Crustal structure and sedimentation history over the Alleppey platform, southwest continental margin of India:Constraints from multichannel seismic and gravity data

The Alleppey Platform is an important morphological feature located in the Kerala-Konkan basin off the southwest coast of India. In the present study, seismic reflection data available in the basin were used to understand the sedimentation history and also to carry out integrated gravity interpretation. Detailed seismic reflection data in the basin reveals that:(1) the Alleppey Platform is associated with a basement high in the west of its present-day geometry(as observed in the time-structure map of the Trap Top(K/T boundary)),(2) the platform subsequently started developing during the Eocene period and attained the present geometry by the Miocene and,(3) both the Alleppey platform and the Vishnu fracture zone have had significant impact on the sedimentation patterns(as shown by the time-structure and the isochron maps of the major sedimentary horizons in the region). The 3-D sediment gravity effect computed from the sedimentary layer geometry was used to construct the crustal Bouguer anomaly map of the region.The 3-D gravity inversion of crustal Bouguer anomaly exhibits a Moho depression below the western border of the platform and a minor rise towards the east which then deepens again below the Indian shield. The 2-D gravity modelling across the Alleppey platform reveals the geometry of crustal extension,in which there are patches of thin and thick crust. The Vishnu Fracture Zone appears as a crustal-scale feature at the western boundary of the Alleppey platform. Based on the gravity model and the seismic reflection data, we suggest that the basement high to the west of the present day Alleppey platform remained as a piece of continental block very close to the mainland with the intervening depression filling up with sediments during the rifting. In order to place the Alleppey platform in the overall perspective of tectonic evolution of the Kerala-Konkan basin, we propose its candidature as a continental fragment.

Sinian hydrocarbon accumulation conditions and exploration potential at the northwest margin of the Yangtze region, China

Based on outcrop, drilling, logging and seismic data, the reservoir forming conditions, reservoir forming model and exploration potential of the ultra-deep Sinian Dengying Formation at the northwest margin of Yangtze craton region were examined.(1) This area is in craton rifting stage from Sinian to Early Cambrian, characterized by syn-sedimentary faults and rapid subsidence, significant sedimentary differences, and development of Dengying Formation platform margins on both sides of the rift.(2) The Sinian–Cambrian in this area has two sets of high-quality source rocks, Doushantuo Formation and Maidiping-Qiongzhusi Formation;of which, the latter has a thickness of 150–600 m and hydrocarbon generation intensity of(100-200)×10;m;/km;.(3) The mounds and shoals in the platform margin of Sinian Dengying Formation controlled by faults are thick and distributed in rows and zones;they are reformed by contemporaneous–quasi-contemporaneous and supergene karstification jointly, forming pore-type reservoirs with a thickness of 200-400 m.(4) The two sets of source rocks enter oil generation windows from Permian to Early Triassic, and the oil migrates a short distance to the lithologic traps of mounds and shoals to form a huge scale paleo-oil reservoir group;from Late Triassic to Jurassic, the oil in the paleo-oil reservoirs is cracked into gas, laying the foundation of present natural gas reservoirs.(5) The mound-shoal body at the platform margin of Dengying Formation and the two sets of high-quality source rocks combine into several types of favorable source-reservoir combinations, which, with the advantage of near-source and high-efficiency reservoir formation, and can form large lithologic gas reservoirs. The Mianyang-Jiange area is a potential large gas field with trillion cubic meters of reserves. According to seismic prediction, the Laoguanmiao structure in this area has the Deng-2 Member mound-shoal reservoir of about 1300 km^(2), making it a ultra-deep target worthy of exploration in the near future.

DISCUSSION ON RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WESTERN MARGIN OF YANGTZE BLOCK AND SOUTHWESTERN SANJIANG REGION IN PROTEROZOIC

The western margin of Yangtze block and southwestern Sanjiang region absorbed much attention from geologists. It has been proved that there occurred a series of plate subduction, collision, assembly, rifting and breakup processes between them since Palaeozoic and the tectonic evolutionary relationship between them is clear. But in Proterozoic this kind of links between them became unclear. Did they undergo the assembly and breakup processes of the Rodinia super continent? This paper will take a primary discussion on this question on the basis of basement component, structure characteristics and magmatic activities.1\ Basement features\;(1) In western margin of Yangtze block its basement is composed of crystalline basement and folded basement, a so\|called double\|layer structure. The crystalline basement is made up of Kangding group, Pudeng Formation and Dibadu Formation, among them Kangding group is a representative and composed mainly of migmatite, compositing gneiss, hornblende schist and granulitite. The isotopic age of crystalline basement is older than 1900Ma, so its geological time is late Archaean to early Proterozoic. The folded basement is composed of Dahongshan group, Hekou group, Kunyang group, Huili group and Yanbian group. Their rock associations are made up mainly of spilite\|keratophyre formation, carbonate formation, clastic rock and clastic rock formation with some basic volcanic rocks. The folded basement is assigned to be early and middle Proterozoic (1000～1700M a).

Characteristics of Paleoproterozoic Subduction System in Western Margin of Yangtze Plate

Paleoproterozoic subduction strongly occurred in the western margin of Yangtze plate. The basalticandesite volcanics of Ailaoshan Group and Dibadu Formation had been formed during paleo QinghaiTibet oceanic plate subduction under the paleoYangtze plate. Their trace element geochemistry suggests that their forming environments are continentalmarginarc and back arcbasin respectively. Consequently, the Paleoproterozoic subduction system in the western margin of Yangtze plate was established. Ailaoshan Group and Dibadu Formation came from an enriched mantle source that was contaminated by crustal sediments carried by subducted slab, and formed the Paleoroterozoic metamorphic basement of western margin of Yangtze plate. Ailaoshan Group is actually western boundary of Yangtze plate.

Geochronology and geochemistry of lithium-rich tuffs in the Sichuan basin,western Yangtze:Implication for the magmatic origin and final closure of eastern Paleo-Tethys

The felsic volcanogenic tuffs named"green-bean rocks"(GBRs),characterized by a green or yellowish green color,are widely distributed in the western Yangtze platform and have a high lithium content(286-957 ppm).This paper studies the ages,origin and tectonic setting of the GBRs in the Sichuan basin on the western margin of the Yangtze platform through the whole-rock geochemistry and zircon trace elements by using U-Pb dating and Hf-O isotopes.The GBR samples from the Quxian and Beibei sections yielded zircon U-Pb ages of 245.5±1.8 Ma and 244.8±2.2 Ma.These samples can be used as the isochronous stratigraphic marker of the Early-Middle Triassic boundary(EMTB)for regional correlation.The whole-rock and zircon geochemistry,and zircon Hf-O isotopes exhibited S-type geochemical affinities with high positiveδ^(18)0 values(9.28‰-11.98‰),low negativeε_(Hf)(t)values(-13.87 to-6.79),and T_(DM)^(2)ages of 2150-1703 Ma,indicating that the lithium-rich GBRs were generated by the remelting of the pre-existing ancient Paleoproterozoic layer without mantle source contamination in the arcrelated/orogenic tectonic setting.The results of this study demonstrate that the lithium-rich GBRs in the western Yangtze platform were derived from arc volcanic eruptions along the Sanjiang orogen,triggered by the closure of the eastern Paleo-Tethys Ocean and the syn-collision between the continental Indochina and Yangtze blocks at ca.247 Ma.This was marked by a major shift from I-type magmas with intermediateε_(Hf)(t)values to S-type magmas with low negativeε_(Hf)(t)values.Collectively,our results provide new insights into the origin of the GBRs and decodes the closure of the eastern Paleo-Tethys.

扬子陆块西缘寒武系砂岩的物源分析:对古地理位置重建和构造背景的指示

扬子陆块西缘寒武系主要为一套碎屑岩-碳酸盐岩的岩石组合,前人研究多认为形成于相对稳定的克拉通盆地。但同时期出现的大陆岩浆作用显然与前期认定的克拉通盆地性质不符,需要借助扬子西缘的物质来源探讨构造背景。基于野外露头等资料,本文通过对扬子陆块西缘会泽和会东附近寒武系3件砂岩样品进行重矿物分析、电气石电子探针和碎屑锆石U-Pb测年分析,确定扬子西缘寒武纪沉积物的源区;并结合沉积序列等综合探讨扬子陆块西缘寒武纪的构造背景。沉积序列表明,扬子西缘寒武系沧浪铺组、西王庙组和二道水组主要由砂岩和白云岩等组成,沉积环境为滨岸—潮坪。细—粗砂岩碎屑颗粒为次棱角状—次圆状,分选较差;碎屑组分主要为石英,岩屑几乎全部为燧石,长石含量较少。测试分析结果表明:重矿物分析指示扬子西缘寒武系砂岩重矿物主要由锆石、赤—褐铁矿、电气石、钛铁矿、金红石、磷灰石等组成,重矿物组合指示岩浆岩为其主要母岩;电气石电子探针分析结果表明,物源主要来自于贫锂花岗岩和变砂岩、变泥岩;碎屑锆石测年分析表明物源区母岩主要为983~540 Ma岩浆岩。碎屑锆石年龄对比等综合分析表明,寒武系沉积物部分源自康滇古陆983~708 Ma的岩浆岩和变沉积岩,部分源自冈瓦纳大陆东非造山带663~540 Ma的岩石,物源区岩石经历再旋回产物作用。扬子西缘寒武系的沉积序列、碎屑锆石年龄谱图和碎屑组成等特征综合分析表明,扬子陆块西缘寒武系形成于前陆盆地。

The history of crustal uplift and metamorphic evolution of Panzhihua-Xichang micro-palaeoland, SW China:Constraints on Sm-Nd, ^(40)Ar/^(39)Ar and FT ages of granulites

Panzhihua-Xichang (Panxi) micro-palaeoland is the oldest terrane on the western margin of the Yangtze Block. Some intermediate-basic granulites are considered to be the crys-talline basement of lower crust in the terrane. Granulite-facies metamorphism of the granulites was developed in the period from 1186 Ma to 1128 Ma. The origin of granulites was related to the collision orogenic process occurring when the micro-palaeolands merged to form the Rodinia Supercontinent. Amphibolite-facies retrogressive metamorphism of granulites took place in the period from 877 Ma to 825 Ma. This period was consistent with the breakup time of the Rodinia Supercontinent. 40Ar/39Ar ages and fission track (FT) ages of granulites in the Panxi mi-cro-palaeoland show that the vertical movement history of crustal rocks was a slow uplift process of the rigid terrane in the time from Neoproterozoic to Mesozoic. The subduction of India Plate towards Euroasia Plate resulted in the rapid uplift of the Qinghai-Tibetan Block in Cenozoic. Meanwhile, the Qinghai-Tibetan Block moved towards east. Consequently the Panxi terrane was uplifted rapidly. As a result of the collision orogeny between the Qinghai-Tibetan Block and the Panxi terrane, the granulite-facies crystalline basement in this region was exhumed and exposed to the surface.

四川盆地西部二叠系多期台缘带油气勘探潜力

四川盆地西部二叠纪时期位于稳定克拉通边缘,受到海西运动、东吴运动和峨眉地裂运动的共同作用,发生构造-沉积分异。本文采用构造控盆、盆地控相、相控成藏要素组合的研究思路,在川西地区开展新一轮研究工作,揭示了二叠纪构造-沉积分异对油气成藏的控制作用,明确川西地区海相碳酸盐岩油气勘探潜力。盆地二叠纪以拉张伸展背景为主,总体呈现“南部隆升、西部裂陷、北部拉张”的沉积格局。二叠纪多期构造运动共同导致了川西地区一系列台内裂陷的形成,叠加二叠纪时期海平面变化,控制了栖霞至长兴期的多期台缘发育。川西北地区发育北东—南西向和北西—南东向两组断裂体系控制该区岩相古地理格局,其中龙门山断裂带主要控制了泥盆纪至二叠纪栖霞期沿上扬子台地西北缘发育台缘带,呈北东向展布。茅口至长兴期台缘带受克拉通边缘及台内裂陷共同控制,在川西地区呈北东向展布,梓潼—老关庙地区沿裂陷发育呈北西向展布,在剑阁一带,栖霞、茅口、吴家坪和长兴组多期台缘带叠置发育。川西地区二叠纪多期台缘控制了多层系优质滩相储层和礁储层叠置发育,是川西地区二叠系规模孔隙型储层发育的主控因素。多期古裂陷、多期台缘带和成藏期大型古隆起三元素耦合有利于油气规模聚集成藏。川西多层系台缘带具有纵向叠置,平面呈北东向大面积展布的特征,具备万亿规模资源潜力,是四川盆地海相碳酸盐岩重要勘探接替领域。

扬子地台西南缘铅锌成矿作用与找矿模型

川滇黔地区作为中国西南地区重要的铅锌工业基地之一,区内成矿条件优越,产有一批不同规模的铅锌矿床,但随着逐年开采,后续接替资源储备不断减少,急需寻找和发现新的矿产地。前人对该区铅锌矿床开展了一系列富有成效的研究工作,取得了诸如后生、碳酸盐岩容矿和构造控矿等一系列的共识。除了以上共识外,当前在成矿流体的通道、容矿空间的形成,成矿物质的来源,成矿时代及成矿背景,找矿模型的建立等方面仍然存在较大争议。本文在总结典型铅锌矿床地质特征的基础上,通过对成矿物质来源、成矿要素、成矿时代及背景等方面的研究成果梳理,总结出区内铅锌矿床成矿物质主要来源于围岩及下伏地层,控矿要素主要有地层、岩性、构造,成矿作用主要形成于印支晚期扬子板块与印支板块碰撞后的伸展环境,建立了扬子地台西南缘区域成矿模式,形成了以找矿要素为核心的综合找矿模型,为该区铅锌矿床找矿勘查提供了依据。

西昆仑山前石炭系斜坡相的发现及沉积演化

塔里木盆地西南西昆仑山前石炭系具有良好的油气勘探潜力,但至今未获得突破,沉积相分布特征及规律研究不够深入是其主要的原因之一。针对这一问题,通过系统分析塔里木盆地西昆仑山前石炭系12条野外剖面、3个钻井和一幅地震剖面沉积特征,首次在石炭系发现台地边缘斜坡相,并根据“沿坡定缘”的思路明确了区域沉积相类型、特征及沉积相分布和演化。研究表明,石炭系台缘斜坡相包括滑塌沉积、岩屑流沉积、浊流沉积和静水沉积等,沿塔里木盆地西昆仑山前呈东西向展布。早石炭世晚期和什拉甫-晚石炭世早卡拉乌依期,新藏公路以东为铁克里克古陆,新藏公路以西的台地边缘高能相带沿西昆仑山前呈自西向东条带状展布,其内侧发育潟湖相沉积,覆盖了喀什-叶城凹陷的主要区域。晚石炭世阿孜干-塔哈奇期,海侵范围扩大,古陆消失,沿西昆仑山前地区发育台缘斜坡-台地边缘-局限台地-蒸发台地相沉积体系。因此,喀什-叶城凹陷为高能相带的主要发育区,且具备良好的生储盖组合,是塔里木盆地西南西昆仑山前石炭系勘探的主要目标区。

四川省同德石墨矿床地球化学特征及Re-Os同位素定年

攀枝花同德石墨矿床位于扬子板块西缘增生带,本文对矿区矿石和赋矿围岩进行全岩地球化学分析、对矿石进行碳同位素测定、Re-Os同位素测年、对矿石及其赋矿岩石进行了原岩恢复并探讨了成矿环境。研究表明,矿石SiO_(2)为55.65%~61.68%,SiO_(2)/Al_(2)O_(3)比值为4.59~5.42,Ni/Co比值6.23~12.88,富集Ba、Rb、Sr等大离子亲石元素和Nb、Zr、Hf、Th、U等高场强元素。矿石的稀土元素总量ΣREE为149.13×10^(-6)~195.37×10^(-6),具有弱的Ce负异常和Eu负异常,代表了缺氧的海相沉积环境。矿石中δ^(13)CV-PDB值为-25.0‰~-23.5‰,位于生物成因的有机碳范围内,表明其成矿碳质主要来源于有机物。石墨的Re-Os同位素年龄为983±72 Ma(MSWD=1.7),时代归属为新元古代早期,早于同德周边岩浆岩侵入时代。Re的含量介于27.66×10^(-9)~79.81×10^(-9),普通Os和^(187)Os的含量分别为0.52×10^(-9)~2.16×10^(-9)、0.28×10^(-9)~0.83×10^(-9),相对于Re、Os在地壳中的丰度显著富集。^(187)Re/^(188)Os比值为122.9~350.5,Os同位素初始比值^(187)Os/^(188)Os=0.31±0.21。结合野外地质调查对同德地区矿石和赋矿云母石英片岩进行原岩恢复,得出其原岩为沉积岩。

扬子陆块西缘中元古代晚期元谋花岗岩的时代、成因及构造意义

扬子陆块西缘晚中元古代地质演化史一直存在较大争议,本文选择以扬子西缘元谋杂岩中一套二长花岗岩为研究对象,开展岩相学、锆石U-Pb年代学、全岩地球化学等综合研究,为认识和理解扬子西缘晚中元古代地质演化提供支撑。两件元谋二长花岗岩样品的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄分别为1086±10 Ma(MSWD=1.4,n=50)和1099±10 Ma(MSWD=1.8,n=58)。所有样品具有高硅(SiO2为69.44%~73.98%)、富碱(Na_(2)O+K_(2)O为6.11%~7.72%)、贫钙(CaO为0.39%~1.46%)、贫镁(MgO为0.52%~0.76%)、低钛(TiO_(2)为0.30%~0.59%)的特点,同时表现出强过铝质(A/CNK=1.19~1.35)及中钾钙碱性–钾玄岩系列特征。它们具有高的稀土元素总量(ΣREE=211.60×10^(−6)~349.01×10^(−6)),呈现轻稀土元素富集和重稀土元素亏损((La/Yb)N=4.32~7.36);富集Rb、U、Th等大离子亲石元素和Zr、Th、Hf等,亏损Nb、Ta、Ba等元素,并具有明显的负Eu异常(δEu=0.46~0.59),锆石饱和温度介于827~912℃之间,展示了A型花岗岩的属性。这些二长花岗岩可能是通过中上地壳的中酸性火成岩的部分熔融形成,结合前人的研究成果,它们最可能形成于弧后的伸展环境,综合扬子陆块周缘晚中元古代的岩浆记录,元谋杂岩中1.09 Ga二长花岗岩的形成应与扬子陆块开始参与Rodinia超大陆聚合有关。

四川省会理县河口地区辉绿岩体的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

普遍认为,扬子地台西缘前震旦系基底存在结晶基底和褶皱基底的双层（或三层）结构,河口群作为结晶基底与褶皱基底之间的过渡层位,其归属及形成时代仍存在争议。对河口群的深入研究,有助于深化认识扬子地台西缘基底结构的特点及演化过程。通过对会理县河口地区侵入于河口群中辉绿岩体的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb测年,获得1710±8 Ma（MSWD=1.11）的锆石U-Pb年龄,表明河口群的形成时代要早于这个年龄。大量的同位素数据证明,河口群主要形成于1817~1710 Ma,为古元古代晚期。本文的研究成果,对认识整个扬子地台西缘的构造格架与演化历史具有重要的意义。

扬子地台西缘淌塘花岗岩的地球化学特征及锆石U-Pb定年

淌塘花岗岩岩体位于扬子地台西缘,岩石类型为钾长花岗岩。为了揭示其成因意义,本文对淌塘花岗岩体进行了SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年和地球化学研究。地球化学及岩石学研究的结果显示淌塘花岗岩具有高硅（SiO2=72.70%~77.95%）、高碱（ALK=5.68%~7.32%）、过铝质（ASI=1.41~1.78）的特征,K2O/Na2O平均值为1.18,CaO、MgO含量偏低,其岩石系列为高钾钙碱性系列,属于强过铝质S型花岗岩,其稀土元素含量偏低且轻重稀土元素差异较大（LREE/HREE=2.71~4.09）,部分微量元素的含量显著区别于地壳平均值。锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年结果获得其成岩年龄为1 063.2±6.9 Ma,属于格林威尔造山期运动产物。地球化学研究表明该花岗岩是由地壳中的泥质岩经过部分熔融形成的,其双峰式的岩浆岩组合模式和Al2O3-SiO2构造环境判别图的投图结果均显示该花岗岩的形成与裂谷环境密切相关,这与1.0 Ga时扬子地台西缘的大地构造背景相呼应,其形成也对应了Rodinia超大陆的汇聚事件。

扬子地台西缘新元古代TTG的厘定及其意义

对原划为新太古代古元古代康定杂岩的雅江桥片麻状奥长花岗岩、花滩奥长花岗岩和磨盘山花岗岩的地球化学分析表明,其具有低Mg#、Na2O>K2O,轻重稀土元素强烈分异,无或略具微弱的负Eu异常,低YbN、Cr、Ni、V、Nb、Ta、Ti,高Ba,Sr变化较大,与TTG类似。雅江桥奥长花岗岩的SHRI MP锆石U-Pb年龄测定结果为778±11Ma。初步认为本次工作所选的康定杂岩为形成于新元古代的TTG花岗岩。结合TTG的形成环境和前人研究成果,认为扬子地台西缘新元古代花岗岩是板块俯冲环境体制下玄武质洋壳部分熔融的产物。

扬子地台西缘结晶基底的时代

对扬子地台西缘结晶基底变质地层以及岩浆片麻岩中变质地层残片或包裹体中锆石SHRIMPU-Pb同位素年龄研究表明,在康定地区辉长–闪长质片麻岩中,表壳岩包体—糜棱岩化的长英质片岩和宝兴地区黑云斜长角闪岩的年龄分别为816±8.6Ma和826±13Ma,代表了它们的原岩——酸性火山岩和火山凝灰岩的形成年龄;泸定地区变质岩层中长英质糜棱岩和斜长角闪岩的年龄分别为816±9Ma和818±8Ma,代表了中性火山岩和基性火山岩的形成时代;茨达地区斜长角闪岩和角闪黑云斜长片麻岩的年龄分别为830±7Ma和827±10Ma,代表了其原岩火山–沉积建造的形成时代。以上数据表明,所谓的结晶基底都是新元古代的产物,在形成时间上与盐边群、盐井群等褶皱基底的相一致,只是变质程度上略有差异。因此该区并不存在古老(太古宙—古元古代)的结晶基底。

扬子板块西缘北段新元古代花岗岩类的地球化学特征和成因

扬子板块西缘北段新元古代花岗岩类分布较广。它们具有准铝质化学成分(A/NKC<1.03);贫Rb、U、Th、Nb、Hf,相对富Sr、Ba、Zr;稀土总量较低,轻、重稀土分馏不明显;ε_(Nd)较高(>—4.3),I_(sr)较低(<0.7050),δ^(18)低(<7.6‰)。这些特征与华南同熔型花岗岩类的值十分相似,反映其源区具有壳-幔混合特点。新元古代花岗岩类的Nd模式年龄(1.81～1.14 Ga)介于该区初生地壳(1.0 Ga左右)和古老地壳(>2.0 Ga)之间,推测这些花岗岩类主要是由上述两端元按不同比例组成的混合源区衍生的。母岩浆的形成可能同新元古代早期(晋宁期)滇青藏大洋板块向扬子古板块的俯冲有关。

扬子地块西缘新元古代镁铁超镁铁质岩研究进展

扬子地块西缘新元古代岩浆活动非常强烈,花岗岩广布。最近研究表明,该区还有较大规模的新元古代基性岩浆活动。本文着重总结和评述了扬子地块西缘的新元古代镁铁 超镁铁质岩的最新研究成果,认为这一期岩浆活动是由约0.95～0.90Ga造山带的岩浆活动和0.86～0.74Ga非造山的岩浆活动组成,反映了从岛弧到板内裂谷的构造演化模式。
