南京地区第四系主要地层类型及分层探讨

南京地区地形地貌复杂，第四系分布变化大，在归纳南京地区第四纪沉积环境的基础上，总结了不同地貌和地质单元的地层层序特征。根据地层的成因和工程性质，结合国家规范中的地层分类原则，提出了统一分层的方法和统一的地层代号，将该地区第四系划分为填土、新近沉积土、一般沉积土和老沉积土等4个大层和若干亚层，同时提供了各层土的基本物理力学性质、典型剖面。对今后的勘察研究提出了建议。     

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。     

Quaternary high-resolution opal record and its paleoproductivity implication at ODP Site 1143,southern South China Sea

The correlation of opal content and MAR with oxygen isotopic records of benthonic foraminifera at Site 1143, southern South China Sea indicates that,since about 900 ka,the increasing opal content and MAR during the interglacial periods is inferred to reflect the bigher surface productivity ,for the intensified summer monsoon during the interglacial periods would result in the enhanced upwelling and nutrient supply,Time-sequence spectral analyses of oxygen isotopic record ,opal content and MAR at intervals of 0-900 ka reveal that the changes of surface productivity were dominantly forced by the variations of the earth orbital cycles.     

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.     

Palaeoclimatic distribution models predict Pleistocene refuges for the Neotropical harvestman Geraeocormobius sylvarum (Arachnida: Opiliones: Gonyleptidae)

This paper primarily aims to test a Pleistocene refuge-type scenario, as previously proposed for the gonyleptid Geraeocormobius sylvarum, a semi-deciduous forests dweller in subtropical Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Palaeodistributional models of this species were built using MaxEnt for two Last Glacial Maximum (LGM = 21,000 years ago) simulations – Community Climate System Model (CCSM) and Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MIROC) – and for 6000 years ago (?6k = HCO, the Holocene climatic optimum). Both LGM models retrieved a fragmented pattern. For CCSM, range was split into multiple, scattered fragments. MIROC resulted in very few patches, with a decided range reduction because of a strong humidity drop. Models for ?6k recovered a moderate range expansion. No past connection between the core area and the yungas was predicted. Analysis of variables importance showed that two precipitation predictors (bc18, precipitation warmest quarter; bc14, precipitation driest month) and two temperature predictors (bc7, temperature annual range; bc9, mean temperature driest quarter) scored as the most influencing overall. The Limiting Factor analysis recognized them as limiting too, in different parts of the species range. LGM palaeomodels of G. sylvarum are compatible with the refuge hypothesis invoked in previous molecular analyses, to explain the high genetic diversity found in the core area. Additionally, the results reinforced the hypothesis of the recent anthropogenic origin of the yungas disjunct populations.     

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。     

黄山逍遥溪地区第四纪沉积环境研究

根据对黄山逍遥溪剖面１７个样品的分析，得出下述见解：１粒度参数和ＣＭ图象反映，该处沉积物大都未经改造就进入新环境，反映近源沉积的多变的环境。２．Ｆｅ＾３＋／Ｆｅ＾２＋含量测定表明，该处第四纪期间最低年均气温并未低于０℃，因此不具备冰发育的条件，３、该剖面ＣａＯ的淋溶强于黄土发育区，氧化和的比值反映出多数情况下较高年均气温与多雨期一致，反之亦然。４．孢粉样品揭示中更新世至多经历过从温暖→干凉→湿热
