5.30Ma以来华北哺乳动物群与磁性地层序列

通过中国北方５．３０Ｍａ以来含丰富哺乳动物化石的典型剖面的磁性地层研究,建立５．３０Ｍａ以来中国北方陆相哺乳动物群与磁性地层序列对比。中国黄土记录了Ｂｒｕｎｈｅｓ正极性带与Ｍａｔｕｙａｍａ负极性带,黄土年龄约２．５０ＭａＢ．Ｐ．,其中发现有午城动物群、公王岭动物群、阳郭动物群、陈家窝动物群与靖远动物群。三门组记录了Ｍａｔｕｙａｍａ负极性带下段,年龄约１．２０—２．５０Ｍａ,其中发现有三门动物群。静乐剖面的静乐红土对应于Ｇａｕｓｓ正极性带上段,年龄约２．５０—３．００Ｍａ,其中发现有静乐贺丰动物群。游河组记录了Ｇａｕｓｓ正极性带,年龄约２．５０—３．４０Ｍａ,其中发现游河动物群。泥河湾沉积对应于Ｂｒｕｎｈｅｓ正极性带、Ｍａｔｕｙａｍａ负极性带、Ｇａｕｓｓ正极性带,年龄约０．１３—３．４０Ｍａ。其中小长梁剖面记录了Ｂｒｕｎｈｅｓ正极性带与Ｍａｔｕｙａｍａ负极性带上段（含Ｊａｒａｍｉｌｏ亚带）,年龄约０．１３—１．００Ｍａ（其中含化石及石器地层年龄约０．９０—１．００Ｍａ）。榆社盆地麻则沟组记录了Ｇａｕｓｓ正极性带（２．５０—３．４０Ｍａ）,高庄组记录了Ｇｉｌｂｅｒｔ负极性带（３．４０—５．３０Ｍａ）。     

甘肃龙担早第四纪黄土堆积古地磁年代研究

临夏盆地位于青藏高原东北边缘,是青藏高原与黄土高原衔接带上的一个晚新生代断陷盆地。龙担剖面地处临夏盆地的中央部分,产有大量哺乳动物化石,从化石证据中得出与早更新世午城黄土同时期的黄土沉积,但是岩性看起来又与中国东部黄土高原上典型的午城黄土有差别。本文基于龙担剖面中黄土-古土壤序列的古地磁研究、粒度以及磁化率分析,主要对正极性N3的极性归属问题进行阐述,N3对应于Matuyama极性时中下部的Olduvai极性亚时期,建立了该剖面的年代地层序列。龙担动物群的上化石层位于Olduvai极性亚时内部,时代为1.77～1.95Ma,从而得出龙担动物群的上化石层年龄为1.9Ma,下化石层位于Reunion极性亚时之下,时代为2.25Ma。     

Maeotian mammalian localities of Eastern Paratethys: Magnetochronology and position in European continental scales

The Maeotian of Eastern Paratethys corresponds to the interval of the magnetochronological scale from the base of the subchron C4Ar2n to upper parts of the Chron C4n (9.6–7.5 Ma). Fission-track dates of Maeotian deposits are in general agreement with paleomagnetic chronology. In the continental stratigraphic scale of Western Europe this interval corresponds to zones MN10 (save the lowermost parts), MN11, and MN12 (upper part). Taking into account age estimates of MN zones boundaries established in Western Europe, the East European mammalian localities of Ukraine and Moldova can be stratified as follows: MN10, Raspopeni, Grebeniki, Novaya Emetovka 1, ?lower bed of Ciobruci; MN11, Novaya Emetovka 2; MN12, Cimislia, Ciobruci upper bed, Cherevichnoe, Tudorovo, Dzedzvtakhevi, and sites in the lower Pontian deposits. The faunal criteria used to distinguish MN zones in Western Europe cannot be completely applied to sites of the Eastern Paratethys because of paleozoogeographic distinctions between West and East European provinces. Specific criteria of zone boundaries definitions should be developed for the East European province.     

Character, Age and Ecology of the Hezheng Biota from Northwestern China

1 Introduction In recent years, field works in the Hezheng area resulted in an explosive growth of new knowledge of Chinese mammalian faunas of the Late Cenozoic. A continuous sedimentary sequence from the Oligocene to the Pleistocene is developed and exposed in the Linxia Basin, Gansu Province, which contains a large number of mammal fossils. The Hezheng area comprises almost the whole Hezheng County, the western half of Guanghe County, the southern half of Dongxiang County, Linxia C…     

周口店地区第四纪哺乳动物群的演化与环境变迁探讨

Integrated Upper Carnian to Lower Norian biochronology and implications for the Upper Triassic magnetic polarity time scale

We summarize the ammonoid, conodont and halobiid biochronology of the Upper Carnian to Lower Norian, based on a discussion of data in the Alps, Sicily, Balkans, Turkey, Himalayas and Timor. With this integrated biostratigraphic scale, the Pizzo Mondello section (Sicily) can be recalibrated and the Carnian-Norian boundary more precisely located there. As a result, the magnetostratigraphy of this section is now in good agreement with previous results from Turkey, although the latter series are more condensed. Cross-correlation of available magnetostratigraphic data from marine Tethyan sections allow us to construct a composite Upper Carnian to Upper Norian geomagnetic polarity time scale (GPTS). This GPTS leads us to question previously proposed magnetobiostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic correlations within the Upper Triassic Newark non-marine sedimentary sequence.     

Paleoenvironments indicated by the fossil mammalian assemblages from red clay-loess sequence in the Chinese Loess Plateau since 8.0 Ma B.P.

1 Introduction and methods Many geoscientists have agreed[1-29] that the wind blown dusty sediments appeared in China since about 8.0 Ma B.P. The eolian earthy deposits are the red clays of the middle-late of the Late Miocene and those of Pliocene as well as the loess-paleosol sequence of the Pleistocene and Holocene. These eolian earthydeposits are distributed chiefly in northwestern China, mostly corresponding in area to the modern Loess Plateau. The Neogene red clay was deposited unco…     

中国中、东部晚第三纪生物地层及古哺乳动物研究的新进展

本文是近年对中国中、东部晚第三纪生物地层及哺乳动物化石研究成果的综述。在河北泥河湾地区,根据小哺乳动物化石新建立了稻地组。其下是含哺乳动物化石的蔚县组(早上新世)及壶流河组(最晚中新世)。宁夏同心地区晚第三纪生物地层可划分为两部分:上部可能属上新统;下部属中中新统上部。二者皆含哺乳动物化石。在甘肃广河地区发现的小哺乳动物化石证明,车头沟组及咸水河组分别属于早中中新世及晚中中新世。在湖北钟祥地区,根据采集的哺乳动物化石,将罗汉寺组划归中新世。 根据上面4个地区哺乳动物群的研究和对比,广河车头沟组最老,其它依次是广河咸水河组、泥河湾壶流河组、蔚县组及稻地组。钟祥罗汉寺组可能相当于车头沟组或者时代稍早。同心下部地层的时代可能与咸水河组相同。
