钙质成岩作用对有孔虫氧同位素的影响

通过对南海北部ODPl84航次1148站井深477m之下深海相渐新世浮游有孔虫Globoquadrina压扁壳、次生方解石和充填壳的氧同位素对比，定量分析了钙质成岩作用对壳体氧同位素的影响，结果发现，受成岩作用影响，1148站浮游有孔虫氧同位素显著变轻，这种变化趋势与低纬度开放性大洋明显不同。其原因可能与南海海盆扩张早期，大量陆源物质从较窄陆架可以直接沉积到海底，由于陆源物质氧同位素相对偏负，当与海洋沉积物混合后，引起本区沉积物孔隙水氧离子浓度变轻。而扩张初始，高的沉积速率可能使钙质壳体被快速封存在一个相对孤立的系统中，造成孔隙水离子成为影响壳体氧同位素变化的主要因素。当氧同位素相对较重的有孔虫壳体溶解和重结晶并与孔隙水离子发生交换时，引起壳体δ^18O负向偏移。     

A STUDY OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF RECENT OSTRACOD FAUNAS FROM COASTAL AREAS OF THE EAST CHINA AND YELLOW SEAS

A total of 91 species belonging to 57 genera were recovered from the coastal areas of the north East China Sea ana the south Yellow Sea, of which, 42 species of 30 genera were collected alive. The biocoenoses of estuaries, supralittoral and eulittoral zones are dominated by orackish and euryhaline species, of which Albileberis sheyangensis, A. sinensis, Leptocythere ventriclivosa, Loxoconcha ocellata, Sinocytheridea latiotata and S. longa are ubiquitous; Propontocypris euryhalina, Spinileberis furuyaensis and S. pulchra are restricted to the supralittoral zone; Neomonoceratina crispata and Pontocythere lit-toralis are only present in the eulittoral zone. The community structure of these biocoenoses is generally marked by low snecies diversity (H(S) and 5) and high incidence and dominance. Among the environmental factors investigated, it was found that salinity was the most important in controlling the distribution of living ostracods, and high-energy hydrodynamic condition was the main cause of the grea     

东海、黄海海岸带现代介形虫分布的研究

东海、黄海海岸带现代介形虫计有57属91种,其中活介形虫30属43种,本文从属种组成和群落结构(数量丰度、优势度、分异度)等方面对滨岸淡水、潮上带半咸水、潮间带、河口区和潮下带等不同环境中的生物群和埋葬群进行了系统描述,并探讨了温度、盐度、底质和水动力条件等环境因素对介形虫分布的控制作用,指出盐度是影响生物群分布的首要因素,高能的水动力条件是造成砂质潮间带和河口区埋葬群明显不同于生物群的主要原因。     

探索墨西哥湾深水沉积的超高压和流体流动过程与机理--IODP308航次钻探成果

墨西哥湾深水区发育有典型的浊流沉积，长期以来就以独特的被动边缘浊积类型闻名于世。由密西西比河带来的大量碎屑物在河口外形成巨厚泥砂层，快速沉积造成上陆坡特别不稳定，所以塌坡或崩塌事件经常发生，引起迭繁的浊流活动。松散的浅水碎屑物往往随浊流被搬运到陆坡或更深的深水区，造成大规模的再沉积。塌坡事件及其引发的浊流活动存在较大的随机性及其对沉积物造成的分选性，直接控制了墨西哥湾深水区沉积物中的流体流动以至油气生成，使其成为目前世界上富含油气的三大海区之一。但沉积砂层所伴生的超高压常常造成“井喷”，使油气探采难度加大，成本增高，连年来使有关石油公司损失惨重，也给科学界提出了急需解决的科学问题。为什么墨西哥湾深水区超高压现象这么普通？超高压区的流体流动规律有什么特征？它受什么机理控制？浊流沉积跟气候变化有联系吗？是否受冰期／间冰期旋回的影响？     

渐新世/中新世分界的地层学事件

介绍渐新世/中新世分界面(即古近纪/新近纪分界面)附近的浮游有孔虫和钙质超微化石事件及其新年龄。2004年国际地层年代表确定该分界面位于第58长偏心率周期弱振幅处,古地磁事件C6Cn.2n底面,经天文调谐后的年龄为23.03 Ma。发生在该界面附近的生物地层学事件主要是浮游有孔虫Paragloborotalia kugleri的始现面(22.96 Ma)和钙质超微化石Sphenolithus delphix的末现面(23.11 Ma)。在南海北部东沙群岛附近的大洋钻探ODP1148站,渐新世/中新世界面以崩塌沉积物为特征,有明显沉积间断,标志南海当时有较大范围的构造运动。     

ODP 1144站钻孔沉积物中微玻璃陨石的元素地球化学特征

利用电子探针和激光探针等离子体质谱方法分析了取自南海北部的ODP1144钻孔沉积物中的微玻璃陨石和取自邻近的广东省湛江和吴川玻璃陨石的主元素和微量元素组成。结果显示，这些微玻璃陨石属于亚洲-澳大利亚散落区的普通微玻璃陨石。从成分上看，这些微玻璃陨石存在两种不同的类型，其中的绝大部分Al2O3含量在19.0%以上，属于高Al类型，相应的难熔微量元素含量也比较高；个别微玻璃陨石Al2O3含量（13.0%)和难熔微量元素含量较低，微量元素含量和特征比值都与邻近的广东省湛江和吴川的玻璃陨石相近。元素地球化学特征意味着，这些微玻璃陨石来源于同一靶源区，但靶区的物质组成并不均一。     

从化石群及壳体同位素看古近纪东营湖湖水化学

从“海源陆生化石”、壳体O、C和S同位素等几个新的角度和方法对山东东营凹陷古近纪古湖泊湖水化学性质进行讨论。通过与现生“海源陆生生物”的比较，得出原先认为是“海相”标志的有孔虫、钙质超微化石、沟鞭藻和疑源类、多毛类和钱等实际上是“海源陆生化石”，它们生活以在Cl^-和Na^ 为主的咸水湖泊环境。超微化石S同位素分析表明，渐新世与始新世钙质超微化石的^87Sr/^86Sr比值都明显高于同时期海水的^87Sr/^86Sr比值，而与现代河、湖水的^87Sr/^86Sr比值相近，进一步揭示它们生活的环境不是海，而是与海无关的湖。介形虫壳体O、C同位素分析则表明，古东营湖是一封闭型咸水湖泊，从另一角度也否定了与海连通的可能性。根据不同层段同位素特征讨论了湖水矿化度的相对变化。     

中更新世气候转型时期南海生态环境的南北差异

中更新世气候转型在南海浮游有孔虫、氧同位素和其它生物记录上主要反映在900 ka BP前后发生高频率变化，特别是指示表层水骤然降温。北部冬季表层水温从24~25℃降至17~28℃，而南部也从26~27℃降至23~24℃。总的降温趋势与开放西太平洋一致，直接反映了西太平洋暖池在900 ka BP之后MIS22期间有明显的减弱。表层水大幅度降温还发生在后继的MIS 20、18、16几大冰期，说明主要冰期旋回周期由41 ka转变为100 ka经历了长达400 ka的过渡时期，并且冬季风增强也在过渡时期的后半段最明显。南海南北生物组合和δ18O值的差异，突出了中更新世气候转型期边缘海区南北气候梯度反差和冬季风在冰期增强的讯号。结论是：生态环境系统反应总体表现与冰期旋回一致的同时，还包含了独特的地区性系统演变特征。但是，南海—西太平洋地区在0.9 Ma BP前后表层海水盐度因东亚冬季风和海平面下降的定量变化，以及这些变化对气候转型时期海—气耦合过程和生态环境系统的影响，尚缺乏足够的资料和证据。     

东海内陆架泥质沉积区全新世古环境变迁:有孔虫证据

对东海内陆架MD06-3040柱状样257个沉积物样品进行了有孔虫及其氧碳稳定同位素分析,应用底栖有孔虫组合和不同生态(表生/内生、内陆架/中外陆架)种的丰度,浮游有孔虫Globigerina.bulloides和Globigeri-noides.ruber的丰度及其稳定同位素记录,探讨了研究区全新世10.6cal.kaBP以来的古环境变迁。分析结果揭示了研究区全新世早期海面快速上升,沉积环境由滨岸内陆架(10.6～9.9cal.kaBP)、内陆架外缘(9.9～8.1cal.kaBP)转变至中陆架并达全新世最高海面(7.7～7.2cal.kaBP)。台湾暖流在8.0cal.kaBP起开始发育,并在6.0～2.8和0.7～0cal.kaBP两个时期派生出明显的上升流。台湾暖流及其所派生的上升流是造成东海陆架泥质快速沉积的最主要原因。采用浮游有孔虫G.bulloides的丰度变化,推测浙闽沿岸流在5.1cal.kaBP之前较弱,之后显著增强,其中在5.1～2.8cal.kaBP时期最为强盛。     

Deepwater Ventilation and Stratification in the Neogene South China Sea

Combined data of physical property, benthic foraminifera, and stable isotopes from ODP Sites 1148, 1146, and 1143 are used to discuss deep water evolution in the South China Sea (SCS) since the Early Miocene. The results indicate that 3 lithostratigraphic units, respectively corresponding to 21-17 Ma, 15-10 Ma, and 10-5 Ma with positive red parameter (a*) marking the red brown sediment color represent 3 periods of deep water ventilation. The first 2 periods show a closer link to contemporary production of the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) and Northern Component Water (NCW), indicating a free connection of deep waters between the SCS and the open ocean before 10 Ma. After 10 Ma, red parameter dropped but stayed higher than the modern value (a*=0), the CaCO3 percentage difference between Site 1148 from a lower deepwater setting and Site 1146 from an upper deepwater setting enlarged significantly, and benthic species which prefer oxygen-rich bottom conditions dramatically decreased. Coupled with a major negative excursion of benthic δ13C at ~10 Ma, these parameters may denote a weakening in the control of the SCS deep water by the open ocean. Probably they mark the birth of a local deep water due to shallow waterways or rise of sill depths during the course of sea basin closing from south to east by the west-moving Philippine Arc after the end of SCS seafloor spreading at 16-15 Ma. However, it took another 5 Ma before the dissolved oxygen approached close to the modern level. Although the oxygen level continued to stabilize, several Pacific Bottom Water (PBW) and Pacific Deep Water (PDW) marker species rapidly increased since ~6 Ma, followed by a dramatic escalation in planktonic fragmentation which indicates high dissolution especially after ~5 Ma. The period of 5-3 Ma saw the strongest stratified deepwater in the then SCS, as indicated by up to 40% CaCO3 difference between Sites 1148 and 1146. Apart from a strengthening PDW as a result of global cooling and ice cap buildup on northern high latitudes, a deepening sea basin due to stronger subduction eastward may also have triggered the influx of more corrosive waters from the deep western Pacific. Since 3 Ma, the evolution of the SCS deep water entered a modern phase, as characterized by relative stable 10% CaCO3 difference between the two sites and increase in infaunal benthic species which prefer a low oxygenated environment. Thesubsequent reduction of PBW and PDW marker species at about 1.2 Ma and 0.9 Ma and another significant negative excursion of benthic δ13C to a Neogene minimum at ~0.9 Ma together convey a clear message that the PBW largely disappeared and the PDW considerably weakened in the Mid-Pleistocene SCS. Therefore, the true modern mode SCS deep water started to form only during the "Mid-Pleistocene climatic transition" probably due to the rise of sill depths under the Bashi Strait.
