青海格尔木三岔河组年龄测定与昆仑古湖发育

文章主要研究和讨论青海省格尔木市昆仑河第五级阶地的三岔河组河湖相沉积,特别是其上部的一套典型的湖相沉积。根据野牛沟和纳赤台西北两剖面三岔河组沉积样品的ESR和U系法年龄测定结果,三岔河组堆积于约355～95kaB.P.间,而被称为昆仑古湖的湖相沉积大致开始于约 200～160kaB.P.（ESR）或约150kaB.P.（U系）,结束于约 150～120kaB.P.（ESR）或约95kaB.P.（U系）左右,其中深湖时期约为190kaB.P.（ESR）或约110～100kaB.P.（U系）左右。此外,纳赤台东北昆仑河第三级阶地剖面上部的湖相沉积,则是约90(ESR)/72～25kaB.P.（U系）的末次冰期期间形成,可称为纳赤台古湖。根据昆仑古湖湖相沉积地层中的沉积构造和所发现的介形类化石,讨论了湖泊的沉积环境;根据区域对比,认为三岔河组发育于约355～95kaB.P.,而其中约120～95kaB.P.的末次间冰期的早中期则是昆仑古湖的发育时期与青藏高原的羌塘东湖等古大湖发育早期的最高湖面时期,而40～30kaB.P.的MIS3的后半段只是这些大湖分解过程中的一个阶段。

昆仑山口羌塘组湖相层的ESR年龄测定

昆仑山垭口盆地内被磁性地层学定为羌塘组的湖相层^[1～3]及其上覆冰碛物和冰水-冲积砾石层,被认为是西大滩断裂自西30km处左旋走滑位移至此^[1,4]形成的。因此,确定湖相层和冰碛物的形成时代对恢复青藏高原第四纪早期气候环境演变过程和昆仑山断裂左旋滑动速率均具有重要的意义。昆仑山垭口地区早更新世及以前的地层有惊仙谷组(>2.5MaB.P.)、羌塘组(2.5～0.7MaB.P.)和望昆冰碛层(0.7～0.6MaB.P.)。惊仙谷组地层由冲积扇沉积体系构成;而羌塘组则由湖泊和扇三角洲体系构成^[3];望昆冰碛层不整合覆盖在基岩、惊仙谷组和羌塘组之上,以含原产地在西大滩西

内蒙古中部金盆地区发现与冀北大店子组相当的地层

开展金盆地区1∶5万区域地质调查时,在内蒙古乌兰察布盟卓资县三道营乡黑山西坡老虎沟大青山组中首次发现了早白垩世化石:介形虫Cypridea ex gr.liaoningensis,Luanpingella sp.,Djungarica camarata,Clinocypris scolia,Rhinocypris echinta,Lycopterocypris infantilis,Darwinula contracta;叶肢介Neimongolestheria?sp.及瓣鳃类Ferganoconcha quadrata,F.jorekensis等。这套含化石的湖相地层的岩石特征、化石特征均与大青山组标准剖面不同,而与冀北大店子组的岩性组合、古生物特征均可对比。按照岩石地层单位的划分原则,这套含早白垩世化石的湖相地层不属于大青山组,应从大青山组中划分出来,代表阴山地区早白垩世早期的湖相沉积地层。金盆地区存在冀北滦平盆地的大店子组层位。     

老挝万象地区白垩系

作者对老挝万象地区进行了1∶10万区域地质调查。该地区白垩系为一套红色陆源碎屑沉积,形成于河流-湖泊环境,由新到老可划分为班塔拉组、班纳德组及普帕纳帕陶山组。地层中上部的双壳类属Trigonioides(Trigonioides)sinensis Gu et Ma-Plicatounio(Plicatounio)naktongensis Kobayashi et Suzuki动物群,下部的双壳类属Kore-anaia-Eonippononaia-Plicatounio-Peregrinoconcha动物群,介形类属Monosulcocypris-Cypridea组合,轮藻为早白垩世的标准化石。这3个组的岩石地层、生物地层及年代地层特征可与我国滇西地区的景星组、南新组及虎头寺组相对比。     

老挝万象地区的古近系

在老挝万象平原钾镁盐矿勘查中,将古近系划分为班塔博组、塔贡组。班塔博组属盐上盖层,为一套红色陆源碎屑沉积,形成于河流环境;塔贡组为含盐地层,由下部膏盐层、上部陆源碎屑岩组成3个明显的沉积旋回,属咸化潟湖沉积。古近系中所含介形虫属Sinocypris-Cypris(Cristocypris)-Parailyocypris组合,轮藻属Peckichara-Obtusochara组合。这2个组的岩石地层、生物地层及年代地层,可与我国滇西地区的勐野井组、等黑组相对比。这2个组南延至老挝北汕平原、沙湾拿吉平原后,岩石地层、生物地层、年代地层特征无明显变化。     

柴达木盆地新生代介形类动物群特征及环境意义

柴达木盆地新生代介形类动物群依其属种组成及埋葬学特征可区分为河流、滨湖沼泽、浅湖(0~12m)、半深湖(12~25m)和深湖(>25m)等多种组合。湖相介形类化石组合始见于始新世中期沉积的下干柴沟组下段上部,它们既不同于淡水湖介形类,也不同于湖介形类,而是典型的陆源半咸水—咸水湖介形类动物群;该组合的首次出现,是本区古近纪以来第一次大规模湖侵的标志。介形类动物群在柴达木盆地西部古近系中的纵向横向分布表明,在中、晚始新世(下干柴沟组上段—上干柴沟组下段沉积期)发生规模最大的湖侵,渐新世(上干柴沟组上段沉积期)的湖区虽仍继续向东扩大,但水体明显变浅,标志着湖侵已接近尾声。这一湖侵与邻区塔里木盆地西南始于古新世而结束于始新世末至渐新世初的古近纪海侵相比,发育时期大不相同,在起源上两者间应无因果关系。     

西藏纳木错第四纪湖相地层划分及纳木错群的建立

第四纪湖相地层剖面实测和水准仪测量表明,在西藏纳木错沿岸,发育有拔湖48m以下的6级湖岸阶地和拔湖48m以上最高至139.2m的高位湖相沉积。纳木错湖相或湖滨相沉积的铀系等时线年龄测定结果表明,高位湖相沉积形成于晚更新世早期,第六至第三级阶地则分别形成于晚更新世中期至晚期。14C法测年表明,第二和第一级阶地的形成时间介于13820～2350年间,属全新世。根据沉积相、岩相组合等特征,并结合同位素测年、微体古生物鉴定等资料,将该套地层命名为纳木错群,由上更新统干玛弄组和全新统扎弄淌组组成。     

老挝万象地区的侏罗系

为了解老挝万象含盐盆地的形成与演化历史,在老挝万象平原钾镁盐矿勘查项目中,对该地区进行了区域地质调查。老挝万象地区的侏罗系为一套夹少量碳酸盐岩的红色陆源碎屑沉积,由上到下可划分为班辛黑组、南舍组、南立组;该地层的介形类分属Gomphocythere-Darwinula组合、Darwinula sarytirmenensi-Darwinula magnca组合,叶肢介属滇南古渔乡叶肢介动物群,腹足类具中侏罗世陆生动物群特征;本区侏罗系为一套以湖泊沉积为主的河湖相沉积,构成一个完整的Ⅲ级层序,可划分出低水位体系域、湖侵体系域、凝缩期沉积及高水位体系域。这3个组的岩石地层、生物地层及年代地层特征,可与我国滇西地区的漾江组、花开左组相对比。     

Police, politics, and the right to the city

Space and spatiality have recently been at the core of debates concerning the political possibilities of the city. The arguments advanced in this paper might be seen as an attempt to contribute to these debates through a reflection on the spatiality of (in) justice, politics, and the right to the city. The case of French urban policy, with its focus on distressed urban areas, and the `suburban problem' in France are used as examples to make arguments more concrete.     

Isotopic systematics of He,Ar, S,Cu, Ni,Re, Os,Pb, U,Sm, Nd,Rb, Sr,Lu, and Hf in the rocks and ores of the Norilsk deposits

This paper reports the first results of a study of 11 isotope systems (³He/⁴He, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar, ³⁴S/³²S, ⁶⁵Cu/⁶³Cu, ⁶²Ni/⁶⁰Ni, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd, ^206–208Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, Hf–Nd, U–Pb, and Re–Os) in the rocks and ores of the Cu–Ni–PGE deposits of the Norilsk ore district. Almost all the results were obtained at the Center of Isotopic Research of the Karpinskii All-Russia Research Institute of Geology. The use of a number of independent genetic isotopic signatures and comprehensive isotopic knowledge provided a methodic basis for the interpretation of approximately 5000 isotopic analyses of various elements. The presence of materials from two sources, crust and mantle, was detected in the composition of the rocks and ores. The contribution of the crustal source is especially significant in the paleofluids (gas–liquid microinclusions) of the ore-forming medium. Crustal solutions were probably a transport medium during ore formation. Air argon is dominant in the ores, which indicates a connection between the paleofluids and the atmosphere. This suggests intense groundwater circulation during the crystallization of ore minerals. The age of the rocks and ores of the Norilsk deposits was determined. The stage of orebody formation is restricted to a narrow age interval of 250 ± 10 Ma. An isotopic criterion was proposed for the ore-bearing potential of mafic intrusions in the Norilsk–Taimyr region. It includes several interrelated isotopic ratios of various elements: He, Ar, S, and others.     

Influences of the unsaturated,saturated, and riparian zones on the transport of nitrate near the Merced River,California, USA

Transport and transformation of nitrate was evaluated along a 1-km groundwater transect from an almond orchard to the Merced River, California, USA, within an irrigated agricultural setting. As indicated by measurements of pore-water nitrate and modeling using the root zone water quality model, about 63% of the applied nitrogen was transported through a 6.5-m unsaturated zone. Transport times from recharge locations to the edge of a riparian zone ranged from approximately 6 months to greater than 100 years. This allowed for partial denitrification in horizons having mildly reducing conditions, and essentially no denitrification in horizons with oxidizing conditions. Transport times across a 50–100-m-wide riparian zone of less than a year to over 6 years and more strongly reducing conditions resulted in greater rates of denitrification. Isotopic measurements and concentrations of excess N₂ in water were indicative of denitrification with the highest rates below the Merced River. Discharge of water and nitrate into the river was dependent on gradients driven by irrigation or river stage. The results suggest that the assimilative capacity for nitrate of the groundwater system, and particularly the riverbed, is limiting the nitrate load to the Merced River in the study area.     

扬子北缘马元铅锌矿床闪锌矿微量元素及S-Pb-He-Ar-C同位素地球化学研究

马元铅锌矿床是近年扬子陆块北缘铅锌找矿的新突破。矿体呈层状、似层状产于碑坝隆起翼部震旦系灯影组角砾状白云岩层间构造带中,围岩蚀变很弱。矿石中硫化物以闪锌矿、方铅矿为主,中粗粒晶质结构,充填于白云岩角砾间。闪锌矿富集Cd、Ge、Ag,贫In、Tl、Se,Ga/In为6~132,Ge/In多1000,成矿温度以中-低温为主。金属硫化物ε~(34)S值相对集中,为12.9‰~19.4‰,平均为17.4‰,来自于海相硫酸盐的还原。铅同位素组成稳定,~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb为17.858~17.918:~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb为15.603~15.694;~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb为37.756~38.046,具有造山带和上地壳铅的特征,震旦系可能提供了金属成矿物质。闪锌矿中流体包裹体的~3He/~4He为0.03Ra~1.05Ra,~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar为326.1~765.1,~(38)Ar/~(36)Ar为0.183~0.204,表明成矿流体主要为地壳流体和饱和大气水(大气降水或海水)的混合。闪锌矿内流体包裹体挥发分δ~(13)C_(CH_4)值为-36.01‰~-28.80‰,δ~(13)C_(C_2H_6)值为-27.72‰~-22.44‰,δ~(13)C_(CO_2)值为-23.24‰~-9.68‰,表明有机流体参与了成矿作用。石英、方解石的H-O同位素结果表明具有海水和有机水混合的特征。可见,成矿流体具有两种流体混合的特征,一为蒸发海水与围岩反应所形成的盆地卤水,二为有机流体。推测矿区可能存在一个古油气藏,由于TSR生成一高硫气藏,为区内还原性有机流体的主要来源。当富含Pb、Zn等成矿物质的成矿流体运移至富含CH_4和H_2S的还原性流体的矿区角砾岩带时,两种流体混合,Pb、Zn等遇到H_2S发生反应而沉淀成矿,并伴生热液白云石等,形成了马元铅锌矿床。综上所述,我们认为马元矿床属MVT型铅锌矿床。     

Rb-Sr, K-Ar, H-and O-Isotope systematics of the Middle Riphean shales from the Debengda Formation, the Olenek Uplift, North Sibera

Clay subfractions (SFs) of <0.1, 0.1–0.2, 0.2–0.3, 0.3–0.6, 0.6–2 and 2–5 μm separated from Middle Riphean shales of the Debengda Formation are studied using the TEM, XRD, K-Ar and Rb-Sr isotopic methods. The oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions in the SFs are studied as well. The low-temperature illite-smectite is dominant mineral in all the SFs except for the coarsest ones. The XRD, chemical and isotopic data imply that two generations of authigenic illite-smectite different in age are mixed in the SFs. The illite crystallinity index decreases in parallel with size diminishing of clay particles. As compared to coarser SFs, illite of fine-grained subfractions is enriched in Al relative to Fe and Mg, contains more K, and reveals higher K/Rb and Rb/Sr ratios. The Rb-Sr age calculated by means of the leachochron (“inner isochron”) method declines gradually from 1254-1272 Ma in the coarsest SFs to 1038-1044 Ma in finest ones, while the K-Ar age decreases simultaneously from 1225–1240 to 1080 Ma. The established positive correlation of δ¹⁸O and δD values with dimensions of clay particles in the SFs seems to be also consistent with the mixing systematics. The isotopic systematics along with data on mineral composition and morphology lead to the conclusion that mixedlayer illite-smectite was formed in the Debengda shales during two periods 1211–1272 and 1038–1080 Ma ago. The first period is likely close to the deposition time of sediments and corresponds to events of burial catagenesis, whereas the second one is correlative with the regional uplift and changes in hydrological regime during the pre-Khaipakh break in sedimentation.

Breakthroughs in the biodiversity, biogeography, biostratigraphy, and basin analysis of the Beaufort group

Over the past decade researchers working on the rocks of the Beaufort Group in the main Karoo Basin of South Africa have vastly increased our understanding of this important Permo-Triassic sequence. Many new fossil forms have been discovered, allowing for breakthroughs into the biodiversity, biogeography and biostratigraphy of the group. Taxonomic and phylogenetic advances are many and varied, and cover most of the vertebrate taxa, but with emphasis placed on the temnospondyl amphibians, archosauriforms and non-mammalian synapsids, in particular the anomodontia. Biostratigraphic breakthroughs have centered on the Middle Permian Eodicynodon and Tapinocephalus assemblage zones, the Late Permian Dicynodon Assemblage Zone, and the Triassic Lystrosaurus and Cynognathus assemblage zones. Correlation of these biozones with better dated sequences in Europe, Russia and China has allowed for many chronostratigraphic refinements, which are in turn vital for sequence stratigraphical analysis of the basin fill. Based on fossil data, both the lower (Ecca–Beaufort) and upper (Beaufort–Molteno) contacts of the group have been proved to be highly diachronous. The refined chronostratigraphic framework has also allowed for a better analysis of the basin evolution through time, particularly in terms of the correlation of external stimuli that affect basin sedimentation patterns.     

Delivery of Trace Metals (Al,Fe, Mn,V, Co,Ni, Cu,Cd, Ag,Pb) from the Trinity River Watershed Towards the Ocean

The Trinity River (Texas, USA) contains in its watershed 23 different reservoir lakes, the largest one being Lake Livingston situated in the lower Trinity River watershed and two potentially polluting metroplexes, Dallas and Houston. In order to determine fluxes of nutrients and trace metals to Galveston Bay, a survey that included 24 discreet samples collected over a year and at various stages of discharge was carried out during 2000–2001. Geochemical (i.e., sorption by Fe oxyhydroxides), biological (i.e., seasonal uptake by sinking algae in Lake Livingston), and hydrological (i.e., dilution effects by increasing flow rates) controls were found to be mainly responsible for variations in dissolved trace metal concentrations rather than pollution sources. The Trinity River loads of suspended sediments and pollutant trace metals entering Galveston Bay at Anahuac were <20% of those reaching Lake Livingston, and only a few percent of the total upstream trace metal load is entering the Gulf of Mexico. Thus, during the transit through the 23 man-made lakes and an estuary, >96% of the pollutant trace metal load is lost to sediments.     

深港西部通道填海区地下水铜、钒、铊、镉、钨迁移的实验研究

填海工程使滨海地区的地下水物理化学条件改变,导致该区域地下水中重金属浓度升高。本文以深港西部通道填海区为例,采用实验室模拟填海条件的办法,初步探讨了影响填海区地下水重金属迁移的关键因素。模拟实验结果表明,填海区地下水中钨元素含量升高与地下水淡化、淤泥氧化过程以及填料风化有关;铜元素含量升高则与淤泥氧化过程以及填料风化有关;钒元素含量升高与地下水淡化和淤泥氧化过程有关,而其他元素含量升高则主要与填料风化释放有关。
