The Geologic Time Scale and the Italian stratigraphic record

The construction of the Geologic Time Scale (GTS) is a titanic scientific challenge that has been under way for two centuries and will require much dedicated effort in the future. Italy preserves a paramount stratigraphic record of Mesozoic and Cenozoic marine sediments that have been significant in the development of the modern GTS. The Italian stratigraphic record has been histori-cally important in introducing and defining the standard Chronostratigraphic Units (CUs) of the Neogene and Quaternary. Pelagic successions from Northern Apen-nines and Southern Alps have been used in the seventies for integrating the late Cretaceous-Paleogene Geomag-netic Polarity Time Scale (GPTS) with planktonic microfossil biostratieraohv and standard CUs. This was a major contribution to the construction of a new gener-ation of GTS based on integrated magnetobiochronol-ogy. The middle Miocene to early Pleistocene marinerecord from Sicily and southern Italy has been funda-mental for establishing the recently developed Astro-nomical Time Scale (ATS). In prospect, there are many potentials still to be exploited in the Italian marine stratigraphic record for implementing the GTS by defin-ing GSSPs of various CUs, improving magneto-biochronology and extending downwards the ATS.

地层倾角测井矢量图模式识别与构造解释系统

本文介绍了地层倾角测井矢量图模式识别与地质构造解释系统的设计原理和基本方法。文中利用Ｆｉｓｈｅｒ方法划分构造段，利用极差分层和归并，通过模糊数学的方法进行模式识别，通过井钻的模式识别结果给出井位所在地的地质构造解释。本系统已在ＩＢＭＰＣ／ＸＴ及其兼容机上实现，对胜利油田和中原油田的２３个实际测井数据进行了实验，判别和解释正确率达到９０％。     

西藏腊久——八宿地区中侏罗世——早白垩世沉积盆地特征

西藏腊久－八宿地区，中侏罗世－早白垩世盆地，沉积了一套以重力流沉积发育为特色的陆源碎屑岩组合。通过详细的沉积学及层序地层学研究，识别出四个层序及相庆的十二个体系域，建立了层序地层格架，在此基础上，经对盆地内沉积相及建造特征、陆源碎屑岩的成分判别及火山岩特征等分析，确定该盆地性质为大陆裂谷断陷盆地，经历了发生，发育，消亡的演化过程。
