Correspondence analysis applied to a comparison of some rhyolitic zones in the Noranda area (Quebec, Canada)     

Christina Dumitriu  Roger Webber  Michel David 《Mathematical Geology》1979,11(3):299-307

Correspondence analysis was applied to 177 chemical analyses (major elements) of rocks from some rhyolitic zones of the Noranda area (Quebec). The objective was to grade the individual sample sections with respect to their attractiveness considering the chemical alterations related to mineralization. The results obtained show that it is possible to differentiate sections from different rhyolitic horizons.  相似文献

相山铀矿田是我国最大的火山岩型铀矿田,区域内主要出露有碎斑熔岩、流纹英安岩、花岗斑岩等火山岩—潜火山岩。前人对这三种岩浆岩进行了较为详尽的年代学研究。近年来随着相山西部深部钻探的开展,发现钻孔中由上至下出现‘碎斑熔岩—流纹英安岩—碎斑熔岩’的现象,现有的年代学结果还不能给予合理的解释。为此,我们对相山西部典型钻孔中的上下两层碎斑熔岩及其间的流纹英安岩,以及相山北部和西部钻孔中的三个花岗斑岩样品进行了详细的年代学研究,结果显示,流纹英安岩的锆石206Pb/238 U加权平均年龄为139.7±1.0Ma,碎斑熔岩（上层）的加权平均年龄为135.3±0.9Ma,碎斑熔岩（下层）的加权平均年龄为129.9±0.9Ma,不同地点的三个花岗斑岩样品的加权平均年龄分别为125.4±1.0Ma, 134.4±1.3Ma,148.8±2.3Ma,结合上下两层碎斑熔岩的镜下特征,认为下层碎斑熔岩是在上层碎斑熔岩形成后沿流纹英安岩之下的凝灰岩接触面超浅层侵入形成,从而在剖面上显示出“上老下新”的特征。这些结果表明相山燕山期岩浆活动持续时间较长（长达约24Ma）,为成矿有利因素,而不是前人认为的相山燕山期岩浆活动是一次短暂而集中的活动。对相山火山—侵入杂岩锆石的Hf同位素研究表明,各岩石样品的锆石εHf(t)值相近,分布在-10.6~-4.9之间,锆石的Hf模式年龄TDM2介于1478~1844Ma之间,本研究认为相山火山—侵入杂岩体可能起源于相山深部中元古代岩地壳所衍生的基底副变质岩部分熔融。  相似文献   

Mantle heterogeneity,plume-lithosphere interaction at rift controlled ocean-continent transition zone: Evidence from trace-PGE geochemistry of Vempalle flows,Cuddapah Basin,India     

《地学前缘(英文版)》2018,9(6):1809-1827

This study reports major, trace, rare earth and platinum group element compositions of lava flows from the Vempalle Formation of Cuddapah Basin through an integrated petrological and geochemical approach to address mantle conditions, magma generation processes and tectonic regimes involved in their formation. Six flows have been identified on the basis of morphological features and systematic three-tier arrangement of vesicular-entablature-colonnade zones. Petrographically, the studied flows are porphyritic basalts with plagioclase and clinopyroxene representing dominant phenocrystal phases.Major and trace element characteristics reflect moderate magmatic differentiation and fractional crystallization of tholeiitic magmas. Chondrite-normalized REE patterns corroborate pronounced LREE/HREE fractionation with LREE enrichment over MREE and HREE. Primitive mantle normalized trace element abundances are marked by LILE-LREE enrichment with relative HFSE depletion collectively conforming to intraplate magmatism with contributions from sub-continental lithospheric mantle(SCLM) and extensive melt-crust interaction. PGE compositions of Vempalle lavas attest to early sulphur-saturated nature of magmas with pronounced sulphide fractionation, while PPGE enrichment over IPGE and higher Pd/Ir ratios accord to the role of a metasomatized lithospheric mantle in the genesis of the lava flows. HFSEREE-PGE systematics invoke heterogeneous mantle sources comprising depleted asthenospheric MORB type components combined with plume type melts. HFSE-REE variations account for polybaric melting at variable depths ranging from garnet to spinel lherzolite compositional domains of mantle. Intraplate tectonic setting for the Vempalle flows with P-MORB affinity is further substantiated by(i) their origin from a rising mantle plume trapping depleted asthenospheric MORB mantle during ascent,(ii) interaction between plume-derived melts and SCLM,(iii) their rift-controlled intrabasinal emplacement through Archeane Proterozoic cratonic blocks in a subduction-unrelated ocean-continent transition zone(OCTZ). The present study is significant in light of the evolution of Cuddapah basin in the global tectonic framework in terms of its association with Antarctica, plume incubation, lithospheric melting and thinning, asthenospheric infiltration collectively affecting the rifted margin of eastern Dharwar Craton and serving as precursors to supercontinent disintegration.  相似文献   

膏盐层在矽卡岩型铁矿成矿中的作用   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11

矽卡岩型铁矿是我国富铁矿的重要类型,约占全国富铁矿总储量的60%。虽然膏盐层与矽卡岩型铁矿的关系已引起部分矿床学家的关注,但膏盐层的控矿机制尚不清楚。本文以我国最重要的大冶式和邯邢式矽卡岩型铁矿为例,探讨了膏盐层在矽卡岩型铁矿成矿中的作用。膏盐层富含碳酸盐、石膏和石盐等,不仅可以为成矿提供大量Na⁺、Cl^-、CO3²⁺等矿化剂,使围岩发生钠长石化、方柱石化（氯化）和矽卡岩化等蚀变,使Fe²⁺以NaFe-Cl等络合物形式搬运,膏盐层还是地壳深处最重要的氧化障,能够将硅酸盐熔体和成矿溶液中的Fe²⁺氧化成Fe³⁺,富集形成铁矿床,是矽卡岩型铁矿成矿的关键因素。大冶地区的膏盐层属于中三叠统下部的嘉陵江组,邯邢地区的膏盐层属于中奥陶统马家沟组—峰峰组。大冶和邯邢式矽卡岩型铁矿中硫化物的δ³⁴S_V-CDT值异常高,计算结果表明矿床中约80%的硫来自膏盐层硫酸盐的还原,还原温度多在500℃以上,但硫化物的沉淀温度相对较低,就位时间稍晚;硫酸盐的δ³⁴S_V-CDT值和还原温度越高,硫化物的δ³⁴S_V-CDT值越高,原始岩浆硫所占比例越高,硫化物的δ³⁴S_V-CDT值越低。当炽热的岩浆与膏盐层（CaSO₄）发生同化混染时,SO₄^2-将硅酸盐熔体中的Fe²⁺氧化成Fe³⁺,Fe³⁺无法进入硅酸盐矿物晶格,而形成Fe₃O₄/Fe₂O₃进入熔体,铁氧化物在磷、氯化钠、水等挥发分和盐类物质的作用下在岩浆房中与硅酸盐熔体发生不混熔,形成铁矿浆,沿构造有利部位贯入,形成矿浆型铁矿床。在矽卡岩型铁矿床中,矿浆充填型和热液交代型矿体同时存在,二者在空间上具有一定的分带性,有时渐变过渡,矿浆充填型铁矿体通常位于深部靠近成矿岩体的部位,而热液交代型铁矿体位于成矿流体运移的前方。在SO₄^2-氧化Fe²⁺的同时自身被还原为S^2-,与Fe²⁺结合形成硫铁矿,分布在铁矿的上部或边部。  相似文献

大黑山火山是新疆阿什库勒火山群最大的火山,通过野外地质调查和遥感解译,火山锥体由渣锥、溅落锥和寄生火山锥组成。大黑山岩石类型分别为玄武粗安岩、粗面安山岩和粗面岩,钾玄岩系列。岩浆分离结晶特征明显,斜长石晶体析出导致残余熔体中δEu形成明显负异常。大黑山锥体南侧发育一套长约1.3km的碎屑熔岩。该套岩石显微薄片上表现为发育玻晶交织结构和溶蚀结构等熔岩结构特征,少许凝灰结构。碎屑主要为5~6cm的角砾,含少量的火山弹。角砾可能来自于大黑山火山较强的爆发,生成岩屑以及少量凝灰质碎屑。后期熔岩喷泉式喷发形成熔岩流,在流动过程中裹带大量的岩屑以及少量凝灰质碎屑。该套碎屑熔岩的发现,加深了对整个地区火山活动类型的了解。  相似文献   

Geochemical evidence for Late Cretaceous marginal arc-to-backarc transition in the Sabzevar ophiolitic extrusive sequence,northeast Iran     

《Journal of Asian Earth Sciences》2013

The ophiolitic extrusive sequence, exposed in an area north of Sabzevar, has three major parts: a lower part, with abundant breccia, hyaloclastic tuff, and sheet flow, a middle part with vesicular, aphyric pillow lava, and an upper part with a sequence of lava and volcanic-sedimentary rocks. Pelagic limestone interlayers contain Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian–Late Maastrichtian) microfauna. The supra-ophiolitic series includes a sequence of turbidititic and volcanic-sedimentary rocks with lava flow, aphyric and phyric lava, and interlayers of pelagic limestone and radiolarian chert. Paleontological investigation of the pelagic limestone and radiolarite interlayers in this series gives a Late Cretaceous age, supporting the idea that the supra-ophiolitic series formed in a trough, synchronous with the Sabzevar oceanic crust during the Late Cretaceous. Geochemical data indicate a relationship between lava in the upper part of the extrusive sequence and lava in the supra-ophiolitic series. These lavas have a calc-alkaline to almost alkaline characteristic, and show a clear depletion in Nb and definite depletions in Zr and Ti in spider diagrams. Data from these rocks plot in the subduction zone field in tectonomagmatic diagrams. The concentration and position of the heavy rare earth elements in the spider diagrams, and their slight variation, can be attributed to partial melting of the depleted mantle wedge above the subducted slab, and enrichment in the LILE can be attributed to subduction components (fluid, melt) released from the subducting slab. In comparison, the sheet flow and pillow lava of the lower and middle parts of the extrusive sequence show OIB characteristics and high potassium magmatic and shoshonitic trends, and their spider diagram patterns show Nb, Zr, and Ti depletions. The enrichment in the LILE in the spider diagram patterns suggest a low rate of partial melting of an enriched, garnet-bearing mantle. It seems that the marginal arc basin, in which the Sabzevar ophiolite was forming, experienced lithospheric extension in response to slab rollback. This process, which formed a backarc basin, may have aborted the embryonic arc, stopped arc magmatism, and led to the rise of mantle diapirs. The extrusive ophiolite sequence, north of Sabzevar probably formed during the transition from a marginal arc basin to a backarc basin during the Late Cretaceous.  相似文献   

Stratigraphy,distribution and geochemistry of widespread felsic volcanic units in the Mesoproterozoic Gawler Range Volcanics,South Australia   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

S. R. Allen  C. J. Simpson  J. McPhie  S. J. Daly 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(1):97-112

Three widespread felsic volcanic units, the Eucarro Rhyolite, Pondanna Dacite Member and Moonaree Dacite Member, have been distinguished in the Mesoproterozoic Gawler Range Volcanics. These three units are the largest in the Gawler Range Volcanics, each in excess of 500 km³. Each unit is ～300 m thick and includes a black, formerly glassy base, a granophyric columnar‐jointed interior, and an amygdaloidal outer margin. The units are very gently dipping and locally separated by thin (<20 m) lenses of either ignimbrite (Mt Double Ignimbrite), tuffaceous sandstone or faults. The youngest unit, the Moonaree Dacite Member, covers a central area with a diameter greater than 80 km. The southern two units have east‐west extents in the order of 180 km, but are much less extensive from south to north (5–60 km). All three units are dominated by euhedral phenocrysts and are relatively crystal rich. Both the Eucarro Rhyolite and Moonaree Dacite Member contain clasts of basement granitoid and other lithologies and are locally heterogeneous in texture and composition. Some granitoid clasts have disintegrated, liberating feldspar and quartz crystals into the surrounding host. These liberated crystals cause textural variations, but can be identified on the basis of shape (amoeboid or skeletal) and/or size (megacrysts). Textural and lithofacies characteristics are consistent with the interpretation that these units are lavas; the strongly elongate distribution and wide extent of the Eucarro Rhyolite and Pondanna Dacite Member could indicate that vents were aligned along an extensive east‐west‐trending fissure system. Stratigraphic nomenclature has been revised to better reflect the presence of the three emplacement units. The oldest unit, the Eucarro Rhyolite, is dominated by plagioclase‐phyric rhyolite that locally includes granitoid clasts and megacrysts. Along the northern margin, the rhyolite is amygdaloidal and has mingled with a quartz‐rich rhyolite (Paney Rhyolite Member). The Eucarro Rhyolite and Paney Rhyolite Member replace the formerly defined ‘Eucarro Dacite’, ‘Nonning Rhyodacite’, ‘Yannabie Rhyodacite’ and ‘Paney Rhyolite’. The two younger units, Pondanna Dacite Member and Moonaree Dacite Member, are compositionally and spatially distinct, newly defined members of the Yardea Dacite.  相似文献

在海城－草河口的北辽河群中分布大量变质基性火山岩和基性岩墙,其中辽阳河栏镇南部大石桥组中的基性火山岩保存有良好的枕状构造。这些变质枕状熔岩化学成分上低碱低钾富铁,具有岛弧拉斑玄武岩的特征,岩石稀土和微量元素特征指示变质枕状熔岩形成于与岛弧相关的构造背景,很可能是弧后盆地环境的产物,而非大陆裂谷。锆石年代学研究显示：变质枕状熔岩的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄为（1 869±28） Ma;变辉绿岩墙的形成年龄为（1 828±13） Ma,并有一组~2 080 Ma的捕获锆石年龄;花岗伟晶岩锆石U-Pb年龄为（1 869.7±7.6） Ma。结合岩石的产出状态和前人研究资料:推测变质枕状熔岩形成年龄为~1 880 Ma,可以代表北大石桥组的形成时代;花岗伟晶岩的年龄为~1 860 Ma,可作为造山作用结束的标志;变基性岩墙为~1 830 Ma,可作为后造山伸展张裂的标志。  相似文献   

Exploration of the extension of two lava tubes,faults and dikes using very low frequency-electromagnetic technique in NE Jordan     

Ahmad Al-Oufi  Hakam A. Mustafa  Eid Al-Tarazi  Jafar Abu Rajab 《Acta Geophysica》2008,56(2):466-484

The very low frequency-electromagnetic (VLF-EM) technique was used to delineate two sub-parallel lava tubes, faults and dikes in Umm El-Quttein area, NE Jordan. The investigation of the lava tubes was conducted through 22 VLF-EM profiles across lava strike; the length of profiles ranged from 700 to 1700 m. The lava tubes outcrop at two sites: Azzam cave and Al-Howa tunnel, characterized by slightly weathered basalt, columnar joints and fissure zones; qualitative interpretation of Fraser and Karous-Hjelt maps differentiate those zones as linear, elongated and circular anomalous zones. The 2-D tipper inversion of VLF-EM data and resistivity imaging had the potential to screen out three anomalous zones of likely resistivity contrast: the lava tube body with resistivity over 2500 Θ·m, the fractured zones with resistivity less than 500 Θ·m, and the host vesicular basalt with resistivity of 1500 Θ·m. The strike of lava tubes varied from SW to NE direction with depth less than 20 m and width from 10 to 30 m.  相似文献   

Geology of the Side Crater of the Erebus volcano,Antarctica     

Kurt S. Panter  Brian Winter 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》2008

The summit cone of the Erebus volcano contains two craters. The Main crater is roughly circular (∼ 500 m diameter) and contains an active persistent phonolite lava lake ∼ 200 m below the summit rim. The Side Crater is adjacent to the southwestern rim of the Main Crater. It is a smaller spoon-shaped Crater (250–350 m diameter, 50–100 m deep) and is inactive. The floor of the Side Crater is covered by snow/ice, volcanic colluvium or weakly developed volcanic soil in geothermal areas (a.k.a. warm ground). But in several places the walls of the Side Crater provide extensive vertical exposure of rock which offers an insight into the recent eruptive history of Erebus. The deposits consist of lava flows with subordinate volcanoclastic lithologies. Four lithostratigraphic units are described: SC 1 is a compound lava with complex internal flow fabrics; SC 2 consists of interbedded vitric lavas, autoclastic and pyroclastic breccias; SC 3 is a thick sequence of thin lavas with minor autoclastic breccias; SC 4 is a pyroclastic fall deposit containing large scoriaceous lava bombs in a matrix composed primarily of juvenile lapilli-sized pyroclasts. Ash-sized pyroclasts from SC 4 consist of two morphologic types, spongy and blocky, indicating a mixed strombolian-phreatomagmatic origin. All of the deposits are phonolitic and contain anorthoclase feldspar.  相似文献
