A 2500-year sea level change record in Fildes Peninsula, Antarctica

A detailed record of sea level changes during the last 2500 years is preserved in the northernwest coast of Fildes Peninsula in Antarctica. Fourteen marine alga layers were deposited in the beach with an altitude of 2.80 m, and one diatom layer deposited in the ancient lake on the terrace with an altitude of 6.84 m. A radiocarbon age of 695±70 aBP was obtained for the modern marine alga, and the age was used in correction for the carbon reservoir effect of the marine alga. Sea level fell 4.98 m from the 4th century B.C. to the early 13th century, at an average of -0.31 cm/a, then rose about 0.78 m during the early 13th to the middle 18th century, at an average of 0.14 cm/a. It has risen about 0.16 m since the middle 18th century, at an average of 0.07 cm/a.     

华北克拉通恒山地区晚太古代变质火山岩的地球化学特征及构造意义

对恒山地区出露的变质火山岩开展岩相学、地球化学、锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素研究,旨在确定其形成时代,探讨岩石成因及地球动力学意义。锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,这些变质火山岩喷发于新太古代晚期(2508±20Ma)。地球化学分析结果显示,恒山变质火山岩由变质玄武岩和变质玄武安山岩组成,SiO₂(45.51%～62.67%)、FeO_T (4.43%～15.72%)和MgO (3.75%～8.14%)含量变化幅度大,是幔源岩浆经单斜辉石、角闪石和磁铁矿分离结晶的产物。这些变质火山岩富集轻稀土(LREE)和大离子亲石元素(LILE),亏损重稀土(HREE)和高场强元素(HFSE),具有相对高的Th含量和Th/Yb比值,呈现钙碱性岛弧火山岩的特征。结合不相容元素比值Nb/Yb,Zr/Yb和(Nb/La)_N的特点,推测其来源于俯冲带具流体交代特征的富集地幔源区。结合区域构造背景,推断恒山变质火山岩形成于新太古晚期大陆弧环境。     

藏南特提斯晚三叠世海岸风成沙丘的发现及其意义

通过近年来的研究,首次在聂拉木县土隆村上三叠统德日荣组中发现了海岸风成沙丘沉积。其风成证据有:(1)普遍具风成大型交错层理,倾角达20°～30°且倾向均一,交错纹层向上变薄,具反粒序,与下伏界面相切,层间界面多为高波痕指数(>15)波状风蚀起伏面。(2)见沙丘夹丘间沉积的基本层序。沙丘沉积单层厚2～6m,呈块状,结构松散。丘间沉积较薄,有时为透镜体,多为水道沉积,有些为具反粒序的风成沙席沉积。(3)沙丘砂由分选、磨圆好的石英砂组成,含量大于95%,具单众数粒度分布,无悬移质。(4)见角砾化前积层、牵引褶曲、倒转褶曲等常见的风成沙丘同沉积变形构造。(5)具有与水成砂岩完全不同的胶结特征。海岸风成沙丘的存在准确地标定了特提斯南岸的古海岸线位置、丰富了研究区的沉积类型,无疑对特提斯海的层序划分、海平面变化及其古地理演化研究具有一定意义。     

A new Euprox from the Late Miocene of Yuanmou,Yunnan Province,China,with interpretation of its paleoenvironment

The Yuanmou Basin of Yunnan Province is a hotspot for the research of early homind evolution and its environmental background.During the implementation of the Program“Research of the Origin and Evolution of Early Man and Its Environmental Baqckground” from 1998 to 2001,a huge quantity of hominoid and mammal fossils were collected.The present report systematically describes an Euprox robustus sp.nov.identified during the recent laboratory work on the collected material.Euprox is a group of earliest cervids with true antlers.The new species is the third one of the genus discovered in China.Judged by its morphologic characteristics,the new species feed on juicy and tender leaves of dicotyledon.It implies that the vegetation of its epoch in the Yuanmou Basin is a kind of southern subtropical evergreen forest and the climate is humid and temperate with evident seasonality.The latter is mostly influenced by the monsoon and secondly by the latitude.     

Initial organic geochemical investigation on Late Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian sediments in the Yangtze region, China

Totally 19 samples of typical Upper Proterozoic-Lower Cambrian sedimentary rocks were collected and analyzed for an organic geochemical investigation. Almost all these rocks have high TOCs, super-maturities and similar biomarker distribution. As an exception, however, the Sinian Nantuo Tillite shows much lower TOCs and little phytane and pristane in comparison with those in other strata, which implies a very faint photosynthetic process, and a restricted euphotic zone and quite limited sunlight within the sedimentary water column during the Sinian glaciation age in the western Yangtze region providing an evidence for palaeo-oceanic environment of the Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth age.     

内蒙古苏尼特右旗查干诺尔石炭系本巴图组火山岩地球化学特征及其地质意义

内蒙古查干诺尔地区石炭系本巴图组地层的火山岩,SiO2含量集中分布在48.20%～51.11%和64.66%～65.42%两个区间,分别属于玄武岩和英安岩,构成一套双峰式火山岩组合.其中基性火山岩具有枕状和块状构造,属于碱性玄武岩系列;英安岩的碱含量较高,属于钙碱性系列.基性火山岩中,枕状玄武岩轻稀土略亏损而重稀土略富...     

袁世凯与晚清宪政改革——兼谈袁世凯与宫廷各派之间的关系

袁世凯不仅促成了清廷预备立宪,而且还在预备立宪的过程中,做了一些别人做不到的事情。袁世凯在直隶试行立宪政治与改革,实际上是配合中央的宪政改革而进行的,其目的是为地方仿行立宪作出表率。尤其地方自治的实行,为接受新式教育的绅商活跃于各级地方政府的政治舞台创造了条件,有利于改变传统的地方和基层权力结构,使地方政治体制逐渐发生转型,朝着民主政治的方向发展。袁世凯的所作所为对近代中国政治的近代化起了一定的推动作用。     

济阳坳陷上第三系储层特征及天然气藏形成条件分析

济阳坳陷上第三系是胜利油田的主要产油气层段之一，也是今后进一步进行天然气勘探开发工作的主力目的层位。本文从上第三系储层的类型及其展布规律、岩性、储集物性、微观孔隙结构等方面，详细分析了天然气储层的特征。并在此基础上，讨论了天然气藏的形成条件及天然气富集规律。研究表明，天然气对储层储集物性的要求比石油更具广泛性；天然气藏的形成除必须具备一定的储层条件外，更重要的是受控于生成运移条件、盖层条件及一定构造背景等。

Histological observation of some primitive euconodonts of Late Cambrian from Liaoning

The histology of some euconodonts of Late Cambrian from Benxi and Fuxian County, Liaoning Province is studied by the oil-immersion technique. The histological characteristics of six primitive species of euconodonts - Proconodontus muelleri， Proconodontus tenuiserratus， Granatodontus ani， Rotundoconus tricarinatus， Teridontus nakamurai and Cordylodus proavus are described in detail. Tubular dentine and atubular (parallel- and wavy-lamellar) dentine are found in the basal bodies of the primitive euconodonts Proconodontus tenuiserratus and Proconodontus muelleri, respectively. The tubular dentine and spherulitic dentine are also recognized from the basal bodies of Granatodontus ani and Rotundoconus tricarinatus. Since the histological characteristics of the studied six species of euconodonts belonging to Proconodontus lineage and Teridontus lineage Sensu Miller (Univ Kansas Paleontol Contr, 1980, 99: 1?39) seems to be almost the same, euconodonts are proposed as possibly monophyletic herein.
