The existing time of Sihetun vertebrate in western Liao- ning, China---Evidence from U-Pb dating of zircon

In different opinions, the stratigraphic time of the feathered dinosaurs and early birds in Sihetun and its neighboring areas in Beipiao, western Liaoning is appointed to different epoches of eras, such as Late Jurassic, Early Cretaceous and Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous. Even the recently dating data are still very different. This note first reported the U-Pb age of (125.2±0.9) Ma of zircon separated from tuff of Sihetun vertebrates horizon. The age reveals that Sihetun vertebrate belongs to Early Cretaceous. The method is more objective, because of the strong ability of disturbance resistance and high U-Pb blocking temperature of zircons.     

Zircon isotopic ages from magnetite quartzites of the Jianping metamorphic complex, western Liaoning Province

Using the zircon Pb evaporation method and high precise ion microprobe analyses, zircon isotopic ages in supracrustal magnetite quartzites from Jianping metamorphic complex have been obtained. The results show that the deposition of the supracrustal rocks occurred around 2 552–2 520 Ma and the peak of granulite facies metamorphism reached at about 2 487 Ma; about (1 806±16) Ma, i.e. Mid-Proterozoic, the other possible metamorphic event with relatively low intensity happened in the study area. It is speculated that a likely tectonic setting where the Jianping metamorphic complex formed is an active continental margin that is involved in continental collision and crustal thickening shortly after its formation.     

The carbon isotope study of biomarkers in the Maoming and the Jianghan tertiary oil shale

In terms of the individual carbon isotope data of biomarkers present in the typical freshwater lake sediment (Maoming oil shale) and saline lake sediment lake (Jianghan oil shale) of China, this paper discusses their precursors and depositional environments of biomarkers in both sediment samples. Our studies showed that phytane and pristane of the Maoming oil shale were derived from the phytol side chain of chlorophyll a. By comparing the isotopic composition of 4-methyl sterane with that of sterane and hopane, it is suggested that 4-methyl sterane which has a higher abundance in the Maoming oil shale come from bacteria. The isotopic composition of biomarkers from the Jianghan rock sample (saline lake sediment ) is significantly different from that of the Maoming oil shale (freshwater lake sediment). Gammacerane was derived from haloprotozoan, with δ13C being about -25.8‰, just in consistency with the value reported in previous studies. The isotopic composition of phytane and pristane in the Jianghan rock is similar to that of sterane and 4-methyl sterane derived from phytoplanktons, illustrating their commonprecursors were algae. This paper reported for the first time the carbon isotope data of porphyrin obtained by GC-IRMS techniques. The approximate δ13C of C32DPEP and C31DPEP porphyrin from the Jianghan Basin indicated that the porphyrin was derived from chlorophyll. In the Maomingoil shale C32DPEP was enriched in 13C relative to C32etio and C31DPEP, implying that C32DPEP came from chlorophyll, and C32etio and C31DPEP are of other origins.

五台山晚太古代花岗岩的成因及其动力学意义

五台山晚太古代花岗岩（～2.540 Ga）,主要由花岗闪长岩、二长花岗岩、少量的英云闪长岩、奥长花岗岩组成,全岩化学分析表明它们具有中～高钾钙碱性花岗质岩浆性质,LILE富集和高的 w(Rb)/w(Sr) (即: Rb/Sr)比值,相对较低的 w(Sr)/w(Y)、w(La)_n/w(Yb)_n、w(Nb)/w(Ta) 和 w(Zr)/w(Hf) 比值,右斜式稀土配分模式,Nb、Ta、Ti亏损,但是它们均表现了Nd T_DM＝2.54～2.72 Ga和明显的正ε_Nd(t)值。这些地球化学特征表明其钙碱性花岗质岩浆形成于晚太古代大洋岛弧环境,来源于弧下玄武质初生地壳的部分熔融,并经历了一定程度的结晶分异。由于晚太古代洋壳向大洋岛弧俯冲、脱水,引起上覆地幔楔的部分熔融形成弧下初生地壳玄武质物质,这些弧下玄武质物质在少于37km环境下部分熔融形成五台山晚太古代钙碱性花岗质岩浆。

元素周期系的“时空限制”

本文从“时”“空”两个方面讨论了元素周期系的界限。铀后元素是不稳定的,随着原子序数的增加,半衰期迅速变短,作为不稳定核的存在受到可测时间的限制,可测时间的理论极限应是强相互作用时间10~(-23)秒。铀后元素最长寿同位素的半衰期τ(年)与原子序数Z有近似线性关系lgτ=-1.173Z+116.7,由此得出不稳定核存在的时间限制是Z=125;空间限制是Z=131～153。“时”“空”限制基本相一致,使得有理由认为周期系的极限界限在第八周期。
