辽宁省建昌县玲珑塔大西山侏罗纪燕辽生物群新发现

辽宁省建昌县玲珑塔大西山地区出露的中侏罗统髫髻山组二段含有丰富的动、植物化石,是国家级重点保护古生物化石的产地.通过测制髫髻山组剖面及采集化石,新发现了新疆龟(Xinjiangchelys sp.)和赫氏近鸟龙(Anchiornis huxleyi)等化石产出的新层位,丰富了燕辽生物群的内容,进一步验证了侏罗纪燕辽生物群动物的演化方向.     

燕山地区土城子组划分、时代与盆地性质探讨

燕山地区土城子组分布广泛,顶底清晰,是本区最具特色的岩石地层单位之一。区域地质对比研究表明,燕山西部土城子组与燕山中东部土城子组在地层、时代上有较大的不同,西部盆地中髫髻山组火山岩不发育或很少发育,土城子组在地层划分上常包含九龙山组或髫髻山期火山岩,时代为中晚侏罗世(J2—J3);东部盆地普遍发育髫髻山组火山岩浆或火山-沉积地层,土城子组划分与层型剖面一致。古生物化石和同位素年龄研究表明:土城子组时限在156~139Ma之间,属于晚侏罗世—早白垩世。土城子期盆地沉积的不对称性,相分布特征,古水流等指示其形成在一个挤压作用下的陆内火山-沉积盆地环境。     

内蒙古宁城盆地东南缘含道虎沟生物群岩石地层序列特征及时代归属

宁城盆地东南缘晚中生代岩石地层序列完整、连续，但该岩石地层序列及其所含生物群的地质年代归属问题还存在争议。含道虎沟生物群岩石地层剖面的发现和实测表明，研究区晚中生代地层序列从下至上由中侏罗世九龙山组—髫髻山组、晚侏罗世土城子组和早白垩世义县组组成。九龙山组—髫髻山组下部以沉积岩系为主，产道虎沟生物群，上部为中、基性火山岩，SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为152Ma和164～165Ma。九龙山组—髫髻山组地层序列既为土城子组平行不整合覆盖，而且二者又同时被早白垩世义县组角度不整合覆盖。含道虎沟生物群的晚中生代岩石地层的地质年代早于热河生物群，为中侏罗世的产物，现暂将其统并为九龙山组—髫髻山组。     

辽宁建昌玲珑塔地区中侏罗世地层与化石初步报道

辽西建昌县玲珑塔地区出露一套火山岩所夹的沉积地层, 富含叶肢介、介形类、双壳类、鱼、昆虫、脊椎动物和植物等化石。经区域地层研究, 结合对玲珑塔大西山地质剖面实测以及对该剖面新近所采集的各门类化石的综合研究, 确认此套沉积地层位于义县组之下, 属髫髻山组, 化石显示“燕辽生物群”面貌, 时代为中侏罗世。     

辽西建昌县玲珑塔含翼龙和带羽毛恐龙化石地层层序和时代归属

最近辽西建昌地区报道发现了一系列带羽毛恐龙和翼龙化石, 其赋存化石的地层层位时代一直富有争议。我们结合前人资料对玲珑塔含化石地层剖面进行了野外调查和实测, 厘定了含化石地层沉积层序和时代归属。剖面顶底岩石组合特征主要以溢流相中性熔岩和近火山口相火山碎屑岩为主, 中间层位为河流相-湖泊相碎屑岩。该剖面产有大量叶肢介、介形类、双壳类、昆虫、鱼类、植物化石和大量脊椎动物化石。上述化石指示含恐龙化石地层时代为中侏罗世。通过区域对比认为含恐龙化石地层与区域上髫髻山组地层层序和岩石组合相似, 因此认为含恐龙化石地层为中侏罗世髫髻山组(火山岩同位素年代学年龄范围为152~165 Ma)。     

冀西下花园一带南大岭组的发现

冀西下花园盆地黑岱山—八宝山一带在中、上元古界雾迷山组、下马岭组之上,早一中侏罗世下花园组之下,分布一套以中基性火山岩为主夹火山碎屑岩、沉积岩的地层,层位稳定,特征明显(图1)。已往资料将八宝山一带这一套地层的火山岩划为辉绿岩,其碎屑岩归入下花园组。黑岱山一带的这一层位或称髫髻山统或称崔家庄组(见下表)。一九八二年进行1∶5万区域地质调查时,笔者等对该套地层层序进行了详细的追索和观察,并在八宝山水窑沟村北测制剖面和采集化石,确定了该套地层层位应属南大岭组,钾—氩全岩同位素年令值为1.73亿年。     

辽宁西部及邻区中侏罗世燕辽生物群脊椎动物化石研究进展

近年来,在中国辽宁西部、内蒙古东南部、河北北部中侏罗世髫髻山组和九龙山组中发现了丰富的脊椎动物、无脊椎动物和植物化石,这一化石群被称为燕辽生物群。燕辽生物群已正式命名的脊椎动物26属28种,包括鱼类1属1种、两栖类4属4种、有鳞类1属1种、翼龙类10属12种、兽脚类恐龙5属5种、哺乳类5属5种。燕辽生物群的脊椎动物化石对研究长羽毛兽脚类恐龙的演化、翼龙类的分类演化、滑体两栖类的分异等具有重要意义。虽然辽宁西部及邻区燕辽生物群脊椎动物的多样性不及同一地区早白垩世的热河生物群,但它为认识这一地区晚中生代生物群的演替提供了极为重要的依据。     

中国中侏罗世哺乳动物研究新进展

本文介绍了中国北方东部地区发现的几种中侏罗世哺乳动物:纤细辽兽、獭形狸尾兽、远古翔兽和粗壮假碾磨齿兽,除纤细辽兽发现于辽宁凌源房身九龙山组外,其他3种哺乳动物化石均发现于内蒙古宁城道虎沟地区的髫髻山组.这些哺乳动物化石的发现不仅丰富了我国中侏罗世生物群的组成,加深了人们对于中侏罗世哺乳动物多样性的认识,而且为解决我国北方东部地区晚中生代地层的划分和对比提供了可靠的古生物证据.     

吉林东南部白山盆地下白垩统鹰嘴砬子组时代厘定及地质意义

对鹰嘴砬子组层型剖面进行了重新测制,系统采集了古生物化石。研究证明该组所产脊椎动物、无脊椎动物、植物和孢粉化石组合与Eosestheria-Epicharmeropsis-Lycoptera (EEL)组合为代表的热河生物群一致,代表了中国最东部的热河生物群化石产地,地质时代应为早白垩世,而不是前人划归的晚侏罗世。孢粉学和年代地层学研究资料进一步表明,鹰嘴砬子组地质时代应为早白垩世Hauterivian-Barremian期。鹰嘴砬子组区域上可与辽西义县组、冀北大店子组—西瓜园组及龙江盆地光华组对比。     

辽西南部中生代地层序列及特征

辽西南部兴城、葫芦岛等地中生代地层由老到新可划分为下三叠统红砬组、中侏罗统海房沟组、中—上侏罗统髫髻山组、上侏罗统土城子组以及下白垩统义县组。红砬组分布在杨家杖子和喜鹊沟向斜内,海房沟组主要分布于兴城龙回头盆地,髫髻山组和土城子组分布于金岭寺—羊山盆地南端的娘娘庙、杨树湾一带,义县组主要分布在小德营子、新台门和兴城—老滩等地。南票虹螺蚬地区原定"红砬组"的叶肢介化石组合所在层位有可能属于乐平统蛤蟆山组,白马石中华史麦斯果植物群化石层的归属和时代尚需进一步研究,新台门和高桥地区产热河生物群化石的湖相沉积夹层属于义县组。本区中生代地层缺失较多,海房沟组和义县组均存在不整合于新太古代花岗岩之上的情况,是本区独特的燕山运动地质记录,并且表明山海关古陆/隆起在中生代仍然影响着辽西地区的沉积古地理格局。     

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.     

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.
