Organic compounds in the early atmosphere formed abiotically from atomic carbon

The recent discovery that atomic carbon occurs plentiful in olivines from mantle-derived rocks opens new aspects for the chemical evolution of the early atmosphere and the origin of life. It has been shown conclusively that atomic carbon which is dissolved in the model oxide MgO is capable of reacting in an O₂-free atmosphere with the lattice oxygen to give CO₂ and with the lattice hydrogen, derived from OH^–, to give a profuse variety of hydrocarbons.The diffusional processes and low temperature gas/solid interface reactions involved in these processes are expected to introduce, purely abiotically, isotope fractionation resulting in a¹³C enrichment of the CO₂ fraction and in a¹³C depletion of the hydrocarbon fraction which may be confused with the¹²C/¹³C isotope fractionation along biological pathways.Atomic carbon dissolved in olivines and in basalts shows a similar behaviour and yields similar quantities as C in MgO: 1–2 mg/g CO₂ and 25–100g/g hydrocarbons degassing between 400 and 1000 °C. On a geological scale this means that each cubic kilometer of basaltic magma degassing in an O₂-free atmosphere has the capacity of sending off about 3–6·10⁹ kg (2·10⁹ m³) of CO₂ and about 1–3·10⁸ kg (2·10⁸ m³) of hydrocarbons. The presence of water modifies the composition to give, among others, alcohols and organic acids.On the basis of these results we are led to the conclusion that the early atmosphere of the earth may have contained a very high concentration of abiotically formed organic compounds of great chemical complexity.

Zusammenfassung Die Entdeckung des atomar gelösten Kohlenstoffs in Olivinen aus Mantelgesteinen führt zu neuen Vorstellungen über die Zusammensetzung der Uratmosphäre und Entwicklungsbedingungen des Lebens. Atomarer Kohlenstoff im MgO ist in der Lage, in einer O₂-freien Atmosphäre mit dem Gittersauerstoff zu CO₂ zu reagieren und mit dem aus OH^– stammenden Gitterwasserstoff eine große Vielfalt von organischen Verbindungen zu bilden.Diffusionsprozesse und Gas-Festkörper-Austauschreaktionen, die an diesen Reaktionen beteiligt sind, führen nach ersten Untersuchungen zu einer¹³C-Anreicherung im CO₂ und einer¹³C-Abreicherung bei den Kohlenwasserstoffen. Diese¹²C/¹³C-Fraktionierung ist gleichsinnig mit der biologischen¹²C/¹³C-Fraktionierung.Atomarer Kohlenstoff in Olivinen und Basalten zeigt ein sehr ähnliches Reaktionsverhalten wie im MgO und führt zu ähnlichen Reaktionsprodukten: 1–2 mg/g CO₂ und 25–100g/g Kohlenwasserstoffe zwischen 400–1000 °C. Übertragen auf geologische Verhältnisse bedeutet dies, daß jeder km³ eines entgasenden basaltischen Magmas 3–6·10⁹ kg (2·10⁹ m³) CO₂ und 1–3·10⁸ kg (2·10⁸ m³) abwüschen Kohlenwasserstoff abgeben kann. Die Anwesenheit von Wasser führt zur Bildung von Alkoholen und organischen Säuren. Diese Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, daß die Uratmosphäre und die Ursuppe viel reicher waren als bisher angenommen an komplexen organischen Verbindungen, die rein thermisch entstanden sind.

Résumé La découverte du carbone atomique dans les olivines du manteau entraîne de nouvelles idées sur la composition de l'atmosphère originelle et sur les conditions du développement de la vie. Comme l'est le cas pour le MgO, le carbone atomique dans les olivines est capable de réagir, dans une atmosphère exempte de O₂, avec l'oxygène du réseau cristallin en formant du CO₂, et avec l'hydrogène provenant des groupements OH^– du réseau, pour former une grande variété de composés organiques.Les processus de diffusion et d'échange gas-solide liés à ces réactions provoquent, d'après les premiers résultats, un enrichissement en¹³C dans le CO₂ et un appauvrissement en¹³C dans les hydrocarbures formés. Ceci ressemble au fractionnement dû à des réactions biologiques.Le comportement du carbone atomique et sa réactivité se retrouvent dans les basaltes et les olivines. La gamme des produits de réaction et leur quantité ressemble à celle du MgO: 1–2 mg/g CO₂ et 25–100g/g composés organiques. A l'échelle géologique ceci implique que chaque km³ de magma basaltique dégazé en contact avec une atmosphère exempte d'oxygène pouvait émettre 3–6·10⁹ kg, soit 2·10⁹ m³ de CO₂ et 1–3·10⁸ kg, soit 2·10⁸ m³ d'hydrocarbures abiotiques. La présence d'eau entraîne la formation d'alcools et d'acides organiques.La conclusion tirée de ce travail indique que l'atmosphère originelle et la»soupe primordiale» étaient plus riches qu'on ne l'a admis jusqu'à présent en composés organiques dûs à des processus purement thermiques, et donc abiotiques.

Independent measurement of biogenic silica in sediments by FTIR spectroscopy and PLS regression     

Carsten Meyer-Jacob  Hendrik Vogel  Florian Boxberg  Peter Rosén  Michael E. Weber  Richard Bindler 《Journal of Paleolimnology》2014,52(3):245-255

We present an independent calibration model for the determination of biogenic silica (BSi) in sediments, developed from analysis of synthetic sediment mixtures and application of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS) and partial least squares regression (PLSR) modeling. In contrast to current FTIRS applications for quantifying BSi, this new calibration is independent from conventional wet-chemical techniques and their associated measurement uncertainties. This approach also removes the need for developing internal calibrations between the two methods for individual sediments records. For the independent calibration, we produced six series of different synthetic sediment mixtures using two purified diatom extracts, with one extract mixed with quartz sand, calcite, 60/40 quartz/calcite and two different natural sediments, and a second extract mixed with one of the natural sediments. A total of 306 samples—51 samples per series—yielded BSi contents ranging from 0 to 100 %. The resulting PLSR calibration model between the FTIR spectral information and the defined BSi concentration of the synthetic sediment mixtures exhibits a strong cross-validated correlation ( \( {\text{R}}^{ 2}_{\text{cv}} \)  = 0.97) and a low root-mean square error of cross-validation (RMSECV = 4.7 %). Application of the independent calibration to natural lacustrine and marine sediments yields robust BSi reconstructions. At present, the synthetic mixtures do not include the variation in organic matter that occurs in natural samples, which may explain the somewhat lower prediction accuracy of the calibration model for organic-rich samples.  相似文献   

The Herschel-PACS photometer calibration

This paper provides an overview of the PACS photometer flux calibration concept, in particular for the principal observation mode, the scan map. The absolute flux calibration is tied to the photospheric models of five fiducial stellar standards (α Boo, α Cet, α Tau, β And, γ Dra). The data processing steps to arrive at a consistent and homogeneous calibration are outlined. In the current state the relative photometric accuracy is ～2 % in all bands. Starting from the present calibration status, the characterization and correction for instrumental effects affecting the relative calibration accuracy is described and an outlook for the final achievable calibration numbers is given. After including all the correction for the instrumental effects, the relative photometric calibration accuracy (repeatability) will be as good as 0.5 % in the blue and green band and 2 % in the red band. This excellent calibration starts to reveal possible inconsistencies between the models of the K-type and the M-type stellar calibrators. The absolute calibration accuracy is therefore mainly limited by the 5 % uncertainty of the celestial standard models in all three bands. The PACS bolometer response was extremely stable over the entire Herschel mission and a single, time-independent response calibration file is sufficient for the processing and calibration of the science observations. The dedicated measurements of the internal calibration sources were needed only to characterize secondary effects. No aging effects of the bolometer or the filters have been found. Also, we found no signs of filter leaks. The PACS photometric system is very well characterized with a constant energy spectrum νF _ν = λF _λ = const as a reference. Colour corrections for a wide range of sources SEDs are determined and tabulated.  相似文献

First perissodactyl footprints from Flysch deposits of the Barail Group (Lower Oligocene) of Manipur,India     

Hemanta Singh Rajkumar  Hendrik Klein 《Journal of Earth System Science》2014,123(2):413-420

Two pes imprints of a perissodactyl mammal constituting a single step of a trackway have recently been discovered in Oligocene Flysch deposits of the Barail Group in Manipur, India. The tridactyl, mesaxonic imprints (~7 cm in length) show strong similarities to footprints known from the Paleogene of China and can be attributed to a tapiroid, rhinocerotoid or equoid trackmaker. This is the first record of perissodactyl footprints from the Lower Oligocene of India and the first evidence of mammals in the Barail Group of the age. Remarkable is the occurrence in a marginal marine setting, whereas other known perissodactyl footprints from the Eocene–Oligocene in particular from North America, Europe and China come from fluvio-lacustrine strata.  相似文献   

Evolution of sandstone peak‐forest landscapes – insights from quantifying erosional processes with cosmogenic nuclides          下载免费PDF全文

Jan‐Hendrik May  He‐Qing Huang  Toshiyuki Fujioka  David Fink  Alexandru Codilean  Guo‐An Yu  Yuanxu Ma  Gerwin Wulf  Jing Gu 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2018,43(3):639-653

The sandstone peak‐forest landscape in Zhangjiajie UNESCO Global Geopark of Hunan Province, China, is characterized by >3000 vertical pillars and peak walls of up to 350 m height, representing a spectacular example of sandstone landform variety. Few studies have addressed the mechanisms and timescales of the longer‐term evolution of this landscape, and have focused on fluvial incision. We use in situ cosmogenic nuclides combined with GIS analysis to investigate the erosional processes contributing to the formation of pillars and peak‐forests, and discuss their relative roles in the formation and decay of the landscape. Model maximum‐limiting bedrock erosion rates are the highest along the narrow fluvial channels and valleys at the base of the sandstone pillars (~83–122 mm kyr^?1), and lowest on the peak wall tops (~2.5 mm kyr^?1). Erosion rates are highly variable and intermediate along vertical sandstone peak walls and pillars (~30 to 84 mm kyr^?1). Catchment‐wide denudation rates from river sediment vary between ~26 and 96 mm kyr^?1 and are generally consistent with vertical wall retreat rates. This highlights the importance of wall retreat for overall erosion in the sandstone peak‐forest. In combination with GIS‐derived erosional volumes, our results suggest that the peak‐forest formation in Zhangjiajie commenced in the Pliocene, and that the general evolution of the landscape followed our sequential refined model: (i) slow lowering rates following initial uplift; (ii) fast plateau dissection by headward knickpoint propagation along joints and faults followed by; (iii) increasing contribution of wall retreat in the well‐developed pillars and peak‐forests and a gradual decrease in overall denudation rates, leading to; (iv) the final consumption of pillars and peak‐forests. Our study provides an approach for quantifying the complex interplay between multiple geomorphic processes as required to assess the evolutionary pathways of other sandstone peak‐forest landscapes across the globe.
