卡姆斯特煤田侏罗系八道湾组地层层序及聚煤特征

综合利用卡姆斯特煤田钻孔测井、野外露头及古生物化石等资料,应用经典层序地层学基本理论和方法,对卡姆斯特煤田八道湾组进行了层序地层划分,共识别出SQ1和SQ2两个三级层序,并根据地层叠置样式、沉积旋回特征细分为6个体系域。通过沉积基础图件、沉积环境的分析明确了研究区八道湾组沉积演化主要受古地形起伏、古气候条件等古地理因素的综合影响。确定研究区内目的层段主要在高位和低位时期聚煤,湖侵时期不利于聚煤。通过详细研究卡姆斯特煤田八道湾组的沉积环境和聚煤特征,为今后寻找和开发卡姆斯特地区煤炭资源提供地质依据。     

胜坨地区沙四上亚段物源体系分析

物源问题的研究对于了解和确定研究区有利沉积相带及储集砂体的分布、寻找有利油气储集层具有重要意义。胜坨地区沙四上勘探程度相对较低,前人关于目的层段的物源体系的研究成果很少。为了进一步查清研究区沙四上沉积时期砂体成因和物源方向,更好地预测砂体的分布,本文综合运用地震、测井、地球化学等资料,采用古地貌分析法、沉积砂体岩屑类型对比法、砂岩百分含量法和沉积物特征元素等方法探讨了胜坨地区沙四上亚段砂体的物源方向,并结合特征元素物源指数判别公式对沙四上亚段物源体系实现了定量评价。综合分析认为研究区沙四上亚段具有多物源体系特征,除了直接来自于胜北断层和坨94断层上升盘的物源外,还有沿着胜北断层与坨94断层转换带处的物源体系。     

川北阆中—南部地区长兴组储层特征

四川盆地北部阆中—南部(地名)区块处于川中隆起与川北坳陷的斜坡部位,具有优越的成藏条件。运用钻井岩心观察、岩屑描述、铸体薄片观察、压汞分析、地球物理资料解释等分析手段,对研究区长兴组储层特征进行了研究。结果表明,储层发育有利的沉积相带为开阔台地相台内滩亚相及台缘礁滩沉积,储层岩石类型以生物灰岩、砂屑灰岩、泥晶灰岩为主;储层的储集空间类型多样,孔、洞、缝均有,粒间孔、体腔孔为研究区储层主要的孔隙类型;喉道普遍狭窄,喉道类型主要是微喉,少量细喉;平均孔隙度为1.16%,平均渗透率为0.5415×10-3μm2,属特低孔特低渗致密储层;长兴组储层呈现低频、弱振幅、杂乱反射的地震响应特征,测井信息反映含气储层具有两低一高的特征。     

山西榆社盆地新近系马会组砾岩层砾组特征及其地质意义

通过对山西榆社盆地新近系中新统马会组砾岩层的分布特征、剖面特征和砾组特征分析,结合盆地内部和四周山区的岩性特征分析,阐述了砾岩层本身的性质、成因、来源和搬运方式等,探讨砾石沉积时盆地的水动力条件、气候环境、地貌特征和构造条件等。研究表明,马会组砾岩层为榆社盆地新近纪河湖相沉积的底砾岩,其中所含的3层砾岩在成因、来源、搬运和沉积环境上具有较好的一致性。马会组砾岩层为多期次、多来源、非稳定的冲湖积成因,为湖泊水进期的沉积物,指示干冷向温湿转变的气候环境;砾石的主要来源是盆地内部的基底地层及其东缘、北缘和西缘的山区;砾石遭受了较强的物理化学作用,还存在一定的生物作用;含量较少的花岗岩砾石经受了较长距离的搬运,其他岩性砾石经受了近—中距离的搬运。榆社盆地为喜马拉雅运动二幕晋东地区山地相对抬升形成的山间盆地,砾石沉积时已形成了中间低、四周高的盆地雏形。     

Two New Fossil Lacewing Species from the Middle Jurassic of Inner Mongolia, China (Neuroptera: Grammolingiidae)

Two new species of lacewings are described and illustrated from the Jiulongshan Formation (Middle Jurassic) of Inner Mongolia, China: Leptolingia calonervis sp. nov. and Litholingia ptesa sp. nov. (Grammolingiidae). The species can be distinguished by the following features: the outermost branch of MP2 on the hind wing did not reach the margin of wing in Leptolingia calonervis sp. nov.; the second branch of Rs forked deeply while other branches of Rs forked much later in Litholingia ptesa sp. nov..     

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.

The middle Cretaceous Kazhdumi Formation,with a thickness of 222 m,belongs to the Bangestan Group and occurs in the Zagros folded zone in southwest Iran.The lower boundary with the Dariyan Formation is disconformable,which is recognized by iron oxides and glauconite.The recognized microfossils are Valvulammina sp.,Scandonea sp.,Daxia cenomana,Choffatela sp., Pseudolituonella reicheli and calcareous algae-Lithocodium aggregation(which belongs to the Sarvak Formation),representing the beginning of Cenomani...     

New Fossil Xyelidae (Insecta, Hymenoptera) from the Yixian Formation of Western Liaoning, China

In this paper one new genus and two new species, Brachyoxyela brevinodia sp. nov. and Brachyoxyela gracilenta sp. nov., in the subfamily Macroxyelinae of the family Xyelidae, are described and illustrated. The specimens were collected from the Yixian Formation, the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous, of Beipiao City, Liaoning Province, northeastern China. The new genus is established based on the characters that vein Sc meets R only beyond origin of Rs, third antennal segment is almost equal in length to the rest flagellomeres combined, terminal flagellomeres increasingly shortened toward apex, and vein 2r-rs inclined toward the apex of wing.     

Associated terrestrial and marine fossils in the late-glacial Presumpscot Formation, southern Maine, USA, and the marine reservoir effect on radiocarbon ages

Excavations in the late-glacial Presumpscot Formation at Portland, Maine, uncovered tree remains and other terrestrial organics associated with marine invertebrate shells in a landslide deposit. Buds of Populus balsamifera (balsam poplar) occurred with twigs of Picea glauca (white spruce) in the Presumpscot clay. Tree rings in Picea logs indicate that the trees all died during winter dormancy in the same year. Ring widths show patterns of variation indicating responses to environmental changes. Fossil mosses and insects represent a variety of species and wet to dry microsites. The late-glacial environment at the site was similar to that of today's Maine coast. Radiocarbon ages of 14 tree samples are 11,907 ± 31 to 11,650 ± 50 ¹⁴C yr BP. Wiggle matching of dated tree-ring segments to radiocarbon calibration data sets dates the landslide occurrence at ca. 13,520 + 95/−20 cal yr BP. Ages of shells juxtaposed with the logs are 12,850 ± 65 ¹⁴C yr BP (Mytilus edulis) and 12,800 ± 55 ¹⁴C yr BP (Balanus sp.), indicating a marine reservoir age of about 1000 yr. Using this value to correct previously published radiocarbon ages reduces the discrepancy between the Maine deglaciation chronology and the varve-based chronology elsewhere in New England.
