Reclassification of the Meso- and Neoproterozoic Chronostratigraphy of North China by SHRIMP Zircon Ages

High-quality zircon U-Pb ages acquired from Meso- and Neoproterozoic strata in North China in recent years has provided a high-resolution chronostratigraphic framework for dating. A basis of this high-level chronostratigraphic system provides the foundation for a global Precambrian study and stratigraphic correlation and so recent geological studies have focused attention on systemic SHRIMP zircon dating. A chronology of Meso- and Neoproterozoic strata and the time of origin of the overlying Changcheng System is given on the basis of new SHRIMP zircon dating from the Qianxi Complex and diabase of the Chuanlinggou Formation. A new tectonostratigraphy for a Neoproterozoic chronostratigraphic framework in the southeastern margin of the North China continent is underpinned by the new SHRIMP zircon dating of a Neoproterozoic mafic magma diabase in the Jiao-Liao-Xu-Huai Sub-Province.

Geological characteristics and tectonic signifcance of unconformities in Mesoproterozoic successions in the northern margin of the North China Block

Several stratigraphic breaks and unconformities exist in the Mesoproterozoic successions in the northern margin of the North China Block. Geologic characters and spatial distributions of five of these un- conformities, which have resulted from different geological processes, have been studied. The uncon- formity beneath the Dahongyu Formation is interpreted as a breakup unconformity, representing the time of transition from continental rift to passive continental margin. The unconformities beneath the Gaoyuzhuang and the Yangzhuang formations are considered to be the consequence of regional eustatic fluctuations, leading to the exposure of highlands in passive margins during low sea-level stands and transgressive deposition on coastal regions during high sea-level stands. The unconformity atop the Tieling Formation might be caused by uplift due to contractional deformation in a back-arc setting, whereas the uplift after the deposition of the Xiamaling Formation might be attributed to a continental collision event. It is assumed that the occurrences of these unconformities in the Mesoproterozoic successions in the northern margin of the North China Block had a close bearing on the assemblage and breakup of the Columbia and Rodinia supercontinents.

Accordant Summit Levels (ASLs) and Their Tectonic Deformation in the Denudational Areas of the North China Rift Zone

The North China rift zone,including the North China Plain rift zone and the middle Shanxi graben-rift zone,is a continental rift;geomorphologically,its most common and important characteristics are the multiple accordant summit levels (ASLs) in the denudational area.In this study three methods based on geomorphic analysis,that is,(1) unified topographic profiles,(2) cyclic knickpoints along longitudinal river profiles,and (3) depth contours of river downcutting,are used to identify the ASLs and analyze their tectonic deformation.The formation time of the ASLs is determined by geological and geomorphological evidence,the correlation with the sedimentary facies in the Plain rift zone,and K-Ar ages of basalts on the ASLs,indicating the rates of tectonic uplift.The North China rift zone has five ASLs,of which the highest and oldest ASL I is the remnant of a fossil peneplain formed before rifting and the other four lower and younger ones are pediplain-typed formed contemporaneously with rifting.Study of

The abnormal mantle and deep tectonic process in the southern region of North China Plain

In this paper, based on the large scale uplift, lateral inhomogeneity and low interface velocity along the Moho as well as the soft low velocity layer under it obtained from deep seismic sounding (DSS), we deduced that the southern region of North China Plain is characterized by continental rift and abnormal mantle in the lithosphere.Summarizing geological and geophysical data, we try to state that the forming and developing of abnormal mantle and the intermittent activity of asthenosphere are the dynamic sources to dominate the geologic structure and tectonic movement in this region. We also point out that the research of deep process is important to probe timespace law of earthquake occurrence.

Hydrocarbon Potential of Pre-cenozoic Strata in the North Yellow Sea Basin

The North Yellow Sea Basin ( NYSB ), which was developed on the basement of North China (Huabei) continental block, is a typical continental Mesozoic-Cenozoic sedimentary basin in the sea area. Its Mesozoic basin is a residual basin, below which there is probably a larger Paleozoic sedimentary basin. The North Yellow Sea Basin comprises four sags and three uplifts. Of them, the eastern sag is a Mesozoic-Cenozoic sedimentary sag in NYSB and has the biggest sediment thickness; the current Korean drilling wells are concentrated in the eastern sag. This sag is comparatively rich in oil and gas resources and thus has a relatively good petroleum prospect in the sea. The central sag has also accommodated thick Mesozoic-Cenozoic sediments. The latest research results show that there are three series of hydrocarbon source rocks in the North Yellow Sea Basin, namely, black shales of the Paleogene, Jurassic and Cretaceous. The principal hydrocarbon source rocks in NYSB are the Mesozoic black shale. According to the drilling data of Korea, the black shales of the Paleogene, Jurassic and Cretaceous have all come up to the standards of good and mature source rocks. The NYSB owns an intact system of oil generation, reservoir and capping rocks that can help hydrocarbon to form in the basin and thus it has the great potential of oil and gas. The vertical distribution of the hydrocarbon resources is mainly considered to be in the Cretaceous and then in the Jurassic.

雄安新区壳幔结构揭示的大陆岩石圈改造模式

利用宁杰远科研小组2022年10月到2023年7月期间布设的台间距约为16km的甚宽频带密集地震观测资料,基于蒋一然新发展的基于人工智能的远震瑞利面波频散曲线提取技术,获得大量高质量远震瑞利面波频散曲线,在此基础上进行考虑了有限频效应的相速度成像以及基于马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗非线性技术的S波速度结构反演,得到雄安新区的壳幔S波速度结构。基于S波速度结构得到以下认识:1)太行山地壳下方直接与软流圈物质相接触;2)太行山东南部华北平原地壳下方存在厚度不大的岩石圈地幔;2)太行山与其东部区域的地壳之间具有存在和不存在巨厚镁铁质下地壳的区别;太行山山前断裂一带是中生代晚期以来导致古老岩石圈拆沉的地幔热物质上升的核心区域;该地区岩石圈新生代以来经历的是拉伸兼冷却的地球动力学过程。最后,提出雄安新区高热流值的动力学模式。

新近纪以来华北东部古地貌演化数值模拟及陆架海沉降控制

中生代以来,华北地区经历了华北古高原垮塌形成渤海湾盆地的地貌巨变过程。针对中生代的华北古高原和古近纪期间的渤海湾盆地裂陷过程已有大量研究,但新近纪以来,由于受太行山隆起、黄河沉积物输运、黄河贯通及海侵等地质事件影响,现今华北东部沿海地区及海域的地貌演化过程及地貌格局的定型时间还存在争议。使用Badlands数值模拟软件,定量化分析了地幔对流、构造事件、古气候、侵蚀和沉积等地球深浅部多种因素对于地形地貌的贡献,动态重建了华北东部晚新生代(25 Ma)以来的地貌演化过程;并通过与区域构造格架和沉积相展布的对比,检验了模拟结果的合理性。结果表明,华北东部的地貌格局在中新世期间已定型并趋于稳定演化;陆架海沉降是该时期华北东部地貌演化的一级控制因素。此外,该时期华北东部可能存在一条环山东半岛的古河流——华东河,这条古河流的形成时间不晚于中新世,可能在全新世期间消亡。本研究的古地貌模拟结果也有助于系统理解华北洋陆过渡带的多圈层相互作用。

华北克拉通始太古代演化——来自冀东38亿年片麻岩锆石Hf-O同位素的记录

陆壳成因的研究对了解地球演化具有重要意义,但由于古老陆壳岩石出露有限,目前地球早期陆壳研究还比较薄弱。近期,冀东地区一处新的始太古代岩石记录的发现,为研究华北克拉通内部早期陆壳性质提供了极为重要的对象。本文对冀东卢龙喇叭山地区这处新发现的始太古代花岗闪长质片麻岩进行了详细的锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf-O同位素分析。结果显示该样品中锆石具有自形-半自形晶形、振荡环带的内部结构,较高的Th、U含量以及Th/U比值,显示岩浆锆石特征。7个SIMS分析点给出的加权平均^(207)Pb/^(206)Pb年龄为3776±11Ma(MSWD=3.1),代表了花岗闪长质岩浆的结晶年龄,指示冀东地区存在始太古代结晶基底。这些锆石的O同位素组成(δ^(18)O=5.81±0.13‰)与地幔锆石在分析误差范围内一致,其Hf同位素组成(ε_(Hf)(t)=0.09±0.31)与球粒陨石均一岩浆库类似。这些Hf-O同位素特征显著不同于冀东地区曹庄岩组中发现的始太古代碎屑锆石,说明其不可能作为曹庄岩组变沉积岩的物源区。而华北克拉通内部鞍山地区的始太古代片麻岩中的岩浆锆石与冀东始太古代碎屑锆石在Hf-O同位素特征上最为类似,因此前者是冀东始太古代碎屑锆石最可能的源岩,暗示冀东地区和鞍山地区在始太古代时可能是统一的整体。与全球始太古代岩石记录对比发现,华北克拉通主体与North Atlantic克拉通、Pilbara克拉通和塔里木克拉通等主要克拉通类似,其内部目前发现的最古老岩石都具有与球粒陨石一致的锆石Hf同位素组成,指示大部分始太古代陆壳可能源自一个未发生明显分异的相对原始地幔源区。

Lithospheric Thermal Isostasy of North Continental Margin of the South China Sea

Accompanied with rifting and detaching of the north continental margin of the South China Sea, the crust and the lithosphere become thinner away from the continental margin resulting from the tectonic activities, such as tensile deformation, thermal uplift, and cooling subsidence, etc.. Integrated with thermal, gravimetric, and isostatic analysis techniques, based on the seismic interpretation of the deep penetration seismic soundings across the northern margin of the South China Sea, we reconstructed the lithospheric thermal structure and derived the variation of the crust boundary in the east and west parts of the seismic profile by using gravity anomaly data. We mainly studied the thermal isostasy problems using the bathymetry of the profiles and calculated the crust thinning effect due to the thermal variety in the rifting process. The results indicate that the thermal isostasy may reach 2.5 km, and the compositional variations in the lithospheric density and thickness may produce a variation of 4.0 km. Therefore, the compositional isostatic correction is very important to recover the relationship between surface heat flow and topography. Moreover, because of the high heat flow characteristic of the continental margin, building the model of lithospheric geotherm in this region is of great importan for studying the Cenozoic tectonic thermal evolution of the north passive continental margin of the South China Sea.

华北克拉通中部造山带中条山地区绛县群地层划分与构造背景

中条山地区是华北克拉通中部造山带的重要组成部分,保存了中部造山带演化的重要记录。绛县群划分为横岭关亚群和铜矿峪亚群,横岭关亚群为一套由石英岩和绢云片岩组成的变质碎屑岩;铜矿峪亚群则以酸性、基性火山岩为主,夹有正常沉积碎屑岩的“双峰式”火山岩。笔者对绛县群岩石组合及地层特征开展详细调查研究,经过对绛县群火山岩、侵入岩和碎屑锆石同位素年龄的综合分析,认为绛县群的形成年龄大约在2200~2120 Ma,时代为古元古代。结合碎屑岩、火山岩的地球化学特征和华北克拉通中部造山带的演化过程,推测绛县群形成的构造环境很可能为古活动大陆边缘。其中,横岭关亚群沉积在活动大陆边缘盆地,而铜矿峪亚群则形成于活动大陆边缘火山弧环境。

华北克拉通北缘化德群中碎屑锆石的LA-ICP-MSU-Pb年龄及其构造意义

化德群出露地区位于华北克拉通北缘中部,紧邻中亚造山带南缘,呈近东西向展布。在它的西边是早-中元古代的白云鄂博裂谷和渣尔泰—狼山裂谷,东南面是由长城系、蓟县系和青白口系组成的早-新元古代的燕辽裂陷槽,南边分布着1.9～1.8Ga麻粒岩相变质的丰镇群(孔兹岩系),北边出露有代表中亚造山带的古生代岩石。化德群由一套浅变质和未变质的沉积岩组成,无火山岩夹层。地层序列包含多个沉积旋回,每个旋回自下而上为含砾砂岩、砂岩、碳酸盐岩和泥质岩。岩石组合反映了从河流—滨海—浅海相的沉积环境。化德群的地层序列可以和白云鄂博群及渣尔泰群相对比。本文对化德群四个变质砂岩样品中的碎屑锆石进行了LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄测定,年龄主要集中在1800±50Ma和1850±50Ma,另外还有～2500Ma和～2000Ma的次要峰值。化德群底部变质含砾云母长石石英砂岩中碎屑锆石的最小谐和年龄是1758±7Ma,限定了化德群沉积时代的下限。碎屑锆石的CL图像显示,1800±50Ma和1850±50Ma的锆石主要是变质成因,少量岩浆成因,说明化德群的源区主要是古元古代的变质岩,少量岩浆岩。～2500Ma和～2000Ma的碎屑锆石代表了更为古老的源区。碎屑锆石的U-Pb年龄限制了化德群的沉积时代为古元古代晚期—中元古代,年龄峰值对应华北克拉通的重要构造热事件,而无与中亚造山带地质事件相关的年龄信息。沉积组合特征表明化德群属于稳定的浅水一半深水沉积盆地。化德盆地、渣尔泰—狼山盆地和白云鄂博盆地共同构成华北克拉通北缘的被动陆缘裂谷系,该裂谷系的形成可能与燕辽及熊耳裂陷槽的打开是同时期的。因此,华北克拉通的北界应该置于化德群出露区域以北。基于锆石特征的详细分析及对比,我们认为化德群以南的孔兹岩系可能是化德群的主要源区。

华北地块北缘晚古生代——早中生代岩浆活动期次、特征及构造背景

通过对华北陆块北缘近年来获得的晚古生代—早中生代岩浆岩锆石U-Pb及部分39Ar-40Ar测年结果的分析,认为该区晚古生代—早中生代期间至少经历了泥盆纪、早石炭世晚期—中二叠世及二叠纪末—三叠纪等3期明显的岩浆作用过程。泥盆纪岩浆活动时限在400～360Ma左右,岩性主要为碱性岩(正长岩及二长岩),其次为基性-超基性岩、二长闪长岩、碱性花岗岩及流纹岩,出露面积较少。早石炭世晚期—中二叠世岩浆活动时限在330～265Ma左右,岩性主要为闪长岩、石英闪长岩、花岗闪长岩及花岗岩,其次为辉长岩及英云闪长岩。二叠纪末—三叠纪岩浆活动(250～200Ma),岩性主要为钾长花岗岩、二长花岗岩及碱性杂岩,其次为基性-超基性岩及少量中酸性火山岩。华北地块北缘晚古生代—早中生代岩浆岩呈近东西走向的带状分布,其中泥盆纪及早石炭世晚期—中二叠世岩浆岩主要分布在内蒙古隆起上,而二叠纪末—三叠纪岩浆岩分布范围更大,其南界可以到达燕山构造带最南端的蓟县盘山及太行山北段的河北涿鹿矾山地区。这些广泛分布的多期次岩浆活动表明华北地块北缘在晚古生代—早中生代期间经历了复杂的岩浆及构造作用过程。泥盆纪岩浆活动可能与白乃庙岛弧岩带与华北克拉通弧-陆碰撞后的伸展作用有关。早石炭世晚期—中二叠世岩浆活动的形成与古亚洲洋向华北地块的俯冲作用有关。而二叠纪末—三叠纪岩浆活动的形成与华北地块与西伯利亚南缘蒙古增生褶皱带拼合后的伸展及岩石圈拆沉作用有关。

华北陆块、秦岭地块和扬子陆块构造演化的古地磁证据

通过对河北井陉和湖北宜昌、兴山的39个采样点、392个样品进行的古地磁测试,以及7个采样点、71个样品中的原生剩磁以及笔者前期研究结果,系统分析了三大块体的古地磁极位置、古地磁偏角以及古纬度自寒武纪以来的变化特征,并进行了古地理复原。研究表明,三块体为不同地质构造单元,寒武纪时,华北陆块、秦岭地块以及扬子陆块自北到南顺序排列于北纬2.9°、南纬5.5°以及南纬17.0°。秦岭地块北侧和南侧分别存在一古洋盆,此时华北陆块和扬子陆块相距约1400Km左右;三块体向北漂移的过程中伴随着旋转运动;三块体开始拼合的时间为晚二叠纪至早三叠纪之间,华北陆块和秦岭地块完全拼合的时间为早三叠纪至中三叠纪之间,三块体完全拼合的时间为中三叠纪至晚白垩纪之间;晚白垩纪以后,一体化的三块体继续向北漂移,并于第四纪到达现今地理位置。

白云鄂博矿床成矿构造环境分析

白云鄂博矿床是世界著名的超大型铁铌稀土矿床,但因为其成因和形成时代的证据复杂多样,其成因、形成时代及其形成的大地构造环境均有多种不同认识。笔者等曾对赋矿白云岩成因、成矿时代及赋矿地层白云鄂博群的年代这两个关键问题进行了系统的地质、地球化学研究,获得了一系列关键证据,并对前人资料进行了系统地梳理,论证了白云鄂博矿床赋矿白云岩为一大型微晶丘,而微晶丘是热水沉积形成;确定其成矿时代及白云鄂博群的年代均为早古生代。本文进一步报道了在与白云鄂博群下部相当的腮林忽洞群中发现了宏体化石海绵和腹足类,在白云鄂博群中发现了与腮林忽洞群中相同的振动液化脉和振动液化角砾岩。从而笔者等认为,白云鄂博矿床成矿和白云鄂博群的沉积环境是早古生代被动大陆边缘。

华北陆壳的岩石化学模型

提出华北陆壳的基本参数,平均化学成分和岩石化学模型。华北陆壳的总质量为1.5×10^(17)t。主要由13种化学元素构成,其中氧、硅和铝的质量丰度共为82.75％。氧的体积丰度高达94.2％。在华北陆壳的每1km^3岩石中,有铝210×10~6t,铁132×10~6t,钛8.7×10~6t,锰2.2×10~6t。岩石化学模型仅以质量丰度和体积丰度表达方式为例,指出其计算方法和用途。

晋冀内蒙交界地区麻粒岩地体中两条花岗岩带及其对早前寒武纪地壳生长的意义

晋冀内蒙太古宙地区大面积出露的是英云闪长质片麻岩，也有一些花岗质片麻岩或混合片麻岩，以及很有限出露的紫苏花岗岩。两条线性分布而不是面状分布的花岗岩带引人注目的在区内穿过，无论在产状、构造、围岩特征和岩石组合特征上都在华北克拉通与众不同。这两条花岗岩带在本文中分别被称为凉城－土贵乌拉石榴花岗岩带和桑干钾质花岗岩带。凉城－土贵乌拉石榴花岗岩带发育在孔兹岩系内部，沿韧性剪切带及其两侧分布。岩带的中间部位，断断续续出露一系列的变质辉长岩－辉石岩的透镜体。在石榴花岗岩带的外侧，则与孔兹岩在成分、矿物组成、结构构造上逐渐过渡，没有明确的截然界限。石榴花岗岩与孔兹岩有密切成因联系，具有陆内Ｓ型花岗岩的地球化学性质。桑干构造带花岗岩带是以花岗岩为主的古老剪切带，其内构造混杂有包括高压麻粒岩和退变榴辉岩的不同岩片和透镜体。该带分隔了怀安古陆和恒山古陆。钾质花岗岩以一系列的岩席、岩株和小侵入体，从山西繁峙县向北东一直到河北宣化县，断续相连，北东东向延伸近２００ｋｍ，延伸方向与区域片麻理和主构造线方向一致。它们的常量和微量元素地球化学性质与显生宙碰撞型壳熔花岗岩相似。在空间分布上明显受桑干构造带控制。本区两条线状分布的花岗岩带，?

华北克拉通的形成演化与成矿作用

华北克拉通具有38亿年的漫长历史,特别是与其他克拉通相比,它有更为复杂的多阶段的构造演化史,记录了几乎所有的地壳早期发展与中生代以来的重大构造事件。在太古宙,华北克拉通经历了>3.0Ga的陆核与微陆块的形成;2.7～2.9Ga的陆壳增生;2.5Ga的岩浆、变质作用与克拉通化;2.3～1.9Ga的古元古代活动(造山)带;1.8Ga的基底隆升与裂谷-非造山岩浆事件。在新元古代—古生代,华北克拉通处于相对稳定的地台状态,其南、北缘受到秦岭造山带和中亚造山带的影响;在中生代,华北克拉通则经历了强烈的中生代构造格局的转变和克拉通的破坏与重建;在新生代,华北克拉通的东缘属于环太平洋构造带的一部分。与上述重大构造事件相对应,华北克拉通出现大规模的成矿作用,形成了丰富多样的固体矿产资源。华北克拉通的形成与演化及其不同类型的成矿系统,为深刻理解大地构造背景对成矿作用的制约提供了范例。

华北克拉通北缘及邻区前燕山期主要地质事件

近年来,华北克拉通北缘及邻区的研究进展集中在前燕山期的主要地质构造格架的廓清,以及晚中生代以来的构造岩浆事件和克拉通岩石圈减薄研究的深化。本文对前者的研究进展作评述和展望。华北克拉通自1.8～1.75Ga形成后,时有岩浆扰动。1.35Ga的基性岩床和岩墙群事件代表了华北克拉通与北美克拉通的裂解,说明华北克拉通曾经是哥伦比亚超大陆的组成部分。华北克拉通北缘大陆边缘的演化也应当从1.35Ga以后开始。早古生代时期,在华北克拉通以北的兴蒙造山带南部发育了白乃庙岛弧岩带,但此时华北克拉通依然记录的是稳定沉积。该岛弧岩带在早古生代末期可能通过弧-陆碰撞形式增生到华北克拉通北部边缘。早中泥盆世期间,在华北克拉通北缘发育了年龄为410～380Ma的碱性杂岩,可能与弧陆碰撞后的伸展有关。从晚石炭世(～320Ma)开始,华北克拉通北缘发展为安第斯型活动大陆边缘,古亚洲洋向南俯冲在华北克拉通之下。在相邻的兴蒙造山带,古亚洲洋还存在向北的俯冲,形成了白音宝力道岛弧岩带。古亚洲洋沿索伦缝合带的最终闭合发生在二叠纪末—三叠纪初期。华北克拉通北缘大量～250Ma以来的后碰撞岩浆活动记录了这一拼合过程。晚三叠世—早侏罗世华北克拉通北缘发生大规模逆冲推覆。早侏罗世时期,华北克拉通北缘已经出现基底结晶岩系的广泛剥露。在燕山期构造岩浆作用之前,华北克拉通北缘的东西向构造格架基本奠定。

华北克拉通北缘中段二叠纪苏吉火山岩及其形成机制

本文报道了集宁北部商都县西井子镇一带苏吉火山岩的岩石学、地球化学、锆石年代学及Hf同位素组成。锆石定年显示,苏吉火山岩形成于早-中二叠世(267±2Ma、272±2Ma和270±3Ma)。研究区内的苏吉火山岩为一套酸性火山岩组合,SiO_2、Al_2O_3含量较高并具有极低的Mg#;其轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素相对富集,高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti明显亏损。苏吉火山岩的锆石εHf(t)呈较高的负值(-17.3^-5.9)并具有相当古老的Hf二阶段模式年龄(1667~2386Ma),指示它们的原始岩浆主要源自古老地壳物质的部分熔融。系统的地质填图显示,华北克拉通北缘中段存在一条数百千米的晩古生代火山岩带。苏吉火山岩的形成可能与古亚洲洋向华北克拉通俯冲有关,当时华北克拉通北缘存在一个安第斯型活动大陆边缘。
