华南埃迪卡拉纪—寒武纪宏体藻类化石的时空分布与多样性变化

华南地区众多埃迪卡拉纪—寒武纪特异埋藏化石库为解读生命和生态系统的演化提供了重要化石证据,其中宏体藻类产出数量多、分布广、形态多样,是该时期生态系统中不可忽视的组成部分。过去对华南宏体藻类的研究多集中于形态、分类和古生态方面,对于其不同时期的地理分布和多样性变化较少涉及。文中对华南埃迪卡拉纪—寒武纪特异埋藏化石库中的宏体藻类进行了总结和分析,结果发现：(1)至晚埃迪卡拉世,宏体藻类的古地理分布范围和属、种级多样性明显扩大和提高,在晚埃迪卡拉世第五期达到顶峰;(2)寒武纪纽芬兰世宏体藻类的地理分布范围和属、种级多样性均较低,至第二世则明显扩大和增加;(3)苗岭世之后,宏体藻类古地理分布大幅度缩小,但多样性显著升高并达到第二高峰,直到芙蓉世多样性又急剧下降。推测区域海水含氧量的增加可能是导致华南宏体藻类繁盛(属、种多样性高)的主要原因,适合宏体藻类保存的泥页岩的分布范围或出露面积则可能是影响宏体藻类古地理分布范围的重要因素。     

塔里木盆地西北缘埃迪卡拉纪—寒武纪转折期黑色岩系中硅质岩成因及其环境指示意义

埃迪卡拉纪—寒武纪转折期是地质历史上的关键期,全球范围内普遍发育一套黑色岩系,包括硅质岩、泥岩和白云岩。在这套黑色岩系中下部,发育了不同厚度的硅质岩,尤其是在塔里木盆地西北缘,黑白燧石条带韵律性互层且硅质岩分布变化大,其成因对寒武系玉尔吐斯组优质烃源岩形成环境具有重要指示意义。本文以塔西北地区新柯地1井这套黑色岩系中硅质岩为研究对象,运用岩芯观察、镜下薄片鉴定、主微量元素和稀土元素分析,研究硅质岩与有机质的成因及其二者之间的共生机理,硅质岩较高的Ti、V、Y、Ba等元素含量、较低的δ30Si值(1. 2‰~0. 7‰)、明显的Ce负异常说明其硅质流体为热液来源,但是硅质岩不是热液脉体侵入形成,而是富含硅质的流体与冰冷的海水混合沉积而成,硅质岩沉积受温度、pH值、有机质等因素共同控制,有机质的存在可以促进硅质沉淀。同时系统地研究了黑白燧石条带韵律性互层的成因,白色层由纯的微晶石英组成,而黑色层由碎屑碳质颗粒、石英颗粒和碳质纹层组成,认为是微生物席活动的结果,硅质岩中黑白燧石层受冰期和间冰期控制。硅质岩中较高的Al2O3/(Al2O3+Fe2O3)比值和较低的Lan/Cen比值代表受陆源影响的大陆边缘沉积环境,结合古气候、海平面变化等信息,认为塔西北地区寒武系玉尔吐斯组硅质岩以及硅质页岩沉积于局限海湾或潟湖环境,为正确认识硅质页岩的形成环境和烃源岩的评价预测提供理论指导。     

皖南地区埃迪卡拉系皮园村组微体和宏体化石——兼论埃迪卡拉纪-寒武纪界线

国际上寒武纪的开始以遗迹化石Treptichnus pedum的首次出现为标志,我国南方通常以小壳化石的出现或者疑源类Asteridium-Comasphaeridium-Heliosphaeridium化石组合的出现作为前寒武纪-寒武纪界线。由于化石保存的不完整性,仅仅依靠寒武纪化石的首现来确定埃迪卡拉纪-寒武纪界线可能导致其层位偏高,因此需要利用界线之下的埃迪卡拉纪化石对界线进行进一步限定。皖南地区的埃迪卡拉纪-寒武纪界线一直被厘定在皮园村组硅质岩和荷塘组底部磷块岩或黑色页岩交界处,这一划分主要是根据岩石地层的证据和邻区的生物地层资料,但是皮园村组本身缺乏直接的生物地层学资料。为了进一步确定皖南地区的埃迪卡拉纪-寒武纪界线和皮园村组的沉积年龄,系统研究了皖南休宁蓝田剖面皮园村组中的微体化石组合,在皮园村组中发现了埃迪卡拉纪化石Horodyskiacf.minor、Palaeopascichnus cf.jiumenensis、Palaeopascichnus sp.,以及未定名的纺锤状化石和球形化石。Palaeopascichnus在全球范围的埃迪卡拉纪地层中都有发现,且其仅仅局限在埃迪卡拉纪的晚期。在华北地台西缘的正目观组板岩和华南留茶坡组硅质岩曾报道有Horodyskia minor,H.moniliformis?(有可能为H.minor的同物异名),Palaeopascichnus minimus,P.meniscatus,和P.jiumenensis。在皖南Palaeopascichnus cf.jiumenensis和Palaeopascichnus sp.出现在皮园村组硅质岩的中上部,Horodyskiacf.minor一直延伸到皮园村组的顶部,说明由生物地层所划分的埃迪卡拉纪-寒武纪界线与皮园村组-荷塘组岩石地层的界线基本上是一致的。     

贵州南华纪—震旦纪沉积大地构造及其对沉积矿产的控制作用

新元古代早期(820 720 Ma),华南由扬子地块、华夏地块和江南造山带3个构造单元组成。新元古代晚期,南华纪-震旦纪(720 541 Ma)沿新元古代早期的江南造山带发育一裂谷盆地-南华裂谷,贵州东部是南华裂谷的重要组成部分。传统认为黔东地区该裂谷盆地为北北东向,越来越多的证据证明该裂谷盆地为北东东向。黔东地区南华纪裂谷盆地具有典型的地堑、地垒结构,并控制着"大塘坡式"锰矿的分布。震旦纪之后,裂谷盆地处于沉降阶段,沉降中心向南迁移到凯里-玉屏一线。震旦纪时期,扬子地块和南华裂谷存在明显的滨浅海磷矿-碳酸盐岩和深水泥质岩-硅质岩的沉积分异。扬子地块和南华裂谷控制着扬子地块震旦系陡山沱组磷矿和南华裂谷老堡组重晶石等沉积矿产的分布。富磷矿位于松桃-贵阳同沉积断裂以北的扬子地块南缘,重晶石矿发育于裂谷盆地强烈沉降区的天柱-岑巩一带。     

Organic Carbon Isotopic Evolution during the Ediacaran-Cambrian Transition Interval in Eastern Guizhou, South China： Paleoenvironmental and Stratigraphic Implications

Secular variations of carbon isotopic composition of organic carbon can be used in the study of global environmental variation, the carbon cycle, stratigraphic delimitation, and biological evolution, etc. Organic carbon isotopic analysis of the Nangao and Zhalagou sections in eastern Guizhou reveals a negative excursion near the Precambrian-Cambrian boundary that correlates with a distinct carbonate carbon isotopic negative excursion at this boundary globally. Our results also demonstrate that several alternating positive and negative shifts occur in the Meishucunian, and an obvious negative anomaly appears at the boundary between the Meishucunian and Qiongzhusian. The isotope values are stable in the middle and lower parts but became more positive in the upper part of the Qiongzhusian. Evolution of organic carbon isotopes from the two sections in the deepwater facies can be well correlated with that of the carbonate carbon isotopes from the section in the shallow water facies. Integrated with other stratigraphic tools, we can precisely establish a lower Cambrian stratigraphic framework from shallow shelf to deep basin of the Yangtze Platform.     

贵州青岩地区早-中三叠世生物地层

贵州青岩地区下-中三叠统发育齐全,化石丰富,尤其是中三叠世“青岩动物群”,具有生物辐射性质.为了研究二叠纪末生物大灭绝事件后的生物复苏及辐射过程,对该区下、中三叠统剖面进行了实测,并从沉积学、古生物学上进行了系统研究.识别出5个牙形石带:Neospathodus dieneri带、Neospathodus waageni带、Neospathodus pingdingshanensis带、Neospathodus homeri带、Chiosella timorensis带,建立2个有孔虫组合和6个双壳类组合.并根据牙形石化石初步确定出印度阶与奥伦尼克阶及奥伦尼克阶与安尼阶的界线.多门类化石的分布和生态组合结构表明,大灭绝后的复苏-辐射第一幕发生于安尼期早期,安尼期中期雷打坡页岩段的化石组合具有典型辐射后期的生态繁荣景象.古环境研究表明,本区从三叠纪初到中三叠世安尼期沉积水体总体上震荡式变浅,表现为盆地-陆棚-台缘斜坡-台地-盆地-台缘斜坡-陆棚的演变过程.      

Distribution and speciation of mercury in the Hongfeng Reservoir,Guizhou Province,China

The water, pore water, sediment, and fish samples were collected from the Hongfeng Reservoir in November 2003 and February 2004 in accordance with trace metal protocols. The average concentrations of total mercury （THg）, dissolved mercury （DHg）, reactive mercury, dissolved gaseous mercury, total methylmercury, and dissolved methylmercury in the water columns were 8.00, 5.70, 0.63, 0.05, 0.16, and 0.07 ng/L, respectively. THg and DHg in the water columns, THg in pore water and THg in lake sediments of the Hongfeng Reservoir showed the level of mercury in the Hongfeng Reservoir was higher than in other natural waters in the world due to the loading of a lot of waste water with relatively high concentrations of mercury, whereas methylmercury concentrations in fish （wet weight） varied from 1.73-51.00 ng/g, much lower than in most remote lakes and reservoirs reported in northern Europe and North America. Methylmercury distributions in pore water and sediments showed methylation occurred mainly in the upper several centimeters of sediment cores in the Hongfeng Reservoir. The concentrations of dissolved organic carbon, total suspended particles, total Hg, and methylmercury were higher at Houwu than those at Daba in November 2003. It is suggested that other pollutants such as N and P from fishing farm and other waste water at Houwu, which resulted in deterioration of water quality, affected the concentrations and distributions of mercury species in the reservoir.     

Primitive Ordovician (Floian) echinoderms from Sandu,Guizhou Province,South China,and their significance

Pelmatozoans diversified primarily during the Middle and Late Ordovician Period, with Early Ordovician records being much more limited, resulting in many gaps in our knowledge of the early stages of their diversification. Dissociated pelmatozoan ossicles have been found abundantly in one section in the Tonggao Formation (Tetragraptus approximatus Biozone, Floian, Early Ordovician). Most of the ossicles are thecal plates and stem ossicles from hemicosmitoid and glyptocystitoid cystoids. Thecal plates of ‘Cheirocrinus’ sp., Polycosmites sp., and other plates of uncertain affinity are described. A different ossicle type, Pentagonopentagonalis (col.), may represent crinoid remains; this would be one of the earliest occurrences of the class. The thecal ossicles and columnals are all considered, as both sets of data are desirable to determine the most complete estimate of generic diversity. The echinoderm ossicles may have been transported in from shallower water palaeoenvironments and clusters of ossicles may represent coprolites or regurgitates. Estimates of Early Ordovician palaeogeography that place this site at 30°S or near the palaeoequator are supported by the physiological requirements of the primitive echinoderms described herein.

黔桂地区泥盆系层序地层格架及相对海平面变化

志留纪末期的加里东运动,使黔桂地区的古地理格局发生了重大变化,早古生代的滇黔桂古陆演变为晚古生代的滇黔桂海。泥盆纪初期,海水由南而北逐渐海侵超覆,在泥盆系的底部形成一套海侵碎屑岩系地层;早泥盆世晚期的大规模海侵事件造成了明显的相分异,在习称的滇黔桂盆地中发育了若干孤立碳酸盐台地,这种“台-盆-丘-槽”的格局一直延续到晚泥盆世早期;而泥盆纪末期的紫云运动所造成的地壳抬升,又使晚泥盆世地层产生海退尖灭。因此,该地区的泥盆系构成一个二级构造层序,其中包含13个三级沉积层序。在前人大量生物地层学研究的基础上,追索和对比不同沉积背景中的三级沉积层序的相序组构特征以及由其所代表的相对海平面变化,即可建立黔桂地区泥盆系的层序地层格架。层序地层格架较为充分地表现出三级沉积层序的两大特征--空间上相序的有序性和时间上环境变化的同步性,同时也明显地显示出地层记录中的两种相变面和两种穿时性。     

贵州边阳地区中三叠世的六射珊瑚化石

本文描述了贵州边阳地区中三叠统拉丁尼克期的六射珊瑚4属6种，其中1个已知种，1个亲近种，2个新种和2个未定种：Pinacophyllum spizzensis(Tornquist)，P．aff．yunnanense Wu，P．bianyangense sp．nov，Retiophyllia bianyangensis sp．nov．，Procydolites sp．，Margarosmilia sp．，丰富了世界中三叠世六射珊瑚研究的资料。迄今全世界缺乏早三叠世珊瑚，研究中三叠世珊瑚，对探讨中生代开始出现的六射珊瑚的发生和系统演化，古生代四射珊瑚与中生代珊瑚之间存在的关系，都有很重要的意义。     

华南伊迪卡拉(震旦)系顶部建阶层型和界线层型新资料

新元古代与寒武纪之交,即伊迪卡拉纪—寒武纪过渡期,是地球历史上一个重大的地质突变期,出现了一系列地质环境变化事件和生物快速演化事件。云南东部位于扬子地区西南缘,在前寒武纪—寒武纪过渡期属于开放式浅水台地至台缘斜坡环境,是中国伊迪卡拉(震旦)系顶部与底寒武统基本连续沉积的典型地区,也曾是中国震旦系与寒武系界线层型候选剖面所在地。近年来,在此新发现了更为丰富的宏体藻类化石、遗迹化石和伊迪卡拉生物群的疑似后生动物化石等(江川生物群),以及大量以条带状Shaanxilithes为代表的宏体化石层。相关剖面自下而上从灯影组至磷矿沉积层(中谊村段)出露有连续的宏体化石记录,研究后可以细分伊迪卡拉系顶部灯影峡阶的化石带,并与底寒武统晋宁阶、梅树村阶对接,具有作为标准层型剖面的较大潜力,为伊迪卡拉纪末期年代地层单位的建阶分层、对比及确立层型剖面,以及与寒武纪最早期年代地层的界线划分提供了更为理想的标准。     

Distribution and speciation of mercury in surface water in Wanshan Hg-mined areas, Guizhou Province, China

Mercury as a toxic element poses environmental concerns, especially in historically Hg-mined districts. The Wanshan Hg mine located in the eastern part of Guizhou Province, southwestern China, ranks the largest Hg-producing district in China. Mining at Wanshan was initiated in 221 B.C., but ceased in 2001. Approximately 22000 tons of Hg, 6000 tons of cinnabar and large quantities of mine-wastes had been produced at Wanshan. Significant quantities of calcines, which were piled irregularly near the old mine processing sites and retorts, continue to impact the local environments in the Wanshan area. In this study, a regional contamination of mercury in surface waters collected from the Meizixi, Dashuixi, Huandao and Gaolouping rivers, whose upstreams or branches originate from the hilly karstic area and receive drainage arising from the calcines, was investigated by determining all Hg species in a base-flow and a flood-flow season. Reactive, dissolved, particulate, and total Hg concentrations in surface water varied from 0.60 to 400 ng/L, 11 to 430 ng/L, 1.4 to 9210 ng/L, and 15 to 9260 ng/L, respectively. Total methylmercury in water samples ranges from 0.31 to 25 ng/L. The concentrations of total Hg and particulate Hg in water samples collected during the flood season are higher than those in the base-flow season, whereas, the concentrations of dissolved and reactive Hg are lower with the peak values observed in water samples collected in the base-flow season. A strong positive correlation between total Hg and particulate Hg is noticed in the water samples collected from Hg-mined areas with the proportion higher than 80%.     

Conodont Biostratigraphy and Age Determination of the Lower-Middle Triassic Boundary in South Guizhou Province,China

The demarcation of the Lower-Middle Triassic boundary is a disputed problem in global stratigraphic research.Lower-Middle Triassic strata of different types,from platform to basin facies, are well developed in Southwest China.This is favorable for the study of the Olenekian-Anisian boundary and establishing a stratotype for the Qingyan Stage.Based on research at the Ganheqiao section in Wangmo county and the Qingyan section in Guiyang city,Guizhou province,six conodont zones have been recognized,which ca...
