对藏北羌塘盆地南缘色哇地区的三叠纪与侏罗纪地层进行研究,在下侏罗统曲色组之下发现了一套以灰岩为主的地层,建立了索布查组,该组下部产晚三叠世腕足类、双壳类、六射珊瑚,上部产早侏罗世菊石,因此确定索布查组地质时代为晚三叠世—早侏罗世。三叠系-侏罗系界线应在索布查组之内,三叠系与侏罗系可能为整合接触。     

The Triassic of Timor: Lithostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy and palaeogeography

The palaeontologically rich and lithologically diverse Triassic successions of Timor provide a key stratigraphic and palaeontological link between northwestern Australia and other terranes of former eastern Gondwana (present-day Southeast Asia). Timor is now located in the zone of collision between the northern margin of the Australian continent and island arc terranes bordering the Eurasian plate, with the Triassic successions exposed in a fold-and-thrust belt and an extensive mélange complex. Three formal lithostratigraphic units have been defined previously within the main Triassic succession in Timor (Niof, Aitutu and Babulu formations), with a fourth, the Wai Luli Formation, primarily Jurassic in age but extending down into the Triassic. The Niof Formation (Anisian to Ladinian, possibly also Early Triassic) is a fine-grained deepwater succession, succeeded conformably by the Aitutu and Babulu formations (Ladinian to Norian/Rhaetian), which were deposited contemporaneously, with the Aitutu Formation continuing locally into the Lower Jurassic. The Aitutu Formation consists of deep shelf limestones interbedded with shales and marls, while the Babulu Formation is a deltaic to turbiditic siliciclastic succession. The Late Triassic to Jurassic Wai Luli Formation is characterised by marine shales and marls.Informal stratigraphic units include the Cephalopod Limestone Facies, a Rosso Ammonitico-type deposit, which contains an extremely rich fossil fauna (particularly ammonoids) and ranges through the entire Triassic; and the Fatu Limestone and Pualaca Facies which consists of shallow to marginal marine carbonates (mud mounds, oolitic limestones and reefs) restricted to the Late Triassic. Facies diversity was low during the Early Triassic and Anisian, but became more pronounced from the Ladinian and continuing through the Late Triassic, probably as a consequence of renewed tectonic extension. Triassic extension was not associated with major volcanism, unlike a previous phase of extension in the Early Permian.The Cablac Limestone Formation, originally defined as a Miocene stratigraphic element, is now recognised to be at least partly Late Triassic–Early Jurassic in age, with lithologies comparable to parts of the Fatu Limestone. The stratigraphy of these shallow marine carbonate sequences is clearly in need of rigorous revision, but it is not yet possible to suggest appropriate redefined formations.     

Palynological evidence for Jurassic strata in the Panagarh area, West Bengal, India

The Rajmahal Traps were discovered in the Panagarh area, West Bengal, during the exploration for coal resources. A Gondwana succession was found beneath the traps, consisting of the Early Cretaceous Intratrappean Rajmahal Formation, the Early Triassic Panchet Formation and the Late Permian coal-bearing Raniganj Formation. The present palynological study was aimed at confirming the age of the Panchet Formation. As a result of this study it has been found that Jurassic sediments are also included in the Panchet Formation. The study has revealed that the Panchet Formation, defined on a lithological basis, is a time-transgressive unit extending from the Early Triassic to the Late Jurassic, with a phase of non-deposition between the Middle Triassic and Middle Jurassic.     

Late Triassic sauropodomorph and Middle Jurassic theropod tracks from the Xichang Basin,Sichuan Province,southwestern China:First report of the ichnogenus Carmelopodus

Upper Triassic and Middle Jurassic strata of the Xichang Basin in Sichuan Province, southwestern China, yielded important dinosaur ichnofossils. From the Xujiahe Formation of the Yiguojiao tracksite, we report a Late Triassic footprint assemblage in China and the first discovery of diagnostic Triassic sauropodomorph tracks in this region. The tracks share a number of features in common with the ichnogenera Eosauropus(Late Triassic) and Liujianpus(Early Jurassic). The neighboring Bingtu tracksite is stratigraphically younger(Shaximiao Formation, Middle Jurassic) and preserves small tridactyl theropod tracks that represent the first occurrence of the ichnotaxon Carmelopodus in China and Asia. While these tracks are morphologically comparable to those from the Middle Jurassic type locality in North America, the specimens from China show the proximal margin of the digit IV impression in a more cranial position, which may indicate a trackmaker with a relatively short metatarsal IV. In addition to the skeletal record, the Carmelopodus footprints document the presence of small theropods in the dinosaur fauna of the Middle Jurassic Shaximiao Formation.

云南禄丰地区首次发现晚侏罗世早期轮藻化石组合

近年来云南禄丰地区在地层学方面有两项重要的进展：①川街盆地不仅具有“禄丰晰龙动物群”, 在其上部还相继发现了中侏罗世“川街龙动物群”和相当晚侏罗世的恐龙化石;②按照国际地层规范,厘定并新建了一套侏罗纪岩石地层单位。新近又在前人称之为“上禄丰组”下部（川街组）及“酒红层”（麻地山组）中分别鉴定出中侏罗世轮藻组合Aclistochara maanshanensis-Aclistochara abshirira-Aclistochara karierica和晚侏罗世早期轮组合Aclistochara jaisalmerensis-Aclistochara karierica-Mesochara voluta。这一晚株罗世早期轮藻化石组合在中国属首次发现。     

新疆乌鲁木齐郝家沟晚三叠世似管状叶属(Solenites)植物新发现

笔者在新疆乌鲁木齐晚三叠世郝家沟组首次发现了茨康类似管状叶属一新种—郝家沟似管状叶(Solenites haojiagouensis sp.nov.)。该种以普通表皮细胞细长,不发育毛基乳突,气孔器纵向松散排列或呈单列等特征区别于似管状叶属已知种。由于似管状叶属以往仅在侏罗纪—白垩纪地层发现,当前新种的发现是中国晚三叠世似管状叶属的首次记录。新种的研究将为了解似管状叶属的分类以及恢复新疆地区晚三叠世古地理、古气候、古环境提供新的数据。     

原长翅蝎蛉亚目化石在中国陕西铜川地区首次发现

记述了原长翅亚目化石（Protomecoptera Tillyard,1917）在中国陕西铜川中三叠统中的首次发现,填补这个亚目化石在中国的空白.根据脉序特征,确定是2个新属、种：Glytochorista martynovae gen.et sp.,Phyllochorista orientis gen.et sp.nov.,属这个亚目的汤姆蝎蛉科Tomichoristidae O.Martynova,1958,从而将这个科的化石推向最高层位,即从早二叠世推向中三叠世,跨时5000多万年.从这个意义来讲,对研究该科从古生代晚期向中生代早期的演化有一定的重要参考价值.化石采自铜川中三叠世铜川组下段上部灰绿色泥页岩.新属、新种属于陕西昆虫群（系中三叠世陕西动物群或陕西生物群的一个化石门类）铜川昆虫组合的新成员,时代相当于欧洲拉丁尼期（Ladinian stage）.     

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。     

鲁西南莱芜、蒙阴、平邑盆地早第三纪地层的划分和对比

鲁西南地区分布着近东西向大致平行排列的早第三纪盆地群。在蒙阴、莱芜盆地早第三纪沉积称为官庄组，在平邑盆地称为卞桥组。依据沉积物特征和沉积旋回都能分为下段、中段和上段。通过对哺乳动物、介形类、轮藻、腹足类和孢粉等化石的研究可确定中段的沉积时代为早始新世，通过对轮藻、介形类和哺乳类动物的研究能确定下段和上段分别为始新世早期和中期。在卞桥组中段和官庄组中段发现介形类Ｃｙｐｒｉｄｅａ属，该属起源于晚侏罗世或早白垩世，在早白垩世繁盛，晚白垩世逐渐衰落，灭绝于晚古新世或早始新世，在早始新世沉积中的发现，是迄今在我国发现的最高层位。     

华北北部中新生代构造体制的转换过程

华北北部位于古亚洲和太平洋两大全球性构造域的交叠部位,其中新生代断裂演化、区域性不整合界面和盆地演化的地质事实显示华北北部中新生代存在5个挤压作用时期。自老至新为:①中三叠世末挤压期(老虎沟组或杏石口组前挤压期,峰值年龄 ≥ 215Ma);②早侏罗世末挤压期(海房沟组或九龙山组前挤压期,峰值年龄 ≥ 178Ma);③晚侏罗世末挤压期(义县组或东岭台组前挤压期,峰值年龄 ≥ 135Ma);④晚白垩世末挤压期(古近系前挤压期,峰值年龄65Ma);⑤古近纪末挤压期(新近纪前挤压期,峰值年龄25Ma).5个挤压期在时间上相对较短,并为6个时间较长,构造运动相对和缓或伸展的成盆沉积期一一隔开。6个成盆沉积期包括:早中三叠世、晚三叠世-早侏罗世、中晚侏罗世、白垩纪、古近纪、新近纪-第四纪。其中,中晚侏罗世、白垩纪、古近纪、新近纪-第四纪具有明显的伸展作用特征。也就是说,华北北部中新生代的构造演化过程是在前中生代华北克拉通岩石圈基础上发育起来的克拉通内(陆内或板内)成盆沉积与挤压变形的交替演化过程,在这一构造演化过程中,挤压作用和伸展作用均占有重要位置,总体来讲,挤压作用由强变弱,伸展作用由弱变强。伸展作用持续的时间长,挤压作用持续时间则相对较短。挤压作用和伸展作用交替出现,挤压构造和伸展构造间互发育。华北北部中新生代这种构造体制的转换过程,记录了从古亚洲洋构造域汇聚构造体制向太平洋构造域俯冲构造体制转换的大陆动力学过程。

Mesozoic intracontinental orogeny in the Qinling Mountains,central China

The Qinling Orogenic belt has been well documented that it was formed by multiple steps of convergence and subsequent collision between the North China and South China Blocks during Paleozoic and Late Triassic times. Following the collision in Late Triassic times, the whole range evolved into an intracontinental tectonic process. The geological, geophysical and geochronological data suggest that the intracontinental tectonic evolutionary history of the Qinling Orogenic Belt allow deduce three stages including strike-slip faulting during Early Jurrassic, N-S compressional deformation during Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous and orogenic collapse during Late Cretaceous to Paleogene. The strike-slip faulting and the infills in Early Jurassic along some major boundary faults show flower structures and pull-apart basins, related to the continued compression after Late Triassic collision between the South Qinling Belt and the South China Block along the Mianlue suture. Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous large scale of N-S compression and overthrusting progressed outwards from inner of Qinling Orogen to the North China Block and South China Block, due to the renewed southward intracontinental subduction of the North China Block beneath the Qinling Orogenic Belt and continuously northward subduction of the South China Block, respectively. After the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous compression and denudation, the Qinling Orogenic Belt evolved into Late Cretaceous to Paleogene orogen collapse and depression, and formed many large fault basins along the major faults.     

150 Million year history of North China Craton disruption preserved in Mesozoic sediments of the Ordos basin

ABSTRACT

The Ordos Basin, situated in the western part of the North China Craton, preserves the 150-million-year history of North China Craton disruption. Those sedimentary sources from Late Triassic to early Middle Jurassic are controlled by the southern Qinling orogenic belt and northern Yinshan orogenic belt. The Middle and Late Jurassic deposits are received from south, north, east, and west of the Ordos Basin. The Cretaceous deposits are composed of aeolian deposits, probably derived from the plateau to the east. The Ordos Basin records four stages of volcanism in the Mesozoic–Late Triassic (230–220 Ma), Early Jurassic (176 Ma), Middle Jurassic (161 Ma), and Early Cretaceous (132 Ma). Late Triassic and Early Jurassic tuff develop in the southern part of the Ordos Basin, Middle Jurassic in the northeastern part, while Early Cretaceous volcanic rocks have a banding distribution along the eastern part. Mesozoic tectonic evolution can be divided into five stages according to sedimentary and volcanic records: Late Triassic extension in a N–S direction (230–220 Ma), Late Triassic compression in a N–S direction (220–210 Ma), Late Triassic–Early Jurassic–Middle Jurassic extension in a N–S direction (210–168 Ma), Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous compression in both N–S and E–W directions (168–136 Ma), and Early Cretaceous extension in a NE–SW direction (136–132 Ma).     

扬子板块中部南山坪背斜的形成与演化

南山坪背斜位于扬子板块中部，核部上震旦统含有大量沥青，是一个被破坏的古油藏。笔者通过建造分析认为震旦纪至中三叠世属于古隆起发育阶段，进一步划分出震旦纪古隆起雏形期、早古生代古隆起保持期和晚古生代—中三叠世古隆起发展期。晚三叠世至新生代属于断裂褶皱发育阶段，进一步划分出晚三叠世—中侏罗世宽缓背斜发育期、燕山运动Ⅱ幕断展背斜发育期、燕山晚期和喜玛拉雅期背斜改造期。南山坪古油藏以上震旦统灯影组白云岩为储层，以上覆下寒武统牛蹄塘组黑色碳质泥岩和石煤为烃源岩，志留纪至中三叠世古隆起聚集油气，晚三叠世至中侏罗世是油气再分配和南山坪古油藏形成时期，之后是古油藏被破坏时期。     

粤东晚三叠世小水组——早侏罗世金鸡组古气候及构造背景的矿物和地球化学记录

对揭西灰寨剖面上三叠统小水组和惠州黄洞剖面下侏罗统金鸡组采集的泥岩和砂岩样品进行了全岩分析和ICP-MS微量、稀土元素测试和矿物成分分析,根据元素含量及其比值的变化,提出了粤东揭西地区晚三叠世小水组和惠州地区早侏罗世金鸡组水体整体为还原、厌氧环境,以干燥炎热气候为主。小水组w(∑REE)较大,轻稀土富集(LREE/HREE为10.86和15.63),重稀土较稳定(w(∑HREE) 为6.09×10^-6和7.99×10^-6),Eu负异常(δEu为0.67和0.87);金鸡组轻稀土富集(LREE/HREE=7.29~10.03),重稀土较稳定(w(∑HREE)为(15.39~19.72)×10^-6),Eu负异常(δEu=0.59~0.65)。泥岩稀土元素分布模式图和源岩判别图解显示,小水组和金鸡组源岩来自上地壳的沉积岩、花岗岩和玄武岩,小水组下部样品沉积物源岩较上部要深,金鸡组上部沉积物源岩较中下部要深。Dickinson图解、K₂O/Na₂O-w(SiO₂)、Zr-Th、La-Th-Sc、Th-Co-Zr/10判别图解和稀土元素特征值显示,晚三叠世揭西地区的构造背景为弧后伸展盆地,有被动大陆边缘特性,但也有大陆岛弧(由安第斯大陆边缘弧转变而来)的特性,其物源来自火山弧造山带。早侏罗世黄洞地区为弧后挤压盆地,具有被动陆缘特性,沉积物物源来自于切割的岩浆弧。     

关于创口海百合(Traumatocrinus)的分类、分布及古生态

在中国贵州关岭地区晚三叠世(卡尼期)小凹组(=瓦窑组)海生爬行动物和海百合化石库中产有大量完好保存的创口海百合(Traumatocrinus)(棘皮动物门,海百合纲)化石。根据对此类海百合分类、分布和形态构造及古生态的研究,特别是大量完好保存、且附着在漂浮木头上的群体化石标本的发现,进一步证明这种外形似海百合花的创口海百合营假浮游的生活方式。这类特化的海百合分枝起源于另一类底栖中三叠世石莲海百合科,很快占领了卡尼期初期的生态境,至卡尼期末创口海百合衰退以后,它的生态境在诺利期时为形态发生的趋同变异的链海百合(Seirocrinus)和五角海百合(Pentacrinites)所占领。     

延庆千家店地区硅化木赋存层位及形成时代分析

北京延庆千家店土城子组中的硅化木自发现以来,得到了众多学者的关注,但关于硅化木的赋存层位和形成时代一直未有定论,目前主流观点认为硅化木广泛发育于土城子组一段和二段的下部,关于其形成时代则自侏罗纪早期至白垩纪早期的论述均有,这种争论显然不利于木化石的保护、科普和进一步深化认识。在千家店土城子组进行的考察结果展现出与前人观点不同的线索。实地考察、剖面测量和年龄测试结果显示:原位埋藏硅化木形成时代应为晚侏罗世早期,赋存层位为土城子组一段下部,而土城子组二段下部的沉积特征反应出当时水位频繁升降,水体能量剧烈变化,火山活动暂时陷入沉寂的沉积环境,较难满足形成木化石的基本要求。
