米仓山南缘奥陶纪地层新见

详细描述了米仓山南缘奥陶系剖面。将该区奥陶系划分为湄潭组、宝塔组和龙马溪组三个岩石地层单位,并探讨了其空间变化规律,同时根据生物组合特征建立了四个生物带,发现了Ｈｉｒｎａｎｔｉａ－Ｋｉｎｎｅｌａ组合带的存在。拟定后的龙马溪组为一跨晚奥陶世－早志留世的岩石地层单位。

中国典型季风区分子化石记录的生物空间分异

目的揭示中国典型季风区分子化石记录的生物分布的空间分异。方法利用GC-MS对典型季风区泥炭剖面进行分子化石的检测和分析。结果全新世时期,不同季风气候带的正构烷烃分布特征明显不同,从南到北依次为nC29—nC31(少量为nC25)—nC27,nC29,nC31为优势,说明不同地带同一时期植被输入呈明显的分异特征。结论中国全新世不同空间格局的生物,从南到北具有明显的空间分异特点,是生物-气候共同作用的结果。     

天然气是能源低碳化发展的重要阶段和趋势

随着经济和科技的发展，化石能源发展由低效走向高效，由高碳走向低碳。能源替代将是长期以化石能源为主体和新能源快速发展的过渡。天然气以其常规和非常规巨大资源和高储采比成为低碳化石能源发展的重要阶段，并将成为第一能源。利用化石能源中相对低碳的天然气已引起世界范围的热议和重视，天然气将成为走向能源低碳化的桥梁。天然气在中国也是“新”能源，具有很大的发展潜力。     

Mite parasitism of moths: Examples of paleosymbiosis in Dominican amber

Summary Two adult moths (families Gracillariidae and Tineidae) in Dominican amber each contained a pair of larval parasitic mites attached to their bodies. The larval mites were identified as belonging to the family Erythraeidae and represent the first fossil evidence of moths parasitized by mites. Phylogenic and evolutionary implications of this find are discussed in light of similar extant associations.     

电子自旋共振年代计时(III)——关于鹿牙和牛牙化石的研究

采用电子自旋共振年代计时方法测定了贵州桐梓马鞍山的鹿牙化石及河北迁安爪村牛牙化石的年龄,它们分别为(1.5±0.2)×10~4a和(3.7±0.5)×10~4a。在研究作为ESR信号来源的顺磁缺陷中心的性质时,还应用了正电子湮没技术。     

化石中氨基酸的成岩作用

分析了两广地区一些第四纪骨和牙化石的氨基酸含量、外消旋程度，探讨了化石中氨基酸的成岩变化特征，阐述了化石中残留蛋白的降解导致氨基酸外消旋速度的变化，并使其在外消旋反应的后期偏离线性动力学     

河南西峡恐龙18srDNA片段质疑

按照ｒＤＮＡ的结构特点，将ＤＡ１８Ｓ１，７与其他８种生物的ｒＤＮＡ序列进行排列比较，结果表明这２个序列不是恐龙ｒＤＮＡ片段，ＤＡ１８Ｓ７看来更接近一种植物ｒＤＮＡ片段（与金虎尾的同源性达９４％以上），而ＤＡ１８Ｓ１与２种参与比较的真菌ｒＤＮＡ序列有很高的同源性（８８．３％和８９％），它们与脊椎动物ｒＤＮＡ的同源性分别只在６７．８％～７４．１％之间。

Periodicity of Retzius lines in fossil <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pongo</Emphasis> from South China

Periodicity of Retzius lines is a key factor in dental development. In this study, we examined the periodicity of Retzius lines in fossil Pongo from South China using polarized light microscope observation of dental ground sections. The periodicities all of the 15 teeth were 9 d. Comparisons of periodicity were made with extant primates, fossil apes and hominins. Periodicity of fossil Pongo from South China was relatively long but fell within the variation of extant Pongo, Gorilla and modern human, and longer than periodicity of Pan and other extant primates. Fossil Pongo from South China was similar to Lufengpithecus and Sivapithecus, shorter than Gigantopithecus and longer than European and African fossil apes and most early hominins in periodicity. Generally, the periodicities of Asian large-body fossil apes were longer than the periodicities of European and African large-body fossil apes in Miocene. Difference among species and trend of evolution in periodicity were analyzed and discussed. We found that periodicity might gradually increase from Proconsul in early Miocene to several fossil apes in Miocene and then Gigantopithecus in Pleistocene. In addition, this study made correlate analysis between periodicity and body mass respectively in males and females of six extant apes and five fossil apes, and found that periodicity positively correlated with body mass.
