Deepwater Ventilation and Stratification in the Neogene South China Sea

Combined data of physical property, benthic foraminifera, and stable isotopes from ODP Sites 1148, 1146, and 1143 are used to discuss deep water evolution in the South China Sea (SCS) since the Early Miocene. The results indicate that 3 lithostratigraphic units, respectively corresponding to 21-17 Ma, 15-10 Ma, and 10-5 Ma with positive red parameter (a*) marking the red brown sediment color represent 3 periods of deep water ventilation. The first 2 periods show a closer link to contemporary production of the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) and Northern Component Water (NCW), indicating a free connection of deep waters between the SCS and the open ocean before 10 Ma. After 10 Ma, red parameter dropped but stayed higher than the modern value (a*=0), the CaCO3 percentage difference between Site 1148 from a lower deepwater setting and Site 1146 from an upper deepwater setting enlarged significantly, and benthic species which prefer oxygen-rich bottom conditions dramatically decreased. Coupled with a major negative excursion of benthic δ13C at ~10 Ma, these parameters may denote a weakening in the control of the SCS deep water by the open ocean. Probably they mark the birth of a local deep water due to shallow waterways or rise of sill depths during the course of sea basin closing from south to east by the west-moving Philippine Arc after the end of SCS seafloor spreading at 16-15 Ma. However, it took another 5 Ma before the dissolved oxygen approached close to the modern level. Although the oxygen level continued to stabilize, several Pacific Bottom Water (PBW) and Pacific Deep Water (PDW) marker species rapidly increased since ~6 Ma, followed by a dramatic escalation in planktonic fragmentation which indicates high dissolution especially after ~5 Ma. The period of 5-3 Ma saw the strongest stratified deepwater in the then SCS, as indicated by up to 40% CaCO3 difference between Sites 1148 and 1146. Apart from a strengthening PDW as a result of global cooling and ice cap buildup on northern high latitudes, a deepening sea basin due to stronger subduction eastward may also have triggered the influx of more corrosive waters from the deep western Pacific. Since 3 Ma, the evolution of the SCS deep water entered a modern phase, as characterized by relative stable 10% CaCO3 difference between the two sites and increase in infaunal benthic species which prefer a low oxygenated environment. Thesubsequent reduction of PBW and PDW marker species at about 1.2 Ma and 0.9 Ma and another significant negative excursion of benthic δ13C to a Neogene minimum at ~0.9 Ma together convey a clear message that the PBW largely disappeared and the PDW considerably weakened in the Mid-Pleistocene SCS. Therefore, the true modern mode SCS deep water started to form only during the "Mid-Pleistocene climatic transition" probably due to the rise of sill depths under the Bashi Strait.     

皖中地区茅口晚期地层的划分对比——银屏组的建立及其意义

安徽长江流域二叠系分布广泛,发育完整,地表出露良好,含有多门类古生物化石,历来是研究我国华南二叠系的重要地区之一。前人曾对其做过大量的工作,取得了不少地质成果。但是,对于早二叠世孤峰组硅质岩之上、晚二叠世龙潭组下部长石石英砂岩段之下,一套以页岩为主的地层——即所谓“不含煤段”或“A煤组”（以下简称砂页岩段）,由于缺少生物地层资料,造成划分上的不统一、时代归属问题上的意见分岐。另外,在与繁昌、宿松等地孤峰组之上所谓“茅口灰岩”（胡海涛1951）或“新林段”（何炎等1964）

潮上带盐沼地层盐分分布及形成机制

为了探究潮上带盐沼系统地层盐分分布规律及其形成机制,本研究以江苏盐城近岸盐沼湿地为例,采用电阻率测量和土壤样品分析的方法,得出土壤孔隙水盐度空间分布,并分析其与生态地貌类型的关系。结果表明,盐沼平台10 m深度以下地下水盐分较高且空间分布均匀,5 m深度以上浅层孔隙水存在显著淡化,其程度与条带状生态地貌特征相关;近潮沟区域浅层土壤孔隙水盐度接近海水,而螃蟹孔洞和互花米草区域下方地层均存在低盐区,且前者规模更大;短期潮汐过程仅影响近潮沟区域的局部地层盐分,螃蟹孔洞明显促进了降水的下渗和脱盐作用,并有助于地表蒸发和盐分集结,增大了浅层土壤水盐度的垂向差异,而植被生长引起的根系优势流和蒸发抑制作用,有效降低了表层土壤的盐度水平。

冀北中生代高Sr低Y和低Sr低Y型花岗岩：地球化学、成因及其与成矿作用的关系

冀北是我国重要的金矿成矿区,冀北金矿有不同的类型,但大多与中生代中酸性侵入岩有关。本文的研究表明,冀北与金矿有关的中酸性侵入岩大体可划分为两类：一类为高Sr低Y型岩体,具有埃达克质岩的地球化学特征。推测可能是加厚的下地壳部分熔融形成的,其残留相为榴辉岩或角闪榴辉岩;另一类为低Sr低Y型岩体,以较低的Sr、Al和具明显的负铕异常而区别于埃达克质岩,又因其低Y和HREE而类似于埃达克质岩,推测源岩残留相中有斜长石存在,相当于高压麻粒岩相的环境,可能也形成于加厚下地壳底部。冀北金矿的S、Ph、H、O和C同位素大多显示深源的特点,且在时空分布上与上述两类中酸性侵入岩存在密切的关系,表明冀北金矿床的成矿物质和流体可能是幔源的,与中生代高Sr低Y和低Sr低Y型岩浆的成因有关。这一认识对于理解冀北金矿的成因和找矿可能是有益的。
