川西金沙江一带志留—泥盆纪然西组的建立

川西金沙江一带的志留－泥盆纪地层，前人没有建立岩石地层单位。笔者通过地层清理，发现该套地层层序及与上覆地层接触关系清楚，岩性特征明显，且含一定生物化石，具备建立岩石地层单位条件。根据前人所测白玉县山岩乡然西剖面，将上述地层正式建组－然西组。本文对然西组层型剖面进行了描述。     

Devonian to Triassic Successions of the Changning-Menglian Belt, Western Yunnan, China

Phanerozoic strata are distributed in several north-south trending zones in the central part of the Changning-Menglian Belt. Four types of Devonian to Triassic stratigraphic successions can be identified: (1) elastics with limestone lenses in the mid-section, changing up-section into alternations of fine elastics and cherts; (2) elastics with chert intercalations and limestone lenses, and topped by Permian basic volcanics; (3) elastics-basic volcanics-carbonates-clastics; and (4) limestones, dolomitic limestones-dark gray thin-bedded limestones, argillaceous limestones, mudstones and siliceous mudstones. Devonian to Triassic cherts occur in different horizons and different zones from east to west. These cherts are usually transitional to their neighboring elastics. There is no continuous Devonian to Middle Triassic chert sequence in the central zone of the Changning-Menglian Belt as Liu et al. (1991,1993) reported. Volcanics and the overlying carbonates described by some workers as "seamount" sequences     

北祁连造山带晚奥陶世-泥盆纪构造演化: 碎屑锆石年代学证据

北祁连造山带晚奥陶世-泥盆纪处于同造山的构造背景.上奥陶统-泥盆系沿造山带不对称分布.上奥陶统-泥盆系碎屑锆石年代学特征显示, 造山带东段武威一带上奥陶统底部沉积物主要来自北祁连岛弧, 南部中祁连地块和北部华北板块的沉积物在上奥陶统上部才出现, 根据同沉积锆石年龄将中祁连地块和华北板块在东段初始碰撞的时间限定在470~450 Ma之间; 中祁连地块和华北板块的物质在造山带西段肃南一带被保存在下志留统, 地层中也有大量来自早古生代北祁连岛弧和同碰撞花岗岩的物质, 暗示造山带西段的碰撞时间在早志留世.而造山带东段下志留统中却仅有来自中祁连地块和华北板块的物质, 缺乏代表北祁连岛弧的早古生代碎屑锆石年龄, 对比上奥陶统-下志留统岩相分布和碎屑锆石年代学特征, 北祁连造山带的碰撞具有"东早西晚"的"斜向碰撞、不规则边缘碰撞"的特征, 而这种碰撞方式导致中祁连地块在造山带东段仰冲到北祁连岛弧之上, 阻止北祁连岛弧为盆地提供沉积物; 泥盆纪早期, 北祁连岛弧年龄在东段下、中泥盆统中重新出现, 结合志留系和泥盆系在造山带东、西两段的分布和变形特征推断, 泥盆纪早期北祁连造山带具有"东强西弱"的不均一隆升特征, 这种差异隆升特征是由"东早西晚"的"斜向碰撞、不规则边缘碰撞"引起的, 它导致了北祁连岛弧在造山带东段被重新剥露出地表, 同时来自早期中、上志留统以及同碰撞花岗岩的物质也被汇入盆地.河西走廊盆地性质经历了弧后盆地-弧后残留洋盆-前陆盆地的转换过程.      

四川龙门山泥盆纪层孔虫的地层分布

<正> 层孔虫在我国泥盆纪地层中广泛分布,由于沉积环境变化和岩相差异,层孔虫在各地的产出情况变化很大。广西中、东部的层孔虫主要产自中泥盆统,上泥盆统仅有很少的分子;湖南中部除中泥盆统有一部分层孔虫外,上泥盆统是主要赋存层位;贵州南部和云南东部下泥盆统很少见层孔虫,中泥盆统属种数量丰富,上泥盆统产出情况因地而异,分布极不均匀。纵观泥盆纪层孔虫的分布特征,没有发现在一个剖面上上、中、下泥盆统都含丰富的层孔虫。在四川龙门山地区,自桂溪组至沙窝子组整个泥盆纪地层中都发现层孔     

滇东南地区泥盆纪层序地层格架及海平面变化

根据精细岩相分析，在滇东南泥盆纪台地及台地边缘沉积区识别出9个三级层序，而在深水盆地沉积区仅能识别出3个三级层序。结合海平面波动及构造作用分析，认为在台地或台地边缘沉积区，能划分出的层序在盆地中难以一一对应的原因是：掀斜拉伸作用导致下沉一侧的沉降速度总大于海平面的下降及沉积速率，而保持盆地深水沉积体系的沉积特点或海侵沉积特点，或是以饥饿性盆地性质出现，以致形成的沉积层序相对较少。三级及三级以上(高频沉积层序)沉积层序的形成主要受区域构造作用影响，因构造活动强度的差异而难以进行大区域对比，同一层序界面在不同地区表现出不同的性质。     

A New Lycopsid, Zhenglia radiata gen. et sp. nov., from the Lower Devonian Posongchong Formation of Southeastern Yunnan, China, and Its Evolutionary Significance

A new plant, Zhenglia radiata gen. et sp. nov., from the Posongchong Formation （Early Devonian, Pragian age） of the Wenshan District of southeastern Yunnan Province, China is a small herbaceous lycopsid. The aerial branches divide into foliar and fertile stems. The arrangement of the leaf bases on the stem shows lepidodendroid-like phyllotaxy. Possibly the leaf base bears a ligulate pit. The microphyll consists of a swollen, decurrent base, and an entire, linear lamina. The fertile axis is composed of sporophylls arranged helically, forming a compact area similar to cone-like structure. Each sporophyll consists of a widened lateral extension and a distal lamina. The ovoid-elongate sporangia are attached adaxially on the surface of sporophylls. Based on morphological similarities, especially the undivided microphylls, the style of phyllotaxy, the form of the cone-like structures and sporangia, the new lycopsid Zhenglia radiata is placed in the order Protolepidodendrales and a possible evolutionary relationship with the arborescent lycopsids of the Late Devonian and Carboniferous is considered.
