Impact glasses can be categorized as either local or exotic. Those preserving geochemical signatures matching local lithologies (e.g., mare basalts or their single minerals) or regolith bulk soil compositions are classified as “local”. Otherwise, they could be defined as “exotic”. The analysis of exotic glasses provides the opportunity to explore previously unsampled lunar areas. This study focuses on the identification of exotic glasses within the Chang’e-5 (CE-5) soil sample by analyzing the trace elements of 28 impact glasses with distinct major element compositions in comparison with the CE-5 bulk soil. However, the results indicate that 18 of the analyzed glasses exhibit trace element compositions comparable to those of the local CE-5 materials. In particular, some of them could match the local single mineral component in major and trace elements, suggesting a local origin. Therefore, it is recommended that the investigation be expanded from using major elements to including nonvolatile trace elements, with a view to enhancing our understanding on the provenance of lunar impact glasses. To achieve a more accurate identification of exotic glasses within the CE-5 soil sample, a novel classification plot of Mg# versus La is proposed. The remaining 10 glasses, which exhibit diverse trace element variations, were identified as exotic. A comparative analysis of their chemical characteristics with remote sensing data indicates that they may have originated from the Aristarchus, Mairan, Sharp, or Pythagoras craters. This study elucidates the classification and possible provenance of exotic materials within the CE-5 soil sample, thereby providing constraints for the enhanced identification of local and exotic components at the CE-5 landing site.展开更多

The Trans-North China Belt （TNCB） is a Paleoproterozoic collisional orogen （ca. 1.9-1.8 Ga） responsible for the amalgamation of the North China Craton.

Detailed field works in Liiliangshan, Hengshan, Wutaishan and Fuping massifs where the belt is well exposed, allow us to draw a new tectonic map and crustal-scale cross sections. The available petrologic, radiometric, geochronologic data are integrated in a geodynamic evolution scheme for this orogen. The Low Grade Mafic Unit （LGMU） is interpreted as an ophiolitic nappe rooted in a suture zone located in the western part of the Lüliangshan. This ophiolitic nappe overthrusts to the SE upon the Orthogneiss-Volcanites Unit （OVU） that consists of a bimodal volcanic-sedimentary series metamorphosed under amphibolite facies conditions intruded by calcalkaline orthogneiss. The OVU is a composite Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic magmatic arc developed during two stages （ca. 2500 and 2100 Ma） upon a continental basement corresponding to the western extension of the Neoarchean Fuping massif The OVU overthrusts to the SE the Fuping massif along the Longquanguan shear zone. This stack of nappes, coeval with an amphibolite facies metamorphism, is dated at ca. 1880 Ma. Subsequently, the metamorphic series experienced a widespread migmatization at 1850 Ma and was intruded by post-orogenic plutons dated at 1800 Ma. The weakly to unmetamorphosed Hutuo Supergroup unconformably overlies the metamorphosed and ductilely deformed units （OVU and LGMU）, but it is also involved in a second tectonic phase developed in subsurface conditions. These structural features lead us to question the ca. 2090 Ma age attributed to the Hutuo supergroup. Moreover, in the Fuping massif several structural and magmatic lines of evidence argue for an earlier orogenic event at ca. 2100 Ma that we relate to an older west-directed subduction below the Fuping Block. The Taihangshan Fault might be the location of a possible suture zone between the Fuping Block and an eastern one. A geodynamic model at variance with previous ones, is proposed to account for the formation of the TNCB. In this scheme, three Archean continents, namely from west to east, the Ordos, Fuping and Eastern Blocks are separated by the Lüliang and Taihang Oceans. The closure of the Taihang Ocean at ca. 2100 Ma by westward subduction below the Fuping Block accounts for the arc magmatism and the 2100 Ma orogeny. The second collision at 1900-1880 Ma between the Fuping and Ordos blocks is responsible for the main structural metamorphic and magmatic features of the Trans-North China Belt.展开更多

Apatite fission track dating and thermal history modeling suggest that the northern Tarim experienced multi-stage cooling events which were assumed to be associated with the distant effects of the Cimmerian orogeny and India-Eurasia collision in the past. But the first episode of exhumation in the northern Tarim, occurring in the mid-Permian to Triassic, is here suggested to be induced by docking of the Tarim Craton and final amalgamation of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. The cooling event at ca. 170 Ma may be triggered by the Qiangtang-Eurasia collision. Widespread Cretaceous exhumation could be linked with docking of the Lhasa terrane in the late Jurassic. Cenozoic reheating and recooling likely occurred because of the northpropagating stress, however, this has not affected the northern Tarim much because the Tarim is characterized by rigid block-like motion.展开更多

Samples with honinite-like chemical compositions also coexist with these peridotites. The spinels within the peridotites have high-A1 end-members with A1203 content of 30 wt%-50 wt%, typical of mantle spinels. When compared with experimentally determined melt extraction trajectories, the harzburgites display a high degree of melting and enrichment of SiO2, which is typical of cratonic mantle peridotites. The peridotites display variably enriched light rare earth elements （REEs）, relatively depleted middle REEs and weakly fractionated heavy REEs, which suggest a melt extraction of over 25% in the spinel stability field. The occurrence of are- and SSZ-type chromian spinels in the peridotites suggests that melt extraction and metasomatism occurred mostly in a subduction-related setting. This is also supported by the geochemical data of the coexisting boninite-like samples. The peridotites have lS7Os/lSSOs ratios ranging from 0.113-0.122, which is typical of cratonic iithospheric mantle. These lSTOs/ISSOs ratios yield model melt extraction ages （TRD） ranging from 981 Ma to 2054 Ma, which may represent the minimum estimation of the melt extraction age. The Ai203- lSTOs/lSSOs-proxy isochron ages of 2.4 Ga-2.7 Ga suggest a mantle melt depletion age between the Late Achaean and Early Paleoproterozoic. Both the peridotites and boninite-like rocks are therefore interpreted as tectonically exhumed continental lithospheric mantle of the North China Craton, which has experienced mantle melt depletion and subduction-related mantle metasomatism during the Neoarchean- Paleoproterozoic.展开更多

Basalt to basaltic andesite and andesite to dacite were collected from two sections, which showed eruption ages of 278.2±4.1 Ma and 258.3±3.0 Ma respectively. All samples are characterized by high abundances in Al2O3, LREEs, and LILEs, but depleted in HFSEs. Together with high Mg# ratios and low K/tholeiite to calc-alkaline series, these features indicated that basalt to andesite was likely derived from relatively low degree partial melting of the subduction-fluid related mantle in the spinel phase. And dacite was mainly from the partial melting of crust, then affected by mantle. All samples barely went through fractional crystallization process with the slight Eu anomaly. Compared with the contemporary basalt in NCB, rocks in BAB have a complex composition of zircon and a more positive εHf(t) value(-6.6-6.4), indicating that they had different magma sources of rocks. Though with different basements, NCB and BAB have become an integrated whole before 278 Ma. Therefore, it could be concluded that NCB and BAB belonged to the active continental margin and the PAO had not closed yet until late Permian and then it disappeared gradually and the CAOB developed into a condition of syn-post collision.展开更多

Over the past decades there have been sustained efforts to develop a more comprehensive understanding of ocean-atmosphere redox evolution and its relationship to the evolution of early life （Fig. 1）. It is generally accepted that the development of oxygenic photosynthesis at ~2.7 Ga may have been responsible for the Great Oxidation Event （GOE） at the beginning of the Proterozoic Eon, whereas a second big O2 rise at the end of the Proterozoic Eon （the so-called Neoproterozoic Oxidation Event or NOE） was responsible for the diversification of metazoans （Lyons et al., 2014）.展开更多

文摘Highly evolved granite associated with pegmatite shells exhibits significant potential for rare metal mineralization;however,the mechanisms through which these pegmatite shells contribute to magmatic evolution and rare metal enrichment remain poorly understood.The Late Jurassic Shihuiyao Nb-Ta-(Rb-Be-Li)deposit is one of the largest rare-metal deposits in the Southern Great Xing’an Range(SGXR),Northeast China.Exploratory trenches expose distinct layered zones from top to bottom:alternating microcline pegmatite and aplite layers(zone I),topaz lepidolite albite granite and lepidolite amazonite pegmatite(zone II),and muscovite albite granite(zoneⅢ).We conducted U-Pb dating of cassiterite,monazite,and Nb-Ta oxide,monazite Nd isotopes,and whole-rock and mineral geochemistry for the three zones.Multi-mineral U-Pb ages indicate that the three zones formed during the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous(147-142 Ma).Geochemical analyses of whole-rock,mica,and microcline suggest an evolutionary sequence from zone I to zoneⅢ,and finally to zone II.The Zr/Hf,Nb/Ta,Y/Ho,and K/Rb ratios combined with the rare earth element(REE)tetrad effects suggest higher degree of differentiation and fluid-melt interaction of the Shihuiyao leucogranite without a pegmatite shell compared to coeval barren granites from both Shihuiyao and the SGXR.A progressive increase in the degree of evolution is evident from the leucogranite without a pegmatite shell to the leucogranite with a discontinuous shell,and ultimately to the leucogranite with a continuous shell.The pegmatite shell acted as a geochemical barrier that facilitated the accumulation of Li and F in the underlying magma,which played a crucial role in lowering the solidus temperature of the granitic magma.This process prolonged the crystallization duration while reducing melt viscosity and density,thereby creating favorable conditions for magma differentiation and fluid-melt interaction.Rapid crystallization of the earlier water-and Be-rich melt led to the Be mineralization in the pegmatite shell.Moreover,the formation of this shell served as a barrier for Li mineralization in the underlying topaz lepidolite albite granite.This study enhances our understanding of the critical contribution of pegmatite shells to magmatic evolution and rare-metal mineralization.

文摘Plate subduction leads to complex exhumation processes on continents.The Huangling Massif lies at the northern margin of the South China Block.Whether the Huangling Massif was exhumed as a watershed of the middle reaches of the Paleo-Yangtze River during the Mesozoic remains under debate.We examined the exhumation history of the Huangling Massif based on six granite bedrock samples,using apatite fission track(AFT)and apatite and zircon(U-Th)/He(AHe and ZHe)thermochronology.These samples yielded ages of 157–132 Ma(ZHe),119–106 Ma(AFT),and 114–72 Ma(AHe),respectively.Thermal modeling revealed that three phases of rapid cooling occurred during the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous,late Early Cretaceous,and Late Cretaceous.These exhumation processes led to the high topographic relief responsible for the emergence of the Huangling Massif.The integrated of our new data with published sedimentological records suggests that the Huangling Massif might have been the watershed of the middle reaches of the Paleo-Yangtze River since the Cretaceous.At that time,the rivers flowed westward into the Sichuan Basin and eastward into the Jianghan Basin.The subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Asian continent in the Mesozoic deeply influenced the geomorphic evolution of the South China Block.
文摘The Paleoproterozoic was a critical time in whether modern-style plate tectonics had become globally dominant(e.g.,Wan et al.,2020).The Capricorn Orogen witnessed the assembly of the Pilbara and Yilgarn Cratons and an exotic microcontinent,the Glenburgh Terrane,to form the West Australia Craton(WAC)through two collisional orogenic events,the 2215–2145 Ma Ophthalmian and 2005–1950 Ma Glenburgh Orogenies(Johnson et al.,2013;Fig.1).Compared to other Proterozoic orogenic belts in Australia,the Capricorn Orogen preserves‘complete'opposing continental margin successions,together with intervening arc fragments associated with oceanic closure and foreland basins associated with collisional loading(Cawood et al.,2009).

文摘Subduction zones are major convergent boundaries,where the downgoing oceanic plates usually form continuous tabular slabs extending deep into the Earth’s interior.However,many subducting slabs especially those with young ages,exhibit complex geometry,with varying degrees of influence on the overlying continent and surface environment.To better understand the mechanism of such slab deformation,we apply four-dimensional finite element geodynamic models with data assimilation to investigate the evolution of the Cocos subduction in Central America,where a double-slab configuration with complex tearing has recently been observed.We reproduce the subduction history of the Cocos slab since the Eocene.During this period,multiple episodes of tearing occurred within the Cocos slab,starting at 25 Ma.We find that the ancient Farallon slab,subducted during the Mesozoic,enhances the lateral pressure gradient across the slab hinge,promoting eastward mantle flow and tearing of the Cocos slab.The repeated tearing and subduction of the young Cocos plate have shaped the complex slab configuration in the region.

Otherwise, they could be defined as “exotic”. The analysis of exotic glasses provides the opportunity to explore previously unsampled lunar areas. This study focuses on the identification of exotic glasses within the Chang’e-5 (CE-5) soil sample by analyzing the trace elements of 28 impact glasses with distinct major element compositions in comparison with the CE-5 bulk soil. However, the results indicate that 18 of the analyzed glasses exhibit trace element compositions comparable to those of the local CE-5 materials. In particular, some of them could match the local single mineral component in major and trace elements, suggesting a local origin. Therefore, it is recommended that the investigation be expanded from using major elements to including nonvolatile trace elements, with a view to enhancing our understanding on the provenance of lunar impact glasses. To achieve a more accurate identification of exotic glasses within the CE-5 soil sample, a novel classification plot of Mg# versus La is proposed. The remaining 10 glasses, which exhibit diverse trace element variations, were identified as exotic. A comparative analysis of their chemical characteristics with remote sensing data indicates that they may have originated from the Aristarchus, Mairan, Sharp, or Pythagoras craters. This study elucidates the classification and possible provenance of exotic materials within the CE-5 soil sample, thereby providing constraints for the enhanced identification of local and exotic components at the CE-5 landing site.

文摘Accurate and effective assessment of hydrothermal resources is crucial in the geothermal industry,given that the global installed capacity for direct use(173303 MW)significantly exceeds that for geothermal power(16260 MW).Despite the widespread application of various geothermal resource assessment methods,including the volumetric method,Monte Carlo method,analogy,statistical analysis,and numerical methods,there are still limitations faced in terms of data precision and model uncertainty assessment,fracture heterogeneity,boundary conditions,renewable energy attributes,integration of geothermal compensation mechanisms under the“extraction-injection”balance,diversification of economic evaluation metrics,and the establishment of standardized assessment criteria.This review outlines the various methods suitable for different stages of the hydrothermal resource assessment process,and proposes future technical approaches for sustainable development,including improving the accuracy of assessments and establishing standards for geothermal resource evaluation methods,in order to enhance the efficiency of geothermal resource utilization.

文摘Jiuhua Mountain,situated in the eastern segment of the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt,is characterized by extensive granite masses,providing an ideal setting for investigating the exhumation history of the region.This study presents the first zircon(U-Th)/He thermochronological investigation utilizing an age-elevation approach for Jiuhua Mountain.Zircon(U-Th)/He analyses of six bedrock samples yielded consistent ages ranging from 89 to 74 Ma.This finding aligns with the results of thermal history simulations(90-70 Ma),indicating significant exhumation in the Jiuhua Mountain region during the late Cretaceous.Comparative analysis with adjacent orogenic belts(e.g.,the Mufu and Dabie Mountains)reveals a consistent pattern:low-temperature thermochronological ages are younger than the U-Pb zircon ages.This indicates a widespread tectonic exhumation and erosion phase affecting multiple regions within the northern part of the South China Block.The rapid exhumation observed during the late Cretaceous is primarily attributed to extensional tectonics,driven by the rollback of the Paleo-Pacific slab and accompanied by thermal upwelling of the asthenosphere beneath the South China Block.These findings establish crucial temporal constraints for the exhumation history of the eastern Jiangnan Orogenic Belt,significantly enhancing our understanding of its poorly constrained Cretaceous tectonic evolution.

文摘Many planets,including the Earth,possess a global dipolar magnetic field.To diagnose the interior source of the dipolar field,researchers usually adopt a dipole model consisting of six parameters to fit the observed dataset of the magnetic field.However,the simultaneous fitting of these parameters often leads to multiple local optimal parameter sets.To address this fitting dilemma,Rong ZJ et al.(2021)recently developed a current loop model.This technique can successively separate and invert the loop parameters.Here,we further show how this technique can be reduced and modified to fit a dipole model.Applications of this reduced technique to the International Geomagnetic Reference Field model and the Martian crustal field model highlight its unique ability to diagnose both the planetary global dipolar field and the local crustal field anomaly,a capability that sets it apart from existing methods.The potential impact of this technique on geomagnetism and planetary magnetism is significant,given its unique ability to diagnose both the planetary global dipolar field and the local crustal field anomaly.

文摘0 INTRODUCTION Subduction of oceanic plate is vital for carbon redistribution and recycling between Earth's surface and mantle,which plays a critical role in shaping carbon budgets and terrestrial habitability through geological time(e.g.,Plank and Manning,2019;Sverjensky et al.,2014;Dasgupta and Hirschmann,2010).The long-term subduction of Pacific/Paleo-Pacific Plate from Late Mesozoic to Cenozoic beneath Northeast China makes this area an ideal candidate for exploring ancient carbon recycling and its impact on Earth's surface environment.

文摘In common practice in the oil fields,the injection of water and gas into reservoirs is a crucial technique to increase production.The control of the waterflooding front in oil/gas exploitation is a matter of great concern to reservoir engineers.Monitoring the waterflooding front in oil/gas wells plays a very important role in adjusting the well network and later in production,taking advantage of the remaining oil po-tential and ultimately achieving great success in improving the recovery rate.For a long time,micro-seismic monitoring,numerical simulation,four-dimensional seismic and other methods have been widely used in waterflooding front monitoring.However,reconciling their reliability and cost poses a significant challenge.In order to achieve real-time,reliable and cost-effective monitoring,we propose an innovative method for waterflooding front monitoring through the similarity analysis of passive source time-lapse seismic images.Typically,passive source seismic data collected from oil fields have extremely low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),which poses a serious problem for obtaining structural images.The proposed method aims to visualize and analyze underground changes by highlighting time-lapse images and provide a strategy for underground monitoring using long-term passive source data under low SNR conditions.First,we verify the feasibility of the proposed method by designing a theoretical model.Then,we conduct an analysis of the correlation coefficient(similarity)on the passive source time-lapse seismic imaging results to enhance the image differences and identify the simulated waterflooding fronts.Finally,the proposed method is applied to the actual waterflooding front monitoring tasks in Shengli Oilfield,China.The research findings indicate that the monitoring results are consistent with the actual devel-opment conditions,which in turn demonstrates that the proposed method has great potential for practical application and is very suitable for monitoring common development tasks in oil fields.

文摘Ambient noise tomography is an established technique in seismology,where calculating single-or ninecomponent noise cross-correlation functions(NCFs)is a fundamental first step.In this study,we introduced a novel CPU-GPU heterogeneous computing framework designed to significantly enhance the efficiency of computing 9-component NCFs from seismic ambient noise data.This framework not only accelerated the computational process by leveraging the Compute Unified Device Architecture(CUDA)but also improved the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)through innovative stacking techniques,such as time-frequency domain phaseweighted stacking(tf-PWS).We validated the program using multiple datasets,confirming its superior computation speed,improved reliability,and higher signal-to-noise ratios for NCFs.Our comprehensive study provides detailed insights into optimizing the computational processes for noise cross-correlation functions,thereby enhancing the precision and efficiency of ambient noise imaging.
文摘The Trans-North China Belt （TNCB） is a Paleoproterozoic collisional orogen （ca. 1.9-1.8 Ga） responsible for the amalgamation of the North China Craton. Detailed field works in Liiliangshan, Hengshan, Wutaishan and Fuping massifs where the belt is well exposed, allow us to draw a new tectonic map and crustal-scale cross sections. The available petrologic, radiometric, geochronologic data are integrated in a geodynamic evolution scheme for this orogen. The Low Grade Mafic Unit （LGMU） is interpreted as an ophiolitic nappe rooted in a suture zone located in the western part of the Lüliangshan. This ophiolitic nappe overthrusts to the SE upon the Orthogneiss-Volcanites Unit （OVU） that consists of a bimodal volcanic-sedimentary series metamorphosed under amphibolite facies conditions intruded by calcalkaline orthogneiss. The OVU is a composite Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic magmatic arc developed during two stages （ca. 2500 and 2100 Ma） upon a continental basement corresponding to the western extension of the Neoarchean Fuping massif The OVU overthrusts to the SE the Fuping massif along the Longquanguan shear zone. This stack of nappes, coeval with an amphibolite facies metamorphism, is dated at ca. 1880 Ma. Subsequently, the metamorphic series experienced a widespread migmatization at 1850 Ma and was intruded by post-orogenic plutons dated at 1800 Ma. The weakly to unmetamorphosed Hutuo Supergroup unconformably overlies the metamorphosed and ductilely deformed units （OVU and LGMU）, but it is also involved in a second tectonic phase developed in subsurface conditions. These structural features lead us to question the ca. 2090 Ma age attributed to the Hutuo supergroup. Moreover, in the Fuping massif several structural and magmatic lines of evidence argue for an earlier orogenic event at ca. 2100 Ma that we relate to an older west-directed subduction below the Fuping Block. The Taihangshan Fault might be the location of a possible suture zone between the Fuping Block and an eastern one. A geodynamic model at variance with previous ones, is proposed to account for the formation of the TNCB. In this scheme, three Archean continents, namely from west to east, the Ordos, Fuping and Eastern Blocks are separated by the Lüliang and Taihang Oceans. The closure of the Taihang Ocean at ca. 2100 Ma by westward subduction below the Fuping Block accounts for the arc magmatism and the 2100 Ma orogeny. The second collision at 1900-1880 Ma between the Fuping and Ordos blocks is responsible for the main structural metamorphic and magmatic features of the Trans-North China Belt.

文摘Tarim Precambrian bedrocks are well exposed in the Kuluketage and Aksu areas, where twenty four samples were taken to reveal the denudation history of the northern Tarim Craton. Apatite fission track dating and thermal history modeling suggest that the northern Tarim experienced multi-stage cooling events which were assumed to be associated with the distant effects of the Cimmerian orogeny and India-Eurasia collision in the past. But the first episode of exhumation in the northern Tarim, occurring in the mid-Permian to Triassic, is here suggested to be induced by docking of the Tarim Craton and final amalgamation of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. The cooling event at ca. 170 Ma may be triggered by the Qiangtang-Eurasia collision. Widespread Cretaceous exhumation could be linked with docking of the Lhasa terrane in the late Jurassic. Cenozoic reheating and recooling likely occurred because of the northpropagating stress, however, this has not affected the northern Tarim much because the Tarim is characterized by rigid block-like motion.

文摘Tectonically emplaced peridotites from North Hebei Province, North China Craton, have retained an original harzburgite mineral assemblage of olivine （54%-58%） ＋ orthopyroxene （40%-46%） ＋minor clinopyroxene （〈1%）＋spinel. Samples with honinite-like chemical compositions also coexist with these peridotites. The spinels within the peridotites have high-A1 end-members with A1203 content of 30 wt%-50 wt%, typical of mantle spinels. When compared with experimentally determined melt extraction trajectories, the harzburgites display a high degree of melting and enrichment of SiO2, which is typical of cratonic mantle peridotites. The peridotites display variably enriched light rare earth elements （REEs）, relatively depleted middle REEs and weakly fractionated heavy REEs, which suggest a melt extraction of over 25% in the spinel stability field. The occurrence of are- and SSZ-type chromian spinels in the peridotites suggests that melt extraction and metasomatism occurred mostly in a subduction-related setting. This is also supported by the geochemical data of the coexisting boninite-like samples. The peridotites have lS7Os/lSSOs ratios ranging from 0.113-0.122, which is typical of cratonic iithospheric mantle. These lSTOs/ISSOs ratios yield model melt extraction ages （TRD） ranging from 981 Ma to 2054 Ma, which may represent the minimum estimation of the melt extraction age. The Ai203- lSTOs/lSSOs-proxy isochron ages of 2.4 Ga-2.7 Ga suggest a mantle melt depletion age between the Late Achaean and Early Paleoproterozoic. Both the peridotites and boninite-like rocks are therefore interpreted as tectonically exhumed continental lithospheric mantle of the North China Craton, which has experienced mantle melt depletion and subduction-related mantle metasomatism during the Neoarchean- Paleoproterozoic.

文摘Considering the Neo-Tethyan tectonic process and the resulting environmental changes,a geodynamic model of“one-way train loading”is proposed to analyze the formation and evolution mechanism of the Persian Gulf Superbasin with the most abundant hydrocarbons in the world.The Persian Gulf Superbasin has long been in a passive continental margin setting since the Late Paleozoic in the process of unidirectional subduction,forming a superior regional space of hydrocarbon accu-mulation.During the Jurassic-Cretaceous,the Persian Gulf Superbasin drifted slowly at low latitudes,and developed multiple superimposed source-reservoir-caprock assemblages as a combined result of several global geological events such as the Hadley Cell,the Equatorial Upwelling Current,and the Jurassic True Polar Wander.The collision during the evolution of the foreland basin since the Cenozoic led to weak destruction,which was conducive to the preservation of oil and gas.Accordingly,it is be-lieved that the slow drifting and long retention in favorable climate zone of the continent are the critical factors for hydrocarbon enrichment.Moreover,the prospects of hydrocarbon potential in other continents in the Neo-Tethyan were proposed.
文摘The Kop ophiolite in NE Turkey is a fragment of Neo-Tethyan forearc.It can be mainly divided into a paleo-Moho transition zone(MTZ)in the North and a harzburgitic mantle sequence in the South.Dunites are predominant in the MTZ of the Kop ophiolite,and they are locally interlayered with chromitites and enclose minor bodies of harzburgites near the petrological Moho boundary.Large Fe isotopic variations were observed for magnesiochromite(-0.14‰to 0.06‰)and olivine(-0.12‰to 0.14‰)from the MTZ chromitites,dunites and harzburgites.In individual dunite samples,magnesiochromite usually has lighter Fe isotopic compositions than olivine,which was probably caused by subsolidus Mg-Fe exchange between the two mineral phases.Both magnesiochromite and olivine display an increasing trend ofδ56Fe along a profile from chromitite todunite.This trend reflects continuous fractional crystallization in a magma chamber,which resulted in heavier Fe isotopes concentrated in the evolved magmas.In each cumulative cycle of chromitite and dunite,dunite was formed from relatively evolved melts after massive precipitation of magnesiochromite.Mixing of more primitive and evolved melts in the magma chamber was a potential mechanism for triggering the crystallization of magnesiochromite,generating chromitite layers in the cumulate pile.Before mixing happened,the primitive melts had reacted with mantle harzburgites during their ascendance;whereas the evolved melts may lie on the olivine-chromite cotectic near the liquidus field of pyroxene.Variable degrees of magma mixing and differentiation are expected to generate melts with differentδ56Fe values,accounting for the Fe isotopic variations of the Kop MTZ.

文摘In this study, zircon U-Pb ages, geochemical and Lu-Hf isotopic data are presented for the newly identified volcanic rocks which were considered as Bainaimiao group in Bainaimiao Arc Belt(BAB), Inner Mongolia, which could provide important constraints on the evolution of the northern part of North China Block(NCB) and BAB. Basalt to basaltic andesite and andesite to dacite were collected from two sections, which showed eruption ages of 278.2±4.1 Ma and 258.3±3.0 Ma respectively. All samples are characterized by high abundances in Al2O3, LREEs, and LILEs, but depleted in HFSEs. Together with high Mg# ratios and low K/tholeiite to calc-alkaline series, these features indicated that basalt to andesite was likely derived from relatively low degree partial melting of the subduction-fluid related mantle in the spinel phase. And dacite was mainly from the partial melting of crust, then affected by mantle. All samples barely went through fractional crystallization process with the slight Eu anomaly. Compared with the contemporary basalt in NCB, rocks in BAB have a complex composition of zircon and a more positive εHf(t) value(-6.6-6.4), indicating that they had different magma sources of rocks. Though with different basements, NCB and BAB have become an integrated whole before 278 Ma. Therefore, it could be concluded that NCB and BAB belonged to the active continental margin and the PAO had not closed yet until late Permian and then it disappeared gradually and the CAOB developed into a condition of syn-post collision.
文摘The buildup of oxygen in the Earth＇s atmosphere and oceans has fundamentally reshaped the dynamics of nearly all major biogeochemical cycles and ultimately paved the way for the diversification of complex life on Earth. Over the past decades there have been sustained efforts to develop a more comprehensive understanding of ocean-atmosphere redox evolution and its relationship to the evolution of early life （Fig. 1）. It is generally accepted that the development of oxygenic photosynthesis at ~2.7 Ga may have been responsible for the Great Oxidation Event （GOE） at the beginning of the Proterozoic Eon, whereas a second big O2 rise at the end of the Proterozoic Eon （the so-called Neoproterozoic Oxidation Event or NOE） was responsible for the diversification of metazoans （Lyons et al., 2014）.

文摘Thermal diffusivity(D)and thermal conductivity(κ)of harzburgite and dunite from Luobusha ophiolite were simultaneously measured up to 3 GPa and 823 K using the transient plane-source method in a multi anvil apparatus.The results show that the values of D andκof both samples systematically decrease with increasing temperature and increase with increasing pressure.By combination of the thermal physical data of rocks and minerals and geophysical constraints,we performed numerical simulation on the thermal evolution of Tibet vary over depth,distance and geologic ages.The present results provide new constraints on occurrence of partial melting and its geophysical significance beneath Tibetan crust.
