四川后高坪地区晚泥盆世植物和遗迹化石的新发现

在扬子板块西缘后高坪地区新发现植物化石Cyclostigma kiltorkense(平圆印木)和Lepidodendropsis hirmeri(希氏拟鳞木),以及遗迹化石Zoophycos(动藻迹)和Chondrties(丛藻迹),据此及相关地层和沉积相标志,确定该地层时代为晚泥盆世,沉积环境为由早期为滨岸较粗碎屑岩和浅海中上部细碎屑岩沉积,晚期为碳酸盐台地相。     

龙门山泥盆纪腕足化石锶同位素组成特征及其古环境意义

生物成因的海相碳酸盐岩中Sr同位素组成与演化是目前研究古海平面变化、造山运动以及古气候变化的主要工具,在海相地层定年及全球等时对比研究中发挥着重要作用。对四川龙门山泥盆纪剖面腕足化石Sr同位素组成进行了研究。保存鉴定结果显示：腕足化石壳体结构保存完整;阴极射线照射下壳体不发光或部分壳体呈微弱橙黄色;大多数壳体微量元素Mn〈250μg／g、Sr〉400μg／g。表明腕足化石保存完好,后期成岩作用影响微弱。锶同位素结果显示：龙门山泥盆纪sr同位素演化同全球泥盆纪Sr同位素演化基本一致,表明龙门山泥盆纪Sr同位素演化受全球性变化影响。早泥盆世较高Sr同位素比值（甘溪组0．708437）可能是受加里东造山运动的影响,大量古陆的出露,风化作用的加强所致。其后的缓慢下降可能受海平面上升古陆面积缩小的影响。中泥盆世Sr同位素组成低值平台显示着幔源Sr和陆源Sr（风化作用较弱）输入量之间的平衡。随后的Sr同位素组成的上升可能是受中泥盆世开始温度上升的影响,致使风化作用的加强所致。     

New Devonian plant fossil occurrences on the New South Wales South Coast: geological implications

Devonian fossil localities are summarised for coastal southeastern Australia, including both marine invertebrates representing a major late Frasnian (Late Devonian) transgression, and plant remains of Middle–Late Devonian age in associated non-marine strata. Lycopsid plant specimens (Leptophloeum) from near Majors Creek, NSW, first documented by Edgeworth David and E. F. Pittman in association with marine fossils to demonstrate a Late Devonian age, are illustrated for the first time. Lycopsid plants of presumed Middle Devonian age are illustrated from three new localities: Yowrie River inland from Cape Dromedary, Tuross River northwest of Narooma and Charlies Forest Road northeast of Braidwood. The Yowrie River occurrence (in float) indicates probable Middle Devonian strata upstream that are not shown on published maps. The Tuross River occurrence is in sheared and folded strata previously mapped as Ordovician, and the Braidwood occurrence demonstrates Devonian black shales adjacent to previously mapped Ordovician. Evidence supporting alternative thrust or simple fold interpretations for the Budawang Synclinorium is discussed, and relevant Ordovician fossil localities are listed.     

扬子板块西北缘早中泥盆世构造演化：来自略阳地区踏坡组岩石学、锆石年代学和微量元素组成的约束

碧口地块北缘下中泥盆统踏坡组的物源长期被认为来自碧口地块新元古界基底——碧口岩群,但一直缺少碎屑锆石物源数据的支持。本文对略阳地区泥盆系踏坡组不同层位的3个碎屑岩样品开展了系统的岩石学、锆石岩相学及其U-Pb定年和微量元素组成研究。锆石晶体特征对比分析显示,研究样品存在两种类型的锆石:普遍发育变质增生边的碎屑锆石(剖面北段样品)和不发育变质增生边的典型岩浆成因的碎屑锆石(剖面南、中段样品)。前者显示2个年龄峰值(～2.5 Ga主峰、～2.0 Ga次峰),还形成了2473±24 Ma的上交点年龄和359±84 Ma的下交点年龄,而后者两个样品有着一致的年龄峰值(～2.0 Ga主峰、～2.5 Ga次峰和～1.39 Ga微小峰值)。3个样品的谐和年龄均大于1.3 Ga,并不能限定踏坡组的沉积时代,且均不支持其物源主要来自碧口岩群的传统认识。碎屑锆石地球化学判别图解指示它们的源岩主要为形成于造山带环境中的花岗岩类(花岗闪长岩和英云闪长岩)、基性岩和钾镁煌斑岩。基于样品中的岩屑类型,结合区域地质、古流向、锆石年龄对比和源岩判别,认为踏坡组的原始物源来自位于扬子板块北缘的太古宙—古元古代基底(鱼洞子杂岩和崆岭杂岩),并且鱼洞子杂岩在踏坡组沉积后期曾大面积出露/抬升。同时表明碧口地块可能至少在早中泥盆世就与扬子板块拼合在一起了。     

中阿尔泰造山带北缘早泥盆世构造环境探讨:来自托普色克他乌地区过铝质花岗岩年代学和地球化学的制约

中阿尔泰造山带北缘早泥盆世花岗岩的年代学和地球化学研究,对探讨该地区早泥盆世构造格架和演化过程具有重要意义。针对侵入于喀纳斯群哲里开特组的托普色克他乌花岗闪长岩体进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年,获得其^( 206)Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄为404 Ma±3.2 Ma(MSWD=0.32),为早泥盆世岩浆活动的产物。全岩地球化学分析表明,岩石具有高硅(w_SiO2

Hercynian polyphase tectonics in the northeast French Massif Central: the closure of the Brévenne Devonian–Dinantian rift

 Field and laboratory structural studies show that the Devonian–Dinantian units of the northeast French Massif Central experienced a complex and contrasting tectonic–metamorphic evolution during the Hercynian orogeny. The structural analysis of the pre-Middle Visean Brévenne–Violay–Beaujolais rocks, in the Loire area, shows a polyphase tectonic evolution associated with greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphism. The first event, D1, probably occurred in Early Tournaisian or Latest Devonian times. It is responsible for the flat-lying regional foliation and the NW/SE- to N/S-trending lineation. It is well observed in the Violay group and corresponds to the NW-vergent emplacement of the Late Devonian units upon their gneissic basement, represented by the Affoux gneisses. The second event, D2, is responsible for the NE/SW- to E/W-trending lineation. To the south, D2 deformation is locally reworked by the Grand-Chemin dextral wrench fault, around 345–350 Ma ago. This polyphase deformation is also found in several Devonian–Dinantian areas of the NE Massif Central, but not in Morvan. This tectonics corresponds to the Tournaisian closure, by northward thrusting and subsequent intracontinental deformation, of the oceanic Brévenne–Violay–Beaujolais rift which opened in Devonian times in a back-arc setting.

贵州都匀下泥盆统蟒山群Zosterophyllum australianum(澳大利亚工蕨)新材料及其古地理意义*

Zosterophyllum(工蕨属)是早期陆生植物的代表性类群之一,全球广泛分布。Z.australianum(澳大利亚工蕨)产自华南和澳大利亚,是东北冈瓦纳古植物地理区系的典型分子。文中描述了产自贵州都匀包阳剖面蟒山群中的Z.australianum新材料。该标本的孢子囊具短柄,呈椭圆形或扇形,宽2.6~4.1 mm,高可达3.9 mm,加厚带宽约0.6 mm,紧密螺旋排列形成孢子囊穗,与云南文山早泥盆世坡松冲植物群中的Z. australiaunum极为相似。依据目前对Z. australianum时代延限的认识,并结合蟒山群其他植物属种的发现(如Adoketophyton subverticillatum),推断该群下段的时代为早泥盆世布拉格期。Z. australianum在蟒山群中的发现,扩展了该植物的地理分布范围,反映出蟒山群中的植物组合与坡松冲植物群存在一定联系。
