intracontinentaux du genre rift et avec des marges continentales passives en extension. Ces systèmes de failles synsédimentaires ont drainé des eaux salines intersticielles et ont rendu possible leur mouvement ascendant vers les fonds marins où leur contenu métallifère s'est déposé dans des bassins locaux. Des nombreuses recherches récentes mettent en évidence la ressemblance avec les minéralisations épigénétiques formées avant, pendant et après l'orogenèse; là aussi, les eaux interstitielles, après avoir reçu leur contenu métallifère des (meta)sédiments et des magmatites associées ont migré le long de systèmes de failles jusqu'aux pièges structuraux proches de la surface.

Studies of dust grain properties in infrared reflection nebulae     

Pendleton YJ  Tielens AG  Werner MW 《The Astrophysical journal》1990,349(1):107-119

We have developed a model for reflection nebulae around luminous infrared sources embedded in dense dust clouds. The aim of this study is to determine the sizes of the scattering grains. In our analysis, we have adopted an MRN-like power-law size distribution (Mathis, Rumpl, and Nordsieck) of graphite and silicate grains, but other current dust models would give results which were substantially the same. In the optically thin limit, the intensity of the scattered light is proportional to the dust column density, while in the optically thick limit, it reflects the grain albedo. The results show that the shape of the infrared spectrum is the result of a combination of the scattering properties of the dust, the spectrum of the illuminating source, and foreground extinction, while geometry plays a minor role. Comparison of our model results with infrared observations of the reflection nebula surrounding OMC-2/IRS 1 shows that either a grain size distribution like that found in the diffuse interstellar medium, or one consisting of larger grains, can explain the observed shape of the spectrum. However, the absolute intensity level of the scattered light, as well as the observed polarization, requires large grains (approximately 5000 angstroms). By adding water ice mantles to the silicate and graphite cores, we have modeled the 3.08 micrometers ice band feature, which has been observed in the spectra of several infrared reflection nebulae. We show that this ice band arises naturally in optically thick reflection nebulae containing ice-coated grains. We show that the shape of the ice band is diagnostic of the presence of large grains, as previously suggested by Knacke and McCorkle. Comparison with observations of the BN/KL reflection nebula in the OMC-1 cloud shows that large ice grains (approximately 5000 angstroms) contribute substantially to the scattered light.  相似文献
