湖北当阳陆相白垩系-古近系界线层型问题值得深入研究

陆生恐龙的绝灭是白垩系-古近系界线事件中最引人注目的。陆相地层是恐龙绝灭等事件信息的重要载体。全球白垩纪、古近纪陆相地层发育、分布广泛,单一的白垩系-古近系全球界线层型(GSSP)不能满足建立一个明确而可操作的界线标准的需要,建立陆相白垩系-古近系界线层型很有必要,其意义和重要性实际上不亚于建立GSSP。中国的白垩系、古近系绝大多数为陆相沉积,且陆相白垩系-古近系界线方面存在许多问题,而中国目前正在做陆相地层建阶和完善"中国区域年代地层表"工作,不解决好陆相白垩系-古近系界线问题,中国古近系最下面的一个阶便建不好,"中国区域年代地层表"将不完善,所以建立陆相白垩系-古近系界线层型对于中国更加迫切并具实际价值。全球白垩纪-古近纪过渡时期(特别是古新世早期)的连续陆相生物地层记录十分匮乏,寻找合适的剖面建立陆相白垩系-古近系界线层型非常困难。从轮藻角度出发,湖北当阳跑马岗组露头剖面拥有全球迄今所知最连续丰富多样的白垩纪-古近纪过渡时期特别是古新世早期的陆相生物地层记录。界线层段的介形类生物地层记录也非常连续且丰富多样,并具建立界线层型的其他许多条件。它是中国至今所知惟一具有潜力成为全球(或大区性、或中国)的陆相白垩系-古近系界线层型、也即中生界-新生界界线层型的候选剖面(露头剖面),从而也可能是中国古近系、也即新生界最下面一个阶的最合适的建阶剖面或层型剖面。为此,湖北当阳陆相白垩系-古近系界线层型问题无疑值得重视和深入研究。     

扬子台区二叠-三叠系界线层综合地层学研究

华南二叠－三叠系界线研究一直在地学界备受瞩目．目前被广泛接受的界线标准化石为牙形石Ｈｉｎｄｅｏｄｕｓｐａｒｖｕｓ,该化石的首现位置被定义为二叠－三叠系界线层型剖面点．然而在全球研究精度最高的４个候选层型剖面中,生物地层单位的对比问题尚存在分歧,从而影响了区域高精度地层对比框架的建立．在扬子台区丰富的资料及大量二叠－三叠系界线剖面进一步研究的基础上,发现许多剖面上二叠－三叠系界线处具有相似的岩石地层特征．其基本结构为粘土岩层、灰岩或泥灰岩层及粘土岩层沉积组合．从综合地层学角度的研究表明：该套沉积组合（界线层）在岩性特征、生物群总体面貌以及其他事件标志（如同位素年龄、磁性地层、地球化学特征等）上具有一定的对比意义．认为界线层应该是等时的地层单位,是扬子台区二叠－三叠系界线处重要的标志层组,并对这套地层进行了区域性对比．这套地层的发现大大提高了扬子台区二叠－三叠系界线处地层的对比精度．     

华南二叠—三叠系界线处的磁化率特征及其对比意义

目前界线层型的确定多以生物标定,但在国际地层委员会二叠－三叠系界线工作组确定的４个二叠－三叠系界线层型候选剖面中,生物地层界线却较难精确对比。因此,其他具有广泛对比意义的事件地层标志也被用来作为确定二叠－三叠系界线的辅助标志。本文把磁化率特征（古气候的代用指标）运用二叠－三叠系界线地层研究中,发现华南许多剖面上高精度的磁化率在二叠－三叠系界线处具有同步的变化趋势,因而,磁化率特征可以作为二叠－三叠

华南二叠－三叠系的事件地层与生物地层界线

华南二叠－三叠系界线研究应严格区分事件地层界线与生物地层界线。“界线粘土”层的底界即为事件地层界线。生物地层界线定义不能与“混生层”或“过渡层”的概念连在一起。长兴煤山忠心大队剖面是最好的二叠－三叠系全球界线层型剖面点（ＧＳＳＰ）。二叠－三叠系生物地层界线定义为ＨｉｎｄｅｏｄｕｓｐａｒｖｕｓＭｏｒｐｈｏｔｙｐｅ１的首次出现,其位置就在长兴剖面界线层（混生层）２的内部,比事件地层界线高１５ｃｍ。ＨｉｎｄｅｏｄｕｓｐａｒｖｕｓＭｏｒｐｈｏｔｙｐｅ１的首次出现,即为长兴阶的顶界。

A Potential Candidate For the Middle-Upper Cambrian Boundary Stratotype——An Introduction to the Paibi Section in Huayuan,Hunan

The Middle-Upper Cambrian boundary is one of the current stratigraphical problems which remain openin the geological world, since there have been no universally acknowledged delimiting standard and stratotype.Acting on the instruction of Profs. Lu Yanhao and An Taixiang the author studied in details the Paibi Section,which is well exposed as a continuous sequence at an easily accessible locality. The Middle-Upper Cambrianboundary strata are composed of biocalcimicrosparite, indicating the sedimentary environment of anunderwater upheaval on the gentle slope along the frontal margin of the Yangtze carbonate platform. For the upper Middle and lower Upper Cambrian agnostid trilobite zones and conodont zones are erected,and a more accurate correlation between the trilobite and conodont sequences is established. Based on these,the Middle-Upper Cambrian boundary is drawn more reasonably and precisely than what was done before. Inshort, the section studied is superior to other known sections of Middle-Upper Cambrian. and it will probablybe an ideal candidate for the Middle-Upper Cambrian boundary stratotype.

The calcareous nannofossil record across the Late Cretaceous Turonian/Coniacian boundary,including new data from Germany,Poland, the Czech Republic and England

The proposed definition of the Turonian/Coniacian boundary, at the first occurrence of the inoceramid bivalve Cremnoceramus deformis erectus (Meek) (= Cremnoceramus rotundatus (sensu Tröger non Fiege)), prompted a rigorous study of the calcareous nannofossil events through this interval, both for calibration of the calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy, and to provide an assessment of the suitability, in calcareous nannofossil terms, of the proposed stratotype section. New calcareous nannofossil data are presented here, detailing the biostratigraphy of the boundary interval from four locations. These include the candidate boundary-stratotype, the Salzgitter-Salder Quarry section (northern Germany), as well as the Slupia Nadbrzezna outcrop (central Poland), a potential secondary reference section. Also included is the Brezno Pd-1 Borehole and outcrops in the Brezno Formation (= Priesener Schichten) type-area (north-western Czech Republic), which represents an original boundary candidate (Copenhagen Stage Boundaries Meeting, 1983), and the Langdon Stairs coastal section (south-eastern England), part of the British Chalk succession. The calcareous nannofossil events derived from each section provide a sequence across the boundary of (in stratigraphical order): below the boundary, the first occurrence of Lithastrinus septenarius followed by that of Broinsonia parca expansa; above the boundary, the last occurrence of Helicolithus turonicus followed by the first occurrence of Micula staurophora (= Micula decussata of some authors). This places the boundary within Nannofossil Subzone UC9c. A similar sequence of events has previously been determined from sections in north-eastern England and in the south-eastern Indian Ocean. The presented data and correlations suggest that either the Salzgitter-Salder Quarry section or the Slupia Nadbrzezna outcrop section would make a suitable Global Stratotype Section for the Turonian/Coniacian boundary, as far as calcareous nannofossils are concerned. The use of the calcareous nannofossil Marthasterites furcatus, widely quoted as an indicator of this boundary, is discussed and proved to be untenable.

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 can be correlated with those in other regions, in ascending order as follows: 1, Neospathodus cristagalli Interval-Zone; 2, Neospathodus pakistanensis Interval-Zone; 3, Neospathodus waageni Interval-Zone; 4, Neospathodus homeri-N. triangularis Assemblage-Zone; 5, Chiosella timorensis Interval-Zone; and 6, Neogongdolella regalis Range-Zone. An evolutionary series of the Early–Middle Triassic conodont genera Neospathodus-Chiosella-Neogongdolella discovered in the Ganheqiao and Qingyan sections has an intermediate type named Neospathodus qingyanensis that appears between Neospathodus homeri and Chiosella timorensis in the upper part of the Neospathodus homeri-N. triangularis Zone, showing an excellent evolutionary relationship of conodonts near the Lower–Middle Triassic boundary. The Lower–Middle Triassic boundary is located at 1.5 m below the top of the Ziyun Formation, where Chiosella timorensis Zone first appears in the Qingyan section, whereas this boundary is located 0.5 m below the top of the Ziyun Formation, where Chiosella timorensis Zone first appears in the Ganheqiao section. There exists one nearly 6-m thick vitric tuff bed at the bottom of the Xinyuan Formation in the Ganheqiao section, which is usually regarded as a lithologic symbol of the Lower–Middle Triassic boundary in South China. Based on the analysis of high-precision and high-sensitivity Secondary Ion Mass Spectrum data, the zircon age of this tuff has a weighted mean 206Pb/238U age of 239.0±2.9Ma (2s), which is a directly measured zircon U-Pb age of the Lower–Middle Triassic boundary. The Ganheqiao section in Wangmo county can therefore provide an excellent section through the Lower–Middle Triassic because it is continuous, the evolution of the conodonts is distinctive and the regionally stable distributed vitric tuff near the Lower–Middle Triassic boundary can be regarded as a regional key isochronal layer. This section can be regarded not only as a standard section for the establishment of the Qingyan Stage in China, but also as a reference section for the GSSP of the Lower–Middle Triassic boundary.

A Comprehensive Evaluation on the Devonian-Carboniferous Boundary Stratotype Candidate Section in Nanbiancun,Guilin, Guangxi1

Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation on the Devonian-Carboniferous Boundary (DCB) section in Nanbiancun, Guilin, Guangxi on the basis of Palaeontological, biostratigraphical and sedimentary petrological studies as well as microfacies analysis, REE and trace element analysis and isotopic dating. The DCB at this section conforms to the definition of this boundary and essentially measure up the criteria and conditions for selection of the boundary stratotype. Up to 14 fossil groups are contained in the section. The section presents a general biostratigraphical framework with multispecies fossils zones, assemblage zones and multiple groups of fossils and has latent preponderant conditions for magnetostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic studies. The boundary and point occur in a persistent and continuous monofacial carbonate succession, and the section is located in a tourist city with convenient communication, where various facies of DCB sections are developed, allowing the correlation within a small area. So it is an ideal candidate boundary stratotype.
