The palynological analysis of the core samples from the interval 1722–1777 m of well IVCO-25, located in the Abidjan margin, has revealed a rich microflora composed of Pteridophyta and Chlorophyta spores combined with Palmaceae and Proteaceae pollen grains. This palynoflora suggests a vegetation developed under a hot and humid tropical climate, suggestive of estuarine conditions. The microplankton, composed of various species of dinocysts, were indicative of a Campanian age for the studied interval. 相似文献

The drilling of new cores performed for ANDRA in eastern France allowed us to compare palynological data between central and eastern parts of the Paris Basin. Such a comparison, which was also motivated by the existence of a set of geochemical data in contradiction with the first palynological results, showed a spatial differentiation in palynological record from the Oxfordian. Such a palynological signal could result from overlapping of both local and global signals, the latter being in connection with the contemporaneous opening of proto-Atlantic Ocean. It could also be of major palaeogeographic and palaeoclimatic interest. To cite this article: V. Huault et al., C. R. Geoscience 335 (2003). 相似文献

The detailed analysis of pellets deposited on the continental shelf off Congo and Gabon (Gulf of Guinea) reveals the present formation of goethite and berthierine-granules, as well as that of glauconite. The goethite is being formed in the most oxygenized zones, independently of the initial nature of the granular support and, sometimes, takes the form of pseudooolites. The berthierine is being formed in the Ogooue delta zone. To us the deltaic environment, rather than the temperature factor, seems determinant. Principally, this berthierine is found in the form of coprolites, of initial kaolinic composition. Incrustations of calcareous debris and fillings of animalculae tests are present. This genesis is recent (post-Flandrian) and is still continuing. The glauconite exists practically uniquely in the form of coprolites, from the medium-depth zones of the continental shelf (—50 m) down to the upper continental slope (—300 m). The sèdiment in which it was formed, and is probably still being formed, is older (ante-Flandrian). The actual rate of sedimention is null when glauconite is forming. The glauconite formation may be broken down into several stages, which are found at different sampling depths and, sometimes, in the same samples. The pellets are formed first. These original pellets, of kaolinic nature, gradually become smectitic. The evolution continues, becoming a component with diffractometric behaviour identical with that of an interlayered material (illite-vermiculite) with the illite dominant. Correlatively, the K2O percentage increases from 2–3% in the smectites to 5–6% in the most evolved component. The mineralogical composition of these last pellets is identical with that of certain fossil glauconites, the evolution of which could be followed up to the best crystallized glauconite mineral. Thus, we were able to reconstitute the formation history of the glauconite from any mineralogical support up to the typical glauconite mineral (Table l). Two conditions necessary for this formation are detected here: the time factor, as has often been pointed out, is important. However, it is, above all, the environment factor which has attracted our attention. The forming of pellets favours and determines the geo-chemical evolution through the creation of a semi-confined environment. Reactions take place there in a more concentrated environment than in the open sea, this environment is characterized by a large surface of reaction, since the granule is porous. Sedimentologically, it is possible to distinguish two groups of glauconites: one, monomineral, corresponds to more or less crystallized glauconite mineral; the other, plurimineral, consists of various TOT minerals. Only the first has the significance generally attributed to all glauconites : open epicontinental marine environment, free of sedimentation for a long time. The various cases of evolution encountered here are summarized below (Table 1). 相似文献

The Essaouira synclinal zone is one of the Moroccan semi-arid zones with annual rainfalls not exceeding 300 mm yr−1 and very high potential evapo-transpiration of about 920 mm yr−1. This syncline with a Senonian axial zone is bordered by two diapiric structures of Triassic deposits: the Tidzi Diapir that outcrops in the east and south, and the hidden Essaouira diapir in the west, which was found by geophysics. This syncline contains two main superimposed aquifers. (i) The Plio-Quaternary aquifer consists of sands, sandstone and conglomerates and provides the main part of the water supply. This free-water table flows out towards the northwest and its surface is affected by significant piezometric variations. (ii) The calcareous dolomitic Turonian is a confined aquifer under the Senonian marls in the and in direct contact with the Plio-Quaternary. For a few years, the drinking water supply to the town of Essaouira has come from deep drillings.These two aquifers were sampled in June 1995 and in Januray 1996 after exceptional rainfalls. All waters have the same geochemical profile. The interpretation of the total dissolved solids and chloride content of Plio-Quaternary aquifers makes it possible to specify their origins. It emphasises, in particular, the source from the Ksob Wadi in the northeast and the role of the hidden Essaouira diapir. Nitrate levels were raised excessively, increasing at the same time as chloride concentrations during the rains of the winter of 1996, and underline the wells vulnerability to pastoral and domestic activities.The interpretation of O- and H-isotopes distinguishes two contrasting Plio-Quaternary and Turonian aquifers with an Atlantic origin for the rain recharge. A specific campaign was varried out in November 1996 to date water from the Turonian aquifer by 14C. Two boreholes draw water of several thousands years old. 相似文献

In the East of Montagne Noire (South Massif Central), the granitic Mendic massif and the porphyroïds have been dated as 510±20 m.y. with a corresponding initial ratio of 0.706±0.001. Within the limits of the analytical errors, we cannot distinguish between two separate isochrons. The Mendic-porphyroïds represents a volcano-plutonic association. The age of 510 m.y. is somewhat younger than the one determined on the orthogneisses of the Central zone (530 m.y.). It can be connected to a post-orogenic magmatism of the cadomian orogenesis. At last the Sr of the minerals of the Mendic massif has been partially remobilised during the hercynian orogeny (285 m. y.). 相似文献

An important volcanism of Late Triassic age is known from SW Cyprus. It occurs in the Mamonia nappe system emplaced during the Late Maastrichtian. Three main volcanic episodes interbedded with detrital and pelagic sediments can be seen from the base to the top:
1. (1) pyroclastic rocks (breccias, tuffs) associated with coarse-grained sandstone, suggesting explosive eruptions in grabens
2. (2) basaltic or andesitic pillowed flows, interbedded first with fine-grained sandstone and small Halobia limestone strata, then with pelagic limestones and radiolarian red cherts
3. (3) columnar trachyte flows.
The whole volcanic series belongs to a very differenciated sodic suite with high titanium contents. The Mamonia lavas are very similar to the Afar volcanics and can be considered as belonging to an interplate volcanism in a rift system. This alkaline basaltic suite is found in many places of the East Mediterranean Alpine orogenic domain, especially in the Antalya nappes (South Turkey) and in the Baer-Bassit (Syria). In Greece, a similar volcanism has been noticed (Othrys—Pindos). In Italy there exists a Middle or Late Triassic volcanism with alkaline affinities. Therefore, this Late Triassic magmatism, which is widespread in the whole Mediterranean Alpine region and always in tectonic association with ophiolites, has a very great paleogeographic significance. We thus propose the existence of a rift system associated with an alkaline basaltic suite along the northern edge of the African plate during Norian—Carnian times. Afterwards a mid-oceanic ridge would have been formed during the Jurassic and Cretaceous. To explain this evolution two hypotheses can be proposed:
1. (1) A single mid-Tethysian ridge existed and all the ophiolites (Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, the ‘croissant ophiolitique peri-arabe’) have been thrust from the same area.
2. (2) A marginal sea existed along the mid-Tethysian ridge north of the African plate but separated from the Tethys by a carbonate shelf, where, after the Triassic events, oceanization began with slightly different ophiolites (a large sheeted complex, low-K tholeiites with some calc-alkaline affinities).
Therefore, Troodos, Hatay, Zagros and Oman would not have come from the main ophiolite zone present further north, but from a marginal ocean, now obducted on the African plate. We think that the second hypothesis is more reasonable because the Upper Cretaceous sedimentary cover (Kannaviou Formation) of the Troodos is very similar to the detritic formation present in South Turkey (Kastel Formation) which is known to grade to shelf carbonates belonging to the Arabian plate towards the south. 相似文献

The Zenaga Inlier shows a comprehensive record of the Eburnian and Pan-African Orogenies. The Eburnian is characterised by high-temperature regional metamorphism and complex magmatism. The early (Azguemerzi) granodiorite has an isotopic mantle signature and was emplaced diapirically during the Eburnian Orogeny causing local thermal metamorphism. The foliation observed in this granitoid is a result of the interference between its primary syn-emplacement foliation and the regional foliation under amphibolite-facies conditions. The northern part of Zenaga has been intruded by the leucocratic granites of Tazenakht. These granites are cut by mylonites and phyllonites, corresponding to the Pan-African shear zones and accompanied with sub-greenschist-facies metamorphism during the Pan-African Orogeny. The deformation was the result of a regional sinistral transpressive event. This study in the northern part of the West African Craton shows the superposition of the Pan-African on the Eburnian Orogeny and the presence of a major fault in the Anti-Atlas. 相似文献

Can we justifiably use a special drying process for measuring water content and dry density on marls containing gypsum so as to avoid errors due to the thermal dehydration of gypsum? In order to give an answer to this question, the author studied the variation of the systematic errors in the measures with measurable parameters such as temperature, length of drying time, gypsum content and water content. He also examined the incertitude due to the non-numerical parameters of dispersion, such as the nature of the tested marls and the size of the gypsum inclusions.
These investigations allowed the author, within the numerical parameters studied, to determine the regions where the precision of the corrections possible justifies the use of special methods of testing. He also shows that the usual way of desiccation below 55°C, is reliable only within a very limited range of water content. 相似文献

In order to reconstruct the past variations of the Southeast Asian monsoon intensity and estimate the sedimentary system reactivity to climatic changes in Southeast Asia over the last 450 kyr, mineralogical and sedimentological analyses have been performed on the terrigenous fraction of the South China Sea sediment. End-member modelling coupled with grain size data discriminates three end-members that determine the nature and intensity of the main sediment transport vectors. Low sea-level stands are characterized by sediment reworking that allows transportation of a coarse end-member (20–40 μm) to the deep-basin. By contrast, the other end-members (4–6 μm; 9–13 μm) are controlled by the shoreline position (sea level) and/or by changes of the rivers capacity transport (monsoon). Finally, aeolian input to the northern margin of the South China Sea can be considered negligible compared to the massive fluvial input and the reworking of the sediments. 相似文献

, and ratios have been measured on the same samples for carbonatite complexes. The results show that besides the ‘carbonatite box’ of Tayloret al. (1967) there exist higher δ18O and δ13C values than can be explained by late magmatic or deuteric processes. These processes correspond to high concentrations of CO2 and lead to big enrichments in 18O and 13C as well as in some ‘volatile’ elements. Strontium results are consistent with a model of selective contamination of deep-seated material by highly radiogenic strontium. The whole study leads to the opinion that parent magmas of carbonatites differentiated in a crustal environment with or without significant contamination. 相似文献

Using analysis of marines cores from the Bay of Biscay as a basis, a system of different episodes of the Upper Pleistocene and the Holocene in the area of the Bay is presented. These episodes are characterized by several sedimentological and micropaleontological observations and particularly by the analysis of the coiling ratio of a few species of planktonic foraminifera. From the cores it is thus possible to determine the Holocene, the Würmian with its four glacial and three interglacial stages, and, at the base of the last glacial stage, the Riss-Würm interglacial or its upper level. 相似文献

A geochronological study of rock-bearing and alluvium gem equality zircons from Espaly (Haute-Loire, France) has been carried out by fission tracks. Fifteen measurements give two age groups for every deposit. An K-Ar age coincides with the youngest group.Added to field observations and previous data these results allow to state with increased precision the lower limit of regional Villafranchian and to place the Espaly basaltic andesites intrusions in the general magmatic evolution in the South-East of French Massif Central.

Numerous occurrences of Neoproterozoic carbonate platforms and glacigenic lithofacies are present around the Congo craton. They are especially well developed on its western and northern borders, i.e. in the forelands of the West Congo and Oubanguides belts. Sr isotopic stratigraphy enables us to characterize the deposition age of some carbonate units from these two domains. The 87Sr/86Sr isotopic ratios of limestones from the late ‘Haut Shiloango’ (0.7068) and the ‘Schisto-calcaire’ (0.7075) of the West-Congo domain are of post-Sturtian and post-Marinoan ages, respectively. The Lenda carbonates (0.7066) from the Northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the limestones (0.7076) from the Bangui Basin, both in the Oubanguides foreland, are of pre-Sturtian and post-Marinoan ages, respectively. These data associated with lithostratigraphic correlations allow us to ascribe the ‘Bas Congo’ lower mixtite (tillite) and the Akwokwo tillite (Lindian) to the Sturtian ice age. In the same way, the ‘Bas Congo’ upper mixtite (tillite) and the Bondo tillite (Bakouma Basin) are likely Marinoan in age. A new synthetic stratigraphy for these Neoproterozoic domains is developed. 相似文献

A paleomagnetic study has been made about the calc-alkaline lavas (Late Oligocene-Middle Miocene age) and the Plio-Quaternary basaltic alkaline lavas of the Logudoro and Bosano (North West Sardinia). This study is based on the chronological scale of the volcanic phases of this part of Sardinia; this scale was established on field observations and K/Ar datings. Hence, the authors propose a sketch of paleomagnetic stratigraphy and discuss the problem of the drifting of Sardinia in the course of Cenozoic time. They are lead to the conclusion that the move of Sardinia terminated at the moment when the calcalkaline lavas flowed into the Logudoro and the Bosano.
Résumé
Une étude paléomagnétique a été réalisée sur les laves calco-alcalines (âge Oligocène terminal-Miocène moyen) et les laves alcalines basaltiques plio—quaternaires du Logudoro et du Bosano (Sardaigne nord-occidentale). Cette étude repose sur l'échelle chronologique des phases volcaniques de cette région de la Sardaigne établie à partir d'observations de terrain et de datations K/Ar. Les auteurs proposent ainsi une ébauche de stratigraphie paléomagnétique et discutent du problème de la dérive de la Sardaigne au cours des temps cénozoïques. Ils sont amenés à conclure que la rotation de la Sardaigne était achevée au moment où les laves calco-alcalines se sont mises en place dans le Logudoro et le Bosano, car le paléomagnétisme de ces laves ne permet pas de mettre en évidence une telle rotation. 相似文献17.
In the present context of climate change and preservation of biodiversity, the appreciation of the vulnerability of the natural ecosystems and their capacity of adaptation appears among the main preoccupations to the world level (GIEC, 2007). This assessment of the ecosystems requires the availability of climatic data, what is often made difficult by the weak density or even the absence of meteorological stations notably, to the level of the mountains zones. In order to study the climate–vegetation relationship in North Algeria, we use an automatic interpolation method, the neural network method, for the reconstitution of climatic data of the sampled sites, (1035 phytoecological samples), from the existing meteorological network (269 stations). This method is characterized by a great suppleness of non-linearity and by its capacity for reconstituting information from partial and not well-defined indications such as the case of data provided from meteorological networks. In order to reconstitution of climatic data, we use the explicate variables, longitude, latitude and altitude, the variables to explain being the rainfall and temperatures. To define the best approach, the network calibration has been activated on climatic parameters taken globally or solely, for the whole of study zone, and by geographical sector. The results of the interpolation are expressed through a climatic parameter cartography, released automatically by the MapInfo software. The reliability results obtained by this method can be appreciated by elaboration of errors maps comparing to reference data. 相似文献

The paleogeographic and particularly palaeoclimatic evolution in the Congo at the end of the Quaternary has been investigated thoroughly with a study of grain surfaces using the scanning electron microscope. The succession of distinct physicochemical environment marks is characterized with the help of other methods (radiocarbon, micropaleontology). During a still-existing tropical climate, arid periods are contemporaneous with regressive phases (eolian, fluviatile, or pedogenetic reliefs of the grains) and humid periods correspond to transgressive phases (infratidal, intertidal, deltaic, lagoonal marks). 相似文献

The study area is the N’zi watershed, sub-watershed of the Bandama River (Ivory Coast). The N’zi watershed is located between longitudes 3°49′ and 5°22′ West and latitudes 6°00′ and 9°26′ North and covers an area of 35,500 km2. This study aims to identify trends in the rainfall-runoff relationship by using a monthly conceptual model. The methodology has consisted on the one hand in highlighting the existence of interannual climate and hydrological variability by using the method of segmentation of Hubert, and on the other hand, in applying the crossed simulations method by using the GR2M model, over several 7-year sub-periods. The results of the application of the method of segmentation of Hubert have demonstrated the presence of a hydroclimatic variability in the N’zi watershed. The modifications of the climate and physical conditions of the flow resulted in a modification of the hydrological response of the watershed translated by a non-stationarity in the rainfall-runoff relation. 相似文献

The Fe and Al content of ground and surface waters of a toposequence sampled in Central Cameroun are interpreted as being controlled by equilibrium interactions of water and secondary mineral phases in the macroscopic system. Calculations based on the known thermodynamic properties of ferric hydroxide and kaolinite are consistent with this hypothesis, though microsystems making up the macrosystem contain ephemeral phases that are not in equilibrium with phreatic waters. 相似文献
