山东东部早白垩世青山期穿地壳岩浆系统与热隆滑脱成盆

穿地壳岩浆系统模型是近年新提出的一个全新的岩浆系统概念.聚焦山东东部早白垩世青山期穿地壳岩浆系统,在野外地质踏勘的基础上,结合火成岩年代学、断裂体系分布、大地构造学与地球化学的相关研究成果,系统探讨了不同性质火山岩浆的时空演化与分布特征.首先,在时间序列上,早白垩世青山期穿地壳岩浆系统,表现为酸性岩浆侵位-基性岩浆侵入-中性岩浆喷发的特征;其次,在不同的地壳深度,穿地壳岩浆系统有不同的表现,由深到浅,呈现岩基/岩株-岩脉岩墙-火山机构的变化;空间分布上,酸性岩体多位于古隆起区,火山机构沿深大断裂呈现串珠状分布.穿地壳岩浆系统的发育特征指示了青山期岩石圈的构造特征:岩体自身近E-W向展布,说明岩体侵入时的中上地壳的断裂体系主要为近E-W向,而岩体整体上沿着NE-SW向分布,说明了更深部断裂体系主要为NE-SW向,控制了整个区域构造的发育.早白垩世早期（莱阳期）区域发育的浅层构造断裂系统为早白垩世晚期（青山期）的穿地壳岩浆系统的发育提供了通道.早白垩世青山期穿地壳岩浆系统的发育伴随着区域热隆-伸展-滑脱作用,在此过程中山东东部青山期盆地格局形成.花岗岩抬升速率初步计算的结果表明山东东部地区早白垩世青山期的热隆速率略快于2.7~4.1 mm/a,强烈的"热隆-伸展-滑脱"作用是同期沉积盆地形成的主要动力学机制.      

砾石在分析盆地物源区迁移与湖岸线演化中的作用*

中国中西部盆地的盆山结合部位,勘探程度较低、钻井少、地震成像复杂,致使利用传统的地震相、测井相、岩心资料等研究原型盆地岩相古地理特征较为困难。基于露头中巨厚砾岩发育层段对应盆地内储集层平面展布范围最广这一认识,运用“将今论古”方法,建立南天山前现代冲积扇、扇三角洲平原、河流等沉积体系中砾石与搬运距离关系,以及不同沉积相类型中砾石发育产状与湖岸线远近关系,定量计算了准噶尔盆地多条重点剖面侏罗系—白垩系现今位置与沉积物源区和湖岸线演化的距离,恢复了侏罗纪—白垩纪物源区范围与湖岸线演化过程。认为侏罗纪—早白垩世砂砾岩储集体向盆地内延伸范围最大时期的湖岸线,明显与现今盆地边缘线有一向西北方向敞开的夹角,该认识对在编制岩相古地理图过程中以盆地边缘线即为湖岸线的观念提出了不同见解,为恢复准南等低勘探程度区原型盆地的岩相古地理特征、预测有利储集体的展布提供参数依据。建立的刻画物源区变化和湖岸线迁移的定量评价方法与参数,是对传统沉积学研究的有益补充。     

海南岛鹦歌岭白垩纪红盆中韧性剪切带的地质特征

鹦歌岭白垩纪红盆中的韧性剪切带由糜棱岩系列岩石组成,发育线理、面理和褶皱构造,具有拆离活动的运动学特征。变形差应力变化在27.2~66.2 MPa之间,变形温度高于500℃.近垂直的挤压和近水平的伸展显示剪切带的形成与深部岩浆上侵作用有关,对进一步认识海南岛燕山期构造岩浆作用以及岩浆侵位机制具有重要的地质意义。      

A Basal Titanosauriform from the Early Cretaceous of Guangxi, China

Based on a partial postcranial skeleton collected from the Lower Cretaceous Napai Formation of Guangxi, China, we erect a new sauropod taxon, Fusuisaurus zhaoi gen. et sp. nov. The holotype specimen consists of the left ilium, left pubis, anterior caudals, most of the dorsal ribs and distal end of the left femur. Fusuisaurus zhaoi is diagnosed by a unique combination of character states among the known sauropods. It displays several synapomorphies of Titanosauriformes but lacks many derived features seen in other titanosauriforms, suggesting that the new taxon represents the basalmost known titanosauriform and providing new evidence that Titanosauriformes originated from Asia. A size comparison suggests that Fusuisaurus zhaoi is among the largest Early Cretaceous sauropods, providing an important addition to the Early Cretaceous Chinese sauropod diversity.     

The First Mesozoic Heterodactyl Bird from China

1 Introduction Enantiornithines were the dominant birds nearly worldwide throughout the entire span of the Cretaceous (Chiappe, 1995; Feduccia, 1996). The adaptive radiation of opposite birds is little known besides the disparity of rostral morphology in Boluochia (Zhou, 1995), Longipteryx (Zhang et al., 2001), Longirostravis ( Hou et al., 2004), and the presence of stomach contents that reflect a diversity of diets. Like the structure of rostrum, differentiation of the locomotor apparatu…     

中国内蒙古下白垩统白彦华群胜利组的首个同位素年龄

由于丰富的煤炭资源,内蒙古的下白垩统地层具有重要的经济价值.但长期以来相关地层一直缺乏同位素测年研究,影响了区域地层对比工作的开展.本文对内蒙古锡林浩特下白垩统胜利组煤层夹层中的火山灰锆石应用LA-ICP-MS进行U-Pb法测年,结果显示胜利组5煤(层)和6煤(层)形成于大约109-107 Ma(早白垩世阿尔布期).这...     

白垩纪大洋缺氧事件研究进展

系统总结了白垩纪OAEs的研究进展,重点讨论了OAE1a、OAE1b和OAE2时期的有机碳(TOC)含量、碳同位素、古温度和锶同位素特征及其古环境指示意义,综合分析了白垩纪OAEs的成因机制。结果表明白垩纪OAEs的发生可能与该时期海底大规模的火山活动以及由其引起的气温升高、碳水化合物大量分解、水文循环加快和海洋生物生产力提高等一系列变化有关。对于白垩纪OAEs演化特征和成因机制的深入研究具有重要借鉴意义。通过对白垩纪OAEs的综合分析发现,当前的研究区域主要集中在大西洋/特提斯盆地及其周边陆地,而对南半球高纬度地区的研究报道迄今未见,从而无法对白垩纪OAEs进行全球性对比和系统性研究。今后我们将重点围绕南半球高纬度地区白垩纪OAEs的演化特征、成因机制及其古气候环境效应等进行深入研究。     

黄昏鸟:白垩纪的“企鹅”

企鹅是我们非常熟悉的鸟类,它们在进化中完全放弃了飞行的能力,成为强大的游泳者。在遥远的白垩纪时期,一种鸟类同样放弃了飞行转而进入水中,它们就是神奇的黄昏鸟。     

Chronology and Geochemistry of Volcanic Rocks in the Cretaceous Suifenhe Formation in Eastern Heilongjiang, China

Zircon U-Pb ages and geochemical data of volcanic rocks in the Suifenhe Formation in eastern Heilongjiang Province are reported, and their petrogenesis is discussed in this paper. The Suifenhe Formation mainly consists of basalt, andesite, and dacite. Zircon from andesite and dacite are euhedral in shape and show typical oscillatory zoning with high Th/U ratios (0.18-0.57), implying its magmatic origin. Zircon U-Pb dating results by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (LA-ICP-MS) indicate that the 206Pb/238U ages of zircons from andesite range within 105-106 Ma, yielding a weighted mean age of 105.5±0.8 Ma (n=14), and that 206Pb/238U ages of zircons from dacite are between 90-96 Ma, yielding a weighted mean age of 93.2±1.3 Ma (n =13). The volcanic rocks from the Suifenhe Formation are subalkaline series and show a calc-alkaline evolutionary trend with SiO2 content of 47.69%-65.47%, MgO contents of 1.42%-6.80% (Mg#= 45-53), and Na2O/K2O ratios of 1.83-3.63. They are characterized by enrichment in large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and light-rare-earth elements (LREE), depletion in heavy rare earth elements (HREE) and high field strength elements (HFSE) (e.g., Nb, Ta, Ti), and low initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7041-0.7057) and positiveεNd(t) values (039-4.08), implying that they could be derived from a depleted magma source. Taken together, these results suggest that the primary magma of the volcanic rocks might originate from partial melting of the mantle wedge metasomatized by fluids derived from subducted slab under a tectonic setting of active continental margin.
