古新世—始新世界线的全球事件

深海钻探揭示的古新世－析世界线许多全球性变化引起了地质学家的普遍关注。这些变化表现在岩性，粘土矿物组合，大陆植物群，大陆哺乳动物，钙质超微化石，底栖有孔虫，氧碳同位素，大气环流强度，海洋环流模式，海平面等方面，通过对古新世－始新世地层沉积学、古生物学、古气候学和古海洋学的研究，确认古新世－始新世地层界线是全球构造事件的结果，表现为全球板块边界重组，扩张中心和转换断层模式改变，海底热液活动呈一至二个     

古新统─始新统界线与事件沉积

深海钻探揭示的古新统—始新统界线上许多全球性变化引起了地质学家的普遍关注。这些变化包括：岩性上从海绿石石英砂岩变化到粘土岩、粘土矿物组合从伊利石／蒙脱石为主变化为高岭石为主、大陆植物群的绝灭和迁移、钙质超微化石物种更新速度加快、底栖有孔虫绝灭和分异度降低、碳氧同位素强烈负异常、大陆哺乳动物演化发生变化、大气环流强度减弱、海洋环流模式改变、海平面上升、海底热液活动呈１～２个数量级加强。通过对古新世—始新世的地层沉积学、古生物学、古气候学和古海洋学研究，确认古新统—始新统地层界线是全球构造事件的结果，表现为全球板块边界重组、扩张中心和转换断层模式改变、海底热液活动呈１～２个数量级加强。     

喜马拉雅碰撞早期含有机碳地层的剥蚀和全球变暖

印度和亚洲大陆碰撞早期新特提斯被动与活动大陆边缘上海相沉积物中含有机碳地层的剥蚀和氧化，可能影响到新世至早始新世海相碳酸盐中碳同位素比率向轻的比率转化，并通过温室效应导致全球性变暖。碰撞时间的最新确定和喜马拉雅沉积物源中有机碳含量的降低，允许我们估计古新世纯有机碳的输出。我们的计算表明，大陆碰撞通过含有机碳地层的剥蚀和埋藏，在全球碳旋回和气候变化中起着重要作用。     

早古近纪陆相断陷型湖泊物质分异作用及其对“PETM”事件的响应:以济阳坳陷孔店组为例

古近纪早期,地球上发生了古新世-始新世极热气候(PETM)事件,严重影响全球碳循环过程和海陆生态环境系统.依据普通薄片、元素分析、碳同位素、TOC等实验结果.研究了渤海湾盆地济阳断陷湖盆古新世-始新世时期的湖泊环境时空波动变化及其对PETM事件的响应,发现济阳断陷湖盆早期经历了多旋回的演化过程,湖盆中碎屑物质和化学物质的分异作用同时发生,陆地风化作用和化学沉积物质分异指示了极热气候的变化过程;该时期湖水为逐渐咸化的盐湖环境,具有空间的分带性和时间的阶段演化性,湖水咸化是热气候事件发生的直接响应;湖泊的时空波动演化经历了古新世-始新世时期的极热气候(PETM)事件,该事件早期湖泊尚未完全咸化,浮游生物比较繁盛,早期浮游植物对12CO₂的吸收,会导致短暂的湖泊古生产力较高,但是随着湖盆逐渐咸化,生物的活动存活较难,主要以旱生植物为主,古生产力降到最低.由于过量的12C吸收沉淀,造成湖泊沉积记录中的δ13C明显负偏,最大可达5×10-3.由此证实全球PETM事件影响了古新世-始新世之交济阳断陷湖盆的时空演化和物质分异过程.      

云南金顶超大型铅锌矿床的成矿地质背景

采用构造－沉积综合分析的方法，研究了金顶超大型铅锌矿床成矿的盆地、构造和深部地质背景。研究表明，控矿的古新世－中始新世盆地为走滑拉张盆地，研究区先后经历了古新世－中始新世早期的走滑和拉伸，中始新世－渐新世的挤压推覆和中新世的隆升和走滑，分析了盆地演化、沉积体系、同生断裂活动和逆冲推覆等对金顶超大型铅锌矿床的控制作用，探讨了可能的成矿过程。     

藏南桑单林地区晚白垩世—始新世砂岩物源区分析

西藏南部桑单林地区出露一套晚白垩世-始新世深水沉积的地层,下部为晚白垩世以石英砂岩和粉砂质页岩为主的桑单林组,上部为始新世含长石岩屑砂岩、硅质岩和硅质页岩的者雅组,由于断层错断,二者之间的古新世地层缺失.砂岩的岩石学分析表明,桑单林组石英砂岩的成分成熟度和结构成熟度均较高,杂基含量少,为硅质胶结;者雅组长石岩屑砂岩中,不稳定组分明显增加,杂基含量高,主要为泥质胶结.运用重矿物组合以及全岩主量元素、微量元素和稀土元素组成对砂岩的物源区分析表明,桑单林组砂岩形成于稳定的被动大陆边缘,碎屑物质来源于印度克拉通内部,而者雅组砂岩中存在明显的火成岩物质的输入,这些火山物质只可能来自于沉积盆地北部.桑单林组和者雅组砂岩的物源区的明显变化,反映了古新世末期-早始新世的一次碰撞事件:印度大陆与亚洲大陆的碰撞或者印度大陆与洋内岛弧的碰撞.     

古新世-始新世极热事件研究进展

古新世-始新世极热事件(PETM事件)是发生在早新生代的一次极端碳循环扰动和全球变暖事件,主要表现为大气CO2浓度快速增加和全球增温.研究显示该时期全球地表温度增加了5～6℃,高低纬度间温度梯度减小,同时伴随有水循环加快及大规模生物灭绝、演替和迁徙现象.据估算,PETM时期从地层释放到表生系统的CO2总量同预期人类过去...     

西藏岗巴古新世地层及构造作用的影响

西藏岗巴地区出露有完整的晚白垩世至古近纪地层，地层中化石丰富，根据化石研究准确地进行了地层时代的划分，本文认为该区白垩系－古代系界线位于宗山组和基堵拉组之间，以底栖有大孔虫Orbitoides-Omphalocyclus动物群的消亡和Rotalia-Smoutina-Lockhartia动物群的始现为标志。界线上下岩层为假整合接触，期间有一短暂的暴露面。古新世的砂砾岩直接覆于晚白晋世的陆棚碳酸盐岩沉积之上，沉积的重大转变代表一次构造运动，印度大陆北缘与冈底斯南缘直至白垩纪末均具有明显的浅海生物地理分区现象，期间被深海盆地地所阻隔。古新世开始浅海相动物群在该地显示同一生物地理区系特征，说明两大陆间深水盆地的阻隔已消失，南北生物地理区同归于一残留海盆，沉积类型转变和地层古生物特征为印度－亚洲板块的起始碰撞时间研究提供了基础资料，据此推测大陆早期碰撞发生在白晋系－古近系的界线时期（约65Ma)，古新世中一晚期碳酸盐台地遭受不断的挤压与变形，进一步说明大陆的碰撞在古新世之初就已发生。沉积地层的破碎变形和滑塌堆积是持续碰撞与挤压的结果。     

塔里木盆地新生代海相沉积问题

基于前人文献,对塔里木盆地新生代海相沉积问题进行梳理,进而探讨该盆地新生代海侵的次数和范围以及海退的时限、原因。研究表明,新生代,塔里木盆地至少经历古近纪的阿尔塔什晚期至齐姆根早期(古新世早期至古新世晚期)、卡拉塔尔期—乌拉根期(始新世中期)、巴什布拉克中期(始新世晚期至早渐新世)等三期海侵;塔里木盆地中新世仍有海相地层这一认识获得广泛认可仍需更多的地质证据来支持。塔里木盆地海侵范围在卡拉塔尔—乌拉根组沉积时期达到最大,向东可达玛扎塔格地区,在盆地北缘和南缘分别可以到达库尔勒以东地区和洛浦县阿其克以东地区。由于受到全球海平面变化和构造运动的共同影响,副特提斯海新生代从塔里木盆地退却的沉积记录包括齐姆根组顶部、乌拉根组顶部、巴什布拉克组第四段和第五段,时间上分别对应于古新世晚期、始新世中晚期和早渐新世。     

古新世/始新世全球增温在西藏岗巴地区的表现

随着深海钻探计划(DSDP)和大洋钻探计划(ODP)的开展,在古海洋学领域取得了许多重大发现。古近纪古新世与始新世(P/E)界线间的地质事件的发现便是其重要成果之一。西藏南部岗巴地区发育有良好的海相界线地层。对生物群、碳、氧、锶稳定同位素以及磁化率的研究显示,全球界线事件在西藏南部岗巴地区具有明显的影响。古新统宗浦组顶部底栖有孔虫动物群阶段性绝灭,总灭绝率为69%。始新统遮普惹组底部有孔虫逐渐复苏,除12种为古新世的残存类型外,始新世生物组合全为新的属种,并呈现三个复苏阶段。碳稳定同位素表现为三期负向偏移,在界线处出现-4‰的异常。这一异常与全球碳稳定同位素事件表现一致。锶同位素在界线位置没有明显的变化,而明显的峰值出现在界线之上,并与全球53Ma出现的锶同位素变化相对应。磁化率在界线之上2m处出现一个很明显的波动,与第3期碳同位素异常吻合。所有研究结果表明,西藏南部(特提斯-喜马拉雅低纬度浅海环境)在古新世与始新世界线时期出现明显的气候变化,说明全球深海温度增高在浅海环境具有相同表现,只是影响时间较长。     

The terrestrial fauna of the Late Triassic Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry fissures,South Wales,UK and a new species of Clevosaurus (Lepidosauria: Rhynchocephalia)

Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry in South Wales yielded a rich cache of fossils in the early 1950s, including articulated specimens of new species (the small sauropodomorph dinosaur Pantydraco caducus and the crocodylomorph Terrestrisuchus gracilis), but no substantial study of the wider fauna of the Pant-y-ffynnon fissure systems has been published. Here, our overview of existing specimens, a few described but mostly undescribed, as well as freshly processed material, provides a comprehensive picture of the Pant-y-ffynnon palaeo-island of the Late Triassic. This was an island with a relatively impoverished fauna dominated by small clevosaurs (rhynchocephalians), including a new species, Clevosaurus cambrica, described here from a partially articulated specimen and isolated bones. The new species has a dental morphology that is intermediate between the Late Triassic Clevosaurus hudsoni, from Cromhall Quarry to the east, and the younger C. convallis from Pant Quarry to the west, suggesting adaptive radiation of clevosaurs in the palaeo-archipelago. The larger reptiles on the palaeo-island do not exceed 1.5?m in length, including a small carnivorous crocodylomorph, Terrestrisuchus, and a possible example of insular dwarfism in the basal dinosaur Pantydraco.     

Définition d'une limite multicritère ; stratigraphie du passage Campanien–Maastrichtien du site géologique de Tercis (Landes,SW France)Definition of a multi-criteria boundary; stratigraphy of the Campanian–Maastrichtian interval of the geological site at Tercis (Landes,SW France)

Lithostratigraphy, physicochemical stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, and geochronology of the 77–70 Ma old series bracketing the Campanian–Maastrichtian boundary have been investigated by 70 experts. For the first time, direct relationships between macro- and microfossils have been established, as well as direct and indirect relationships between chemo-physical and biostratigraphical tools. A combination of criteria for selecting the boundary level, duration estimates, uncertainties on durations and on the location of biohorizons have been considered; new chronostratigraphic units are proposed. The geological site at Tercis is accepted by the Commission on Stratigraphy as the international reference for the stratigraphy of the studied interval. To cite this article: G.S. Odin, C. R.

The effect of water on accessory phase solubility in subaluminous and peralkaline granitic melts

The solubilities of columbite, tantalite, wolframite, rutile, zircon and hafnon were determined as a function of the water contents in peralkaline and subaluminous granite melts. All experiments were conducted at 1035 °C and 2 kbar and the water contents of the melts ranged from nominally dry to approximately 6 wt.% H₂O. Accessory phase solubilities are not affected by the water content of the peralkaline melt. By contrast, solubilities are affected by the water content of the subaluminous melt, where the solubilities of all the accessory phases examined increase with the water content of the melt, up to 2 wt.% H₂O. At higher water contents, solubilities are nearly constant. It can be concluded that water is not an important control of accessory phase solubility, although the water content will affect diffusivities of components in the melt, thus whether or not accessory phases will be present as restite material. The solubility behaviour in the subaluminous and peralkaline melts supports previous spectroscopic studies, which have observed differences in the coordination of high field strength elements in dry vs. wet subaluminous granitic glasses, but not for peralkaline granitic glasses. Lastly, the fact that wolframite solubility increases with increasing water content in the subaluminous melt suggests that tungsten dissolved as a hexavalent species.     

Late Wuchiapingian (Late Dzhulfian,early Late Permian) limestone olistolites within the Tertiary flysch of Glypia Unit (Mount Parnon,central–eastern Peloponnesus,Greece)

Some olistolites reworked in a Tertiary flysch of Mount Parnon (Peloponnesus, Greece) exhibit a Late Permian assemblage, dominated by Paradunbarula (Shindella) shindensis, Hemigordiopsis cf. luquensis and Colaniella aff. minima. This association corresponds to the Late Wuchiapingian (=Late Dzhulfian), a substage whose algae and foraminifera are generally little known. Contemporaneous limestones crop out in the middle part of the Episkopi Formation in Hydra, but they are rather commonly reworked in Mesozoic and Cainozoic sequences. The palaeobiogeographical affinities shared by the foraminiferal markers of Greece, southeastern Pamir, and southern China, are very strong (up to the specific level), and are congruent with the Pangea B reconstructions.
