摘　　要：本文根据四次南极考察所取资料,对西南极乔治王岛菲尔德斯半岛长城站地区第三纪火山岩进行了全面和系统的总结,在火山岩地层的划分、岩相学和矿物学特点、岩浆的生成演化等问题上提出了新的认识。 长城站所在的菲尔德斯半岛出露有一套层状的熔岩、火山碎屑岩和火山碎屑沉积岩,是第三纪岛弧火山作用的产物。长城组包括碧玉山段和玛瑙滩段,由熔岩和正常火山碎屑岩组成,同位素年龄测定证明其形成于古新世至始新世。化石组主要形成于渐新世,其下部化石山段的含有植物化石的火山碎屑沉积岩不整合在玛瑙滩段岩层之上,上部的岩块山段以集块熔岩、角砾熔岩为主体,火山活动可能持续到了中新世早期。整个半岛的火山活动有两个高潮,两次较强烈的火山作用之间是较长的喷发间断,造成半岛岩石被风化剥蚀和火山碎屑沉积岩的出现。次火山岩以岩颈、岩墙、岩脉和规模较小的岩株等形式产出,并受到古火山机构和基底断裂的控制,沿着北西西-南东东的方向有规律地分布。从火山喷发中心和火山岩分布特点分析,该区火山活动有从西向东逐渐迁移的趋势。 熔岩以高铝玄武岩和玄武安山岩为主,安山岩、英安岩数量较少。斜长石和普通辉石是最主要的造岩矿物。高铝玄武岩和玄武安山岩中斜长石斑晶的核部往往为倍长石或钙长石,边缘成份与?This paper deals systematicaly with the volcanic geology, the petrological characteristics and the formation and evolution of the Tertiary volcanic rocks from the Fildes Peninsula, King George Island, West Antarctica, in basis of the great amount of feild investigations and laboratory works by Chinese geologists since 1984, when the Great Wall Station had been build up. The Tertiary volcanic rocks in Fildes Peninsula has been subdevided into 2 litho-stratigraphic formations, the Great Wall Formation and the Fossil Formation, and 4 members by authors considering the geological, isotope chronological and petrological evidences. The Great Wall Formation (GWF) including Jasper Hill Member (JM) and Agate Beach Member (AM) consists of mainly lavas and breccias. At the lower part of the JHM some agglomerates have been found that shows the beginning of the first stage of the volcanic activity. The Fossil Formation (FF) composes of two members also. The Fossil Hill Member (FM) is of tuffaceous sandstone, conglomerate, plant-bearing tuffaceous, siltstone and tuffaceous mudstone. The upper member of FF is Block Hill Member (BM) with agglomerate, breccia and some lavas. The following facts can be considered as the evidences to subdivided the Tertiary volcanic strata in Fildes Peninsula. 1. The unconformity between the strata of AM and that of FM shows that there was a long time break of the volcanic activities in the peninsula. 2. The plant fossils found in tuffaceous siltstone of FM indicate that the eruptive gap between AM and FM persisted a long period. 3. The results of researches on plant fossils, spores and pollens fully prove that FM was formed in early Tertiary, most probablely in Eocene to Oligocene. 4. The isotope chronological data basically suggested that the volcanic rocks on the Fildes peninsula as a whole to be Tertiary. However, the age ranges of GWF are Paleocene to Oligocene and the FF from Eocene to the early Miocene. The eruptive centers in th
