Understanding the timing of mountain glacier and paleolake expansion and retraction in the Great Basin region of the western United States has important implications for regional-scale climate change during the last Pleistocene glaciation. The relative timing of mountain glacier maxima and the well-studied Lake Bonneville highstand has been unclear, however, owing to poor chronological limits on glacial deposits. Here, this problem is addressed by applying terrestrial cosmogenic ¹⁰Be exposure dating to a classic set of terminal moraines in Little Cottonwood and American Fork Canyons in the western Wasatch Mountains. The exposure ages indicate that the main phase of deglaciation began at 15.7 ± 1.3 ka in both canyons. This update to the glacial chronology of the western Wasatch Mountains can be reconciled with previous stratigraphic observations of glacial and paleolake deposits in this area, and indicates that the start of deglaciation occurred during or at the end of the Lake Bonneville hydrologic maximum. The glacial chronology reported here is consistent with the growing body of data suggesting that mountain glaciers in the western U.S. began retreating as many as 4 ka after the start of northern hemisphere deglaciation (at ca. 19 ka).  相似文献

乌鲁木齐河源于天山北列喀拉乌成山的北坡,区内保存着形态多样、较为清晰的第四纪冰川侵蚀与沉积地形.经过老中青数代人的考察研究,取得如下研究成果:1)查清了河源区冰川地形的分布与特征,运用冰川沉积学与地貌地层学原理对乌鲁木齐河出山口处的扇形地进行了冰川与非冰川成因的鉴别;2)基于地衣法、常规14 C与AMS14 C、TL、ESR、CRN(10Be)等多种定年方法的测年结果,并结合地貌地层学原理,建立了乌鲁木齐河流域小冰期、新冰期、末次冰期(MIS 2～4)、MIS 6与MIS12较完整的冰川演化序列,为我国第四纪冰川研究树立了一个典型范例.展望未来,乌鲁木齐河源区的冰川地貌演化模拟与古环境重建等需作进一步研究,喀拉乌成山南坡的冰川地形有待进行综合定年;若以乌鲁木齐河源流域冰期序列为参照,冰川发育与天山的构造抬升以及东、中与西段天山冰川发育是否具有一致性,天山地区是否保存有更老冰碛等科学问题尚待深入探讨.  相似文献

大同地区相继发现了一系列与侵入岩有关的铜钼矿点和矿化点,布斯拉津铜钼矿化点是在大同地区新发现的岩浆热液脉状铜钼矿化点。首次采用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年技术对大同地区布斯拉津含矿黑云母石英二长岩和花岗细晶岩进行锆石U-Pb同位素测年,获得成岩年龄分别为446Ma和449Ma;对辉钼矿中Re-Os同位素进行测试,获得等时线年龄为435±25Ma,表明大同地区成矿作用略晚于成岩作用,岩浆热液铜钼矿化是加里东中期的构造、岩浆活动的产物,成矿物质来源以壳幔混源为主,成矿作用与古亚洲构造域和特提斯构造域的复合演化有关。发生于加里东中期的这一成矿事件,是在俯冲挤压背景下的间歇拉张作用影响下的强烈岩浆活动和成矿作用的产物。  相似文献

Geological characteristics and metallogenic prospect of marine volcanic rock-type copper deposits in eastern Kunlun Mountains area,Xinjiang

The Katelixi Cu-Zn deposit is a marine volcanic rock-type copper deposit discovered for the first time in the Tokuzidaban Group in eastern Kunlun Mountains area. It is hosted in the Lower Carboniferous Tokuzidaban Group volcanic strata. The orebodies are obviously controlled by the strata and their ore-bearing rocks are a suite of greyish-green mafic tuffs, generally parallel-stratiform, stratoid and lenticular in form, occurring in limestone as well as in the contact between limestone and carbon-bearing siltstone. This ore deposit possesses distinct characteristics of marine volcanic rock sedimentaion. The geological, petrochemical and REE characteristics of its occurrence pro-vide strong evidence suggesting that this deposit is of marine volcanic rock sedimention origin, basically identical to those of some typical marine volcanic rock-type copper deposits in Xinjiang and other parts of China. Marine vol-canic rocks are well developed in the Lower Carboniferous Tokuzidaban strata in eastern Kunlun Mountains area. In addition to this deposit, we have also found a number of copper polymetallic ore deposits or occurrences in associa-tion with marine volcanc activities in many places where there is a good metallogenic prospect. A breakthrough in the understanding of ore prospecting and genesis has not only filled up the gap in prospecting this type of ore depos-its in this area, but also is of great significance in directing exploration of this type of ore deposits in this area.  相似文献

小兴安岭北东段地处环太平洋成矿域与古亚洲成矿域叠合区,经历了中新生代以来的火山-岩浆作用,是火山热液型铀矿床的有利产出部位。通过分析小兴安岭北东段地质背景、成矿地质条件,对比俄罗斯卡缅努什火山机构拉斯托契卡矿床,提出NE、NW向和SN向的贯通性基底断裂,以及晚中生代火山塌陷盆地和潜火山岩浆活动中心为该区铀成矿有利地段。铀矿化受溢流相霏细岩、流纹岩、流纹斑岩,以及喷发相凝灰岩,火山侵入相霏细斑岩、花岗斑岩、闪长斑岩和闪长玢岩控制。本区的南峦、宁远村、汤源和翠峦等火山塌陷盆地是铀成矿最有远景的盆地。  相似文献
