江苏宜兴骆驼墩遗址地层7500-5400BC的海侵事件记录

Based on archaeological excavations, 217 samples were collected from the Luotuodun Site. Of them 63 samples from the section plane of the site layer were used for identification analysis of foraminifera, plant debris and seed fossils, and four samples were used for ¹⁴C dating and relevant analysis. Through many kinds of experiments, we have drawn some conclusions. Firstly, benthic foraminifera, such as Ammonia compressiuscula and Ammonia cff. sobrina, are found in the 10th layer, indicating that between 7500 and 5400 BC, i.e. before the emergence of the Majiabang Culture, Luotuodun Site and its nearby regions had ever experienced a marine transgression event. Secondly, we have found 450 plant fossils in this site, such as Polygonum sp., Scripus sp., Najas sp., Physalis sp., which indicated lacustrine or swamp environment.     

东海2万年来碳酸盐溶解作用变化:翼足类的记录

对东海84个表层沉积样品和5个重力柱状样中的翼足类和浮游有孔虫丰度、浮游有孔虫碎壳率和底栖有孔虫群中胶结质类的比例等进行了定量分析,确定了东海现代文石补偿深度（ACD）位于约600 m处,碳酸盐溶跃面在约1 400 m处.末次冰期时随着碳酸盐溶解作用的显著减弱,ACD大幅度下降至现代的1 000 m之下.     

南海深海沉积中的更新统/上新统界线及与意大利Vrica层型剖面的对比

应用浮游有孔虫定量统计、底栖有孔虫氧同位素和磁性地层学等资料来确定南海ODP1148站深海沉积中的上新统／更新统(P／P)界线。氧同位素期(MIS)64和65之间的P／P界线在1148站位于井深112．75m处，计算年龄为1．805Ma，在地层对比上与Vrica层型剖面的P／P界线一致。浮游有孔虫Pulleniatina obliquiloculata在MIS62出现以右旋壳为主的转变，计算年龄为1．76Ma，此事件和Olduvai极性亚时顶界看来是最接近P／P界线的可靠时间面。除此以外，在1148站P／P界线及其附近没有发现重大的地层学和环境变化事件。相比之下，1148站底栖δ^18O值在3．05～2．53Ma期间快速变重，冬季表层海水温度下降了5℃，指示了北半球冰盖的形成。     

长江流域全新世环境考古研究进展

长江流域是我国重要的经济区和人类文明孕育、诞生和发展区,也是水旱等自然灾害频繁发生的地区,在该区开展全新世环境考古研究,对弄清全新世10.0~3.0 ka BP无文字记载期的环境演变和人地关系互动影响有着重要的科学意义。近年来,长江流域全新世环境考古主要以古洪水和海面变化事件地层学为依据和线索,从遗址时空分布学研究、典型遗址考古地层学研究,以及区域内自然沉积地层记录的环境演变背景特征研究这三个方面入手,在长江流域的上、中、下游地区均获得了有重要意义的进展,表明长江流域全新世环境考古正在向更深更广的领域发展。同时,国际环境考古研究也在不断深入发展,新出版的PAGES Magazine杂志就特别关注了分辨率高达一年至数月的过去沉积记录;遥感、GIS等技术和DNA等分子生物学技术正不断在环境考古领域得到应用。     

山东省荣成地区泻湖活介形虫分布

一、前言泻湖沉积是海陆过渡带中分布广泛的一种沉积类型,正确识别地层中的泻湖相沉积不仅对于古地貌、古岸线和海面升降等古地理研究具有重要意义,而且在油气、岩盐等矿产的勘探上亦具实际价值。为探讨泻湖沉积物的微体古生物标志,我们对山东省荣成地区若干泻湖底质表层中活介形虫进行了调查,以期找出其分布规律,为“将今论古”用介     

Sedimentary facies of the subaqueous Changjiang River delta since the late Pleistocene

The sedimentary facies of the subaqueous Changjiang(Yangtze) River delta since the late Pleistocene was studied based on lithology and foraminifera analysis for two boreholes,CJK07 and CJK11,along with14C dating.Four sedimentary facies were identified,namely fluvial,tidal flat,offshore,and prodelta facies.The fluvial sedimentary facies is comprised of fluvial channel lag deposits,fluvial point bar deposits,and floodplain deposits,showing a fining-upward sequence in general with no benthic foraminifera.A layer of stiff clay overlies the fluvial deposits in core CJK07,indicating a long-term exposure environment during the Last Glacial Maximum(LGM).During the postglacial sea-level rise around 13-7.5 cal ka BP,the tidal flat facies was deposited in core CJK11,characterized by abundant silt-clay couplets.Euryhaline species dominate the subtidal flat foraminiferal assemblages,while almost no foraminifera was found in the intertidal flat.The offshore environment was the major sedimentary environment when the sea level reached its highest level around 7.5 cal ka BP,with a maximum accumulation rate of 10 mm/a found in core CJK11.Prodelta sediments have been deposited in core CJK11 since ~3 cal ka BP,after the formation of the Changjiang River delta.The difference in sedimentary facies between core CJK07 and CJK11 is due to their location: core CJK07 was in an interfluve while core CJK11 was in an incised valley during the LGM.Furthermore,AMS14C dating of core CJK07 shows poor chronological order,indicating that the sediments were reworked by strong tidal currents and that sediment deposited since ~7.7 cal ka BP in core CJK07 was eroded away by modern hydrodynamic forces caused by the southward shift of the Changjiang River delta depocenter.     

南海第四纪古海洋学研究进展

南海第四纪古海洋学研究,在近5年来取得迅速发展。从1994年的中德合作太阳号SO-95航次到1999年的ODP184航次,南海已经成为国际古海洋学研究的新热点。在地层学方面,南沙海区首次建起中国海第一个更新世深海地层序列,使用了包括4类微体化石的生物地层学、磁性地层学、同位素地层学和碳酸盐地层学的依据;至于最近4万年来的记录,东沙附近站位的时间分辨率精度已超过20a.文章还综述了海水表层温度等古海洋学参数测定,深海沉积中古气候,特别是古季风演变记录,以及深海沉积作用和突变事件等方面的研究进展。     

冲绳海槽南部两万年来的浮游有孔虫与古海洋学事件

冲绳海槽南部92-255和92-170两柱状样岩心的浮游有孔虫定量分析及其组合的变化、游浮与底栖有孔虫壳体δ18O测定和AMS14C测年资料,提供了末次冰期以来重要的古海洋学记录。浮游有孔虫的转换函数计算表明,海槽区末次冰期表层水温下降值及末次冰期的季节温差均比西太平洋开放海区相应纬度大,反映了边缘海对冰期-间冰期旋回中气候变化的放大效应,冰期-冰后期的对比还体现在由浮游有孔虫属种组合所反映的水团和水体垂直结构的变化上;末次冰消期古温度变化及浮游有孔虫δ18O变化记录了一次短暂的气候回返(10170～9170aBP);详细的地层分析还揭示了中全新世的一次Pulleniatina obliquiloculata含量低谷。     

渐新世初大冰期事件:南大西洋ODP1265站的记录

始新世—渐新世(EO) 过渡期间, 地球由两极无冰的“温室地球”进入到南极有冰的“冰室地球”, 其中以发生在早渐新世初的大冰期事件尤为意义重大.南大西洋ODP1265站氧碳稳定同位素在EO过渡期间发生重大变化, 表明早渐新世全球气温迅速下降, 南极大陆东部首次出现大规模永久性冰盖, 同时全球碳储库发生重大改组, 这一结果与全球其他地区的记录一致.碳酸盐含量、粗组分、浮游有孔虫碎壳率以及碳酸钙软泥的粒度在EO界线附近都发生了突变, 指示了海洋表层生产力的升高、碳酸盐补偿深度(CCD) 的突然加深以及气候快速变冷对生物和碳酸盐沉积的影响.
