福建新生代玄武岩的特征、起源及其成因探讨

福建沿海与内陆地区新生代玄武岩特征明显不同，为不同期火山活动的产物。通过研究认为：新生代玄武岩浆为上地住源岩部分熔融的产物，接近原始玄武岩浆；该时期，福建境内上地幔在垂直方向上存在着化学成分的不均一性，玄武岩在形成过程中遭受不同程度的地幔交代作用，因而导致其源区的不同富集特征。     

Effect of waves in the redistribution of sediments along the Konkan coast

From the wave refraction diagrams it is delineated that the Jaigad Head and Warori Bluff are the zones of wave energy convergence and the Narvan and Ambwah bays the areas of wave energy divergence. The presence of two distinct mineral phases noticed at the Jaigad, Ambwah and Varvade bays shows that there are two different circulations of sediment movements. The presence of natural barriers restricts the movement of sediment along the coast. The sand bar at the mouth of the Jaigad Bay has different orientations during the monsoon and non-monsoon periods causing obstruction to navigation during the former period.     

Stability analysis of submarine slopes in the area of the test production of gas hydrate in the South China Sea

In this paper, the mechanical properties of gas hydrate-bearing sediments (GHBS) were summarized and the instability mechanism of submarine hydrate-bearing slope (SHBS) was analyzed under the background of the test production of gas hydrate in the northern part of the South China Sea. The strength reduction finite element method (SRFEM) was introduced to the stability analysis of submarine slopes for the safety of the test production. Two schemes were designed to determine the physical and mechanical parameters of four target wells. Through the division of the hydrate dissociation region and the design of four working conditions, the range and degree of hydrate dissociation at different stages during the test production were simulated. Based on the software ABAQUS, 37 FEM models of SHBS were set up to analyze and assess the stability of the submarine slopes in the area of the test production. Necessary information such as safety factors, deformation, and displacement were obtained at different stages and under different working conditions. According to the calculation results, the submarine slope area is stable before the test production, and the safety factors almost remains the same during and after the test production. All these indicate that the test production has no obvious influence on the area of the test production and the submarine slopes in the area are stable during and after the test production.

粒度与岩石流变相关性研究进展

粒度对岩石的粘度、应变率和流变机制及转换具有重要的影响。在相同条件下,粒度越大,粘度越高。在粒度灵敏性变形中,粒度的变化有时对岩石应变率的影响也是显著的。大部分天然岩石是由不同粒度的矿物颗粒组成,不同粒度的颗粒在变形中可能受不同的变形机制控制,包含粒度分布参数的复合流动律改进了人们对天然岩石流变性的认识。岩石的变形过程同时也是粒度的不断修正过程,粒度的演化具有稳态化的趋势。     

Late Cretaceous-Cenozoic history of the Lake Baikal depression and formation of its unique biodiversity

Independent methods of geological and molecular-biological chronologies have made it possible to define generally corresponding stages in the geological and biological evolution of the environments and communities of Lake Baikal since the Late Cretaceous, i.e., during the last 70 myr. All the abiotic elements drastically changed during geological evolution, with destruction of existing and formation of new natural complexes. Nevertheless, some specific zones retained relicts of former settings. The resulting present-day natural complex includes elements of different ages and geneses. Similar to different natural zones of the present-day Earth, which are populated by different biocoenoses, stages in the development of abiotic elements are also characterized by different faunal and floral assemblages. Some taxa were replaced by others, and the resulting aqueous biota of Lake Baikal includes different-age and ecologically different elements. The oldest groups of Baikal organisms appeared approximately 70 Ma ago, although the largest proportion of the lake biota started forming 4–3 Ma ago in response to the most drastic changes in the abiotic elements of the environment. The youngest taxa appeared 1.8 to 0.15 Ma ago, i.e., during the period when superdeep lake environments and mountainous glaciations were developing. The chronological coincidence of main stages in development of abiotic and biotic elements of the nature indicates their relationships. Particular transformations of abiotic elements and the probable mechanism of their influence on the evolution of living communities are also considered.     

南海陆缘伸展破裂过程中的构造迁移和盆地演化

为了阐明南海由陆向洋的过渡带内构造活动的时间 空间迁移过程,本文以两条跨南海东部共轭被动陆缘和南海西南部共轭陆缘的两条长剖面为基础,进行精细的构造解释和分析,在南海洋陆转换带内确定了出Tb、SD、PD和Bi四个一级层序界面,并以这4个一层序界面为界,将南海陆缘划分为：早期断陷盆地(Tb—SD)、晚期拆离盆地(SD—PD)和断坳转换盆地(PD—Bi)。通过对同一剖面不同构造单元带内同构造地层的分析,发现构造活动时代由陆向洋逐渐变年轻;通过对比不同剖面同一构造单元带内的同构造地层发现,构造活动时代沿着海底扩张迁移的方向逐渐变年轻。因此,在南海扩张期间,岩石圈的伸展变形不仅表现为向洋方向的迁移,同时表现为向海底扩张方向的迁移。

Palaeoecological analysis of mammalian faunas and environmental evolution in the South of France during the Pleistocene

The study of mammalian faunas has contributed widely to the knowledge of palaeoenvironments during the Quaternary. The cenogram method, a graphical representation of the mammalian community structure, permits the reconstruction of the environments and the inference of the climatic conditions. This method has the advantage of taking into account all the mammals present in a fossil locality. Applied on several faunas of the South of France, this method shows different phases in the climatic and environmental changes during the Pleistocene. From the setting-up of glacial cycles in the Pleistocene, the conditions become colder and there is an alternation between a rather closed environment during the interglacial periods and a more open landscape during the coldest periods of the Pleistocene.     

构造煤化学结构演化与瓦斯特性耦合机理

煤是对应力和应变非常敏感的一种特殊岩石,在不同的应力-应变环境和构造应力作用下,煤的物理结构、化学结构及其光性特征等都将发生显著变化,从而形成具有不同结构特征的、不同类型的构造煤。构造煤在变形的过程中,镜质组反射率将发生规律性变化,并被较为广泛地应用于煤田构造的定量研究,高温高压变形实验也证实了这一现象。为了深入探讨煤镜质组光性组构变化的微观机理,将X-射线衍射、顺磁共振和核磁共振等技术应用于不同类型构造煤以及高温高压实验变形煤的化学结构研究。研究表明,构造煤化学结构演化与镜质组反射率的演化具有密切的内在联系,镜质组反射率的光性异常是构造煤化学结构演化在物理光学性质上的具体体现。不同类型的构造煤由于物理和化学结构上的不同,导致瓦斯含量和透气性等瓦斯特性上的重大差异,糜棱煤特殊的物理和化学结构决定了其高含气量和低透气性的特征,是矿井瓦斯突出的危险地带,因此,可以通过构造煤分布规律的研究,进行矿井瓦斯富集与突出危险性的评价与预测,为矿井瓦斯灾害的研究提供新的思路和方法。     

Episodic Late Palaeozoic to Cenozoic denudation of the southeastern highlands of Australia: Evidence from the Bogong High Plains,Victoria

The Bogong High Plains of eastern Victoria occur as plateau remnants in a highly dissected region of the Australian Alps. Results from apatite fission track analyses indicate that the Bogong region experienced multiple episodes of rapid low‐temperature cooling, most of which can be tentatively linked to a tectonic cause. Early episodes of cooling occurred during the Middle to Late Devonian (ca 400–370 Ma) and Late Carboniferous to Early Permian (ca 310–290 Ma), presumably during different stages of deformation associated with the development of the Lachlan Fold Belt and glacial erosion. Rapid cooling occurred during the Late Permian to Early Triassic (ca 260–240 Ma), presumably in response to the Hunter‐Bowen orogenic event along the eastern Australian continental margin. Since the Triassic, two major episodes of fault reactivation have further displaced fission track ages between sample groups on different structural blocks. The first episode occurred during the middle Cretaceous at ca 110–90 Ma, probably in response to initial extension and denudation along the eastern Australian passive margin prior to breakup. Subsequently during the Early to mid‐Tertiary at ca 65–45 Ma, large‐scale fault reactivation occurred along the Kiewa Fault, possibly in response to changes in intraplate stresses which occurred during the middle Tertiary.     

New Observations on the Brittle Failure Process of Simulated Crystalline Rocks

A biaxial testing program has been performed to study the process of brittle failure in crystalline rocks. Dental plaster has been selected as a model material, and mixing with different ratios of distilled water, different types of common minerals of crystalline rocks have been simulated in the form of brick-like small elements. These elements have been interlocked together according to four systematic patterns and final specimens with 180 × 180 × 76 mm dimensions have been obtained. Details of different types of cracks observed during loading process, effects of mechanical, geometrical and confining pressure on the cracking intensity, the influence of different types of heterogeneity on the macroscopic properties of a system of interlocked elements, and the sequence of events during the failure process are presented in this paper. Based on these observations, a revised mechanism for brittle failure is proposed.     

Local disequilibrium of plagioclase in high-temperature shear zones of the Ivrea Zone, Italy

Abstract Microstructural and chemical analysis of plagioclase in 20 superficially similar amphibolite facies ductile shear zones in metagabbors and amphibolites of the Ivrea Zone in Italy reveals significant differences in An and Ba contents. Plagioclase, which was deformed at P-T conditions lower than those of the wall rocks, occurs in the following four different microstructural situations with different chemical compositions: (i) relatively undeformed porphyroclasts, (ii) dynamically recrystallized grains and subgrains rimming the porphyroclasts, (iii) infill of microcracks cross-cutting the porphyroclasts and (iv) fine-grained recrystallized grains in the matrix of the shear zones. The differences in the An and Ba contents are caused by partial chemical equilibration of plagioclase in the shear zones during and partly after deformation. Changes in An and Ba contents were caused by fluid-assisted grain-boundary migration recrystallization, as well as by solid-state diffusion, while fluid activity was high. The relation between the composition and microstructures of the plagioclase in the shear zones indicates that in the different shear zones, fluids ceased to be active during different stages in the late shear zone deformation history.
The interpretation of the variations in composition and microstructures reveals that only grains that developed by grain-boundary migration recrystallization and that are not adjacent to porphyroclasts reflect P-T conditions during the dominant shear-zone deformation.     

Use of plants in the European Palaeolithic: A review of the evidence

The varied evidence available for the different uses to which plant materials were put during the European Palaeolithic is summarised. Actual remains of plants are more abundant than is generally realised, while the indirect clues provided by tools, human teeth and artistic depictions help to fill out the picture.     

箕状断陷湖盆不同构造区带成岩作用特征及差异性研究:以东营凹陷沙河街组为例

东营凹陷在沙河街组沉积期为北陡南缓的箕状断陷湖盆,凹陷内可进一步细分为陡坡带、缓坡带、洼陷带及中央背斜带。在沙河街组成岩演化过程中发育了多种类型的成岩作用,主要包括压实作用、压溶作用、溶解作用、胶结作用等。不同构造区带成岩作用具有明显的差异性,具体表现为:压实作用总体表现为早期压实影响较大,后期较小,但不同构造区带差异明显;胶结作用在不同构造区带碳酸盐胶结胶物含量不同。不同粘土矿物在不同构造区带含量及转化深度不同;溶蚀作用在不同构造区带发育深度不同,从而导致次生孔隙带发育深度均明显不同。不同构造区带成岩作用的差异性导致不同构造区带成岩相带类型、特征不同。详细研究这种差异性对于寻找岩性油气藏具有重要的理论价值和实际意义。

Early Cretaceous sea level fluctuations in the eastern part of the East European Platform

The quantitative sea-level curve in the eastern part of the East European Platform during the Early Cretaceous first compiled for this region is based on the results of analysis of the corresponding deposits and the bathymetric distribution of benthic foraminifers in their sections. This quantitative curve is correlated with the sea-level curve constructed for central areas of the East European Platform [9]. According to [9], the basin in the central part of the platform was as deep as 110 m, while in its eastern areas the depth amounted to 350 m. It is revealed that tectono-eustatic cycles defined previously in the central part of the platform and cycles (megasequences) in its eastern areas are asynchronous and are characterized by different orders. Such asynchrony is determined by the different tectonic trends in these regions during the Early Cretaceous.     

The response of subaqueous dunes to floods in sand and gravel bed reaches of the Dutch Rhine

Abstract The branches of the River Rhine in the Netherlands, characterized by a sand–gravel bed in the upstream part and a sand bed in the downstream part of the river system, show migrating dunes, especially during floods. In the last 20 years, these dunes have been studied extensively. High-resolution echo-sounding measurements of these dunes, made with single and multibeam equipment, were analysed for three different sections of the Rhine river system during several floods. This analysis was done to quantify the growth, decay and migration rates of the dunes during floods. In addition, the migrating dunes were used to calculate bedload transport rates with dune tracking. The results of dune growth and decay and migration rate are shown to be very different for the various sections during the various floods, and these differences are related to differences in grain size of the bed and to differences in the distribution of discharge over the main channel and the floodplain. The relations are used to show that the growth and migration rate of dunes, and the calculated bedload transport rates during the rising stage of a flood wave can be predicted from the mobility of the bed material with simple power relations.
