In this article, we focused on glacial sediments material sampled from the surface of the Bellingshausen Ice Dome (King George Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica). These sediments have different genesis: material from cryoconite holes, denuded layers of volcanic ash, flushed ash and soils and soil-like bodies formed in the glacial zone. Chemical analysis of the samples showed that the bulk composition of sediments is as follows: SiO₂ &gt; Fe₂O₃ &gt; Al₂O₃ &gt; SO₃ &gt; CaO &gt; MgO &gt; Na₂O &gt; TiO₂ &gt; K₂O &gt; P₂O₅ &gt; MnO (with SiO₂ content 50–55%, Fe₂O₃ – 17–23%, Al₂O₃ – 6–12%). The loss on ignition was maximum (10–11%) for samples taken at the top of the dome. Calculation of geochemical indexes showed that the mineral part of the samples is a product of erosion and sedimentation processes and is less chemically weathered in the lower part of the ice dome. The weathering type is fersiallitic. The maximum content of organogenic compounds (Total organic carbon – up to 5%, ammonium nitrogen – up to 116 mg/kg and mobile potassium – up to 373 mg/kg) also recorded at the top of the glacial dome; this may be associated with microbiological activity in cryoconite holes and the penetration of organic material from bird fauna. The low content of organogenic compounds on the slopes is caused by the processes of their washout with melt water. The content of trace metals Zn, Ni, and Pb found at higher elevations and distribution of Cu and Cd have more a local character associated with tourism activities and anthropogenic influence from year-round scientific stations. Thus, a number of multidirectional processes take place in the glacial sediments on the Bellingshausen Ice Dome, these are not simple denuded layers of ancient volcanic ash. The glacier cover can be considered as a “living” biogeochemical shell, accumulating products of microbiological and anthropogenic activity, products of erosion and sedimentation and organic matter of ornithogenic origin.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54172,"journal":{"name":"Solid Earth Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2451912X22000186/pdfft?md5=8ed428b1dda809e6d360ff3754508086&pid=1-s2.0-S2451912X22000186-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137341829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Errors arising from improper preparation of the critical double spike solutions are able to be corrected against the regression on a set of over- and under-spiked standards. Accuracy is ensured by correcting mass bias offset based on Monte Carlo calculations. Doping experiments indicate that the double spike method is robust to non-spectrum matrix effects. A long-term precision and accuracy of ±0.03‰ (2SD) was demonstrated for δ²⁶Mg by replicate analyses of well-characterized in-house pure Mg solutions and synthetic samples passed through the column chemistry, provided that each sample was measured four times. The robustness of the method was further assessed by replicate analyses of fifteen geological reference materials ranging from peridotite, basalt, granodiorite, carbonatite to seawater. Rock standards yielded consistently higher δ²⁶Mg by 0.076 ± 0.052‰ (2SD, N = 12) compared to data previously reported by standard-sample-bracketing from the same lab. This discrepancy might result from the difficulty in matching the matrices of natural samples exactly the same to the bracketing standards, even after purification, suggesting a careful evaluation on residual matrix effect for the standard-sampling-bracketing method.

The final closure time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean and the exact subduction processes have continuously been controversial, hindering our recognition of the tectonic evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). Here we investigated the Early Permian gabbros-granodiorites from Xi Ujimqin in the northern Inner Mongolian region. The gabbros have slightly depleted light rare-earth elements [(La/Yb)_N = 0.8] and flat heavy rare earth elements (HREE) [(Gd/Yb)_N = 1.1] that are comparable to those of N-MORB. They show depletion in Nb and Ta, positive whole-rock ε_Nd(t) values of +7.7 to +8.7 and zircon ε_Hf(t) values of +8.7 to +10.6. These mafic rocks are interpreted to be products of partial melting of depleted mantle that had been metasomatized by slab-derived fluids, with subsequent fractional crystallization and minor crustal contamination. These granodiorites chemically resemble typical adakites and have MORB-like whole-rock Sr<img>Nd isotopic compositions (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_i = 0.7028–0.7029; ε_Nd(t) = +8.2–+8.5) and positive zircon ε_Hf(t) (+13.4–+15.9) values, suggesting that they originated from the subducted slab-melts and reacted with mantle wedge peridotite. U<img>Pb zircon dating shows emplacement of N-MORB-type gabbros and adakitic granodiorites at ∼297 Ma and ∼290 Ma, respectively. Our new data indicate the presence coeval slab-derived adakites and slab fluid-metasomatized asthenosphere-derived N-MORB-type rocks, indicating that subduction lasted until at least the Early Permian. Such an association along with the extension-related magmatism in northern Mongolia recorded the northward ridge subduction of the Paleo-Asian Ocean during the Late Carboniferous–Early Permian. This model is consistent with the spatial distribution and the ages of magmatic activity with positive ε_Nd(t)–ε_Hf(t) values from this region.

Here, we report the molybdenite Re-Os isotopic age of the Gangmei deposit and compile the Mo-W- and W-Sn-associated deposits in South China and their Re concentrations in molybdenites, aiming at constraining the ore-forming age of the Gangmei deposit, the scope of Mo-W mineralization in South China and the possible controlling factors of different mineralization types. Four molybdenite samples from the Gangmei deposit were chosen for Re-Os isotopic dating. The Re-Os model ages vary from 162.6 ± 1.6 Ma to 164.1 ± 1.6 Ma with a weighted mean age of 163.1 ± 1.4 Ma and yield an isochron age of 162.2 ± 4.1 Ma (MSWD = 1.01), consistent with the emplacement age of the Gangmei intrusion, indicating a genetic relationship between magmatic activity and mineralization. This age also agrees well with the large-scale Jurassic Mo-W- and W-Sn-associated mineralization in South China, suggesting that the scope of Jurassic Mo-W-associated mineralization can reach the southernmost part of South China. Rhenium concentrations in molybdenites from Jurassic Mo-W-associated and W-Sn-associated deposits in South China suggest that their magma sources are different, and Mo-W-associated deposits may involve more mantle-derived materials.

Twenty samples of shale from Ekekpon and Nkporo Formations were analysed using X-Ray Fluorescence, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and geotechnical techniques. Results from the major oxides of elements revealed that the Nkporo Shale is enriched with SiO₂ &gt; Al₂O₃ &gt; LOI &gt; Fe₂O₃ &gt; SO₃ while the Ekepkon shale is also enriched in SiO₂ &gt; Al₂O₃ &gt; LOI &gt; Fe₂O₃ &gt; CaO &gt; K₂O. The XRD revealed kaolinite as the major clay mineral, while other non-clay minerals are quartz, vallerite, mica, nacaphite, sodalite. The SEM shows that the Ekepkon Shale is enriched in calcium. The correlation matrix revealed SiO₂ resides more in the quartz phase of the Nkporo Shales, while in the Ekekpon Shale the SiO₂ is associated with the clay. The element ratios and discrimination diagrams revealed that the provenance of the shales is of intermediate to mafic igneous rocks and a tectonic setting of continental to oceanic arcs. The presence of kaolinite in the Nkporo Shale with the chemical index of alteration (CIA) values ranging from 83.58 to 96.93, indicated that the shale is derived from intensive chemical weathering in the source area. The low CIA values (37.90–76.96) in Ekenkpon Shale is attributed to CaO and calcium enrichment in the shale and the shale contains high quartz and kaolinite therefore the shale is suggested to have been derived from an intermediate to intense weathering activities in the source area. The geotechnical properties revealed that both shales are suitable for ceramic and refractory industries. The Ekenkpon Shale will be suitable for use as filling material and as raw material in cement industries.
