Deformation patterns of upper Quaternary strata and their relation to active tectonics,Po Basin,Italy

Despite increased application of subsurface datasets below the limits of seismic resolution, reconstructing near‐surface deformation of shallow key stratigraphic markers beneath modern alluvial and coastal plains through sediment core analysis has received little attention. Highly resolved stratigraphy of Upper Pleistocene to Holocene (Marine Isotope Stage 5e to Marine Isotope Stage 1) alluvial, deltaic and coastal depositional systems across the southern Po Plain, down to 150 m depth, provides an unambiguous documentation on the deformation of previously flat‐lying strata that goes back in time beyond the limits of morphological, historical and palaeoseismic records. Five prominent key horizons, accurately selected on the basis of their sedimentological characteristics and typified for their fossil content, were used as highly effective stratigraphic markers (M1 to M5) that can be tracked for tens of kilometres across the basin. A facies‐controlled approach tied to a robust chronology (102 radiocarbon dates) reveals considerable deformation of laterally extensive nearshore (M1), continental (M2 and M3) and lagoon (M4 and M5) marker beds originally deposited in a horizontal position (M1, M4 and M5). The areas where antiformal geometries are best observed are remarkably coincident with the axes of buried ramp anticlines, across which new seismic images reveal substantially warped stratal geometries of Lower Pleistocene strata. The striking spatial coincidence of fold crests with the epicentres of historic and instrumental seismicity suggests that deformation of marker beds M1 to M5 might reflect, in part at least, syntectonically generated relief and, thus, active tectonism. Precise identification and lateral tracing of chronologically constrained stratigraphic markers in the ¹⁴C time window through combined sedimentological and palaeoecological data may delineate late Quaternary subsurface stratigraphic architecture at an unprecedented level of detail, outlining cryptic stratal geometries at the sub‐seismic scale. This approach is highly reproducible in tectonically active Quaternary depositional systems and can help to assess patterns of active deformation in the subsurface of modern alluvial and coastal plains worldwide.     

The role of metal sulfates in thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) of hydrocarbons: Insight from the yields and stable carbon isotopes of gas products

The mechanism of thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) was investigated by separately heating n-C₂₄ with three different sulfates (CaSO₄, Na₂SO₄, MgSO₄) in sealed gold tubes at 420 °C and measuring the stable carbon isotope values of hydrocarbon (C₁-C₅) and non-hydrocarbon (CO₂) products. Extensive TSR was observed with the MgSO₄ reactant as reflected by increasing concentrations of H₂S, ¹³C depleted CO₂ and relatively low concentrations of H₂ (compared to the control). H₂S yields were already very high at the first monitoring time (12 h) when the temperature had just reached 420 °C, suggesting that TSR had commenced well prior to this temperature. Only trace amounts of n-C₂₄ and secondary C₃-C₅ alkanes were detected at 12 h, reflecting the efficient TSR utilization of the reactant and lower molecular weight alkane products. Ethane levels were still relatively high at 12 h, but declined thereafter as it was subject to TSR in the absence of higher molecular weight alkanes which had already been utilized. Methane yields were consistently high throughout the 48 h MgSO₄ treatment. The temporal decrease in the concentrations of alkanes available for TSR may also contribute to the sharp enhancement of CO₂ after 36 h. Absence or dampening of the molecular and isotopic trends of MgSO₄ TSR was observed with Na₂SO₄ and CaSO₄ respectively, directly reflecting the levels of TSR reached using these sulfate treatments.For all treatments, the δ¹³C values of C_1-5n-alkanes showed an increase with both molecular weight and treatment time. MgSO₄ TSR led to a 5-10‰ increase in the δ¹³C values of the C₁-C₅ hydrocarbons and a 20‰ decrease in the δ¹³C value of CO₂. The significant ¹³C depletion of the CO₂ may be due to co-production of ¹³C enriched MgCO₃, although this remains unproven as the δ¹³C of MgCO₃ was not measured. The difference in the δ¹³C values of ethane and propane (Δδ¹³C_EP) increased in magnitude with the degree of TSR, and this trend could be used to help evaluate the occurrence and extent of TSR in subsurface gas reservoirs.

湖北徐家山锑矿床铅同位素组成与成矿物质来源探讨

徐家山锑矿床位于湖北省通山县境内,矿体赋存于上震旦统灯影组和陡山沱组地层中.对采自该矿的辉锑矿进行了系统的铅同位素测定.结果表明,在徐家山矿区范围内存在两组明显不同的铅同位素组成:A组206Pb/204Pb为18.874～19.288,207Pb/204Pb为 15.708～15.805, 208Pb/204Pb为38.642～39.001, 为高放射性成因铅;B组以低放射性成因铅为特征,其同位素组成206Pb/204Pb为17.882～18.171,207Pb/204Pb为15.555～15.686,208Pb/204Pb为37.950～38.340.对应地,相关参数也明显不同,如单阶段模式年龄,A组为负值或极小的正值,而B组为636～392 Ma.铅同位素组成与某些相关参数(Δγ与Δβ、V1与V2)之间呈明显线性正相关关系.根据铅构造模式和矿石铅同位素的Δγ-Δβ成因分类图解等综合分析,A组辉锑矿的铅主要来源于赋矿围岩--震旦系海相碳酸盐岩,B组主要来源于赋矿围岩的下伏基底碎屑岩--中元古界冷家溪群浅变质岩系.研究结果不支持前人沉积-改造成因的观点,成矿物质是多来源的,部分成矿物质来自基底地层.

A New Genus and Species of Sapeornithidae from Lower Cretaceous in Western Liaoning, China

Sapeornithidae is a basal pygostylian family of Early Cretaceous primitive birds, in which only one genus and species, Sapeornis chaoyangensis, was reported before. This paper deals with a new genus and species of this family, Didactylornis jii gen. et sp. nov., which was unearthed from the Early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation in western Liaoning. According to our phylogenetic analyses, both Didactylornis gen. nov. and Sapeornis form a sister group, which is basal to the clade formed by Confuciusornis and all the more derived birds, and more closely related to the short-tailed pygostylian birds than to the long-tailed avialian birds. The early history of pygostylian birds is poorly documented except for the studies of Confuciusornis and Sapeornis. The discovery ofDidactylornisjii gen. et sp. nov. adds the new material for the study on the early evolution of birds.     

西藏冈底斯带侏罗纪岩浆作用的时空分布 及构造环境

在新近完成的1：25万区域地质调查资料和相关研究成果的基础上,初步研究了西藏冈底斯带侏罗纪岩浆作用的分布特点及其年代学,并利用已有的地球化学数据重点分析了早期关注程度较低的侏罗纪花岗岩类岩浆作用的性质。目前在冈底斯弧背断隆带未发现侏罗纪火山岩;在冈底斯东部地区,早侏罗世岩浆活动几乎同时发生于南冈底斯（叶巴组火山岩和鸟郁、尼木花岗岩类）、冈底斯弧背断隆带（宁中、金达、布久花岗岩类）和北冈底斯（聂荣花岗岩类）,中晚侏罗世接奴群和拉贡塘组火山岩断续分布于北冈底斯,晚侏罗世岩浆活动零星分布于沙莫勒一麦拉一洛巴堆～米拉山断裂以北。将冈底斯侏罗纪岩浆活动置于时空框架内分析发现,南冈底斯和北冈底斯在侏罗纪时主要受俯冲作用的影响．而冈底斯弧背断隆带和中冈底斯自早侏罗世以来除了受到俯冲作用的影响外,还受到自东向西逐步扩展的碰撞作用的影响。结合古地磁重建资料和其他新发现．认为冈底斯带侏罗纪这种岩浆活动的特点可用班公湖一怒江洋壳向南、新特提斯洋壳向北的双向剪刀式（剪刀口向西张开）俯冲模式来解释。

Magnetite-Fluorite Rock: A New Rock Type of Hot Water Sedimentation

The new type hot water sedimentary rock - magnetite-fluorite rock occurs as quasi-layers inflat parts of contact zones between rock body and strata in Bamiaushan of Changshan County,Zhejiang Province, China. The main mineral assemblage is fluorite magnetite cassiterite. The rockshows typical laminated structure and obvious mosaic texture. Its formation temperature is between123℃-160℃, averaging at 142℃. The major chemical composition of the rock includes CaF2, SiO2,Al2O3, FeO, and Fe2O3; the high-content microelement association includes W, Sn, Be, Rb, Sr, S, andCl; and the total content of REE is low (∑REE between 35.34x10-6-38.35x10-6), showing LREEenrichment type of distribution pattern. Diagenesis: driven by the tectonic stress, the formation waterheated in the deep strata had moved along the fissures or fractures in strata and had extractedcomponents from the strata on the way, and finally stagnated in the flat parts of contact zones betweenrock body and strata. With drop in temperature, magnetite and fluorite were separated from the hotwater and precipitated alternately, forming this hot water sedimentary rock with new typemineralogical composition, typical laminated structure, obvious mosaic texture and sub-horizontaloccurrence. The characteristics of the new type mineralogical composition, sedimentary tectonicenvironment and chemical composition are different from that of the well-known traditionalhydrothermai sedimentary rocks.
