Bound lipids in lacustrine sediments in Guchenghu Lake, East China

Conclusion Lipids present in different modes of occurrence in lacustrine sediments vary obviously in their composition. The ester-bound and amide-bound lipids are more likely to be derived from autochthonous input such as bacteria, algae and fungi in the lake, and they were more stable than the free lipids in the process of early diagenesis. Bound lipids record the more actual information about the paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental changes. Amide-bound P-hydroxy fatty acids can be used as a fingerprint of the past bacterial communities which is informative to the paleoenvironment.     

长江三角洲平原粘土矿物分布特征及其环境意义

采用XRD研究了长江三角洲地区15个表层样品和5个剖面样品中的粘土矿物.结果表明： 表层样品粘土矿物含量和组合类型的空间分布以本区7 500-8 000a前古岸线为界呈现了明显的分区现象,指示古岸线东西两侧物源和沉积环境的差异;剖面样品中伊利石和高岭石含量相互消长的变化则反映了晚更新世末以来气候的波动特征.     

Molecular organic geochemical evidence for paleoenvironmental changes at 11.87-12.28 m in GS-1 sedimentary core, Gucheng Lake, East China

Organic lipids with different occurrence modes in a sedimentary core in a subtropical freshwater lake, Gucheng Lake, were sequentially extracted, separated and analyzed. The down-core variations of OEP index of alkanes, C18:2/C18:0 ratios of fatty acids, ratios of bound, fatty acids to free fatty acids, thermo-maturity indices of hopanoid hydrocarbons and relative concentrations of sedimentary minerals revealed an evident increasing in allochthonous input from rock detritus below 12.28 m in the sedimentary profile. The distribution pattern of tightly-bound β-hydroxy fatty acids indicated a difference in bacterial communities above and below the boundary, as well as the gammacerane index may assign a significant change in lake water salinity. The evidence, in general, suggested that a significant paleoenvironmental change had taken place in ca. 9.6 kaBP on the regional basis.     

根据孢粉组合探讨干旱区晚更新世以来的古环境特殊性

本文根据巴坤湖ＺＫ－０２４孔的孢粉分析结果和１４Ｃ测年数据研究对比，总结归纳出巴坤盆地晚更新世以来的孢粉组合序列概貌，并划分为六个孢粉组合带，在大陆性气候控制下的新疆，晚更新世以来干湿冷暖配置状况与东部地区相反。从孢粉分析来看，尽管存在短时间由暖湿或冷干气候控制新疆的可能性。但是，干暖或冷湿的是新疆干旱区晚更新世以来气候变迁的一般规律。     

鄂尔多斯盆地西缘北段乌达剖面石炭系羊虎沟组地球化学特征及其古环境意义

鄂尔多斯盆地西缘石炭系羊虎沟组的烃源岩条件好,但其沉积环境存在较大的争议,因盆地中部、南部的羊虎沟组露头的部分层位存在缺失,以北部地区乌达剖面为例开展了系统研究。采用便携式X射线荧光光谱仪对剖面进行连续精确测试,结合孢粉古生物、干酪根-δ~(13)C‰、稀土元素分析,对工区的古氧化还原环境、古气候、古水深及体系域进行分析。结果表明:通过V/(V+Ni)、Ni/Co、δEu值判别羊虎沟时期处于氧化到还原的过渡阶段;Sr/Cu介于1.3～7.8,蕨类植物孢子占绝对优势地位,处于温暖潮湿气候;羊虎沟时期从低水位体系域到海侵体系域再到高位体系域,Al元素的质量分数和Sr/Ba值由高■低■高,而Mg元素的质量分数由低■高■低。该区域主要受西北部阿拉善古陆物源控制,总体表现为滨浅海-三角洲复合沉积环境。     

Molecular organic geochemical evidence for paleoenvironmental changes at 11.87–12.28 m in GS-1 sedimentary core, Gucheng Lake, East China

Organic lipids with different occurrence modes in a sedimentary core in a subtropical freshwater lake, Gucheng Lake, were sequentially extracted, separated and analyzed. The down-core variations of OEP index of alkanes, C_18:2/C_18:0 ratios of fatty acids, ratios of bound, fatty acids to free fatty acids, thermo-maturity indices of hopanoid hydrocarbons and rerative concentrations of sedimentary minerals revealed an evident increasing in allochthonous input from rock detritus below 12.28 m in the sedimentary profile. The distribution pattern of tightlybound β-hydroxy fatty acids indicated a difference in bacterial communities above and below the boundary, as well as the gammacerane index may assign a significant change in lake water salinity. The evidence, in general, suggested that a significant paleoenvironmental change had taken place in ca. 9.6 kaBP on the regional basis.     

Preliminary Mo isotope data of Phanerozoic clastic sediments from the northern margin of the Yangtze block and its implication for paleoenvironmental conditions

Mo isotopes along with Nd isotopes and other geochemical characteristics of the Phanerozoic clastic sediments from the northern margin of the Yangtze block were analyzed by MC-ICP-MS and some other techniques, spanning the period from Cambrian to Jurassic. The δ 98Mo values and εNd(t ) in these sedimets were observed to exhibit a large range of variation (?0.65‰―+1.87‰, ?1.46―?10.90, respec-tively). Specifically, the sample from Late Permian Maokou Formation has relatively positive values in both δ 98Mo and...
