贵州晚三叠世关岭生物群大型鱼龙化石一新属种

根据采自贵州关岭上三叠统小凹组下段两个分别具有完整骨架和呈立体保存的头骨标本，命名和描述为一种大型的长体型的鱼龙Panjiangsaurus epicharis gen.et sp.nov.。这类鱼龙以下颌后部缺齿，荐前椎数约69节，前肢边缘的凹口出现在桡骨、接桡骨和远端腕骨上为特征。Panjiangsaurus外鼻孔的骨片组成与中、晚三叠世Shastasaurus和Cymbaspondylus的外鼻孔相似，肩带和腰带也具有晚三叠世卡尼期Shonisaurus的肩带和腰带的特点，但其挠骨、接桡骨和远端腕骨均发育有凹槽的前肢，可以与晚三叠世诺利期Macgonwani以及早株罗世Stenopterygius的前肢相比较，而具有株罗纪鱼龙的特征。     

辽西热河生物群演化的主要地质背景

本文结合近年来辽宁省化石资源调查成果,对辽西热河生物群的分布和组成进行了总结,进一步明确了以辽西各主要盆地化石群为代表的相对连续的化石群序列; 运用宏观进化理论和地理隔离等观点分析了辽西热河生物群脊椎动物的演化,并对其主要地质背景进行了总结。对辽西热河生物群脊椎动物的演化,可识别出辐射、趋同和复式进化等类型; 在义县组阶段存在着由于地理隔离而发生的成种事件,九佛堂组阶段翼龙和鸟类的辐射可能与由于食性分化而导致的生态隔离有关; 热河生物群的演替很可能是打破地理隔离后部分物种的绝灭、一些本地起源物种的向外迁移和外来物种的侵入、部分类群的辐射和复式进化共同作用的结果,与其所处的主要地质背景在时空上协同一致。综合分析认为,义县组火山岩已经“穿时”,在其晚期火山活动初始,已进入九佛堂组阶段。     

贵州省关岭县永窝、大寨滑坡-碎屑流形成机制浅析

本文对永窝、大寨滑坡-碎屑流形成机制进行了初步分析,认为斜坡坡体结构面发育,主要存在3组陡倾构造节理以及一组原生节理,将岩体切割成楔形体,其中一组构造节理形成的古断裂面,为滑坡形成的主控因素;连续的干旱,然后持续的强降雨,诱发滑坡的发生。     

强降雨在山地灾害链成灾演化中的关键控制作用

经历了2009年的干旱后,2010年雨季,中国西部山区山地灾害频繁暴发并演化成灾害链,强降雨起到了关键控制作用。降雨使山地灾害链极大扩展了空间影响范围,加速了演化进程。选取灾害链演化中的滑坡、泥石流两个关键环节,构建力学模型,对降雨的控制激发作用进行分析,分别以贵州关岭滑坡-碎屑流灾害链、甘肃舟曲泥石流-堰塞湖灾害链为典型实例进行验证,最终得出结论:强降雨激发滑坡、泥石流形成的控制作用是通过特殊的水作用机制体现的,久旱强雨是灾害链预警防控的关键时段。     

贵州金沙长岩沟寒武系牛蹄塘组生物群组成特征

贵州金沙长岩沟牛蹄塘组生物群化石丰富,共计25属,以海绵动物为主,另有节肢动物及藻类两大门类化石代表.海绵动物以普通海绵为主,计8属,占整个海绵动物属的57％;六射海绵5属,占海绵的36％,另有纲、目及科未定1属.节肢动物8属中高肌虫占优势,计有5属;大型双壳节肢动物2属,三叶虫仅1属.藻类共计3属.与遵义牛蹄塘生物群相比,两地均以普通海绵为主,金沙长岩沟牛蹄塘生物群海绵更为丰富,与遵义黑沙坡的海绵组成有差异.金沙长岩沟节肢动物中三叶虫少,仅1属,但高肌虫丰富,达5属,而遵义黑沙坡只有2属高肌虫,三叶虫则达4属.遵义和金沙牛蹄塘组生物群分别有藻类属4个和3个,共有属2个.两地同一生物群组成的差异,说明同处扬子浅水区的金沙长岩沟及遵义黑沙坡沉积环境可能有所差异,因而组成面貌也有差异.两地牛蹄塘生物群均具有显著的澄江生物群色彩.     

辽西义县组基性、中基性火山岩内沉凝灰岩层的发现及其意义

义县组岩性以基性、中基性火山岩、火山碎屑岩为主，局部发育有富含“热河生物群”化石的沉积层。在这些沉积层之下、义县组复成分底砾岩之上，发现有 4个沉凝灰岩层，与基性、中基性火山岩呈互层状产出，其岩性以沉凝灰岩或含砾凝灰质粉砂岩为主。这些凝灰岩层厚度虽小，但分布较广泛，走向延伸稳定。根据辽西地区中生代火山岩活动的基本规律，沉凝灰岩层与基性、中基性火山岩的空间展布特征及野外地质综合研究将义县组早期火山活动划分出 5个火山作用旋回，并确认四合屯、黄半吉沟、尖山沟、以及上园、大康堡、河夹心等地富含“热河生物群”化石的沉积层均属于同一火山旋回（第五旋回）的产物。这一发现极大地丰富了辽西地区中生代陆相盆地火山—沉积作用的研究内容，并将促进火山活动与生物灭绝事件方面的研究工作。     

Trace organic contamination in biota collected from the Pearl River Estuary, China: a preliminary risk assessment

The marine ecosystem of the Pearl River Delta, located on the southern coast of China, has been heavily exploited following the rapid economic growth that has occurred since the 1980s. This investigation aimed to elucidate trace organic contamination in marine biota inhabiting the Pearl River Delta area. Biota samples, including green-lipped mussels (Perna viridis), oysters (Crassostrea rivularis) and shrimp (Penaeus orientalis) were sampled from 16 stations fringing the Estuary. Elevated concentrations (on a dry weight basis) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (27.8–1041.0 ng/g), petroleum hydrocarbons (1.7–2345.4 μg/g), polychlorinated biphenyls (2.1–108.8 ng/g), DDTs (1.9–79.0 ng/g), and hexachlorocyclohexanes (n.d.–38.4 ng/g) were recorded. A human health risk assessment was conducted to estimate the risk to local residents associated with the consumption of biota collected from the Pearl River Estuary. The results indicated that PCBs were at levels that may cause deleterious health effects in populations that consume large amounts of seafood. However, it would be instructive to establish health criteria for trace organic contaminants that are specific to the local populations, in order to derive a more accurate and relevant health risk assessment.     

Kaili Biota: A Taphonomic Window on Diversification of Metazoans from the Basal Middle Cambrian: Guizhou, China

1 Introduction The Burgess Shale Biota was discovered in the Cambrian strata of western Canada by American paleontologist C. D. Walcott in 1909 (Walcott, 1911). The fauna contains more than 140 metazoan genera (Robison, 1991, Briggs et al., 1994), with a preservational range from hard skeletal parts, non-mineralized remains and internal soft-tissue and soft-body remains. Following that discovery up to 40 similar taphonomic locations have been found globally in Lower and Middle Cambrian …
