英文摘要 | The Lanping-Simao Basin (LSB) is a Mesozoic-Cenozoic continental margin rift basin in Western China. It formed during the opening and closing of the Tethys Ocean. This basin is also known as a metal belt as it hosts several metal deposits, besides, the Mengye potash deposit. However, the exact dates of the formation either in the Paleocene or the Cretaceous, and thus the origins of the marine, continental or mixed origins of the Mengye deposits, remain disputed. Based on the basin's evolution, materials of marine origin and/or remnant seawater should be present, but instead the salt layers of the Mengye potash deposit present typically continental lithological features. This study examines and reviews evaporative minerals, Br/Cl and I/Cl molar ratios, and isotopes of S, B, and Sr. land I/Cl data for this area has not been previously reported. The basin's evaporative minerals are dominated by halite and sylvite. The amounts of anhydrite, chlorocalcite, langbeinite, glaserite, tachyhydrite and glauberite are small. All of these form in both marine and continental environments. The values of! and the If Cl molar ratios of halite and sylvite are from 0.07 to 027 ppm, and from 0.03 to 0.11 x 10(-6), respectively, dependent on organic substances. Br and molar Br/Cl values are from 89.08 to 555.45 ppm and from 0.06 x 10(-3) to 0.38 x 10(-3), respectively. All of the Br/Cl molar ratios are lower than those of seawater, and most of them are <0.1, suggesting continental or mixed origin. Previously published delta S-34, delta B-11 and Sr-87/Sr-86 values for evaporative minerals indicate a continental origin for the Mengye potash deposit. However, materials of hydrothermal origin are widely distributed in the basin and may have played an active role for the formation of the potash deposit. Thus the Mengye potash deposit could be of continental origin, with a remnant seawater trace. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
