崂山花岗岩大型气泡状晶洞的发现及意义
DISCOVERY OF LARGE BUBBLE-LIKE MIAROLITIC GRANITES IN LAOSHAN AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE
-
摘要: 近年来,在崂山A型花岗岩中发现了一些大型气泡状晶洞,最大的直径可达3.1 m,远超过以往报道过的花岗岩晶洞。这一发现,不仅对研究崂山花岗岩形成的原生环境有重要意义,而且也揭示了崂山花岗岩"天然石臼"的真正成因。同时,从洞穴学角度也肯定了一种新的洞穴类型的存在。花岗岩大型气泡状晶洞是珍稀的地质遗迹,具有较高的观赏和旅游价值,应加以保护。Abstract: Recently, some large bubble-like miarolitic caves in an A-type granite of the Laoshan Mountain have been discovered. The largest cave is up to 3.1 m in diameter, far exceeding the granitic miarolitic caves previously reported. The discovery is helpful to the study of the original environment of the Laoshan granite and to the genetic interpretation of the micro-landform of "natural-mortar" there. The existence of a new genetic type-"bubble-like miarolitic caves" in speleology is also confirmed by this discovery. Such large bubble-like miarolitic caves are rarely observed in geological records. It has ornamental, scientific and tourism value.
