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.

CSAO和VS NIIFITRI等高仪国际合作观测精度的初步分析

初步分析了ＰＨＡ Ｉ在伊尔库茨克近１４个月中观测的８２２组星的精度。ＰＨＡ Ｉ创造了它历史上最多的观测星组数和最高的观测精度。１９９６年在俄罗斯地球自转参数系统中获取１５％的权重，约为该系统平均仪器权重的３倍多。     

地层倾角测井矢量图模式识别与构造解释系统

本文介绍了地层倾角测井矢量图模式识别与地质构造解释系统的设计原理和基本方法。文中利用Ｆｉｓｈｅｒ方法划分构造段，利用极差分层和归并，通过模糊数学的方法进行模式识别，通过井钻的模式识别结果给出井位所在地的地质构造解释。本系统已在ＩＢＭＰＣ／ＸＴ及其兼容机上实现，对胜利油田和中原油田的２３个实际测井数据进行了实验，判别和解释正确率达到９０％。     

广西横县六景泥盆系艾菲尔阶—吉维特阶之交化学地层研究

广西横县六景泥盆系剖面艾菲尔阶—吉维特阶界线（Eifelian—Givetian界线）附近的Polygnathus xylus ensensis 至 下varcus带之间,出现了一系列Ce/La值、Ni/La值和δ13Ccarb值重大组合性异常,分别代表缺氧事件、Ni事件和生物灾变等地质历史事件。紧临艾菲尔阶—吉维特阶界线的生物事件与全球性kaákotomari事件有较好的响应。该地区所处华南地块南侧、古特提斯洋离散边界附近的古陆缘浅海为上述事件的古地理、古大地构造背景。该系列事件的原始诱因为系列构造运动的不同阶段和不同表现方式：断裂和火山热液活动造成Ni事件;挤压变形和抬升运动耦合相对海平面变化造成缺氧事件。Ni事件和缺氧事件均可独立造成生物灾变事件,而前二者的叠加将使生物灾变加剧,因灾变机制的区域性而未造成生物的大规模灭绝。Ni事件是由洋源性构造、热液和火山活动所主导的。
