危地马拉硬玉岩与硬玉化绿辉石岩的岩石学特征及其地质意义

位于北美-加勒比板块俯冲带内的危地马拉硬玉岩区产有硬玉岩、榴辉岩、钠长岩等岩石类型,但绿辉石岩还没有详细报导过。研究样品为该区的硬玉岩和绿辉石岩,前者主要由Jd端元含量较高的硬玉组成,具有粒、柱状镶嵌结构。硬玉晶体具有显著的成分振荡环带,其核部及其背散射电子图像的浅色区Jd端元含量为94.81%～95.48%;暗色区Jd含量大于97.92%。后者绿辉石岩具有交代结构,主要由绿辉石和硬玉组成。其中绿辉石的CaO(9.01%～10.80%)和MgO(6.09%～7.94%)含量较高,FeO(2.84%～4.89%)含量较低;硬玉的CaO、MgO和FeO含量变化范围较大,分别为0.59%～4.30%,0.26%～3.05%,0.76%～2.87%。硬玉岩中流体包裹体的存在,以及绿辉石岩中显著的硬玉交代绿辉石现象说明其成因与缅甸硬玉一样,是硬玉质流体通过结晶-交代作用形成。硬玉岩中硬玉振荡的环带结构反映形成时温度-压力-组分体系存在振荡变化,平直连续的环带边界反映结晶时P-T条件位于硬玉稳定的低温高压区域。该区绿辉石岩的硬玉化作用清楚,能够观察到三期硬玉岩化作用现象,说明绿辉石岩可能是在硬玉岩的形成过程中,硬玉质流体与原岩辉石岩作用的结果,这进一步阐明了俯冲带内硬玉岩区硬玉质流体的广泛透入性与结晶交代作用的多样性。     

缅甸硬玉岩地区的热液型钠长石岩

产于俯冲带内的低温高压带的由单矿物构成的硬玉岩通常伴有钠长石岩,目前对于硬玉岩研究的关注度较高,而对于钠长石岩则相对较低,很少有相关论文报导.产于缅甸翡翠矿区的钠长石岩,经常与硬玉岩相伴而生,是良好的研究样品.钠长石岩的主要矿物成分是低温钠长石,其次含有硬玉、绿辉石、透辉石等辉石类矿物和钠透闪石、蓝透闪石、镁钠闪石等闪石类矿物,此外还有钠沸石等.钠长石沿着解理和裂隙交代硬玉,说明钠长石形成晚于硬玉岩.钠长岩中的主要组成矿物钠长石的形成温度小于300℃,且其形成压力小于0.5kb,推测是在硬玉岩抬升程中通过交代与沉淀作用形成.其内的透辉石有两种类型,一类可能是被交代的硬玉中的透辉石组分会渐进增加,最终形成透辉石.另一类是被绿辉石包裹的透辉石残留,其很有可能是早期来自地幔楔或者俯冲带岩石中的矿物残留,即异剥钙榴岩或辉石岩类,可以视作硬玉化绿辉石岩和硬玉化异剥钙榴岩的矿物学证据.热液型钠长石岩的存在进一步说明缅甸翡翠矿区钠化热液存在现象的普遍性与穿越性.     

危地马拉与缅甸含绿辉石翡翠的矿物学对比研究

以危地马拉蓝水料与缅甸油青种翡翠为研究对象,通过显微镜观察、岩石薄片观察、X射线粉末衍射分析、激光拉曼光谱分析、扫描电镜分析、电子探针分析等测试手段对两者进行了常规宝石学特征、结构特征、杂质矿物、化学成分等方面的对比研究。结果表明,危地马拉蓝水料发育等粒变晶结构,主要成分为硬玉,含有绿辉石,硬玉环带以2～3层为主,绿辉石分别以自形颗粒、交代残余、沿微裂隙充填3种形式存在,其中白色点状物为钠长石,绿色点状物为霓辉石和绿辉石的混杂物;缅甸油青种翡翠以硬玉为主颗粒相对粗大,呈柱粒状镶嵌结构,硬玉发育3～5层环带结构,绿辉石以脉状充填硬玉颗粒间隙或被硬玉颗粒交代呈孤岛状。危地马拉蓝水料硬玉颗粒与脉状绿辉石的CaO含量均高于缅甸油青种翡翠,另外由于霓辉石的存在,推测两产地翡翠结晶环境中的Ca、Fe含量可能存在差异。     

缅甸硬玉岩中的流体包裹体

缅甸硬玉岩是世界上最大和最重要的玉石矿床之一,位于印度板块和欧亚板块之间的新特提斯洋缝合带中。研究表明,缅甸硬玉岩是新特提斯洋壳俯冲过程中橄榄岩经高压变质、交代作用形成的。对不同变质程度缅甸硬玉岩样品中的流体包裹体的研究表明,缅甸硬玉岩中含有4种类型的流体包裹体:1不含或含少量甲烷的低盐度水溶液包裹体(Ⅰ型),呈孤立状或小群(簇状)产于硬玉晶体核部,或沿着硬玉晶体的生长环带分布,具有原生生长结构;2含石盐子晶的H2O+Na Cl±CH4三相包裹体(Ⅱ型);3纯甲烷(CH4)包裹体(Ⅲ型),可以细分为高密度(Ⅲa)和低密度(Ⅲb)两种;4气相或空包裹体(Ⅳ型)。研究表明,缅甸硬玉岩及其相关岩石在形成和演化过程中发生了多期次流体交代事件。硬玉形成过程中,交代橄榄岩的流体相可能来自海水。首次在缅甸硬玉岩中识别出高盐度的含水包裹体和高密度的含CH4包裹体。高盐度的含水包裹体可能与硬玉岩重结晶过程相关,而高密度的CH4流体可能为俯冲板片的上地幔楔中超基性岩蛇纹石化过程的副产物。计算的流体包裹体等容线表明,硬玉岩演化过程中这些流体包裹体发生了不同程度的再平衡。     

哈萨克斯坦伊特穆伦硬玉岩的矿物学特征

硬玉岩是一种较为少见的高压低温变质岩,不仅具有重要的科研价值,也是一种名贵的玉石材料。本文对产于哈萨克斯坦卡拉干达州伊特穆伦矿区的硬玉岩进行了岩相学观察和矿物化学成分分析,并与缅甸、俄罗斯和危地马拉的硬玉岩进行对比。结果表明,哈萨克斯坦硬玉岩主要组成矿物为硬玉、绿辉石以及少量方沸石和钠沸石,具有粒柱状变晶结构,硬玉矿物的平均化学成分为w(SiO2)=58.38%,w(Al2O3)=21.88%,w(Na2O)=12.69%,w(CaO)=3.40%,w(MgO)=2.58%,w(FeO)=0.29%。不同产地样品中绿辉石和硬玉的SiO2含量相差不大。哈萨克斯坦样品中绿辉石Na2O和FeO的含量略低于缅甸、俄罗斯和危地马拉,MgO和CaO稍高于其它3个产地,硬玉MgO和CaO略高于其它3个产地。     

俄罗斯极地乌拉尔Сыум-Key超基性岩体中的硬玉岩

俄罗斯极地乌拉尔Сыум-Key超基性岩体中的硬玉岩呈脉状在以叶蛇纹石为主的蛇纹岩中产出,硬玉岩由硬玉和绿辉石组成,根据硬玉岩的颜色、结构和构造可划分出三个世代,可能对应存在三期硬玉化过程.第一世代硬玉为主体,灰白色,粗粒结构,致密块状,硬玉分子(Jd)含量54%～88%;第二世代硬玉发育在灰白色硬玉中,呈浅绿色,细粒-隐晶结构,细脉状.囊状,硬玉分子(Jd)含量74%～86%;第三世代硬玉呈绿色-深绿色,半透明-透明,中-细粒结构,瘤状.第二、三世代硬玉达到珠宝首饰级,具有较高的商业价值.根据硬玉岩的产状和晶体具有韵律生长环带及流体包裹体发育等特征,认为硬玉岩是在高压低温环境中由富含Na、Al、Si的流体直接结晶形成的.     

蛇纹岩体中的硬玉岩与异剥钙榴岩

硬玉岩是一种稀少的岩类，常以构造岩包体和脉体的型式产出在蛇纹岩中。本文着重介绍与蛇纹岩化过程密切相关的硬玉岩。这类硬玉岩总是出现在洋壳俯冲碰撞带中，常常与蓝片岩、偶尔也与榴辉岩伴生。通过研究硬玉岩的矿物组合、化学成分和结构构造，综合世界各地硬玉岩产状，可将硬玉岩从广义的变质成因上分为三类，即：在蛇纹岩体中、或其它岩类包体中由交代作用形成的硬玉岩脉体；蛇纹岩中的构造岩成因岩石包体经固相变质作用后形成的块状硬玉岩：以及介于上述两者之间，由变质和交代的共同作用形成的硬玉岩。此外，还对交代成因的硬玉岩在蛇纹岩化过程中与异剥钙榴岩化作用的关系从流体及其化学成分演化的角度进行了分析和研究。提出了在海底和俯冲带上板片的构造背景下硬玉岩形成的模式。     

俄罗斯极地乌拉尔Сыум-Кеу超基性岩体中的硬玉岩

俄罗斯极地乌拉尔Сыум-Кеу超基性岩体中的硬玉岩呈脉状在以叶蛇纹石为主的蛇纹岩中产出,硬玉岩由硬玉和绿辉石组成,根据硬玉岩的颜色、结构和构造可划分出三个世代,可能对应存在三期硬玉化过程。第一世代硬玉为主体,灰白色,粗粒结构,致密块状,硬玉分子(Jd)含量54%～88%;第二世代硬玉发育在灰白色硬玉中,呈浅绿色,细粒-隐晶结构,细脉状-囊状,硬玉分子(Jd)含量74%～86%;第三世代硬玉呈绿色-深绿色,半透明-透明,中-细粒结构,瘤状。第二、三世代硬玉达到珠宝首饰级,具有较高的商业价值。根据硬玉岩的产状和晶体具有韵律生长环带及流体包裹体发育等特征,认为硬玉岩是在高压低温环境中由富含Na、Al、Si的流体直接结晶形成的。     

缅甸硬玉岩中硬玉矿物的结构水表征

本文介绍了名义上无水的辉石族矿物中结构水的研究现状,特别是硬玉矿物的结构水红外表征和含量。且笔者以缅甸硬玉岩为研究对象,使用显微红外光谱、电子探针等测试手段,从微观角度研究其中硬玉矿物的结构水表征。研究结果表明:缅甸硬玉岩中硬玉矿物的结构水在红外光谱中主要表征为3 610~3 620 cm-1和3 540~3 550cm-1两个区域的吸收峰,且结构疏松的硬玉岩中硬玉矿物的结构水含量呈现外侧多中间少,结构致密的硬玉矿物的结构水含量各部位较为均一。结构水的含量差异和变化趋势可能是硬玉岩形成时板块俯冲和折返过程中的流体参与作用的结果,进一步为缅甸硬玉岩成因提供了的佐证。     

硬玉岩在NCFMASH体系中的相平衡关系

根据缅甸硬玉岩的化学成分,利用相平衡热力学模拟硬玉岩的成因理论,采用对称溶体的模型表达式:RTlnγi=-∑∑(X0K-Xk)(X0j-Xj)Wkj,根据Holland等的热力学数据库,计算得出硬玉岩中4种端元矿物硬玉(Jd)、普通辉石(Acm)、透辉石(Di)与钙铁辉石(Hed)的Wkj值.     

The terrestrial fauna of the Late Triassic Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry fissures,South Wales,UK and a new species of Clevosaurus (Lepidosauria: Rhynchocephalia)

Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry in South Wales yielded a rich cache of fossils in the early 1950s, including articulated specimens of new species (the small sauropodomorph dinosaur Pantydraco caducus and the crocodylomorph Terrestrisuchus gracilis), but no substantial study of the wider fauna of the Pant-y-ffynnon fissure systems has been published. Here, our overview of existing specimens, a few described but mostly undescribed, as well as freshly processed material, provides a comprehensive picture of the Pant-y-ffynnon palaeo-island of the Late Triassic. This was an island with a relatively impoverished fauna dominated by small clevosaurs (rhynchocephalians), including a new species, Clevosaurus cambrica, described here from a partially articulated specimen and isolated bones. The new species has a dental morphology that is intermediate between the Late Triassic Clevosaurus hudsoni, from Cromhall Quarry to the east, and the younger C. convallis from Pant Quarry to the west, suggesting adaptive radiation of clevosaurs in the palaeo-archipelago. The larger reptiles on the palaeo-island do not exceed 1.5?m in length, including a small carnivorous crocodylomorph, Terrestrisuchus, and a possible example of insular dwarfism in the basal dinosaur Pantydraco.     

Définition d'une limite multicritère ; stratigraphie du passage Campanien–Maastrichtien du site géologique de Tercis (Landes,SW France)Definition of a multi-criteria boundary; stratigraphy of the Campanian–Maastrichtian interval of the geological site at Tercis (Landes,SW France)

Lithostratigraphy, physicochemical stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, and geochronology of the 77–70 Ma old series bracketing the Campanian–Maastrichtian boundary have been investigated by 70 experts. For the first time, direct relationships between macro- and microfossils have been established, as well as direct and indirect relationships between chemo-physical and biostratigraphical tools. A combination of criteria for selecting the boundary level, duration estimates, uncertainties on durations and on the location of biohorizons have been considered; new chronostratigraphic units are proposed. The geological site at Tercis is accepted by the Commission on Stratigraphy as the international reference for the stratigraphy of the studied interval. To cite this article: G.S. Odin, C. R.

The effect of water on accessory phase solubility in subaluminous and peralkaline granitic melts

The solubilities of columbite, tantalite, wolframite, rutile, zircon and hafnon were determined as a function of the water contents in peralkaline and subaluminous granite melts. All experiments were conducted at 1035 °C and 2 kbar and the water contents of the melts ranged from nominally dry to approximately 6 wt.% H₂O. Accessory phase solubilities are not affected by the water content of the peralkaline melt. By contrast, solubilities are affected by the water content of the subaluminous melt, where the solubilities of all the accessory phases examined increase with the water content of the melt, up to 2 wt.% H₂O. At higher water contents, solubilities are nearly constant. It can be concluded that water is not an important control of accessory phase solubility, although the water content will affect diffusivities of components in the melt, thus whether or not accessory phases will be present as restite material. The solubility behaviour in the subaluminous and peralkaline melts supports previous spectroscopic studies, which have observed differences in the coordination of high field strength elements in dry vs. wet subaluminous granitic glasses, but not for peralkaline granitic glasses. Lastly, the fact that wolframite solubility increases with increasing water content in the subaluminous melt suggests that tungsten dissolved as a hexavalent species.     

Quaternary stresses revealed by calcite twinning inversion: insights from observations in the Savonnières underground quarry (eastern France)

Calcite samples were extracted both from the rock matrix and the superficial coating of a karstified fault plane of an underground quarry, located in the eastern border of the Paris basin. The karstification is dated as Quaternary. Analysis of mechanical calcite twinning reveals that only the calcite matrix has also undergone a compression trending WNW that can be attributed to the Mio-Pliocene alpine collision. Both coating and matrix have undergone a strike-slip regime with σ₁ roughly trending north–south, that could correspond to the regional present-day state of stress, a strike-slip compression rather trending NNW, modified by local phenomena.
