.... Within the Shanxi, Taiyuan, and Benxi samples, group I includes the elements Hf, Zr, Cr, and Sc, influenced by the same terrigenous detrital input ( Figure 4B ). Group II, including Rb, Ga, Zn, Ta, Nb, U, and Th, mainly contains high field-strength elements, which are generally considered to be related...

... Economic Geology 2018 Economic Geology Sir: We congratulate Dai et al. (2017) for their paper that provides age constraints and a model for the origin of banded iron formation (BIF)-related high-grade magnetite ores within the Anshan-Benxi area of the North China craton. Significantly...

..., 2013 ). The Anshan-Benxi area is composed of the Archean Anshan Group and the Paleoproterozoic Liaohe Group. An unconformity separates the underlying Anshan Group from the overlying Liaohe Group, and they are both unconformably overlain by undeformed Palezoic and Cenozoic sediments ( Zhai...

... in the Anshan-Benxi Area, North China Craton” ( Dai et al., 2017 ), Sm-Nd-Fe-O isotope, mineralogical, and structural data were presented to interpret two-stage banded iron formation (BIF) deposition and a new genetic model for high-grade magnetite ores. The comments of Peng et al. (2018) on our paper chiefly...

... vegetational differences. Some Chinese authors have recently argued that the Benxi Flora is essentially Cathaysian in aspect ( Wu, 1988 ; Liu, Wang & Zhao, 2000 ). The Cathaysian Realm was originally taken to correspond to the Gigantopteris Flora of Halle (1927) found in the Shihhotze Group...

...Yong Li; Xiangdong Gao; Shangzhi Meng; Peng Wu; Xinlei Niu; Peng Qiao; Derek Elsworth ABSTRACT An integrated analysis of the petrographic characteristics and types and distribution of diagenetic alteration in the upper Paleozoic Benxi–Taiyuan, Shanxi, and Xiashihezi Formations provides insights...

... hosted in BIFs, with the largest being GII ( Li, H.M., et al., 2015a ). The GII is located about 40 km east of Anshan City in the Anshan-Benxi area ( Fig. 1B ). BIFs are hosted in stratiform sequences of the Anshan Group, which crops out as a NW-SE–trending (120°–160°) elongated enclave within...

... December, the Earthquake Office presented a group-discussion conclusion to the rcl (2 – 11) that predicted a possible earthquake of about M 5 in the Liaoyang- Benxi area ( Fig. 4 ) by 5 January 1975, based on continuing earthquake activity in that area, radon and tilt anomalies in the Panjin...

The fossil plant assemblages represent the Benxi (formerly Penxi; see Cleal & Wang 2002 ), Taiyuan, Shanxi (formerly Shansi), and Lower and Upper Shihhotse (formerly Shihezi) Formations that span a range of depositional environments...

.... The TTGs can be subdivided into a high-Ca group and a low-Ca group: The 2.71–2.68 Ga high-Ca group TTG magma originated from partial melting of subducted juvenile oceanic crust, and the low-Ca group TTG magma was derived from fractionation crystallization of the high-Ca group TTG magma. The chemical...

GEOLOGICAL SETTING The Nanfen Formation is well exposed in the Benxi region of eastern Liaoning Province, NE of the North China Craton, and our study focuses on three drill cores from this region. The formation belongs to the Xihe Group, which contains the Diaoyutai, Nanfen...

... of the Anshan Group, the Anshan unit, is characterized by an upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies metamorphic grade and is dominated by ~2530 Ma BIFs (e.g., Xi’anshan, Dong’anshan, and Qidashan), siliciclastic metasedimentary rocks, and minor metavolcanic rocks ( Zhou, 1994 ). By contrast, the Benxi...
