Speciation of the genus Arthricocephalus Bergeron, 1899 (Trilobita) from the late Early Cambrian and its stratigraphic significance

The genus Arthricocephalus Bergeron, 1899 is revised, and Halipanktos Balker & Peel, 1997 is suggested here as a senior synonym. The subgenus Arthricocephalus (Arthricocephalites) Chien & Lin in Lu et al., 1974 is considered as a separate genus. Of the 20 previously assigned species of Arthricocephalus (Arthricocephalus) Bergeron, 1899, Arthricocephalus (Arthricocephalites) Chien & Lin in Lu et al., 1974, Arthricocephalus (Euarthricocephalus) Ju, 1983 are lumped into eight species. The speciation trend of Arthricocephalus and Arthricocephalites is demonstrated based on their stratigraphic occurrences. It not only enhances the resolution of the biostatigraphic zonation in the uppermost Lower Cambrian, but also represents a potential candidate to define the Duyunian stage. The base of the stage is suggested at the first appearance datum (FAD) of Arthricocephalus chauveaui Bergeron, 1899 within the evolutionary lineage from Ar. jiangkouensis Yin in Yin & Li,1978 to Ar. chauveaui in a global scale.

When horsetails became giants

Horsetails arose in the Late Devonian,evolved a greater diversity and forming fast growing bamboo-like thickets in the Carboniferous lowland swamp forest ecosystems.However,the diversity of this group drastically declined during the Permian while the climate became more dynamic and arid.Today only a single surviving genus exists,the herbaceous Equisetum.Here we report an exceptional large horsetail tree from the Early Permian Petrified Forest of Chemnitz.This fossil horsetail tree is assigned to Arthropitys bistriata (Cotta) Goeppert.It is 15 m high and over 25 cm in diameter,with thick wood and at least 3 orders of woody branching system formed a big canopy,and is morphologically very comparable with the living woody higher plants.This suggests that the plasticity mechanism of Permian calamitaleans enabled novel growth strategies when they competed with the rising gymnosperms during the environmental changes.     

Petrogenesis of Aoyougou high-silica adakite in the North Qilian orogen, NW China: Evidence for decompression melting of oceanic slab

A trondhjemitic body occurs in the Aoyougou area,the western part of the North Qilian orogen.It is geochemically characterized by high SiO 2,Na 2 O (high Na/K),elevated Sr/Y and (La/Yb) N,positive Sr anomaly,relatively enriched large ion lithophile elements (LILEs) and light rare earth elements (LREEs),and depleted Nb,Ta,Ti,resembling the high-silica adakite.Zircon U-Pb SHRIMP dating yields a weighted mean age of 438±3 Ma.This age is significantly younger than eclogitization ages of 460-490 Ma in the North Qilian orogen,suggesting that formation of the adakite postdates the subduction of oceanic crust in association with closure of the ancient Qilian Ocean.Whole-rock Sr and Nd isotopic analyses give initial ratios of I Sr =0.7044 0.7047 and Nd (t)=3.0 4.1,indicating that they are derived from partial melting of the juvenile oceanic crust.In view of the tectonic evolution of the North Qilian orogen,the high-silica adakite was probably derived from decompression melting of the exhumed eclogite at the depth of ～60 km.     

Starch grain evidence reveals early pottery function cooking plant foods in North China

Early pottery sherds excavated in northern China date back to more than 11,000 cal a BP, and are presumed to have been used as cooking vessels. There has been, however, no direct evidence to demonstrate this function. Here we report ancient starch grains recovered from carbonized residues adhering to the bases of flat- bottomed vessels excavated from the Zhuannian site dating more than 10,000 cal a BP in the North China Plain. This evidence demonstrates that early pottery was being used to cook cereal grains, particularly millets, and acorns. Because millets were in the process of domestication at thistime, we propose that pottery invention in northern China may have been related to early farming activities.

渤海L油田早期注聚效果评价方法研究

目前对于早期注聚效果的评价没有成熟的方法,增油降水的效果基本依靠动态分析方法评价,由于早期注聚与晚期注聚的很大不同,造成动态分析方法在评价早期注聚效果方面存在很大的局限性。本文引入一种早期注聚效果评价的新方法,运用数值模拟技术对渤海L早期注聚效果进行全面的评价,建立高精度历史拟合的数值模型,并建立假想的水驱模型,使之与实际模型对比,结果表明,通过数值模拟法计算的增油量与动态分析法相比更加精确,原因是数值模拟法排除了各种措施带来的干扰,且考虑了油田的递减规律。另外建立了不同含水时机注聚的模型,通过分析认为,目前渤海L油田实行的早期注聚在各方面相较其他含水时机注聚具有很大优势。     

准噶尔盆地南缘上侏罗统-下白垩统地层不整合成因和构造演化意义——齐古断褶带剖面的启示

为了深化准噶尔盆地南缘新生代前构造演化研究,以准噶尔盆地南缘山前齐古断褶带上侏罗统-下白垩统露头剖面为例,利用野外地质调查、二维地震剖面解释、无人机航拍建模,分析上侏罗统和下白垩统地层之间地层接触关系,结合重矿物不稳定系数和地层厚度分布,得出区域不整合的成因,建立准噶尔盆地南缘山前晚侏罗世-早白垩世构造演化模式.结果表明:准噶尔盆地南缘齐古断褶带上侏罗统喀拉扎组和下白垩统清水河组地层之间存在角度不整合,与中-晚侏罗世欧亚板块南缘一系列的碰撞拼合背景下构造变形引起的剥蚀密切相关.自晚侏罗世进入挤压构造背景以来,天山北缘的构造活动经历了由强到弱的过程,强烈的构造抬升使得喀拉扎组沉积范围明显缩小并整体遭受暴露剥蚀,清水河组超覆在喀拉扎组地层之上形成区域不整合.
