Important ecological changes of the Earth(oxidization of the atmosphere and the ocean) increase in nutrient supply due to the break-up of the super continent(Rodinia) and the appearance of multi-cellular organisms(macroscopic algae and metazoan) took place in the Ediacaran period,priming the Cambrian explosion.The strong perturbations in carbon cycles in the ocean are recorded as excursions in carbonate and organic carbon isotope ratio(δ~(13)C_(carb) and δ~(13)C_(org)) from the Ediacaran through early Cambrian periods.The Ediacaran-early Cambrian sediment records of δ~(13)C_(carb) and δ~(13)C_(org),obtained from the drill-core samples in Three Gorges in South China,are compared with the results of numerical simulation of a simple one-zone model of the carbon cycle of the ocean,which has two reservoirs(i.e.,dissolved organic carbon(DOC) and dissolved inorganic carbon(DIC).The fluxes from the reservoirs are assumed to be proportional to the mass of the carbon reservoirs.We constructed a model,referred to here as the Best Fit Model(BFM),which reproduce δ~(13)C_(carb) and δ~(13)C_(org) records in the Ediacaran-early Cambrian period noted above.BFM reveals that the Shuram excursion is related to three major changes in the carbon cycle or the global ecological system of the Earth:(1) an increase in the coefficient of remineralization by a factor of ca.100,possibly corresponding to a change in the dominant metabolism from anaerobic respiration to aerobic respiration,(2) an increase of carbon fractionation index from 25‰ to 33‰,possibly corresponding to the change in the primary producer from rock-living cyanobacteria to free-living macro algae,and(3) an increase in the coefficient of the organic carbon burial by a factor of ca.100,possibly corresponding to the onset of a biological pump driven by the flourishing metazoan and zooplankton.The former two changes took place at the start of the Shuram excursion,while the third occurred at the end of the Shuram excursion.The other two excursions are explained by the tentative decrease in primary production due to cold periods,which correspond to the Gaskiers(ca.580 Ma) and Bikonor(ca.542 Ma) glaciations.     

四川盆地及其周缘地区寒武系洗象池群颗粒滩特征及分布

通过对野外露头剖面、钻井以及1︰200000区域地质调查等资料的综合研究,识别出四川盆地及其周缘地区寒武系洗象池群颗粒滩的岩石类型包括颗粒云岩、颗粒灰岩、细—中晶白云岩,颗粒类型主要为砂屑,次为鲕粒、砾屑以及少量生屑。发育潟湖—台内滩—潟湖、潟湖—台内滩—台坪、潮坪—潮缘滩—潮坪这3种向上变粗的沉积序列。单个旋回中的颗粒滩的厚度一般小于2.5m,垂向上多表现为频繁叠置的小规模薄型滩体,且横向规模小、可对比性差。平面上,颗粒滩主要分布在古隆起区和水下相对高地,整体为东北向分布。海平面升降和沉积能量的高低控制着颗粒滩发育规模,而构造条件决定了颗粒滩的横向连续性和平面分布。     

SHRIMP zircon age for an Early Cambrian dolerite dyke: An intrusive phase of the Antrim Plateau Volcanics of northern Australia

The Antrim Plateau Volcanics, Australia's largest Phanerozoic flood‐basalt province, originally covered an area of at least 300 000 km² across northern Australia. Stratigraphic constraints indicate that the Antrim Plateau Volcanics are of Early Cambrian age (ca 545–509 Ma), although previous attempts to date the Antrim basalts by radiometric methods have been inconclusive. We present an ion microprobe U–Pb zircon age of 513 ± 12 Ma for the ～250 km‐long Milliwindi dolerite dyke in the west Kimberley. The dolerite is geochemically identical to basalts of the Antrim Plateau Volcanics, and was probably a feeder dyke for basalts that have since been eroded. It is suggested that the Antrim Plateau Volcanics extended hundreds of kilometres further to the west than recognised previously and may have once covered part of the Kimberley block.     

鲁西寒武系第三统张夏组附枝菌与附枝菌微生物灰岩特征研究

本文通过大比例尺野外测量及镜下观察,对鲁西寒武系第三统张夏组的附枝菌与附枝菌微生物灰岩特征进行了详细研究。附枝菌是一种树枝状蓝细菌,一般向上生长扩展,形成灌木状附枝菌群落,生长于附枝菌微生物丘内部。而在微生物丘的外部边缘,附枝菌群落呈半闭合的房室状,与肾状菌十分相似。房室状附枝菌群落可能是在微生物丘外部边缘受局部高能微环境（如水流、波浪等）的影响形成的。在其形成后,其保存状态则是由附枝菌的钙化作用及早期成岩作用决定。由于附枝菌构成其微生物岩的生长骨架,且该微生物岩不具备清晰的中型构造,故可称其为附枝菌格架岩,作为对微生物岩分类命名的又一补充。附枝菌格架岩一般生长于台地边缘或台地外部斜坡环境,其生长过程受水动力条件、阳光照射及海水清澈度等影响。     

试论华北板块寒武纪地层的穿时性

华北板块寒武系馒头组和毛庄组,徐庄组和张夏组,崮山组、长山组和凤山组分别以紫红色泥质白云岩及页岩、鲕粒灰岩和竹叶状灰岩为特征,依次形成于湖—塞卜哈、鲕滩和滩外斜坡环境。若按传统的时代划分,必然得出互相矛盾的古地理解释。按Walther相律,应有大量的紫红色泥质白云岩和页岩,鲕粒灰岩与竹叶状灰岩是同时形成的。无论泥质白云岩和页岩,鲕粒灰岩还是竹叶状灰岩都是随着海侵、相迁移而一个地区,一个地区依次形成,并且它们都是穿时的。     

鄂西宜昌地区寒武系常规、非常规天然气显示及勘探意义

鄂西寒武系具有良好的油气成藏条件,但由于地层时代早、经历构造运动次数多,勘探成果不理想。近期在宜昌地区寒武系水井沱组获得页岩气流,并在寒武系天河板组、石龙洞组等多套层系获得了天然气显示,表明鄂西宜昌地区是寒武系页岩气、天然气的有利勘探区。以储集层为核心划分出水井沱组页岩气、天河板组-石龙洞组常规天然气成藏组合。寒武系水井沱组页岩生烃潜力大、含气性高,以页岩中的有机质孔和微裂缝作为储集空间,构成自生自储的页岩气藏;水井沱组页岩气测试获工业气流,气体组分中甲烷含量超过90%。宜地2井天河板组发生井喷,气体成分以甲烷为主,储集空间主要为半充填状裂缝和溶孔,地层水为氯化镁型,保存条件中等。石龙洞组砂屑云岩储层具有累计厚度大、低孔中低渗并局部发育高孔渗段的特点。以水井沱组富有机质页岩为烃源岩,以天河板组灰岩裂缝和石龙洞组白云岩孔洞为储集空间,以覃家庙组含膏云岩和云质膏岩为盖层,组成垂向供烃的生储盖组合。油气成藏演化史分析表明,寒武系烃源岩在早志留世开始生油,早二叠世开始生气,晚三叠世达到生气高峰期,经历了多期次构造运动的改造,现全部转化为气态烃。宜昌地区为页岩气有利区,也是天河板组-石龙洞组常规天然气勘探的有利区。上述认识对鄂西地区寒武系天然气勘探领域的拓展具有重要指导意义。

竖井内爆炸动力响应分析

系统地分析了内爆炸条件下冲击波在竖井内的传播和反射规律,并基于经典弹性理论,建立了动力平衡方程,推导出了竖井井壁动力响应的计算表达式,得到了竖井侧墙最大径向位移和最大内力分布。计算表明：竖井侧墙最大径向位移出现在竖井中间的某处位置,具体与点源爆炸物高度有关,随着爆炸高度的增加,最大径向位移出现的位置也在向井口方向移动,但是幅值大小有所减小。     

川北早寒武世碳酸盐岩台缘斜坡沉积特征及变形构造形成机制探讨

基于对川北米仓山西部旺苍县鼓城乡唐家河下寒武统仙女洞组露头剖面的观察与镜下分析发现,仙女洞组下段由生物碎屑泥晶灰岩(L)、粉砂质泥岩(M)、似瘤状砾屑灰岩(L')、角砾灰岩(R)、藻凝块灰岩(A)和含生屑钙质砂岩(S)组合而成,其以角砾灰岩、似瘤状砾屑灰岩和藻凝块灰岩为特征,且发育异地岩块和滑塌变形构造。进一步分析认为:L-M岩石组合为正常的斜坡环境低能沉积;L'-R岩石组合中的角砾灰岩为上斜坡生物灰泥丘崩坍滑动至下部而形成的,似瘤状砾屑灰岩可能是由于L-M岩石组合快速沉积导致沉积物失稳滑动变形、上斜坡生物灰泥丘崩落角砾致使的差异压实和滑动、以及后期物质成分差异引起的压溶作用等共同作用的结果,从而使灰质层发生破碎并被泥质包围形成断续的砾屑状,甚至轻微的位移,进而形成条带特征不明显的杂乱变形构造;微生物岩(Mb)组合为上斜坡的灰泥丘沉积;S-M岩石组合为斜坡上部的浊流沉积。根据上述分析结果建立米仓山西部仙女洞组碳酸盐岩台缘斜坡沉积模式,表明仙女洞组沉积早期米仓山西部存在台缘斜坡相沉积。
