Notably, the mineralization age of the Tieshanlong ore field is not well constrained, and our field investigation reveals that granitic emplacement occurred at different stages. However, previous studies have not distinguished these multiple stages of magmatism. The Tieshanlong granite complex is closely related to the Huangsha quartz vein-type W-Sn deposit and Tongling skarn-type Cu-W-Sn deposit in this field. Through field investigations and isotopic age analyses, this work studies the relationship between multistage magmatic activity and mineralization in the Tieshanlong ore field. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb isotope analyses revealed that the first- and second-staged granites formed at 154.2 ± 0.6 Ma (MSDW = 1.4) and 151.2 ± 0.4 Ma (MSDW = 1.5), with zircon <i>ε</i>_Hf(<i>t</i>) values ranging from -13.1 to -10.5 and from -14.7 to -11.1, respectively. These data suggest that the Tieshanlong granite complex was derived from the partial melting of ancient crustal material. LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating of wolframite and cassiterite reveals that W-Sn mineralization occurred at 160–150 Ma, which agrees well with the U-Pb dating results of the second-staged granite within analytical errors. The magmatic activity in this ore field can be divided into three stages: 175–154 Ma, 154–150 Ma and 150–145 Ma. The quartz vein- and skarn-type W-Sn mineralization is closely related to second-staged fine-grained two-mica granite, and formed earlier than skarn-type Cu- mineralization. This study establishes a metallogenic model for the Tieshanlong ore field, and this model has important practical significance for identifying concealed W-Sn(-Cu) deposits around other granitic complexes in the Nanling Range.</p>","PeriodicalId":7095,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geologica Sinica ‐ English Edition","volume":"98 5","pages":"1255-1269"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142525467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A dataset comprising 35,188 measured soil samples was used to map the SOC distribution in the region. Multiple linear regression (MLR) and random forest models (RFM) were employed to assess the importance of driving indicators for SOC. We also carried out partial correlation and path analyses to further investigate the relationship between climate and geochemistry. The SOC content in dryland soils of the Songliao Plain ranged from 0.05% to 11.63%, with a mean value of 1.47% ± 0.90%. There was a notable increasing trend in SOC content from the southwest to the northeast regions. The results of MLR and RFM revealed that temperature was the most critical factor, demonstrating a significant negative correlation with SOC content. Additionally, iron oxide was the most important soil geochemical indicator affecting SOC variability.

NE–NNE trending folds and faults developed in the northern margin of the basins. The reconstruction of tectonic stress fields indicates four stress stages dominating the basins' evolution including NW–SE compression, N–S compression, NW–SE extension and NWW–SEE compression. 2D seismic profiles reveal coexistence of thrust, strike-slip and normal faults in the basin. Combined with regional geological studies, the geodynamic processes for the formation of the Hanshan–Wuwei basin can be divided into five stages: 1) During the Late Triassic, EW trending foreland basin was formed by N–S compression; 2) From Mid-Jurassic to Late Jurassic, continuous compression strengthened the foreland deformation and formed thrust nappes. In this stage, the integrated foreland basin was compartmentalized or fragmented, and transferred to the broken foreland basin; 3) NE-trending sinistral strike-slip movement at the beginning of the Early Cretaceous; 4) Regional extension resulted in normal faults and rift basins developing in the Late Cretaceous; 5) The NWW–SEE compression at the end of the Late Cretaceous caused NW sinistral strike-slip faults to form, which partly transformed the rift basin.</p>","PeriodicalId":7095,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geologica Sinica ‐ English Edition","volume":"98 5","pages":"1154-1170"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142541014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although extensive research has been conducted in European continental settings, particularly in the western peri-Tethys regions, the impacts of this event beyond Europe remains largely unexplored. Here, a multiapproach study including investigations into the spore-pollen assemblages, pyrite framboids, clay minerals, total organic carbon (TOC) levels, and organic carbon isotope (<i>δ</i>¹³C_org) levels in a lacustrine borehole section (MED1) from the Yin'gen–Ejinaqi Basin, North China, provides evidence of the occurrence of the Jenkyns Event and its extensive sedimentary responses in the eastern Tethys terrestrial systems. Two distinct spore-pollen assemblages have been identified in MED1 (drilling depth: 982.4 m to 1267.5 m), with the <i>Cycadopites</i>–<i>Protopinu</i>s–<i>Osmundacidites</i> assemblage in the lower part (1267.5 m to 1132.9 m) indicating a middle Early Jurassic age and the <i>Classopollis</i> assemblage in the upper part (1132.9 m to 985.7 m) suggesting a Toarcian age. Framboidal pyrite data suggest more anoxic conditions during the deposition of black mudstone and shale intercalations in the lower part of the <i>Classopollis</i> assemblage (1132.9 m to 1066.9 m), which combined with organic carbon enrichment and negative <i>δ</i>¹³C_org excursions, are considered the paleoenvironmental response to the Jenkyns Event in the study area. Furthermore, the evolution of vegetation groups changed from plant groups characterized by bisaccate and cycad pollen, as well as fern spores, to vegetation groups represented by Cheirolepidiaceae pollen across the Jenkyns Event, as evidenced by spore-pollen data, together with the clay mineral assemblage change characterized by a notable increase in illite at the expense of kaolinite, suggests that while a subtropical-temperate climate persisted, a change toward warmer and drier conditions most likely occurred in the early Toarcian in the study area. In contrast to the humidification evidenced in many coastal settings, this aridification trend in the Yin'gen–Ejinaqi Basin aligns with the conditions in many inland areas.

The optimization of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) for carbon reduction mandates a nuanced understanding of the diverse geological attributes present in CBM reserves globally. Traditional estimations of CO₂-ECBM's carbon sequestration potential have predominantly relied on rudimentary empirical models, notably those proposed by the United States Department of Energy (DOE), which overlook the intrinsic geological conditions and the physicochemical properties of subsurface fluids. Addressing these limitations, our study implements the advanced DR/Henry mixed adsorption model in tandem with the Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR-EOS). This approach meticulously identifies the critical parameters governing the mass exchange ratios between CO₂ and CH₄, pertinent to in-situ geological environments. Subsequently, we have formulated a comprehensive carbon sequestration potential assessment framework. This innovative model adheres to the mass conservation principles for individual CO₂ and CH₄ components, taking into account the specific surface and stratigraphic conditions prevalent. Employing this refined methodology, we evaluated the CO₂-ECBM carbon sequestration potential of the 40 evaluation units of extensional, compressive, and cratonic continental coal bearing basins in China's three major temperature-pressure systems across different depth domains and coal ranks within 2000 m. Our findings reveal that the theoretical carbon sequestration capacity of China's continental coal-bearing basins is approximately 59.893 billion tons.
