华南晚古生代礁硅岩套的组成和分类及地质涵义

礁硅岩套是一种重要的含矿岩石组合,它是由生物礁相碳酸盐岩、热水沉积岩（矿）、细碎屑岩和泥灰岩、同怪位或相邻地区地层中的火山质岩或潜火山岩,以较为固定的时空有序的状态组合而成。根据生物礁的形成环境和热水沉积作用的产出方式,礁硅岩套可分为盆地型、台地型和过渡型三类。它是在特征地质背景下,在盆地演化的一定阶段内,由盆地正常沉积作物、盆地中的生物作用、盆下源的热水沉积作用和岩石圈深部岩浆作用综合形成的产物     

Some fine-grained sedimentation phenomena in caves

Fine-grained sedimentation in caves often occurs by the parallel accretion of laminations upon the underlying bedforms. These laminations show remarkable persistence in unit thickness and grain size in a down-passage direction. A translatory flow mechanism ofdeposition is postulated which results in the rhythmic pulsing of sediment-laden water into subterranean lakes in response to variations in surface climate. The sediments are pulsed into standing water via multiple inputs, often resulting in coarser sediment being deposited on steeper slopes than on more gentle slopes. The final extension of this sediment input is the complete filling of the cave passage to the roof. The problem of sediment stability on steep slopes remains an unanswered anomaly.     

Holocene coastal environmental changes on the periphery of an area of glacio‐isostatic uplift: an example from Scapa Bay,Orkney, UK

The first detailed investigation of a deep, coastal, sedimentary basin in Orkney reveals a complex Holocene history of back‐barrier morphodynamics. At Scapa Bay, the sea flooded a freshwater marsh after ca. 9400 yr BP at ca. ?5.4 m OD. Before ca. 7800 BP, abundant sediment from nearby cliffs was mobilised inland into a series of gravel barriers across the valley mouth. By ca. 7500 BP, direct marine influence was restricted in the back‐barrier area, although saltmarsh persisted until ca. 5900 BP. By then, at least four gravel ridges had enclosed the backing lagoon, where freshwater inputs became dominant. As terrestrial sediments filled the basin, another freshwater marsh developed. The multiple barrier complex demonstrates progradation resulting from continuous sediment supply in a sheltered embayment. The progressively rising height of the barrier crests seawards probably resulted from a combination of factors such as barrier morphodynamics, increased storminess and long‐term rising relative sea levels. The dominant vegetation surrounding Scapa Bay changed from open grassland to scrub ca. 9400 BP, then to deciduous woodland ca. 7800 BP, and to dwarf‐shrub heath ca. 2600 BP, the latter probably a response to a combination of climate change and human activity.

Impact of Human Activities on Depositional Process of Tidal Flat in Quanzhou Bay of China

As a very important component of a coastal system,tidal flats come to be a focus of the studies on land-ocean interaction in the coastal zone because those areas are subjected to intense human activities and are highly sensitive to the global change.The Quanzhou Bay,located along the middle part of Fujian coast of China,covers about 136.4km2,and the area of coastal wetland in the entire bay from intertidal to subtidal with 6m of water depth accounts for 96% of the total area.Seven short cores were collected and divided in situ with the interval of 5cm on the coastal wetlands of Quanzhou Bay on April 19,2006.The sediment samples were scattered and the grain sizes were measured by using Mastersizer 2000.Human beings' activities on tidal flat have disturbed the vertical distribution of sediments in stratigraphic sequence and accelerated the sedimentation rates.Grain size analysis results show that the grain size diameters increase and sediment becomes worse sorted towards the sea under the strong human disturbance;Spartina alterniflora can play a role of trapping the fine sediment;but near the bank,the sediment becomes coarse and there are two peak values on frequency curve influenced by the sandpile.The trough formed by human activities along the coastline changes the transport path of water and suspended sediment.The sediments are transported through the trough and deposit in it during the flood;the ebb flow is retarded by the flow output through the adjacent trough,and the deposited sediment can not be re-suspended;then,the sedimentation rate increases.In situ observation show that the sedimentation rate is about 8-10cm/yr.     

南渡江河口洪、枯季节水文泥沙变化特征及台风“海鸥”对入海水沙的影响

基于2014年最新的洪、枯季节实测资料,分析了南渡江河口海域水文泥沙的季节性变化特征,借助台风"海鸥"过境期间的河道监测数据,研究了台风天气造成的洪水事件对河流入海水沙通量的影响。研究结果表明:(1)洪、枯季节河口海域的水体层化作用不强,洪季的水温高于枯季,但盐度低于枯季。水温呈现向海递减的趋势,而盐度整体分布较为均匀;(2)河口水体含沙量近岸大于远岸,枯季河口三角洲泥沙向西输运。洪季含沙量明显高于枯季,大量泥沙在台风季节被冲刷入海,而后向海或向西输运扩散;(3)河口海域为不规则全日潮,呈现东西向往复流特征。温度、盐度和浊度均呈现较强的潮汐性变化特征;(4)枯季河道内存在明显的盐水楔,锋面处的垂向梯度很大,在口门向陆大约12—15 km以远的河道水体不再受潮汐影响;(5)台风"海鸥"影响下,南渡江洪峰期间的径流量和含沙量均远远超过多年平均值,反映了南渡江河口地区"台风季节"的特点。     

Intertidal sand‐dwelling Peracarid fauna of North Island,New Zealand

Abstract

Substrate and infauna samples were taken at four tidal levels (mean high water springs, high mid beach, low mid beach, and mean low water neaps) with a 0.0625 m² quadrat at 14 North Island beaches in New Zealand. The distributions of Peracarida (Crustacea) were correlated with sediment type, tidal height, and degree of exposure; sampling began in March 1972 and was completed in November 1973.

Substrate samples were sieved and median diameter of the particles ranged from very coarse sand of — 0.60? to very fine sand of + 3.259?. Substrates were variously sorted: ? quartile deviation ranged from 0.14? to 0.66?, skewness from ‐ 0.08? to + 0.07?.

Peracarid fauna was moderately abundant; the maximum value was 720 animals per square metre on a fully exposed beach. Highest average abundance (303 per square metre) for the 14 beaches was recorded from the mean low water neap station. Amphipoda was the dominant group (54% of all Peracarida recorded), followed by Isopoda (33%) and Cumacea (13%). Frequency of occurrence at the 56 stations was headed by Amphipoda (64%), followed by Isopoda (46%), and Cumacea (20%).

The results are compared with data from Stewart Island beaches, and the biogeographical distributions of recorded Peracarida are discussed. An unexpectedly high degree of endemism exists for a warm‐temperate region, caused by the isolation of New Zealand, which has no direct shallow water contact with tropical or cold temperate regions.

南秦岭千家坪钒矿床地质地球化学特征与钒的富集规律

千家坪钒矿床产于南秦岭下寒武统水沟口组(缀1sh)黑色岩系中,该黑色岩系由黑色含炭硅质岩、含炭硅质岩夹泥岩和泥岩等组成。钒矿体呈层状产出,矿石以黑色硅质岩夹泥岩型为主,含钒矿物主要为钒云母。黑色岩系岩石主要成分为SiO2、Al2O3、K2O等,富集TFe、Ba、Zn、P、Cu、Ni、Cr、Sr、Zr、Ag、Ti、Mn、V等多种元素。黑色岩系n(V)/n(Cr)=5.92～30.64、n(V)/n(V+Ni)=0.88～0.99、δU1,判断其为缺氧沉积环境。黑色硅质岩n(SiO2)/n(Al2O3)=238.81,U/Th1以及δ30Si=-0.1‰～0.5‰、δ18O=20.2‰～25.8‰,判断其为半深海滞留沉积盆地热水沉积成因。泥岩n(SiO2)/n(Al2O3)=5.69,n(Al)/n(Al+Fe+Mn)=0.63,n(Si)/n(Si+Al+Fe)=0.74～0.76判断其物源为陆源,但受到热水作用影响。钒矿化受下寒武世古隆起边缘断陷滞留盆地中形成的黑色岩系层位所控制。钒明显趋向在炭硅质岩所夹的泥岩或硅质岩附近的泥岩中富集,在炭硅质岩夹泥岩段向泥岩段过渡层位,常常含结核,钒元素含量达到峰值,其他Cu、Pb、Zn、As、W、Mo等元素富集规律与V元素基本一致。该矿床成矿物质主要来源于深部热水,泥岩的吸附作用对钒的富集具有重要作用。综合地质、地球化学特征,认为该矿床为热水喷流沉积成因。
