广东西樵山MIS5a网纹红土常量元素分布及其气候意义

广东西樵剖面厚约9.6m,其中该剖面的MIS5a网纹红土"XQ41"厚约33cm,位于该剖面719~751cm深度。对MIS 5a网纹红土按1cm间隔采集,总共获得32个样品的常量元素分析结果。研究表明,化学风化指标SiO2/Al2O3、CIA、ba和CIW的分布范围和平均值都显示其在物质组成上具有总体上均一的特征;SiO2-ba、SiO2-CIW和SiO2/Al2O3-CIA散点图上则分别以大部分、几乎全部和全部地聚集于现代热带红土(砖红土)散点的分布范围。据此提出,西樵网纹红土主要形成于热带气候影响下的生物气候带。有意义的是,与西樵网纹红土相同时代的西樵邻近区域的碧寿洞和罗沙岩哺乳动物化石群,都含有指示热带气候的物种。这进一步表明,热带生物气候带与发育成熟的网纹红土存在着逻辑上的因果关系。这一研究结果,为MIS5a全球变化与中国低纬区域环境响应提出了一个新的认识问题的材料,相应地也为轨道变化与冰期间冰期旋回学说增添了一个新的内容。

岭南东江流域末次间冰期强网纹红土主元素特征

岭南东江流域临江剖面下部含一套总厚约4.35 m的弱网纹红土和强网纹红土,其顶部热释光(TL)年龄为(71.4 ±6.6)ka B.P.;与邻区地层对比推测,该强网纹红土形成时代为末次间冰期.该强网纹红土主元素分析结果显示,其以湿润型元素SiO2、Al2O3和TFe为主,分布范围依次60.32%～67.81%、17.52%一21.32%和4.17%-5.96%;干旱型元素Na2O、CaO和MgO含量均小于0.50%,表现为强烈淋溶.该强网纹红土主元素分布特征、风化特征值、CIA(化学蚀变指数)值都表明其属中等富铝化红土,其风化强度稍低于广西百色网纹红土而接近于江西修水网纹红土.     

川西平原中更新世网纹红土主量元素地球化学特征

川西平原中更新世网纹红土地球化学分析结果表明,网纹红土的主量元素组成具有较好的一致性,以SiO2,Fe2O3 和
Al2O3 为主,三者含量之和平均值为90.92%;K2O,Na2O,CaO 和MgO 等易溶组分含量低,除K2O 含量略高于1% 外,其余氧化物均不足1%。相对于上陆壳（UCC）平均组成,主量元素富集TiO2,TFe2O3,贫Na2O,MgO,P2O5,K2O,MnO。样品中的Fe2O3,Al2O3,R2O3（Fe2O3+Al2O3）与SiO2 含量呈明显的负相关关系,表明该地区网纹红土符合亚热带地区脱硅富铝或脱硅富铝铁的成土过程,总体形成于湿热环境。通过化学蚀变指数（CIA）、风化淋溶系数（BA）和A-CN-K 图解等对比分析,该区中更新世网纹红土的化学风化强度与九江红土、宣城红土相近,认为该区网纹红土在湿热环境下遭受了强烈的化学风
化作用,同时也表明中更新世川西平原与长江中下游地区具有相似的古气候环境。     

南方更新世红土氧化物地球化学特征

江西、浙江和湖南等地更新世红土化学组成分析结果表明,各地各类红土的化学组成具有较好的一致性。以SiO2、Fe2O3和Al2O3为主,K2O、Na2O、CaO和MgO大量淋失,相对于上陆壳(UCC)平均组成富Ti、Fe和Al,贫K、Na、Ca和Mg。符合亚热带地区脱硅富铝或脱硅富铝铁的基本成土过程,总体形成于湿热环境。其烧失量(LOI)对红土脱硅富铝程度具有一定的指示意义,LOI越大,脱硅富铝程度越强。同一剖面从网纹红土至均质红土或从网纹红土至棕色黄色风化程度渐弱。然而,全岩样品的SiO2/Al2O3、SiO2/R2O3分子比在直接指示红土风化强度方面不够有效。白网纹与红色基质的物源一致,化学组成却存在一定分异。以UCC为背景的元素盈亏状态和以均质红土为背景的元素绝对迁移量特征一致表明,物质迁移,尤其是Fe迁移与网纹红土网纹化过程之间存在必然的联系。Fe迁出区形成白网纹,Fe加入区继承红土化特征。     

引起红土表层硅铝比值增大原因的可能性探讨

Si/Al或SiO2/R2O3常常作为表生化学风化作用强度的重要指标。随着化学风化作用的进行。硅铝比或硅铝铁率表现出逐渐降低的演化趋势，中国南方的红土风化壳，是强烈化学风化作用的产物，被认为处于或经历了脱硅富铝化阶段，但是在红土剖面上部常常出现该比值不降反升的现象。给运用这一指标指示化学风化强度带来了困难，通过对贵州平坝，新蒲及花溪碳酸盐岩红色风化壳化学风化程度的研究，以及对中国南方几种不同结晶母岩上发育的红土的化学风化强度指标的对比讨论。探讨了产生这种现象的可能性原因。指出Fe,Al氧化物的下渗和淋失作用及其硅质的相对富集是引起中国南方红土表层出现Si/Al和SiO2/R2O3升高的主要原因。     

广东西樵剖面主量元素记录的全新世气候突变

以广东佛山市西樵山(22°56'15"N,112°57'16"E)全新统厚153 cm的河湖相及红土为研究对象,在11个AMS-14C测年数据和沉积物主量元素分析的基础上探讨全新世以来该剖面的化学风化特征及古环境意义,对具有明确指示化学风化意义的脱硅富铝铁化指标Al2O3/SiO2和(Al2O3+TFeO)/SiO2进行分析,结合孢粉指示的古生态,确定了气候旋回与化学风化旋回之间的关系,为南亚热带地区全新世环境演变提供了地球化学证据。研究结果表明,西樵山全新统共记录了13次弱风化-冬季风事件,其中发生于2000 cal.a B.P.(xc1)、2900 cal.a B.P.(xc3)、4100 cal.a B.P.(xc4)、5300 cal.a B.P.(xc5)、7800 cal.a B.P.(xc10)、9300 cal.a B.P.(xc11)、9500 cal.a B.P.(xc12)和9700 cal.a B.P.(xc13)的事件可对应北大西洋深海沉积Bond事件1~8,前6次事件与南海陆坡北部的17940孔10 ka B.P.以来的6个弱季风事件相应,且这13个冷事件几乎都可与太阳黑子活动最小值阶段相对应。这意味着西樵山剖面全新世突变事件除受北半球高纬冰量变化的影响外,可能还在相当程度上受到太阳活动的强迫。     

滇西上芒岗红色粘土型金矿常量元素地球化学

滇西上芒岗红色粘土剖面中常量元素的垂向分布研究表明，K2O、Fe2O3、Al2O3在剖面中的变化一致，呈双峰曲线变化，即在坡积带稍有富集、在残积带明显富集；而SiO2与铁、铝等在剖面中的变化相反。红色粘土与矿区地层和矿化蚀变岩的常量元素对比分析表明了红色粘土可能来源于地层和矿化蚀变岩。常量元素之间的相关性以及常量元素与金的相关性分析表明K2O、Fe2O3、Al2O3在红色粘土中为共生元素；金的富集主要受红色粘土中褐铁矿和伊利石的吸附影响。红土化参数分析说明了红色粘土剖面经历两次红土化作用，残积带相对于其它带经受过较强的红土化作用，但整个红色粘土剖面遭受的红土化作用不强，红土化程度低，仅处于粘土化阶段。     

庐山北麓JL红土剖面粉砂粒级元素地球化学特征及其物源意义

加积型红土是中国南方第四纪环境变化研究的重要陆相载体,其沉积母质显示风成特性,后期经历较强的化学风化。为了明确加积型红土的物质来源,并减弱风化效应对其物源信息的影响,本文提取了庐山北麓JL红土剖面(厚18.46 m)部分样品的粉砂组分(4~63 μm),分析其元素地球化学特征,并通过元素比值及物源判别指数等方法讨论其蕴含的物源信息。结果显示:1)粉砂粒级化学组成中SiO2、Al2O3和Fe2O3三者的含量可达84.29%,K2O、Na2O、CaO和MgO四者含量仅1.30%,与全岩相比SiO2含量增高,Al2O3和Fe2O3含量明显降低,风化指数CIA值(74.02%)明显低于全岩样品(85.00%);微量元素中,粉砂粒级相对全岩Cu、Zn、Rb、Sr、Cr、La等含量降低,Y、Zr含量则略高。2)Na2O/Al2O3与K2O/Al2O3及Na2O/K2O与CIA的散点图中,粉砂粒级样点间的集聚程度明显降低,暗示风化效应在一定程度上被削弱。此外以洛川黄土和长江河漫滩沉积物为端元的物源指数计算表明,全岩样品消除粒级效应后的物源指数(PIw)与粉砂粒级物源指数(PIfs)吻合度较好,进一步验证了粉砂粒级地球化学特征在削弱风化效应方面的有效性。3)JL剖面上部黄棕色土的PIfs值为0.45,物源上更接近北方黄土,剖面中下部的网纹红土PIfs值为0.57,物源更接近长江沉积物。结合TiO2/Al2O3、Zr/Y、Hf/Ti等元素比值,JL剖面自下而上近源物质的贡献略有减少,远源物质的贡献则趋于增加,这可能意味着晚第四纪以来东亚冬季风不断增强的过程。     

Phases of Environmental Evolution Indicated by Primary Chemical Elements and Paleontological Records in the Upper Pleistocene-Holocene Series for the Salawusu River Valley, China

Studies of lithology, sedimentary facies and the distribution regularity of SiO2 and Al2O3 contents and Al2O3/SiO2 ratio allow us to divide the Upper Pleistocene-Holocene Series represented by the MUanggouwan section in China＇s Salawnsu River valley into six segments： MGS1, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, MGS5 and MGS6. The boundary ages for MGS1 （the Dishaogouwan and Dagouwan Formations）, MGS2 （the upper Chengchuan Formation）, MGS3 （the middle Chengchuan Formation）, MGS4 （the lower Chengchuan Formation）, MGS5 （most strata of the Salawusu Formation） and MGS6 （the bottom of the Salawusu Formation and the top of the Lishi Formation） correspond to those of MIS1, MIS2, MIS3, MIS4, MISS and MIS6, respectively, from deep sea sediments or continental glaciers. MGS5 can be subdivided into five subsegments （MGS5a, MGS5b, MGS5c, MGS5d and MGS5e） and the boundary ages of these subsegments correspond to those of MISSa, MISSb, MIS5c, MIS5d and MIS5e, respectively. Based on the paleoenvironment and paleoecology indicated by the primary chemical elements, fossil vertebrates, mollusks and pollen grains, we hypothesize that MGS1, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, MGS5 and MGS6 and the subsegments of MGS5 match the corresponding stages for oxygen isotopes in the deep sea sediments and continental glaciers, and the substages of MIS5 in terms of climatic characters, further explaining the phenomena that determined the formation of the late Quaternary strata and the paleontology of the Salawusu River valley. These phenomena relate to fluctuations in the global climate （and particularly in the East Asian monsoon） during the glacial and interglacial periods.     

The seagrass skeletal assemblage from modern to fossil and from tropical to temperate: Insight from Maldivian and Mediterranean examples

Seagrasses are marine angiosperms that form extensive submarine meadows in the photic zone where carbonate producing biota dwell as epiphytes on the leaves or as infaunal forms, and act as prolific carbonate sediment factories. Because seagrasses have a low preservation potential and records of exceptionally well‐preserved and plant material from marine settings are rare, these palaeoenvironments are difficult to identify in the rock record. Consequently, sedimentological and palaeontological proxies are the main indicators of the presence of seagrass‐dominated ecosystems. This work investigates the skeletal assemblage of Modern (Maldivian and western Mediterranean) and fossil (Eocene; Apula and Oman carbonate platforms and Oligocene; Malta platform) seagrass examples to characterize the skeletal assemblage of modern and fossil seagrasses. Two main types of grains, calcareous algae and foraminifera, constitute around 50% of the bioclastic sediment in both tropical Maldivian and temperate Mediterranean scenarios. However, in the tropical setting they are represented by green algae (Halimeda), while in the Mediterranean they are represented by corallinacean red algae. In contrast, in the Eocene examples, the foraminifera are the most conspicuous group and the green algae are also abundant. The opposite occurs in the Maltese Chattian, which is dominated by coralline algae (mean 42%), although the foraminifera are still abundant. It is suggested to use the term foralgal to identify the seagrass skeletal assemblage. To discriminate between red algae and green algae dominance, the introduction of the prefixes ‘GA’ (green algae) and ‘RA’ (red algae) is proposed. The investigated examples provide evidence that the green algae–foralgal assemblage is typical of tropical, not excessively dense seagrass meadows, characterized by a well‐illuminated substrate to support the development and calcification of the Halimeda thallus. Contrarily, the red algae‐foralgal assemblage is typical of high density tropical to subtropical seagrass meadows which create very dense oligophotic conditions on the sea floor or in temperate settings where Halimeda cannot calcify.     

Subduction zone stresses: Constraints from mechanics and from topographic and geoid anomalies

There are, in principle, direct relations between several important phenomena associated with subduction zones: the depth of oceanic trenches, the magnitude of the net force from trenches acting on subducting plates, the distribution and fault plane orientations of earthquakes, the magnitude of stresses on subduction faults, the bathymetry of back-arc regions, and the magnitudes of gravity and geoid anomalies. These phenomena are related through the stresses transmitted through surface and subducted lithosphere, and are associated with the mass anomaly of the subducted lithosphere. Quantitative estimates suggest that observed trench depths imply a trench pull force on subducting plates which is comparable to the ridge push force but much less than the excess weight of the subducted lithospheric slab. It is further suggested that either the mass anomaly of subducted lithosphere is much less than would be expected on the basis of conventional thermal and compositional models or that (a) a large resistance acts on the upper part of slabs due to high-stress corner flow, and (b) the mass anomaly of the slab is 70–90% compensated either by a broad 1 km-deep back-arc depression or a low density mantle wedge above the slab or both.     

Indirect crustal contamination: evidence from isotopic and chemical disequilibria in minerals from alkali basalts and nephelinites from northern Tanzania

 Alkali basalts and nephelinites from the volcanic province of northern Tanzania contain pyroxene and nepheline that show evidence for chemical and/or isotopic disequilibria with their host magmas. Olivine, pyroxene, nepheline and plagioclase all appear to be partially xenocrystic in origin. Five whole rock/mineral separate pairs have been analyzed for Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopic compositions. The ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios are distinct by as much as 20.94 (whole rock) vs. 19.10 (clinopyroxene separate). The Sr and Nd isotopic disequilibria vary from insignificant in the case of nepheline, to Δ ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr of 0.0002 and Δɛ_Nd of 0.7 in the case of clinopyroxene. The mineral chemistry of 25 samples indicates the ubiquitous presence of minerals that did not crystallize from a liquid represented by the host rock. The northern Tanzanian magmas are peralkaline and exhibit none of the xenocrystic phases expected from crustal assimilation. The disequilibria cannot be the result of mantle source variations. Rather the xenocrystic phases present appear to have been derived from earlier alkali basaltic rocks or magmas that were contaminated by the crust. Material from this earlier magma was then mixed with batches of magma that subsequently erupted on the surface. Disequilibrium in volcanic rocks has potentially serious consequences for the use of whole rock data to identify source reservoirs. However, mass balance calculations reveal that the ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb isotopic compositions of the erupted lavas were changed by less than 0.25% as a result of this indirect crustal contamination.

危地马拉与缅甸含绿辉石翡翠的矿物学对比研究

以危地马拉蓝水料与缅甸油青种翡翠为研究对象,通过显微镜观察、岩石薄片观察、X射线粉末衍射分析、激光拉曼光谱分析、扫描电镜分析、电子探针分析等测试手段对两者进行了常规宝石学特征、结构特征、杂质矿物、化学成分等方面的对比研究。结果表明,危地马拉蓝水料发育等粒变晶结构,主要成分为硬玉,含有绿辉石,硬玉环带以2～3层为主,绿辉石分别以自形颗粒、交代残余、沿微裂隙充填3种形式存在,其中白色点状物为钠长石,绿色点状物为霓辉石和绿辉石的混杂物;缅甸油青种翡翠以硬玉为主颗粒相对粗大,呈柱粒状镶嵌结构,硬玉发育3～5层环带结构,绿辉石以脉状充填硬玉颗粒间隙或被硬玉颗粒交代呈孤岛状。危地马拉蓝水料硬玉颗粒与脉状绿辉石的CaO含量均高于缅甸油青种翡翠,另外由于霓辉石的存在,推测两产地翡翠结晶环境中的Ca、Fe含量可能存在差异。     

Flood and Shield Basalts from Ethiopia: Magmas from the African Superswell

The Ethiopian plateau is made up of several distinct volcaniccentres of different ages and magmatic affinities. In the NE,a thick sequence of 30 Ma flood basalts is overlain by the 30Ma Simien shield volcano. The flood basalts and most of thisshield volcano, except for a thin veneer of alkali basalt, aretholeiitic. In the centre of the province, a far thinner sequenceof flood basalt is overlain by the 22 Ma Choke and Guguftu shieldvolcanoes. Like the underlying flood basalts, these shieldsare composed of alkaline lavas. A third type of magma, whichalso erupted at 30 Ma, is more magnesian, alkaline and stronglyenriched in incompatible trace elements. Eruption of this magmawas confined to the NE of the province, a region where the lavaflows are steeply tilted as a result of deformation contemporaneouswith their emplacement. Younger shields (e.g. Mt Guna, 10·7Ma) are composed of Si-undersaturated lavas. The three maintypes of magma have very different major and trace element characteristicsranging from compositions low in incompatible elements in thetholeiites [e.g. 10 ppm La at 7 wt % MgO (=La₇), La/Yb = 4·2],moderate in the alkali basalts (La₇ = 24, La/Yb = 9·2),and very high in the magnesian alkaline magmas (La₇ = 43, La/Yb= 17). Although their Nd and Sr isotope compositions are similar,Pb isotopic compositions vary considerably; ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb variesin the range of

New paleomagnetic and paleointensity data from Pliocene lava flows from the Lesser Caucasus

A paleomagnetic, rock-magnetic and paleointensity study has been carried out on 14 basaltic lava flows from two Pliocene (K–Ar age between 3.09 ± 0.10 Ma and 4.00 ± 0.15 Ma) sequences (Apnia and Korxi) from the eastern Djhavakheti Highland in southern Georgia (Caucasus).Measurement of strong-field magnetisation versus temperature curves yielded three types of thermomagnetic curves: (i) Reversible curves with magnetite as only remanence carrier (type H); (ii) irreversible curves with magnetite as only carrier of remanence (type H⁻) and (iii) irreversible curves showing a low Curie-temperature phase and magnetite (type L). Analysis of hysteresis curves showed that samples were characterised by a mixture of single-domain and multi-domain grains.Paleomagnetic experiments allowed determining characteristic components for all flows and normal polarities (6 flows), reversed polarities (7 flows) and intermediate polarities (1 flow) were observed.. Paleomagnetic poles were calculated using only those sites unequivocally showing normal or reversed polarities. The paleomagnetic pole obtained from flows of both combined sequences (latitude λ = 77.9°N, longitude ϕ = 152.1°E, n = 13, A₉₅ = 11.8°, k = 13.4) showed a good agreement with the 5 Ma window of the European synthetic apparent polar wander path of Besse and Courtillot (2002). The paleomagnetic direction of the combined Apnia-Korxi flows agrees well with the expected one, showing no significant tectonic rotation. The latter cannot be however, completely excluded in the Korxi section. In that section, analysis of the angular dispersion of virtual geomagnetic poles yields a much higher value than expected.Paleointensity experiments using the Coe method were performed on 31 specimens from 10 flows. After application of specific selection criteria, 19 samples from 8 flows were observed to provide successful determinations, with mean flow values showing a wide scatter. If only flows with more than one successful paleointensity determination are taken into account, virtual dipole moments (VDMs) vary between 3.5 × 10²² A m² and 8.3 × 10²² A m². In intermediate polarity site AP2 no weak transitional paleostrength values were observed.     

Lateglacial palaeoenvironments and palaeoclimates from Conty and Houdancourt, northern France, reconstructed from Beetle remains

Two Lateglacial insect sequences are described (a) from Conty, in the Selle valley and (b) from Houdancourt in the Oise valley, both in northern France. These investigations are part of a multidisciplinary investigation involving archaeology, sedimentology, geomorphology, geochronology and palaeontology (pollen, macroscopic plant remains, vertebrates, molluscs and insect fossils). The sequences of insect assemblages date from the latter part of the Bølling to the end of the Allerød periods. Environmental analysis of these faunas shows that rivers with riffles and pools meandered across flood plains. The river was extensively fringed with reedy vegetation. The only trees growing close to the river were of Salix and/or Populus. All the insect assemblages indicate that the thermal climates during the Bølling and Allerød periods were similar to one another and during both periods were very nearly as warm as that of the present day. No insect fossils were recovered from the sediments attributed to the Older Dryas interval though other evidence from these sites suggests that this event was decidedly colder than those immediately preceding and succeeding it. Comparisons are made between Lateglacial climatic patterns in northern France with those elsewhere in Europe.
