文摘The A_(2)B_(2)O_(7)-type rare earth zirconate compounds have been considered as promising candidates for thermal barrier coating(TBC) materials because of their low sintering rate,improved phase stability,and reduced thermal conductivity in contrast with the currently used yttria-partially stabilized zirconia (YSZ) in high operating temperature environments.This review summarizes the recent progress on rare earth zirconates for TBCs that insulate high-temperature gas from hot-section components in gas turbines.Based on the first principles,molecular dynamics,and new data-driven calculation approaches,doping and high-entropy strategies have now been adopted in advanced TBC materials design.In this paper,the solid-state heat transfer mechanism of TBCs is explained from two aspects,including heat conduction over the full operating temperature range and thermal radiation at medium and high temperature.This paper also provides new insights into design considerations of adaptive TBC materials,and the challenges and potential breakthroughs are further highlighted for extreme environmental applications.Strategies for improving thermophysical performance are proposed in two approaches:defect engineering and material compositing.

文摘Based on defect chemistry theory and molecular dynamics,the defect formation energy and its relationship with the mechanism of pyrochlore-fluorite phase change were investigated,so as to reveal the underlying mechanism of high-temperature stability of pyrochlore zirconates.Results showed that with the rise of the atom mass of A,the defect formation energies decreased that meant the crystal structure tended to become more disordered.Noticeably,the first nearest cation antisite dominated the pyrochlore disorder transformation process.In addition,it was found that the diffusion of oxygen atoms was far higher than that of cations,and was increased with the temperature,thus also promoting the pyrochlore-fluorite transformation process.

文摘Ultrafine-grained(Sm_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Dy_(0.2)Er_(0.2)Yb_(0.2))_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7)high-entropy zirconates with single fluorite structure have been fabricated by high-pressure sintering of the self-synthesized nanopowders for the first time.The as-sintered samples exhibit a good microstructure with a grain size of 220 nm and a relative density of 96.8%,which yield excellent comprehensive mechanical properties with a high Vickers hardness of 12.5 GPa and a high fracture toughness of 3.4 MPa·m1/2.In addition,the as-sintered samples possess a good thermostability with the grain growth rate of 30 nm/h,and a low thermal conductivity of 1.57 W·m^(-1)·℃^(-1)at room temperature.The superior mechanical and thermal properties are primarily attributed to the“high-entropy”and grain-refinement effects and good interface bonding.

文摘The Jianghan Basin,at the junction of the Jiangnan and Qinling-Dabie orogenic belts,has a complete Cretaceous to Paleogene stratigraphic record.However,the exhumation history of its source terrains is not well understood.We conducted fission track age analysis on zircon grains(n=441)from the Cretaceous and Paleogene strata in the western Jianghan Basin.The Radial Plotter software is utilized to identify peak ages that indicate thermal events and the history of exhumation.The oldest peak at 810 Ma records the Neoproterozoic collisional orogeny between the Yangtze Craton and Cathaysian Block.Ages of 645-558 Ma reflect the convergence between the South China Block and Gondwana.Early Paleozoic ages document the collision leading to the exhumation of the western Jiangnan Orogenic Belt.Late Paleozoic to early Mesozoic peak ages correspond to the Indosinian orogeny.During the Mesozoic,the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate resulted in further exhumation.The absence of Paleogene zircon fission track peak ages in the basin strata suggests limited exhumation during this period,likely due to tectonic quiescence and arid climatic conditions.

文摘Debate has persisted over whether the metamorphic basement of the Zhoushan Islands,easternmost Cathaysia Block,is Precambrian.Here,representative metamorphic rocks from the Qushan Islands were investigated using petrography,mineral chemistry,phase equilibria modeling and SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating to constrain their metamorphic evolution and tectonic significance.Both the pelitic granulites(garnet-kyanite-perthite-biotite-quartz)and the mafic granulites(garnet-clinopyroxene-amphibole-plagioclase-quartz)reached high-pressure granulite-facies conditions of 1.2-1.4 GPa/820-900℃,and recorded three metamorphic stages along a clockwise P-T path with post-peak isothermal decompression.This trajectory indicated rapid exhumation of thickened continental crust during collisional orogeny.Metamorphic ages of 254±3 Ma,262±4 Ma and 259±3 Ma were obtained for mafic granulite,pelitic granulite and marble,respectively,and were consistent with the emplacement age of 259±4 Ma for a pegmatite vein.Detrital zircons in metasediments spanned 2706-330 Ma,which constrained the latest deposition to~330 Ma;thus represented mid-Paleozoic sediment metamorphosed during the late Paleozoic rather than Precambrian basement.We conclude that the Indosinian tectonothermal event in the Cathaysia Block had originated from late Paleozoic-early Mesozoic collisional orogeny between the South China Plate to the north and the Indochina Block to the south.

文摘The Solonker Suture records the termination of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt(CAOB),but its eastward extension beneath the Songliao Basin has not been clear.The Yaduwula ophiolite is one of the significant fragments within the Solonker Suture.LA–ICP–MS U–Pb dating of zircon grains from metamorphic basalts yield ages of 263±4 Ma and 274±3 Ma,constraining the Yaduwula ophiolite in the late Cisuralian and Guadalupian age.This might indicate that the subduction of Paleo-Asian Ocean continued until at least the Guadalupian(middle Permian).Geochemical analysis of the metamorphic basalts revealed enrichment in large ion lithophile elements(LILEs)and depletion in high field strength elements(HFSEs)and show the characteristics of a supra-subduction zone.The results provide the evidence for the closure time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean after the middle Permian and also suggest that the Yaduwula ophiolite may be considered the eastern extension of Solonker Suture.Our study provides further insights on the evolution of the southeastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt.

文摘The Furong pluton,located in central Hunan,China,hosts numerous tungsten veins within and around the granite,which are of great economic significance.However,its petrogenesis and related mineralization are poorly constrained.In this study,we used U−Pb dating,petrological and geochemical methods to ascertain the emplacement time,classification of granitic rock,nature of the source rocks,formation mechanism,and its geodynamic implications for the Furong pluton.It is shown that the granite is precisely determined to be formed at~210 Ma,and belongs to the moderately-fractionated S-type granite.Combined with regional tectonic setting,it is concluded that the pluton was formed due to crust extension and thinning followed by plate collision and compression in South China.It is also revealed that tungsten mineralization and Indosinian granites exhibit a close temporal,spatial and genetic relationships,and further exploration of tungsten deposits within and around the granite in central Hunan,even in South China,is urgently needed.

文摘1.Objective The Songliao Basin(SB)is situated on the eastern margin of Eurasia continent(Northeast Asia).During the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous,hundreds of rifting basins developed in this area,and the SB is a unique case among them as it evolved into the largest rift basin.The rift basin filling of SB includes Huoshiling Formation,Shahezi Formation,and Yingcheng Formation in ascending order.The mega-rifting was controlled by the Mongol-Okhotsk Collisional Belt to the north and northwest and the Pacific Subduction Zone to the east(Wang PJ et al.,2016).As the first rifting succession,the Huoshiling Formation contains key information about the formation of the rifting basins and records the evolution of the Mongol-Okhotsk Collisional Belt and the Pacific Subduction Zone.However,the geological period of the Huoshiling Formation has not been well constrained for two main reasons.First,it is easily confused with the Yingcheng Formation,as both are dominated by volcanogenic-sedimentary successions.Second,there is lack of reliable dating samples from the uppermost part of the Huoshiling Formation due to its considerable burial depth.

文摘The links between the adakitic rocks and Cu-Au mineralization have long been argued.This study investigates petrogenesis and its link to mineralization potential by a series of in-situ geochronological and geochemical signatures of apatite and zircon in three ore-related intrusions and one-barren intrusion in the Middle-Lower Yangtze River Metallogenic Belt(MLYRB).Zircon U-Pb dating yield ages of 139–143 Ma and 121 Ma for the ore-related and ore-barren intrusions,respectively.The ore-related rocks have higher apatite Sr/Y(1.57–9.69),(La/Yb)_(N)(16.7–159.5),andδEu(0.45–0.74)than the ore-barren rocks of 0.57–1.02,19.3–24.1 and 0.40–0.45,respectively,indicating the former has an adakitic affinity,while the latter has a non-adakitic affinity.The ore-related rocks have enriched zircon Hf isotopes withε_(Hf)(t)values of-15.9 to-5.5 and T_(DMC)ages of 2408–1655 Ma and apatite Sr-Nd isotopes,indicating that the ore-related magmas were mainly originated from partial melting of subducted oceanic crust.The orebarren rocks have higherε_(Hf)(t)values of-6.6 to-4.6 and lower T_(DMC)ages of 1598–1469 Ma and apatite Sr-Nd isotopes,indicating a lithospheric mantle source.The ore-related rocks have higher oxygen fugacity of mean∆FMQ+2.00 and X_(F)/X_(OH)of 8.36–175 than the ore-barren rocks of mean∆FMQ+1.43 and3.72–4.96.It was inferred that magma source,water content,and oxygen fugacity emerge as critical factors governing the regional Cu-Au mineralization potential.

文摘Developing new high-entropy rare-earth zirconate(HE-RE_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7))ceramics with low thermal conductivity is essential for thermal barrier coating materials.In this work,the average atomic spacings,interatomic forces,and average atomic masses of 16 rare-earth elements occupying the A site of the cubic A_(2)B_(2)O_(7) crystal structure were calculated by density functional theory.These three physical qualities,as vectors,characterize the corresponding rare-earth elements.The distance between two vectors quantitatively describes the difference between two rare-earth elements.For greater differences between two rare-earth elements,the disorder degree of HE-RE_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7)is greater,and therefore,the thermal conductivity is lower.According to the theoretical calculations,the thermal conductivity of the ceramics gradually increases in the order of(SC_(0.2)Y_(0.2)La_(0.2)Ho_(0.2)Yb_(0.2))_(2)Zr_(2)0_(7),(SC_(0.2)Ce_(0.2)Nd_(0.2)Eu_(0.2)Gd_(0.2))_(2)Zr_(2)0_(7),(SC_(0.2)Y_(0.2)Tm_(0.2)Yb_(0.2)Lu_(0.2))_(2)Zr_(2)0_(7),and(Sc_(0.2)Er_(0.2)Tm_(0.2)Yb_(0.2)Lu_(0.2))_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7).Using the solution precursor plasma spray method and pressureless sintering method,four types of HE-RE2Zr2Oz powder and bulk samples were prepared.The samples all showed a single defective fluorite structure with a uniform distribution of the elements and a stable phase structure.The thermal conductivities of the sintered HE-RE_(2)Zr_(2)0_(7) bulk samples ranged from 1.30 to 1.45 Wm^(-1).K^(-1) at 1400℃,and their differences were consistent with the theoretical calculation results.Among the ceramics,(Sc_(0.2)Y_(0.2)La_(0.2)Ho_(0.2)Yb_(0.2))_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7) had the lowest thermal conductivity(1.30 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1),1400℃),highest thermal expansion coefficient(10.19×10^(-6) K^(-1),200-1400℃),highest fracture toughness(1.69±0.28 MPa·m^(1/2)),and smallest brttleness index(3.03μm^(1/2)).Therefore,(Sc_(0.2)Y_(0.2)La_(0.2)Ho_(0.2)Yb_(0.2))_(2)Zr_(2)0_(7)is considered to be an ideal candidate material for next-generation thermal barrier coating applications.

文摘The Jiuyishan granitic complex,located in the Nanling Range,South China,is composed of five granitic plutons(Xuehuading,Jinjiling,Pangxiemu,Shaziling and Xishan).Zircon U-Pb dating of four plutons(Jinjiling,Pangxiemu,Shaziling and Xishan)yielded similar ages of approximately 153 Ma,indicating indistinguishable ages within error.Three plutons except the Shaziling pluton,have consistentε_(Nd)(t)(-7.8 to-5.8)andε_(Hf)(t)(-9.1 to-2.2)values,which are similar to those of the lower crustal granulitic metasedimentary and meta-igneous rocks in South China.Compared to other three plutons,the Shaziling pluton has consistentε_(Nd)(t)(-7.4 to-6.8)andε_(Hf)(t)(-7.5 to-4.7)values and shows similar source,but the Shaziling mafic microgranular enclaves(MMEs)show variableε_(Hf)(t)(-14.2 to 4.8)values,indicating a remarkable mantle magma injection of the Shaziling pluton.Zircon Ce/Sm-Yb/Gd,whole-rock CaO-P_(2)O_(5)and CaO-TiO_(2)linear trends reveal that from the Xishan to the Shaziling and from the Jinjiling to the Pangxiemu granites,they experienced apatite and titanite fractionation,respectively.Zircon Th,U,Nb,Ta,Hf,Ti,Y,P and rare earth element(REE)contents and whole-rock Sr,Ba and Rb contents also show that the Shaziling,Xishan,Jinjiling and Pangxiemu granites followed a discontinuous evolutionary series,but the Pangxiemu granites exhibit highly evolved nature.Four main controlling factors of W-Sn and rare metal mineralization in granitic rocks were discussed,and we found that the mineralization in Jiuyishan granitic complex was mainly controlled by the fractionation degree and crystallization temperature,but were rarely affected by oxygen fugacity and mantle material input.The Pangxiemu granites show particularly higher Rb and Ta contents than the other three plutons,implying that the ore deposits developed in the Jiuyishan Complex were directly related to the most evolved Pangxiemu pluton,with the occurrence of Rb and Ta as the most likely rare metal mineralization in the Jiuyishan District.A crystal mush model is proposed to interpret the petrogenetic and mineralizing processes of the Jiuyishan granitic complex.

文摘Deciphering high-pressure granulite-facies metamorphism and anatexis within a collisional orogeny can provide crucial constraints on geodynamic evolution and melt activity during subduction and exhumation.Combining petrographic observations,mineral chemistry,REE in Grt-Cpx thermobarometry,and previous work,at least four stages are suggested for the metamorphic evolution of the mafic granulites in the South Altun,including the protolith stage,the high-pressure granulite-facies stage(909-1037℃and 17.3-30 kbar),medium-pressure granulite-facies overprint(9.1-11.9 kbar and 753-816℃),and subsequent late amphibolite-greenschist-facies metamorphism.Zircon U-Pb dating shows that the mafic granulites underwent high-pressure granulite-facies metamorphism at 497.2±3.7 Ma,while the leucosome formed at 498.2±2.9 Ma.Thus,the leucosomes from the host mafic granulite may have been formed at the high-pressure granulite-facies metamorphic event.The characteristics of zircon morphology,mineral inclusions,low Th/U values,HREE enrichment,and negative Eu anomalies indicate that these zircons from the leucosome were formed from the metamorphic melts.The characteristics of whole-rock major and trace elements as well as Hf isotopic features of zircons between the leucosomes and the host mafic granulite indicate that the melt may have been generated by the partial melting of the host mafic granulite.

文摘Based on the detrital zircon U-Pb dating data,this paper discusses the provenance and constructs source-to-sink system of the Upper Jurassic in the North Yellow Sea Basin(NYSB),eastern North China Craton(ENCC).In addition,to avoid the bias of detrital zircon ages caused by variations in zircon fertility,we collected 1709 whole rock zirconium content values(ppm)from granitic rocks with different ages in the North China Craton(NCC).Based on mean Zr content of granitic rocks in each age,these granitic rocks can be divided into four groups:Group A consists of Jurassic,Group B consists of Paleozoic,Neo-Mesoproterozoic and Neoarchean,Group C consists of Early Cretaceous and Triassic,and Group D consists of Paleoproterozoic.This research assigns to these groups zircon fertility factors(ZFF)of 1,1.4,1.8 and 2.2.The U-Pb age of detrital zircons from Late Jurassic sediments corrected by ZFF is statistically analyzed(K-S test,similarity,crosscorrelation,linkeness,and multidimensional scaling).And combining with paleocurrent and paleogeography,we construct two source-to-sink systems:(1)Jiaodong uplift and Sulu Orogenic Belt as the source area and the North Yellow Sea Basin as the sink area;(2)Liaodong Peninsula as the source area and the North Yellow Sea Basin as the sink area.

文摘The Ordos Basin(OB)in the western part of the North China Craton(NCC),was located at the jointed area of multi-plates and has recorded the Mesozoic tectonic characteristics.Its tectonic evolution in the Mesozoic is significant to understand the tectonic transformation of the northern margin of the NCC.In this work,the detrital zircon and apatite(U-Th)/He chronological system were analyzed in the northern part of the OB,and have provided new evidence for the regional tectonic evolution.The(U-Th)/He chronological data states the weighted ages of 240‒235 Ma,141 Ma with the peak distribution of 244 Ma,219 Ma,173 Ma,147‒132 Ma.The thermal evolution,geochronological data,and regional unconformities have proved four stages of regional tectonic evolution for the OB and its surroundings in the Mesozoic:(1)The Late Permian-Early Triassic;(2)the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic;(3)the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous;(4)the Late Cretaceous-Early Paleogene.It is indicated that the multi-directional convergence from the surrounding tectonic units has controlled the Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the OB.Four-stage tectonic evolution reflected the activation or end of different plate movements and provided new time constraints for the regional tectonic evolution of the NCC in the Mesozoic.

文摘When interpreting results,it is imperative to have some understanding of the degree to which the results are replicable.If the results cannot be replicated with independent data,then interpretations from the results become questionable.To minimize the potential for misinterpretations,the current study analyzes six time-series derived from globally sampled U-Pb zircon databases–of which,two are independent igneous databases,one being a quasi-independent igneous database,and three being independent detrital databases.These time-series are then analyzed with standard statistical methods to evaluate replicability.The methods include bandpass filtering to transform the raw time-series into stationary sequences,Student’s t-test,Monte Carlo simulations,periodograms from spectral analysis,correlation studies,and correlograms.Each test is designed to determine the replicability of a specific time-series,as well as the replicability of periodicities found from the time-series.The results show at least three key components to assessing replicability:(a)U-Pb igneous and detrital zircon age distributions are highly replicable,(b)time-series replicability gradually deteriorates with age,and(c)replicability is scale dependent,with low frequency cycles being more replicable than high frequency cycles.From the tests,we conclude that four harmonic cycles are highly replicable and statistically significant,these being periodicities of 810,270,90,and 67.5-myr.

文摘The Tongshan porphyry Cu deposit is well known as one of the most economically significant porphyry deposits in northeast China.Recently,Tongshan has become the largest porphyry Cu deposit in northeast China with the successful exploration of the concealed ore zone V.Ore zone V has the largest Cu tonnage(562 Mt@0.50% Cu)and extends into the eastern segment at Tongshan.Compared with ore zones I-III,which are hosted within granitic rocks in the western segment,the ore zone V mainly occurs in Duobaoshan volcanic rocks and the roof pendants of newly discovered intrusions.Here,we conducted a study of the understudied eastern ore zone and found that copper mineralization is associated with the newly discovered suites in the eastern segment at Tongshan.Two periods of ore-bearing quartz veins with different widths have been recognized,including quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite veinlets(0.1-0.2 cm)and quartz-chalcopyrite-polymetallic sulfide wide veins(>0.5 cm).The latter veins can be divided into four stages(I-IV)of mineralization and alteration,which are closely related to the newly discovered granodiorite and dacite porphyry.Our new zircon U-Pb ages show that the granodiorite and dacite porphyry were developed between 228-223 Ma,suggesting that the overprinting porphyry copper mineralization occurred in the Triassic.The Triassic suites have adakite-like character with high Sr/Y,and show no or minimal negative Eu anomalies,indicating early dominant amphibole with limited plagioclase fractionation.For the Triassic intrusions,the high zircon Eu/Eu*(0.67-0.89),Δ_(FMQ)(1.04±0.53;whereΔ_(FMQ)is the log fO_(2)difference between the sample value and the fayalite-magnetite-quartz mineral buffer),hygrometer values(∼7.19 wt.% H_(2)O)and high whole-rock Fe_(2)O_(3)/FeO,Sr/Y,V/Sc and 10,000×(Eu/Eu*)/Y ratios together indicate the Triassic magmas were oxidized and hydrous.These contents and ratios of the Triassic suites are significantly higher than those of the Ordovician suites(Δ_(FMQ)=0.74±0.26,∼5.90 wt.%H_(2)O),suggesting that the newly discovered Triassic magmas are more oxidized and hydrous,with high potential for porphyry copper mineralization.Based on the investigation of mineralization and the above results,we proposed that multiple superimposed mineralizations can help form a large-scale deposit and the southeastern segment is a favorable exploration area at Tongshan.

文摘TiAl alloys were melted in BaZrO_(3)crucibles without and with Y addition at 1550℃for 5,10,and 15 min,respectively.The effect of the melting time and Y addition on the interaction between the crucibles and the alloys was investigated.Results revealed that the interaction extent was intensified with the increasing melting time.However,it could be effectively suppressed by adding Y into the alloy due to the in situ generated Y_(2)O_(3)protection layer.The thickness of the interaction layer could be decreased from 95.6 to 25.1μm with Y addition at 1550°C for 15 min.In addition,a significant deoxidation effect was achieved by adding Y,and the O concentration of the alloy was decreased from 0.2 to 0.0561 wt.%.In comparison with Al_(2)O_(3),MgO,CaO,and Y_(2)O_(3)crucibles,BaZrO_(3)crucible combined with Y addition exhibited the lowest O contamination to the alloy melt.

文摘The Shuangjianzishan deposit is a typical magmatic-hydrothermal deposit located in the southern Great Xing'an Range.Recent investigations have identified significant copper and tin mineralization at depth within the Shuangjianzishan deposit;however,the coupling relationship between magmatic emplacement and mineralization processes remains debated.This study presents whole-rock geochemistry,zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating,and zircon Hf isotope analyses of granite from the northern Shuangjianzishan deposit.The analysis results indicate the granite crystallized between 252.3 and 257.9 Ma,corresponding to Late Permian magmatic activity.The granite displaysε_(Hf)(t)=5.95-14.87,and t_(DM2)=333-900 Ma.Geochemically,the granite is rich in Si and Al,with high K,classified as a calc-alkaline,weakly peraluminous rock.LREEs are enriched,while HREEs are depleted,and a slight negative Eu anomaly,all of which are consistent with A-type granite characteristics.The Hercynian granite in the Shuangjianzishan deposit formed during the latter or post-collisional stages of the collision orogeny following the closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean in the late Paleozoic era.The material source indicates a mixed origin,involving both crust and mantle contributions.The granite is also enriched in Cu,Pb,and Zn,suggesting its potential role as an ore-forming material source for the Shuangjianzishan deposit.This study proposes a potential link between Hercynian magmatism and mineralization at the Shuangjianzishan deposit for the first time,suggesting that multistage metallogenesis may be a response to successive magmatic events from Hercynian to Yanshanian periods in the mining area.

文摘Lower Carboniferous clastic sedimentary rocks(i.e.,the Nanduan Formation)in the Changning-Menglian belt of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau may provide new insights into the tectonic evolution of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean.This paper presents new petrographic,geochemical,and detrital zircon U-Pb age data to constrain the provenance and depositional setting of these rocks.Sandstone samples of the Nanduan Formation are all quartz arenites(Q_(92-99)F_(1-7)L_(0-2))with high SiO_(2)contents(85.1 wt.%-95.2 wt.%;average=90.9 wt.%),indicating high compositional maturity.They exhibit fractionated rare earth element(REE)patterns,with light REE enrichment[(La/Yb)_(N)=6.48-12.1]and negative Eu anomalies(Eu/Eu^(*)=0.53-0.74),and marked negative Sr-Cs-V-Cr-Ni anomalies in upper continental crust-normalised multi-element diagrams.The geochemical features and heavy mineral assemblages suggest that sediments were mainly derived from ancient sedimentary rocks in cratonic interiors or stable continental areas,and were probably deposited in a passive continental margin setting.Detrital zircon U-Pb dating(n=256)of the Nanduan Formation sandstones defines three distinct age peaks in the Pan-African(600-500 Ma),younger Grenvillian(950-850 Ma),and older Grenvillian(1250-1000 Ma).Their zircon age spectra are similar to those of Lower Paleozoic sedimentary rocks(i.e.,the Mengtong and Mengdingjie groups)in the BaoshanSibumasu Block,but significantly different from those of older rocks in the Simao-Indochina and other surrounding blocks(i.e.,the western Yangtze,western Cathaysia,western Qiangtang,Tethyan Himalaya,and Lhasa blocks).This suggests that the Nanduan Formation was deposited at the margin of the Baoshan-Sibumasu Block.Combining the new data presented in this study with published data,we suggest that the Nanduan Formation and underlying Lancang Group were deposited in the same setting during the Early and Late Paleozoic,respectively.

文摘The Cenozoic source-to-sink history of the Qaidam Basin is crucial for understanding of the basin-filling architecture,mountain-building processes and even the dynamics of the Tibetan Plateau growth.However,the provenance history of Cenozoic strata in the Qaidam Basin remains ambiguous,especially in the northern Qaidam Basin.This controversy highlights the importance of obtaining the spatial source-to-sink relationships between the Qaidam Basin and its surrounding mountain ranges.In this study,we investigated the detrital zircon U-Pb ages of modern fluvial systems draining the East Kunlun Mountain.Their detrital zircon age distributions fall into five age groups:300-190,530-360,1000-560,2000-1100 and 2650-2000 Ma.The dominant age groups are 530-360 and 300-190 Ma,which represent the successive subduction of the Proto-Tethys and PaleoTethys Oceans and the subsequent continental collisions,respectively.Combining these new detrital zircon U-Pb ages with available age datasets,we finally obtained complete detrital zircon age information for modern fluvial systems in the whole Qaidam Basin.The U-Pb age distributions of modern river sands reveal that the zircon age signature of basement rocks in the East Kunlun Mountain is significantly different from that in the South Qilian Mountain but is similar to that in the Altyn Tagh Mountain.Moreover,these zircon age observations were confirmed by the significant difference in the Nd isotopic signature of modern river sands,which reveals a significant difference between the East Kunlun Mountain and South Qilian Mountain in the formation and evolution process.
