Structures caused by repeated freezing and thawing in various loamy sediments: A comparison of active,fossil and experimental data

In this paper, the authors present the results of both macroscopic and microscopic investigations on structure development created by repeated ice lensing in various loamy experiments. Experimental data are compared with observations performed on active forms in High Arctic and Alpine Mountain environments. Those observations are also compared with phenomena observed in fossil periglacial formations of Western Europe. Platy and short prismatic structure formation is bonded to the hydraulic and thermal conditions during ice segregation. When a long series of alternating freezing and thawing affects platy structures, the fabric evolves, also being influenced by slope and drainage conditions: cryoturbations, frostcreep, and gelifluction can appear. They are characterized by specific microfabrics which are better developed with an increasing number of cycles: this is clear in experiments where hydraulic and thermal parameters are better controlled. Vesicles are also a prominent characteristic of the surface horizon in experiments and arctic soils. The genesis of vesicles is discussed on the basis of new observations and is related to the mechanical collapse of frost-created aggregates under the mechanical work of soil air escape during soil saturation by water at thaw.     

南山坪古油藏的形成及其破坏因素分析

南山坪古油藏以南山坪背斜(圈闭)为依托，油藏的形成、破坏与背斜(圈闭)的形成及演化息息相关。加里东晚期-海西早期的构造运动形成了南山坪背斜的雏形，与之对应的是最初的油藏形成；南山坪背斜在印支运动得到加强，形成构造圈闭，与之对应的是原油藏裂解生气及烃源岩进入生气阶段，形成气藏及部分沥青。之后的燕山运动Ⅱ幕使得南山坪背斜(圈闭)被褶皱和断层复杂化，形成由东南向北西的逆冲断裂，其上覆盖层抬升、剥蚀，原油藏彻底破坏，成为古油藏。分析认为，南山坪古油藏的破坏因素主要是印支期的热裂解和燕山运动Ⅱ幕的构造抬升、剥蚀，且后者更为主导因素。比较南山坪古油藏、余杭泰山古油藏及威远气藏，力图寻找其共性及差异性，从而为中国南方的油气勘探提供借鉴意义。     

Seismic anisotropy beneath Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, revealed by shear wave splitting

Shear wave splitting analyses have been carried out using teleseismic data from broad-band seismograph stations deployed at temporary and permanent locations in Dronning Maud Land (DML), Antarctica. In most cases, the observed anisotropy can be related to major tectonic events that formed the present-day Antarctic continent. We rule out an anisotropic contribution from recent asthenospheric flow. At the Russian base Novolazarevskaya near the coast in central DML, waveform inversion suggests a two-layer model where the fast direction of the upper layer is oriented parallel to Archean fabrics in the lithosphere, whereas the anisotropy of the lower layer is interpreted to have been created during the Jurassic Gondwana break-up. Recordings at the South African base Sanae IV, however, show enigmatic results. For narrow backazimuthal segments, splitting parameters show strong variations together with a multitude of isotropic measurements, indicative of complex scattering that cannot be explained by simple one- or two-layer anisotropic models. In the interior of the continent, the data are consistent with single-layer anisotropy, but show significant spatial variations in splitting parameters. A set of temporary stations across the Heimefront shear zone in western DML yield splitting directions that we interpret as frozen anisotropy from Proterozoic assembly of the craton. An abrupt change in fast axis direction appears to mark a suture between the Grunehogna craton, a fragment of the Kalahari–Kaapvaal craton in southern Africa and the Mesoproterozoic Maudheim Province.     

藏南岗巴—定日地区始新世化石碳酸盐岩微相与沉积环境

藏南岗巴-定日地区发育着西藏最晚期的海相沉积，对这套海相沉积的研究，可提供关于西藏特提斯演化晚期的良好信息，本文对岗巴-定日地区始新世遮普惹组的化石碳酸盐岩微相进行了较为详细的分析和研究。参考Wilson(1975)的标准微相，初步识别出10种微相和5种生物相类型。同时对遮普惹组中的砾状灰岩的成因机制作了有益的探讨，它完全是由沉积作用而成；胶结物不是源于物质的重新分配，而是台地边缘斜坡的等深流沉积。以此为基础，对西藏特提斯晚期沉积环境的演变进行了较为详细的分析。笔者认为：岗巴-定日盆地在始新世Ypresian-Lutetian早期接受海侵；自Lutetian晚期开始，区内总体处于一种海退环境，但由于受板块碰撞作用的影响，岗巴地区在Lutetian晚期-Bartonian晚期成为-深水坳陷盆地；至Priabonian早期，海水完全退出本区。

Gyrolithes:边缘海沉积的特征遗迹化石

Gyrolithes为螺旋形垂直居住潜穴,是具成对附肢的两侧对称甲壳类所建造,出现在近海泻湖和河口湾等边缘海和极浅海环境中,常与半咸水条件有关。塔里木盆地塔中地区诸多钻井的下志留统塔塔埃尔塔格组上部大量发育有此类潜穴,在局部层位可形成强烈的扰动构造。伴生的遗迹化石很少,只有极个别的Beaconites。根据沉积学、地球化学和古生态学特征,这类潜穴形成在半咸水的泻湖环境中。这类潜穴外壁基本平直,在泥质沉积物中掘穴深度大而不变形,而且其充填物与围岩完全不同,这些特点表明Gyrolithes为固底控制的遗迹化石。     

下庄铀成矿古水热系统排泄区（减压区）铀成矿作用研究

形成于古水热系统排泄区（减压区）的下庄花岗岩型铀矿床是地下热水与岩石相互作用的产物。矿物流体包裹体水文地球化学分析表明，成矿期铀成矿古热水溶液气体成分主要为CO2，水化学类型为HCO3－Ca.Na型，F－Ca型和HCO3.F－K型。地球化学模式和热力学计算证明，热水溶液中铀的存在形式为UO2（CO3）2^2-,UO2F3^-和UO2F4^2-。热水溶液深循环过程中CO2的加入可使溶液铀沉淀临界电位值（EhC,U)明显降低，从而保持水－铀比电位值（ΔEhW,U)为正值（ΔEhW,U=EhW-EhC,U)使铀在深部相对还原的条件下仍能稳定迁移。当富铀成矿热液进入减压排泄区时，由于溶液物理－化学条件的改变，发生CO2脱气作用和中和还原作用，导致ΔEhW,U小于零，使铀沉淀、富集，最终形成花岗岩型铀矿床。

新疆早寒武世玉尔吐斯小壳动物群再研究

新疆乌什—阿克苏地区下寒武统玉尔吐斯组的小壳化石丰富,已描述了近50属90种,包括1个新属,15个新种。计有软舌螺类、似软舌螺类、单板类、腹足类、骨针类及分类位置未定的化石,还有节肢动物门的高肌虫类。按小壳化石在地层纵向出现的次序及其代表性,可将玉尔吐斯组小壳动物群的比石划分为3个带,即1.Anabarites trisulcatus带;2.Cambroclavus-Aurisella带;3.Adyshevitheca-Xinjiangella带。其中1带可与梅树村阶I.Anabarites-Protohertzina带对比;2—3带大致可与梅树村阶Ⅱ.Paragloborilus-Siphogonuchites带—Ⅲ.Sinosachites-Lapworthella带对比。因Aanbarites trisulcatus的发现,证实玉尔吐斯组的下界可与梅树阶的底界对比;玉尔吐斯组顶部发现的高肌虫有别于筇竹寺阶的高肌虫。前者与大量梅树村期小壳动物共生,可以认为梅树村期已经出现高肌虫的先遣分子。
