黄河中游三趾马红粘土的岩石学研究及古气候意义——以陕西府谷老高川三趾马红粘土剖面为例

将岩石学研究方法引入三趾马红粘土研究中,利用薄片系统观察、电镜扫描、Ｘ－射线衍射、粒度分析及化学分析手段,对红粘土的岩石学、微结构及形态学进行较为细致的研究。结果表明,各粘土层下部的沉淀层系成壤过程中钙质从上部土壤中淋滤并向下迁移再沉淀的结果。土壤中粘化层的光性定向粘粒及淀积铁质粘胶膜的发育程度受古气候及淋滤作用强度的控制。红粘土形成过程中主要为干旱、半干旱－半湿润气候的草原疏林环境,也有湿润气候的森林环境出现。府谷老高川三趾马红粘土剖面记录了四个大的气候旋回     

陕西北部三趾马红粘土的形成环境

多种地质资料表明,陕西北部的三趾马红粘土主体形成于半干旱草原疏林环境中。5.3 Ma B.P左右所对应地层记录了半湿润森林景观。红粘土形成期间古气候周期性波动是其重要特征之一,使得淋溶粘土层与钙质淀积结核层交替出现。化石埋藏特点与含化石岩性的差别显示了不同层位有着不同的沉积环境。气候干湿、冷暖的交替不断改变着本区动植物的面貌。

陕西府谷王大夫梁三趾马红粘土剖面中成土碳酸盐碳、氧稳定同位素分析及其变化曲线表明，三趾马红粘土形成于半干旱到半湿润气候条件下，且已出现类似于黄土中古季风特征的干热－温湿的旋回性变化，并在晚期有周期缩短、幅度加强的趋势．结合地层中的物质组成及古哺乳动物群性质的变化，陕西北部新第三纪晚期古气候经历了干热－温湿－干热的演化历史，植被以草原疏林为主，气候适宜期曾出现半湿润森林景观     

灵台黄土-红粘土序列的磁性地层及粒度记录

甘肃灵台县任家坡黄土－红粘土剖面的磁性地层学研究表明;中国北方连续的风成堆积可下推到705MdB．P。第三纪红粘土的粒度组成从上到下变化很小,与黄土－古土壤序列的粒度大幅度变化形成强烈的反差,意味着晚第三纪时期的气候总体上要比第四纪时期稳定。在705～2．6MaB．P．的红粘土沉积中,可分出的110～115个土壤B层与钙质结核层的组合,初步表明在这个时期有约110～115次气候旋回。     

贵阳地区碳酸盐岩风化红粘土剖面稀土、微量元素分布特征

碳酸盐岩风化形成的红粘土保存着喀斯特发展演化历史证据,同时也是喀斯特地区土壤研究重要对象。通过对西南喀斯特发育中心部位的贵阳市碳酸盐岩风化形成的红粘土剖面的结构、稀土、微量元素分布特征研究,提出红粘土层可划分为：下层为暗褐色—褐色粘土层,上层为黄色、黄褐色、紫红色粘土层。下层暗褐色—褐色粘土层具有较高的稀土、微量元素含量;上层黄色、黄褐色、紫红色粘土层稀土、微量元素含量较低。下部暗褐色—褐色粘土层中,特别是红粘土层最底部,Be、 Sr、 Nd、 Sm 等元素超常富集,表明上部元素大量向底部迁移富集,元素发生广泛的混合。因此,利用Be、 Sr、 Nd、 Sm、Pb等同位素研究红粘土年代学是非常困难的。同时,提出下部暗褐色—褐色粘土层超富集重金属、放射性元素U、 Th、Rn等,其对环境有一定的污染,在城市建设时应该加强处理。     

风成三趾马红土与第四纪黄土的粘土矿物组成异同及其环境意义

文章基于X射线衍射、热分析和理化分析,对西峰三趾马红土的粘土矿物组成进行较系统研究,并与上覆第四纪黄土和古土壤样品进行对比.结果表明,二者的粘土矿物类型相似,以伊利石为主,其次是绿泥石、蒙脱石和高岭石; 但伊利石结晶度明显低于第四纪黄土,而与发育较好的第四纪古土壤(如S4和S5)相当; 三趾马红土中的粘土矿物组成主要为碎屑成因,成壤作用只对伊利石结晶度有明显影响.根据现代土壤粘土矿物地带性分布规律,三趾马红土的粘土矿物组合指示了大约6Ma以来,我国北方黄土高原地区一直处于温带半湿润-半干润的环境条件下,以后的气候主要在此范围内波动.但伊利石结晶度的变化指示了晚中新世-上新世总体比第四纪较高的风化成壤强度,体现了较强的夏季风效应.     

黄土高原黄土和红粘土~(10)Be地球化学特征

充分认识元素和同位素在不同环境条件下的地球化学行为,是运用元素和同位素示踪环境变化的前提。对来自于黄土高原的黄土、古土壤和红粘土样品的宇宙成因核素10Be测量和化学成分分析,以及各种化学淋溶实验表明：10Be主要以吸附状态赋存于粉尘沉积物粘粒矿物的表面,部分已结合进自生的粘土矿物中;在粉尘沉积物风化过程中10BC与9Be和Al的活动性相似,基本没有发生迁移,其原因是连续沉积的粉尘含有大量的碱性物质,阻止了10Be的解吸附和淋滤;沉积和风化作用导致了10Be浓度与化学指标在黄土－古土壤和红粘土剖面中的协同变化。     

三趾马红土中光性方位定向的粘土膜的发现及其意义

作者通过镜下观察,在三趾马红土中发现了较丰富的光性方位定向的粘土膜。它主要呈流胶状分布在裂隙内。光性方位定向的粘土膜是淋溶较强的森林土壤的特征。由此推断,三趾马红土经历了成壤作用,属于一种古土壤;成壤过程中有森林植被和温暖湿润气候出现。同时反映出该红土主要形成于水上环境。     

Paleoclimate Changes during the Early Oiigocene in the Hoh Xil Region, Northern Tibetan Plateau

Sedimentological, cyclic-stratigraphic, paleomagnetic, and clay-mineralogical studies on the early Oligocene Yaxicuo Group in the Hoh Xil Basin, the largest Cenozoic sedimentary basin in the hinterland of the Tibetan Plateau, provide abundant information of paleoclimate changes. A 350-m thick section in the middle-lower Yaxicuo Group was analyzed to reveal the climatic history that occurred in the Hoh Xil region during the early Oligocene interval 31.30-30.35 Ma, dated with the paleomagnetic chronostratigraphy. The results indicate that add and cold climate dominated the Hoh Xil region during the early Oligocene in general, being related to the global cooling and drying events that occurred in the earliest Oligocene. Within this period, relatively warm and wet climate accompanied by strong tectonic activity occurred in the 31.05-30.75 Ma interval; while add and cold climate and relatively inactive tectonics occurred in the 31.30-31.05 and 30.75-30.35 Ma intervals. Furthermore, spectral analyses of high-temporal resolution paleoclimatic records show orbital periods including eccentricity, obliquity, and precession. It is concluded that paleoclimate changes during the early Oligocene in the Hoh Xil region were forced by both tectonic activity and orbital periods.     

Early Cretaceous Paleoclimate Characteristics of China: Clues from Continental Climate-indicative Sediments

The Cretaceous was one of the most remarkable ‘greenhouse' climate periods in geological history. Most of the reported studies of the Cretaceous paleoclimate are based upon marine sedimentary records. Large spatial scale paleoclimatic reconstruction, which has a higher time resolution based upon continental sediments in China, is rarely found. This study presents paleoclimate reconstruction for the six time periods of the Early Cretaceous in China by employing continental climate-indicative sediments, including calcareous deposits, coal, oil shale, gypsum, halite, desert sedimentary systems, ferruginous deposits and laterite, copper-bearing deposits, limestone and dolomite. Based on the distribution of the association of climate-indicative sediments and the influences of paleotopography and orogenic belts(or important structural belts) on climate, seven climatic zones have been identified: 1) a warm and humid zone; 2) a warm and humid-warm and arid zone; 3) a warm and arid zone; 4) an arid and hot zone; 5) the Tibet hot and humid zone; 6) a hot and arid-semiarid zone; and 7) a hot and humid-hot and arid one. It is found that the Early Cretaceous climatic zones of China were nearly latitudinally distributed from northwest to southeast. The aridhot climatic zone expanded in the Aptian, suggesting that a hotter and drier climate prevailed in later period of the Early Cretaceous. Conversely, the humid climatic zone expanded in the Albian, indicating that a wetter climate appeared at the end of the Early Cretaceous. The overall distribution pattern of the seven climatic zones indicates that a hot-warm and arid climate was predominant in China; this coincides with a global ‘greenhouse climate' background. However, palaeogeographic features and specific geologic events, such as the existence and disappearance of the eastern high plateau, and the uplift and denudation of Yinshan, Yanshan, Tianshan, Qinling and Dabie Mountains, led to distinctive regional climatic features of the Cretaceous in China.     

沉积物颜色和粘土矿物对库车坳陷第三纪气候变化的指示

库车坳陷第三纪连续的碎屑沉积,记录了丰富的古环境与古气候变化的信息。在详细的磁性地层年代学基础上,对库车坳陷北部第三系沉积剖面进行了系统的沉积物颜色测定和粘土矿物分析。结果表明,库车坳陷第三纪沉积物颜色变化与全球第三纪温度的变化有一致的趋势,随着全球气温的降低,沉积物的颜色的红色指数降低。粘土矿物的组合和含量变化在13 M a出现了一个转折,在此之前,库车坳陷泥岩样品中的粘土矿物组合为伊利石和绿泥石,指示干旱的气候环境。在13 M a之后,库车坳陷的粘土矿物组合变为蒙脱石、高岭石、绿泥石和伊利石,指示干冷与温湿交替的气候环境,与亚洲内陆季风气候加强相对应。由此,可以认为库车坳陷第三纪13M a的气候变化与青藏高原的隆升密切相关。     

古土壤干湿特征指示晚古生代气候演化

古土壤是地质历史时期气候变化的重要记录者,通过古土壤记录的信息,可以定性和定量重建深时古环境和古气候,为认识地质历史时期的各种地质事件提供依据。前人大多对特定区域展开古土壤研究,对全球性古土壤数据的整理和古气候、古环境研究相对较少。基于古土壤的干湿情况对古气候环境的指示作用,我们按照植物根迹、根系结构与根化石、黏土矿物以及古土壤的结构构造等依据,将前人报道的古生代（410~255 Ma）古土壤分为干旱古土壤和湿润古土壤两种类型。将古土壤干湿特征与其他气候敏感性沉积物进行对照,显示为干旱古土壤分布与钙质结核以及蒸发岩等指示干旱气候带的敏感性沉积物分布一致,湿润古土壤分布与高岭石、煤以及铝土矿等指示湿润气候带的敏感性沉积物分布一致。干旱古土壤大都分布在晚古生代中低纬度干旱地区;湿润古土壤大都分布在晚古生代赤道附近及中纬度湿润地区。通过以上分析认为,古土壤干湿特征可以作为一个新的气候敏感指标指示古气候环境,进而作为划分气候带的有力依据。

洛川黄土-红粘土序列铁氧化物组成及其古气候指示

对洛川黄土、古土壤和红粘土中磁性矿物组成、成因和相关系进行了研究。结果表明:黄土磁性矿物以风尘磁铁矿为主,少量的成土赤铁矿和成土磁赤铁矿;古土壤磁性矿物以成土磁赤铁矿为主,成土赤铁矿次之,少量的风尘磁铁矿和赤铁矿;红粘土磁性矿物以成土赤铁矿为主,风尘磁铁矿和成土磁赤铁矿次之,少量风尘赤铁矿。黄土、古土壤和红粘土磁性矿物组成差异,反映了其形成期不同的古气候特性以及不同气候条件下生物地球化学作用强度的差异。干冷的冰期,黄土弱成土作用形成了以粗颗粒的风尘磁铁矿核 赤铁矿边的磁化率载体。间冰期的温暖湿润的古气候最有利于生物活动,强烈生物活动导致古土壤中大量纳米超细磁赤铁矿/磁铁矿产生,形成以磁赤铁矿为主,风尘磁铁矿核 赤铁矿边为辅的磁化率载体。红粘土成壤期,强降雨强蒸发的长干短湿的高温炎热的古气候使得红粘土化学风化强烈,生物地球化学活动较弱,形成以磁铁矿核 赤铁矿边和磁赤铁矿核 赤铁矿边的磁化率载体。黄土、古土壤和红粘土磁性矿物组成、磁性矿物相关系是其形成期独特的古气候指示。

南雄盆地晚白垩世-古新世陆源沉积组份变化的古气候指示

利用陆源沉积中的碎屑组份(泥岩中的碎屑黏土矿物种类和砂岩中砂、粉砂碎屑类型)相对含量变化,对广东北部和江西南部的南雄盆地晚白垩世-古新世古气候进行了分析.结果显示,砂岩碎屑组份含量气候指数(长石/石英比,F/Q)介于0.02~0.14之间;(碎屑)黏土矿物组合主要以伊利石为主,平均79%;伊利石结晶度指数与化学指数分别为0.25~0.39、0.31~0.7.进一步分析表明,研究区这一时期以干旱气候为主,存在暖湿气候间断,古气候演化可分为三个阶段:晚白垩世马斯特里赫特期以干旱-半干旱性气候为主,古新世丹尼期早期转变为相对湿热或与干旱-半干旱气候交替,古新世丹尼期晚期恢复到半干旱性气候,但比第一阶段湿度可能稍有增加.这一总体干旱-半干旱气候格局及其变化总体与同期全球气候变化一致.     

辽西北票地区义县组古气候环境标志及其意义

Paleoclimatical significance of the paleosol levels occurring in the Miocene-Pleistocene stratigraphy of the Manonga-Wembere Valley inCentral Tanzania

Micromorphological characteristics of four paleosol levels of the Manonga - Wembere deposits in Central Tanzania indicate periods of wetter climate in the Pliocene than at present. The stratigraphy of the studied section shows a series of lacustrine calcareous clay sediments alternating with gravel, sand and silt. The sediments are believed to have been deposited in the Manonga - Wembere paleolake environment. Paleosols intercalate these sediments and were formed when stable landscapes developed on former lake beds during regression periods. Micromorphological features of the paleosols indicate strong clay illuviation of red to yellow typic clay coating and some Fe-Mn hydoxide hypocoatings in voids and channels. The groundmass consists of either an accumulation of bioturbated yellow to red clay coating fragments or an argillic red to yellow groundmass of clay mass. Such an illuviation and its associated groundmass is comparable to intense clay illuviation fronts that are found in present-day calcareous sediments of warm and wet climates. The paleosol levels therefore represent wetter climatic conditions than today in the area during the Lower Pliocene.
