火山熔岩烘烤沉积物的热释光年龄

火山熔岩溢流到下伏地层之上,使地层表层经受高温过程形成烘烤层。当该烘烤作用是本岩层的最后一次热事件时,方符合热释光技术测年龄的采样要求。本样品采自山西省大同县阁老山公社黑山南狼窝沟和阳高县下深井公社东水头村水库西岸两处,烘烤沉积物为第四纪黄土。测龄前首先对烘烤和非烘烤沉积物的物质成分、微结构和表面形态进行了分析鉴定     

广西晚元古代本洞岩体同位素年代学研究

本洞花岗闪长岩体是目前在我国南方发现的一期最老的花岗岩类侵入体。对该岩体进行系统的同位素年代学研究和形成年龄的确定,无论是对我国南岭地区花岗岩的研究还是对我国南方前寒武纪地层的划分与对比都具有十分重要的意义。     

复杂地层构造的地震模拟

复杂地层构造的地震模拟,是地震勘探理论的重要问题。本文提出了一个模拟系统:用有限元素表示复杂地层构造,在此基础上应用射线轨迹法计算二维合成记录,从而得到复杂地层构造的理论剖面。这个系统可以用来模拟构造和岩性,为解释人员提供理论依据。 作者研制了适用于任意复杂地层构造计算的通用程序,并用以计算了某测线的一批模型,所得合成剖面由电视加以显示,最后对结果作了简单的分析讨论。     

轨道调谐建立洛川黄土地层的时间标尺

对黄土高原中部洛川厚140m黄土剖面进行了黄土层间隔5cm、古土壤层间隔3cm的采样,在室内测量了全部样品的磁化率．以磁化率变化作为东亚夏季风气候变化的替代性指标,利用轨道调谐方法建立了黄土－古土壤序列的时间标尺．结果表明,B／M界线处的年龄是772KaB．P,午城黄土与离石黄土分界线的年龄为1348KaB．P,黄土堆积底界的年龄为2471KaB．P．．通过和古地磁场倒转点绝对年龄对比以及与太阳辐射量变化时间序列进行交叉谱分析,证明了新时间标尺的可信性．     

义马珍贵的古植物古生物化后群亟需保护

中生代义马盆地不仅以中原唯一的中生代产煤盆地而著名，而且早中侏罗世的义马组含煤地层和晚三叠世地层中，保存了大量完美的各类动植物化石。长期以来，随着煤田勘查和开发，许多著名的地质、古生物学家进行了大量地质调查及地质古生物科学研究工作，取得了多项有世界性影响的科研成果。其中银杏化石植物群的发现，在世界上引起轰动，这是全世界迄今发现最古老的银杏化石群，被国际地质、古生物学术界命名为“义马银杏”，     

The International Commission on the History of Geological Sciences （INHIGEO） Symposium on the historical relationship between geology and religion

The 32nd INHIGEO Symposium was held between 28 July and 5 August 2007 in Eichstatt, northeast Bavaria. This part of Bavaria is celebrated for many things, not least its diverse Jurassic fossils. Amongst the latter, the most famous is one of the great ＂missing links＂ in paleontology, the feathered Archaeopteryx with its reptilian teeth. Equally renowned is the lithographic limestone from Solnhofen that was used to produce the early illustrations of Archaeopteryx along with other countless maps and figures in publications well known to historians of geology. It was fitting that the symposium theme was ＂The Historical Relationship of Geology and Religion＂.     

渤海南部S3孔晚第四纪海相地层的划分及环境演变

根据微体化石、粒度、孢粉、粘土矿物和碳酸钙含量等多项分析资料，以及古地磁、14C和ESR等项测年资料，划分出7个海相地层，它们是中更新世中、晚期的H     

The Calabrian Stage redefined

The name Calabrian was introduced in the geological literature by the French stratigrapher Maurice Gignoux in 1910, and later described in his important monograph （633 pages） ＂Les formations marines pliocknes et quaternaires de l＇ltalie du sud et de la Sicile ＂published in 1913. Detailed data were provided on several sections （Santa Maria di Catanzaro, Caraffa, Monasterace, Palermo） and on their fossil content. The Calabrian Stage has commonly been used for over fifty years as the oldest subdivision of the Qua- ternary, notably in the time scales of Berggren ＆ van Cou- vering （1974） and Haq ＆ Eysinga （1987）. However, after the GSSP for the Pliocene/Pleistocene boundary （P/P） was approved by INQUA in 1982 and ratified by lUGS in 1984 at the Vrica section of Calabria, there was a decline in the usage of the stage name, and an increasing tendency by many Quaternary workers to question the boundary stratotype. This was because there was increasing evidence that it did not correspond to the beginning of the ＂ice age＂. In doing so, they were not complying with the recommendations presented at the 18th International Geological Congress （IGC） in London, 1948 （Oakley, 1950）.
