Extinction pattern of reef ecosystems in latest Permian

Studies of two Permian-Triassic boundary (PTB) sections on top of a Changhsingian reef in Ziyun, Guizhou Province, southwestern China indicate that the end-Permian mass extinction of reef ecosystems occurred in two steps. The first step is the extinction of all stenotropic organisms such as calcisponges and fusulinids in the latest Permian (in the Clarkina yini conodont zone). The biota after the first extinction is simple, comprising eurytropic organisms including microgastropods, ostracods, and some small burrowing organisms, or only algal mats. At the beginning of the Early Triassic (i.e. the beginning of the Hindeodus parvus zone), the environments became anoxic, and the microgastropod dominated biota or algal mats disappeared, which constituted the second episode of the mass extinction. The biota after the second extinction comprises small spherical microproblematica, some kinds of specialized organisms tolerant of anoxic or oxygen-poor conditions. As the environments became oxygenated, the specialized biota was replaced by a microgastropod-dominated simple biota. When the environmental conditions improved further, the simple biota was replaced by a diverse biota with normal-sized ammonoids, bivalves, and gastropods, representing restoration of normal oceanic condi- tions. Comparison with PTB sections in Dolomites, Italy and Meishan, Zhejiang Province shows that non-reef ecosystems had a similar first episode of mass extinction in the latest Permian. In the case that oceanic anoxia happened, non-reef ecosystems had a second extinction episode similar to that of reef ecosystems.

华北石炭二叠纪含煤地层中的铵伊利石

地球化学和矿物学研究表明,N在火成岩、变质岩、特别是沉积岩中无所不在。N以NH_4~+的形式进入晶格。含NH_4~+矿物包括:水铵长石、含铵黑云母或云母等。近十几年来,铵伊利石在国外也陆续见有报道。然而在中国,除刘钦甫和张鹏飞、梁绍暹二人首次同时提及煤系中存在铵伊利石外,尚未有详细的文献报道。     

江西信丰县铁石口剖面二叠—三叠系界线综合研究

首次对江西信丰县铁石口二叠－三叠系界线剖面的生物地层学、岩石地层学、微量元素、碳及氧稳定同位素、粘土岩和沉积环境以及数学地质的有序最优分割计算进行了综合研究，通过分析，将铁石口剖面二叠－三叠系界线置于第２６层底。界线粘土岩（第２６层）的矿物组成以伊利石和高岭石为主，仅含少量蒙脱石－伊利石不规则混层矿物，这是首次发现的新类型界线粘土岩。     

华北二叠纪古风活动之古植物学证据

众所周知,干旱气候是华北二叠纪大陆环境的主调,因此古风活动表现尤为剧烈.但有关的研究和报道很少,这是由于测定地质时期古风活动往往是困难的.通常根据原生沉积相,如交错层理和风成波痕;矿物的粒度、圆度和磨蚀面等特征来判断山.但此途径仅适用于超干旱型沙丘沙漠环境,对于其它环境下古风活动遗迹,由于后期各种地质作用的歪曲或破坏已经难以识别了.

Tingia unita sp. nov. （Noeggerathiales） with strobilus from the Lower Permian of Wuda, Inner Mongolia, China

A number of specimens recently collected from the Early Permian Shanxi Formation of Wuda, Inner Mongolia demonstrate that the leafy shoot and strobilus of Tingia unita sp. nov. are both sprouting from a common stem, and consequently improve our understanding of the whole plant mor- phology of this enigmatic taxon of the Cathaysian flora. The strobili are cylinder-like, 1.7-2.5 cm in diameter and over 20 cm in length, with a basal stalk 7―8 mm in width and about 7 cm long. Sporophylls are verticillate, with approximately 8-10 in a whorl. On the adaxial side of each sporophyll a sporangium is attached. The strobilus is heterosporous and the microspores are of the Punctatisporites type. Large leaves vary from linear to oblong with entire lateral margins but are slightly lobed at the apex. Small leaves are generally the same as the large leaves but much narrower. The whole plant is probably a small arborescent tree with leafy shoots and strobili forming a crown, rather than a water plant with larger leaves floating on the surface of the water as previously understood. Features of the new species are in favor of the close affinity between Tingia Halle and Noeg- gerathiales, and accordingly the affinity of Noeg- gerathiales to Progymnospermophyta.
