The Neogene and Lower Pleistocene crags of Upper Normandy: Biostratigraphic revision and paleogeographic implications

The biostratigraphic revision of the benthic foraminifera present in the coastal Cenozoic quartzose and shelly sands (crags) at Fécamp and Valmont (Seine-Maritime) reveals Early Pliocene (Fécamp) and Early Pleistocene (Valmont) ages. The Tortonian-Messinian thanatocœnosis contained in the Fécamp Crag shows the presence of a former bryozoan-rich platform on the floor of the Channel that was reworked during the Lower Pliocene transgression. Tortonian-Messinian and Lower Pliocene deposits have been found in Belgium, England, Brittany, and at Fécamp, but are absent in Cotentin (North-West Normandy), which was uplifted at this period. The Lower Pleistocene tidal sands and crags described in Cotentin, Upper Normandy and the southern North Sea Basin indicate a marine passage between the Channel and the North Sea.

Chemical optical emission spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence analysis, and inductively coupled plasmas atomic emission spectrometry analyses of 22 elements and chemical compositions of 21 samples from coal-bearing strata from the Late Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic show Pt and Pd concentrated to some extent in coal rocks, with Pd/Pt相似文献   

Tertiary Calcareous Nannofossil Biostratigraphy in the North Part of the South China Sea

The marine Tertiary sequence in the north part of the South China Sea may be divided into 18 LateOligocene to Pliocene calcareous nannofossil zones and one unnamed Eocene assemblage based on an analysisof calcareous nannofossils from 40 offshore boreholes. The unnamed Eocene assemblage has been found onlyon the northeast margin of the Zhujiangkou basin. The 18 cakareous nannofossil zones of the Late Oligoceneto Pliocene were deposited in succession, but their development degrees are different. Among the 18 calcareousnannofossil zones, those corresponding to Martini's (1971) NN4- NN5 zones, NN11 zone and NN13-NN15zones are well developed, relatively persistent laterally and also widely distributed. They are the importantmarkers for the stratigraphical subdivision and correlation of the Upper Tertiary between the various basins inthe north part of the South China Sea. Based on the calcareous nannofossils and the sedimentsry features coup-led with the foraminifer zonation in certain basins, the present paper discusses the sedimentary characteristicsof the marine Tertiary and as well as the distribution and development of the sedimentary hiatus in the region.The calcareous nannofossil markers for the Upper / Lower Tertiary and the Quaternary / Tertiary boundaries,and the characteristics and geological significance of the reworked calcareous nannofossils are also discussed inthe paper.     

Genetic characterization of gas shows in the east Mediterranean offshore of southwestern Israel

Drilling in the eastern continental margin of the Levant Basin (southeastern Mediterranean), offshore southwestern Israel encountered light oil shows, numerous vertically stacked gas pockets and, more recently, commercial gas discoveries. Chemical and stable isotopic compositions obtained for 24 gas samples from Middle Jurassic to Pliocene reservoir rocks suggest that they represent a few genetic systems which are distributed vertically in the section in accordance with the stratigraphy. These groups include bacterial gas in the Pliocene, a mixture of bacterial and thermogenic gas in the Lower Cretaceous, and thermogenic gas in the Jurassic section. The bacterial gases in the Pliocene and the Lower Cretaceous appear not to be cogenetic, and likewise the thermogenic gas in the Lower Cretaceous and the Jurassic sections. Excluding one case, where the thermogenic gas appears to represent phase separation from a probably cogenetic light oil, the relationship of either the bacterial or other thermogenic gas samples to particular potential source rocks in the section or to light oil shows encountered in the Middle Jurassic section is at this stage inconclusive.

Allometry in the pliocene bivalveAstarte omalii: A new look at an old data set

The relationships between ontogeny and phylogeny have been studied for the bivalve Astarte omaliifrom the Lower, Middle, and Upper Pliocene of Belgium using canonical variates analysis, principal components in the form of multivariate allometry, and bivariate power functions or allometric equations. The results indicate that the three samples represent segments of a single evolutionary lineage which is characterized mainly by paedomorphosis where adult descendants are similar to juvenile ancestors. Recapitulation or peramorphosis is only observed for a single parameter. The Lower and Middle Pliocene samples are considered as Astarte omalii omalii,whereas the Upper Pliocene specimens are placed in A. omalii basteroti.The evolutionary trends most likely reflect changes in the living positions of the bivalves.

大连骆驼山地点真枝角鹿的新材料及其意义

2013年以来在辽宁大连骆驼山金远洞堆积(39°23'59.01"N,121°41'20.28"E)进行的系统发掘出土了大量的哺乳动物化石。最近从偶蹄类化石中鉴定出泥河湾期动物群的典型成员布氏真枝角鹿(Eucladoceros boulei)的头骨等材料。金远洞标本角柄粗短,角柄在额骨上向上、外侧方向生长,角枝长而弯曲;头骨额部宽而平,上颌骨高;颊齿齿冠高度中等偏低,上前臼齿舌侧主尖具釉质褶,P2和P3具明显的内中凹,上臼齿具内附尖(底柱),p4没有臼齿化迹象,下臼齿无古鹿褶,但具下外附尖(底柱)。布氏真枝角鹿的产出层位集中在下更新统,因此是早更新世动物群的代表。布氏真枝角鹿以前主要见于华北,向南可达安徽。大连金远洞标本的发现说明这个种的地理分布范围可以到达东北,但从整体看仍是北方动物群的成员。布氏真枝角鹿与欧洲维拉方期的真枝角鹿在形态上有一定的相似性,说明在早更新世期间欧亚大陆的东西两侧存在过动物群的交流。布氏真枝角鹿高度偏低的齿冠指示其食嫩叶的食性,说明在早更新世期间大连金远洞一带很可能存在一定范围的阔叶林环境。     

Spit-platform temperate carbonates: the origin of landward-downlapping beds along a basin margin (Lower Pliocene, Carboneras Basin, SE Spain)

ABSTRACT Lower Pliocene temperate carbonates exhibit landward‐downlapping beds at the southern margin of the Carboneras Basin in south‐eastern Spain. This rarely documented stratal geometry resulted from the accumulation of bedded bioclastic carbonate sand and gravel by longshore currents along a spit platform located a few hundred metres from the palaeoshoreline. The top of the spit platform was covered by shoals that extended over a gently dipping ramp inclined to the north. On the landward slope of the spit, sediments washed over from the shoal area were deposited in parallel‐laminated beds with a southward dip of 8–11°. These beds aggraded and retrograded after an increase in accommodation space, probably related to an Early Pliocene eustatic sea‐level rise. As a result, the beds downlap onto the underlying unconformity surface in a shoreward direction. Eventually, the depression between the shoreline and the spit platform was filled, and a gentle ramp became established. These Pliocene exposures in the Carboneras Basin and a similar Upper Miocene example in southern Spain suggest that landward‐downlapping stratal geometries can be expected in nearshore temperate carbonates along basin margins, and demonstrate a similarity in sedimentary dynamics to siliciclastic sands and gravels.     

内蒙古多伦环形影像的成因探讨

多伦环形影像位于内蒙古自治区东南与河北省交界处，环形影像完整，直径约70km。对其成因以往主要有陨石冲击和中生代古火山机构两种认识。系统的1：5万区域地质调查表明，环形凹槽主要被第四系沉积物覆盖，局部有上新世玄武岩出露，其下隐伏有大量白垩纪粗安岩和上新世玄武岩。环边发育不同方向的区域断裂。环内、外由前寒武纪变质岩系、中新元古界、下二叠统和中生代火山—沉积岩系组成，不同时代的地质体完整、层序清楚。中生代火山岩是一系列中心式或裂隙一中心式火山喷发作用的产物。因此，笔者认为多伦环是早白垩世以来深部岩浆作用与区域断裂共同作用的结果。     

Sedimentary patterns and geometries of the Bahamian outer carbonate ramp (Miocene–Lower Pliocene, Great Bahama Bank)

Core, logging and high-resolution seismic data from ODP Leg 166 were used to analyse deposits of the Neogene (Miocene–Lower Pliocene) Bahamian outer carbonate ramp. Ramp sediments are cyclic alternations of light- and dark-grey wackestones/packstones with interbedded calciturbidite packages and minor slumps. Cyclicity was driven by high-frequency sea-level changes. Light-grey layers containing shallow-water bioclasts were formed when the ramp exported material, whereas the dark-grey layers are dominantly pelagic. Calciturbidites are arranged into mounded lobes with feeder channels. Internal bedding of the lobes shows a north-directed shingling as a result of the asymmetrical growth of these bodies. Calciturbidite packages occur below and above sequence boundaries, indicating that turbidite shedding occurred during third-order sea-level highstands and lowstands. Highstand turbidites contain shallow-water components, such as green algal debris and epiphytic foraminifera, whereas lowstand turbidites are dominated by abraded bioclastic detritus. Gravity flow depocentres shifted from an outer ramp position during the early Miocene to a basin floor setting during the late Miocene to early Pliocene. This change was triggered by an intensification of the strength of bottom currents during the Tortonian, which was also responsible for shaping the convex morphology of the outer ramp. The Miocene and Lower Pliocene of the leeward flank of Great Bahama Bank provides an example of the poorly known depositional setting of the outer part of distally steepened carbonate ramps. The contrast between its sedimentary patterns and the well-known Upper Pliocene–Quaternary slope facies associations of the flat-topped Great Bahama Bank shows the strong control that the morphology of a carbonate platform exerts on the depositional architecture of the adjacent slope and base-of-slope successions.     

Theropod assemblages and a new ichnotaxon Gigandipus chiappei ichnosp. nov. from the Jiaguan Formation,Lower Cretaceous of Guizhou Province,China

A newly discovered Jiaguan Formation(Lower Cretaceous) tracksite from the Linjiang region of Guizhou Province, China, reveals the first example of a Cretaceous track morphotype attributable to the non-avian theropod ichnogenus Gigandipus, here named Gigandipus chiappei ichnosp nov. The theropod dominated locality also reveals the second report of the avian theropod ichnogenus Wupus, one of the largest avian traces currently known from the Lower Cretaceous. The Linjiang site provides evidence to support previous interpretations of a distinctive Lower Cretaceous theropod-dominated ichnofauna that was widespread in China and East Asia and highlights the similarity between Lower Cretaceous theropod ichnotaxa in East Asia and those found in the Lower Jurassic both in East Asia and elsewhere. These similarities in turn create various ichnotaxonomic challenges familiar to researchers working on theropod tracks, and we recommend caution in the naming of new theropod ichnotaxa at the ichnogenus level.

Geochemical compositional changes at the Pliocene–Pleistocene transition in fluviodeltaic deposits in the Tegelen-Reuver area (southeastern Netherlands)

2 O contents, which can be attributed to the Alpine source supplying fresh, sodic plagioclase-rich material instead of the local, strongly weathered sediments. Increasing K₂O/Al₂O₃ can be attributed to a similar decrease in degree of weathering. However, this trend is disturbed by the loss of K from clay minerals during weathering in organic-rich layers. Local high TiO₂ anomalies, caused by preferential sorting and concentration, are found in most Pliocene sections, but they are absent in the Upper Pliocene and Lower Pleistocene Alpine-derived deposits. This change is probably due to a change in the energy of the fluvial system. Finally, (pyrite-) S contents drop (siderite-) Fe contents rise. Micromorphological observations indicate that the Pliocene pyrite was formed when freshwater deposits were flooded with seawater during short-term events. The decrease in S, and the increase in siderite-Fe, can be attributed to decreasing marine influence, as a result of the marine regression at the Pliocene–Pleistocene transition.

Revision to Kowalskia from the Houhecun Fauna and a New Discovery of Tscherskia(Cricetidae,Rodentia) from the Youhe Fauna of Weinan,Shaanxi Province,China

The fossil hamster (an isolated m1) from the early Early Pleistocene Houhecun fauna found in Dali, Weinan, Shaanxi, China, originally identified as Kowalskia dalinica, is reexamined. Its unique characters, including a high crown, very small degree of division of the anteroconid and relatively large size, is taken as evidence of its attribution to the genus Sinocricetus, instead of Kowalskia (junior synonym of Neocricetodon) suggested by the original author. Therefore, the specific name of the species established based on this m1 should be changed to S. dalinicus (Wang, 1988). S. dalinicus probably has a relatively close affinity with S. major Li, 2010, but there are still some obvious differences of characters between them. The discovery of S. dalinicus in the Houhecun fauna confirms that the genus indeed survived into the Pleistocene. A broken hamster mandible, which was found in Weinan, Shaanxi, China and belongs to the late Pliocene Youhe fauna, is also described here and identified as Tscherskia sp.. This specimen represents the earliest Tscherskia in Asia so far, but fails to refute the hypothesis that the genus originated in Europe during the early Pliocene.     

Rockfall avalanche deposits associated with normal faulting in the NW of Çanklrl basin: implications for the postcollisional tectonic evolution of the Neo-Tethyan suture zone

The NNE-trending Neo-Tethyan suture zone between Ankara and Çanklrl, thrusts eastward onto different stratigraphic levels of the Neogene succession; however, its western side shows a normal fault relationship. This E-vergent tectonic sliver was inactive during the accumulation of the Miocene–Lower Pliocene sedimentary succession and was created by the movement of the North Anatolian Fault Zone and its splay after the late Pliocene, indicating internal deformation of the Anatolian plate. These results are inconsistent with the previous suggestion that intracontinental convergence related to Neo-Tethyan orogeny continued until the Pliocene (Ankara Orogenic Phase).
