Cores collected from Mississippi Sound and the inner shelf of the northeast Gulf of Mexico have been examined using ²¹⁰Pb and ¹³⁷Cs geochronology, X-radiography, granulometry, and a multi-sensor core logger. The results indicate that widespread event layers were probably produced by an unnamed hurricane in 1947 and by Hurricane Camille in 1969. Physical and biological post-depositional processes have reworked the event layers, producing regional discontinuities and localized truncation, and resulting in an imperfect and biased record of sedimentary processes during the storms. The oceanographic and sedimentological processes that produced these event beds have been simulated using a suite of numerical models: (1) a parametric cyclone wind model; (2) the SWAN third-generation wave model; (3) the ADCIRC 2D finite-element hydrodynamic model; (4) the Princeton Ocean Model; (5) a coupled wave–current bottom boundary layer-sedimentation model; and (6) a model for bed preservation potential as a function of burial rate and bioturbation rate. Simulated cores from the Mississippi Sound region are consistent with the observed stratigraphy and geochronology on both the landward and seaward sides of the barrier islands.  相似文献   

Early Paleozoic Magmatism in Himalayan Orogen: The Geochronological Study on Augen Gneisses from Gyirongand Nyalam Areas,Southern Tibet     

Wang Xiaoxian  Zhang Jinjiang  Wang Jiamin 《地球科学进展》2016,31(4):391-402

In the Gyirong and Nyalam areas, a massive amount of augen gneisses are extensively exposed in the middle Himalayan orogen. They consist of quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, biotite and minor muscovite. Zircons from augen gneisses have magmatic rims indicated by concentric oscillatory zoning. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating gave weighted mean ages of (488.5±1.1) Ma (MSWD=0.6)、(475.1±0.7) Ma (MSWD=1.5) and (468.1±2.5) Ma (MSWD=4.2), hinting early Paleozoic magmatism in the Greater Himalayan Crystalline complex (GHC). The data in this study and other published geochronological results of Cambrian-Ordovician magmatites demonstrated that early Paleozoic orogenesis existed in the Himalayas. Early Paleozoic tectonic events preserved in Himalayas are well compared with the contemporaneous ones in the Lhasa terrane, Qiangtang terrane, Baoshan terrane and Tengchong terrane located in the south and southeast of Tibet Plateau. Integrating previous studies, we suggested an Andean-type orogeny corresponding to dynamic adjusting of the plates by subduction of the Proto-Tethys Ocean lithosphere along the northern margin of Gondwana, instead of Pan-African orogeny that was characterized by the continent-continent collisions during Gondwana assembly.  相似文献

太平山铁矿床位于长江中下游成矿带宁芜火山岩盆地南段的钟姑矿田北东部。与区域玢岩型铁矿赋矿岩石不同的是,太平山铁矿床赋存在二长岩中。对赋矿二长岩开展LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年和岩石地球化学特征分析,探讨其成岩成矿地质意义。研究显示,太平山铁矿床中二长岩的锆石~(206)Pb/~(238)U加权平均年龄在129.0±2.0 Ma~132.8±1.8 Ma之间,属于早白垩世,与钟姑矿田内其他铁矿床的赋矿岩石年龄一致,与整个宁芜火山岩盆地内赋矿的闪长质岩浆活动时限也相吻合;二长岩总体具有大离子亲石元素Rb、Ba、Th、K相对富集,高场强元素Nb、Hf轻微亏损,P、Ti明显亏损的特征;微量元素对Nb/La比值1,Nb/U值介于3.05~5.46之间,低于全球MORB和OIB的平均值,也低于地壳的平均值,表明其起源于富集的交代岩石圈地幔并受到地壳物质混染,岩浆起源及演化与钟姑矿田、宁芜火山岩盆地内的赋矿闪长玢岩具有相似的特征。太平山铁矿床的成岩成矿作用应形成于中国东部整体岩石圈减薄的地球动力学背景,具有新的铁成矿指示意义。  相似文献   

额尔古纳地块新元古代岩浆作用:锆石U-Pb年代学证据   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

本文拟在研究区确定新元古代岩浆作用期次,进而在一定程度上从岩浆活动的角度制约额尔古纳地块的构造属性,故在前人工作的基础上,对额尔古纳地块新元古代侵入岩进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年。研究区内6个代表性侵入岩中的锆石大部分呈自形–半自形晶,显示出典型的岩浆生长环带或条痕状吸收的特点,暗示其为岩浆成因。结合前人研究结果及本文测年结果,可将额尔古纳地块上新元古代岩浆作用划分为七期:1~927 Ma的碱长花岗岩;2~890 Ma的二长花岗岩;3~851 Ma的正长花岗岩;4~830 Ma的正长花岗岩和二长花岗岩;5~790 Ma的双峰式火成岩(包括辉长岩、辉长闪长岩、碱长花岗岩、正长花岗岩和花岗闪长岩);6~762 Ma的花岗闪长岩;7~737 Ma的正长花岗岩和二长花岗岩。这些新元古代侵入岩的发现表明额尔古纳地块上存在前寒武纪地质体。结合全球岩浆构造热事件,可以判定额尔古纳地块新元古代岩浆作用应是对Rodinia超大陆演化的响应,并且这些岩浆事件可以同图瓦–蒙古地块和中蒙古地块上发育的同期岩浆事件相对比,这暗示额尔古纳地块与西伯利亚克拉通南缘的这些微陆块具有亲缘性。  相似文献   

松辽盆地北部火山岩锆石SHRIMP测年与营城组时代探讨   总被引：5，自引：1，他引：4

前人对松辽盆地营城组的时代存在不同认识。利用松辽盆地北部徐家围子断陷区营城组广泛发育的中—酸性火山岩取芯资料,开展了详细的火山岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年代学研究,结果表明营城组火山岩年龄集中在113—111Ma之间,属于早白垩世晚期的Aptian与Albian界线附近,从而明确该套火山岩应发育在营城组中上部的新认识,并由此说明营城组的顶界已跨入Albian。因此,认为松辽盆地营城组的时代为Hauterivian到Albian。  相似文献   

砂岩副矿物的物源区分析新进展   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

王建刚  胡修棉 《地质论评》2008,54(5):670-678

物源区分析是盆地分析和古地理重建的重要研究方法,有很长的研究历史。随着分析测试技术的进步,物源区分析的方法不断发展,分析精度也不断提高。电子探针、离子探针和LAICPMS等微区原位分析技术的发展,使得基于单矿物地球化学和同位素年代学的物源区分析方法取得了长足的进步,代表了物源区分析的最新发展方向。本文介绍了砂岩中常见副矿物铬尖晶石、金红石的地球化学分析以及锆石UPb年龄、白云母ArAr年龄在物源区分析中的应用。同时,作者认为物源区分析往往是基于碎屑矿物的化学成分或年龄与可能物源区的对比,且只具有统计意义。因此,深入了解区域地质情况和可能的物源区的地质信息,测试一定数量的颗粒进行统计分析,才能得出合理的结果。  相似文献   

Detrital-zircon geochronology of Paleozoic sedimentary rocks in the Hangay–Hentey basin, north-central Mongolia: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean in central Asia

Understanding the development of the Central Asian Orogenic System (CAOS), which is the largest Phanerozoic accretionary orogen in the world, is critical to the determination of continental growth mechanisms and geological history of central Asia. A key to unraveling its geological history is to ascertain the origin and tectonic setting of the large flysch complexes that dominate the CAOS. These complexes have been variably interpreted as deep-marine deposits that were accreted onto a long-evolving arc against large continents to form a mega-accretionary complex or sediments trapped in back-arc to fore-arc basins within oceanic island-arc systems far from continents. To differentiate the above models we conducted U–Pb geochronological analyses of detrital-zircon grains from turbidites in the composite Hangay–Hentey basin of central Mongolia. This basin was divided by a Cenozoic fault system into the western and eastern sub-basins: the Hangay Basin in the west and Hentey basin in the east. This study focuses on the Hentey basin and indicates two groups of samples within this basin: (1) a southern group that were deposited after the earliest Carboniferous ( 339 Ma to 354 Ma) and a northern group that were deposited after the Cambrian to Neoproterozoic ( 504 Ma to 605 Ma). The samples from the northern part of the basin consistently contain Paleoproterozoic and Archean zircon grains that may have been derived from the Tuva–Mongol massif and/or the Siberian craton. In contrast, samples from the southern part of the basin contain only a minor component of early Paleozoic to Neoproterozoic zircon grains, which were derived from the crystalline basement bounding the Hangay–Hentey basin. Integrating all the age results from this study, we suggest that the Hangay–Hentey basin was developed between an island-arc system with a Neoproterozoic basement in the south and an Andean continental-margin arc in the north. The initiation of the southern arc occurred at or after the early Carboniferous, allowing accumulation of a flysch complex in a long-evolving accretionary complex.  相似文献   

The Yudomian of Siberia,Vendian and Ediacaran systems of the International stratigraphic scale     

V. V. Khomentovsky 《Stratigraphy and Geological Correlation》2008,16(6):581-598

In Russia, the terminal Neoproterozoic formally includes the Vendian of western part of the East European platform and the concurrent Yudoma Group of Siberia. As is shown in this work, the designated subdivisions correspond in the stratotypes only to the upper, Yudomian Series of the Vendian. In the Siberian platform, the Ust-Yudoma and Aim horizons of the Yudomian are tightly interrelated. The lower of them, bearing remains of Ediacaran Fauna, represents the Ediacarian Stage, whereas the upper one containing small-shelled fossils (SSF) corresponds to the Nemakit-Daldynian Stage divided into the trisulcatus and antiqua superregional zones. In more complete sections of the platform periphery, sediments of these subdivisions conformably rest on siliciclastic succession that should be ranked as basal subdivision of the Yudomian. The succession is concurrent to the Laplandian Stage of the East European platform. According to geochronological dates obtained recently, the Yudomian Series spans interval of 600–540 Ma. In the East European platform, the Upper Vendian (Yudomian) begins with the Laplandian basal tillites of synonymous stage. In the west of the platform, tillites are dated at 600 Ma like the Upper Vendian base in Siberia. The next Ediacarian Stage of the East European platform is stratigraphic equivalent of the Redkino Horizon, while summary range of the Kotlin and Rovno horizons is concurrent to that of the Nemakit-Daldynian Stage. The Vendian of Russia is conformably overlain by the Tommotian Stage of the Lower Cambrian. Intense pre-Vendian events constrained distribution areas of the Lower Vendian sediments in Russia. The Lower Vendian deposits of the East European platform are most representative and well studied in the central Urals, where they are attributed to the Serebryanka Group. In Siberia, separate subdivisions representing the Lower Vendian are the Maastakh Formation of the Olenek Uplift, two lower members of the Ushakovka Formation in the Baikal region, and the Taseeva Group of the Yenisei Range. Chronological interval of the Lower Vendian corresponds to 650–600 Ma. The Marinoan Glaciation dated in Australia at 650–635 Ma is concurrent to basal part of the pre-Yudomian interval of the Vendian in Russia, whereas the Laplandian Tillite and Gaskiers Glaciation (600–580 Ma) correspond to onset of the Yudomian Epoch. The new Ediacaran System (Knoll et al., 2004) legalized in the International Neoproterozoic scale is close in range to the entire Vendian (635–544 Ma), although without basal beds (Marinoan Tillite) it deprives the terminal Neoproterozoic of its original sense. Inferiority of the system consists also in its indivisibility into stages. Hence, it is clear that the Vendian System subdivided in detail in Russia should be retained in the rank of terminal system of the Precambrian, one of the basic in general scale of the Neoproterozoic.  相似文献   

Geology and Re-Os Geochronology of Mineralization of the Miduk Porphyry Copper Deposit, Iran     

Nader Taghipour    Alijan Aftabi  Ryan Mathur 《Resource Geology》2008,58(2):143-160

The Miduk porphyry copper deposit is located in Kerman province, 85 km northwest of the Sar Cheshmeh porphyry copper deposit, Iran. The deposit is hosted by Eocene volcanic rocks of andesitic–basaltic composition. The porphyry‐type mineralization is associated with two Miocene calc‐alkaline intrusive phases (P1 and P2, respectively). Five hypogene alteration zones are distinguished at the Miduk deposit, including magnetite‐rich potassic, potassic, potassic–phyllic, phyllic and propylitic. Mineralization occurs as stockwork, dissemination and nine generations (magnetite, quartz–magnetite, barren quartz, quartz‐magnetite‐chalcopyrite‐anhydrite, chalcopyrite–anhydrite, quartz‐chalcopyrite‐anhydrite‐pyrite, quartz‐molybdenite‐anhydrite ± chalcopyrite ± magnetite, pyrite, and quartz‐pyrite‐anhydrite ± sericite) of veinlets and veins. Early stages of mineralization consist of magnetite rich veins in the deepest part of the deposit and the main stage of mineralization contains chalcopyrite, magnetite and anhydrite in the potassic zone. The high intensity of mineralization is associated with P2 porphyry (Miduk porphyry). Based on petrography, mineralogy, alteration halos and geochemistry, the Miduk porphyry copper deposit is similar to those of continental arc setting porphyry copper deposits. The Re‐Os molybdenite dates provide the timing of sulfide mineralization at 12.23 ± 0.07 Ma, coincident with U/Pb zircon ages of the P2 porphyry. This evidence indicates a direct genetic relationship between the Miduk porphyry stock and molybdenite mineralization. The Re‐Os age of the Miduk deposit marks the main stage of magmatism and porphyry copper formation in the Central Iranian volcano‐plutonic belt.  相似文献   

GGR Critical Review of Analytical Developments in 2006–2007     

Janet M. Hergt  L. Paul Bédard  Stefanie M. Brueckner  Klaus Peter Jochum  Kathryn L. Linge  Paul J. Sylvester  Michael Wiedenbeck  Jon D. Woodhead 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2008,32(4):397-398

In 2005 the Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research editorial team, in the true spirit of scientific endeavour, embarked on an experiment of our own. We decided to trial a new kind of review, somewhat different from those more typically observed in journals, and one that would provide readers with a summary of analytical developments across a broad range of topics appropriate to the Earth sciences. The first contribution of this kind appeared in 2005, and reported on developments in 2003 (Hergt et al. 2005). The second, this time a biennial review, was published in 2006 and reported on highlights of the 2004 and 2005 literature (Hergt et al. 2006). Based on reprint requests, positive remarks at conferences and strong citations we consider the experiment a resounding success and proudly present here the third in this series. This comprises six individual review sections that cover the main analytical technologies and topical application fields in geoanalysis and geochemistry, including geological and environmental reference materials, ICP‐thermal and secondary ionisation‐mass spectrometry, as well as neutron activation analysis, X‐ray fluorescence and atomic absorption spectrometry.  相似文献
