High—Resolution Dating of Stalagmites and Reconstruction of Paleo—Environments

The discovery of abrupt paleo-climate change events and the prediction of environmental changes in the future time have raised an urgent request for high-resolution paleo-environmental records.This paper reviews the progress made in hronology and paleo-environment of stalagmites from karst caves in China and presents some of the results of TIMS-U-series dating of stalagmites composed of secondary carbonates,taken from the Dongge,Longquan and Yamen karst caves in Libo County and the Qixing karst cave in Duyun,Guizhou Province,on a MAT-262 mass spectrometer.     

Dissipative Structures of Rock—and Ore—forming Systems in Faults

The dissipative structure is an ordered structure.When a ssyterm is far from reaching equilibrium in the condition of non-equilibrium and exchanges some energy and material with the surroundings,this structure will be formed and preserved.Starting with the analysis of practical data,we attempt to use this theory to discuss the tectono-geochemical problems of some rock and ore-forming systems in faults.1.Ordered structure:Under the geological condition,due to the opening of a system in which energy and material are involved in geochemical action,the entropy tends to reduce gradually and substances evolve from non-ordered to ordered in structure.In the processes of formation of rocks and ores in faults,various layer-bands will be formed in rocks.2.Functional action:The physico-chemical activities which include pressure-creeping and thermal-diffusion as well as liquid diffusion have been shown.3.Fluctuating cycle:In the process of metamorphism,various changes in pressure,temperature and liquid are of fluctuation and periodicity.These may play an important role in the formation of rocks and minerals and the occurrence of ordered structures in fault zones.A few examples of mineral deposits in the middle and lower Yangtze River Valley are presented here,and the dissipative activities of rock-forming minerals and mineral-forming elements have been preliminarily established.     

Phase—Controlled and Gas—Washing Fractionations During the Formation of Petroleum Reservoirs

By PVT fractionation experiments to model phase-controlled and gaw-washing fractionations during the formation of petroleum reservoirs,the authors measured the physical and chemical properties of products formed in different fractionation staes and made a correlative analysis of the influence of depressurization and gas washing on oil/gas molecular composition and the rule of fractionation.The analytical results showed that gas washing is an important factor affecting the physical properties of crude oils.and also can be regarded as a good genetic interpretation of marine wax-high oils in the Tarim region,Xinjiang,China.Phase-controlled and gaw-washing fractionations can lead to the formation of condensates and their differences in chemical composition from crude oils are a direct reflection of evaporating fractionation.Phasecontrolled and gaw-washing fractionations have a great influence on the composition of molecular compounds and relevant parameters.So phase-controlled and gas-washing fractionations during the formation of petroleum reservoirs are not only favorable to identifying different processes of formation of petroleum reservoirs,but also to the scientific application of routine geochemical parameters.

The calculation of hydrocarbon-generating temperature——Theory and practice

How to quantitatively evaluate the maturity of crude oils is still an open question. Mango discovered a remarkable compositional invariance of four isoheptane ratios in crude oils, and proposed a steady-state catalytic model for the origin of light hydrocarbons. According to this model, 2,4/2,3 dimethylpentane ratio is a pure temperature parameter. Bement, Mango et al. established the functional equation between the two parameters-light hydrocarbon temperature and burial temperature and applied it to the calculation of hydrocarbon-generating temperature, which provided a new choice for the study of oil maturity. In this paper, the Mango's parameters for hydrocarbons from the Tazhong area were calculated, the average K1 value is 1.06, which is in good consistency with the Mango's proposal that the K1 value is relatively stable. Calculated with the functional formula of hydrocarbon-generating temperature, the hydrocarbon-generating temperatures are with the range of 120-129℃, and the converted vitrinite reflectance (Ro) varies from 0.88% to 0.90%. This is well consistent with the maturity characteristics of neohopanes. The results have verified the reliability of this method.     

Metasomatic Mechnanism of Weathering—Pedogenesis of Carbonate Rocks：I.Mineralogical and Micro—Textural Evidence

On the basis of mineralogical ,geochemical and micro-textural studies of the typical sections of the red weathering crust of carbonate rocks in the subtropical karst areas of Guizhou Province and Guangxi Autonomous Region,we have found,either on a microscopic or on a mac-roscopical scale and in different positions of the sections,the most direct and most important mineralogical and micro-textural evidence for the development of metasomatism in the process of weathering-pedogenesis of numerous carbonate rocks.This paper also has expounded for the first time and systematically the mechanism of metasomatism involved in the process of weathering-pedogenesis of carbonate rocks and proposed the sequence of mineral metasomatic evolution in the process of weathering-pedogenesis of carbonate rocks.     

Distribution and Influence of Iron Phases the Physico—Chemical Properties of Phyllosilicates

Clay minerals from different Cretaceous stratigraphic successions of Egypt were investigated using XRD,DTA,dissolution analysis(DCB),IR,Moessbauer and X-ray Electron Spin Resonance(ESR) spectroscopes.The purity of the samples and the degree of their structural order were determined by XRD.The location of Fe in the octahedral sheet is characterized by absorption bands at-875cm^-1 assigned as Al-OH-Fe which persist after chemical dissolution of free iron.The Moessbauer spectra of these clays show two doublets with isomer shift and quadrupole splitting typical of octahedrally coordinated Fe^3 ,in addition to third doublet with hyperfine parameter typical of Fe^2 in the spectra of Abu-Had kaolinite (H) sample.Six-lines magnetic hyperfine components which are consistent with those of hematite are confirmed in the spectra of both Isel and Rish kaolinite samples.Goethite was confirmed by both IR and DTA.Multiple nature of ESR of these clays suggested structural Fe in distorted octahedral symmetry as well as non-structural Fe.Little dispersion and low swelling indices as well as incomplete activation of the investigated montmorillonite samplas by NaCO3 appear to be due to incomplete disaggregation of montmorillonite particles.This can be explained by the ability of Fe-gel to aggregate the montmorillonite into pseudo-particles and retard the rigid-gel structure.However,extraction of this ferric amorphous compound by dithonite treatment recovers the surface properties of the montmorillonite samples.On the other hand,the amount and site occupation of Fe associated with kaolinite samples show an inverse correlation with the parameters used to describe the degree of crystallinity perfection,color,brightness and vitrification range of these kaolinite samples.

Fractal and Multifractal Propertiesof the Spatial Distribution of Natural Fractures——Analyses and Applications

The Cantor's dust theory is applied to investigate the scaling properties of the spatial distribution of natural fractures obtained from detailed scanline surveys of 27 field sites in the Appalachian Plateau of western New York, USA. The results obtained in this study indicate: 1) fracture spacing is characterized by fractal and multifractal properties. On small scales analyses yield an average fractal dimension of 0.15, which suggests a very high degree of clustering. In contrast, on large scales, fractures tend to be more regular and evenly distributed with an average fracture dimension of 0.52; 2) fractal dimension varies with different sets in different orientations, which can be attributed to interactions between pre-existing fractures and younger ones, as well as variations of the intensity of the stresses under which the fractures were formed; 3) a time sequence of fracture set formation can be proposed based on fractal and multifractal analyses, which consists of (from old to young): N-S, NW, EN

南京泗洪炭兽的发现及六合组、雨花台组的时代

在南京六合发现一保存较好的下颌骨化石,保存有5枚完整的臼齿。经刘冠邦教授鉴定,认为与他1993年在江苏北部泗洪地区发现的泗洪泗洪炭兽(Sihongotherium sihongense Liu et zhang)相似,但臼齿相对稍小,且齿冠磨损严重,故仅确定为泗洪炭兽未定种(Sihongotherium sp.),时代属中中新世;其照片经邱占祥院士鉴定也认为属炭兽类无疑。炭兽类始于欧、亚始新世中期,渐新世扩展到非洲和北美,到中新世灭绝。炭兽类在我国过去仅分别发现于内蒙、山西、云南的始新世至渐新世地层中,贵州也曾发现两枚臼齿,但时代不祥。由于化石较重要,经在六合实地调查,化石应产于六合组。六合组和雨花组是归于上新世或中新世,一直有争论,故泗洪炭兽在南京六合的发现,为六合组和雨花台组应为中新世提供了新的重要化石依据。

1849年长江中下游大水灾的时空分布及天气气候特征

清道光二十九年（1849年）长江中下游地区的大水灾,对民生造成了严重的影响。作者系统收集了档案、方志、日记和文集资料中关于该年份水灾的记载,以县级成灾分数资料为基础,重建了此次水灾的时空分布,并分析了形成这次水灾的天气气候特征。研究认为,该年度水灾基本在N28°～N33°间呈条状东西向分布,而以N31°一线的灾情最为严重;连续性的降水开始于5月18日左右,到7月18日才结束,中间还有3次持续各达10余天的强降雨过程;这次大水灾是全流域性的,涝灾大于洪灾,降水最集中区域为东部的太湖流域,这和有器测记录的几次长江全流域大洪水并不一致;本次大水灾的直接天气成因是梅雨期提前并超长,雨量明显偏大,持续时间长达62天左右,比有器测记录的更早、更长;当年夏季风应偏弱,副热带高压脊线位置异常偏南,且西风分支明显,经向环流发展,西风南支位置应该也异常偏南;夏季冷空气异常活跃可能是雨带长期在长江沿岸徘徊的真正原因。     

红藻石和蓝藻石概念及分类归属的综述和修订

在分析和总结前人对红藻石和蓝藻石研究成果基础上,结合岩石薄片显微镜下观察实例,发现在以往碳酸盐岩颗粒分类中没有红藻石和蓝藻石的合适位置。鉴于红藻石重要的成因意义和造礁作用,有必要明确红藻石的概念和归属。珊瑚藻本身极易钙化,经生物矿化作用最终保存下来的珊瑚藻屑一直放在生物碎屑中,而红藻石是由非固着的珊瑚藻构成的钙质独立结核,因此也可以被划分到生物碎屑中。蓝藻石作为蓝细菌钙化作用的产物,同时鉴于蓝藻石的广泛存在,把钙化蓝细菌形成的核形石命名为蓝藻石,这一重要概念从提出到现在一直被使用。然而蓝绿藻概念已变更为蓝细菌,蓝藻石的形成与藻类无关,显然将其称作蓝菌石更加确切。因此,应将红藻石和蓝藻石分别归为生物碎屑和核形石当中,并用新的术语蓝菌石替代蓝藻石。其意义在于使红藻石和蓝藻石的概念及归属更为规范,并为碳酸盐岩颗粒的深入研究提供有益线索。

Measurement and analysis of near-field blast vibration and damage

Summary Blast vibration and its attenuation within the rock mass immediately adjacent to a blast hole (2–15 m) were monitored for a blast hole diameter of 100 mm and a 2.4 m column of an emulsion explosive charge. Peak particle velocities calculated from the measured accelerations were compared with predictions from the charge-weight scaling law using typical site parameters which would be adopted for many far-field vibration predictions. It was found that the vibration amplitudes predicted by the conventional charge-weight scaling law are significantly lower than measured values. Strain and strain rates at different monitoring holes were calculated from experimental data. Using attenuation analysis of different frequency bands of measured acceleration signals, it was found that blast vibration attenuation between 2 m and 4 m depended not only on frequency but also on amplitude. A failure wave was postulated based on observations at the monitoring hole 2 m from the blast. A blast damage zone was evaluated using borehole camera and cross hole seismic studies. The damage zone in the rock was also analysed according to acceleration waveforms measured at different monitoring locations. The use of different techniques to measure blast damage provided an accurate assessment of the blast damage volume.

鄂尔多斯盆地前侏罗纪古地貌形成演化及沉积充填特征

采用河流阶地、河谷形态和残余厚度等方法,结合地震和钻井资料,恢复了鄂尔多斯盆地前侏罗纪古地貌形成演化阶段及其特征。结果表明,三叠纪末期盆地主要经历了两次特征不同的构造抬升侵蚀过程,第一次为整体性均衡抬升,抬升侵蚀作用较强;第二次为宽缓V字型不均衡抬升,抬升侵蚀作用相对较弱。前侏罗纪古地貌的形成是晚印支构造运动的侵蚀响应,根据抬升期次晚印支运动可以分为两个亚幕。随着抬升侵蚀的结束,古地貌中河谷首先开始了沉积充填,先后沉积了限制性河谷环境的富县组和半限制河谷环境的延安组延10段河流相地层。     

银额盆地及周缘石炭系和二叠系沉积之后构造改造初探

通过银额盆地周缘野外地质调查,结合岩石薄片显微构造、磷灰石裂变径迹研究,以及盆地内部综合物化探与地震剖面、钻井等资料,对银额盆地及周缘晚古生代与中新生代地层构造变形及改造进行了分析,并对石炭系与二叠系后期构造改造期次及动力学机制进行了初步探讨。就石炭系和二叠系构造变形而言,露头区构造变形强于盆地内部,北山地区变形程度强于洪格尔山地区。石炭系与二叠系主要遭受了华力西末期、早中燕山期、燕山晚期、喜马拉雅期构造改造作用。第一期变形强烈,以差异隆升为主;第二期区域上变形最强烈,主要表现为区域抬升及大规模的逆冲推覆构造;第三、四期主要为轻微的差异升降作用,分别受控于太平洋板块向华北地块俯冲和印度板块向欧亚大陆俯冲的远程效应。石炭系与二叠系多套烃源岩于早白垩世末期达到最大埋深,进入主要生烃期,早白垩世以来受后期构造改造较弱,形成的大面积河湖相沉积可作为有效的储层与盖层,为银额盆地油气成藏提供了良好的生储盖条件。
