Stratigraphy and Geochronology of Vertebrate Fossil‐Bearing Jurassic Strata from Linglongta,Jianchang County,Western Liaoning,Northeastern China

Northeastern China contains widely distributed Jurassic terrestrial strata that have yielded many spectacular mammal and pterosaur fossils, in addition to feathered dinosaur fossils and more recent discoveries from Jianchang, particularly from western Liaoning. However, the fossil-bearing stratigraphic succession, regional correlation, and age estimates of the fossils found in Jianchang County and nearby areas have been contentious. Here, we report on the vertebrate fossil-bearing Jurassic stratigraphy from Linglongta, Jianchang County, western Liaoning, including a SHRIMP U-Pb zircon date unambiguously associated with the fossil horizons. The primary goal was to determine the vertebrate fossil-bearing succession. A further aim was to provide age estimations for the fossil-bearing horizon as well as the earliest appearance of feathered dinosaurs, the eutherian–placental clade, and transitional pterosaurs. Field investigations showed that the vertebrate fossil-bearing stratigraphic succession in Jianchang County mainly consists of basal andesites overlain by rhythmic tuffs and tuffaceous lacustrine sediments, with the upper intermediate or acidic lavas interbedded with laminated more or less tuffaceous lacustrine deposits. This sequence correlates well with the Middle Jurassic Lanqi/Tiaojishan Formation in northeastern China. Detailed and accurate field observations showed that the well-preserved vertebrate fossils were buried in either the middle or the upper fine-grained laminated lacustrine deposits. Previous and current SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dates provide an age estimation of 161–159 Myr for the fossil-bearing horizon and vertebrates. This indicates that the earliest appearance of feathered dinosaurs here was more than 159 Myr ago and unquestionably older than Archaeopteryx from Germany, making these the earliest known feathered dinosaurs in the world. Furthermore, the eutherian–placental clade and the known transitional pterosaurs first emerged no later than 161 Myr. The vertebrate assemblage unearthed recently from Linglongta and neighboring areas in Jianchang County belongs to the Daohugou Biota. In addition to feathered dinosaurs, this biota was characterized by mammals, primitive pterosaurs, insects, and plants and was present in Inner Mongolia, western Liaoning, and northern Hebei in northeastern China during the Middle–Late Jurassic.     

页岩气地震勘探数据采集参数选择的研究

我国页岩气重点开展区域为南方海相沉积地层,地震地质条件相对复杂,数据采集难度较大。贵州凤冈某页岩气勘查区块,属典型的喀斯特低山地貌,地形起伏大,地震施工困难,同时寒武系下统牛蹄塘组页岩层埋藏较深,反射波能量较弱,原始资料信噪比偏低。参考邻区地震勘探经验,采用二种方法论证野外施工参数:一是在勘探区选取论证点设计物理模型进行理论计算;二是以勘查区内向斜部位设计地质模型进行正演模拟求取。在此基础上通过进行不同岩性、井深、药量等激发接收参数的试验,确定了该区块的野外施工方案。该区页岩气地震勘探野外施工参数的选择方法,有效保障了其页岩气地震勘探效果。     

内蒙古大青山地区古元古代花岗岩:地球化学、锆石SHRIMP定年及其地质意义

内蒙古大青山地区沿固阳-武川断裂带南侧发现一条古元古代花岗岩岩带,由石英闪长岩-闪长岩-角闪二长花岗岩组合构成.本文对其中典型代表厂汉脑包石英闪长岩、常福龙闪长岩和口子村角闪二长花岗岩进行了锆石定年和地球化学研究.地球化学上,石英闪长岩具有埃达克质花岗岩的特点,为低硅埃达克质花岗岩;大部分闪长岩具有赞岐岩的地球化学特征,部分具Closepet花岗岩特征;角闪二长花岗岩则全部具有Closepet花岗岩特征.根据锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年,它们形成于2416~2435Ma之间,并遭受古元古代晚期构造热事件改造.表明在该区古元古代早期真正意义的板块构造已起作用,从岩浆演化的角度说明前寒武纪构造体制发生重大转变.

中央地质调查所的北碚岁月

北碚,地处重庆主城西北部,背靠缙云山,嘉陵江环城而过,拥有宜人的自然风光和厚重的人文底蕴,历史上翁文灏、黄汲清、李春昱、侯光炯等科学巨匠都曾在此耕耘,特别是1937-1945年日本侵略中国期间,一大批东部地区科研学术机构和科学工作者内迁于此,得以延续中国科学文化的国脉和精华,北碚成为了抗日战争时大后方闪耀的科技文化中心,当时,在中国近代历史上建立最早、机构最完备、科研水平最高的中央地质调查所（The National Geological Survey of China）就是其中之一。本文追溯了中央地质调查所在抗战时期内迁北碚,在学术研究、科学救亡方面作出的巨大贡献,以供世人追忆和缅怀。

“Three-Component” Digital Prospecting Method：A New Approach for Mineral Resources Quantitative Prediction and Assessment

“Three-component” method consists of three clase-connected aspects: geological anomaly,diversity of mineralization and mineral deposit spectrum. All these three concepts are not new separately, but it is a new approach to combine these three aspects in one single concept for quantitative mineral resources prediction and assessment and it is also the first time to conduct a more detailed study in each aspect. Investigation and clarification of geological anomalies, diversity of mineralization and spectrum of mineral deposits are realized by digitization and quantification of ore forming controlling factors, oreexisting symbols or marks, characteristics of mineralization and regulation of ore-genesis and laws of distribution. These procedures lead to construction of a “digital model“ for mineral resources prediction andassessment.

三类边坡失稳判据的统一性

将热力学理论中材料破坏的能量机制引入边坡工程中,推导了强度折减过程中边坡的能量方程,利用FLAC3D二次开发了能量的计算程序,并应用于某经典边坡算例中。通过与Spencer法的计算结果对比发现：强度折减法中边坡的稳定性与能量变化关系紧密,由此提出了4种新的失稳判据--能量突变失稳判据,且4种能量突变失稳判据理论上是统一的。通过对比发现：动能突变判据与数值计算收敛性判据、重力势能降突变判据与特征点垂直位移突变判据、耗散能增量突变判据与塑性区贯通判据分别存在对应关系,证明了常见的3类失稳判据也是统一的。通过算例试算发现,3类判据判定结果不相等主要是由收敛标准和网格精度等人为因素造成的,本质上是因为数值计算是一种近似解。工程应用中,可通过3类失稳判据判定结果的一致性来自评安全系数的计算精度,一致性越好,精度越高。提高计算精度的根本办法是严格收敛标准和精细网格划分,但应同时兼顾数值计算的时长,从而实现计算效率最大化。
