中亚与亚洲中部晚白垩世的陆生脊椎动物组合对比

通过对前人建议的26个生物地层标志化石存在与否的简约分析,中亚与亚洲中部晚白垩世的陆生脊椎动物组合的相对层位得到了更清楚的揭示。此区最古老的组合是乌兹别克斯坦克孜勒库姆沙漠的Khodzhakul组合(早塞诺曼期),其次为蒙古戈壁沙漠东部BaynShire组的下部和上部的组合(塞诺曼期至桑顿期)。中国内蒙古二连达布苏动物群与中亚的土伦期—桑顿期动物群属于同一类群,因为它们均具龟鳖类Khunnuchelys,前者时代可能为桑顿期。三个中亚的组合(Bissekty、Yalovach和Bostobe组合)中有两个地方性的鳄形类(Kansajsuchus和Tadzhikosuchus)和一个出现于戈壁沙漠的鳄形类(Shamosuchus)化石。戈壁沙漠的坎潘期至马斯特里赫特期组合与北美同期动物群为同一类群。Djadokhta组与BarunGoyot组的坎潘期脊椎动物组合具有高度的地方性,并反应了半干旱的古环境。产自Nemegt组的组合生存于比较潮湿的环境。在组成上,这一组合与其他河流相沉积环境(Bissekty、二连达布苏以及北美Judithian期和Lancian期的组合)相似。具顶饰的鸭嘴龙Saurolophus的存在,支持了Nemegt组合为马斯特里赫特期时代。戈壁沙漠的这三个组合(Djadokhta、Barun Goyot和Nemegt组合)被归为一类,因为它们共同拥有地方性的龟类Mongolemys和兽脚亚目的小驰龙类。亚洲中部和北美的坎潘期至马斯特里赫特期组合与亚洲更加古老的组合不同在于存有暴龙科、肿头龙亚目和鸭嘴龙科。在中亚,由于地区性的海侵,这一时间段内的陆生脊椎动物组合多不清楚。     

澳大利亚前寒武系和寒武系迭层石的分布

前言我们在澳大利亚工作的目的是检验苏联迭层石分类及其分带方案(Scheme)的可靠性。我们发现他们的分类,如在别处讨论过的一样,在我们的迭层石中一般是可应用的。我们尽可能广泛地获得了迭层石在地理和时代(temporal)上分布范围的资料。普里斯(1971)对阿得累德(Adelaide)地槽前寒武纪和寒武纪迭层石作了详细的地层和岩相研究。沃尔特(1970,1972)研究了阿马德斯(Amadeus)、乔治纳(Georgina)、麦卡阿瑟     

土水势、未冻水含量和温度

从热力学观点来看,土水体系中的水分迁移是由于该体系中的水处于不平衡状态引起的。这种不平衡状态是由许多力,包括物理、物理化学、力学和水分迁移期间产生的其它过程综合作用的结果。 除重力水之外,土中各种水都受到土矿物颗粒表面能的作用,或者说受到毛细力和吸附力的作用。

Lower Paleozoic rocks exposed in various regions of Egypt (south central Sinai, north Eastern Desert and southwest Western Desert), in addition to occurring in the subsurface such as north Western Desert and the Gulf of Suez. The Lower Paleozoic rocks in Egypt include surface and subsurface rock units of formational status. The surface rock units are the Taba, Araba and Naqus formations. The subsurface rock units include the Shifa, Kohla and Basur formations. The Infracambrian Taba Formation has been discovered recently in the outcrops of the south eastern Sinai in the Taba-Ras El-Naqab area. It is missing and/or not recognized in the subsurface. The Taba Formation consists mainly of reddish brown, unfossiliferous gravelly fine-to medium-grained sandstones cemented by kaolinite and have subordinate beds of paleosols. The Cambrian Araba Formation and its subsurface equivalent (the Shifa Formation) are essentially composed of reddish brown, fine-grained laminated sandstone and siltstone with abundant Skolithos and Cruziana sp. In contrast, the Ordovician-Silurian Naqus Formation and its subsurface equivalents (Kohla Formation and Basur Formation) are mainly composed of white, unfossiliferous, cross-bedded, medium- to coarse-grained sandstones with haphazardly distributed pebbles and cobbles. Sedimentological analysis indicates that the Araba Formation and its equivalents were deposited in a marginal-marine environment, whereas the Naqus Formation and its equivalents were laid down in a fluvio-glacial environment. Integrated stratigraphic and sedimentological studies of the Lower Paleozoic rocks permit reconstruction of the paleogeography of Egypt at that time. Egypt has been largely controlled since the Cambrian by the pre-existing structural framework of the pre-Phanerozoic basement rocks inherited from the Late Proterozoic Pan-African event. Additionally, sedimentation processes were controlled during Cambro-Ordovician times by tectonic movements, whereas glacio-eustatic control predominated during the Late Ordovician-Silurian Period. These studies suggest that most areas of Egypt were exposed lands with episodically transgression by epicontinental seas related to the paleo-Tethys. These lands formed a part of a stable subsiding shelf at the northern Gondwana margin.     

澳大利亚与元三古代海底喷气矿床伴生的电气石岩

在绿片岩、角闪岩和麻粒岩和变质岩层中，电气石岩和富电气石的沉积物与喷气矿化伴生，它们遭受了中等到强烈的变形，呈连续层状分布于褶皱构造附近，显示出诸如层理、递变层理、交错层理、层内滑动等沉积构造和拉裂构造。在高级变质作用区，它们显示变质结构，通常被再活化而成的石英－电气石脉所穿切。富电气石岩出现在由海底喷气而形成的Pb－Zn－Ag、Cu－Co、Cu－Bi、W、Sn、Au和稀土元素矿化的下部、内部及矿化之上，且在横向上与矿化同期的地层中。在一些地方，电气石岩没有上述矿化现象，也不与花岗质岩石相伴生。电气石的成分是黑电气石－镁电气石，虽反映了其全岩成分，但不能作为矿化的标志。虽然电气石是与花岗岩、交代岩、角砾岩简伴生的普通矿物，但本文描述的富电气石层为山硅电气石前身的变质作用产生的富硼硅质铁建造。它们是一种常见的喷气岩类型，并且常常出现在早－中元古代厚层的泥质变沉积岩和蒸发岩层序中。这就说明硼是由含硼的粘土的淋滤作用或由含硼酸盐的蒸发岩的淋滤作用产生的。     

Sr,Nd,Pb Isotope Geochemistry and Magma Evolution of the Potassic Volcanic Rocks,Wudalianchi,Northeast China

Wudalianchi volcanic rocks are the most typical Cenozoic potassic volcanic rocks in easten China.Compositional comparisons between whole rocks and glasses of various occurrences indicate that the magma tends to become rich in silica and alkalis as a result of crystal differentiation in the course of evolu-tion.They are unique in isotopic composition with more radiogenic Sr but less radiogenic Pb.^87Sr/^86Sr is higher and ^143Nd/^144Nd is lower than the undifferentiated global values.In comparison to continental pot-ash volcanic rocks,Pb isotopes are apparently lower.These various threads of evidence indicate that the rocks were derived from a primary enriched mantle which had not been subjected to reworking and shows no sign of incorporation of crustal material.The correlation between Pb and Sr suggests the regional heterogeneity in the upper mantle in terms of chemical composition.     

海相碳酸盐和磷酸盐的钐-钕法:海水中钕同位素和大陆壳年龄的关系

本文研究了整个地质年代海水中确定 Nd 同位素变化的可能性,调查了方解石、霞石、磷灰石可以作为记录海水εNd 值的可能矿物相。海相环境下近代生物成因和无机沉淀的方解石和霞石,其含 Nd 量为0.2ppb 至70ppb,表明原生海相 CaCO_3含有很少的稀土元素,而且 Nd/Ca 比值相对于碳酸盐沉淀期间的海水来说也没有增加很多。非常年轻的不含大陆岩屑的海成石灰岩、白云岩、含 Nd 量约为200ppb。     

应用卫星资料分析和预报热带气旋强度的方法

1.引言利用卫星云图监视热带风暴差不多有20年的历史了。1963年首次提出利用云图确定风暴强度的方法,当时是根据风暴云的形状以及它的云带和眼的外貌来确定强度。六十年代后期开始,一天已有几次的云图用来观察热带气旋,极轨卫星上的红外探测设备开始提供昼夜的观测,而早期的地球静止卫星提供白天时刻的连续监视,用卫星云图分析其强度。但是风暴云的特征与它的强度之间的关系,随时间有很大的变化,而且其特征的短时间的波动很大,有时足以模糊风暴发展的总趋势。单用一张云图做分析时,往往会使强度估计产生很大的误差。为了解决这个问题,提出了根据一系列云图特征,而不是仅仅依靠一张云图特征来估计每天强度的技术。
