Abstract

The Devonian subsurface Adavale Basin occupies a central position in the Paleozoic central Thomson Orogen of eastern Australia and records its tectonic setting during this time interval. Here, we have focussed on the basal volcanics of the Gumbardo Formation to clarify the tectonic setting of the basin. The approach has been to undertake stratigraphic logging, LA-ICP-MS U–Pb zircon geochronology and whole-rock geochemical analysis. The data indicate that basin initiation was rapid occurring at ca 401?Ma. The volcanic rocks are dominated by K-feldspar phyric rhyodacitic ignimbrites. The whole-rock geochemical data indicate little evidence for extensive fractional crystallisation, with the volcanic suite resembling the composition of the upper continental crust and exhibiting transitional I- to A-type tectonomagmatic affinities. One new U–Pb zircon age revealed an Early Ordovician emplacement age for a volcanic rock previously interpreted to be part of the Early Devonian Gumbardo Formation, and older basement age is consistent with seismic interpretations of uplifted basement in this region of the western Adavale Basin. Five ignimbrites dated from different stratigraphic levels within the formation yield similar emplacement ages with a pooled weighted age of 398.2?±?1.9?Ma (mean square weighted deviation?=?0.94, n?=?93). Significant zircon inheritance in the volcanic rocks records reworking of Ordovician and Silurian silicic igneous basement from the Thomson Orogen and provides insight into the crustal make-up of the Thomson Orogen. Collectively, the new data presented here suggest the Adavale Basin is a cover-type basin that developed on a stabilised Thomson Orogen after the major Bindian deformation event in the late Silurian.  相似文献   

The Southward Extension of Cathaysia Block: Evidence from Zircon UPb Dates of Borehole Volcanics in the Northern South China Sea   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Five Paleogene volcanics sampled from the northern South China Sea were analyzed via LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating,including basalt and andesite from Borehole SCSV1 and volcanic agglomerate from Borehole SCSV2,respectively.A total of 162 zircon U-Pb dates for them cover an age range from Neoarchean to Eocene,in which the pre-Paleocene data dominate.The Paleogene dates of 62.5±2.2 Ma and 42.1±2.9 Ma are associated with two igneous episodes prior to opening of South China Sea basin.Those pre-Paleocene zircons are inherited zircons mostly with magmatogenic oscillatory zones,and have REE features of crustal zircon.Zircon U-Pb dates of 2518–2481 Ma,1933– 1724 Ma,and 1094–1040 Ma from the SCSV1 volcanics,and 2810–2718 Ma,2458–2421 Ma,and 1850 –993.4 Ma from the SCSV2 volcanics reveal part of Precambrian evolution of the northern South China Sea,well comparable with age records dated from the Cathaysia block.The data of 927.0±6.9 Ma and 781±38 Ma dated from the SCSV2 coincide with amalgamation between Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks and breakup of the Rodinia,respectively.The age records of Caledonian orogeny from the Cathaysia block are widely found from our volcanic samples with concordant mean ages of 432.0±5.8 Ma from the SCSV1 and of 437±15 Ma from the SCSV2.The part of the northern South China Sea resembling the Cathaysia underwent Indosinian and Yanshannian tectonothermal events.Their age signatures from the SCSV1 cover 266.5±3.5 Ma,241.1±6.0 Ma,184.0±4.2 Ma,160.9±4.2 Ma and 102.8±2.6 Ma,and from the SCSV2 are 244±15 Ma,158.1±3.5 Ma,141±13 Ma and 96.3±2.1 Ma.Our pre-Paleogene U-Pb age spectra of zircons from the borehole volcanics indicate that the northern South China Sea underwent an evolution from formation of Precambrian basement,Caledonian orogeny,and Indosinian orogeny to Yanshannian magmatism.This process can be well comparable with the tectonic evolution of South China,largely supporting the areas of the northern South China Sea as part of southward extension of the Cathaysia.  相似文献   

Mining soil databases for landscape‐scale patterns in the abundance and size distribution of hillslope rock fragments     

Jill A. Marshall  Leonard S. Sklar 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2012,37(3):287-300

Landscape‐scale variation in rock fragments on soil‐mantled hillslopes is poorly understood, despite the potential importance of rock fragments in soil weathering and coarse sediment supply to river networks. We explored the utility of soil survey databases for data mining, with the goals of identifying landscape‐scale patterns in the abundance and size distribution of rock fragments (diameter D > 2 mm) and potential controls on grain size production. We focus on data from three regions: the Hawaiian Islands, and the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountains, where elevation transects span a range of environmental conditions. We selected pedons from pits dug on hillslopes with active soil production and transport. For the 27 pedons selected, we constructed depth‐averaged grain size distributions and calculated the mass fraction of rock fragments (F_RF) and the median rock fragment grain size (D_50RF). We also categorized as bimodal, size distributions with a clear ‘breakpoint’ between fine and coarse modes. Several strong patterns emerge from the data. We find rock fragments in 85% of the pedons, primarily in distinct coarse modes within bimodal size distributions. Values of F_RF and D_50RF are strongly correlated, although the best‐fit power law scaling between F_RF and D_50RF differs between the warmer Hawaiian, and colder Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountain sites. We also find a regional contrast in the variation in F_RF with elevation; F_RF declines with elevation in Hawaii, but increases in the mainland sites. Although this contrast could be an artifact of variable lithology, precipitation may influence many patterns in the data. Lower mean‐annual precipitation correlates with higher F_RF, dominantly bimodal distributions and surface enrichment in the vertical distribution of rock fragments. These observations may be useful in refining models of coarse sediment supply to rivers, and suggest opportunities for future work to test mechanistic hypotheses for rock fragment production on soil‐mantled hillslopes.

Interpretation of Magnetic Anomalies and Estimation of Depth of Magnetic Crust in Slovakia     

Kamil Rozimant  Aydin Büyüksaraç  Özcan Bektaş 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》2009,166(3):471-484

The magnetic map of Slovakia used in the paper was compiled as part of a project titled Atlas of Geophysical maps and profiles in 2001. The residual magnetic data were analyzed to produce Curie point estimates. To remove distortion of magnetic anomalies caused by the Earth’s magnetic field, reduction to pole transformation was applied to the magnetic anomalies using the magnetization angle of the induced magnetization. Anomalies reduced to the pole tend to be better correlated with tectonic structures. We applied a 3-km upward continuation to the residually compiled magnetic anomalies in order to remove effects of topography. The depth of magnetic dipoles was calculated by an azimuthally averaged power spectrum method for the entire area. Such estimates can be indicative of temperatures in the crust, since magnetic minerals lose their spontaneous magnetization according to Curie temperature of the dominant magnetic minerals in the rocks. The computed Curie point depths in the Slovakia region vary between 15.2 km and 20.9 km. Heat flow higher than 100 mWm⁻² occurs at the central volcanics and eastern part of Slovakia, where the Curie point depths values are shallow. The correlation between Curie point depths, heat flow and crust depth was investigated for two E-W cross sections. Heat flow and Curie point depth values are correlated with each other however, these values could not be correlated with crust depth. The Curie point isotherm, which separates magnetic and non-magnetic parts of the crust, is represented in two cross sections.  相似文献   

1956-2012年黄河源区流量演变的新特征及其成因   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

王欢  李栋梁  蒋元春 《冰川冻土》2014,36(2):403-412

利用黄河源区唐乃亥水文站1956-2012年的逐月流量实测资料,通过趋势分析、小波分析以及不均匀系数和贡献的计算,分析了1956-2012年57 a来黄河源区流量的趋势、年内双峰型变化新特征及其主要成因.结果表明：近57 a来黄河源区流量演变包括2个上升时段（1956-1967年和2002-2012年）、1个下降时段（1989-2002年）和1个振荡调整时段（1967-1989年）.流量年内分配不均匀性最大的是1980年代,最小的是1990年代.流量年内分配主要表现为双峰型,峰值点主要出现在7月和9月,但出现月份存在年际、年代际变化,且峰值点的月份也随着丰、枯水年存在着变化.降水对流量的正贡献呈7、9月双峰型,温度的负贡献则使9月峰值消失.当夏季高原附近区域,尤其是高原北侧低层600 hPa位势高度场降低,高原夏季风偏强时,有利于黄河源区降水增加、流量增大,出现流量年内分配的峰值点,且夏季高原高度场的变化对流量年内分配第二个峰值点（秋季）的出现有一定的指示意义.  相似文献

西大别地区定远组由浅变质的酸性火山岩(流纹岩和流纹质凝灰岩)和基性火山岩组成,二者在空间上互层产出,具典型的双峰式火山岩系组合特征,为认识南秦岭-大别造山带及扬子陆块北缘前寒武纪物质组成和地质演化提供了极佳的研究对象.通过对2件变流纹岩、1件变流纹质晶屑凝灰岩和1件变基性火山岩样品进行LA-ICP-MS锆石原位U-Pb测年,获得其成岩年龄分别为737±5Ma、740±3Ma、740±5Ma和739±6Ma.结果表明,定远组双峰式火山岩系形成时代并非前人认识的古生代,而是新元古代约740Ma.定远组与红安岩群双峰式火山建造形成时间基本一致,指示了西大别地区新元古代一次重要的拉张构造-岩浆事件,可能形成于大陆边缘裂谷环境.扬子陆块北缘武当-随枣-大别地区新元古代800～720Ma岩浆活动广泛且强烈,其峰期为755～730Ma,可能是对Rodinia超大陆裂解事件的响应.  相似文献   

地下开采引起围岩间断面变形特征的软材料小模型研究     

卢蓉  马凤山  郭捷  郭慧高  寇永渊 《地质力学学报》2018,24(5):670-675

为了研究地下开采引起围岩变形和断层活化现象,文章采用一种软材料的小模型进行地下开采间断面变形的模拟。模型中通过模拟一个矩形地下采区上方围岩的变形来研究一个水平间断面发生活化后的弯曲现象。模拟结果表明,间断面上的剪切位移分布具有"双峰"的特征或规律。这种分布特征或规律,得到了数值模拟结果的验证。同时,也证明了该方法的有效性。该方法最大的优点是,可以用小尺寸模型有效模拟在自重体积力作用下开挖引起的围岩变形现象,具有实验装置简单、实验用时短、操作方便、实验成本低等诸多优点,是一种值得推广的物理模拟方法。   相似文献
