The δ¹³C_carb and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr secular variations in Neoproteozoic seawater have been used for the purpose of 'isotope stratigraphy' but there are a number of problems that can preclude its routine use. In particular, it cannot be used with confidence for 'blind dating'. The compilation of isotopic data on carbonate rocks reveals a high level of inconsistency between various carbon isotope age curves constructed for Neoproteozoic seawater, caused by a relatively high frequency of both global and local δ¹³C_carb fluctuations combined with few reliable age determinations. Further complication is caused by the unresolved problem as to whether two or four glaciations, and associated negative δ¹³C_carb excursions, can be reliably documented. Carbon isotope stratigraphy cannot be used alone for geological correlation and 'blind dating'. Strontium isotope stratigraphy is a more reliable and precise tool for stratigraphic correlations and indirect age determinations. Combining strontium and carbon isotope stratigraphy, several discrete ages within the 590–544 Myr interval, and two age-groups at 660–610 and 740–690 Myr can be resolved.  相似文献

Geochronology and excess Ar geochemistry of the Lhotse Nup leucogranite, Nepal Himalaya     

Igor M. Villa 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》1990,44(1-2)

⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating experiments on several coexisting minerals from two close-by leucogranite outcrops near Lhotse Nup glacier (Nepal Himalaya) reveal a complex behaviour. Four biotite and muscovite ages cluster around 15.5 Ma, a lower value than literature Rb/Sr ages on splits of the same four micas, suggesting a discrepancy with the ideal cooling age sequence observed in the Alps.A strongly discordant Ar-Ar spectrum on tourmaline does not allow a chronological interpretation.A potassium feldspar shows a slow-cooling staircase spectrum with a superimposed saddle diagnostic of excess Ar. HF leaching removed excess Ar but caused great perturbations to the minimum step ages, isochron plots, and the release of reactor-produced Ar isotopes. The present data require that the currently fashionable interpretations of feldspar systematics be radically changed.The main chronological conclusions rely on the eight mica ages. Their decrease from 18.2 to 15.3 Ma dates the cooling of the Lhotse Nup leucogranite.  相似文献   

Magnetic variations excited by a radial magnetic dipole located in the earth's core

Summary Theoretical formulae are derived for computing a variable magnetic field, excited by a harmonically oscillating radial magnetic dipole (RMD), located eccentrically at the surface of the Earth's core. By numerical computations, using a three-layered conductivity model of the Earth, it is proved that the field due to this source, computed for the surface of the Earth, is relatively weak in comparison to the field of a stationary magnetic dipole, provided the period of the changes is less than 500 years. The zone of influence of the RMD at the Earth's surface is also determined and on its basis a number of conclusions were drawn with respect to representing the non-dipole part of the geomagnetic field by means of the RMD system in the Earth's core.Dedicated to RNDr. Jan Pícha, CSc., on his 60th Birthday  相似文献

Shallow velocity–depth model imaging by refraction tomography1     

Igor Belfer  Evgeny Landa 《Geophysical Prospecting》1996,44(5):859-870

A tomographic imaging technique combined with coherence inversion is proposed for constructing a near-surface model from refraction events. A model obtained from coherence inversion serves as a good background model for the tomographic reconstruction. A simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique (SIRT) algorithm was used for this purpose. This is a simple algorithm and can be easily adapted to irregular acquisition geometry and limited angular aperture. Using synthetic data it was shown that the proposed procedure can be used for determination of local velocity anomalies in a shallow subsurface. The technique was also tested on a real data set.  相似文献   

New age data from the Lesnaya Group: A key to understanding the timing of arc-continent collision, Kamchatka, Russia     

Alexei V. Soloviev  Mikhail N. Shapiro  John I. Garver  Ekaterina A. Shcherbinina  Igor R. Kravchenko-Berezhnoy 《Island Arc》2002,11(1):79-90

Abstract The Lesnaya Group is part of a thick, poorly dated turbidite assemblage that sits in the footwall of a regionally extensive collision zone in which the Cretaceous–Paleocene Olutorsky island arc terrane was obducted onto continental margin basin strata. Nannoplankton from 18 samples from the upper part of the Lesnaya Group yield Paleocene through Middle Eocene assemblages. Detrital zircons from nine sandstone samples have a young population of fission-track ages that range from 43.7 ± 3.4 to 55.5 ± 3.5 Ma (uppermost Paleocene to Middle Eocene). The deformed footwall rocks of the Lesnaya Group and the overlying thrusts of the Olutorsky arc terrane, are unconformably overlain by neoautochthonous deposits which are Lutetian (lower Middle Eocene) and younger. Together, these new data indicate that thrusting, which is inferred to have been driven by collision of the Cretaceous–Paleocene island arc with north-eastern Asia, took place in the mid-Lutetian, at about 45 Ma.  相似文献   

Osmium isotope and highly siderophile element systematics of lunar impact melt breccias: Implications for the late accretion history of the Moon and Earth

To characterize the compositions of materials accreted to the Earth-Moon system between about 4.5 and 3.8 Ga, we have determined Os isotopic compositions and some highly siderophile element (HSE: Re, Os, Ir, Ru, Pt, and Pd) abundances in 48 subsamples of six lunar breccias. These are: Apollo 17 poikilitic melt breccias 72395 and 76215; Apollo 17 aphanitic melt breccias 73215 and 73255; Apollo 14 polymict breccia 14321; and lunar meteorite NWA482, a crystallized impact melt. Plots of Ir versus other HSE define excellent linear correlations, indicating that all data sets likely represent dominantly two-component mixtures of a low-HSE target, presumably endogenous component, and a high-HSE, presumably exogenous component. Linear regressions of these trends yield intercepts that are statistically indistinguishable from zero for all HSE, except for Ru and Pd in two samples. The slopes of the linear regressions are insensitive to target rock contributions of Ru and Pd of the magnitude observed; thus, the trendline slopes approximate the elemental ratios present in the impactor components contributed to these rocks. The ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os and regression-derived elemental ratios for the Apollo 17 aphanitic melt breccias and the lunar meteorite indicate that the impactor components in these samples have close affinities to chondritic meteorites. The HSE in the Apollo 17 aphanitic melt breccias, however, might partially or entirely reflect the HSE characteristics of HSE-rich granulitic breccia clasts that were incorporated in the impact melt at the time of its creation. In this case, the HSE characteristics of these rocks may reflect those of an impactor that predated the impact event that led to the creation of the melt breccias. The impactor components in the Apollo 17 poikilitic melt breccias and in the Apollo 14 breccia have higher ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os, Pt/Ir, and Ru/Ir and lower Os/Ir than most chondrites. These compositions suggest that the impactors they represent were chemically distinct from known chondrite types, and possibly represent a type of primitive material not currently delivered to Earth as meteorites.  相似文献   

3D seismic analysis of the Coast Shear Zone in SE Alaska and Western British Columbia: Broadside analysis of ACCRETE wide-angle data     

Hongyan Li  Igor B. Morozov  Scott B. Smithson 《Tectonophysics》2008,448(1-4):20-32

The multidisciplinary ACCRETE project addresses the question of continental assemblage in southeast Alaska and western British Columbia by terrane accretion and magmatic addition. The previous studies of this project yielded important information for understanding the structures across the Coast Shear Zone (CSZ) and the formation of the CSZ and the Coast Mountains Batholith (CMB). The present study extends these interpretations into pseudo-3-D by using two additional wide-angle ACCRETE seismic lines. By analyzing the broadside wide-angle data using a series of laterally homogeneous 2-D models, we derive a lower-resolution 3-D velocity model of the outboard terranes and constrain variations in crustal thickness across and along the CSZ. Models of the broadside data confirms major structural and compositional trends extend along strike to the northwest. The key features are: a) a steep Moho ramp only  15-km wide is coincident with the CSZ and divides thin (25 ± 1 km) crust to the west below the west-vergent thrust belt (WTB) from thicker ( 31 ± 1 km) crust to the east below the CMB, (b) low-velocity mantle (7.7--7.9 km/s) extends beneath the entire study region indicating high crustal and upper-mantle temperatures below the WTB and CMB, and (c) the Alexander terrane is characterized by strong mid-crustal reflectivity and high lower crustal velocities that are consistent with gabbroic composition. This study extends the earlier interpretation and implies that the ramp is indeed likely associated with transpressional tectonics and magmatic crustal addition east of the CSZ.  相似文献
