A New Darwinopterid Pterosaur from the Middle Jurassic of Western Liaoning, Northeastern China and its Ecological Implications

A new species of Darwinopterus, D. robustodens sp. nov. is described and named. Based on the new specimen, the diagnostic characters of Darwinopterus are amended and include: rostral dentition composed of well-spaced, spike-like teeth; the longest teeth are confined to the anterior half of the tooth row; tooth alveoli have raised margins; nasoantorbital fenestra confluent; inclined quadrate; elongate cervical vertebrae with low neural spine and reduced or absent ribs; long tail of more than 20 caudals partially enclosed by filiform extensions of the pre- and postzygapophyses; short metacarpus less than 60 per cent length of humerus, fifth toe with two elongate phalanges and curved second pedal phalanx of the fifth toe with the angle between the proximal and distal segments about 130 degrees. The complete specimen of the new pterosaur D. robustodens sp. nov. provides much more osteological information. The differences in tooth morphologies between Darwinopterus modularis and D. robustodens sp. nov. suggest that they filled different ecological niches. The hard integument-bearing Coleoptera may have been the main food source of Darwinopterus robustodens.     

A New Genus and Species of Damsel-Dragonfly (Odonata: Isophlebioidea: Campterophlebiidae) in the Middle Jurassic of Inner Mongolia, China

The campterophlebiid new genus and species Ctenogampsophlebia reni is described from the Middle Jurassic of Inner Mongolia, China. It shows close similarities with the Lower to Middle Jurassic genera Gampsophlebia, and Petrophlebia, with closed and short subdiscoidal cells, confirming the attribution of these two other genera to the Campterophlebiidae.     

青海省天峻县木里煤田聚乎更矿区构造轮廓和地层格架

木里煤田聚乎更矿区是全球陆上中纬度、高海拔冻土带天然气水合物的发现地,也是当前青藏高原地质研究的热点地区之一。依据近年来的煤炭地质勘查资料,对聚乎更矿区的构造轮廓、含煤地层、沉积相和聚煤作用进行深入分析．认为聚乎更矿区位于祁连坳褶带西段,受大通山北缘和托莱山南缘对冲断裂组的制约,构造线总体方向为北西一南东向,构造轮廓表现为南北2个向斜,其中北向斜的煤炭赋存条件优于南向斜。聚乎更矿区含煤地层为中侏罗统木里组和江仓纽。主要可采煤层赋存于木里组上段,聚煤作用主要发生于木里组沉积期的辫状河淤浅之后发育的泥炭沼泽和湖泊、水下三角洲淤浅而发育的泥炭沼泽。     

福建华安玉的矿物学特征及成因研究

通过福建华安玉野外地质观察、室内显微镜下观察、矿物电子探针分析和X射线粉末衍射分析,研究了华安玉的结构构造和矿物组成,结果表明: 华安玉显示出不同艳丽的条带,实质上是不同矿物分带的体现,绿-墨绿色条带主要由铁次透辉石组成,红色或淡肉红色条带主要由钾长石组成,灰白色或乳白色条带主要由石英、方解石等矿物组成。并对华安玉的形成构造环境和成因进行了初步研究,认为其形成于被动大陆边缘的潮坪泻湖环境,原岩主要是钙质粉砂岩、泥灰岩、硅质岩等,燕山期强烈的构造岩浆活动对其进行了多期热接触变质或交代作用,钙质粉砂岩、泥灰岩、硅质岩等经变质成为透辉石角岩。     

基于实例推理系统的滑坡预警判据研究

为研究滑坡预警预报指标,建立了31个典型岩质滑坡组成的滑坡数据库,基于滑坡数据库、工程类比和模糊综合评判方法开发了滑坡实例推理系统。首先将滑坡特征属性分为6大项:破坏模式、滑面倾角、滑面类型、边坡岩体结构、边坡倾角、滑坡的诱发因素(降雨、地下水、水库蓄水、开挖、爆破、地震),用11个特征值表示边坡的特征属性;其次采用比值法相似度计算理论在滑坡数据库中搜索与目标边坡最相似的滑坡,通过工程类比给出滑坡预警判据建议值;最后依据模糊综合评判模型修正建议值,得到预警判据确认值,形成滑坡实例推理系统。以锦屏一级水电站为例,通过计算找到了滑坡数据库中与锦屏一级水电站左岸边坡最为相似的5个滑坡实例;其中大冶铁矿狮子山滑坡和安家岭露天矿滑坡有较为完整的变形监测数据,深入分析类似边坡变形破坏过程,分4个阶段给出了锦屏一级水电站左岸边坡预警判据建议值;并建立边坡预警判据修正的模糊综合评判模型,修正相似边坡预警判据,给出锦屏一级水电站左岸边坡进入加速变形阶段的位移速率阀值的精确区间为1.0～1.2 mm/d。     

Geochemical Characteristics and Geological Significance of Early Permian Baya’ertuhushuo Gabbro in South Great Xing’an Range

Field geological investigation and geochemical analysis are carried out on Baya’ertuhushuo Gabbro in South Great Xing’an Range. Field investigation reveals that the gabbro is a magmatic intrusion rather than a component of an ophiolite suite as previously thought. Zircon laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (LA-ICP-MS) U-Pb dating indicates the gabbro was formed in 274–275?Ma, just as the widespread volcanic rocks of Dashizhai Formation (P1d), monzogranites and miarolitic alkali-feldspar granites in the study area. The gabbro has SiO2 content between 47.23 wt% and 50.17 wt%, high MgO and FeOT contents of 6.95–11.29 wt% and 7.32–12.24wt%, respectively, and it belongs to low-K tholeiitic series in the SiO2-K2O diagram. The Chondrite-normalized rare earth element (REE) patterns and primitive mantle-normalized spider diagrams of the gabbro are similar to those of Normal Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt (N-MORB) except for the enrichment of large ion lithophile elements (LILE), such as Rb, Ba and K. In trace element tectonic discriminative diagrams, the samples are mainly plotted in the N-MORB field, and Zircon in?situ Lu-Hf isotopic analysis also indicates the gabbro originated from depleted mantle. Through synthetic studies of the geochemical characteristics and petrogenesis of Baya’ertuhushuo gabbro, volcanic rocks of Dashizhai Formation and granitoids in the area, it is suggested that the early Permian magmatism in the Xilinhot-Xiwuqi area formed in the tectonic setting of asthenosphere upwelling, which was caused by breaking-off of the subducted Paleo-Asian Ocean slab.     

塔里木盆地柯坪-巴楚地区早古生代白云岩类型及微量元素地球化学特征

通过对柯平-巴楚早古生代碳酸盐岩露头样品的染色薄片鉴定、阴极发光研究和微量元素测定及分析,根据其结构成因特征把研究区白云岩分为8种类型:(1)微-粉晶白云石;(2)具原生灰岩残余结构白云石;(3)细晶直面自形-半自形漂浮基质白云石;(4)细晶直面半自形-自形白云石;(5)中-粗晶曲面他形白云石;(6)中晶直面自形-半自形白云石胶结物;(7)粗晶曲面鞍形白云石基质,和(8)粗晶曲面鞍形白云石胶结物。样品微量元素地球化学的总体特征是轻稀土富集,重稀土亏损,不同样品的特征变化元素不同。鞍形白云石Eu正异常最高说明受到热液作用的影响。方解石的Ce/Ce*的值大于1,说明受到后期陆源碎屑影响比较大,而白云岩的Ce/Ce*的值都小于1,说明是幔源成因的。(La/Ce)N和(La/Yb)N比值亦进一步证明上述结论。鞍形白云石的Sr含量较低,Ba元素含量高,说明在成岩流体作用过程中Sr丢失,Ba富集说明是热液成因的鞍形白云岩。样品Sr/Ba比值均大于1,说明受到不同程度热液作用影响。U/Th比值也证明受到不同程度的热液改造。     

基于新测年资料的蓟县运动和燕山早期运动表现探讨:以深圳西部地区及东部大鹏半岛国家地质公园地区为例

鲁东地区玲珑型（超单元）花岗岩的锆石SHRIMP定年

玲珑型（超单元）花岗岩主要岩性为不同粒度的二长花岗岩,原划为新元古代震旦纪。根据在招掖地区新测的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄,崔召单元中粒二长花岗岩为（158±3）Ma、郭家店单元中粗粒二长花岗岩为（144±3）Ma;昆嵛山地区九曲单元弱片麻状中粒二长花岗岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄（153±2）Ma。玲珑型（超单元）锆石SHRIMP U-Pb同位素年龄值集中在160～140 Ma,结合宏观与其他地质体相互关系,改划为侏罗纪。玲珑型（超单元）花岗岩体属于侏罗纪钙碱系列的侵入体,主要显示长英质陆壳深熔花岗岩的特征。推断其形成于中下地壳深度,可能来源于加厚陆壳的部分熔融,是加厚下地壳拆沉作用的产物,而且可能标志着中国东部岩石圈减薄的开始。     

川西前陆盆地下侏罗统白田坝组沉积特征

依据钻井、露头及岩心资料,结合区域地质特征,详细研究了川西前陆盆地下侏罗统白田坝组沉积相和岩相古地理特征。结果表明,川西前陆盆地下侏罗统白田坝组主要发育冲积扇相、曲流河相、湖泊三角洲相和湖泊相4种沉积相类型。冲积扇相主要发育扇中和扇端两个亚相,扇根不发育;曲流河相发育河道和洪泛平原两个亚相;湖泊三角洲相发育三角洲平原、三角洲前缘两个亚相,前三角洲亚相不发育;湖泊相主要发育滨浅湖亚相和半深湖亚相,深湖亚相不发育。龙门山前缘的邛崃、安县、江油、旺苍、南江等地冲积扇广泛发育,大小、形状不同的冲积扇连接叠覆构成冲积扇群。在安县地区发育的冲积扇往东砾石由粗变细,逐渐过渡到河流的砂岩相。在金堂、三台等地河流入湖形成三角洲相沉积,并由三角洲进入湖泊沉积区,构成冲积扇—河流—三角洲—湖泊的沉积模式。
