摘要:
为了探讨羌塘盆地石炭纪的演化特征,于羌塘盆地北坳陷东部刻莫地区采集了一批早石炭世早期杂多群砂岩样品,对其进行了全岩地球化学测试。地球化学研究结果表明,岩石矿物成分主要在方解石-石英到含镁黑云母组分端元之间,部分样品接近钾长石组分端元;化学风化作用指标(CIW)、化学蚀变作用指标(CIA)和A-CN-K图解,反映该组砂岩的碎屑成分受到了中等的风化作用,并在风化过程中发生微弱钾交代,长石发生伊利石化。化学组分指标(ICV)表明岩石碎屑为第一次旋回沉积物,受沉积分选和再循环作用影响不大;A-CN-K图解还反映出砂岩碎屑源岩中斜长石含量高于钾长石含量,主要在花岗岩和花岗闪长岩之间变化。主量、微量和稀土元素特征指示,该组砂岩的沉积构造背景为活动大陆边缘和大陆岛弧的性质,说明在早石炭世早期古特提斯大洋已经开始进入俯冲消亡和萎缩阶段。
Abstract:In order to explore the evolution history of Carboniferous Qiangtang basin, samples were collected from Early Carboniferous Zaduo Group sandstone in the Kemo area, the east of north depression of Qiangtang basin, to carry out the geochemical studies.The results indicate that the sandstones mainly consist of K-feldspar, calcite, magnesium biotitea and quartz etc.The chemical indexes of weathering (CIW), alteration (CIA) parameters and the A-CN-K plot of the sandstone suggest that the clastic constituents were moderately weathered in the area, and the clastic constituents underwent K-metasomatisim and replacement of feldspar by illite during weathering processes.The chemical composition index (ICV) indicates that some clastics represent the first cycle sediment, which is not affected by sedimentation sorting and recycling.The A-CN-K diagram also shows that the content of plagioclase in sandstone source rocks is higher than that of potash feldspar, and the variation is mainly between granite and granodiorite.The characteristics of major, trace and rare earth elements indicate that the sedimentary tectonic background of sandstone represents active continental margin and continental island arc, which suggests that the ancient Tethys Ocean began to enter the stage of subduction extinction and shrinkage in the Early Carboniferous.
