Moderately volatile siderophiles in ordinary chondrites     

Ermanno R. Rambaldi  Miguel Cendales 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1979,44(3):397-408

The contents of the moderately volatile elements Ga, Ge, Cu and Sb in ordinary chondrites give us some clues with regard to the metal-silicate fractionation process. Their concentration in coexisting magnetic and non-magnetic portions of members of each ordinary chondrite group will be discussed. Germanium and Sb are mostly siderophilic, but Ga is strongly lithophilic in unequilibrated chondrites; its partition coefficient between magnetic and non-magnetic portions is positively correlated with petrologic type in L and LL chondrites, but not in H4–6 chondrites. From 25 to 50% of the total Cu is found in the non-magnetic fraction of chondrites, but there is no correlation between Cu content and petrologic type. The abundances of Ga, Cu and Sb (relative to Si) are constant in ordinary chondrites, independent of the amount of metal present, indicating that these elements were not in solid solution in the metal phase of chondrites when the metal-silicate fractionation process occurred. Germanium, which is the most volatile among the four elements analyzed, is more abundant in H than in L and LL chondrites, indicating that it was fractionated by this process. Nebular oxidation processes can be responsible for the behavior of Ga if this element was in oxidized form when loss of metal occurred, but cannot explain the results for Cu and Sb which are predicted to condense as metals and accrete mostly in metallic form. It is possible that Cu and Sb, upon condensation, did not form solid solutions with metallic Ni-Fe until after the separation of metal from silicates took place.  相似文献   

The development of folds in bedded chert and related rocks in the Malaguide Complex, southern Spain     

Miguel Orozco  Rafael Galvez 《Tectonophysics》1979,56(3-4)

Folds and folding mechanism in a chert sequence and related rocks of the Maláguide Complex (the uppermost tectonic unit of the Betic Zone) have been investigated. The geometric study shows that folds that developed in the chert sequence are usually angular in shape and asymmetric. Chevron and conjugate folds are common.Folding in bedded chert is explained in terms of a suggested model:

1. (1) Development of folds by kink and conjugate kinking.

2. (2) As the shortening increases, the interlimb angles decrease; in the kink folds this is caused by a reduction of the angle between the layers within the kink and the kink boundaries. There seems to be a relationship between this angle and the asymmetrical thinning-out in the limbs of many folds: the smaller is the angle between the kink boundary and the layers within the kink band, the larger is the reduction of the thickness in these layers.

Single limestone layers embedded in slate deform very probably by a buckling mechanism, implying tangential longitudinal strain and an additional flattening.  相似文献   

Crystal bending in metamorphic calcite,and its relations to associated twinning     

Francis J. Turner  Miguel Orozco 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1976,57(1):83-97

This paper deals with the incidence and geometry of lattice bending in calcite of naturally strained marble and possible relations in time to associated {01¯12} twinning, as revealed by microscopic examination with a universal stage. Microscopic technique and graphic treatment of data with a view to identifying the relation in time of bending to twinning, and possible glide mechanisms involved in the bending process are reviewed as a basis for present and subsequent investigation of this general topic.In most instances development of surviving thin e twins postdates bending of the host crystal (such twins everywhere are rationally oriented). Rarely (in contrast with experimental experience) some thin twins are slightly irrational (L_e lamellae) and apparently developed in the final stages of bending. Thick twins (a few tens of microns wide) on the other hand rather commonly predate or are synchronous with bending.The geometry of bending (external rotation) — especially for rotation less than 25° —commonly is compatible with models (based on experimental experience) of simple translation in the strained domains. The commonest translation system so identified is on {10¯11}, with sense of shear, where recognizable, either negative or positive. Translation on {02¯21} is relatively rare. Unexpectedly there is rather strong but not conclusive evidence of translation on {0001} parallel to an a axis. This mechanism, hitherto never identified with certainty, is now here documented unequivocally in a crystal of calcite experimentally strained at 300° C, 5 kb.  相似文献   

Reconnaissance geochronology of basement rocks from the Amazonas and Maranhão Basins in Brazil     

Adam Kovach  Harold W. Fairbairn  Patrick M. Hurley  Miguel A.S. Basei  Umberto G. Cordani 《Precambrian Research》1976,3(5):471-480

Rb/Sr whole rock as well as K/Ar whole rock and mineral age determinations have been carried out on drill core samples obtained from the crystalline basement underlying the Amazonas and Maranhão Basins in Brazil. The data confirm the existence of an ancient basement under the Upper and Middle Amazonas Basin. The primary age of the granitic rocks is estimated at about 1560 Ma which correlates with recent age data obtained on granitic rocks on both sides of the Amazonas syneclise. In some areas the K/Ar ages show a decrease probably due to the effect of the Nickerie thermal episode described previously in the Guayana Shield.In the basement of the interconnected Lower Amazonas and Maranhão Basins Late Precambrian (Caririan) metamorphism and igneous activity seems to have been pervasive. The data allow the continuation of the Brazilian age province known in northeastern Brazil under the Maranhão Basin, linking this province to the Brasilia-Paraguay orogenic belt of similar age.  相似文献   

Location,location, location: changes in the diversity of animal resources exploited by Tardiglacial humans in northern Spain     

Pablo Turrero  Eva García‐Vázquez  Miguel Arbizu  Gema E. Adán 《第四纪科学杂志》2010,25(2):214-221

Prey diversity of Homo sapiens in north Iberia exhibited shifts associated with climate warming after the Last Glacial Maximum, as deduced from animal remains obtained from Upper Palaeolithic caves in Asturias (northern Spain). Significant association of prey diversity and river proximity was found during adverse climate conditions, indicating opportunistic predation. A high increase of prey diversity was found when small animals (including fish) were taken into account in archaeological records, highlighting the importance of this type of prey in Palaeolithic diets.

Concurrent imaging of chlorophyll fluorescence,Chlorophyll a content and green fluorescent proteins‐like proteins of symbiotic cnidarians          下载免费PDF全文

Miguel Costa Leal  Bruno Jesus  João Ezequiel  Ricardo Calado  Rui Jorge Miranda Rocha  Paulo Cartaxana  João Serôdio 《Marine Ecology》2015,36(3):572-584

Research on photosynthetic cnidarians has been mainly focused on the symbiosis established between the cnidarian host and its dinoflagellates endosymbionts from genus Symbiodinium. Despite the potential of imaging techniques for assessing the spatial distribution of key parameters of cnidarian photobiology, such as photochemical activity, chlorophyll a content or green fluorescent proteins (GFPs), to our best knowledge, no study has ever attempted to simultaneous map these three features. In this study, we developed a modified imaging pulse amplitude fluorometer by applying excitation light of different wavelengths and selectively detecting short spectral bands through bandpass filters. The imaging system was used to sequentially excite and quantify chlorophyll variable fluorescence (maximum quantum yield of photosystem II, F_v/F_m), Chl a content (normalized difference vegetation index) and relative content of GFPs. The spatial distribution of these photophysiological parameters was mapped both horizontally, across the surface of the soft corals Sarcophyton cf. glaucum and Sinularia flexibilis and the zoanthid Protopalythoa sp., and vertically, throughout a vertical section of S. cf. glaucum. Results showed bleached areas within each individual coral colony and registered photophysiological changes with S. cf. glaucum tissue depth. Analysis of Protopalythoa sp. polyps’ expansion revealed differential surface patterns of NDVI and GFP concentration, and a negative relation between these latter parameters within each polyp. This novel non‐invasive approach allowed a high‐resolution characterization of the spatial relationship between these key parameters through the analysis of image information on a pixel‐by‐pixel basis, which has great potential for investigating the physiological state of symbiotic associations.  相似文献   

Contribution of SHRIMP U–Pb zircon geochronology to unravelling the evolution of Brazilian Neoproterozoic fold belts

The South-American continent is constituted of three major geologic–geotectonic entities: the homonym platform (consolidated at the end of the Cambrian), the Andean chain (essentially Meso-Cenozoic) and the Patagonian terrains, affected by tectonism and magmatism through almost all of the Phanerozoic. The platform is constituted by a series of cratonic nuclei (pre-Tonian, fragments of the Rodinia fission) surrounded by a complex fabric of Neoproterozoic structural provinces.  相似文献

Technical, financial and location criteria for the design of land application system treatment     

Juana María Sanz  Ángel de Miguel  Irene de Bustamante  Alberto de Tomás  José Luis Goy 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2014,71(1):13-21

Conventional water treatments when downsized to cover the demands of small and scattered populations are costly and ineffective. In fact, many small towns cannot afford the high average treatment costs nor provide the skill and complex management requirements. Even when these facilities are available, waste water might not be properly treated. Land application system treatments (LAST) have been shown to be preferable on the basis of their technical effectiveness and financial viability. The recently approved Spanish regulations (RDL 1620/2007, pp 50369–50661) represent an opportunity for the implementation of well-designed LASTs. This paper presents an assessment methodology for the design of LASTs by combining technical, financial and location criteria. The method is applied to the design of LASTs to cover the water disposal demand of twelve municipalities located within the protected natural landscape, and surrounding areas of ‘El Rebollar’, Salamanca, Spain.  相似文献
