藏北日土县拉竹龙地区志留系

根据在西藏西北部日土县拉竹龙地区重新测量了西藏区调大队1984年所测的两个地层剖面——饮水河北岸剖面和兽形湖北岸剖面,在原来定为上奥陶统兽形湖组的底部发现了一套含笔石和几丁石化石的黑色页岩和炭质板岩,其中笔石Pristiograptus和几丁石Ancyrochitina brevicollis、Conochitina sp.为志留系兰多维列统Tely-chian阶的标准分子。同时在兽形湖组中也发现了大量兰多维列世的腕足类化石Hindella xizangensis和竹节石Gotlandellites sp.。证明了拉竹龙地区饮水河北岸和兽形湖北岸两个剖面均未出现真正的奥陶纪地层。通过所采集到的笔石、几丁石、腕足类、三叶虫、头足类、牙形刺、竹节石、珊瑚、遗迹化石的准确鉴定,重新修订了本地区志留系的划分和地层序列:自下而上依次为以笔石相为代表的兰多维列统饮水河组,以碎屑岩相为代表的兰多维列统兽形湖组,以碳酸盐沉积为主的文洛克统普尔错组和以碳酸盐岩相为主的罗德洛统至普里道利统野牛坡组。本区志留系目前发现的最低层位相当于兰多维列统Telychian阶的笔石带Spirograptusturriculatus带和Streptograptus crispus带,最高层位相当于欧洲和藏南壳相志留系的最高一个头足类化石带Kopaninoceras juncudum带或牙形刺组合Neoprioniodus latidentatus-Ligonodina siluria组合。

动物碎屑的光性变化及其研究意义

前泥盆纪地层中缺乏镜质体使得正确评价其有机质的热成熟度极为困难。但在下古生界中含有海生有机质笔石和几丁虫等 ,由于其光性特征随成熟度的变化而发生规律性变化而被用于表征有机质成熟度。在 4 50～ 70 0nm可见光谱范围 ,由于笔石和几丁虫的光学色散特性反射率随成熟度增加 ,表现出与镜质体及沥青相似的变化趋势。这表明 ,随成熟度增加 ,笔石和几丁虫的分子结构芳香度及芳碳定向性均发生相似的变化。在低成熟阶段 ,笔石和几丁虫的光学色散谱从蓝区到红区降低 ,表明芳环聚合程度低 ,芳碳含量少。在中等成熟阶段 ,笔石和几丁虫的光学色散谱从蓝区到红区呈平稳型式。在高成熟阶段 ,笔石的光学色散谱从蓝区到红区呈上升趋势 ,表明具有高芳香度 ,芳香分子定向性增强。在Ro ,max为 2 5%左右笔石发生结构转化 ,但直到Ro ,max达 12 %也未发生石墨化作用 ,表明笔石主要发生增碳作用。笔石和几丁虫的光性参数是下古生界地层的极为有效的成熟度指标     

Correlations among the reflectances of vitrinite, chitinozoans, graptolites and scolecodonts

Paleozoic marine sequences sampled in outcrops and wells of northeastern Gaspe Peninsula (Quebec Appalachians) yield kerogen composed in part of vitrinite and zooclasts (chitinozoans, scolecodonts and graptolites) on which reflectance measurements were made.The comparison between means of random measurements show that reflectance of chitinozoans is similar to that of telinite (vitrinite with a cellular texture) and that the reflectance of scolecodonts is significantly lower than that of telinite in the lower range of studied values. At higher reflectivities differences decrease but, at the end of the condensate gas zone reflectancea are not yet identical. As shown by previous studies, reflectance of graptolites is slightly less than that of telinite.Pyrobitumen reflectance is related to the lithology of the host-rock and no generalized correlation can be established between the reflectance of pyrobitumen and that of vitrinite.     

全球下奥陶统-中奥陶统界线层型候选剖面——宜昌黄花场剖面研究新进展

湖北宜昌黄花场剖面是我国奥陶系大湾阶的界线层型剖面，高精度生物地层以及岩石、层序地层和碳同位素地球化学的综合研究表明，该剖面完全符合关于建立全球下奥陶统一中奥陶统界线（即奥陶系第三个尚待正式命名的阶）界线层型剖面和点位（GSSP）的条件。建议以该剖面牙形石Baltoniodus？triangularis的首现层位，作为划分全球下奥陶统一中奥陶统界线的GSSP。所建议的GSSP交通方便，位于距宜昌市北北东22km的公路旁，地层出露完美无缺，界线生物层位于大湾组下段SHod-16层底部，距大湾组底部10．57m；界线上下发育了B．？triangularis的完整演化序列，并伴生有极好的Baltoniodus、Trapezognathus、Periodon和Microzarkodina等牙形石属种演化序列来作为佐证；界线之上0．2m所出现的世界广布的Microzarkodina abellum可作为划分此界线的辅助标志。界线生物层位于低位海侵序列之中，界线之下0．6m处所显示的从高位到低位的层序转换面和碳同位素最大偏移，与全球此时所发生低位事件密切相关，可作为识别该界线的物理和化学标志。所建议的界线生物层与笔石Azygograptus suecicus生物带上下组合之间的界线接近，与几丁虫Belonechitina cf．henryi生物带底界几乎一致，因此，所建议的界线易于在全球，无论浅水碳酸盐相、还是深水笔石相，识别和进行精确对比。同样的生物组合序列和层序及碳同位素异常亦在黄花场剖面之北5km的陈家河（即大坪）剖面得到了验证．     

Late Silurian (Ludlow–Přídolí) microfossils and sedimentation in the Welsh Basin near Clun,Shropshire

The base of the Clun Forest Formation at Clun, Shropshire, has previously been taken to correlate with the base of the Downton Castle Sandstone Formation (Přídolí Series, upper Silurian) on the basis of brachiopod, bivalve, gastropod and ostracod faunas. The detailed distribution of microfossils (acritarchs, chitinozoans, conodonts and ostracods) is documented at Nantyrhynau Quarry, Clun, Shropshire, to test this correlation. Three new species of chitinozoans, Eisenackitina clunensis, Eisenackitina kerria and Angochitina paucispinosa, are described from the quarry. Macrofossil and ostracod distributions suggest that the correlation is correct. However, a typical Ludlow acritarch flora is present throughout the section and suggests that the basal part of the Clun Forest Formation is Ludlow in age. The mixture of characteristic Ludlow and Přídolí microfossils at Nantyrhynau Quarry may be the result of differing environmental conditions between the Ludlow (shelf) and Clun (basinal) areas at this time. Alternatively, the strata exposed at Nantyrhynau Quarry may represent a period towards the end of the Ludlow Series when there are no strata represented in corresponding shelf sections due to non-deposition or erosion. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Graptolite, Chitinozoan and Scolecodont Reflectances and Their Use as Indicators of Thermal Maturity

Based on studies of the reflectance of Ordovician and Silurian zooclasts from 11 sections around the Huangling Anticline, Hubei, China, combined with determination of the conodont colour alteration indices (CAI) and of infrared spectroscopy of dispersed organic matter from the same or adjacent horizons, it is further proved that reflectances of graptolites, chitinozoans and scolecldonts, like vitrinite and natural bitumen, increase with increasing maturation, but follow different reflectance paths. They may be used, therefore, as thermal maturation indicators. Graptolites display optically strong anisotropy. The maximum reflectance measured from graptolite on polished section cut parallel to the bedding plane is the most suitable for determination of maturation of their host rocks. In polished section chitinozoan and scolecodont show reflectance, but no bireflectance owing to their isotropy. The random reflectance of chitinozoans is higher than that of scolecodonts in the case of the same maturity. By analysing the distribution trends of graptolite, chitionzoan and scolecodont reflectances, the Ordovician and Silurian strata can be subdivided into three areas of maturation in the present region. The potential of oil or gas generation is discussed for each area. The result is basically coincident with the distribution pattern of regional organic maturation presented by CAI and infrared spectroscopic determination of organic matter.     

笔石、几丁虫和虫牙反射率在热成熟度上的应用

根据中国湖北黄陵背斜周缘11条奥陶纪、志留纪地层剖面的笔石,几丁虫和虫牙反射率的研究,结合相同或邻近层位牙形石色变指数(CAI)和分散有机质成熟度的红外光谱鉴定,进一步证明:笔石、几丁虫和虫牙的反射率具有随成熟度增加而增加的特点以及各自不同的反射率径迹,因此,在不含镜质组的前泥盆纪地层中,它们可以作为热成熟度的指示。笔石具有明显的各向异性的光学特点,在平行层面所切笔石光面上测量笔石最大油浸反射率,对确定含化石母岩的成熟度最为合适。几丁虫和虫牙具有各向同性的光性特点,因而它们的光面仅显示反射率而无双反射率。笔石、几丁虫和虫牙反射率分布趋势的分析表明,可以将本区奥陶系与志留系划分为3个成熟度区。并对各区形成油气的潜在可能性进行了讨论,其结果与牙形石色变指数和有机质红外光谱分析,所证明的区域有机质成熟度分布模式基本一致。
