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.     

Isotopic evolution of the terminal Neoproterozoic and early Cambrian carbon cycle on the northern Yangtze Platform, South China

Profound geotectonic, climatic and biological changes occur during the terminal Neoproterozoic and its transition into the early Cambrian. These are reflected in temporal variations of the chemical and isotopic composition of seawater. We are studying a sequence of sedimentary rocks at the Shatan section, northern Yangtze Platform, Sichuan Province of China. This succession comprises, in ascending stratigraphic order, predominantly calcareous sediments of the Sinian upper Dengying Formation and black shales of the lower Cambrian Guojiaba Formation (time equivalent of Niutitang Fm.). Paleoenvironmental setting represents shallow-water shelf deposits. The objective of our study is to provide temporal records for the isotopic compositions of organic and carbonate carbon throughout this time interval. Organic carbon isotope values display a range between -35.8‰ and -30.1‰ with clear stratigraphic variations. Carbonate carbon isotope data vary between -3.5‰ and +0.5‰. These secular variations are interpreted to reflect perturbations of the global carbon cycle, specifically changes in the fractional burial of organic carbon. However, local conditions have further affected the isotopic signals.     

北淮阳带新元古代花岗质侵入体的特征及大地构造意义

近些年来 ,在北淮阳带地层研究方面的主要进展之一 ,是将以前建立的一些变质岩群解体成不同时代、不同性质的构造地层或岩石地层单位 ,并重新厘定了它们的含义和分布。最近从原卢镇关群、佛子岭群、梅山群中识别出了较多变形花岗质岩体 ,马文璞等运用单颗粒锆石 U- Pb法测得四个变形花岗岩的年龄为 74 4± 9Ma和 665± 3 9Ma,属新元古代。岩石化学和元素地球化学分析表明 ,这些变形花岗岩的 R1 变化主要范围为 1 93 4～ 2 768,Ga/Al值位于1 .72～ 3 .61范围内。在 Zr,Nb,Ce,Y - Ga/A l图解上 ,它们主要落入后造山 ( PA)型花岗岩区 ;在 R1 - Ga/Al图解上 ,也属于后造山 ( PA)型花岗岩。上述事实可能意味着 ,Rodinia泛大陆的汇聚发生在新元古代变形花岗岩侵入之前 ,但随后即开始了拉张活动     

生态纪元

现在人类所面对的地球上的种种变化已经超出了地球的承受能力，产生了全球危机。在地球的地质——生命历史中，这是继古生代末期和中生代末期物种大批灭绝之后的第三次终结。宏观生物学强调对地球整体的理解。它涉及五个领域——陆地，水，空气，生命，人类的思维。人类思维所产生的技术如果不能与自然界的技术相兼容的话，人类必然受到自然的惩罚。采用与自然相容的技术，走向生态纪元是必然的发展过程。满足生态纪的五个基本条件包括：理解宇宙是一个交流的主体，而不是客体的堆积；实现地球的可持续生存；认识到地球是时间沉积的馈赠；要实现地球是原初本原，人类只是其发展演化出来的产物；实现单一的地球共同体的存在。走向生态纪，还需要创造性、伟大的故事，人类有效的回应以及生态纪的语言。     

基于注意力机制的红外小目标检测方法

针对红外小目标占用像素较少、背景相似性强、网络容易受到背景杂波信息干扰的问题,提出了一种基于注意力机制的红外小目标检测方法。利用注意力机制模块抑制背景杂波,增强小目标特征,并使用红外小目标检测模块实现检测任务;为了增强网络鲁棒性,通过高斯噪声与原图通道堆叠输入的数据增强方式提升网络抗杂波干扰的能力。实验表明,提出的方法在MDvsFA数据集中的性能超过了目前最新的对比算法。     

Discovery of the budding phosphatized globular fossils from the Neoproterozoic Doushantuo Formation at Weng’an, Guizhou Province, China

There is much debate on biological affinities of the phosphatized globular fossils from the Neoproterozoic Doushantuo phosphorites at Weng’an, Guizhou Province. Here we report for the first time the budding structures of some of these globular fossils, which have previously been interpreted as the resting eggs and early cleavage embryos of metazoans. The budding structures are similar to the germinating tubes of the spore and zygote of living algae, suggesting that some globular fossils from the Doushantuo phosphorites bear affinity with algae. The present new information indicated various biological affinity of the phosphatized globular fossils from the Doushantuo phosphorites.

C-isotope composition and correlation of the Upper Neoproterozoic in Keping area, Xinjiang

C-isotope analysis of the carbonates in the Upper Neoproterozoic in Keping, Xinjiang indicates that the Qigebrak Formation and the Upper Sugaitbrak Formation mainly record positive C-isotope values, and a distinct positive excursion occurs in the lower part of the Qigebrak Formation. There are three negative excursions in the boundary between the Qigebrak Formation and the Cambrian, the uppermost and lowermost Upper Sugaitbrak Formation. These characters resemble those of the Upper Neoproterozoic in the Three-Gorge area, which suggests that the Upper Sugaitbrak Formation and Qigebrak Formation can be correlated with the middle and upper parts of the Doushantuo Formation and Dengying Formation, respectively. The negative excursion at the top of the Upper Sugaitbrak Formation corresponds to that at the top of the Doushantuo Formation, while the negative excursion at the bottom of the Sugaitbrak Formation can be correlated with that at the middle part of the Doushantuo Formation in the Three-Gorge area and that at the top of the Hangelchaok diamictites in the Quruqtagh area.     

云南景谷盆地及陇川盆地新生代生物群特征及环境地质意义

通过对云南景谷盆地及陇川盆地新生代生物群特征的对比,探讨了新生代两大盆地环境演变:早中新世到上新世为湖盆发展期→湖盆扩大→萎缩期,气候为早期的干燥→中新世早期的温暖湿润→中新世中晚期的寒冷阴湿→上新世的干燥,而中新世中晚期湖盆的扩大形成的半深湖-深湖环境为油气的形成提供了有利条件。尽管两大盆地在沉积环境的演化上大体一致,但气候和沉积环境的演变和差异决定了两大断陷盆地生物面貌上的差异,从而直接控制了化石燃料形成的类型和质量
