三门峡会兴沟剖面黄土—古土壤序列的岩石磁学研究

岩石磁学是古地磁学和环境磁学研究的基础,是鉴定岩石和沉积物中磁性矿物种类、粒度和含量的有效途径。对黄土高原东南部三门峡盆地的水沟—会兴沟旧石器遗址会兴沟剖面黄土—古土壤序列(S_0~S_8)进行系统的岩石磁学研究表明:本剖面沉积物的主要载磁矿物为磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿和赤铁矿,显示准单畴(PSD)磁性颗粒特征。所有磁学参数曲线均表现出基本一致的变化特征,与深海氧同位素曲线能够很好的对应,反映了第四纪以来的冰期—间冰期旋回中,东亚季风影响下的风尘黄土堆积中磁性矿物种类、粒度和含量的周期性变化特征。黄土中高矫顽力磁性矿物的相对含量要高于古土壤中的,而随着成土作用的加强,在古土壤中细粒的低矫顽力磁性矿物显著增加的同时,其中高矫顽力磁性矿物的绝对含量也相应增加。质量磁化率(χ)与非磁滞剩磁磁化率(χ_(ARM))和饱和等温剩磁(SIRM)及磁粒度参数χ_(ARM)/SIRM和χ_(ARM)/χ均呈明显的正相关关系,表明由成土作用产生的单畴(SD)颗粒和较小PSD颗粒对磁化率增强有显著的贡献。     

新疆柴窝堡盆地南缘晚新生代陆源沉积物岩石磁学特征及其古环境意义

亚洲内陆晚新生代干旱化历史及其驱动机制是非常重要的科学问题。选择天山北麓柴窝堡盆地南缘乌鲁木齐河剖面为研究对象,基于磁性地层年代学研究建立的时间标尺,分析了该剖面碎屑沉积物岩石磁学特征及其控制因素,进一步探讨了柴窝堡盆地晚新生代古气候特征。磁性地层年代学研究约束乌鲁木齐河剖面底界年龄为~6.8 Ma,顶界年龄为~3.3 Ma。详细的岩石磁学测量及漫反射光谱分析结果表明,乌鲁木齐河剖面沉积物中磁性矿物主要包括磁铁矿、赤铁矿等,磁学参数χ_lf、χ_ARM、SIRM、S_-100mT、S_-300mT、 χ_ARM/SIRM等在~6.3 Ma、~5.2 Ma存在明显变化,揭示磁性矿物粒度、含量等存在相应变化,如在~6.3 Ma前后,磁性矿物颗粒逐渐变粗、含量降低;在~5.2 Ma前后,磁性矿物颗粒逐渐变细后趋于稳定、含量逐渐增多。基于稀土元素分析、沉积粒度与磁学参数相关性分析,认为沉积物源与沉积物粒度不是导致乌鲁木齐河剖面磁学性质变化的主要因素,自~6.8 Ma以来逐步干旱化的气候条件可能是导致该剖面磁学特征变化的重要原因。基于漫反射光谱分析得到的红度与亮度数据结果也揭示了同样的古气候特征。     

兰州九州台黄土磁性特征及其古气候意义研究

本文选取黄土高原西部地区具有代表性的九州台黄土进行系统的磁性和粒度特征研究,结果表明其磁性特征主要由磁铁矿控制,同时含有磁赤铁矿和赤铁矿;磁性矿物粒度为假单畴,黄土的粒度组成以粉砂为主.＜2μm的细颗粒组分不能很好的反映黄土高原西部地区黄土末次间冰期的成壤强度.与磁化率相比,xARM/x.,和xARM/SIRM能更好的反映成壤强度和古气候变化.选取＞40μm的粒度百分含量和xARM/SIRM作为代用指标分别反映冬、夏季风变化,研究结果揭示冬、夏季风趋势并非同步异向变化,在倒数第二次冰期向末次间冰期过渡时,相对于夏季风,冬季风的变化具有一定的滞后性,暗示了冬夏季风的主控因素可能不同.     

土壤剖面的磁学特征及其对交通污染的指示意义——以北京首都机场高速公路为例

对北京首都机场高速公路旁采集的土壤柱状T01剖面的磁学参数和金属元素分析,探讨了研究区内现代交通导致的土壤磁学性质的变化及其对环境污染的响应.结果表明,磁参数(χ,ARM和SIRM)与重金属含量呈同步垂向变化趋势.来源于交通运输排放的污染物是土壤剖面上部(0～8 cm)磁性和金属含量增强的主要原因,8cm以下,土壤基本未受到污染,磁性矿物和重金属含量较低,磁性颗粒变化稳定,基本代表了该地区土壤的自然背景.尽管土壤岩石磁学分析表明剖面上下部受污染和未受污染样品的磁载体均是粒度较粗的多畴磁铁矿,但是结合磁参数比值曲线,说明底部样品的磁颗粒的粒度较顶部偏细.磁性矿物的含量变化没有影响磁颗粒的粒度特征.指标聚类等相关分析表明,土壤磁参数(χ,ARM和SIRM)与重金属元素(Pb,Zn和Cu)含量显著相关;结合模糊聚类分析,磁参数可用于追踪、识别交通污染物质在土壤剖面中的富集、迁移状态,揭示不同深度土壤的污染程度.     

黄东海陆架及朝鲜海峡泥质沉积物的磁学特征比较研究

黄东海陆架和朝鲜海峡等5个泥质沉积区全新世中期以来(自约6kaB.P.至今)的细粒沉积物主要是黄河、长江和朝鲜半岛的河流入海物质在复杂的海洋动力系统中的沉积产物.对取自山东半岛北部近岸泥质区和长江口以南的闽浙沿岸泥质区(舟山群岛近岸海区)的表层细粒沉积物(粘土质粉砂和粉砂质粘土)开展了详细的岩石磁学测试,包括磁化率、等温剩磁和样品磁化率随温度的变化等分析,并将实验数据与以往研究过的济州岛西南陆架区、南黄海东南部陆架区和朝鲜海峡西岸等3个泥质沉积区细粒沉积物的磁学特征进行比较研究.结果表明,上述5处细粒沉积物的磁性矿物主要组分为磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿和赤铁矿,其中低矫顽力磁性矿物为主,平均粒度为准单畴(PSD).根据磁性矿物的粒度和低矫顽力组分的相对含量,这5处细粒沉积物可以划分为3种类型:第1种类型是朝鲜海峡西岸细粒沉积物,其磁性矿物的粒度最粗,低矫顽力组分的相对含量为中等;第2种类型是南黄海东南部陆架细粒沉积物,其磁性矿物的粒度为中等,低矫顽力组分的相对含量最大;第3种类型是山东半岛北部近岸、闽浙沿岸(舟山群岛近岸)和济州岛西南陆架区的细粒沉积物,其磁性矿物的粒度最细,低矫顽力组分的相对含量最低.在这5处细粒沉积物中,闽浙沿岸(舟山群岛近岸)细粒沉积物的磁性矿物含量最高,其他4处细粒沉积物的磁性矿物含量都较低且大体相当.这种磁学特征的差异反映了物源的不同.从磁学特征来分析,济州岛西南陆架区的泥质沉积物主要来自黄河和长江;南黄海东南部泥质区的主要物源是朝鲜半岛进入黄海的河流,黄河和长江对其没有重要贡献.     

德令哈盆地尕海湖DG03孔岩芯矿物组合与古环境变化

对气候敏感区德令哈盆地尕海湖DG03孔岩芯的矿物学分析表明,DG03孔岩芯的矿物主要包括石英、斜长石、微斜长石、绿泥石、伊利石、方解石、文石、白云石、石膏及石盐等。岩芯记录了尕海湖约11 ka以来（AMS 14C年龄）的古环境变化。根据矿物、碳酸盐含量及岩性的变化,整个岩芯可划分为三个部分:Ⅰ. 约11 ka～10 ka BP,晚冰期末期;Ⅱ. 10 ka～4 ka BP,全新世早中期;Ⅲ.4 ka至今,全新世晚期。矿物组合表明,自晚冰期以来,尕海湖先后经历了湖泊演化的逆向和正向演化阶段,即尕海湖先后经历了晚冰期的干冷气候,早全新世的暖干气候,中全新世的暖湿气候以及晚全新世以来的逐渐干冷的气候。岩性分析还表明,尕海湖沉积环境复杂,存在多种微相沉积。     

西菲律宾海GX149柱状样沉积物磁学性质及其环境意义

对取自西菲律宾海西部的GX149柱状样沉积物进行详细的环境磁学研究,揭示其蕴含的环境意义和物源信息。岩石磁学结果表明,GX149柱状样沉积物中携磁矿物以低矫顽力磁铁矿为主;反映磁性颗粒粒径的King图与Day图显示沉积物中磁性矿物以准单畴(PSD)为主。剖面上磁学参数变化明显,以磁性矿物粒径参数(χARM/χ)作为替代指标反演古气候变化结果显示:冷期沉积物中磁性矿物含量相对更高,粒径更粗,高矫顽力矿物含量增加;而暖期沉积物中磁性矿物含量相对较低,粒径更细,高矫顽力矿物含量降低。干燥、寒冷、风大的冷期气候下,东亚季风携带的粉尘输入增加导致沉积物中高矫顽力矿物含量增多;而温暖湿润的暖期,沉积物中风成粉尘输入减少,高矫顽力矿物含量降低。GX149柱状样沉积物与西菲律宾海其他区域以及南海沉积物相似的磁学特征,相同的冰期-间冰期旋回趋势说明沉积物磁学特征对气候变化的响应在东亚地区具有共性。     

天山北麓典型黄土沉积序列的磁学特征及主控因子初探

新疆黄土岩石磁学特征与地层性质的对应关系具有鲜明的区域特征.本文选取沙湾黄土剖面进行较为系统的岩石磁学分析.研究结果表明,沙湾剖面的磁性矿物组成与黄土高原及新疆北部其他黄土剖面相似,以亚铁磁性矿物(如磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿)为主要的载磁矿物,同时含有一定量的不完全反铁磁性矿物(如赤铁矿、针铁矿)和顺磁性矿物.假单畴(PSD)和多畴(MD)为样品的主要磁畴特征,部分土壤样品中磁性矿物磁畴状态表现为单畴(SD).进一步分析发现,磁化率与地层对应关系较为复杂,剖面3m以上地层中的磁化率及其他相关磁学参数与成壤强度呈现正相关关系,全新世以来发育的古土壤中磁化率值较高,细颗粒磁性矿物含量也较高;而3m之下地层中磁学参数显著表现为风力强度驱动变化模式.古风场强度的变化可能对剖面整体磁学性质具有一定的影响,成壤作用受到风动力条件的制约,主要决定了较细颗粒磁性矿物的含量变化.xARM/SIRM参数与磁化率相比对地层成壤强度的指示作用更为明显.     

西菲律宾海西部沉积物磁学特征及其环境意义

磁学参数作为有效的气候环境变化替代指标,能为古环境演变和沉积物物源研究提供有价值的信息。对取自西菲律宾海西部的GX72柱状样沉积物进行系统的环境磁学研究,测量了磁化率(χ)、非磁滞剩磁(ARM)、等温剩磁(IRM)、磁化率变温曲线(κ-T曲线)、磁滞回线等磁学参数或曲线。结果表明,GX72柱状样沉积物中携磁矿物以低矫顽力磁铁矿为主,粒径以较粗粒准单畴(PSD)为主,这些磁性颗粒主要来源于河流输入的陆源碎屑物质,风成粉尘较少。剖面上多个磁学参数呈现出相同或相反的变化趋势,反映古气候对沉积物磁学性质的制约。χ高值样品通常对应于高饱和等温剩磁(SIRM)值、低ARM/SIRM值、低χARM/χ值以及低χfd值;这类沉积物样品中磁性矿物的含量相对更高,粒度相对较大,可能形成于冷期(相对)。相反,χ低值样品通常对应于低SIRM值、高ARM/SIRM值、高χARM/χ值以及低χfd值,这类样品中磁性矿物的含量相对较低,粒径相对较小,代表相对暖期沉积。     

潮滩表层沉积物磁性特征的季节性变化及其对沉积动力作用的响应:以杭州湾北岸为例

根据2004年9月—2005年8月杭州湾北岸中潮滩固定观测点重复采集的表层沉积物的磁学参数和粒度分析,探讨了研究区域潮滩沉积物磁学性质的季节性变化及其对沉积动力的响应。 结果表明, 该观测点潮滩沉积物磁学参数存在显著的月际变化,2004年12月底—2005年5月上旬的半年中,SIRM、χARM、χfd%、χARM/χ、χARM/SIRM等参数出现高值,指示了沉积物中含有较多的细晶粒亚铁磁性矿物,对应于潮滩淤积时段和较细的沉积物粒级组成,其余各月上述磁参数值较低,对应于潮滩沉积物较粗的侵蚀期。上述结果表明,沉积物的磁性特征可以很好地反映潮滩冲淤过程中沉积动力的变化。     

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.
