死海（约旦）里散半岛的重磁勘查

里散半岛位于非洲板块和阿拉伯板块交接处的死海盆地中。该盆地面积大，构造简单且有下沉运动，说明它是一拉张型盆地。由重力异常数据发现死海盆地可划分成沿南北延伸各约３０ｋｍ长的几个块体，里散半岛是其中最深的一个。中生代沉积厚度约６ｋｍ，更新世沉积厚度为９ｋｍ。死海盆地的拉张距离为２０ｋｍ，表明死海盆地的年龄约３．３Ｍａ。里散半岛下部的前寒武纪结晶基底磁化率较高，这与区内延续的构造活动性有关。     

The Geologic Time Scale and the Italian stratigraphic record

The construction of the Geologic Time Scale (GTS) is a titanic scientific challenge that has been under way for two centuries and will require much dedicated effort in the future. Italy preserves a paramount stratigraphic record of Mesozoic and Cenozoic marine sediments that have been significant in the development of the modern GTS. The Italian stratigraphic record has been histori-cally important in introducing and defining the standard Chronostratigraphic Units (CUs) of the Neogene and Quaternary. Pelagic successions from Northern Apen-nines and Southern Alps have been used in the seventies for integrating the late Cretaceous-Paleogene Geomag-netic Polarity Time Scale (GPTS) with planktonic microfossil biostratieraohv and standard CUs. This was a major contribution to the construction of a new gener-ation of GTS based on integrated magnetobiochronol-ogy. The middle Miocene to early Pleistocene marinerecord from Sicily and southern Italy has been funda-mental for establishing the recently developed Astro-nomical Time Scale (ATS). In prospect, there are many potentials still to be exploited in the Italian marine stratigraphic record for implementing the GTS by defin-ing GSSPs of various CUs, improving magneto-biochronology and extending downwards the ATS.     

中央投20亿元启动地质勘查基金——着重用于重点矿种、重点成矿区带的前期勘查

为了加大国家财政对矿产资源勘查投入力度，鼓励和引导社会资金投入，建立矿产资源勘查投入良性循环机制，财政部、国土资源部近日发布《中央地质勘查基金（周转金）管理暂行办法》。这是贯彻落实《国务院关于加强地质工作的决定》的第一个配套文件。     

Sedimentary characteristics of tide-dominated estuary in Donghetang Formation（Upper Devonian）, central Tarim Basin

The Donghetang Formation （Upper Devonian） in central Tarim Basin has been thought an important oil and gas reservoir since the abundant oil and gas resources were found in the wells W16, W20, W34, and other fields. However, the sedimentary environment of the Donghetang Formation has been disputed because it suffered from both tidal and fluvial actions and there were not rich fossils in the sandstone. After the authors analyzed sedimentary features by means of drill cores, well logging data, paleosols, and with SEM obseruations, three kinds of sedimentary environments were distinguished： alluvial fan, tide-dominated estuary, and shelf. Particularly, the sedimentary features of tide-dominated estuary were studied in detail. Besides, the authors discussed sedimentary characteristics of the Donghetang Formation which was divided into two fourth-order sequences and five system tracts. At the same time, according to the forming process of five system tracts, the whole vertical evolution and lateral transition of tide-dominated estuary were illustrated clearly. Finally, the reservoir quality was evaluated based on porosity and permeability.

广西环江县北山铅锌黄铁矿矿床发现史

广西环江北山铅锌矿床是由古人发现的，始于何时尚难断定。其采矿历史较悠久，据文献记载与考证，采铅锌矿炼银始于宋王朝，距今约８００年左右；炼锌始于明王朝，距今约３８０余年，１９７１年广西冶金地质勘探公司二一五队曾在北山一带普查评价褐铁矿，首先提出了该区褐铁矿＂属小型热液多金属铅锌硫化物矿床铁帽＂的概念。经广西地质局第九地质队（现广西第七地质队）１０年（１９７５－１９８６）的勘查，证实为一个以锌为主的大型多金属黄铁矿矿床，探明储量，其中锌、锗、黄铁矿为大型矿床规模，银、镉为中型矿床规模，铅、铁为小型矿床。为此该队荣获地矿部１９８９年度找矿成果二等笑。现今由中国有色金属工业总公司与广西壮族自治区人民政府合资兴建的北山铅锌硫铁矿已初具规模，一座新兴的矿山城镇已耸立在桂北群山之中，它将成为广西有色金属工业重要原料基地之一。
