摘要: 柴达木盆地中部西台吉乃尔盐湖成因及其年代框架还存在争议。通过应用光释光测年法(OSL)和放射性碳测年法(AMS14C)测定两支分别来自该盐湖中部及东部边缘区域的岩芯,获得4个OSL和5个AMS14C年代数据。结果表明:(1) 对于老于30 ka的样品放射性碳测年法存在明显的年代低估,而对于年轻样品则存在约4.0 ka的碳库效应,相对而言光释光测年方法具有一定的合理性。(2) 两支岩芯顶部粉砂质粘土层形成于约0.3 ka,中部含粉砂质粘土盐层形成于大约4.0 ka,底部粉砂质粘土层则至少形成于70 ka 之前。

Abstract: The Xitaijinair Salt Lake,located in the middle of the Qaidam Basin,Qinghai Province,China,is rich in resources of Li,K,B and Mg.For the tremendous economic value,previous studies mainly focused on the hydrology and hydrochemical characteristics of brine.However,the formation and evolution of the salt lake is still controversial and the chronology of the Xitaijinair Salt Lake is absent.In this paper,two cores from the middle and east edge of the salt lake were dated with the methods of Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) and radiocarbon dating (AMS14C),the condition experiments of OSL dating were conducted and the feasibility of the two methods was also discussed.The sedimentary sequence of the two cores showed that the sediments both in the top and bottom are dominated by silty clay,while the middle of the cores are dominated by halite with several layers of silty clay.The sedimentary facies also revealed that the Xitaijinair Salt Lake has been desalted at least twice.Based on 5 AMS14C and 4 OSL chronologies,the chronological framework of the Xitaijinair Salt Lake was preliminary discussed.In the middle of the cores,the OSL dating materials are scarce and only obtained AMS14C chronologies.Thus,we calculated the reservoir effect offset by comparing the OSL chronologies with AMS14C chronologies from the same layer.The ages of silty clay layer from the middle of the cores were obtained by deducting reservoir effect offset from the measured AMS14C ages.The results showed as follows: (1) In AMS14C dating method,samples older than 30 ka were obviously underestimated.While for the younger samples,a~4.0 ka reservoir effect offset was calculated by comparing with the OSL ages.Relatively,the OSL dating results are more reasonable.(2) In both of the two cores,the top silty clay layer was formed about 0.3 ka BP;the silty clay layer in the middle,about 4.0 ka BP,and the bottom silty clay layer,at least 70 ka BP.(3) It seems the Bagayawur anticline in the northeast of the salt lake controlled the formation of the basin,and the blind fault between the anticline and basin controlled the depth of the basin.However,more details are needed to reveal the specific process between the lake evolution and tectonic activity.
