川西漳腊黄土地层与气候变化

川西高原风成黄土广泛分布,其中漳腊盆地黄土剖面厚约9.5 m。根据磁化率、粒度和地层特征,并通过与金川黄土和甘孜黄土剖面的对比,可将漳腊黄土地层划分为冰后期S0古土壤、末次冰期L1复合黄土、末次间冰期S1复合古土壤、倒数第二冰期L2黄土等4个地层单位,其中L1复合黄土可细分为L1L1、L1S1、L1L2、L1S2和L1...     

中原邙山黄土与末次间冰期以来古季风特征

中原邙山赵下峪剖面出露S10以上黄土地层,厚度大于172.1m。末次间冰期S1古土壤厚15.7m,末次冰期L1黄土厚达77.3m,其中晚冰阶L1LL1黄土、间冰阶L1SS1古土壤和早冰阶L1LL2黄土分别厚41.6m、13.2 m和22.5 m。邙山黄土是厚度最大的晚更新世黄土地层剖面之一,记录了丰富的气候环境变化信息。用SPECMAP氧同位素曲线确定的阶段界限的日历年龄为标定点和磁化率年龄模式,获得相应的时间标尺,据以计算出S2以上各层段的平均沉积速率和分辨率。邙山黄土倒数第二间冰期以来不同冰期或冰阶与间冰期或冰阶的粒度、平均沉积速率和分辨率有很大的差异,其中以末次冰期晚冰阶L1LL1黄土的平均沉积速率为最高,达3.45 mm／a,而末次问冰期S1古土壤的沉积速率亦高达0.28 mm／a。本文主要根据赵下峪剖面的磁化率和>45μm粗颗粒含量变化曲线,并与格陵兰GRIP冰心和深海SPECMAP氧同位素曲线对比,讨论末次间冰期以来古季风特征及其相互关系。     

川西高原甘孜黄土地层学

本文初步研究了甘孜黄土地层，实测了甘孜县城西南郊新市区和满地两剖面，它们分别厚２３．７ｍ和２６．０ｍ。根据岩性、磁性地层特征、磁化率、ＣａＣＯ３质量分数测定和热释光测年结果，甘孜黄土可划分为冰后期Ｓ０复合古土壤，末次冰期Ｌ１复合黄土和末次间冰期Ｓ１复合古土壤等３个地层单位。布莱克反向极性亚时记录于底部Ｓ１ＬＬ１黄土中。甘孜黄土沉积始于晚更新世早期，大约为１２０ｋａＢＰ。甘孜黄土的磁化率变化反映了最近１２０ｋａ来的高原季风演化和气候环境变迁，６个磁化率高值段指示了６个夏季风环流增强的时段，６个磁化率低值段则     

中原邙山黄土地层

位于黄土高原与华北平原过渡带上的中原黄土地层,以邙山赵下峪剖面为其典型代表。据光释光和热释光测年及磁性地层研究结果,该剖面从邙山塬面至黄河河床出露S₀-S₁₀黄土-古土壤序列,总厚度172.1m,B/M界线记录于S₈古土壤层顶部,以厚层晚更新世S₁古土壤(15.7m)和巨厚L₁黄土(77.3m)为其特色。赵下峪剖面上末次间冰期以来的平均沉积速率明显增大,其中以末次冰期晚冰阶L₁LL₁黄土的沉积速率最大,高达34.5mm/a。在邙山黄土堆积过程中,倒数第二冰期末(相当于L₂顶部),约150ka B P,发生了风尘沉积速率的突变,其原因是此时黄河贯通三门峡东流,给风尘源区带来丰富的物质。同时赵下峪剖面的磁化率曲线所示,黄土-古土壤的磁化率强弱,并不简单地反映夏季风强度,也要受到沉积速率变化的影响。      

河南邙山晚更新世黄土的环境记录

数十年来,黄土高原的古环境研究受到了高度重视并取得重大进展,但对其东南部的研究却相对较薄弱。位于黄土高原东南边缘的邙山塬因受气候、构造等营力的交互作用而发育巨厚的黄土地层,记录了东亚古环境演变的详细信息。笔者近年来对邙山黄土地层进行了深入研究,以黄土高原经典的洛川剖面为参照,对位于河南省荥阳市北邙乡刘沟村的赵下峪剖面进行了详细划分。邙山黄土S10以上黄土-古土壤序列,总厚度达172.1m,其中末次间冰期S1古土壤厚15.7m,末次冰期L1黄土厚77.3m,是由早冰阶L1LL1黄土、间冰阶L1SS1古土壤和晚冰阶L1LL2黄土组成的复合黄土     

中国黄土颜色变化的控制因素和古气候意义

选择位于黄土高原东南缘的渭南剖面和中部的西峰剖面末次间冰期以来的黄土-古土壤序列,研究了黄土颜色（亮度和红度）变化的时空特征及其主要控制因素。结果表明,黄土的亮度变化主要与铁氧化物、有机质、碳酸盐的含量有关,三者的影响依次减弱,而红度变化则主要受控于铁氧化物的种类和含量。值得注意的是,渭南剖面的红度变化与亮度和磁化率记录在Ls／S1过渡时段明显不一致,表明单一的磁化率或颜色指标（红度）在重建夏季风强度时都有一定的局限性。尽管磁化率和红度变化受控的铁氧化物不同,但两者都同风化成壤关系密切,本文综合考虑两个指标,通过对磁化率和红度标准化,提出一个新的Stack指标,用于反演末次间冰期以来夏季风的演化,为深入理解东亚夏季风演化尤其是倒数第二次冰消期夏季风的增强特征提供了新的线索。     

南京地区下蜀黄土磁性地层年代与古环境变化

通过对南京江北泰山新村下蜀土剖面所采的144个样品和南京江南燕子矶下蜀土剖面所采的467个样品所进行的古地磁测年、磁化率测量和粒度测定,建立了南京地区下蜀黄土地层220kaB.P.以来较精细的时间标尺;在此工作基础上,将南京下蜀黄土堆积所记录的环境信息同北方经典黄土、深海沉积氧同位素记录进行了对比,发现燕子矶剖面磁化率曲线能够与深海沉积氧同位素曲线1—7阶段进行良好的对比,两者之间的细节变化具有一致性,其中S0表现为高值,可与氧同位素曲线阶段1对比,为一高温期;L1可以划分为两层黄土(L1LL1、L1LL2)和一层弱发育的古土壤(L1SS1),L1LL1和L1LL2可与阶段2和4对比,L1SS1可与阶段3对比;S1古土壤层由3个古土壤亚层(S1SS1、S1SS2、S1SS3)和2个弱成土亚层(S1LL1、S1LL2)叠置而成,磁化率曲线具有明显的三峰夹两谷形式,正好可与氧同位素阶段5对比,表明这一时期的古气候特点是在湿热的背景下有两次干冷波动,其中S1SS1、S1SS2、S1SS3分别对应于5a、5c、5e,S1LL1、S1LL2对应于5b、5d;L2黄土磁化率曲线整体呈谷形,但中下部有一次峰,下部磁化率偏高,与阶段6的曲线特征相吻合;S2古土壤层未见底,目前获得的磁化率曲线特征可与7a和7b对比。以上研究结果确立了江南风尘堆积的古气候全球变化意义。     

汉江上游I级河流阶的形成及对东亚季风 变化的响应

对郧县—白河段汉江Ⅰ级河流阶地上风成黄土的沉积学、理化性质、地球化学和年代学进行了系统研究。结果表明,汉江Ⅰ河流阶的形成不晚于25 ka BP;黄土具有马兰黄土(L1)→过渡黄土(Lt)→古土壤(S0)→全新世黄土(L0)→表土(TS)的地层序列,与渭河谷地的黄土地层序列完全可比;25~11.5 ka BP,冬季风强盛,气候冷干,从11.5 ka BP开始,冬季风逐渐减弱,气候开始向暖湿方向逐步转化,从8.5 ka BP开始,夏季风达到了末次冰期结束后的鼎盛时期,3.1 ka BP前后,东亚季风格局发生变化,夏季风减弱,重新进入一个相对干冷的时期,而人类活动对地表的影响形成了表土;汉江上游谷地黄土记录的末次冰期后季风逐渐加强、中全新世季风强盛、随后季风衰退和气候变干的夏季风演变模式与渭河谷地黄土的记录高度一致,与邻区石笋和泥炭记录的季风变化趋势也有良好的可比性,但与石笋/泥炭记录的夏季风强盛期的起始时间(9.3~4.2 ka BP)并不完全一致。     

云南元谋盆地距今210-120 ka间干热气候变化重建

元谋盆地西侧浪巴铺湖相沉积物(厚27 m)ESR年代测定结果显示,浪巴铺古湖存在于距今216±20 ka至122±10 ka,经历了倒数第二次间冰期末期、倒数第二次冰期以及末次间冰期初期.结合粒度、磁化率和孢粉等数据,重建了元谋地区距今216±20 ka至122±10 ka期间的气候变化历史:距今216 ～ 185 ka期间,孢粉平均浓度为全剖面最高,出现了喜高温的苏铁科和栲属植物以及指示湿润环境的莎草科植被,表明这段时期气候相对湿热,对应倒数第二次间冰期晚期;距今185 ～150 ka期间,孢粉浓度迅速降低,1050 cm深处(距今160 ka)孢粉浓度只有8.67粒/100 g,对应倒数第二次冰期盛冰期;距今150 ～122 ka期间出现数层砂砾石层,草本植物比例增加,气温回升,降水减少,湖泊面积缩小直至消失,气候干热趋势显著.考虑到浪巴铺古湖沉积物样品平均孢粉浓度只有34.35粒/100g,认为至少在倒数第二次冰期之前,元谋盆地气候的干旱特征已经十分显著,植被稀疏,末次间冰期以来,气候的干热特征已与现代基本相同.     

兰州九州台黄土磁性特征及其古气候意义研究

本文选取黄土高原西部地区具有代表性的九州台黄土进行系统的磁性和粒度特征研究,结果表明其磁性特征主要由磁铁矿控制,同时含有磁赤铁矿和赤铁矿;磁性矿物粒度为假单畴,黄土的粒度组成以粉砂为主.＜2μm的细颗粒组分不能很好的反映黄土高原西部地区黄土末次间冰期的成壤强度.与磁化率相比,xARM/x.,和xARM/SIRM能更好的反映成壤强度和古气候变化.选取＞40μm的粒度百分含量和xARM/SIRM作为代用指标分别反映冬、夏季风变化,研究结果揭示冬、夏季风趋势并非同步异向变化,在倒数第二次冰期向末次间冰期过渡时,相对于夏季风,冬季风的变化具有一定的滞后性,暗示了冬夏季风的主控因素可能不同.     

The terrestrial fauna of the Late Triassic Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry fissures,South Wales,UK and a new species of Clevosaurus (Lepidosauria: Rhynchocephalia)

Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry in South Wales yielded a rich cache of fossils in the early 1950s, including articulated specimens of new species (the small sauropodomorph dinosaur Pantydraco caducus and the crocodylomorph Terrestrisuchus gracilis), but no substantial study of the wider fauna of the Pant-y-ffynnon fissure systems has been published. Here, our overview of existing specimens, a few described but mostly undescribed, as well as freshly processed material, provides a comprehensive picture of the Pant-y-ffynnon palaeo-island of the Late Triassic. This was an island with a relatively impoverished fauna dominated by small clevosaurs (rhynchocephalians), including a new species, Clevosaurus cambrica, described here from a partially articulated specimen and isolated bones. The new species has a dental morphology that is intermediate between the Late Triassic Clevosaurus hudsoni, from Cromhall Quarry to the east, and the younger C. convallis from Pant Quarry to the west, suggesting adaptive radiation of clevosaurs in the palaeo-archipelago. The larger reptiles on the palaeo-island do not exceed 1.5?m in length, including a small carnivorous crocodylomorph, Terrestrisuchus, and a possible example of insular dwarfism in the basal dinosaur Pantydraco.     

Définition d'une limite multicritère ; stratigraphie du passage Campanien–Maastrichtien du site géologique de Tercis (Landes,SW France)Definition of a multi-criteria boundary; stratigraphy of the Campanian–Maastrichtian interval of the geological site at Tercis (Landes,SW France)

Lithostratigraphy, physicochemical stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, and geochronology of the 77–70 Ma old series bracketing the Campanian–Maastrichtian boundary have been investigated by 70 experts. For the first time, direct relationships between macro- and microfossils have been established, as well as direct and indirect relationships between chemo-physical and biostratigraphical tools. A combination of criteria for selecting the boundary level, duration estimates, uncertainties on durations and on the location of biohorizons have been considered; new chronostratigraphic units are proposed. The geological site at Tercis is accepted by the Commission on Stratigraphy as the international reference for the stratigraphy of the studied interval. To cite this article: G.S. Odin, C. R.

The effect of water on accessory phase solubility in subaluminous and peralkaline granitic melts

The solubilities of columbite, tantalite, wolframite, rutile, zircon and hafnon were determined as a function of the water contents in peralkaline and subaluminous granite melts. All experiments were conducted at 1035 °C and 2 kbar and the water contents of the melts ranged from nominally dry to approximately 6 wt.% H₂O. Accessory phase solubilities are not affected by the water content of the peralkaline melt. By contrast, solubilities are affected by the water content of the subaluminous melt, where the solubilities of all the accessory phases examined increase with the water content of the melt, up to 2 wt.% H₂O. At higher water contents, solubilities are nearly constant. It can be concluded that water is not an important control of accessory phase solubility, although the water content will affect diffusivities of components in the melt, thus whether or not accessory phases will be present as restite material. The solubility behaviour in the subaluminous and peralkaline melts supports previous spectroscopic studies, which have observed differences in the coordination of high field strength elements in dry vs. wet subaluminous granitic glasses, but not for peralkaline granitic glasses. Lastly, the fact that wolframite solubility increases with increasing water content in the subaluminous melt suggests that tungsten dissolved as a hexavalent species.     

Late Wuchiapingian (Late Dzhulfian,early Late Permian) limestone olistolites within the Tertiary flysch of Glypia Unit (Mount Parnon,central–eastern Peloponnesus,Greece)

Some olistolites reworked in a Tertiary flysch of Mount Parnon (Peloponnesus, Greece) exhibit a Late Permian assemblage, dominated by Paradunbarula (Shindella) shindensis, Hemigordiopsis cf. luquensis and Colaniella aff. minima. This association corresponds to the Late Wuchiapingian (=Late Dzhulfian), a substage whose algae and foraminifera are generally little known. Contemporaneous limestones crop out in the middle part of the Episkopi Formation in Hydra, but they are rather commonly reworked in Mesozoic and Cainozoic sequences. The palaeobiogeographical affinities shared by the foraminiferal markers of Greece, southeastern Pamir, and southern China, are very strong (up to the specific level), and are congruent with the Pangea B reconstructions.
