山东临沂煤田本溪组Profusulinella带层位的发现及其地质意义

本文首次证实山东临沂煤田本溪组的层位均属于Profusulinella带,而华北地区本溪组普遍发育的Fusulina—Fusulinella带则在本区缺失。文中共记述了蜓类7属42种和亚种,其中包括6个新种。另外还对其在古地理、构造方面的意义作了讨论。     

Cannibalism in a semi-aquatic reptile from the Early Cretaceous of China

Cannibalism or intraspecific predation is a particular form of feeding behavior that is far more common in lower vertebrates and invertebrates than in higher vertebrates such as reptiles, birds and mammals. Evidence for cannibalism in vertebrate fossils, however, is generally rare, and the best examples were recently found in the Madagascan dinosaur Majungatholus atopus , the Neanderthals. Here we report the presence of cannibal-ism in a semiaquatic reptile Monjurosuchus splendens from the Lower Cretaceous of China (Fig. 1), as shown by an adult individual containing seven skulls of juveniles of the same species in its abdominal cavity, indicating that it is an active cannibal that preys on young members of its own kind. This discovery also represents the earliest known and most gruesome cannibalism ever recorded among the prehistoric vertebrates.     

Original component of grain size index in core sediment from southwestern slope of the South China Sea and its paleoenvironmental implication

Traditional grain size analysis was basically used to discriminate sediment type based on its particle dimension for sedimentary naming[1,2] and to analyze the dynamic feature of transport medium, including water current and wind strength[3―5]. Recently, some patency advances havebeen made by using different methods to separate different grain sizes in various original composition from sediments for searching a new way of paleoenvironmental study[6―8]. Grain size analysis is even playing an …     

中国北方新近纪红黏土记录的古气候意义——与动物群化石序列对比

目的研究中国北方新近纪红黏土序列的古气候演化特征。方法对中国北方4个新近纪红黏土剖面沉积物的粒度、磁化率和化石动物群时间序列进行区域对比。结果黄土高原新近纪红黏土沉积以来发生了5次大的气候事件,气候事件的分界线在粒度、磁化率年龄曲线上特征明显,反映的气候特点与化石动物群演替性质完全一致。结论中国北方新近纪红黏土序列古气候演化过程的气候事件均与青藏高原隆升和东亚季风的发展相联系。时间上,南北气候演化事件基本同步;空间上,北部较南部地区变化剧烈。5次气候事件从下到上表现为半湿润、半干旱、湿润、干旱与湿润交替、干旱的气候演化特征;相应动物群生态类型表现为草原-疏林草原、草原为主的疏林草原、森林、草原荒漠与森林交替到草原的演化特点。     

我国亚热带喀斯特生态环境演变研究进展

石漠化作为喀斯特地区土壤侵蚀的终极状态，正逐渐演变成继北方沙漠化和黄土高原地区水土流失之后的我国第三大土地退化问题，石漠化相关问题研究当前已被提到国家目标的高度.文中根据喀斯特生态环境演变的几个研究中心及研究焦点问题，将其归纳为三大学派：环境地质学派、地表过程学派和人地关系学派.对从事各学派研究的主要代表学者及科研群体、关注热点、学术论点和已有的工作成果做了介绍，并对各学派最新的研究动向进行了展望.最后，对喀斯特地区生态环境演变研究进行了总结和讨论，提出喀斯特生态环境演变诸研究中存在的问题及未来的发展方向.

漂移的南极大陆

距今2亿多年前的侏罗纪时期，南极大陆是与现今的南美洲、非洲大陆、马达加斯加、新西兰、澳大利亚和印度大陆连为一体的冈瓦纳古大陆。古大陆以南极大陆为中心，大约在1．8亿年前开始分裂．经过数次分离并逐渐漂移，南极洲大陆形成并移到现今位置。
