Storm surge versus turbidite origin of the Coniacian to Santonian sediments in the eastern part of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin

A flyschoid facies occurs in the Bezno Formation (Coniacian up to Santonian) of the eastern marginal part of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin. According toJerzykiewicz (1970, 1971) this facies is of deep water, turbidite origin. He based his interpretation on the study of sedimentary structures. New palaeogeographic reconstruction of lithofacies relations, investigation of deep drillings and detailed sedimentological analysis, however, allowed new results concerning the sedimentary environments and depositional mechanism of this facies. According to the new model presented here, this flyschoid facies was deposited in a shallow marine environment. Clayey sedimentation was the natural response to normal environmental conditions, whereas sandstone intercalations reflect anomalous conditions during heavy storms. During these events, sands were transported basinwards up to distances of 25 km, with normal bottom currents, as well as turbidity currents, acted as transporting mechanisms. This flyschoid facies corresponds to other examples of clayey sequences with sandy storm layers.

Zusammenfassung Die Bezno Schichtenfolge (Coniac bis Santon) enthält im östlichen Randteil des Böhmischen Kreidebeckens sogenannte flyschoide Fazies. NachJerzykiewicz (1970, 1971) entstand sie im tiefen Wasser wie echte Turbidite. Die paläogeographische Rekonstruktion von Faziesbeziehungen, ausführliche Bearbeitung der Schichtenfolge in Bohrungen, und vollständige Beckenanalyse ermöglichten eine Neudeutung von Transportmechanismen und Ablagerungsmilieu. Es werden Beweise für Flachwassersedimentation erbracht. Das Sedimentationsgebiet entsprach einem Bereich der Tonablagerung, der von Zeit zu Zeit während anomaler Bedingungen — seltenen, sehr schweren Sturmfluten durch Sandzufuhr gestört wurde. Während dieser Sturmfluten wurde Sand ins Becken geschüttet bis zu einer Entfernung von 25 km von der Küste. Die Funktion von Traktionströmen wird diskutiert im Verhältnis zum Einfluß von Trübeströmen. Die beschriebene flyschoide Fazies entspricht Schichtfolgen mit sandigen Sturmflutlagen.

Résumé Dans la partie marginale du Bassin Crétacée de Bohême, la formation de Bezno (Coniacien à Santonien) est caractérisée par le développement du faciès flyschoide. Ce faciès a été étudié parJerzykiewicz (1970, 1971), qui a proposé son origine dans un bassin profond, sous l'activité de courants de turbidité. L'étude détaillée de la succession des couches dans les forages profonds, de nouvelles données sédimentologiques ainsi que la reconstruction paléogéographique ont amené l'auteur à établir un nouveau modèle de mécanisme de transport dans les milieux de sédimentation. Selon ce modèle le faciès flyschoid se déposerait dans la mer épicontinentale peu profonde. Les argiles marquent les conditions normales de ce milieu sédimentaire; les grès reflètent des conditions hydrodynamiques anomales au cours de tempêtes rares et très fortes. Durant ces tempêtes les sables côtiers ont été redéposés dans des fonds plus profonds jusqu' à une distance de 25 km. La fonction des courants de traction est discutée en rapport avec l'influence des courants de turbidité entant qu' agents de transport. Le faciès étudié est comparable avec les séquences des argiles à intercalations de grès.

Die Kristallstruktur des Minerals Eclarit, (Cu,Fe) Pb9Bi12S28

Zusammenfassung Die Kristallstruktur des zuerst vonPaar, Chen undMeixner beschriebenen neuen Minerals wurde an der Originalprobe bestimmt. Für die prinzipielle Lösung der Struktur war eine Kombination von direkten und Pattersonmethoden erforderlich. Anhand von 2774 kristallographisch unabhängigen Röntgenreflexen (davon 1828 beobachtet) wurde die Struktur bis zu einem gewichtetenR-Wert von 10.7% isotrop verfeinert. Das Mineral ist orthorhombisch, RaumgruppePnma mit den Gitterkonstantena ₀=54.76Å,b ₀=4.030 Å,c ₀=22.74 Å undZ=4. Die Kristallstruktur ist durch galenitähnliche Bereiche, deren [110] Richtung parallel zurb ₀-Achse verläuft, gekennzeichnet. Die gegenseitige Anordnung dieser Bereiche ist teils kobellit-, teils cosalitähnlich. Die galenitähnlichen Bereiche sind vorwiegend wismuthhaltig (Koordination 3+2+1), während die Ph-Atome in einer trigonal-prismatischen Koordination mit 2 zusätzlichen Schwefelatomen vorwiegend als Bindeglieder dazwischen liegen.

The crystal structure of eclarite, (Cu,Fe)Pb₉Bi₁₂S₂₈

Summary The crystal structure of the new mineral eclarite, first described byPaar, Chen andMeixner was determined using the original material. It was necessary to apply a combination of direct and Patterson methods. The structure was refined for 2774 independent reflections (1828 observed) with isotropic temperature factors to a weightedR-value of 10.7%. Eclarite crystallizes in the orthorhombic space groupPnma with lattice parametersa ₀=54.76 Å,b ₀=4.030 Å,c ₀=22.75 Å,Z=4. The structure is characterized by galena-like building units with [110] (galena) parallel to theb-axis. These units are linked to each other partly as in kobellite, partly as in cosalite structures. Bi prefers to occupy the metal positions in the galena-like units, coordinated by 3+2+1S, whereas Pb occupies preferably the positions coordinated trigonal prismatic with two additional S. The latter groups serve to connect the galena-like units.

Eddy energy dissipation rate and puff diffusion during calms

The paper considers a puff diffusion in its inertial stage when particle separation obeys the laws of the inertial subrange and depends only on eddy energy dissipation rate . The can be determined in the surface layer by the turbulent kinetic energy equation. Similarity equations connect with diffusion measure .A simple analytical model has been deduced to estimate pollutants diffusion during calms.

Fault interaction and seismicity: Laboratory investigation and its seismotectonic interpretation

Systems of two parallel linear faults of the same length with the angle of inclination =45° were investigated under uniaxial linearly increasing load. Perspex plates were used as models. For each treated fault configuration the morphology of tensile cracks and the sequence of seismoacoustic events of shear and tensile origin were studied.It is shown that the seismic regime of a fault system is strongly influenced by the contact conditions on a fault plane; it is different in the faults with the aseismic contact, represented by open slits, and in the faults with the seismoactive contact, represented by filled slits, respectively.The experiments proved the dominating role of a fast shear displacement of the stick-slip type in the regime of seismic energy release of a fault system. The tensile crack generation seems to be only of little—if not negligible—importance. On the other hand, the existence of tensile cracks in a fault system can play an important role in the course of subsequent loading cycles because the stick-slip displacements can take place not only along the primary faults but also along the planes of tensile cracks.A comparison of some results of model experiments and the already published results of geological and seismological investigations indicated that the way of seismic energy relase on faults in nature and in the laboratory could be of the same character. Several analogies between the seismic regime of a fault model and of real seismic regions were found concerning the morphology of faults, off-fault fore- and aftershocks, and earthquake doublets, respectively.     

Effects of the imf sector structure in the midlatitude troposphere and stratosphere

Summary The data on geopotential heights and temperatures at 7 pressure levels between 1000-10 hPa above Berlin(52.5 °N, 13.4 °E) are analysed for the winters of 1963–1973. No demonstrable effect of the interplanetary magnetic field sector boundary crossing (IMF SBC) is found in the lower and middle stratosphere, but there is a demonstrable effect in the middle troposphere at the 500 hPa level. This effect is less important than the IMF SBC effect in the tropospheric vorticity area index and seems to be of a different type.

The relation between the heat flow field and the distribution ofP n -wave velocities for the European continent

Summary The dependence of P_n-wave velocities on the heat flow, temperature at the crustmantle boundary and the thickness of the Earth's crust in Europe was investigated in relation to the problem of lateral inhomogeneities in the upper mantle. A map was constructed of the distribution of P_n-wave velocities on the territory of Europe. The relations these investigations yielded, were compared with the results of laboratory experiments and all the results are discussed from the physical point of view. The conclusion drawn is that that temperature and pressure effect provide a sufficient explanation of the observed regional changes of P_n-wave velocities for the European continent.

The effect of quartz on the magnetic anisotropy of quartzite

Summary The magnetic susceptibility of quartz single crystals is diamagnetic (–14×10 ^–6 in SI units) and exhibits only very small anisotropy (mostly less than 1%); thus the susceptibility of the quartz matrix in quartzite can be regarded as virtually isotropic. Owing to the influence of the negative and isotropic susceptibility of the quartz matrix, the degree of anisotropy of quartzite, as inferred from model calculations, is higher than that of the ferrimagnetic fraction. This influence is very strong if the mean susceptibility of quartzite is in the vicinity of zero.
