捷克黄土的磁学性质及古气候意义 总被引：10，自引：2，他引：10
对捷克Znojmo剖面末次间冰期以来黄土-古土壤序列进行了较为详细的岩石磁学和X射线衍射实验研究, 结果表明捷克黄土-古土壤磁化率变化与中国黄土高原风成沉积物具有相似的特征, 即土壤化作用使磁化率升高. 磁化率随温度的变化特征和等温剩磁测定以及X射线衍射实验揭示出Znojmo剖面黄土和古土壤的主要磁性矿物是磁铁矿, 并含有少量的磁赤铁矿、赤铁矿和黄铁矿或磁黄铁矿以及针铁矿. 磁化率各向异性研究表明, Znojmo剖面黄土和古土壤的磁线理小于磁面理, 这说明磁化率椭球体为压扁形, 最大轴的方向呈现随机分布特征, 不能指示大气传输尘埃沉积时的古风向. 相似文献

对甘肃西山坪遗址剖面样品进行磁化率、频率磁化率、热磁分析、非磁滞剩磁和等温剩磁等一系列岩石磁学实验测试,分析环境磁学参数特征变化,试图探讨西山坪遗址研究意义,为今后深入研究该沉积序列蕴含的古环境记录提供了岩石磁学基础.结果表明：西山坪遗址剖面沉积物中磁性矿物主要以低矫顽力的磁铁矿和磁赤铁矿为主,高矫顽力磁性矿物赤铁矿含量极其有限,越向剖面表层,强磁性矿物含量逐渐增加.磁性矿物颗粒表现出黄土的典型特征,以单畴、准单畴为主,含有一定量的超顺磁颗粒,颗粒度越向剖面表层越细.从物源上看,遗址沉积物主要来自近源的黄土风尘堆积,主要是风成堆积,并混合大量人类活动信息,给今后综合研究岩石磁学与人类活动特征的关系有一定借鉴意义. 相似文献

盆地内细粒沉积物的磁组构特征可以记录盆地发育演化的关键构造信息.然而,反转盆地内细粒沉积物的磁组构有何特征,其与盆地发育和反转变形有何关系,目前仍需要深入探索.针对这一问题,本文以东、西秦岭分界处的白垩纪徽成盆地为例,在野外构造观察的基础上,对该盆地内的细粒沉积岩,特别是同沉积断层附近的细粒沉积岩(包括生长地层),开展了系统的岩石磁学、常温和低温磁组构研究.野外观察表明,徽成盆地白垩纪地层内发育了大量NNE走向的正断层,邻近断层的局部区域可见露头尺度的生长地层.盆地内细粒沉积物的磁化率值总体较低,岩石磁学实验表明,磁化率主要由顺磁性矿物控制,但也含有少量磁铁矿和赤铁矿等铁磁性矿物的贡献.常温和低温磁组构特征都表明,徽成盆地白垩纪地层内透入性的发育了NWW-SEE向的磁线理,与主要的(同沉积)正断层垂直或高角度相交,并显示出初始变形组构的特征,记录了盆地发育时以NWW-SEE向拉张为主的古应力信息.这一伸展应力场与控制徽成盆地发育的文县—太白断裂带呈锐夹角,表明断裂带在盆地发育时以左行走滑伸展为主.此外,与常温磁组构相比,低温磁组构显著提高了顺磁性组构的信号强度,突显了磁组构的优势方位,可以更为有效的反映岩石组构和应变信息.尽管徽成盆地白垩纪地层经历多期次构造变形,但其初始变形组构并未明显改造,为解析盆地构造属性提供了重要信息. 相似文献

西安市道路表面灰尘样品的环境磁学研究显示磁化率(χ)、非磁滞磁化率（χARM）以及饱和等温剩磁（SIRM）均比较高,表明样品中磁性矿物含量较高.其中磁化率（χ）主要受人类活动强度影响,而非磁滞磁化率（χARM）及饱和等温剩磁（SIRM）则由人为活动强度和磁性矿物种类共同决定.κ-T曲线以及等温剩磁（IRM）获得曲线显示样品中磁铁矿和磁赤铁矿等亚铁磁性矿物占主导,并可能含有少量的单质铁,其相对含量与人类活动种类有关：与单纯的交通排放及冶金活动相比,密集的人群流动可带来更多的单质铁矿物.磁畴图谱显示磁性矿物粒径变化不大,以准单畴及多畴颗粒等粗颗粒为主,明显大于成土作用形成的磁性颗粒.综合磁性矿物含量种类以及粒径可辨别污染及污染来源,提供污染监测的磁学手段,并初步进行污染来源划分. 相似文献

对黄土高原由北向南分布的靖边、宜川和段家坡3个采样点上,黄土-古土壤序列黄土层L8和古土壤层S8详细的岩石磁学实验表明1)从北到南,高场磁化率逐渐增高,反映了粘土矿物含量增加,土壤化作用加强的趋势;2)3个采样点黄土层的低场磁化率基本相同,而古土壤层S8的低场磁化率则表现为宜川高于靖边,而段家坡剖面磁化率低于宜川剖面磁化率的特征,表明低场磁化率值的大小与土壤化作用、古降雨量之间的关系是很复杂的;3)随着磁化率的升高,超顺磁性颗粒的含量明显增加,但磁性矿物含量的增加对磁化率增强的影响可能大于磁性矿物粒度变化的影响;4)3个剖面黄土层L8的磁化率-温度曲线形状基本相同,磁赤铁矿相对含量与土壤化作用成正相关.对古土壤层S8而言,段家坡剖面的温度磁化率曲线稍微不同于其他两个采样点,可能是由于磁性矿物粒度的差异造成的. 相似文献

以热磁分析为主,对中国北方泥河湾盆地更新世河湖相地层中灰绿色粉砂和灰黄色粉砂/细砂两种典型沉积物进行了详细的岩石磁学研究,有效确定了这两类沉积物中磁性矿物的种类、粒度特征以及加热过程中磁性矿物的变化过程和产物,并对其包含的古环境意义进行了初步探讨.灰绿色粉砂样品主要含有磁铁矿和赤铁矿两种磁性矿物,磁性相对较弱,颗粒相对较细;灰黄色粉砂/细砂主要含有磁铁矿和磁赤铁矿,磁性相对较强,颗粒相对较粗.在氩气环境中经700℃加热处理后,这两种沉积物中的绿泥石都分解,并生成超细粒（处于超顺磁和单畴颗粒区间）的磁铁矿,导致磁化率大幅升高.因此泥河湾盆地沉积物的热磁特征可以用来检测样品中绿泥石的相对含量,进而反映该地区化学风化作用强度的变化.此外,灰绿色粉砂样品中绿泥石含量比灰黄色粉砂/细砂样品的含量高,在氩气中加热后,磁化率升高幅度也较高,可能反映了化学风化相对较弱的沉积环境. 相似文献

本研究选择川西高原、天山和西伯利亚Kurtak剖面的黄土古土壤样品及亚热带非风成样品进行CBD处理,系统测量并对比处理前后的磁学参数,包括低频磁化率、频率磁化率、非磁滞剩磁、饱和等温剩磁、剩磁矫顽力和热磁曲线(J-T曲线),分析处理前后磁性矿物种类、含量和磁畴的变化.结果表明,CBD方法对于磁性矿物的溶解并无明显的选择性,在温度与反应时间一定的条件下,磁性矿物的溶出量主要受控于其粒径分布.CBD方法可以非常有效地去除具有更大比表面积的细粒(< 1 μm)磁性矿物,同时溶解粗粒(>1 μm)磁性矿物外缘,使其粒径变细.CBD处理后磁化率变化存在多种可能,对于成土作用较强的古土壤,CBD方法可以较为准确地提取成土成因的磁性信息;而干旱和过度湿润条件下的风积黄土,不宜使用CBD方法区分原生与次生磁性矿物. 相似文献

南黄海东南部冰后期泥质沉积物中磁性矿物的成岩变化及其对环境变化的响应 总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8
YSDP103孔位于南黄海东南部冷涡泥质沉积区, 0~29.79 m岩心代表约13 ka BP以来形成的陆架泥质沉积物, 其下段(A2段, 29.79~13.35 m)是在冰后期海侵直至全新世中期(约6 ka BP(14C测定))海平面达到最高这段时间内形成的, 而上段(A1段, 13.35~0 m)则是在冰后期海侵达到最高海平面之后伴随着黄海暖流的形成而出现的冷涡环境中沉积的. 笔者对YSDP103孔0~29.79 m岩心开展了详细的岩石磁学研究, 结果表明, 钻孔岩心的磁性组分主要是磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿和赤铁矿, 除了最上部2.35 m外, 其磁性矿物遭受了还原成岩作用, 磁性矿物的含量和低矫顽力组分的比例都显著降低. 铁磁性硫化物(胶黄铁矿)存在于A2段, 但在A1段缺失, 表明了海洋环境条件对磁性矿物成岩过程的控制. 磁学参数在A1和A2段的界线处发生突变, 反映了环境条件和原始磁性组分的差异对成岩作用的共同影响. 在A2段磁学参数的高、低值层段交替出现, 可能反映在A2段沉积期间进入沉积区的碎屑磁性矿物在含量的多、少和/或粒度的粗、细上出现周期性变化. 相似文献

一般认为磁组构能有效地反映岩石所经历的应变特征.为了研究不同类型的磁组构和不同期次应变之间的关系,对来自华南地块两个地区的早三叠世灰岩样品进行了岩石磁学、磁组构以及应变特征的对比分析.来自湖北通山县的样品经历了三期构造变形,这为解析磁组构和多期次应变提供了理想的机会.岩石磁学结果显示携磁矿物主要为磁铁矿.磁化率各向异性（AMS）和非磁滞剩磁各向异性（AAR）结果显示其最小轴与层面垂直,最大轴和中间轴分布于层面内,反映了沉积和压实作用产生的应变,而后期构造应变在磁组构中没有体现.来自广东连县的样品发育有渗透性压溶缝面理和方解石脉,说明经历了构造应变.AMS结果没有显示占优势的组构方向.AAR结果显示三轴组构,其最大轴分布于最大应力方位,与构造应变特征吻合,最初的压实组构被构造应变组构所代替.上述结果表明：（1）AAR可以很好地反映渗透性应变的特征,而AMS有时会失效;（2）应变的尺度要小于样品的尺度,磁组构才能有效地反映应变. 相似文献

福州盆地位于海陆过渡地带,在海陆变迁过程中,沉积物记录了高分辨率的环境信息,是揭示沉积特征对环境变化响应过程及模式的理想区域.本文选择位于福州盆地的FZ5钻孔进行岩石磁学、环境磁学和古地磁学方面的研究,以期阐明该区域沉积物磁学性质对陆源碎屑输入、海平面变化和成岩作用的响应.岩石磁学结果表明钻孔沉积物以低矫顽力的亚铁磁性矿物为主体,但是在不同的环境变化阶段,磁性矿物的类型有较大变化.在9~3 cal. ka BP的海侵过程中,沉积物中以磁铁矿为主体,存在菱铁矿和铁硫化物等还原性矿物.硫化作用使细粒磁铁矿溶解形成胶黄铁矿和黄铁矿,其峰面随碎屑磁性矿物的浓度变化而迁移.但硫化作用没有完全消除磁铁矿携带的特征剩磁和陆源碎屑输入量以及海平面升降对该阶段沉积物磁性的控制.在~3 cal. ka BP以来随着海平面下降、沉积环境向陆相氧化环境转化,虽然早期还原作用仍然存在,但后期氧化作用使磁性矿物向高矫顽力的赤铁矿等矿物转变,氧化作用基本扰乱了磁铁矿携带的剩磁.沉积及其后期成岩作用过程中,发生在约~8.2、~7.7、~7.5、~2.7、~1.5、~0.5 cal. ka BP六次强烈的古氧化界面反映了福州盆地当时异常干旱或湿热的气候事件. 相似文献

Located at the northeastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) in the Asian interior, the Lake Qinghai is sensitive to environmental change and thus an outstanding site for studying paleoenvironmental changes. Thick deposits in the Lake Qinghai provide important geological archives for obtaining high-resolution records of continental environmental history. The longest drilling core obtained from the Lake Qinghai, named Erlangjian (ELJ), reached about 1109 m and was investigated to determine its clay mineral assemblage and grain size distributions. Clay mineralogical proxies, including type, composition, and their ratios, as well as the illite crystallinity (KI) and chemical index (CI), in combination with grain size data, were used for reconstructing the history of paleoenvironmental evolution since the late Miocene in the Lake Qinghai Basin. The clay mineral records indicate that the clay mainly comprise detritus originating from peripheral material and has experienced little or no diagenesis. The proportion of authigenic origin was minor. Illite was the most abundant clay mineral, followed by chlorite, kaolinite, and smectite. Variations of clay mineral indexes reflect the cooling and drying trends in the Lake Qinghai region, and the grain size distribution is coincided with the clay minerals indexes. The paleoclimatic evolution of the Lake Qinghai Basin since the late Miocene can be divided into five intervals. The climate was relatively warm and wet in the early of late Miocene, then long-term trends in climate change character display cooling and drying; later in the late Miocene until early Pliocene the climate was in a short relatively warm and humid period; since then the climate was relatively colder and drier. These results also suggest multiple tectonic uplift events in the northeastern QTP. 相似文献

边缘海-陆架区是研究海陆交互作用的理想区域，该区沉积物记录了海平面、气候与构造变化的重要信息.渤海作为我国的内海，前人对该区虽然进行了环境磁学方面的研究，但是受复杂的沉积环境影响，渤海沉积物的磁性变化机制十分复杂，因而需要对该区沉积物磁学性质及变化机制进行深入研究.针对这一问题，本文详细研究了渤海BH08孔岩芯沉积物的磁学性质，结果表明：①沉积物中主要载磁矿物是磁铁矿，部分层位含有高矫顽力的矿物；②岩芯整体磁学性质变化复杂，各项磁学参数变化剧烈，其总体波动与S/Cl值、沉积物红度a*和深海底栖有孔虫δ18O相关性较好；③在主要的海陆交替边界层位发现胶黄铁矿，表明是富硫的弱还原环境，而快速变化的沉积环境和较高的沉积速率是胶黄铁矿得以保存的重要因素，因而胶黄铁矿可作为沉积环境发生转变的一种特征矿物.这些新认识为深入开展渤海地区，乃至陆架-边缘海区古环境研究提供了新的思路和方法. 相似文献

In many anoxic sedimentary environments, the onset of sulfate reduction, and pyritization of detrital iron-bearing minerals, leads to a precipitous decline in magnetic mineral concentration during early diagenesis. The usefulness of the surviving paleomagnetic record in such environments is usually argued to depend on how much of the primary detrital magnetic assemblage survives diagenetic dissolution. Detailed rock magnetic and electron microscope analyses of rapidly deposited (~ 7 cm/kyr) latest Pleistocene–Holocene sediments from the continental margins of Oman (22°22.4′N, 60°08.0′E) and northern California (38°24.8′N, 123°58.2′W) demonstrate that pyritization during early diagenesis also leads to the progressive down-core growth of the ferrimagnetic iron sulfide greigite. Greigite growth begins with nucleation of large concentrations of superparamagnetic (SP) nanoparticles at the inferred position of the sulfate–methane transition, which can explain the apparently paradoxical suggestion that diagenetically reduced sediments contain enhanced concentrations of SP particles. Looping of hysteresis parameters on a “Day” plot records the dissolution of single domain (SD) (titano-)magnetite and the formation of SP greigite, which then slowly and progressively grows through its SD blocking volume and acquires a stable paleomagnetic signal. This looping trend is also evident in data from several published records (Oregon margin, Korea Strait, Japan Sea, Niger Fan, Argentine margin, and the Ontong–Java Plateau), indicating that these processes may be widespread in reducing environments. Our observations have profound implications for paleomagnetic records from sulfate-reducing environments. The paleomagnetic signal recorded by greigite is offset from the age of the surrounding sediments by 10's of kyr, and ongoing growth of greigite at depth results in smoothing of the recorded signal over intervals of 10's to 100's of kyr. We therefore expect the presence of greigite to compromise paleomagnetic records in a wide range of settings that have undergone reductive diagenesis. 相似文献

Core YSDP103 was retrieved in the muddy deposit under the cold eddy of the southeastern South Yellow Sea, and the uppermost 29.79 m core represents the muddy sediments formed in the shelf since about 13 ka BP. The lower part from 29.79 to 13.35 m, called Unit A2, was deposited during the period from the post-glacial transgression to the middle Holocene (at about 6 14C ka BP) when the rising sea level reached its maximum, while the upper part above 13.35 m (called Unit A1) was deposited in a cold eddy associated with the formation of the Yellow Sea Warm Current just after the peak of post-glacial sea level rise. Rock-magnetic properties of the uppermost 29.79 m core were investigated in detail. The experimental results indicate that the magnetic mineralogy of the core is dominated by magnetite, maghemite and hematite and that, except for the uppermost 2.35 m, the magnetic minerals were subject to reductive diagene-sis leading to significant decline of magnetic mineral content and the proportion of low-coe 相似文献

青海湖是我国环境研究中的一个热点地区,近年来137Cs计年技术已在这一地区得到广泛的应用.已报道的青海湖沉积物中137Cs垂直分布曲线显示,剖面最表层0-1 cm泥沙的137Cs浓度约60 Bq/kg,大致为峰值浓度的2/3,远超过近年来大气沉降137Cs所应带来的沉积水平为查明青海湖表层底泥中放射性同位素137Cs的来源,深入理解湖泊沉积过程,本文对青海湖沉积剖面的137Cs面积活度与137Cs本底值、湖泊表层底泥的137Cs浓度与入湖河流洪水沉积泥沙开展了比对研究.结果表明核爆期间的大气直接沉降是青海湖东南湖湾表层沉积物中的137Cs主要来源,约占4/5,风沙和入湖径流河沙的间接输入的137Cs仅占1/5而最表层0-1 cm的沉积物中137Cs很可能主要来源于底泥扰动,在这样的情况下,利用沉积岩芯开展青海湖环境研究时,分辨率的选取需要慎重考虑这一因素. 相似文献

Magnetofossils in the sediment of Lake Baikal, Siberia 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
A multidisciplinary approach involving rock-magnetics, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction was used to identify a biogenic magnetite component in the Lake Baikal, Siberia, sedimentary magnetic record. The distinctive biogenic component to the magnetic record occurs as chains of single-domain, elongate hexagonal and tear-drop cone-shaped magnetite particles. These magnetofossils are inferred to be magnetosomes produced by magnetotactic bacteria living in the surficial sediment throughout Lake Baikal. Postdepositional reduction diagenesis results in the loss of the fine-grained magnetofossils at depth. In addition, this study shows that the fine-grained magnetofossils are removed by the process of storage diagenesis during long periods (21 months) of core storage, which results in a change to a coarser grained, slightly higher coercivity bulk magnetic mineral assemblage. Although the Lake Baikal sedimentary magnetic record has several distinct and complex components, by determining their origin this study has shown that the sediments are well suited for environmental magnetic study. 相似文献

对白令海北部陆坡B5-4孔进行了古地磁和岩石磁学研究,尝试获得该岩芯的地磁场相对强度和方向变化信息.结果表明:(1)除0~0.44 m沉积物的磁性矿物粒度比其余沉积物细以外,岩芯的磁学性质总体均一,其记录的地磁场相对强度可以与北大西洋ODP983孔相应记录进行高度对比.(2)根据B5-4孔与ODP983孔地磁场相对强度记录对比结果,并结合该孔4.54~4.56 m处有孔虫AMS14C测年结果,可以确定3个深度-年龄对比点,并据此初步建立了B5-4孔的年龄模型.(3)B5-4孔磁偏角和磁倾角记录与贝加尔湖、北美、欧洲全新世以来的记录和当地地磁场球谐模型结果一致,其对比点丰富了强度对比点年龄模型,揭示了14 cal ka B.P.以来近线性的沉积模式.(4)根据与中国东部陆架两个钻孔的磁倾角对比,我们推测B5-4孔9~14 ka之间两段浅化的磁倾角可能是哥德堡极性事件的记录,但是受到早期成岩或者沉积物平滑效应的影响.以上结果足以证明,地磁场相对强度和方向变化可以从适宜的白令海沉积物中获得,它可以为确定该海区沉积物年龄提供相关辅助信息,有助于解决北极、亚北极古环境和古海洋研究中由于有孔虫等钙质生物壳体缺乏导致的年龄信息匮乏问题. 相似文献

With the lateral and vertical expansion of cities, urban geology becomes critical for urban construction. Wuhan City, as one of the largest cities in China, was chosen by China Geological Survey as pilot city to study multiple elements of urban geological survey. 90% of Wuhan area is covered by Quaternary strata, which means that most of the city is built on Quaternary sediments. The study of Quaternary stratigraphic structure of Wuhan area is a crucial groundwork for the urban geological survey of Wuhan. Due to the badly lagging of research on Quaternary stratigraphy of Wuhan area, this study selects four boreholes from hundreds of cores in this area in the project of Wuhan Urban Geological Survey for magnetic stratigraphic study and paleomagnetic analysis. This work mainly focuses on the borehole SK2 which possesses well-developed strata and is representative for magnetic strata division. Wuhan is located in the eastern Jianghan Basin where the Quaternary sediment has a fluctuant bottom edge, forming a half-graben shape boundary in large scale, as revealed by a large amount of boreholes. The borehole SK2 is located in the western Dongxi Lake depression. SK2 reveals continuous deep Quaternary sediment except for a short gap of late Pleistocen-early Holcene. Moreover, the grain size of drill core is generally smaller than other cores nearby, which is more suitable for paleomagnetic study.
In this study, we collected 117 samples with an interval of 0.25~0.30m from relative fine grain layers in the borehole for paleomagnetic study. Demagnetization and sample measurement were conducted in State Key Laboratory of Loess and Quaternary Geology, Institute of Earth Environment, CAS. By comparing with other well dated cores nearby, Wuhan's Quaternary magnetic stratigraphic chronology framework is initially established. Our data show that:1)the Brunhes-Matsuyama boundary(B/M)of borehole SK2 is clear, locating at 29.6m, and sediment at 1.2~29.6m belongs to Bmnhes normal polarity chron; 2)Two polarity drifts at 9.3~9.6m and 14.1~15.0m are observed in Brunhes. These samples collected from the Xiashu Loess yield two polarity drifts, which can be compared with the Xiashu Loess at Nanjing. The comparison between Xiashu Loess from borehole SK2 and that at Nanjing suggests that negative polarity drift at 14.1~15.0m is the Blake reverse polarity subchron(0.104~0.128Ma BP)and the polarity drifts at 9.3~9.6m(0.07~0.08Ma BP)is Norwegian-Greenland Sea reversal-polarity subchron; 3)Three polarity drifts were observed in Matsuyama, which is comparable with the borehole at Zhoulao and the borehole R25 in the center of the Jianghan Basin. They are at 38.2~39.8m(Jaramillo:0.99~1.07Ma BP), 66.5~71.9m(Olduvai:1.77~1.95Ma BP)and 75.8m(Reunion:2.01Ma BP); 4)Based on the forementioned paleomagnetic data, the depositional age structure of this borehole is:1.2~14.1m(late Pleistocene), 15~29.6m(middle Pleistocene)and 29.6~78.8m(early Pleistocene); 5)Our data show that deposition rate increased during 1.47~1.57Ma BP(54.9~61.3m)and 1.07~1.21Ma BP(39.8~47.3m)because they are fluvial sediments. This study builds the Quaternary stratigraphy and timescale for Wuhan area for the first time. However, because of the complex Quaternary sediment type in Wuhan area and the coarse sediment in the Matuyama, more comprehensive study is needed in the future to test whether our Quaternary stratigraphy and timescale is the best. 相似文献
