Discovery of marine fossils in the upper part of the Permian Linxi Formation in Lopingian, Xingmeng area, China

Two important geological issues have a long history of debate in the Xingmeng area. The first concerns the final closure of the North China plate, Siberia plate and several intermediate massifs in the area, and the other con- cerns the folding and lifting of the Xingmeng Trough. Dis- agreements arise because of issues involving the tectonic- palaeogeographical environment of the Upper Permian deposits of the Linxi Formation. The Linxi Formation （Upper Permian） is generally considered to be either an exclusively continental deposit or separated into marine- terrigenous facies deposited during the Lower to Middle Linxi Period and continental deposits in the Upper Linxi Period. However, in this study, large numbers of bryozoan and sponge spicule fossils were discovered for this first time in the thick limestone layers and lenses of the upper part of the Linxi Formation found in the Guandi section of Linxi county in eastern Inner Mongolia. At the same time, abun- dant bryozoan fossils were also found in sedimentary tuff slices that were collected from the upper part of the Tao- huayingzi Formation from the Taohuayingzi section in Ar Horqin Banner, and abundant small connecting body crinoid stem fossils were found in the dark shale of the Yangjiagou Formation from the Yangjiagou section of Jiutai county, Jilin Province. These marine fossils provide the first evidence that the Xingmeng area was still a marine or mainly marine environment at the end of the late Permian. This not only provides conclusive evidence for the recognition of the above two major geological issues but also promotes chan- ges in the approach towards research, exploration and development of oil and gas, shale gas （oil）, and other mineral resources that are preserved in the late Permian layers of the Northeast-Xingmeng area.     

安徽中南部下二叠统栖霞组和孤峰组沉积环境及成岩历史

皖中南地区下二叠统发育8种不同的沉积相带。栖霞组下部主要发育滨岸细碎屑岩相带和半局限海台地相带,中上部发育开阔海台地相带、较深水台凹相带和台棚内带;早中孤峰期发育台棚外带、台棚内带和台地边缘缓坡相带,晚孤峰期在宿松地区发育了台地边缘生物滩相带。研究区下二叠统成岩环境划为海底-浅埋藏、中埋藏、深埋藏和表生成岩环境。并阐述了这4种成岩环境内的成岩作用类型组合标志。     

湖南二叠系的“南、北型”问题──兼谈上、下二叠统的界线

湖南二叠系“南、北型”是由早二叠世晚期华南东吴运动主幕所造成的,在华南各省具有普遍意义．湖南的当冲组仅相当于茅口组的中下部,龙潭煤系下段则相当于茅口组的上部,因而湖南二叠系的“南、北型”实质上是一个同时异相沉积的问题．上、下二叠统界线应划在龙潭组中、下老山段之间,这个界线才是与国际上流行的界线相一致的．     

福建二叠纪介形类两新属

报道产自福建二叠纪的化石介形类两新属．Ｄａｔｉａｎｉａ　ｇｅｎ．ｎｏｖ，产自大田崆峒山晚二叠世长兴组上部，其共生化石主要有丰富的介形类、蜒、非蜒有孔虫和牙形刺．Ｈｅｔｅｒｏｂａｉｒ　ｄｉａ ｇｅｎ．ｎｏｖ．产自大田广平早二叠世栖霞组近中部．其共生化石主要有极丰富的介形类和非蜓有孔虫．根据它们的构造特征和壳面装饰特点，分别将Ｄａｔｉａｎｉａ　ｇｅｎ．ｎｏｖ．和Ｈｅｔｅｒｏｂａｉｒｄｉａ　ｇｅｎ．ｎｏｖ．归入Ａｒｃｙｚｏｉｄａｅ科．结合其共生化石内容和岩性特征，两新属应营正常浅海底栖生活方式．     

峨眉山早二叠世的苔藓虫化石

峨眉山早二叠世地层发育,化石丰富,含大量苔藓虫化石。栖霞组以Fenestella sp.(A)为特征,茅口组下部以Araxopora hayasakai最丰富,上部则以Meekopora emeishanensis(sp.nov.)为特色。Meekopora属在我国过去仅发现于石炭系,现该属首次在蛾眉山下二叠统中发现,其层位大致相当子北美早二叠世的瓜达卢普组(Guadalupian)。     

云南澜沧老厂矿区石炭系划分及原中上石炭统碳酸盐岩时代归属探讨

参照目前的石炭纪和二叠纪地层划分方案,笔者将云南澜沧老厂矿区石炭系与滇西凤庆平掌剖面石炭系进行对比,认为老厂矿区只存在相当于平掌组下段的地层;根据在矿区原中上石炭统"C2 3"碳酸盐岩中所采到的化石面貌显示,该套碳酸盐岩应该属于早二叠世紫松期的沉积,即为下二叠统鱼塘寨组的上段,因而矿区平掌组上段的地层及上石炭统缺失.并重新厘定了老厂矿区的地层层序.     

淮北煤田早二叠世植物群落及其组合特征

本文详细研究了淮北煤田早二叠世地层植物化石1300余块,其分属于10大类共69属165种。该区早二叠世植物化石丰富,保存良好,是典型的华夏植物群。根据该期植物群的纵向发育规律和空间分布特点,其可划分为两个植物组合,即早二叠世早期山西组的Cathaysiopteris whitei-Callipteridium koraiense-Cordaites schenkii组合带和早二叠世晚期下石盒子组的Lobatannularia ensifolia-Gigantonoclea spp.-Caulopteris spp.组合带。     

川东北元坝地区长兴期-飞仙关期碳酸盐岩台地沉积体系及演化

四川盆地东北部元坝地区二叠纪-三叠纪沉积环境主要与北部广旺海槽形成与关闭、米仓山与大巴山隆起及二叠纪峨眉山玄武岩喷发有关.通过野外露头、三维地震数据、钻井资料的综合研究,认为长兴组-飞仙关组沉积为碳酸盐台地沉积体系,可进一步划分为台地蒸发岩、局限台地、开阔台地、台地边缘生物礁滩和台地边缘斜坡5个相带.长兴期沿台地边缘发育了台地边缘礁滩;飞一段早期相对平静,沉积末期广旺海槽全部关闭;飞二段至飞三段早期主要为开阔台地沉积;飞三段晚期-飞四段演变为局限台地-台地蒸发岩相.飞二段浅滩与长兴期礁滩大致处于相同位置,未发生侧向迁移;飞三段台内浅滩的发育有明显的侧向迁移和垂向叠置的特征;从西南向东北方向,飞仙关组早期台地沉积区向陆棚沉积区迁移.
