Zusammenfassung

Pechblenden und uranhaltige Erze aus den Uranlagerstätten von Taoshan wurden mit der U/Pb-Methode untersucht. Alle Daten ergaben diskordante U/Pb-Alter und zeigen damit eine complexe U/Pb-Entwicklung. Altersberechnung mit der Isochronenmethode, dem Tera-Wasserburg Konkordia-Modell und dem Pb/Pb-Isochronenflächen-Modell ergaben nahezu übereinstimmende Ergebnisse. Die Uranmineralisation fand vor ungefähr 70 Ma statt und korrespondiert mit einem thermischen Ereignis am Ende der Kreide. Ein weiteres Alter von etwa 512 Ma läßt sich mit einer episodischen U/Pb-Differenzierung am Ende des Kambriums verursacht durch eine Tektonometamorphisierung der Uranlieferanten in diesem Gebiet interpretieren.

Abstract

Pitchblende and uraniferous ore samples from the Taoshan uranium deposits were investigated by the U-Pb method. All data yielded discordant U-Pb ages which indicate a complex U-Pb evolution. Age calculations for the isochron method, the Tera-Wasserburg concordia model and the Pb-Pb isochron plane model gave identical results. The uranium mineralization took place about 70 Ma ago, equivalent to the thermal event at the end of Cretaceous. A further age of about 512 Ma is explained to indicate an episodic U-Pb differentiation at the end of Cambrian by the tectonometamorphism of uranium source in this region.

Résumé

La méthode U/Pb a été appliquée à la pechblende et au minerai uranifère du gisement de Taoshan. Toutes les mesures ont fourni des âges U/Pb discordants, ce qui indique une évolution complexe de l'association U-Pb. Les calculs de l'âge, effectués par la méthode de l'isochrone, par le modèle Concordia de Tera-Wasserburg et par le modèle de la surface isochrone Pb-Pb ont donné des résultats sensiblement identiques. La minéralisation en uranium s'est effectuée il y a 70 Ma environ et correspond à un événement thermique de la fin du Crétacé. Un âge supplémentaire de 512 Ma est expliqué par une différenciation épisodique U-Pb à la fin du Cambrien, en relation avec l'histoire tectono-métamorphique des roches qui sont la source de l'uranium dans cette région.

Краткое содержание

С помощью геохроноло гического метода ура насвинца определили возраст у рановой смолки и уран овых руд из месторождений урана в Таошане. Все полученные результа ты характеризуются несовпадением дат, и тем самым указыв ают на сложный путь развития этих эл ементов. Зато подсчет ы возраста по методу изохрон, по м одели согласия Tera-Wasserburg'a и по моделям изохронн ых плоскостей соотно шения свинца дали почти-что полностью совпадающ ие даты. Минерализация у рана имела место примерно 70 Ма лет тому н азад и соответствует термическому событию, происходивш ему в конце мелового периода. Другую дату, 512 Ма, связывают с эпизодом дифференци ации урана/свинца в ко нце кембрия, которая была вызвана метаморфизм ом зоны, поставляющей ур ан для данного регион а, в результате тектонич еских процессов.
