A New Specimen of Shansisuchus shansisuchus Young, 1964 (Diapsida: Archosauriformes) from the Triassic of Shanxi, China

Shansisuchus shansisuchus Young,1964 was restudied on the basis of a new specimen.Some anatomical features that were either briefly or not described at all in the original study were detailed.The new specimen not only provides further information on the skull anatomy and the vertebral column but also expands the range of the geographical distribution of the taxon.With new information,the diagnosis of S.shansisuchus was emended and its phylogenetic relationships were further analyzed.S.shansisuchus differs from other archosauriforms primarily in the presence of a large subnarial fenestra anterior to the antorbital fenestra,tongue-in-groove articulations between the ascending process of the premaxilla and nasal and between the premaxilla and maxilla,a tall and posterodorsally directed ascending process of the maxilla,a knee-shaped process of the postorbital projecting into the orbit,a broad descending process of squamosal distally well forked and a large,deeply bow-shaped intercentrum tightly anchoring/capping the sharp ventral edges of two neighboring centra together in cervical and at least first eight dorsal vertebrae.With additional information derived from the new specimen,the phylogenetic relationships of S.shansisuchus were reanalyzed;it is closely related to Erythrosuchus-Vjushkovia clade.     

祁连山俄博岭地区热融洼地与冻胀草丘活动层融化深度差异性对比研究

全球气候变暖背景下,活动层厚度的加深是多年冻土退化最主要表现特征之一,但其变化存在强烈的空间异质性,尤其是在复杂山地环境显得更为突出。以祁连山黑河流域俄博岭为研究区,采用钎探的方法,在样方尺度上探究冻胀草丘和热融洼地两种微地貌下伏活动层融化深度的差异性。结果表明：6—10月,冻胀草丘和热融洼地活动层融化深度的变化范围分别为（44.48±4.97）~（118.38±20.94） cm和（29.22±7.42）~（93.40±15.45） cm,且冻胀草丘活动层融化深度加深的速度快于热融洼地。样方尺度上,两种微地貌下伏活动层最大融化深度差异比较明显,冻胀草丘处的活动层融化深度是热融洼地的2倍之多,这主要由不同微地貌之间土壤含水量的差异而导致的。另外,借助一维热传导模型模拟了两种微地貌下的活动层热状态,结果表明土壤水分差异性致使热融洼地的融化深度较冻胀草丘浅。山地环境条件下,不同微地貌之间活动层融化深度差异性研究有助于为未来开展高精度活动层融化深度制图提供可靠的技术支撑。     

山西左云地区下白垩统左云组沉积相及其古气候意义

最近,山西左云地区下白垩统左云组中发现了保存完好的剑龙化石,笔者对左云组的沉积相、剑龙的埋藏环境及当时的古气候和进行了分析。系统的沉积学研究表明,左云组为一套典型的洪积扇沉积,是由泥石流和暂时性水流作用交替发育而形成的产物。根据岩性特征和剖面结构,可将左云组划分为扇根、扇中、扇缘及扇间四个亚相,剖面上可进一步识别出泥石流沉积、主槽—河道、漫洪—漫流带、辫流线四个微相。结合孢粉及古生物数据分析,早白垩世晚期,左云地区总体为亚热带沙漠边缘干旱环境,但仍体现出干旱和潮湿的无规律变化,突发的季节性暴雨或特大暴雨(千年一次)的出现,形成特大洪峰,短时间内形成巨厚的洪积扇砾岩—泥岩。剑龙埋藏环境为扇根—扇中部位漫洪—漫流带,是特大洪水期溢出主槽而于山前形成的"片汜沉积",剑龙陷于厚层泥质中而被埋藏保存下来。     

Phytoplankton composition and its ecological effect in subsurface cold pool of the northern Bering Sea in summer as revealed by HPLC derived pigment signatures

CHEMTAX analysis of high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) pigment was conducted to study phytoplankton community structure in the northern Bering Sea shelf, where a seasonal subsurface cold pool emerges. The results showed that fucoxanthin(Fuco) and chlorophyll a(Chl a) were the most abundant diagnostic pigments, with the integrated water column values ranging from 141 to 2 160 μg/m2 and 477 to 5 535 μg/m2, respectively. Moreover, a diatom bloom was identified at Sta. BB06 with the standing stock of Fuco up to 9 214 μg/m3. The results of CHEMTAX suggested that the phytoplankton community in the northern Bering Sea shelf was dominated by diatoms and chrysophytes with an average relative contribution to Chl a of 80% and 12%, respectively, followed by chlorophytes, dinoflagellates, and cryptophytes. Diatoms were the absolutely dominant algae in the subsurface cold pool with a relative contribution exceeding 90%, while the contribution of chrysophytes was generally higher in oligotrophic upper water. Additionally, the presence of a cold pool would tend to favor accumulation of diatom biomass and a bloom that occurred beneath the halocline would be beneficial to organic matter sinks, which suggests that a large part of the phytoplankton biomass would settle to the seabed and support a rich benthic biomass.

遥感植物地球化学方法的研究进展

近些年来随着遥感技术的不断发展,在植被覆盖区的金属矿床的探查中,遥感植物地球化学方法得到了越来越广泛的应用。文章从理论、技术和应用三个方面对遥感植物地球化学方法的发展进行阐述,并指出目前存在的问题。其中使用定量化的手段提取植物地球化学信息是未来的必由之路。然而在定量化的过程中,光谱尺度效应和空间尺度效应是两个重要的影响模型精度的因素。针对这个问题,文章提出两种解决方案来减小光谱尺度效应的影响,然而这两种方法的可操作性以及可靠性还需要进一步探讨。最后,文章对遥感植物地球化学方法的发展前景进行阐述,并指出在以后定量模型的建立中可以引入支持向量机、投影追踪等机器学习的方法。     

内蒙集宁地区孔兹岩系中大理岩的形成时代——长英质片麻岩中LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年的证据

研究区位于华北克拉通西部孔兹岩带东段的集宁一带,区内的孔兹岩系由下部的榴云片麻岩组合和上部的大理岩组合组成。在大理岩组合的底部发现了数层与薄层大理岩互层的长英质片麻岩,岩相学、锆石特征和原岩恢复指示该长英质片麻岩原岩为长石砂岩。对长英质片麻岩进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年分析,在70个锆石颗粒中获取了72组锆石数据。其中:碎屑锆石数据中年龄最小的为(2 091±20)Ma,可以代表长英质片麻岩原岩沉积时代的下限;19组集中在1.8～1.9Ga的变质锆石207Pb/206Pb表面年龄的加权平均值为(1 852±15)Ma(MSWD=0.7),该年龄值可以代表长英质片麻岩原岩沉积时代的上限。结合前人研究成果可以认为:集宁地区孔兹岩系中大理岩形成于(2 091±20)～(1 852±15)Ma的古元古代,并在(1 852±15)Ma遭受了区域变质作用,同时也进一步说明大理岩为孔兹岩系的重要组成部分;横贯西部陆块的孔兹岩带中,孔兹岩系原岩的源区曾存在大规模的花岗质岩浆活动,但是带内各个部位有着不尽相同的物源区;孔兹岩系不是由附近太古宙岩石提供碎屑物质的原地沉积,而是古元古代晚期构造作用叠置与附近太古宙岩石产在一起的外来构造岩片。
