About 36 lunar meteorites have been found in cold and hot deserts since the first one was found in 1979 in Antarctica. All are random samples ejected from unknown locations on the Moon by meteoroid impacts. Lithologically and compositionally there are three extreme types: (1) brecciated anorthosites with high Al₂O₃ (26–31%), low FeO (3–6%), and low incompatible elements (e.g., <1 μg/g Th), (2) basalts and brecciated basalts with high FeO (18–22%), moderately low Al₂O₃ (8–10%) and incompatible elements (0.4–2.1 μg/g Th), and (3) an impact-melt breccia of noritic composition (16% Al₂O₃, 11% FeO) with very high concentrations of incompatible elements (33 μg/g Th), a lithology that is identified as KREEP on the basis of its similarity to Apollo samples of that designation. Several meteorites are polymict breccias of intermediate composition because they contain both anorthosite and basalt. Despite the large range in compositions, a variety of compositional parameters together distinguish lunar meteorites from terrestrial materials. Compositional and petrographic data for lunar meteorites, when combined with mineralogical and compositional data obtained from orbiting spacecraft in the 1990s, suggest that Apollo samples identified with the magnesian (Mg-rich) suite of nonmare rocks (norite, troctolite, dunite, alkali anorthosite, and KREEP) are all products of a small, geochemically anomalous (noritic, high Th) region of crust known as the Procellarum KREEP Terrane and are not, as generally assumed, indigenous to the vast expanse of typical feldspathic crust known as the Feldspathic Highlands Terrane. Magnesian-suite rocks such as those of the Apollo collection do not occur as clasts in the feldspathic lunar meteorites. The misconception is a consequence of four historical factors: (1) the Moon has long been viewed as simply bimodal in geology, mare or highlands, (2) one of the last, large basin-forming bolides impacted in the Procellarum KREEP Terrane, dispersing Th-rich material, (3) although it was not known at the time, the Apollo missions all landed in or near the anomalous Procellarum KREEP Terrane and collected many Th-rich samples formed therein, and (4) the Apollo samples were interpreted and models for lunar crust formation developed without recognition of the anomaly because global data provided by orbiting missions and lunar meteorites were obtained only years later.  相似文献

1 Introduction Hydrofracturing is possibly an important fracture behavior within the whole lithospheric crust, many geologists have noticed and carried out study on hydrofracturing in the fluid-rock systems (e.g., Phillips, 1972; Sibson, 1986; Fyfe, 1987; Svyatoslav and Kirill, 1993; Cox, 1995; Nakashima and Toriumi, 1996; James et al., 2000; Agust et al., 2002). Hydrofracturing phenomena are universally existent in the active structural belts, nonlinear tension vein systems in metamorphi…  相似文献   

广东湛江陨击混杂堆积层的发现及其意义   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

尹延鸿  孙嘉诗 《地学前缘》2006,13(4):267-273

通过野外地质调查和取样分析,首次在广东湛江地区中更新统早期的北海组地层中发现了一层罕见的陨击混杂堆积层,它是陨击作用下的特殊产物,是北海组含砾砂、粘土质砂在陨击高温作用下烧结、抛射堆积而形成的。陨击混杂堆积层主要分布在湛江坡头的部分地区,有的出露地表,有的为第四系所覆盖,厚度大约为0·1~4m。陨击混杂堆积层中共生玻璃陨石(雷公墨)。陨击混杂堆积层中的击变岩砾石与原岩相比较,Si O2的含量明显减少,Fe2O3的含量明显增加,其他化学成分及含量与原岩近于一致。陨击混杂堆积层的发现可能对澳大利亚—东南亚微玻璃陨石场陨击源坑的寻找和探讨该期玻璃陨石和微玻璃陨石与靶岩之间的关系有重要意义。  相似文献   

祁雨沟含金角砾岩筒中的冰长石-方解石组合及其矿床地质意义   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

张元厚张世红  韩以贵韩军  赵英豪Franco Pirajno 《岩石矿物学杂志》2006,25(1):77-84

通过野外地质、岩相学、拉曼光谱和电子探针分析，对祁雨沟2号和4号含金角砾岩筒中冰长石-方解石蚀变矿物组合特征进行了描述。含金角砾岩筒成矿作用分为两期：面状矿化和脉状矿化。面状矿化的蚀变主要有阳起石化、绿色黑云母化、绿泥石化、冰长石化、硅化、绿帘石化、黄铁矿化、碳酸盐化和少量的绢云母化。脉状矿化蚀变为硅化、绢云母化和少量的碳酸盐化。通过对角砾岩筒的蚀变与成矿作用关系研究，认为冰长石-方解石蚀变与含金角砾岩金成矿作用是同期，从而确定祁雨沟含金角砾岩筒是一个典型的低硫型浅成低温热液型金矿床。  相似文献

鲜思远 《沉积与特提斯地质》1998,18(5):28-56

笔者系统研究了广西六景中泥盆统民塘组底部的硅化腕足化石,描述了３１个属种,其中新属、新亚属各１个,新种２０个,划分出Ｇｅｒａｎｏｃｅｐｈａｌｕｓ－Ｐｅｎｔａｍｅｒｅｌａ（下部）动物群和Ｓｔｒｉｎｇｏｃｅｐｈａｌｕｓ－Ｃｈａｎｇｔａｎｅｌａ（上部）两个动物群。着重对Ｇｅｒａｎｏｃｅｐｈａｌｕｓ－Ｐｅｎｔａｍｅｒｅｌａ动物群的特征与时代进行了讨论,其时代具浓厚的艾菲尔晚期的色彩。该动物群属老世界区的一部分,与美国内华达同期动物群有密切的亲缘关系,同时与欧洲（如德国、捷克以及乌拉尔地区）也有一定相似性,然而从种群而言,它是一个斩新的动物群。提出Ｇｅｒａｎｏｃｅｐｈａｌｕｓ不是Ｓｕｂｒｅｎｓｅｌ－ｌａｎｄｉａ与Ｓｔｉｎｇｏｃｅｐｈａｌｕｓ之间的中间形态,而是Ｒｅｎｓｅｌａｎｄｉａ与Ｓｔｉｎｇｏｃｅｐｈａｌｕｓ之间的中间形态,很可能Ｇｅｒａｎｏｃｅｐｈａｌｕｓ就是Ｓｔｉｎｇｏｃｅｐｈａｌｕｓ的先躯,它代表Ｒｅｎｓｓｅｌａｎｄｉａ向Ｓｔｉｎｇｏｃｅｐｈａｌｕｓ演化过程中的一个重要阶段。  相似文献

Enrichment characteristics of radioelements in various types of rock from Sambalpur district,Orissa, India     

A. A. P. S. R. Acharyulu  B. Sreenivasa Murty  B. K. Bhaumik 《Journal of Earth System Science》2004,113(3):321-352

Over the years a large number of rock samples were collected by the explorationists of Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD), Department of Atomic Energy from Sambalpur district, Orissa, India. The variation of uranium enrichment with various types of rock in these samples was studied with an aim to help quick reviewing of toposheets in case of newly taken up areas, for uranium exploration. The radioelements U, Th and K determined for these samples are plotted in ternary diagrams for classifying them as being uraniferous or thoriferous with respect to various type of rocks, keeping the total natural content of radioelements (expressed by eUP₃O₈) as a parameter. In this study it is seen that samples of quartzofeldspathic breccia type are enriched in uranium irrespective of their further sub classification and eU₃O₈ content. Granites are enriched in thorium when eU₃O₈ < 100 ppm and are enriched in uranium when eU₃O₈ > 100 ppm. A database prepared for this purpose may be useful for reviewing toposheets in future  相似文献
