The deposit is considered as one of the hypabyssal low-temprature hydrothermal lead-zinc deposits associated with volcanism. In order to lay the foundation on studying its diagenesis and mineralization ages,the detailed studies were carried out by dating the host rocks( i. e. rhyolitic lithic-crystal tuffs) using zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb method.The dating results show three groups of ages. The first group is the captured zircons( the weighted mean ^(206)Pb /^(238) U age as 175. 6 ± 2. 3 Ma,MSWD = 0. 70,n = 3). The second group can be regarded as the rockforming age( the weighted mean ^(206)Pb /^(238) U age as 165. 3 ± 1. 9 Ma,MSWD = 2. 40,n = 14). The third group should represent the late stage of the magmatic evolution( the weighted mean ^(206)Pb /^(238) U age as 161. 0 ± 3. 1Ma,MSWD = 0. 86,n = 4). According to the ages and the crystal form or CL image characteristics of zircons,it is determined that the diagenesis occurred in the late Middle Jurassic. Based on the regional geology and geochronological research,the acidic pyroclastic rocks are space accompaniment and time connection with the Tamulangou Formation intermediate-mafic volcanic rocks. Both of them constitute the host rocks of the deposit together. The rock combination also provides favorable conditions for large-scale silver,lead and zinc mineralization in this area.展开更多

In the mid-low mountain areas, the existence of Quaternary glacier as well as its range and nature are always controversial. The glacial paleogeomorphology of Northeast China had been extensively studied and explored. The results revealed that Quaternary glaciers was developed in the northern part of Great Hinggan Ranges and Changbai Mountains. However, some scholars believed that the development of the Quaternary glaciers in China resulted from tectonic coupling and close relation with the elevation of mountains. In Northeast China, glaciation did not occur in any mid-low mountain areas during the Quaternary except the Changbai Mountains where the elevation is more than 2600 m. The question is whether glaciation occurred in the mid-low mountain areas of Northeast China during the Quaternary？ In order to clarify this question, this paper reports the Quaternary glacial remains of Tala Mountain, which were newly discovered in Ar Horqin Banner, lnner Mongolia and their age dating.展开更多

This article attempts to extract characteristics of the weathering pits by descriptive statistics and orientation rose diagrams, investigate the multi-phase evolution by the modified gnamma morphological analysis （GMA） method, and shed new light on the possible genesis and the influencing factors. Following the modified GMA method, weathering pits in Qing Mountain have been divided into six groups and compared with analogous sites to deduce their approximate age, which might be no older than 30 ka B.P., and explore the possibility that the multi-phase evolution of weathering pits may arise from responses to climate change. In consequence, we suggest that the combination of weathering, especially salt weathering, and wind erosion, both of which are closely related to climatic variation, take the main responsibility for the formation and development of weathering pits in Qing Mountain.展开更多
