青海省活动断裂带分布发育特征研究

青海省活动断裂带在印度板块的推挤作用下具有各自不同的空间展布和运动学特征,通过对省内24条活动断裂带的研究,得出NNW向断裂带右旋走滑的同时还具有逆时针旋转的运动特性,柴达木盆地西南边缘的茫崖油沙山断裂的形成可能是阿尔金断裂带左旋走滑的压应力分量和持续板块推挤在青藏高原北部的一种响应,中更新世以来的构造运动决定了现今青海构造地貌的基本形态,现今高原北部的隆升主要集中在柴达木盆地西侧和祁连山地区,挤压应力分布表现为南北强于中部、东部强于西部。     

浙东新近纪一种栎属植物化石微细特征及其古环境指示

归于壳斗科栎属的一种植物化石黄毛青冈(亲缘种)Quercusaff.delavayi Franch采于浙江天台中新统下南山组。该化石不仅具有与现生黄毛青冈Quercus delavayi Franch相似的叶形态结构,而且两者表皮微细构造亦颇为一致,宏观和微观特征表明,当前材料与现生黄毛青冈具有一定的亲缘关系。通过研究不同时间、不同地点现生黄毛青冈的表皮微细特征,发现黄毛青冈毛基的个体发育重演了青冈亚属毛基的系统演化。进一步比较化石与现生材料的毛基参数及其他表皮特征,推论浙江天台中新世的古气候较现在温暖湿润,根据现生与化石黄毛青冈气孔比率计算出浙江天台中新世古大气CO2体积分数为(395.22±5.61)×10-6。     

Cyclostratigraphic dating in the Lower Badenian (Middle Miocene) of the Vienna Basin (Austria): the Baden-Sooss core

The scientific borehole Baden-Sooss penetrates a succession of Badenian (Langhian, Middle Miocene) sediments at the type locality of the Badenian, the old brickyard Baden-Sooss in the Vienna Basin. The sedimentary succession of the 102-m-cored interval consists of more than 95% bioturbated, medium-to-dark gray marly shales with carbonate contents between 11 and 25% and organic carbon contents between 0.35 and 0.65%. Biostratigraphic investigations on foraminifera (mainly lower part of Upper Lagenid Zone) and calcareous nannoplankton (standard zone NN5) indicate an early Badenian (Langhian) age. Cycles in carbonate content, organic carbon content, and magnetic susceptibility have been identified by power spectra analysis. Correlations between the three variables are extremely significant. Using cross-correlation, periods around 40 m correlate significantly with the 100 kyr⁻¹ eccentricity cycle, the ∼20 m periods with the obliquity cycle, and the 15 to 11-m periods with both precession cycles. Wavelet transformation and decomposition of composite periodic functions were used to obtain the position of the cycle peaks in the profile. Cross-correlation with orbital cycles (La2004) dates the Baden-Sooss core between −14.379 ± 1 and −14.142 my ± 9 kyr.     

青藏高原北部中新统五道梁群湖相沉积碳氧同位素变化及古气候旋回

通过对中新统五道梁群湖相沉积进行全岩心钻探和碳氧同位素测试,获得青藏高原北部中新世早期古环境变化和古气候旋回的重要地质记录.五道梁群约150 m湖相沉积以灰岩、白云质灰岩与泥灰岩为主.仅在深度50.0～51.0 m出现湖相沉积间断,上下均为连续湖相沉积.深度140～145 m湖相沉积碳氧同位素剧烈变化,碳同位素(δ13C/‰)出现2次最低峰值,氧同位素(δ18O/‰)出现2次最高峰值;深度140.7 m湖相沉积碳同位素(δ13C/‰)和氧同位素(δ18O/‰)同时出现极低值.对应于渐新世/中新世界线深海沉积记录的Mi-1全球古气候事件.深度140.7～14.2 m湖相沉积碳氧同位素记录了Mi-1期后7次1.2 Ma天文周期的古气候旋回,深度62.6～9.86 m湖相沉积碳氧同位素记录了9次周期约17.4 ka的古气候旋回.根据湖相沉积碳氧同位素记录的古气候旋回,推断青藏高原北部五道梁盆地中新世早期古大湖发育时期为(24.1±0.6)Ma～(14.5±0.5)Ma,年均气温变化范围为19～21℃,平均约20.0℃.     

Late Oligocene–Miocene mantle upwelling and interaction inferred from mantle signatures in gabbroic to granitic rocks from the Urumieh–Dokhtar arc,south Ardestan,Iran

The south Ardestan plutonic rocks constitute major outcrops in the central part of Iran’s Cenozoic magmatic belt and encompass a wide compositional spectrum from gabbro to granodiorite. U–Pb laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) dating of zircon three granodiorites yielded ages of 24.6 ± 0.1, 24.6 ± 0.1, and 24.5 ± 0.1 Ma. For tonalitic rocks, internal Rb–Sr isochron ages (biotite, feldspars) indicate cooling ages of 20.4 ± 0.1, 20.5 ± 0.1, and 22.3 ± 0.1 Ma, which are slightly younger than the zircons’ ages. The limited variations in their Sr–Nd isotope ratios indicate derivation from an asthenospheric mantle source. A geodynamic model is presented in which late Oligocene–Miocene rollback of the Neotethyan subducting slab triggered asthenospheric upwelling and partial melting in the south Ardestan. These melts were subsequently modified through fractional crystallization and minor crustal contamination en-route to the surface. Plagioclase + orthopyroxene-dominated fractional crystallization accounts for differentiation of gabbro to gabbroic diorite, whereas fractionation of clinopyroxene, titanomagnetite, and orthopyroxene led to differentiation of gabbroic diorite to diorite. Amphibole fractionation at deeper levels led to the development of tonalites.

Extreme aridity prior to lake expansion deciphered from facies evolution in the Miocene Ili Basin,south‐east Kazakhstan

Central Asia witnessed progressive aridification during the Miocene, commonly related to mountain uplift, the Paratethys retreat and global climate cooling. However, the formation of Miocene lakes in Central Asia seems to oppose drier conditions, suggesting that the precise timing, extent and forcing of the aridification is still not well constrained. This study presents a facies model for the alluvial–lacustrine part of the Middle to Late Miocene of the Ili Basin, obtained from two successions. The model enables the semi‐quantitative assessment of regional water level and salinity, and characterizes the control of water level on evaporite formation and diagenesis. Both the proximal Kendyrlisai and the distal Aktau successions show an overall increase in water availability from dry mudflat deposits to lacustrine sedimentation with a transitional playa phase. Increasing evaporation rates outpaced the water supply and caused groundwater salinization. Subsequent lake expansion coincided with a basin‐wide desalinization and required a shift to a positive water budget. A climatic control of the hydrological evolution is inferred due to abrupt salinization and a minor tectonic influence. The long‐term water accumulation is probably related to the hydrological closure of the basin in the early Middle Miocene (15·3 Ma). Starting at 14·3 Ma, the step‐wise salinization occurred simultaneously with the global cooling of the Miocene Climate Transition. The Miocene Climate Transition led to extreme aridity in the Ili Basin, highlighted by the early diagenetic formation of displacive anhydrite in the basin centre. The expansion of the freshwater lake (12·7 to 11·5 Ma) was possibly promoted by lower evaporation rates due to decreasing air temperatures in the Ili Basin after the Miocene Climate Transition. The extreme aridity in the Ili Basin is interpreted as a continental counterpart to the Badenian Salinity Crisis in the Central Paratethys. This emphasizes the role of atmospheric forcing on evaporite sedimentation across Eurasia during the Middle Miocene.     

Dinoflagellate cyst stratigraphy and palaeoenvironment of the marginal marine Middle and Upper Miocene of the eastern Campine area,northern Belgium (southern North Sea Basin)

A stratigraphical and palaeoenvironmental analysis with organic‐walled palynomorphs of the Bolderberg and Diest formations provides new insights in the depositional history during Miocene times at the southern border of the North Sea Basin. The Neogene transgression invaded Belgium from a north–northwestern direction and fully marine sediments were deposited in the northern part of Belgium. The age and the palaeoenvironment of the deposits at the very border of the southern North Sea Basin remained till a few decades ago incomplete. The recovered dinoflagellate cysts, acritarchs and green algae from the Bolderberg Formation in the Wijshagen Borehole indicate a marginal marine depositional environment during late Burdigalian and Langhian times in the eastern Campine area, in contrast to the deeper marine conditions prevailing to the north–northwest. The relative dating of the Bolderberg Formation confirms that maximum flooding occurred during Langhian to early Serravallian times. Deposition apparently took place during the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum, and ended when the climatic deterioration set in at around 14 Ma. A hiatus spanning ca. 2 Ma separates the Middle Miocene Bolderberg Formation from the Upper Miocene Diest Formation in the eastern Campine area at the border of the North Sea Basin.

在构造和气候因素制约下雅鲁藏布江的演化

雅鲁藏布江位于印度和欧亚大陆汇聚带内，其形成受到冈底期山和喜马拉雅山差异性抬升的控制。冈底期山抬升在先，发生在中生代晚期至新生代早期。一系列起源于冈底期山和青藏高原的水系向南先是流主特提斯海。在特提斯海关闭后流入印度次大陆。喜马拉雅山构造抬升要晚于冈底斯山，大规模抬升发生在中新世早期，其抬升阻断了这些河流的通道，水流开始汇聚在这两个造山带之间，牙鲁藏布江由此形成。在雅鲁藏布江大拐弯地区，在海拔4500m处存在一个平坦的侵蚀面，并构成雅鲁藏布江大峡谷最高的一级谷肩，这表明雅鲁藏布江在下切前就在该面上流动，而且流速不大。在大拐弯以南，雅鲁藏布江的下游－布拉马普特拉河位于印度洋热带季风带内，其下切和源侵蚀速率很大。印度洋热带季风形成于6－9MaB.P.。因此，该河流很可能形成于该时期，要比雅鲁藏布江年轻，它在向北的溯源侵蚀的过程中袭夺了雅鲁藏布江，袭夺处可能就大拐弯的北端，因此大拐弯是袭夺成因。
