To reveal the controlling mechanism of impact structure on the spatial distribution of radon and primordial natural radionuclides and provide basic data for planetary geological research, systematic field sampling and laboratory analyses were conducted at a certain impact crater in China. A high-purity germanium (HPGe) γ-ray spectrometer and scintillation-cell radon detector were adopted to measure the activity concentrations of 232 Th, 40 K and gaseous 222 Rn in granite, surface sediment and ambient air across 11 sampling sites covering crater core, crater rim and outer rim zones. The results indicated obvious spatial differentiation of target radionuclides following the sequence: granite > sediment and inner rim > outer rim. The measured specific activities of 40 K and 232 Th fell within the global natural background range, jointly governed by parent rock lithology, impact-induced rock fragmentation, weathering leaching as well as coupled topography and hydrological conditions. Radon concentration exhibited a distinct spatial pattern with high values concentrated in crater core and decreasing towards peripheral areas, and sediment was identified as the dominant radon reservoir within the study area. Radon concentrations in surface water remained low, indicating limited radiological risk under the measured conditions.. This study clarifies the spatial distribution patterns and controlling mechanisms of natural radioactivity for granite-hosted impact craters in frigid-temperate regions, supplying fundamental datasets and technical support for radiation risk evaluation and element cycling research of planetary impact geology.
A series of metamorphic core complexes, including the Xiaoqinling, Xiong'ershan, and Dabie Mountains, span from west to east within the Qinling-Dabie Orogen of Central China. Despite their similar formation timelines and tectonic trends, they exhibit distinct geochemical signatures and exhumation processes. In the Xiaoqinling region, magmatic source temperatures initially increase with depth from approximately 606 degrees C, reaching a peak around 847 degrees C, and then decrease to approximately 660 degrees C at greater depths, whereas in the Xiong'ershan area, they consistently decrease (811 -> 609 degrees C). The Dabie Mountains show consistent source temperatures (similar to 800 degrees C) across depths, suggesting their location above the 'kink' of Late Mesozoic Pacific subduction mantle wedge. Multi-method thermochronological analysis indicates that from 139 Ma to 85 Ma, the Xiaoqinling region cooled at 15.1 degrees C/Ma initially, followed by deceleration to 2.7 degrees C/Ma. Similarly, the Xiong'ershan and Dabie Mountains experienced two-stage exhumation processes, with cooling rates of 10.2 degrees C/Ma, 3.7 degrees C/Ma, and 20.3 degrees C/Ma, 3.2 degrees C/Ma, respectively. High-angle subduction and rollback of the ancient Pacific Plate during the Jurassic-Cretaceous transition facilitated the formation and rapid exposure of these metamorphic core complexes. Subsequent Pacific subduction reorientation during the Late Cretaceous reduced regional extension and thereby decreased the uplift and exhumation rates of these complexes.
The geologic cross-section is an indispensable complement to the geologic map and is the model that represents the underground extension of the materials of the structures. It still lacks an automatic way to adapt to digital transformation. A novel method is proposed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of geologic cross-section construction by spatial data projection. The method has three main steps as follows: 1) Calculation. All key components on the cross-section, including topographic profile and structural data, are automatically generated through a relational database table. 2) Spatial coordinates projection. A cross-section in a free direction comes from the projection of a three dimensional data source. The geometric parameters of the geologic cross-section are obtained through the dimensionality reduction projection of the point coordinates. 3) Data extension. The extension of geologic structures in the subsurface and denuded areas and the spatial relationship between contact lines and topographic profiles are discussed. Four case studies, including Digital Contour Map, Remote Sensing, Global Navigator Satellite System (GNSS), and Laser rangefinder, successfully demonstrate that the proposed method is a simple, flexible, fast, precise, and visual process that can generate digital cross-sections automatically and efficiently through multi-source topographic and geologic data.
Analysis of tectonothermal history of the Yanchang Formation in the western Weibei Uplift and in the northwestern Weihe Basin can reconstruct the cooling history of the southwest most remained Upper Triassic source rock of the North China Plate. Apatite fission-track (AFT) and (U-Th-Sm)/He (AHe) analysis were used to recover the cooling and uplift history of the Upper Triassic here. Ten sandstones from the Middle-Upper Triassic strata yield AFT ages between 179.8 ± 7.4 and 127.6 ± 8.1 Ma. AHe ages of two sandstones have the value of 37.7 ± 2.3–131.1 ± 8.1 and 45.7 ± 2.8–83.5 ± 5.2 Ma. Time-temperature modeling results showed that tectonothermal history of the Yanchang Formation was initially different in time-space relationships but then became almost identical through time followed by different cooling rate. Modeling results of the Triassic strata in the Qianyang area and the Yaojiagou area revealed three different uplift-cooling stages commencing in the Late Jurassic at ∼165 Ma and in Early Cretaceous at ∼110 Ma, respectively, both followed by first similar cooling histories to the Early Miocene at ∼20–23 Ma and then different since the Late Miocene. Uplift-cooling rate since the Late Miocene at ∼8 Ma were different between the Western Weibei Uplift and the Northwestern Weihe Basin. The timing, cooling-uplift rates of the Yaojiagou area, which was mainly controlled by movements related to the Liupanshan Mountains, the Qinling Orogens and the Weibei Uplift, had the earliest onset of uplift-cooling for the Upper Triassic series compared to other regions within the Weibei Uplift. Cooling paths for the Upper Triassic series became uniform regionally in the Early Cretaceous marking a key time for the tectonothermal evolutionary history of Upper Triassic series in the southwestern North China Plate.

Jiurui ore concentration area is an important part of the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River metallogenic belt.The study area of Pengshan polymetallic ore field is located in the south of Jiurui ore concentration area, which is rich in mineral resources, but the structural pattern is controversial.In this paper, based on the comprehensive analysis of geological and geophysical characteristics, it is proposed that Pengshan ore field is controlled by the structure of magmatic core complex, and the core of Pengshan magmatic core complex upheaval-detachment structure is composed of elliptical granitoid intrusive rock mass, which was a hidden uplift in the middle Yanshanian period and was shaped in the late Yanshanian period.The peripheral shallow sedimentary rocks are in a domed zonal distribution around the magmatic core complex.The peripheral fault zone tends to deviate from the direction of magmatic core complex and shows a shovel distribution, indicating the detachment structure characteristics.The halo type ore belt types of Pengshan ore field, with the concealed granitic body in the core as the center, the change of high temperature ore to low temperature ore occurs in the surrounding, such as arsenite(arsenopyrite)-tin ore-lead-zinc ore-fluorite ore-barite ore and so on, which is also the result of mineral enrichment along the multi-level detachment faults, and the mineralization occurs in the inner and outer contact zone of the magmatic core complex, forming skarn type, porphyry type and hydrothermal vein type Sn-Pb-Zn polymetallic deposits in the structural relaxation stage.

Gold deposits are closely related to accretionary processes. Gold mineralization in eastern China, however, is usually > 100 Ma younger than associated collisional orogeny and partly controlled by extensional tectonics. Being controlled by interbedded detachment faults, the Luyuangou hydrothermal deposit is a typical mineralization under extensional tectonic. We present mineral deposit geology, tectonic geology, LA‐ICP MS zircon U–Pb age data, and Sr‐Nd‐Hf isotopic data for the Luyuangou ore vein and porphyritic dyke, with the aim of elucidating the metallogenesis. The morphological features and ages of zircons from the Luyuangou auriferous lode are similar to the anatectic zircons from migmatite within the Qinling Group (a metamorphic complex unit) of the North Qinling Terrane, indicating that the North Qinling Terrane may be one of the provenances. Although the major age peak of 453 ± 13 Ma (MSWD = 3.3, N = 12) cannot constrain the exact metallogenic timing, the data imply a possible link between the Luyuangou metallization and the North Qinling Terrane. Meanwhile, the weighted‐mean age of post‐ore porphyritic dyke postdates the Luyuangou gold mineralization at 121.1 ± 1.5 Ma (MSWD = 0.21, N = 14). The Sr‐Nd‐Hf isotopes of the Luyuangou auriferous lodes and post‐ore porphyritic dyke exhibit prominent differences from those of the Taihua Group and Xiong'er Group and are similar to those of the Qinling Group, implying that the Qinling Group is likely the main ore‐forming provenance of the Luyuangou gold deposit. The S‐Pb isotopes of the main mineralization stage of the Luyuangou gold deposit indicate a distinct deep‐seated source. According to comprehensive analysis, it is proposed that, during the early Mesozoic, the large‐scale continental collision between the Yangtze and the North China Craton involved the underthrusting of the North Qinling Terrane beneath the North China Craton that led to intracontinental folding, thrusting, and thickening without inducing extensive mineralization or magmatic activity. During the late Mesozoic, the subduction of the Pacific Plate induced the instability of the thickened continental crust and the development of the regional extensional structures, large‐scale crust–mantle magmatism as well as deep‐seated or mantle‐derived fluids dissolving materials from the Qinling Group that precipitated at the interbedded detachment faults.
The relationship between collision orogeny and post‐orogeny tectonism remains to be a weakness of the present orogenic belt research. An E—W‐trending ductile shear zone exposed along the Bogda Mountain of the Eastern Tianshan Orogenic Belt (ETOB) has spatiotemporal correlation with the Kelameili ophiolite belt and offers important evidence for research on the evolution of the ETOB. These ductile shear belts exposed in the eastern Sa'erqiaoke display that the low greenschist facies metamorphism was followed by north‐eastward thrusting and sinistral strike‐slip shearing. LA‐ICP MS zircon U–Pb ages of the mylonitic quartz schist in Sa'erqiaoke structure section range from 226 to 1458 Ma, four old zircons with ages of 832.2, 1029.2, 1240.5, and 1458.2 Ma possess round‐shaped grains and core–mantle texture, which suggest that its protolith has a detritic and metamorphic origin. The major age peak ranges from 443.3 to 466.8 Ma, with weighted age of 452.9 ± 5.4 (MSWD = 0.62, N = 13), corresponding to the early Palaeozoic Harlic island arc magmatism. Two young metamorphic zircons with ages of 247.2 and 226 Ma could represent the time of ductile shearing, which are consistent with the final termination of the ETOB. Two weighted ages of 303.8 ± 3.4 (MSWD = 0.12, N = 16) and 305.2 ± 2.4 (MSWD = 0.46, N = 32) from Nawakuduke mylonitic belts are coeval with post‐collision A‐type granite of the Kelameili suture, which suggest that the ductile shearing should be later than the closure of the Kelameili Ocean. Based on the synthesis of voluminous evidences, we propose that the Kelameili Ocean, as part of the paleo‐Tianshan Ocean, obliquely subducted beneath the Junggar plate, bringing about the Bogda subduction‐torn‐type rift during the Carboniferous period. Although the final closure of the Kelameili Ocean has ended at late Carboniferous, the subsequent continental collision and large‐scale ductile shearing lasted until late Triassic.
A diversity of morphological structures of Au-bearing pyrites exists during the main metallogenic stage.These structures include the corrosion metasomatic,proliferation,directed modification,dissemination and veined types.The phenomenon that multiple morphological structures exist in sole metallogenic epoch indicates that the morphological structural classification and in-situ pyrite testing are desperately needed.The present study conducted research on these two topics based on macroscopic examinations.The results show that gold-bearing pyrites were the products of the pre-enrichment,the main-metallogenic and the postmetallogenic stages.All three periods embodied depositional characteristics that the pyrites were rich in S and poor in Fe,and rich in Ni and deficient in Co.In addition,post-metallogenic stage embodied the metamorphism superposition characteristics that the pyrites were rich in Fe and deficient in S.It is believed by a comprehensive study that the morphological,textural and constitutional typomorphism of pyrites indicate different origin and complex evolutionary process;these typomorphic characteristics can be significant in genesis discrimination,exploration and prospecting of gold deposits.

Based on 1/200 000 geochemical exploration data of northern Chifeng area and the theory of geochemical blocks,the authors have studied the characteristics of Pb geochemical block and Pb mineral resources, and identified two Pb geochemical blocks and six relatively small geochemical anomaly areas. Through analyzing the controlling factors of Pb geochemical blocks, the authors suggest that the contacting zone or outer contacting zone of Yanshanian intermediate-felsic intrusive rocks are the favorable locations for the blocks, and the Permian Huanggangliang and Dashizhai Formation, Jurassic Manitu and Xinmin Formation, and Upper Silurian Xingshuwa Formation are considered as the main strata for those blocks. The size of blocks is obviously controlled by NW-and NE-striking faults. By taking 1 000 m as the criterion, the total predicted mineral resource of Pb is 18.935 3 million tons in the study area. The study area was subdivided into nine Pb prospect areas, and three of them (No.1113-1, No.1411-1 and No.3111-1) are first-order areas.
