Apatite fission-track thermochronology was applied to the outcropping Variscan basement of the south-eastern Bohemian massif in order to resolve its post-Variscan cooling and denudation history. Nineteen samples could be dated by the grain-population method. The ages range from 235 to 90 Ma (Middle Triassic to Middle Cretaceous). Neglecting some local variations, they show a decrease from the western edge of the Moravian Thaya window towards the west and the south. Fission-track length histograms mainly exhibit broad distributions with arithmetic means between 12.3 and 13.4 µm, and standard deviations between 1.5 and 2.0 µm. Thermochronological model calculations of the measured data demonstrate that the apatite fission-track memory of the samples reaches back until the begin of the Cretaceous, and for some samples even until the Permian. The regional fission-track cooling pattern is not related to the limitations and the internal structure of the Moravian Thaya window, which appears to be an elder—probably Late Carboniferous to Permian—tectonic feature. Also the Vitis fault does not delimit areas of different thermochronological behaviour. Therefore, significant vertical offset on that fault can be excluded for the Cretaceous and Cenozoic. Thermochronological model calculations of fission-track ages and length data are consistent with the assumption of regional sedimentary reburial during the Late Cretaceous. The amount of reburial could have attained 1 km. The Cenozoic bulk denudation was in the order of 1 to 3 km.
Zusammenfassung Die postvariszische Abkühlungs- und Denudationsgeschichte der südöstlichen Böhmischen Masse wurde mittels Apatit-Spaltspuranalyse untersucht. Neunzehn Proben wurden mit der Kornpopulationsmethode datiert. Die Spaltspuralter liegen zwischen 235 und 90 Ma (mittlere Trias bis mittlere Kreide). Abgesehen von kleinen lokalen Abweichungen, nehmen die Alter von der Westecke des Thayafensters in Richtung Süden und Westen ab. Nahezu alle Histogramme der Spurenlängen zeigen relativ breite Verteilungen mit arithmetischen Mittelwerten zwischen 12,3 und 13,4 µm, und mit Standardabweichungen zwischen 1,5 und 2,0 µm. Thermochronologische Modellberechnungen mit den gemessenen Daten zeigen, daß das Apatit-Spaltspurgedächtnis aller Proben mindestens bis zum Beginn der Kreide, für manche Proben sogar bis ins Perm zurückreicht. Die regionale Verteilung der Spaltspurdaten zeigt keine Übereinstimmung mit den Grenzen und dem inneren Bau des Thayafensters, welches eine offenbar ältere—wahrscheinlich oberkarbonische bis permische—tektonische Struktur darstellt. Auch an der Vitisstörung tritt keine sprunghafte Änderung des thermochronologischen Verhaltens der Gesteine auf. Daher kann ein bedeutender kretazischer oder känozoischer Vertikalversatz an dieser Störung ausgeschlossen werden. Thermochronologische Modellberechnungen der Apatit-Spaltspurdaten unterstützen die Annahme einer regionalen Wiederversenkung infolge oberkretazischer Sedimentbedeckung. Die Mächtigkeit der oberkretazischen Sedimente über dem Grundgebirge könnte bis ca. 1 km betragen haben. Der känozoische Gesamtabtrag lag zwischen 1 und 3 km.
Seasonal Occurrence of Species of Saprolegniales and Leptomitales in Lake Aue and the River Fulda in Kassel (Hesse) with Special Consideration of Fish Pathogenic Species In this study, we examined the occurrence of species of aquatic Oomycetes of Saprolegniales und Leptomitales in Lake Aue and the river Fulda in Kassel (Hesse, Germany) with special consideration of fish pathogenic species. We monthly collected water samples of both water bodies from July 2003 to June 2004. The baiting method was used to gain an insight into the specific seasonal occurrence of aquatic Oomycetes. Some species show a seasonal periodicity. Nine of 11 species of Saprolegniales isolated from the two water bodies, and Leptomitus lacteus (Roth) C. Agardh, one of the two species of Leptomitales, were already documented on fish according to references. Additionally, 7 of 10 species could according to references already be detected on fish species present in the two water bodies. Simultaneous measurements of limnological‐chemical parameters were done during the sampling of water for the isolation of aquatic Oomycetes. The results of some measurements, concerning the river Fulda, were additionally compared with the predetermined guideline values and limit values of water bodies of fish of the “Cyprinid region”. 相似文献
Lake Zeribar sediments covering the time period of the last 25,000 years were examined for the contents of seeds, fruits, Characeae, diatoms, and molluscs. Reconstructions of the variations in the lake water level, salinity, and trophy suggest a sequence of climatic changes. Three pronounced stages of low and varying lake-water level occurred ca. 17,700–15,400, 12,600–12,000, and 10,000–6000 cal yr BP. Some water-level changes were correlated with variations in salinity. The most pronounced increase of salinity occurred 17,700–15,700 and 12,600–12,000 cal yr BP, and less distinct ones occurred about 6400–5900 and 2500 cal yr BP. Diatom assemblages indicated a strong increase of lake trophy ca. 20,200 cal yr BP. Between 6000 and 5000 cal yr BP diatoms characteristic of eutrophy increased in core 63J, and at about 3200 cal yr BP a distinct increase in mesotrophic forms occurred in core 70B. The changes in the occurrence of various organisms indicate increased temperatures about 21,000 cal yr BP, between 15,400 and 12,600, about 12,000, and about 11,700 cal yr BP. The reduced occurrence or disappearance of some of them suggest temperature decreases about 17,700–15,400 and 12,600–12,000 cal yr BP. 相似文献
Crustal studies in western Colombia, by deep seismic, gravity and geomagnetic surveys, during the last two decades have revealed an extremely anomalous crustal structure as compared to the South American Andes further south. Strong gravity gradients and differences in seismic velocities showed a transition from oceanic to continental character between the Western and Central Andes.
Measured gravity and height variations of opposite sign and lengths of 50 to 100 km on three east-west running profiles correlate surprisingly well with the typical positive Bouguer anomaly of the Western Andes which represents an isostatic instability. A gravity decrease of 0.5–1.0 mGal on two profiles and an increase on an intermediate one and corresponding ratios of gravity to apparent height variations of nearly −20 mGal/m are interpreted as consequences of deep-seated density variations. They may be related to collision tectonics and recent obduction processes between aseismic ridges riding on the Pacific Nazca plate and the continent. 相似文献
HPLC extracts of crude petroleums and of marine recent sediments, containing the monomethyl-phenanthrene series, are examined by high resolution spectrofluorimetry in n-hexane at 15 K (Shpolskii effect). Identification and relative quantification of each of the five isomers is obtained on six natural samples. The distribution of the monomethyl-phenanthrenes and the relative absence of 4-methyl-phenanthrene in petroleums compared to marine sediments may reflect steric inhibitions. 相似文献
Well ordered tridymites containing atmost 0.016% Na (0.004% Na) were prepared at 1400° C from Na2WO4-(K2WO4-) fluxes using high purity amorphous silica as starting material. No further reduction of these Na-contents was attainable by soxhlet extraction. These tridymites were treated hydrothermally at temperatures between 815 and 950° C and 200 bars H2O. The products obtained were investigated optically as well as by powder X-ray methods and were analyzed for Na-contents: the hydrothermal treatment resulted either in recrystallization of tridymite or transformation into quartz mostly depending on Na-contents. Na-contents below about 0.015% tend to favour recrystallization of tridymite within the quartz field (<870° C), Na-contents above about 0.03% tend to favour formation of quartz within the tridymite field (>870° C). This may be due to influences of Na-traces either on the kinetics or on the equilibrium temperature of tridymite-quartz transformation. 相似文献
The pseudobinary section Al2SiO5-Cr2SiO5 of the system Al2O3-Cr2O3-SiO2 has been investigated at 20 and 30 kb pressure in the temperature range 1,000–1,600° C. The solubility of Cr2SiO5 in kyanite (Al2SiO5) extends up to 24 mole % Cr2SiO5 at 20 kb and 31 mole % at 30 kb. The extent of this solid solution is not notably dependent on temperature in the range studied. The stability of kyanite is increased by the substitution Cr Al by about 80° C at 20 kb as compared to Cr-free kyanite. Cr-poor sillimanite and Cr-rich kyanite can stably coexist in a temperature interval of up to 80° C at 20 kb and about 150° C at 25 kb. 相似文献
Polarized spectra E∥X, E∥Y, and E∥Z of purple yoderite, taken at 295 and 100 K, result in a revised interpretation for the mineral. Major bands at around 16,900 (X>Y?Z), 18,600 (X?Y), and 20,600 cm?1 (X≈Z>Y) may be attributed to spin-allowed transitions of Mn3+ in trigonal bipyramids (A2 or A3). Minor features may be assigned to single ion Fe3+. However, charge transfer possibilities for bands at 18,600 and 25,500 cm?1 in yoderite cannot be ruled out and are discussed. The extremely high intensity of Mn3+ spin-allowed bands (?, 216 to 1,900 [1·g-atom?1·cm?1]) is attributed to fivefold coordination of the A2 and A3 position and to the covalency of the Mn3+-O bonds. 相似文献
A part of the IUGS-UNESCO research project "Landslide Hazard Assessment and Cultural Heritage" (IGCP-Project No. 425) includes testing the application of geophysical methods for assessing hazard risks to people and cultural assets. In this work, Austria contributed with a study on the assessment of rock-fall hazards. As the Old Town of Salzburg is a prime example of such hazards, systematic GPR-measurements were made on major rock surfaces. The aim of the exploration with GPR was to assess the potential of the method for monitoring rock walls. That is, whether structures in the rock mass which could become important when considering the risk of a rock fall, can be imaged. To manage this problem successfully, moving the antenna over the rough rock surface was made as regular as possible. The effects of vegetation lifting the antenna from the rock surface and of overhanging regions could not be avoided. Due to the loss of coupling of the antenna and the change of radiation pattern, some interference of the records occurred. Thus, only after processing could it become clear which reflections came from within the rock. A three-dimensional survey of discontinuities in the rock requires accurate mapping of the rock surface by photogrammetric methods, to get a digital terrain model for the analysis of the GPR records. The results of repeated measurements have proved to be of essential relevance. They have shown that it is possible to reveal changes with time. For the interpretation of such observations, modeling is a very useful tool. 相似文献
