鳞侧尖柳珊瑚Paracis squamata(Nutting,1910)(八放珊瑚亚纲:丛柳珊瑚科)的形态学和系统发育研究

2014年自雅浦海沟附近的一座海山通过水下无人遥控潜水器获得3株八放珊瑚样本,通过对其珊瑚虫和骨片观察,并结合线粒体错配修复蛋白基因(mtMutS)的测序分析,进行了分类学和系统发育研究。结果显示,3株八放珊瑚均为鳞侧尖柳珊瑚Paracis squamata (Nutting,1910)。该物种主要特征为具有鳞片状的萼部骨片和无规则板状的共肉组织外层骨片。在基于mtMutS基因构建的系统发育树中,鳞侧尖柳珊瑚与侧尖柳珊瑚未定种(Paracis sp.)以高置信度聚在一起,侧尖柳珊瑚属(Paracis)和鳞尖柳珊瑚属(Lepidomuricea)以高支持率形成姐妹枝。本文对鳞侧尖柳珊瑚的形态学特征进行了全面研究,首次描述了共肉组织内层骨片的特征,揭示侧尖柳珊瑚属与鳞尖柳珊瑚属具有较近的亲缘关系。     

Interdecadal change in Western Pacific Subtropical High and climatic effects

Western North Pacific Subtropical High is a very important atmospheric circulation system influencing the summer climate over eastern China. Its interdecadal change is analyzed in this study. There is a significant decadal shift in about 1979/1980. Since 1980, the Western North Pacific Subtropical High has enlarged, intensified, and shifted southwestward. This change gives rise to an anti-cyclonic circulation anomaly over the region from the South China Sea to western Pacific and thus causes wet anomalies over the Yangtze River valley. During the summers of 1980–1999, the precipitation is 63.9 mm above normal, while during 1958–1979 it is 27.3 mm below normal. The difference is significant at the 99% confidence level as at-test shown. The southwestward expanding of the Western North Pacific Subtropical High also leads to a significant warming in southern China, during 1980–1999 the summer mean temperature is 0.37°C warmer than that of the period 1958–1979. The strong warming is primarily due to the clearer skies associated with the stronger downward air motion as the Western North Pacific Subtropical High expanding to the west and controlling southern China. It is also found that the relative percentage of tropical cyclones in the regions south of 20°N is decreasing since the 1980s, but in the regions north of 20°N that is increasing at the same time. The Western North Pacific Subtropical High responds significantly to sea surface temperature of the tropical eastern Pacific with a lag of one-two seasons and simultaneously to sea surface temperature of the tropical Indian Ocean. The changes in the sea surface temperatures are mainly responsible for the interdecadal variability of the Western North Pacific Subtropical High.

Stable isotope geochemistry of Alpine ophiolites: a window to ocean-floor hydrothermal alteration and constraints on fluid–rock interaction during high-pressure metamorphism

 The subduction of hydrated oceanic lithosphere potentially transports large volumes of water into the upper mantle; however, despite its potential importance, fluid–rock interaction during high-pressure metamorphism is relatively poorly understood. The stable isotope and major element geochemistry of Pennine ophiolite rocks from Italy and Switzerland that were metamorphosed at high pressures are similar to that of unmetamorphosed ophiolites, suggesting that they interacted with little pervasive fluid during high-pressure metamorphism. Cover sediments also have oxygen isotope ratios within the expected range of their protoliths. In the rocks that escaped late greenschist-facies retrogression, different styles of sub-ocean-floor alteration may be identified using oxygen isotopes, petrology, and major or trace element geochemistry. Within the basalts, zones that have undergone high- and low-temperature sub-ocean-floor alteration as well as relatively unaltered rocks can be distinguished. Serpentinites have δ¹⁸O and δ²H values that suggest that they were formed by hydration on or below the ocean floor. The development of high-pressure metamorphic mineralogies in metagabbros occurred preferentially in zones that underwent sub-ocean-floor alteration and which contained hydrated, fine-grained, reactive assemblages. Given that the transformation of blueschist-facies metabasic rocks to eclogite-facies assemblages involves the breakdown of hydrous minerals (e.g. lawsonite, zoisite, and glaucophane), and will thus liberate considerable volumes of fluids, metamorphic fluid flow must have been strongly channelled. High-pressure (quartz+calcite±omphacite±glaucophane±titanoclinohumite) veins that cut the ophiolite rocks represent one possible channel; however, stable isotope and major element data suggest that they were not formed from large volumes of exotic fluids. Fluids were more likely channelled along faults and shear zones that were active during high-pressure metamorphism. Such strong fluid channelling may cause fluids to migrate toward the accretionary wedge, especially along the slab–mantle interface, which is probably a major shear zone. This may preclude all but a small fraction of the fluids entering the mantle wedge to flux melting. Additionally, because fluids probably interact with relatively small volumes of rock in the channels, they cannot "scavenge" elements from the subducting slab efficiently.

昆仑山北麓阿羌黄土剖面AQS3层段记录的末次间冰阶千年尺度的气候波动

通过对昆仑山北麓阿羌黄土剖面AQS3层段的年代测试、粒度参数(Mz和σ)以及主要氧化物(SiO2,Al2O3,TOFE(Fe2O3 FeO)和(Al2O3 TOFE)/SiO2比值)分析,并结合区域相关地层反映的古环境和腹足类化石指示的古生态,认为AQS3记录了末次间冰阶19个旋回的干冷与暖湿的气候波动。其中,15个具有千年尺度旋回的各个温暖期能够较好地与GRIP冰芯氧同位素曲线中的D-O事件在时代和气候性质上进行一一对比。可能是由于地处毗邻冰川山麓、加之海拔较高,故该层段粒度与主要氧化物显示的气候变动的幅度并不大,然而却相当敏感。不仅于此,这种千年尺度的温暖气候变化在昆仑山北麓及其近邻区域也有明显的表现。例如,在昆仑山北麓普鲁地层剖面中,指示暖干气候作用下形成的含石膏等盐类的砂土砾石层的TL年龄为距今31000年、45500～41600年、45900年和54500年,可以依次与GRIPδ18O中的间冰段D/O6,D/O12,D/O13和D/O15进行对比;在阿尔金山北麓,类似的并具有荒漠漆的砂土砾石层的TL年龄为37200aB.P.和59700aB.P.,分别相当于D/O9和D/O17间冰段;在塔克拉玛干沙漠腹地的高阶地(海拔1310m),可能代表了剧烈升温的气候背景下,环塔里木盆地四周高山冰雪大量消融导致的塔克拉玛干沙漠腹地的"大湖期",其日历年为33197aB.P.,与GISP2冰芯氧同位素曲线在33000aB.P.的暖阶段相当。发生在昆仑山北麓及毗邻区域AQS3时期若干温暖阶段的地层学证据以及其在时间上能够与GRIP和GISP2冰芯氧同位素曲线相关暖峰的耦合,表明由阿羌剖面末次间冰阶粒度和主氧化物峰谷变化反映出来的多次冷暖波动,其根本原因还是受到北半球D/O振荡的强烈影响。     

The start‐up of the Dolomia Principale/Hauptdolomit carbonate platform (Upper Triassic) in the eastern Southern Alps

Wide carbonate platform environments developed on the western passive margin of the Tethys during the Late Triassic, after a major climate change (Carnian Pluvial Episode) that produced a crisis of high‐relief microbial carbonate platforms. The peritidal succession of this epicontinental platform (Dolomia Principale/Hauptdolomit, Dachstein Limestone) is widespread in the Mediterranean region. However, the start‐up stage is not fully understood. The original platform to basin depositional geometries of the system have been studied in the north‐eastern Southern Alps, close to the Italian/Slovenian boundary where they are exceptionally preserved. Sedimentological features have been investigated in detail by measuring several stratigraphic sections cropping out along an ideal depositional profile. The analysis of the facies architecture allowed reconstruction of the palaeoenvironments of the Dolomia Principale platform during its start‐up and early growth stages in the late Carnian. The carbonate platform was characterized by an outer platform area, connected northward to steep slopes facing a relatively deep basin. Southward, the outer platform was connected to inner sheltered environments by a narrow, often emerged shelf crest. Behind this zone, carbonate sedimentation occurred in shallow lagoons and tidal flats, passing inward to a siliciclastic mudflat. The Dolomia Principale platform was initially aggrading and able to keep pace with a concomitant sea‐level rise, and then prograding during the late Carnian. This stratigraphic interval was correlated with the Tuvalian succession of the Dolomites, allowing depiction of the depositional system on a wide scale of hundreds of kilometres. This large‐scale depositional system presents features in common with some Palaeozoic and Mesozoic carbonate build‐ups (for example, the Permian Capitan Reef complex, Anisian Latemar platform), both in terms of architecture and prevailing carbonate producers. A microbial‐dominated carbonate factory is found in the outer platform and upper slope. The recovery of high‐relief microbial carbonate platforms marks the end of the Carnian Pluvial Episode in the Tuvalian of Tethys.     

Calpionellid zones of the Tithonian–Berriasian exotic limestone clasts from the Outer Carpathians,Poland

Calpionellids and chitinoidellids were identified from exotic limestone clasts occurring in flysch deposits of the Early Cretaceous to Oligocene age from the Silesian and Subsilesian nappes of the Polish Outer Carpathians. They represent the remnants of carbonate sedimentation along the northern and southern margin of the Severin-Moldavidic Basin, areas which are no longer preserved on the surface. Chitinoidellid and calpionellid assemblages characterize the Chitinoidella, Crassicollaria and Calpionella zones (latest early Tithonian–early Berriasian). The calpionellid zonation for the Western Carpathians was used for the present study, but some difficulties were encountered resulting from the application of this zonation. Cathodoluminescence imaging (CL) was useful for the identification of these microfossils in samples containing sparse and poorly preserved specimens, especially in the studied shallow-water limestone (the so-called Štramberk-type limestones).     

Genesis of the Ore-related Granite Porphyry and Molybdenite Re-Os Age of Laomiaogou Porphyry-skarn Mo Deposit,Western Henan Province: Implications for Regional MineralizationEI北大核心CSCD

The newly discovered Laomiaogou porphyry-skarn Mo deposit is located south of the Machaoying fault in western Henan province. The ore-body is hosted in the contact between the Laomiaogou granite porphyry dyke and the Duguan Formation. LA-ICP-MS U-Pb analyses for zircons from the granite porphyry yield a weighted mean 206Pb/238U age of 152.1±0.6 Ma, and seven molybdenite separates yield a weighted mean age of 151.9±0.9 Ma and isochron age of 151.6±5.1 Ma. Thus, the granite porphyry dyke and Mo mineralization are contemporaneous. The ore-related granite porphyry dyke is a peraluminous I-type granite with high contents of SiO2 and K2O. The rocks are strongly depleted in P, Nb, Ta and Ti, indicative of intensive fractionation of apatite and Fe-Ti oxides, and characterized by low whole-rock εNd(t) (-20.6 to -17.6) and zircon εHf(t) values (-26.9 to -22.6). The old tDM2(Nd) ages (2.37 to 2.61 Ga) and zircon tDM2(Hf) ages (2.62 to 2.88 Ga) suggest that the granite porphyry was likely derived from an ancient crustal source. Considering the tectonic evolution and geochemical characteristics of the granite as well as other Mesozoic granites in the southern margin of the North China Craton, we suggest that the Laomiaogou granite porphyry dyke and Mo were most likely derived from partial melting of the Taihua Group metamorphic rocks under extensional tectonic regime related to the subduction of the paleo-pacific plate. © 2018, Science Press.
