Fibrillar Veins, Reverse-Axis Tensile Vein, Cone-In-Cone Structure, Genesis MechanismAbstract
Fibrous layered veins often appear in shale and carbonate formations. The formation mechanism and the formation of cone-shaped structures in them are of great significance to the diagenetic sedimentary environment of surrounding rocks and the geological history of surrounding rocks. In the past, scholars generally used the fracture closure mechanism to explain the formation process of fibrous veins. However, with the discovery of anti-axial tensile veins, the fracture mechanism cannot fully explain its causes. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the formation mechanism of fibrous veins. Based on previous studies, this paper collected and analyzed the literature related to fibrous veins, and comprehensively described and analyzed the research status, crystal structure classification, material migration mechanism and different genetic interpretation types. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the formation mechanism of different types of fibrous veins. It also provides an important reference value for understanding the origin and evolution process of fibrous veins and cone-in-cone structures in the formation. At the same time, this paper summarizes and analyzes that the crystal morphology of many fibrous veins cannot be explained by the classical crystal growth theory. Some recent studies have also shown that veins can be formed without rupture. Under the mechanism of diffusion and mass transfer, crystal growth forces the separation of surrounding rock and may form unruptured veins.
