SHRIMP锆石年代学对西藏玉龙斑岩铜矿成矿年龄的制约

锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年结果表明,玉龙岩体侵入时限至少为2.6Ma,其中成矿前石英二长斑岩的年龄为43.6±0.8Ma,成矿期黑云母二长花岗斑岩的年龄为41.0Ma±1.0Ma,代表了两幕较大的岩浆活动.玉龙斑岩铜矿主体成矿年龄约为40Ma,长时限多期幕式岩浆侵入和成矿期物理化学条件的剧变,是形成玉龙超大型斑岩铜矿的主要原因.玉龙斑岩铜矿与金沙江-红河成矿带众多新生代斑岩铜矿一样,属于印度-亚欧大陆45Ma陆陆主体碰撞之后第一次大规模应力释放的产物.

西昆仑山阿卡孜岩体锆石SHRIMP定年及其地球化学特征

西昆仑山阿卡孜岩体是该区已知的最古老侵入体。岩体侵入于太古代赫罗斯坦群(TTG岩系)中。获得最新的单颗粒锆石SHRIMP年龄为2426±46Ma。岩石地球化学研究表明，岩石具有高碱度富K特征；∑REE为409．94×10^-6～787．76×10^-6，6Eu为0．48～0．73；微量元素显示富集大离子元素。综合分析该岩体地质地球化学特征，认为该岩体形成于晚太古代-古元古代初期碰撞后拉张背景，是TTG岩系(赫罗斯坦群)重熔的结果。这对研究西昆仑山早前寒武纪陆壳增生及构造演化提供了重要的地质资料。

Predatory interactions between the invasive amphipod Gammarus tigrinus and the native opossum shrimp Mysis relicta

The invasive North American amphipod Gammarus tigrinus is successfully established in Lough Neagh, Northern Ireland. Gammarus tigrinus is increasingly recognized as having significant predatory impacts on macroinverebrates, contrary to the accepted functional feeding group status of Gammarus species. The native opossum shrimp Mysis relicta overlaps in habitat use with G. tigrinus. However, its interaction with benthic macroinvertebrates is rarely appreciated. Mutual predatory interactions between G. tigrinus and M. relicta were assessed in a series of laboratory experiments. Gammarus tigrinus actively preyed on adult and juvenile M. relicta at a range of spatial scales. Females and recently molted M. relicta were particularly vulnerable to predation. Mysis relicta did not prey on adult G. tigrinus, but rapidly eliminated juvenile G. tigrinus in microcosms. Changes in dissolved 02 saturation did not alter the predatory interaction between these species. Microhabitat use by M. relicta was altered in the presence of G. tigrinus, and the presence of G. tigrinus facilitated fish predation on M. relicta. A balance of mutual predatory pressure between these invasive and native species may explain their coexistence. Both species are likely to be strongly interactive with other macroinvertebrates in both native and invasive ranges.
