洞庭盆地两护村孔孢粉组合及其气候与地层意义

两护村ZKC1孔位于洞庭盆地安乡凹陷的东南部,孔内第四系(底部跨上新世)厚达294 m,为河流和湖泊沉积,自下而上依次为上新世—早更新世华田组、早更新世汨罗组、中更新世洞庭湖组、晚更新世坡头组以及全新统等。对ZKC1孔第四系进行了详细的孢粉分析,自下而上划分出16个孢粉组合带。ESR年龄和孢粉组合及其反映的气候特征指示华田组下段形成于上新世末。根据孢粉组合特征,结合构造—沉积演化和区域气候背景,重塑洞庭盆地上新世末以来的气候演化过程:上新世末期由孢粉带Ⅰ和Ⅱ指示具暖干气候。早更新世经历了凉干(孢粉带Ⅲ、Ⅳ)→暖湿间凉干(孢粉带Ⅴ～Ⅶ)→冷干间温湿(孢粉带Ⅷ～Ⅹ)→暖较湿(孢粉带Ⅺ,Ⅻ)的气候演变过程。中更新世早期无孢粉样品(洞庭湖组下部砾石层),其沉积环境暗示冷干气候条件;中期由孢粉带ⅩⅢ反映出暖稍湿的气候特征;晚期因构造抬升缺失沉积,同期湿热化事件指示暖湿气候。晚更新世早期缺乏沉积,据区域对比应为寒冷气候;中期由孢粉带ⅩⅣ指示温较湿的气候特征;晚期缺失沉积,系寒冷气候下区域海平面下降所致。全新世经历了暖稍湿(孢粉带ⅩⅤ)→暖稍干(孢粉带ⅩⅥ)的演变。上述气候演变过程与ZKC1孔化学蚀变指数曲线反映的气候演变过程以及中国东部第四纪气候演化基本吻合。以孔深140 m为界,上部孢粉数量显著高于下部,种属也更为丰富。这一变化很可能对应于一次重要的地质事件,其成因有待今后深入研究。     

西藏阿里札达盆地上新世-早更新世的古植被、古环境与古气候演化

本文将西藏札达盆地河湖相地层重新划分为第四系下更新统香孜组(Qp1-1x)、新近系上新统古格组(N22g)和上新统托林组(N21t)。河湖相地层的古地磁法和ESR法测年结果表明,札达盆地内河湖相沉积地层的形成时代为新近纪上新世—第四纪早更新世。根据该套河湖相地层沉积演化和其中的孢粉组合特征、河湖相沉积中所发现的各种古动植物化石等的综合分析,笔者对札达盆地上新世—早更新世的古植被、古环境与古气候演变进行了探讨。结果表明,札达地区上新世—早更新世气候经历了从湿热—温暖潮湿—偏冷潮湿—寒冷干旱的变化,以及植被从森林—灌木—草原的逐渐演化。可将札达盆地上新世—早更新世环境演化划分为7个大的阶段,其总体特征是15.4~4.4Ma,札达地区处于亚热带湿热气候环境;24.4~3.95Ma,为暖温带温暖潮湿气候;33.95~3.5Ma,为偏凉潮湿阶段,气候开始转冷;43.5~3.2Ma,为温暖潮湿阶段;53.2~2.9Ma,气候转为偏冷潮湿阶段;62.9~2.57Ma,该阶段气候偏冷而干旱,整体较为干冷;72.57~1.36Ma,气候寒冷而干旱。表明自上新世—早更新世,该区的古气候环境在逐渐变干、变冷的总趋势上,经历了多次明显的冷暖与干湿波动。     

西藏札达盆地晚上新世—早更新世孢粉组合及其地质意义

札达盆地位于青藏高原西南隅的阿里地区,是在中新世晚期约9.6 Ma B.P.形成的一个NW—SE向断陷盆地。该盆地在上新世—早更新世发育一套完整的河湖-冲积扇相地层。在札达县香孜乡西北约1 km处精细实测了上上新统—下更新统香孜剖面。根据前人的古地磁及ESR年龄数据确定下更新统香孜组年龄为2.60~1.67 Ma B.P.。根据孢粉学研究把香孜剖面自下而上划分为3个孢粉组合带(8个孢粉组合),并据此将札达盆地2.75 Ma B.P.以来的气候变化划分为3个阶段:(1)孢粉组合带Ⅰ(孢粉组合1~2),植被为温暖偏湿的常绿与落叶针阔叶混交林,2.67 Ma以后气候逐渐向干旱转变,地层对比时代为晚上新世(2.75~2.60 Ma);(2)孢粉组合带Ⅱ(孢粉组合3~5),发育温凉偏湿的亚高山落叶针阔叶混交林,并在约2.38 Ma逐渐变为针叶林,气候趋向变冷,地层对比时代为早更新世(2.54~2.16 Ma);(3)孢粉组合带Ⅲ(孢粉组合6~8),发育寒冷干旱的高山针叶林,并存在高寒灌丛草甸草原,低海拔处零星分布落叶针阔叶混交林,指示较强的地势差异,地层对比时代为早更新世(2.13~1.86 Ma)。     

青海黄河源盆地早更新世以来环境演变

黄河源盆地位于青藏高原东北部,是黄河的源头地区,对环境和气候变化非常敏感。对黄河源盆地中的河湖相沉积物进行了孢粉分析,获得丰富的孢粉数据,结果显示孢粉组合以菊科、蒿科、藜科、禾本科、松、桦等草本和木本植物花粉为主。通过对各类植物的孢粉组合特征分析,揭示了黄河源地区早更新世以来古植被、古气候的演替和变化。其演变经历了4个阶段：第一阶段223.9～90.1万年,为森林草原环境,反映了温暖潮湿的气候;第二阶段90.1～35万年,为灌丛草原环境,反映了总体干冷的气候;第三阶段35～2.8万年,为稀树草甸草原环境,属湿润寒冷的气候;第四阶段2.8～0.8万年,为荒漠草原环境,反应干冷的气候。     

银川盆地中更新世以来的孢粉组合与古环境变化

通过对银川盆地北部重点井CK1孔（深300．39m)沉积物进行的系统的孢粉分析，探讨了银川盆地中更新世以来的植被演替和气候变化，区域孢粉组合特征清楚地反映了银川盆地900ka B.P.以来古植被经历了11个发展演替阶段；针阔混交林－灌丛草原→针阔混交林－灌木草原→疏林灌木草原→针阔混交林－草原→疏林灌木草原→针叶林－草原→暗针叶林为主的针叶林－草原→灌木草原→针阔混交林－灌丛草原→荒漠草原，与古植被发展演替阶段相应的气候环境经过了温湿→凉湿→温和→冷湿→温干→凉较湿→冷湿→温干→凉润→温较干→温干的变化。     

黄土高原平凉地区中全新世以来孢粉-植硅体记录对比研究

对位于甘肃省平凉县大寨村的平凉剖面(0–142 cm)进行年代测试、孢粉及植硅体分析。从孢粉角度反映8.50 Ka BP气候经历了冷干—凉干—偏凉偏湿—凉干—偏凉偏湿—偏凉偏干的变化过程。从植硅体的角度经历了凉湿—暖湿—暖湿(具有变冷的趋势)—凉湿—偏凉偏干的变化过程。选取含量较高且具有典型环境指示意义的四种科属孢粉(云杉属、松属、禾本科、蒿属)与四种类型植硅体(扇型、长方型、棒型、尖型)进行对比,结果表明:孢粉记录的气候与植硅体记录的气候特征总体趋势相同,但存在一定的差异。孢粉含量较为丰富的气候带与植硅体气候带有很好的对应关系,反映的气候类型较为准确;当孢粉带中其他花粉含量很少,仅含有较多传播能力强、不具代表性的花粉(如松属)时,孢粉指示的气候环境准确性较低。而植硅体样品在整个黄土剖面中含量都较高,反应的气候特征较为准确,因而在孢粉含量较少的黄土高原,相较于孢粉而言,植硅体是较为有效的古气候研究手段。     

滇池盆地孢粉记录的29kaBP气候转型事件

位于低纬度高原上的滇池盆地的气候主要受西南季风及东亚季风的控制,盆地沉积物是气候变化的敏感记录.通过对该盆地北部钻孔MIS3晚期孢粉记录的研究,发现在29 kaBP该地区的气候明显发生了由暖干向凉湿的转型.29 kaBP之前,孢粉组合中,乔木以喜暖的壳斗科、山核桃、鹅耳枥等为主,草本植物中较为耐旱的菊科、石竹科、禾本科等较发育,气候暖干;29 kaBP之后,孢粉组合改变较大,松属花粉含量增加突出,喜湿的铁杉和云杉少量出现,草本植物中莎草科增加,蕨类增多,气候较之前偏凉湿.通过对比发现,该气候转型事件具有区域对比性.     

共和盆地剖面第四纪孢粉组合特征及环境演化

青藏高原东北缘共和盆地沉积了较厚的第四系,详细地记录了共和盆地第四纪环境变化。通过对共和盆地第四系沉积序列特征和孢粉组合特征的分析,结合热释光测年,本文较详细地研究了共和盆地第四纪以来的环境变迁,并将其分为两大阶段:早期为湖相沉积阶段(中更新世晚期~0.079Ma),气候相对温和。晚期为河流和风成沉积阶段(79.2ka~至今),气候相对干旱。早期阶段又可进一步划分为三个气候期和五个气候亚期。总体上,共和盆地自早更新世以来由偏湿气候逐渐转变为干旱气候,古植被由森林植被逐渐转化为森林草原型植被。其主要原因可能是早更新世以来青藏高原强烈隆升,改变了西南季风气候格局所致。

宁夏清水河盆地晚更新世中晚期孢粉记录及古气候意义

亚洲内陆荒漠化和干旱化与中国西部人类生存环境和社会可持续发展密切相关。中国西部地区的气候自晚更新世以来经历了多次冷暖、干湿变化，研究其晚更新世古气候变化，有助于预测未来气候的变化趋势。文章分析了宁夏南部清水河盆地晚更新世中晚期的孢粉记录，结果显示孢粉序列可从下至上划分为4个组合带，反映了该地区晚更新世中晚期植被和气候变化规律。研究表明研究区晚更新世中期(75～50 ka B.P.)是植被以蒿属为主的干草原，气候温凉偏干；晚更新世晚期(25～15 ka B.P.)由荒漠草原-干草原和疏林草原交替出现逐渐过渡到荒漠草原，该时期冬季风呈现逐渐增强的趋势，致使气候逐渐变冷变干，气候类型由温凉偏湿过渡到冷干。宁夏南部清水河盆地晚更新世中晚期孢粉记录的深入研究对于正确认识黄土高原自然环境历史演变和黄土高原治理决策的制定具有重要指导意义。     

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.
