孟加拉湾晚第四纪的碳酸盐溶解旋回

孟加拉湾由于陆源物质大量输入产生稀释效应,使碳酸盐含量表现为冰期时减小、间冰期时增大的“大西洋型”旋回。通过对该区四支活塞岩芯的有孔虫溶解指数、浮游有孔虫沉积通量、CaCO₃ 沉积通量和 >16 0 μm粗组分沉积通量的分析发现,研究区碳酸盐溶解作用强烈,表现出冰期减弱而间冰期增强的总趋势,且溶解作用滞后于浮游有孔虫壳的氧同位素旋回,尤以氧同位素 4、5期的高溶解度情况与印度洋和太平洋氧同位素 5期晚期至 4期为CaCO₃溶解高峰一致。因此,孟加拉湾地区的CaCO₃ 旋回是大西洋型稀释作用与太平洋型溶解作用两者叠加的产物.     

辽东南地区晚中生代地层序列与盆地演化规律

辽东南地区晚中生代地层发育不甚完全,具有两期盆地叠合演化的特征,即早中侏罗世和早白垩世两个演化阶段,经历了2次伸展裂陷和2次挤压反转。在详细研究辽东南地区各盆地岩石地层序列、生物化石组合特征、年代地层格架以及区域地层对比的基础上,讨论了盆地的演化阶段和演化规律,指出是古太平洋板块向东亚大陆边缘不同方向的俯冲与走滑,以及来自北方西伯利亚板块的持续碰撞挤压的联合构造应力场制约了中国东北地区晚中生代盆地的裂陷过程和构造反转的演化,进而为揭示华北克拉通晚中生代岩石圈演化的动力学机制提供参考依据。     

Late Devensian environments in the Vale of Mowbray, North Yorkshire, UK: evidence from palynology

Two radiocarbon-dated Lateglacial pollen diagrams from the Vale of Mowbray (northern Vale of York) are presented from sites in the lowlands between the washlands courses of the rivers Swale and Ure in North Yorkshire, an area with little previous palynological research despite its proximity to the Devensian glacial advance limits in eastern England. The profiles, from Snape Mires and Nosterfield, include the Loch Lomond Stadial (Younger Dryas) and the Holocene transition, while that from Snape Mires also includes the period from the early part of the Lateglacial Interstadial. This profile differs from most published Interstadial diagrams from the Yorkshire region in having a long-delayed expansion of tree and shrub taxa. Juniperus (juniper) remains important after vegetation development takes place and the pollen record includes evidence of two cold climate oscillations before the maximum development of Betula (birch) woodland near the end of the Lateglacial Interstadial. At both profiles Artemisia (mugwort) frequencies are lower during the Loch Lomond Stadial than at many regional sites, probably due to edaphic factors in these lowland locations. The two sites provide valuable environmental data that enable comparison between the more wooded Lateglacial vegetation to the south in the Vale of York and Humberside and the more open contemporaneous vegetation to the north in the Durham and Northumberland lowlands.     

Late Holocene glacial and periglacial evolution in the upper Orco Valley, northwestern Italian Alps

The sediments present in some areas of the Orco Valley provide indications on climatic variations that occurred during the last 6000 years on the southern slopes of the Alps. In particular, distribution and ages of peat layers help define periods and extent of glacial fluctuation in the last 2200 years. Sampling of soils involved in periglacial processes provided a basis for development of a chronological framework of late Holocene environmental change. The data indicate a trend toward cooler climate in the second half of the Holocene. A strong relationship exists between phases of River Po flooding and expansion/retreat phases of the Swiss glaciers: major glacial advances were coeval with periods of intense flooding of the River Po, whereas the phases of glacial retreat coincided with periods of little flooding of the Po. Only in three cases do relationships between glacier activity and floods show weak correlations; two of the cases relate to the warmest periods in approximately the last 2200 years, while the third is the present period. Paleoclimatic evidence from the study region indicates the relatively warm Roman Period between about 2200 and 1900 cal yr BP appears to better represent modern conditions than does the Medieval Warm Period.     

西藏冈底斯带门巴地区印支期花岗岩地球化学特征及其构造意义

门巴地区晚三叠世花岗岩主要出露在西藏冈底斯构造带的弧背断隆上,主要岩石类型为黑云角闪花岗闪长岩和黑云二长花岗岩。岩石为钙碱性,具有富SiO2、K2O的特点。K2O/Na2O平均为1.13,相对富钾。Al2O3变化于13.27%～15.53%之间,A/CNK平均为1.0,为准铝质岩石。花岗岩体稀土元素总量∑REE变化于99.5×10-6～294.72×10-6之间,轻稀土元素富集,重稀土元素亏损,具弱至中等的负Eu异常。微量元素以富K、Rb、Ba、Th等大离子亲石元素和亏损Nb、Ta、Y、Yb等高场强元素为特征。岩石学和岩石地球化学研究表明,该时代的花岗岩具I型花岗岩的特点,形成于岛弧环境,是新特提斯洋早期俯冲作用的产物。同时它也暗示着冈底斯岩浆弧带在晚三叠世就已成雏形。     

四川盆地中三叠统雷口坡组有利沉积相带及岩相古地理特征

依据四川盆地古地理背景和古气候条件,结合中三叠统雷口坡组野外剖面、岩心和薄片的观察以及单井和连井沉积相等的分析认为,盆地周边水下隆起的障壁作用和干旱炎热气候条件共同影响雷口坡组的沉积相特征,海平面升降变化是控制沉积相发育和空间分布的重要因素。雷口坡组总体为一套障壁蒸发潟湖沉积,可分潟湖边缘坪、潟湖、潮坪和台缘障壁四种沉积亚相类型,并可进一步划分出多种微相。台缘障壁亚相潟湖边缘白云岩坪和颗粒浅滩是有利的沉积相带。雷口坡组可划分出SQ1—SQ4四个层序。绘制了雷口坡期各时段体系域的岩相古地理图,并分析了它们的岩相古地理特征。     

Ammonites (Phylloceratina,Lytoceratina and Ancyloceratina) and organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts from the Late Barremian in Boljetin,eastern Serbia

Late Barremian ammonite fauna from the epipelagic marlstone and marly limestone interbeds of Boljetin Hill (Boljetinsko Brdo) of Danubic Unit (eastern Serbia) is described. The ammonite fauna includes representatives of three suborders (Phylloceratina, Lytoceratina and Ancyloceratina), specifically Hypophylloceras danubiense n. sp., Lepeniceras lepense Rabrenović, Holcophylloceras avrami n. sp., Phyllopachyceras baborense (Coquand), Phyllopachyceras petkovici n. sp., Phyllopachyceras eichwaldi eichwaldi (Karakash), Phyllopachyceras ectocostatum Drushchits, Protetragonites crebrisulcatus (Uhlig), Macroscaphites perforatus Avram, Acantholytoceras cf. subcirculare (Avram), Dissimilites cf. trinodosus (d'Orbigny) and Argvethites? sp. The taxonomic composition and percent abundance of the identified ammonites indicate that their taxa are predominantly confined to the Tethyan realm. Ammonites with smooth and slightly sculptured shells predominate among the studied fauna. The ammonite-bearing succession from Boljetin represents the lower part of the Upper Barremian, ranging in ammonite zonation from the Toxancyloceras vandenheckei Zone to the lower part of the Imerites giraudi Zone. The associated organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts confirm the Late Barremian age of the ammonite-bearing levels.     

华南西部晚二叠世碳同位素地层学研究

对黔桂地区７条晚二叠世碳酸盐岩型煤系剖面进行了碳酸盐岩碳氧同位素测定，发现晚二叠世吴家坪阶与长兴阶碳酸盐岩的δ１３Ｃ值有明显差异，前者δ１３Ｃ多大于３．０‰，后者多小于３．０‰，进一步对晚二叠世δ１３Ｃ的变化原因的分析表明，δ１３Ｃ的变化可能与晚古生代末期聚煤作用的减弱密切相关，后者造成自然界碳库中的１２Ｃ的富集，从而使得海水以及在其中沉淀出的碳酸盐岩中的δ１３Ｃ值降低。此外，植物光合作用从大气中吸收ＣＯ２的量也随陆地植被减少而减少，结果造成大气中的ＣＯ２的大量富集，从而进一步产生温室效应，制约生物界的发展。联系到这一阶段生物界的衰亡灭绝，可以认为温室效应是晚二叠世生物逐渐衰亡及晚二叠世末群体灭绝的主要原因之一。
