New Evidence for a Cretaceous Age for a Mesozoic Nonmarine Bivalve Assemblage from Paekto-dong, Sinuiju City, The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea

The Sinuiju Formation in Paekto-dong, Sinuiju City in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has yielded Mesozoic nonmarine bivalve fossils, which is the first occurrence of such in the DPRK. Based on these fossil specimens, a new Cretaceous bivalve assemblage, the Arguniella yanshanensis-Sphaerium anderssoni Assemblage is erected. This assemblage includes Arguniella yanshanensis, A. lingyuanensis and Sphaerium anderssoni and can be compared with the Jehol Biota. The age of the Sinuiju Formation is also clarified and on the basis of the bivalves and the presence of a Eosestheria–Ephemeropsis–Lycoptera(E–E–L) assemblage, the formation is not Upper Jurassic, but Lower Cretaceous in age.     

Middle Pleistocene interglacial deposits at Barling,Essex, England: evidence for a longer chronology for the Thames terrace sequence

Results are presented from a multidisciplinary study of fossiliferous interglacial deposits on the northern side of the Thames estuary. These fill a channel cut into London Clay bedrock and overlain by the Barling Gravel, a Thames–Medway deposit equivalent to the Lynch Hill and Corbets Tey Gravels of the Middle and Lower Thames, respectively. The channel sediments yielded diverse molluscan and ostracod assemblages, both implying fully interglacial conditions and a slight brackish influence. Pollen analysis has shown that the deposits accumulated during the early part of an interglacial. Plant macrofossils, particularly the abundance of Trapa natans, reinforce the interglacial character of the palaeontological evidence. A beetle fauna, which includes four taxa unknown in Britain at present, has allowed quantification of palaeotemperature using the mutual climatic range method (T_max 17 to 26 °C; T_min ?11 to 13 °C). A few vertebrate remains have been recovered from the interglacial deposits, but a much larger fauna, as well as Palaeolithic artefacts, is known from the overlying Barling Gravel. The age of the interglacial deposits is inferential. The geological context suggests a late Middle Pleistocene interglacial, part of the post‐diversion Thames system and therefore clearly post‐Anglian. This conclusion is supported by amino acid ratios from the shells of freshwater molluscs. The correlation of the overlying Barling Gravel with the Lynch Hill/Corbets Tey aggradation of the Thames valley constrains the age of the Barling interglacial to marine oxygen isotope stages 11 or 9. The presence of Corbicula fluminalis and Pisidium clessini confirms a pre‐Ipswichian (marine oxygen isotope substage 5e) age and their occurrence in the early part of the interglacial cycle at Barling precludes correlation with marine oxygen isotope stage 11, as these taxa occur only later in that interglacial at sites such as Swanscombe and Clacton. Thus by process of elimination a marine oxygen isotope stage 9 age would appear probable. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

UPLAND AGRICULTURE IN THE MAYA LOWLANDS: ANCIENT MAYA SOIL CONSERVATION IN NORTHWESTERN BELIZE*

ABSTRACT. In the 1970s scholars began to accept Maya terracing as the manifestation of ancient intensive agriculture and large populations. We examine many ancient terraces and berms excavated in the Three Rivers region of Belize, synthesize the geography and suggest the intent of terracing across the Maya Lowlands, and analyze the history of terracing and soil erosion. Terraces occur in several slope positions and diverted and slowed runoff, to build up planting surfaces that could maximize soil moisture. The first accelerated soil erosion occurred during the Preclassic period (1500 b.c. ‐a.d. 250). Maya terracing started in the Early Classic period (a.d. 250–600) and spread across the Lowlands with the great population expansion of the Late/Terminal Classic period (a.d. 600–900). Thereafter, the Maya would largely forsake terracing. Though abandoned for a millennium, many terraces still function in today's tropical forests and burning milpas.     

Deposition of climbing-ripple beds: a flume simulation

Thirteen runs were made in a small recirculating flume to simulate the deposition of the climbing-ripple sequences commonly present in fine-grained facies of fluvial and deltaic deposits. These sequences consist of intergradational climbing-ripple cross laminae and draped laminae. The experiments were based on the assumption that stratification type depends mainly on near-bottom flow structure and uniform sediment fallout from an overloaded flow. Various combinations of curves of velocity versus time and of sediment feed versus time in runs lasting from 45 to 840 min were used in an exploratory program; conditions for each run were selected on the basis of experience in previous runs. The runs verified that Type A (erosional-stoss) climbing ripples are produced by aggradation rates that are small relative to ripple migration rate, and Type B (depositional-stoss) climbing ripples are produced by aggradation rates that are large relative to ripple migration rate. Draped lamination results from continued fallout of sediment from suspension after ripple migration ceases or almost ceases. Comparison of geometric details of the ripple stratification produced in the flume runs with that in natural sequences, supplemented by considerations on maximum and minimum migration rates of ripples, suggests times of no more than a few tens of hours for the deposition of the climbing-ripple portions of sequences 10-20 cm thick. Runs in which deposition of a 20 cm sequence took more than 10 h produced such atypical features of ripple geometry as sharp crests, planar lee-side laminae, and angular toeset-foreset contacts.     

Petrology and geochemistry of hawaiite lavas from Crater Flat,Nevada

Hawaiite-type lavas were erupted in three cycles (3.7, 1.2, and 0.3 M.y.) at Crater Flat, Nevada. The compositions of all three cycles, considered together, form a straddling alkalic series as defined by Miyashiro, in which the less evolved basalts plot near the normative olivine-diopside divide and the more evolved basalts project into hypersthene or nepheline fields. Fractionation modeling based on the oldest cycle allows the removal of olivine, clinopyroxene, and amphibole to arrive at the more evolved hawaiite compositions. In general, fractionation of phlogo-pite or feldspar is limited by the fractionation modeling and by Eu/REE relations. In detail, all hawaiites within one cycle (3.7 M.y.) need not be derived from a single parent magma. Varied parentage is more evident between cycles although all cycles are consistently of hawaiite composition. Basalts of the youngest two cycles are generally enriched in trace elements. Superimposed on this enrichment is a lack of Rb variation, leading to Rb/Sr ratios far lower than required to generate the high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio (0.707) typical of basalts in this region. The very low Rb/Sr ratios limit processes that may lead to trace-element enrichment during magma evolution (cyclic recharge of a fractionating magma chamber). Decreased fractions of mantle melting leaving phlogopite in the residuum or an earlier event of metasomatic transport from phlogopite-bearing mantle rocks into a phlogopite-absent mantle assemblage might explain the observed trace-element enrichment with low Rb/Sr.     

Phonolitic Diatremes within the Dunedin Volcano, South Island, New Zealand

The Port Chalmers Breccia is a vent-filling, clastic volcanicunit exposed within the Miocene Dunedin Volcano of South Island,New Zealand. Clasts (up to in excess of 1 m but generally <20cm) are supported in ash and fine lapilli of phonolitic (ne-benmoreiteor tephro-phonolite) composition and the dominant clast type(55 to almost 100%) is also phonolitic. Less abundant lithologiesinclude ne-normative basalt (basanite), hawaiite, mugeariteand trachyandesite, syenites and microsyenites, coarse-grainedmafic (gabbros) and ultramafic rocks (pyroxenites, hornblendites),schists and sediments. The breccias were emplaced as diatremesassociated with localized, but highly explosive, eruptive eventsin which mantle-derived CO₂ was an important component. Thesyenitic and ultramafic clasts could represent intrusive suitesproduced by crystal fractionation acting on parental ne-benmoreitemagmas that may themselves have been derived by crystal fractionationfrom basanitic precursors. An alternative variation on thismodel is that the parental ne-benmoreites were generated throughpartial melting of an alkalic igneous underplate. Sr, Nd andPb isotopic compositions are strikingly similar to those ofintraplate igneous rocks, ranging in age from 100 to less than10 Ma, from elsewhere in the South Island, and New Zealand'ssub-Antarctic islands, the south Tasman Sea and the Ross Searegion. This regional, HIMU-influenced, isotopic signature isbelieved to be derived from within the lithospheric mantle.

Evolution and Genesis of Magmas from Vico Volcano, Central Italy: Multiple Differentiation Pathways and Variable Parental Magmas

Vico volcano has erupted potassic and ultrapotassic magmas,ranging from silica-saturated to silica-undersaturated types,in three distinct volcanic periods over the past 0·5Myr. During Period I magma compositions changed from latiteto trachyte and rhyolite, with minor phono-tephrite; duringPeriods II and III the erupted magmas were primarly phono-tephriteto tephri-phonolite and phonolite; however, magmatic episodesinvolving leucite-free eruptives with latitic, trachytic andolivine latitic compositions also occurred. In Period II, leucite-bearingmagmas (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_initial = 0·71037–0·71115)were derived from a primitive tephrite parental magma. Modellingof phonolites with different modal plagioclase and Sr contentsindicates that low-Sr phonolitic lavas differentiated from tephri-phonoliteby fractional crystallization of 7% olivine + 27% clinopyroxene+ 54% plagioclase + 10% Fe–Ti oxides + 4% apatite at lowpressure, whereas high-Sr phonolitic lavas were generated byfractional crystallization at higher pressure. More differentiatedphonolites were generated from the parental magma of the high-Srphonolitic tephra by fractional crystallization of 10–29%clinopyroxene + 12–15% plagioclase + 44–67% sanidine+ 2–4% phlogopite + 1–3% apatite + 7–10% Fe–Tioxides. In contrast, leucite-bearing rocks of Period III (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_initial= 0·70812–0·70948) were derived from a potassictrachybasalt by assimilation–fractional crystallizationwith 20–40% of solid removed and r = 0·4–0·5(where r is assimilation rate/crystallization rate) at differentpressures. Silica-saturated magmas of Period II (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_initial= 0·71044–0·71052) appear to have been generatedfrom an olivine latite similar to some of the youngest eruptedproducts. A primitive tephrite, a potassic trachybasalt andan olivine latite are inferred to be the parental magmas atVico. These magmas were generated by partial melting of a veinedlithospheric mantle sources with different vein–peridotite/wall-rockproportions, amount of residual apatite and distinct isolationtimes for the veins.
