The farnacht formation along the south side of the clew bay fault zone,Western Ireland: Its chemistry and age of metamorphism     

M. D. Max  D. Rex  J. A. Winchester 《Geological Journal》1988,23(3):249-260

The tectonically isolated Farnacht Formation consists of calc-alkaline dacitic-andesitic lavas of volcanic arc affinity. It is situated immediately to the south of the Clew Bay Fault Zone (western continuation of the Highland Boundary Fault Zone of Scotland) in the northeast corner of the Lower Palaeozoic South Mayo Trough in northwest Ireland. It has been metamorphosed to biotite grade greenschist facies following the development of a pervasive, c-s composite muscovite, quartz, and feldspar schistosity. The Farnacht Formation may comprise a terrane that is directly unrelated to nearby Ordovician and Silurian rocks; its present position was fixed largely by Wenlock times. The age of the Farnacht Formation and the deformational event(s) that produced the schistosity are not known. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹ Ar step heating from four specimens have dated the crystallization of biotite at from 422 ± 2 to 405 ± 14 Ma with a mean age of 413 Ma. These ages date either the post-D2, pre-D3 metamorphic peak, or a hornfelsing of the same structural age related to an unseen thermal source, and provide a minimum age for the end Silurian - early Devonian Caledonian tectonothermal activity in the northeast part of the South Mayo Trough.  相似文献

Tectonics and Petroleum Potential of the East China SeaShelf Rift Basin   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

There are two Cenozoic sedimentary basins in the East China Sea. They are the East China Sea shelf basin and the Okinawa Trough basin. The former can be divided into a western and an eastern rift region. The development of the shelf basin underwent continental-margin fault depression, post-rift and then tectonic inversion stages. Available exploration results show that the distribution of source rocks is controlled by the basin architecture and its tectonic evolution. In the Xihu depression, mudstones and coals are the main source rocks. The eastern rift region has good geological conditions for the formation of large oil and gas fields.  相似文献   

Sr, Nd isotope geochemistry of volcanic rock series and its geological significance in the middle Okinawa Trough   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

There exists extensive basic-acidic volcanic rock series in the middle section of the Okinawa Trough. Different types of these volcanic rocks have their own average strontium ratios of 0.704 749, 0.705 062, 0.708 771, 0.704 840 and 0.720 301 with average¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd ratios of 0.512 820, 0.512 673, 0.512 413, 0.512 729 and 0.512 034. These ratios of Sr and Nd isotopes all fall on a theoretic hyperbolic curve of mixing between two end-members of MORB and rhyolitic magma. So we infer that these different kinds of volcanic rocks in the middle Okinawa Trough are the erupted product in different stages of formation and evolution of the trough crust. MORB magma, which had suffered assimilation, mixed with the early-formed crust-derived rhyolitic partial melt mass at different ratios; then, these mixed magma erupted and formed volcanic rock types of the trough. This study indicates that the Okinawa Trough is coming into a stage of submarine spreading from the stage of continental rift.  相似文献   

冲绳海槽中部热液活动区岩芯沉积物稀土元素地球化学特征   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

针对冲绳海槽中部热液活动区附近的沉积物岩芯(H9),利用碱熔法和等离子体发射光谱法对其稀土元素组成进行了分析。结果表明,在岩芯中稀土元素含量在75—80cm段发生转折,75cm以上岩芯段沉积物中稀土元素总量相对较高,而且稀土元素总量,尤其是轻稀土元素总量,与(Fe+Mn)/Al相关性较好。该段沉积物中稀土元素页岩标准化配分模式呈右倾或近似水平,突出特征表现为轻稀土间的明显分异和Eu的相对富集,与热液源稀土元素组成极为相似。与热液流体和热液硫化物相比,分异程度和Eu正异常程度都较低,同时,具有明显的负Ce异常,与海水的稀土配分模式相类似。由此可见,热液活动对该岩芯上段沉积物中稀土元素组成具有重要影响,一方面表现为热液源物质的直接输入,另一方面表现为热液颗粒物质沉积过程中对海水中稀土元素的清扫。  相似文献   

冲绳海槽中部MIS 6期以来Florisphaera profunda百分含量变化及其控制因素     

赵京涛  周连成  李军  曹奇原  李铁刚 《海洋地质与第四纪地质》2009,(1)

对取自冲绳海槽中部的Z14-6岩心进行了钙质超微化石的鉴定统计和有孔虫的氧碳稳定同位素分析,在利用浮游有孔虫氧同位素曲线对比进行地层划分的基础上,通过与邻近区域3个岩心数据进行对比,分析了150kaBP以来该海区钙质超微化石下透光带属种Florisphaera profunda百分含量变化特征及其受控机制。研究结果表明,MIS 6期以来F.profunda百分含量变化具有明显的冰期-间冰期旋回特征,末次冰期旋回中,冰期时F.profunda百分含量低于间冰期,倒数第二次冰期旋回中正好相反。F.profunda百分含量变化的主控因子是黑潮流的强弱变化,倒数第二次冰期旋回中F.profunda百分含量从MIS 5e期末开始降低,由此推测黑潮从MIS 5e期末开始减弱或向洋外偏移,沿岸水入侵冲绳海槽。  相似文献

近7 300 aBP以来冲绳海槽北部上升流的演化     

李青  李铁刚  常凤鸣  曹奇原 《海洋地质与第四纪地质》2008,28(2):65-70

对取自冲绳海槽北部的DOC024岩心进行了浮游有孔虫氧同位素和统计分析,依据浮游有孔虫群落组合和Neogloboquadrina dutertreiδ18O的记录以及表层海水温度、温跃层深度的变化揭示了近7300aBP以来日本九州西南海区上升流的演化过程。7300~7000aBP期间,较轻的δ18O值、较高的年平均表层海水温度以及典型上升流种Globigerina bulloides的低含量和较大的温跃层深度指示这一时期该海区上升流尚不发育,其环境主要受黑潮暖流的控制;7000~4800aBP期间,区域环境略有变化,上升流开始出现,但发育程度不高;在4800~4200aBP期间,各环境参数的变化都说明该时期为上升流的迅速发育期,并逐渐取代黑潮成为该区环境的主要控制因素。1900~1200aBP期间上升流发育程度有所减弱,1200~400aBP之间上升流的发育又逐渐增强,到约400aBP以后,N.dutertreiδ18O的明显加重、年平均表层海水温度的显著下降、Globigerina bulloides含量的快速增加和温跃层的明显变浅指示近400aBP以来是区域上升流发育程度最强的时期。  相似文献   

ON TECTONIC PROBLEMS OF THE OKINAWA TROUGH     

李乃胜 《中国海洋湖沼学报》2001,19(3):255-264

The Okinawa Trough is a very active tectonic zone at the margin of the Northwest Pacific and is typical of back-arc rifting at the young stage of tectonic evolution. Many scientists from Japan,China, Germany, France, the U. S.A. and Russia have done a lot of geologic and geophysical investigations there. It is well known that the Okinawa Trough is an active back-arc rift with extremely high heat flow, very strong hydrothermal circulation, strong volcanic and magmatic activity, frequent earthquakes,rapid subsidence and rifting, well-developed fault and central graben. But up to now, there are still some important tectonic problems about the Okinawa Trough that require clarification on some aspects such as the type of its crust, its forming time, its tectonic evolution, the distribution of its central grabens, the relationship between its high heat flow and tectonic activity. Based on the data obtained from seismic sur-vey, geomagnetic and gravity measurements, submarine sampling and heat flow measurements in the last 15 years, the author discusses the following tectonic problems about the Okinawa Trough: (1) If the Okinawa Trough develops oceanic crust or not. (2) Is the South Okinawa Trough tectonically more active than the North Okinawa Trough with shallower water and few investigation data on it. (3) The formation time of the Okinawa Trough and its tectonic evolution. The Okinawa Trough has a very thin continental crust. Up to now, there is no evidence of oceanic crust in the Okinawa Trough. The North, Middle and South Okinawa Trough are all very strongly active areas. From 6 Ma B.P. , the Okinawa Trough began to form. Since 2 Ma, the Okinawa Trough has been very active.  相似文献   

冲绳海槽中部现代海底热液活动在沉积物中的元素地球化学记录   总被引：3，自引：2，他引：1

对采自冲绳海槽中部现代海底热液活动区的H9岩心沉积物进行了常量、微量元素分析,结果表明大部分元素含量在岩心75~80 cm处有一个明显的突变,上段中明显富集多种微量元素,这些元素正好对应于海槽中非热液活动区沉积物中相对亏损的元素,是热液活动区沉积物中的富集特征元素.75~80 cm处岩心沉积物中元素含量突变标志着冲绳海槽中部现代海底热液活动的开始或显著加强.除锰外,在其他热液活动区(如洋中脊等)显著富集的铁、铜、钴、镍在该区富集程度不高,但铅、鉮、锑、汞在上段岩心沉积物中的平均含量较下段高3~6倍,较非热液活动区沉积物中含量高3~12倍.这些富集元素与冲绳海槽热液活动成因硫化物中富集元素非常一致,表明该区热液活动对沉积物中锰、铅、鉮、锑、汞具有重要贡献,锰、铅、鉮、锑、汞是海槽中部现代海底热液活动的特征性示踪元素组合.岩心沉积物中很好地记录了热液活动的发展演化,该区海底热液活动从距今5740a开始发生或显著增强,并且一直持续到现在,只是其间活动程度经历了强弱变化,岩心上段锰的平均堆积速率约为40.461μg/(cm2·ka),与其他热液活动区的相当.  相似文献
