A New Female Cone, Araucaria beipoiaoensis sp. nov. from the Middle Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation, Beipiao, Western Liaoning, China and Its Evolutionary Significance

A new species of Araucaria, Araucaria beipiaoensis sp. nov., collected from the Middle Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation, southern hill of Shebudai village, near Beipiao city, western Liaoning is based on a permineralized female cone, which is ovate to elliptical in shape, about 11 cm × 7 cm × 4.5 cm in size. The cone bears rhomboid bracts that are spirally attached, texture thicker, with wings on both sides, with a detached lamina-like apex at the tip. In inner structure the ovuliferous scales are thicker and fused with bracts at the end with a ligular sulcns. There is one wingless ovule/seed per seed-scale complex embedded in the ovuliferous scale tissue, with the micropyle directed toward the cone axis. The ovules/seeds are long ovate or elliptical in shape, 1 cm long and near the base about 3 mm in diameter; the ovule/seed integuments have begun differentiation into 3 layers： the sarcotesta, sclerotesta, and endotesta. The nucellus is free from the enclosing integuments except in the chalazal region where it is fused to the inner layer （endotesta） of integument. Some ovules show cellularized nucellar tissue. Mature seeds exhibit the papery-thin wavy nucellus characteristically near to the micropyle. The embryonic tissue appears to be four cotyledons. The morphology and structure of the cone shows a close relationship to the araucarian cones of fossil and living genera but differs from any known species. The new species is distributed in the Middle Jurassic of the northern hemisphere, especially Asia, and has important significance for the evolution of the Family Araucariaceae.     

Mesoproterozoic Continental Arc Type Granite in the Central Tianshan Mountains: Zircon SHRIMP U-Pb Dating and Geochemical Analyses

The Central Tianshan belt in northwestern China is a small Precambrian block located in the southern part of the Central Asia Orogenic Belt （CAOB）, which is considered as ＂the most voluminous block of young continental crust in the world＂ that comprises numerous small continental blocks separated by Paleozoic magmatic arcs. The Precambrian basement of the central Tianshan Mountains is composed of volcanic rocks and associated volcano-sedimentary rocks that were intruded by granitic plutons. Geochemical analyses demonstrate that the granitic plutons and volcanic rocks were generated in the Andean-type active continental arc environment like today＇s Chile, and the zircon U-Pb SHRIMP dating indicates that they were developed at about 956 Ma, possibly corresponding to the subduction of the inferred Mozambique Ocean under the Baltic-African super-continent.     

RBF网络在地质样品非线性基体效应校正中的应用

基于RBF(Radial Basis Function)网络的正交最小平方算法,对攀枝花地质样品进行动态非线性基体效应校正.首先采用EDXRF仪器对样品进行测量,并对样品的荧光计数进行归一化,设计出自动分类模型和动态非线性数据基体效应校正模型的二级串联结构,用自组织神经网络(SOFM)进行分类,然后用RBF网络预测了未知样品元素Ti的百分含量.结果表明:对所预测样本的Ti的百分含量与化学分析相比的误差均小于0.5%.由此可见,用RBF方法可以有效地对地质样品进行非线性基体效应校正,能够达到工矿生产的要求.     

中伊朗盆地Garmsar区块Qom组沉积微相及储层特征研究

伊朗Garmsar区块Qom组形成于碳酸盐岩台地沉积环境,岩性以生物屑灰岩、含砂生物屑灰岩、泥晶灰岩为主,是典型的裂缝~孔隙型储层。利用区内野外实测剖面资料和露头岩样测试资料,对Qom组沉积相进行标识及类型划分,并对Qom组沉积微相及其平面展布特征进行分析,指出了该区域开阔台地相~高能红藻滩微相和局限台地相~泻湖夹台内滩微相是研究区储层发育的有利部位。F段中部的粒内溶孔较为发育,而溶缝主要出现在C1、C3亚段,整个Qom组构造微裂缝不甚发育。但储层孔渗条件比较差,属于中~低孔、低渗~特低渗储层,且存在严重的不均一性。为此,从沉积相与储层特征角度研究认为,中伊朗盆地Garmsar区块Qom组油气勘探存在一定的风险。
