Differential diatom dissolution in Late Quaternary sediments from Lake Manyara,Tanzania: an experimental approach

Diatom dissolution in saline lakes represents an important obstacle to the quantitative reconstruction of water chemistry and climate from lake sediment archives. This problem is here approached experimentally by artificially dissolving diatom-bearing core sediment from Lake Manyara, Tanzania. Manyara holds one of the longest continuous palaeolimnological records from tropical Africa although its interpretation is based on a fragmentary diatom record due to frustule dissolution. These experiments have revealed clear changes in assemblage composition as dissolution operated differentially with respect to diatom taxa. Differential dissolution has considerable impact on the water chemistry estimates derived from transfer functions. Taphonomy, rather than environmental change, may have been responsible for minor fluctuations in the diatom assemblages from Manyara, although major palaeohydrological changes during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene can be identified. Particularly well represented by MANE-87 is a period of intermediate lake level between 27 500 and 23 000 ¹⁴C yr BP which has regional palaeohydrological significance.     

初论塔里木盆地砂岩储层中SiO2的溶蚀类型及其机理

根据显微镜观察,塔里木盆地砂岩储层中SiO₂溶蚀分为石英颗粒边缘溶蚀、次生加大边溶蚀和交代溶蚀。通过对石英颗粒和加大边溶蚀特征及其与粘土矿物组合、与碳酸盐胶结、与古油藏破坏以及现今油田水中Si离子含量等关系的综合研究,这些SiO₂溶蚀可能存在两种机理:碱性环境下的SiO₂溶蚀和有机酸(烃类微生物降解产生的有机酸以及有机质成熟产生的有机酸)引起的SiO₂溶蚀。第一种溶蚀类型较普遍,但程度微弱;第二种溶蚀类型主要发生在古油藏破坏和有机质成熟过程中,这种溶蚀较强烈但很局限。SiO₂的溶蚀作用可以为油气提供一定量的储集空间,这对于深埋的时代较老的志留-泥盆系储层具有重要意义。在古油藏中尽管烃类已经充注储层孔隙,但只要孔隙中存在有机酸或碱性孔隙水,SiO₂的溶蚀和石英次生加大的胶结等作用仍可进行。     

邻二氮菲分光光度法测定碳酸盐相中微量亚铁

建立了在超声波作用下，HAc—NaAc缓冲溶液和邻二氮菲选择性溶解分光光度法直接测定碳酸盐相中微量亚铁的方法。结果表明，在适宜条件下，含2g／L邻二氮菲的HAc—NaAc缓冲溶液（pH3）可选择性溶解并络合碳酸盐相中的Fe（Ⅱ），通过加入EDTA溶液有效地抑制了Fe（Ⅲ）的光还原作用。常见含铁矿物如赤铁矿、磁铁矿及硅酸盐等均对碳酸盐中Fe（Ⅱ）的测定无干扰。样品经30％的H2O2浸泡、过滤、晾干预处理，能有效地消除黄铁矿和有机物的干扰。方法用于石灰岩国家一级标准物质的测定，结果与标准值相符。

Prediction of limestone solution rates from rainfall and runoff data: Some comments

Recent work by Láng (1977) on solutional erosion rates in limestone drainage basins in relation to rainfall contains serious errors and has a questionable logical basis. Although much sounder, Smith and Atkinson's (1976) work on erosion rates in relation to runoff also requires modification as it greatly overestimates erosion rates in two areas of New Zealand. Greater resolution could probably be obtained by relating autogenic runoff to the rate of solution by autogenic waters and by computing separate relationships for areas where solution takes place under open and closed system equilibrium conditions. These factors should be taken into account in the experimental design of future studies.     

Micro-zircon: origin and evolution during metamorphism

The size and distribution of zircon within a garnet-mica-schist from the Scottish Highlands were assessed using scanning electron microscopy. The study reveals that abundant 0.2–3.0 μm sized zircon is preferentially concentrated within garnet and biotite porphyroblasts. The micro-zircon has grown during regional metamorphism and represents >90% of the total number of zircon in the schist. It is texturally distinct from a few larger detrital zircon grains in the schist that commonly preserve evidence of dissolution, and more rarely, small metamorphic outgrowths. The sequential incorporation of zircon in porphyroblasts allows prograde changes in the morphology of the zircon population to be identified. Zircon is reactive and soluble, and responds to medium-grade metamorphism in a series of dissolution and crystallization events, linked to possible changes in fluid composition. Deformation also has a significant influence on the distribution of zircon, allowing inclusions previously trapped within biotite to react. About 8 × 10⁶ micro-zircon occur as inclusions within a typical individual 5-mm garnet porphyroblast and their presence must be considered prior to trace-element or isotopic analysis of such metamorphic phases.     

高密度电法在某公路路基下隐伏岩溶探测中的应用

灰岩分布区易发生岩溶塌陷等地质灾害,高密度电阻率法是岩溶地质调查的重要手段。以某一段穿越岩溶发育区的公路为例,应用高密度电法对区内暗河、槽谷型岩溶塘、落水洞等灾害地质体进行了探测,结果显示拟建路段覆盖层厚度大约为2~20 m,基岩内岩溶极发育,岩石地表起伏大,溶沟、溶槽、岩溶塌陷、落水洞发育;岩石中溶蚀裂隙、溶洞发育。表明高密度电阻率法能够有效地判定岩溶的发育情况,可以为地质灾害评估提供科学客观的依据。     

随机介质模型的一种构造方法

为更好地描述真实的地下介质特点,提出了一种局部随机位置或固定位置任意形状截取法并结合多尺度建模技术来共同构造随机介质模型的新方法。从现有的随机建模理论出发,在有效的建模区域内产生或者给定局部扰动位置,以此作为局部扰动分布区的中心点,引入局部扰动半径R和局部随机或给定扰动角度θ两个模型特征量,采用局部位置任意形状截取法并充填各种随机介质,从而构造各种不同的随机介质模型。给出了局部位置任意形状截取法的基本步骤和应用实例。     

中国西部地区方沸石胶结相与碎屑岩次生优质储集层形成机制

含油气盆地碎屑岩次生优质储集层的发育,除了与广泛发育的方解石胶结相有关外,在中国西部还有一类与沸石族自生矿物胶结的成岩相有关,其中以溶蚀方沸石胶结相形成的次生优质储集层与油气聚集成藏又有十分密切的关联。经实例分析:与自生方沸石胶结有关的成岩相主要受控于扇(辫状河)三角洲前缘相带、火山岩物源和成岩早期的碱性环境;次生优质储集层的形成在时间上主要处于成岩中期A阶段,在空间上受控于邻近的烃源岩、圈闭和输导体的沟通。方沸石矿物在物理性质上具有抗压易溶(有机酸)作用,较其他常见的自生矿物(胶结物)相对优越,就方沸石易于溶蚀的特点而言是较为理想的自生矿物(胶结物)。其溶蚀对孔隙度的贡献率在50％～75％之间,发育几率占绝对优势。所以,在方沸石发育的相带中寻找以粒间溶蚀孔为主的优质储集层,具有可靠的操作性和现实性。     

Sulfide‐bearing palaeokarst deposits at Lune River Quarry,Ida Bay,Tasmania

The Lune River Quarry at Ida Bay, Tasmania exposes numerous palaeokarst features developed in the Ordovician Gordon Limestone. These palaeokarst features contain carbonate and siliciclastic deposits probably representing Late Devonian to early Late Carboniferous and Late Carboniferous karstification and sedimentation. Five facies of palaeokarst deposits are recognised, namely megabreccia, graded‐bedded carbonate, laminated sandstone/siltstone, diamictite/quartz‐lithic sandstone and coarse crystalline calcite. Pyrite, dolomite and sphalerite were emplaced in the palaeokarst deposits after the Carboniferous. These deposits are probably associated with a phase of hydrothermal cave development in Exit Cave, which adjoins the quarry. Pyrite weathering accounts for the abundance of gypsum speleothems and cave breakdown in Exit Cave.
