Location,location, location: changes in the diversity of animal resources exploited by Tardiglacial humans in northern Spain

Prey diversity of Homo sapiens in north Iberia exhibited shifts associated with climate warming after the Last Glacial Maximum, as deduced from animal remains obtained from Upper Palaeolithic caves in Asturias (northern Spain). Significant association of prey diversity and river proximity was found during adverse climate conditions, indicating opportunistic predation. A high increase of prey diversity was found when small animals (including fish) were taken into account in archaeological records, highlighting the importance of this type of prey in Palaeolithic diets.

Reconstruction of protoliths of metamorphic rocks and tectonic setting of Wolegen Group

Parametamorphic rocks from Arong County in southeastern Inner Mongolia-Daxinganling district are regarded as Proterozoic in age,belonging to the Wolegen Group and composed of volcanoclastic and sandstone in origin,and have been disputed in tectonic setting.Because of the stability in metamorphism,the rare earth dements indicate the features of their protoliths.The authors integrated the petrologic methods with the geochemical parameters which include ∑REE,∑LREE/∑HREE,δCe,δEu,La/Yb,Sm/Nd,Th/Sc and the standard values of chondrite.The results show that the protoliths of Wolengen Group may be a group of voleanoclastic and continental margin elastic rocks,and their tectonic setting is the continent island arc.     

A Late‐glacial chironomid record from Hawes Water,northwest England

This paper presents the results of a high‐resolution Late‐glacial chironomid stratigraphy from Hawes Water, a small carbonate lake in northern Lancashire. The samples were from a core taken from the terrestrialised margin of the present lake, which represents an intermediate depth between the true littoral and the profundal. The chironomid assemblage showed a high degree of sensitivity to both broad‐scale and short‐term temperature changes. Comparison with an existing proxy temperature record (δ¹⁸O) for the site confirmed the presence of four temperature inversions within the Late‐glacial Interstadial. A mean July air temperature inference model, derived from acid, soft‐water lakes in Norway and Svalbard, was applied to the data. Despite the absence of carbonate lakes within the Norwegian training set, there was a close similarity between trends in estimated July air temperature and the δ¹⁸O trace, with a particularly strong correspondence in the periods of clay deposition. This suggests that this model is highly robust. The inferred maximum Interstadial temperature was 13.4°C, dropping initially to 7.5°C in the Loch Lomond Stadial. Temperatures reach a maximum of nearly 10°C in this period, cool for a short period before rising rapidly to 13.2°C at the start of the Holocene. These temperatures are similar to but slightly higher than those estimated for Whitrig Bog, southeast Scotland, and lower than those inferred from coleopteran‐based models for sites in South Wales.

Zircon U-Pb dating of intermediate-acid intrusive rocks in the middle section of Ningzhen district and their metallogenic implicationsEI北大核心CSCD

The Ningzhen metallogenic district is an important part of the Middle-Lower Yangtze River Valley metallogenic belt. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating of the three intermediate-acid intrusions, i.e., Anjishan, Xinqiao, and Shima, in the central part of the Ningzhen district, indicates that those intrusions were emplaced in the Late Early Cretaceous, with ages of 107.0±1.1 Ma-108.0±1.6 Ma, 108.0±1.3 Ma, and 102.5±1.1 Ma, respectively. Combined with the molybdenite Re-Os isotope age (106-108 Ma) of porphyry copper deposit in this regions, the Ningzhen district exists an intensively magmatic-metallogenic-thermal event at 102.5-108.0 Ma. The age of this event is similar with the age of the third period of large scale mineralization in South China, however obviously later than the magmatic activity of other ore field (124-148 Ma) in the Middle-Lower Yangtze River Valley metallogenic belt. It is suggested that the tectonic-magmatic-thermal events in the Ningzhen area is formed under regional lithospheric extension environment, which is also consistent with the tectonic background of the third period of large scale mineralization in South China. The zircon U-Pb ages of the intrusions and the Re-Os ages of molybdenites from the porphyry deposits in the study area demonstrate that the Ningzhen district underwent intensive magmatism and hydrothermal mineralization during the period from 102.5 to 108.0 Ma, which is consistent with the third pulse of large scale mineralization in the South China. ©, 2015, Science Press.

Characteristics and origin of carbon isotopes of n-alkanes in crude oils from the western Pearl River Mouth Basin,South China sea

The quantitative characterization of carbon isotopes of n-alkanes is commonly carried out in organic geochemical studies. Possible controls on carbon isotopes include source organic matter, maturity, fractionation during oil expulsion and migration, and the mixing of different oils. In this study of the origin of crude oils in the western Pearl River Mouth Basin, the influences of all of these factors have been considered in reaching a conclusion. Carbon isotopes of n-alkanes in the crude oils, and the extracts of the two effective source rocks (the Wenchang and Enping formations) in the basin, exhibit clear differences. The Wenchang source rocks have heavy δ¹³C values that remain almost constant or become slightly heavier with increasing carbon number. The Enping source rocks have light δ¹³C values that become lighter with increasing carbon number. Two groups of oils in this area were identified based on the carbon isotopes of the n-alkanes; groupIoils are similar to extracts of the Wenchang source rocks. However, the groupIIoils are different from both the Wenchang and Enping source rocks and the carbon isotopic profiles of their n-alkanes exhibit a “V” feature with increasing carbon number. The results of artificial thermal maturation experiments indicate that, from the early stage to the peak stage of oil generation (with EasyRo between 0.64% and 1.02%), the δ¹³C values of n-alkanes in the pyrolysis oils become heavier by about 3‰ with increasing thermal maturity, but the shape of the carbon isotopic profiles are not significantly changed. Calculated δ¹³C values of n-alkanes in “mixed” artificial pyrolysis oils indicate that the mixture of oils generated from the same source rocks with different maturities could not change the carbon isotopic profile of the n-alkanes, however, a mixing of the Wenchang and Enping oils could give the “V” feature in the profiles, similar to the groupIIoils in this area. The groupIIoils appear to be mixed Wenchang and Enping oils, the latter being the dominant component in the mixture. We conclude that the source organic matter and the degree of mixing are the main factors controlling the carbon isotopic characteristics of n-alkanes in crude oils in the western Pearl River Mouth Basin.

班公湖- 怒江缝合带同碰撞海沟盆地砂岩物源分析及其大地构造意义

同碰撞海沟沉积可为重建板块缝合带大地构造演化、约束陆块初始碰撞时间提供重要信息。本文对班公湖-怒江缝合带西段的改则县亚多组和日土县多仁组进行了沉积学、岩相学、碎屑锆石年代学、重矿物研究。沉积学分析表明,多仁组、亚多组沉积于海底扇环境。最年轻的碎屑锆石年龄限制了最早沉积时代为晚侏罗世。多仁组、亚多组砂岩Q：F：L分别为52：4：44、32：8：60,均以丰富的沉积岩和酸性火成岩岩屑及少量的变质岩屑为特征;重矿物以磷灰石、锆石、电气石等稳定重矿物为主。多仁组和亚多组具有相似的碎屑锆石年龄分布模式,主峰分布在350～200 Ma、550～450 Ma、900～750 Ma、1900～1800 Ma、2550～2450 Ma范围内。这些数据表明,亚多组、多仁组碎屑物质来源于沉积区北侧的班公湖-怒江缝合带增生杂岩及南羌塘岩浆岩。多仁组、亚多组出现的大量沉积岩岩屑,表明物源区经历了广泛的构造缩短作用,导致沉积岩和同期岩浆岩被剥蚀,因此多仁组、亚多组是拉萨-羌塘同碰撞的产物。据此推断,沿班公湖-怒江缝合带改则-日土区域拉萨-羌塘初始碰撞发生在晚侏罗世多仁组、亚多组沉积之前。     

塔里木克拉通北缘阔克塔格西富碱侵入岩成因及其构造意义——锆石U- Pb年代学、岩石地球化学及Sr- Nd- Hf- O同位素制约

富碱侵入岩具有深源浅成的属性,是示踪地幔组成的窗口。位于东天山与塔里木克拉通北缘交界处的阔克塔格以西出露一处以正长岩为主体、包含少量中—基性岩石单元的富碱侵入岩。LA- ICP- MS锆石U- Pb测年显示其侵位于227~224 Ma之间,为印支期岩浆作用产物。该岩体具有富碱（Na2O+K2O=7. 93%~ 12. 28%）、富铝（Al2O3=15. 62%~18. 67%）、贫镁（MgO=0. 12%~4. 01%）、贫钛（TiO2=0. 14%~1. 63%）的特征,属于准铝质的（A/CNK=0. 78~1. 00）高钾钙碱性—钾玄岩系列。微量元素表现出高场强元素Nb、Ta、Th、U、Zr、Hf的富集,不相容元素Sr、P、Ti的亏损特征;轻重稀土分馏明显（（La/Yb）N=15. 09~34. 90）,表现为轻稀土强烈富集的右倾型曲线,Eu异常变化较大（δEu=0. 12~1. 72）。在同位素组成上,富碱侵入岩呈现相对宽泛但总体富集的全岩Sr- Nd和锆石Hf同位素特征,(87Sr/86Sr)i=0. 70489~0. 70581,εNd(t)=14. 56~6. 74,εHf(t)=11. 48~+3. 06,锆石δ18O值（5. 49‰~6. 87‰）略高于地幔值（5. 3‰±0. 6‰）。阔克塔格西富碱侵入岩具A1型花岗岩特征,形成于板内伸展构造环境中。基于主、微量元素及Sr- Nd- Hf- O同位素特征,笔者认为该杂岩体为同源岩浆演化产物,源于富集岩石圈地幔的原始岩浆上升并经历AFC（同化混染- 分离结晶）过程。晚三叠世塔里木克拉通北缘—东天山—北山地区处于板内构造体制,A1型花岗岩和正长岩差异化的时空分布特征很可能记录了古亚洲洋自西到东 “剪刀式”的闭合过程。     

南阿尔金地区早古生代中酸性侵入岩的岩石成因及其对构造演化的指示意义

南阿尔金造山带位于塔里木盆地和柴达木盆地之间,是中国西北地区重要的俯冲-碰撞杂岩带,其早古生代构造演化过程是近年来的研究热点之一,然而,洋壳俯冲的时限一直存在争议。本文对茫崖石英二长岩开展岩石学、地球化学、锆石U-Pb年代学和锆石Lu-Hf同位素地球化学研究,探讨其岩石成因及成岩时的构造环境。样品显示高碱、富钾、低钛、贫铁及Nd-Ta-Ti异常等与钾玄岩相似的地球化学特征,成岩年龄为511～495 Ma, ε_Hf(t)主要为-3.51～-0.08,少量介于0.04～1.69之间。我们认为俯冲洋壳到达角闪岩相边界时释放大量水并上升进入地幔楔,导致地幔楔橄榄岩发生角闪石化交代作用,由于地幔楔沿俯冲带向下拖曳而温度升高,角闪石化橄榄岩熔融形成的熔体在上升过程诱发上地壳物质部分熔融,壳源岩浆混合少量幔源岩浆形成了石英二长岩,该期花岗岩是对造山带从大洋岛弧环境向活动大陆边缘过渡的岩石学响应。因此,南阿尔金洋壳可能在约517 Ma前已经开始俯冲。
