Late Olenekian Radiolarians from Bedded Chert of Ashio Terrane, Northeast Japan,and Faunal Turnovers in Western Panthalassa during Early Triassic

Late Olenekian assemblages in the western Panthalassa have been recovered from bedded radiolarian chert sequences of an accretionary complex, the Ashio belt. These faunas are documented and considered in terms of radiolarian diversity and faunal turnover during the latest Permian to Middle Triassic time. The fauna includes 30 radiolarians belonging to Spumellaria or Entactinaria, with two relicts from the Late Permian. This late Olenekian fauna is markedly different from Permian and Asisian faunas, respectively, and is herein named the Minowa fauna. Study of the literaure indicates that radiolarian provinces were significantly disconnected between the western Panthalassa and eastern Tethys during late Olenekian time. Furthermore, 121 of 143 species disappeared during late Olenekian time, and in turn 118 new species appeared in the western Panthalassa around the Olenekian-Anisian boundary. It is concluded that faunal turnover occurred at least three times between the latest Permian and Middle Triassic.The first turnover is the Poalaozoie-type radiolarian extinction at the Permain-Triassic boundary,the second is the diversification of spheroidal Spumellaria and Entactinaria between early and late Olenekian time, and the third is a faunal turnover from the Minowa fauna to the true Mesozoic-type radiolarian famas that are characterized by mulit0segmented Nassellaria.     

黑龙江杂岩蓝片岩—云母片岩矿物成分及变质作用P-T条件

黑龙江构造混杂岩中保留着一套曾遭受过中高压变质作用的岩石,其代表性岩石为:蓝片岩-云母片岩;蓝闪石、铁蓝闪石和多硅白云母(单位结构中Si=3.37～3.46>3.30)等具有中高压性质的典型变质矿物在岩石中平衡共生.蓝片岩-云母片岩组合至少经历了早期和晚期两阶段变质,早期为绿帘蓝片岩相,变质温压条件为T=320～460℃,P=7.8×108～11×108Pa.晚期为高绿片岩相,出现富镁绿泥石(XMg=0.565～0.646)交代早期钠质角闪石和多硅白云母等高压变质矿物现象,变质温度升高而压力有所降低,由石榴石云母片岩所限定的高绿片岩相变质条件为T=536～598℃,P=6.8×108～9.5×108Pa,属中温和中高压变质.
