青藏高原北部柴达木块体晚二叠世古地磁结果及其构造意义

通过对柴达木地块天峻县组合玛地区晚二叠世13个采点的系统古地磁测定,揭示了一组高温特征剩磁分量.实验结果表明,采样剖面获得的晚二叠世古地磁结果具有正、反极性,其特征剩磁方向为:Dg=333.7°,Ig=37.3°,Kg=35.4,N=9,α95 =8.8;Ds=333.9°,Is=41.7°,Ks=69.9,α95 =6.2°,相对应的古地磁极位置为:64.0°N,342.4°E,A95=5.9°,古纬度为24.0°N.这一高温分量通过了倒转检验,我们认为这一高温特征剩磁分量很可能代表了研究区晚二叠世时期的原生特征剩磁.通过对比塔里木地块晚石炭-晚二叠世古地磁结果,发现两块体在晚石炭世存在明显的古纬度差(16.6±9.3°),而在晚二叠世其古纬度差(3.5±5.4°)在古地磁误差范围内并没有明显差别,从构造意义上说,说明柴达木地块在晚二叠世已是塔里木地块的一部分,结合地质资料,认为柴达木地块在晚二叠世时古地理位置处于塔里木地块的南缘或西南缘,这表明柴达木/塔里木地块间的古阿尔金断裂的形成时代不可能早于晚石炭世时,很可能形成于晚二叠世以后.     

青藏高原拉萨地块早白垩纪火山岩古地磁结果及其构造意义

对青藏高原拉萨地块早白垩纪火山岩15个采点的古地磁测定,揭示了一组高温特征剩磁分量.实验结果表明采样剖面获得的早白垩统卧荣沟组的古地磁结果全部为正极性,显示与早白垩纪正极性超静带的极性特征相似.对岩石的显微镜观察表明岩石未受后期热液化学交代作用和风化作用,这表明所获得的高温分量很可能代表岩石形成时的原生剩磁.其特征剩磁方向为:偏角D=18.4°,倾角I=26.5°,α95=8.6°;相应的极位置为:经度ψp=220.3°E,纬度λp=66.4°N,dp=9.3°,dm=6.9°,古纬度plat=14.0°.通过对比拉萨地块以北诸地块早白垩纪古地磁结果,认为拉萨地块在早白垩纪已与芜塘地块碰撞拼合在一起,而自早白垩纪以来相对欧亚大陆发生了1500±600km的构造缩短.结合拉萨地块已有的晚白垩纪和古新纪古地磁数据,认为欧亚大陆的最南缘(拉萨地块)在印度/欧亚大陆发生碰撞前自早白垩纪一始新纪一直处于北纬12.8°～14°N低纬度位置,并未发生明显的纬向运动.     

内蒙古中部晚石炭世—早二叠世古地磁新数据及其地质意义

对采自内蒙古苏尼特左旗白音乌拉乡晚石炭世—早二叠世宝力高庙组和敖汉旗安庆沟乡晚石炭世酒局子组的凝灰岩和凝灰质砂岩开展了古地磁学研究。宝力高庙组和酒局子组样品退磁特征表明,高温剩磁分量均以赤铁矿为主要载磁矿物,可能携带了岩石形成时期的特征剩磁分量。层面校正后2个组平均特征剩磁分量分别为:D=159.3°,I=-33.1°,α95=8.7°;D=328.8°,I=31.3°,α95=5.7°。这反映了内蒙古中部晚石炭世—早二叠世位于北纬17°—18°N。将所获得的古地磁结果与已发表的相邻地区古地磁数据进行比较,并结合古生物、古气候等地质数据,推测晚石炭世—早二叠世时内蒙古中部与华北地块关系密切,距离较近,而远离西伯利亚地块,内蒙古中部晚石炭世—早二叠世时可能是华北地块的组成部分。     

塔里木地块上石炭统的古地磁研究

本文对塔里木地块西北缘柯坪地区的3条上石炭统康克林组剖面进行了古地磁研究。95个定向岩心样品的逐步热退磁和交变退磁揭示出3个磁性组分,第一个是具有低解阻温度谱或低矫顽力谱在现代地磁场作用下形成的粘滞剩磁A(D=10°;I=56°,α95=4°);第二个是红色石英砂岩的具有反极性的高温组分B(D=217°,I=-43°,λ=56°,Φ=184°E;A25=6°详细研究表明,该分量受附近晚二叠世脉岩侵入的重磁化;第三个是灰岩高矫顽力谱的反极性组分C（D=241°、I=-51°,λ=41°N,Φ=160°E,A（?）=4°）。这一分量通讨倾斜检验,在95%概率水平上明显不同于塔里木地块目前已有的石炭纪以后的古地磁方向,它代表了原生剩磁。研究结果表明:（1）晚石炭世塔里木地块已和哈萨克斯坦地块、苏联西天山地块以及西伯利亚地块发生碰撞:（2）苏联西天山地块相对塔里木地块曾逆时针旋转了70°（欧拉极位置λ=8°N,Φ=69°E）,而塔里木地块则相对西伯利亚地块逆时计旋转了21°（欧拉极位置λ=20°N,Φ=34°E）。从该区已有的晚古生代至早三叠世占地磁数据看,这些地块之间的相对旋转运动发生于早三叠世之后。     

甘肃玉门地区二叠系-三叠系古地磁研究

玉门大山口白杨河一带古地磁研究结果:下二叠统的特征磁化方向为Ds=108.1°,Is=-46.1°;极点位置为λ=30.5°N,ψ=18.6°;古纬度为27.6°N.上二叠统的特征磁化方向为Ds=139.4°,Is=-47.4°;极点位置为λ=54.7N,ψ=359.9°;古纬度为28.2°N;下三叠统的特征磁化方向为Ds=150.8°,Is=-48.1°;极点位置为λ=63.7°N,ψ=351.1°;古纬度为29.1°N.说明二叠纪玉门地区所在的阿拉善地块已是华北地块的一部分,晚二叠世-早三叠世华北地块大体处于吐哈地块和华南地块之间,与俄罗斯地块的古纬度相近;华北、吐鲁番-哈密和塔里木地块都大体位于劳亚大陆的东南部.     

羌塘地块西部晚三叠世灰岩古地磁研究及其构造意义

青藏高原羌塘地块和拉萨地块汇聚-碰撞拼合过程的研究对认识青藏高原中部隆升历史及其动力学过程具有重要的科学意义,而羌塘地块古地磁研究对理解上述问题至关重要。通过对羌塘地块西部改则地区晚三叠世灰岩的系统古地磁测定,获得其高温剩磁分量。但是这一高温剩磁分量未通过褶皱检验,表明为后期重磁化的结果。研究剖面高温特征剩磁平均方向在地理坐标下为Dg=349.3°,Ig=40.4°,κg=45.4,α95=6.5°,相应的古地磁极为76.4°N,311.1°E,dp/dm=4.7°/7.9°。这一古地磁极与羌塘地块早白垩世约110～100 Ma的古地磁极在古地磁误差范围内重合,表明其重磁化的时代为早白垩世约110～100 Ma。综合分析羌塘地块和拉萨地块古地磁结果,并结合海相地层、蛇绿岩和洋岛等地质证据,显示班公湖-怒江特提斯洋西段闭合的时间发生在早白垩世晚期约110～100Ma。改则地区晚三叠世灰岩的早白垩世晚期重磁化作用与羌塘/拉萨地块西部的碰撞密切相关。     

柴达木地块早奥陶世古地理位置的古地磁学约束

柴达木地块早古生代古地理位置和构造归属长期存在争议.前人根据沉积地层和古生物资料认为柴达木地块早奥陶世位于赤道附近的低纬度地区,但是这种定性认识还缺少古地磁学的定量证据.本次研究对柴达木地块欧龙布鲁克地区下奥陶统多泉山组灰岩开展了古地磁学研究,通过系统热退磁获得了8个采点的高温特征剩磁分量,其构造校正后的古地磁平均方向为Ds=345.3°,Is=-14.5°,κs=54.8,α95=7.5°.这一高温特征剩磁分量远离现代地磁场方向,且所有样品的特征剩磁分量均为反极性,其单一反极性特点与全球奥陶纪磁性地层研究确定的早奥陶世反向极性期相吻合,本文认为这一高温特征剩磁分量很可能代表了研究剖面早奥陶世时期的原生剩磁.根据奥陶纪地磁极性特征,确定柴达木地块早奥陶世的古地磁极位置为-43.4°N/116.9°E(dp/dm=3.9°/7.7°),相应的古纬度为7.4°N±5.5°(参考点:37.2°N/96.6°E),表明柴达木地块在早奥陶世位于赤道附近的低纬度位置.综合古生物和沉积学资料,提出柴达木地块早奥陶世可能处于华南地块北部,冈瓦纳古大陆澳大利亚陆块西北的古地理位置.     

塔里木地块晚新元古代古地理位置的古地磁新制约

塔里木地块新元古代的古地理位置一直都存在争议。本文对新疆阿克苏地区晚新元古代苏盖特布拉克组上亚组两个剖面286块古地磁样品进行了系统古地磁学研究,从151个样品中分离获得了三个剩磁组分。其中,中温组分未通过褶皱检验,为新生代的重磁化结果;高温特征剩磁组分HTC1和HTC2均通过了褶皱检验,且HTC1组分还在95%置信水平上通过了倒转检验。但HTC2组分对应古地磁极落在塔里木地块晚泥盆世—中石炭世古地磁极之间,而HTC1对应古地磁极,λp/φp=4. 5°S/93. 0°E（dp/dm=7. 6°/9. 9°）显著区别于塔里木显生宙以来的古地磁极。为此,我们将HTC1组分解释为岩石形成时期获得的原生剩磁;根据砂岩碎屑锆石测年结果,其年龄为~588 Ma。结合地质和地球化学资料以及邻近陆块的古地磁数据,我们认为塔里木地块在新元古代很可能位于Rodinia超大陆的外围,澳大利亚 东南极板块的西北缘;在Rodinia超大陆的裂解过程中,随着原特提斯洋的扩张不断向西北方向漂移,直到~580 Ma完全裂离于澳大利亚古陆。     

新疆北部古地磁研究

通过和布克赛尔、克拉玛依、玛纳斯—乌鲁木齐地区泥盆纪到白垩纪古地磁研究,主要取得以下结果:(1)首次建立了准噶尔西北缘及南缘石炭纪—白垩纪古地磁极移曲线,由石炭纪到二叠纪的古地磁极位置基本在同一区间,说明该时期这些地区为一个统一的构造单元,而其古地磁极明显与塔里木、哈萨克斯坦、西伯利亚地块存在着差异。(2)该地区侏罗纪及白垩纪古地磁结果与塔里木地块结果一致,侏罗纪乌鲁木齐与和布克赛尔磁偏角相差30°左右,说明和布克赛尔地区相对乌鲁木齐地区逆时针旋转了30°左右,晚古生代以后曾发生过南向移动,而侏罗、白垩纪以来均向北发生了相当规模的北向运动,并发生了相对旋转,目前东、西准噶尔的构造格局可能就是由于局部相对旋转造成的。(3)中国大陆在早二叠世还不是一个联合的整体,而是以相互分离的独立块体分布于45°N—15°S的古特提斯洋中。(4)该地区二叠纪的磁偏角为165°—168°,而塔里木为218°,哈萨克斯坦为229°,说明存在35°—55°的逆时针旋转,这个旋转可能是由于西部推覆构造造成的。如果将西准噶尔超基性岩带顺时针旋转35°—55°后,东准噶尔超基性岩带、西准噶尔超基性岩带和斋桑泊—鲁布佐夫斯克超基性岩带应在同一构造带上。(5)该地区晚古生代古纬度变化不明显,位于30°—45     

塔里木地块北部二叠-三叠系的磁性地层学研究

通过对塔里木地块北部的一套二叠-三叠纪地层的古地磁研究,确认了石炭-二叠纪反极性超带的上界。这一界线为在中国和世界范围进行二叠-三叠系层序的对比提供了一个重要的标志。同时给出了塔里木地块二叠-三叠纪的古地磁极位置为71.8°N,187.6°E。通过与中国和亚洲相邻地块的同一时期极位置的对比指出,当时塔里木地块与中朝地块还相隔甚远,而与哈萨克斯坦地块已很接近,但尚未完全拼合在一起。     

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.
