Abstract:The Late Ordovician Wufengian sediments in western Zhejiang include three facies: 1) graptolite shale facies, composed of two parts--the upper part the Yankou Formation, with the Diplograplus bohemicus(graptolite) zone and Dalmanitina sp.(trilobite), and the lower part the yuqian Formation with four graptolite zones:(4) the Paraorthograptus yuqianensis zone,(3) the Climacograptus venustus zone,(2) the Dicellograptus szechuanensis zone and(1) the Pseudoclimacograptus anhuiensis zone; 2) mixed facies, consisting of the Wenchang Formation in its upper part and the Changwu Formation in its lower; and 3) shelly limestone facies, whose upper and lower parts are separately the Wenchang Formation and Sanjushan Formation, containing Taeniolites, Proheliolites, etc. In this region the Dalmanitina-Hirnantia bed is well exposed,and Da. and H. are associated with Diplograptus bohemicus, belonging to the late Late Ordovician.The Ordovician-Silurian boundary is drawn as follows:(1) for the graptolite facies, it lies between the Diplograptus bohemicus zone and Glyptograptus persculptus zone;(2) for the graptolite-sheny limestone facies(brachiopod fauna), it is placed between the top of the Diplograptus bohemicus zone and the base of the horizon with the Eospirifer fauna; and 3) for the shelly facies(brachiopod fauna), it is drawn between the top of the horizon with the Dalmanitina-Hirnantia fauna and thebase of the horizon with the Eospirifer fauna.

Abstract:This paper presents a summary of the explanatory notes for the 1: 4, 000.000 scale"Lithgspheric Dynamics Map of China and Adjacent Seas". Which gives an outline of the geological and geophysical processes that are presently active or were once active during the Cenozoic. The focus is concentrated on intraplate phenomena and on explaining them in terms of fundamental plate tectonic processes.The lithosphere in China is very heterogeneous. Its dynamics can be described in terms of the relative motions of 8 active subplates and related 17 tectonic blocks, and the characteristics of neotectonic deformation. The present-day movement and deformation of the lithosphere in China, their relationship with the deep-seated processes, and the lateral heterogeneity, mass difference and stress state within it that will tend to cause crustal movement in the future are illustrated.The intraplate tectonics and stress field are mainly controlled by the heterogeneity of the lithosphere and the mode of interaction between subplates and their boundary conditions. The collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate began and proceeded along the Tethys ocean side, which has produced a strong compressional stress in western China and brought about a high shear stress in the regions round the eastern and western corners of the Himalaya block. However, the eastern part of China is directly influenced by the western Pacific plate boundaries. The minimum principal stress here is tensional. which makes the shear stress high, it may be the cause of the high seismicity in North China and maritime region of southeastern China.

Abstract:Taking the Jinchang gold-copper field in Yinan County, Shandong Province, China, as an example, the authors have proposed that the migration and concentration of ore-forming substances carried in the hydrothermal solutions might be mainly controlled by the structural deformation taking place during the mineralization epoch. It has been found that the ore-forming elements are generally concentrated in the places with strong structural deformation and that different types of ore bodies occur in different parts of deformational structures, In addition, the authors have conducted a quantitative evaluation of the structural control over the emplacement of ores through petromechanical experiments, measurement of physico-mechanical parameters of the rocks, inversion of the stress field and simulation of distribution of migration potential of the ore-forming solutions with the theory of infiltration mechanics.

Abstract:The alpine-type ultrabasic rocks of the studied area have undergone plastic deformation under a temperature about 800--1200℃, a pressure about 0.9--1.68 GPa and differential stress of 0.2--0.35 GPa in relatively dry conditions, forming ultrabasie mylonite with porphyroclastic and mylonitic textures, Primary crystallized silicate melt inclusions and melt-fluid inclusions are discovered in porphyroclastic minerals and ore-forming chrome spinel. These rocks are formed under relatively stable physico-chemical conditions through liquid immiscibility of silicate melts, at 1200°-- 1300° and 1.1--1.38 GPa, equivalent to a depth of 40--50 km. No inclusion has been found in recrystallized secondary olivine and pyroxene, indicating that the plastic deformation happened after the formation of the rocks.

Abstract:In the Zhongtiao Mountains, all of the most significant copper deposits occur in the early Proterozoic mobile belt. They are the meta-sedimentary copper deposit in meta-pelite semi-pelite formation and the meta-volcanic porphyry copper deposit in meta-potassic volcano-sedimentary formation, belonging respectively to the lower and middle-upper Jiang-xian Group(2, 500--2, 300 Ma); and the meta-sedimentary-remoulded copper deposit in metacarbonate-black shale formation of the Zhongtiao Group(2, 300--1, 830 Ma). The Zhongtiao Movement(about 1, 800 Ma B. P.) had caused regional metamorphism and hydrothermal action added to the early Proterozoic mobile belt, thus reformedthe original ore deposits of different genetic types to give similar hydrothermal and geochemical characters. However, primary features of the ore deposits as controlled by the original sedimentary or volcano-sedimentary formation are basically unaltered.

Abstract:Taking for example the Luobosa chromite deposit in Tibet combined with other deposits of the same type in the world, the paper discusses the genetic mechanism of podiform chromite deposits. The study indicates that chromite and dunite-harzburgite are both the products of different degrees of partial melting of the same primary pyrolite(spinel lherzolite) and that chromite and dunite are the end product of higher degree of partial melting.The melting mechanism lies in the convcrsion of the two subgroups of pyroxenes(Cpx and Opx) into olivine and spinel respectively as a result of their incongruent melting, accompanied by regulation and reformation of accessory chrome spinel and such rock-forming minerals as Ol, Opx and Cpx, thus resulting in the close association of chromite deposits and dunite. The results of this study are of general significance for understanding the genesis of chromite deposits of the same type in the world.

Abstract:The authors have found in their studies many new genetic types of microtextures of bauxite. A sedimentological genetic classification of bauxites based on these features and a division of the microfacies types of bauxites formed in major microenvironments are proposed. Four kinds of sedimentary sequence of bauxitic sediments have also been recognized. On these bases, a generalized sedimentary model of Carboniferous bauxites in North China is presented, in which storm-turbidite currents play an important role in the formation and enrichment of bauxite deposits.
