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。     

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.     

中国黄土磁性矿物特征及其古气候意义

最直观、最直接的古气候记录莫过于陆相黄土地层,它由许多黄土和古土壤层叠覆而成,详细地记录了第四纪以来的古气候变化。黄土高原中部黄土和古土壤的风化和发育程度可以用磁学参数,如磁化率等来描述。本文作者对甘肃西峰剖面约13万年以来的黄土地层做了详细采样,测量其磁滞回线各参数,频率磁化率、低场和高场磁化率、温度磁化率、磁组构等参数。研究表明,黄土与古土壤中的磁性矿物组分相似而且稳定。磁铁矿、赤铁矿和磁赤铁矿(主要是磁铁矿)的含量及其颗粒大小决定了它们的磁学特征。黄土和古土壤的磁学性质差别主要受成土过程中形成细小磁铁矿的影响。     

佳县红粘土磁学性质

黄土/古土壤序列和红粘土均已被证明是风积成因,然而红粘土研究的程度远低于黄土/古土壤序列,比如强发育红粘土获得比较低磁化率值的原因并没有得到清楚解释,红粘土磁化率代用指标问题和红粘土搬运路径等问题还存在较大的争议,红粘土记录古气候意义研究也相对薄弱,因此加强对红粘土的研究,有助于对古气候的理解.佳县位于黄土高原与毛乌素沙漠交接地区,季风区与非季风区过渡地带.对佳县厚60m的红粘土样品进行系统磁学参数测量分析发现,佳县红粘土以软磁性矿物(磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿)为主,同时含有一定量硬磁性矿物(赤铁矿、针铁矿,主要是赤铁矿);强发育古土壤层含有较多软磁性矿物,弱发育古土壤层含有较多硬磁性矿物;磁颗粒粒径基本在0.2μm以下,x＞64×10-8m3/kg时,磁颗粒粒径小于0.1μm.剖面底部磁学参数变化存在异常,原因可能是:赤铁矿含量增加,超顺磁(SP)亚铁磁性颗粒含量急剧减少,单畴(SD)颗粒相对含量增加.该异常原因解释符合前人提出的成壤路径:水铁矿→SP磁赤铁矿→SD磁赤铁矿→SD赤铁矿.     

华南中-晚二叠世之交碳酸盐岩磁学特征及环境意义

磁学参数作为可靠的古气候和古环境指标, 能为全球环境变化、气候过程研究提供有价值的资料.对广西来宾铁桥剖面瓜德鲁普-乐平统界线地层进行详细岩石磁学研究, 结果表明, 铁桥剖面样品中主要磁性矿物是顺磁性矿物以及少量磁铁矿、赤铁矿.在瓜德鲁普-乐平统界线附近, 岩石磁学特征发生显著变化, 磁化率先增大再减小, 携磁矿物成分呈硬磁性矿物(赤铁矿)→软磁性矿物(磁铁矿)→硬磁性矿物(赤铁矿)的变化趋势, 这些转变仅在界线上下大约4m的岩层内完成, 与中二叠世晚期的海平面变化、古海水温度变化同步.中-晚二叠世之交碳酸盐岩磁学参数的变化显著, 反映磁性矿物在各圈层之间的运移和转换发生了转变, 这一转变起因于当时的气候环境变化.瓜德鲁普世晚期和乐平世早期, 海平面较高, 来宾地区物源少, 铁桥剖面的携磁矿物主要来自粉尘赤铁矿; 中-晚二叠世之交短暂的大规模海退作用使华南古陆面积大幅度增加, 同时陆生植物大规模灭绝, 地表侵蚀加剧, 来宾地区物源增多, 此时, 铁桥剖面的携磁矿物主要来源于河流输入的磁铁矿.      

宝鸡剖面S5古土壤磁化率变化机制

运用岩石磁学和地球化学相结合的方法对宝鸡剖面S5和S3古土壤的磁性特征进行了详细对比分析,结果表明S5古土壤层Rb/Sr比值较高,S5古土壤形成期气候温暖湿润,成壤程度比S3时期强.S5层亚铁磁性矿物含量低于S3层,反铁磁性矿物主要为针铁矿;而S3层的反铁磁性矿物主要为赤铁矿.S5层土体表面及土壤空隙中可见大量黑褐色的铁锰胶膜分布,由于沉积后土壤长时期处于偏干或偏湿的氧化、还原交替环境中,细粒的磁铁矿和/或磁赤铁矿、赤铁矿溶解转化成褐铁矿、针铁矿等弱磁性矿物,主要转化成在局域湿润环境下能够稳定存在的针铁矿,这种磁性矿物的转化可能导致了成壤强的S5古土壤超顺磁亚铁磁性矿物含量的减少和磁化率的降低.     

新疆尼勒克黄土岩石磁学特征及变化机制研究

新疆黄土与黄土高原黄土相比,无论在物源还是后期成土环境方面都存在较大差异,因此二者的磁学特征有所不同。本文选取伊犁尼勒克地区的一个黄土-古土壤剖面进行了系统的岩石磁学及粒度研究。实验结果表明尼勒克剖面中磁性矿物具有以下特征:1)以亚铁磁性矿物磁铁矿和磁赤铁矿为主,并含有一定量的反铁磁性矿物赤铁矿和针铁矿;2)各黄土层成壤作用弱,磁性矿物以原始输入的粗颗粒MD和PSD为主。PS_1古土壤层成壤作用强,以细颗粒SD为主。弱发育古土壤层PS。既包含SD颗粒,又有粗颗粒。各地层均不含SP颗粒;3)PS_1古土壤层原始含铁矿物输入量略低于黄土高原地区,其他各地层均高于黄土高原地区,但受成土作用及其他因素影响,剖面中亚铁磁性矿物含量远低于黄土高原黄土-古土壤层。PS_1古土壤层成壤作用强,在新疆地区较为少见,但其磁化率却低于各黄土层,说明尼勒克黄土-古土壤磁化率变化机制与黄土高原地区不同。古土壤层原始输入含铁矿物的量较黄土层低,但原始含铁矿物只是影响剖面磁化率变化的原因之一。PS_1古土壤层在沉积后期受到间歇性水流作用,成土成因的强磁性SP磁铁矿/磁赤铁矿颗粒遭受破坏并转化为赤铁矿,导致PS_1古土壤层磁化率的急剧降低,并使该层赤铁矿的相对含量增加。     

川西高原理县黄土磁学特征及其影响因素

川西高原河谷阶地和断陷盆地广泛分布厚层风成黄土-古土壤序列,目前对其磁学性质变化机制及古气候意义研究还很薄弱。文章对该区理县黄土-古土壤剖面进行了系统的岩石磁学研究,确定了其磁性矿物种类、含量和颗粒大小的特征及其变化规律。通过结合粒度、色度与地球化学参数,进一步探讨了理县黄土-古土壤磁性的主控因素。结果表明:1)理县剖面同时含有强磁性矿物(为磁铁矿和磁赤铁矿)以及弱磁性矿物(为赤铁矿和针铁矿);2)相对黄土层,古土壤层含有更高比例的亚铁磁性矿物;3)成土过程中生成的大量细小强磁性矿物颗粒,是古土壤层S1磁化率增加的主导因素,该模式与黄土高原相似;4)结合色度以及磁学性质,可以较为明确地区分成壤强度;(5)理县黄土剖面物源复杂,磁学特征受到沉积物来源、后期流水和气候的共同作用,利用单一磁学性质(比如磁化率)进行古气候研究会造成多解性。     

花岗岩上发育的亚热带红土岩石磁学特征

本文对发育于花岗岩上的两个亚热带红土剖面进行了系统的岩石磁学研究,测试了磁化率、频率磁化率、等温剩磁、非磁滞剩磁、磁滞回线等常温磁学参数,选取代表性样品进行了高低温岩石磁学分析,拟探讨亚热带红土磁性矿物的特征及湿热环境下土壤中磁性矿物的转化规律。实验结果表明:亚热带红土的强磁性矿物为磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿;弱磁性矿物为赤铁矿和针铁矿,滞水土层中含有纤铁矿。花岗岩具有较强的磁性,在其上发育的红土也因此具有较强的磁性。花岗岩中的亚铁磁性矿物的磁畴以多畴占主导地位,随着风化强度的增强,逐渐形成较细粒的超顺磁与单畴磁性矿物。亚热带红土中的磁赤铁矿与位于半干旱区黄土高原成土作用形成的磁赤铁矿存在着磁学性质上的差异,表现为具有更高的居里点(约600℃和640℃),可能说明亚热带红土中的磁赤铁矿粒径更粗。两个剖面在磁学性质上存在着明显的差异,泉州剖面磁性矿物以磁铁矿为主,磁化率最高可达1823×10~(-8)m~3/kg,平均值为1033.1×10~(-8)m~3/kg,具有较低的剩磁矫顽力;福州剖面磁性矿物以磁铁矿和部分热稳定磁赤铁矿为主,磁化率最高为385.73×10~(-8)m~3/kg,平均值为91.5×10~(-8)m~3/kg。基于磁学参数分析,认为母质与后期成土作用共同造成了两个剖面的磁学性质差异,但后者起主导作用。磁化率在两个剖面中,均随着深度减小而减小,与温带地区表层土磁化率增强有很大区别。湿热环境条件下,强磁性矿物溶解或转化为弱磁性矿物的程度主导剖面磁化率变化。     

黄土高原西部红粘土岩石磁学性质及其指示的亚洲内陆中中新世气候变化特征

对黄土高原西部庄浪红粘土进行详细岩石磁学分析表明,沉积物磁性由磁铁矿和赤铁矿主导,并且含有一定量的磁赤铁矿.中中新世大暖期红粘土中磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿含量显著升高;中中新世大暖期前后红粘土中的磁铁矿含量相对较低,赤铁矿相对含量较高,但并未显示较强的磁赤铁矿信息.磁性矿物的整体粒径表现为以SP,SD和PSD颗粒为主,MD颗粒较少.庄浪红粘土磁化率在16.5 ～ 13.8Ma出现峰值,与当时的夏季风强盛、降水丰富、成壤作用较强造成的亚铁磁性矿物相对含量增加密切相关.在全球气候变暖的中中新世大暖期,综合庄浪岩石磁学特征以及陆地和海洋的其他证据可以推测当时东亚冬、夏季风可能同时增强.     

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.     

Quaternary stresses revealed by calcite twinning inversion: insights from observations in the Savonnières underground quarry (eastern France)

Calcite samples were extracted both from the rock matrix and the superficial coating of a karstified fault plane of an underground quarry, located in the eastern border of the Paris basin. The karstification is dated as Quaternary. Analysis of mechanical calcite twinning reveals that only the calcite matrix has also undergone a compression trending WNW that can be attributed to the Mio-Pliocene alpine collision. Both coating and matrix have undergone a strike-slip regime with σ₁ roughly trending north–south, that could correspond to the regional present-day state of stress, a strike-slip compression rather trending NNW, modified by local phenomena.
