Early Miocene transpressional wrenching yielded a series of NW–SE-elongated pull-apart basins in the Dinarides of Croatia
and Bosnia and Herzegovina. They accommodated a huge lake system that gave rise to spectacular endemic mollusk radiation.
Lake Sinj, moderately sized at 342 km2, flooded the south-westernmost basin of this system. Due to the karstic environment, the hard-water, alkaline, long-lived
lake developed a sediment infill with an average thickness of 370 m, dominated by authigenic limestone. The studied section
represents the upper third of the basinal infill and provides detailed insights into the critical period of the lake and of
the basinal evolution during the final stages of its filling. It comprises two large-scale, shallowing-upward cycles, both
starting with fossil-poor limestones, gradually passing into coal-bearing carbonate rocks and coal seams. The fossil-poor
intervals are interpreted as phases of repetitive acidification events due to changing lake level, which induced periodic
drying and flooding of the uppermost littoral zone inhabited by starfruit (Damasonium) meadows. The flooding of the aerated, limy mud plain introduced H+ ions from organic-matter decay reactions into the shallow
lake. This decreased its pH level, with catastrophic consequences for its biota. The ecosystem then stabilized during the
orbitally-forced, dry climate phases. Based on the mollusk record, streams still influenced the marginal lake environment
and rich organic-matter production created swamps and mires. The onset of mollusk radiation in the section correlates with
stabilized lake alkalinity, as indicated by the disappearance of starfruits, ongoing authigenic carbonate production and by
coal seams representing textbook examples for coal formation in alkaline environments. The inferred basinal setting fits well
with the pull-apart basin model, pointing to the presence of an extended shallow ramp in front of a steep, fault-induced hillside
of the hinterland. 相似文献

A study of inorganic iodine speciation in the waters of seven Croatian coastal caves is described. These are anchialine caves as they are connected hydraulically with Adriatic Sea surface water, with the tide inside the cave rising and falling with that outside, but replenishment of the water is restricted by the karst rock. In effect, the water in the cave probably acts more like a piston, and although moving slightly vertically, has a long residence time compared to a fully-flushing cave. Anchialine environments display a number of unusual features, e.g., a well-developed pycnocline, hypoxia and endemic fauna. Iodate and iodide were determined by differential pulse voltammetry and cathodic stripping square wave voltammetry, respectively. Low iodide concentrations (< 10 nM) have been consistently identified in the bottom water of the caves where concentrations of 90–100 nM would ordinarily be expected from intrusion of Eastern Adriatic surface seawater. Where total inorganic iodine concentrations behave conservatively with salinity the loss of the iodide implies oxidation to iodate. As iodide oxidation remains one of the enduring academic problems of the marine iodine system the study of iodine in anchialine caves may help unravel it. Iodate reduction was observed in mid-water, at the halocline, and mechanisms for the reduction involving either respiration or chemolitho-autotrophic bacteria are considered. The respiration mechanism is favoured because of enhanced alkalinity found in the near surface waters of the caves. 相似文献

A continuous 60-year record (1938–1998) of stable isotope compositions of carbon and oxygen, as well as trace metal (Mg, Sr, Ba) concentrations in a laminated calcite crust precipitated in a short artificial tunnel on a non-equilibrium groundwater-fed karstic river is presented. Chemical and isotopic records have been compared to hydrometeorological data, available for the last 48 years. An attempt is made to relate isotopic and geochemical variations in the crust to environmental parameters, such as temperature, precipitation and changes in vegetation cover, as well as to postdepositional recrystallisation of the older crust material. Isotopic composition of the crust is largely influenced by non-equilibrium precipitation, which favours the incorporation of isotopically depleted C and O into the carbonate. Furthermore, because of the complicated hydrological situation, there is no observable correlation between the stable oxygen isotope composition of water and temperature. The result is that the 18O isotopic thermometers overestimate the measured precipitation temperatures. Temperatures calculated from Mg/Ca ratios of water and the carbonate match the δ18O palaeotemperatures within ± 2.4 °C in the older part of the crust, precipitated before the onset of industrial pollution of the river. It was demonstrated that the application of Mg palaeothermometry in natural systems, where the Mg/Ca ratio of water is influenced not only by temperature, but also by other environmental parameters such as precipitation, surface runoff, groundwater retention time and anthropogenic influences, is subject to a large uncertainty, up to 10 °C. 相似文献

A recent history of metal accumulation in the sediments of Rijeka harbor, Adriatic Sea, Croatia 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
We studied metal pollution in the sediments of Rijeka harbor, including anthropogenic influence during recent decades and at the present time. Sediment profiles were collected at ten sampling points. The concentrations of 63 elements in bulk sediment were obtained using ICP-MS, and the concentrations of selected elements were evaluated by statistical factor analyses. We also calculated metal-enrichment factors and geoaccumulation indices and constructed spatial-distribution maps.Mercury (Hg) was the heaviest pollutant, with concentrations exceeding 4 mg/kg. Silver (Ag) was the second most important pollutant, with constantly increasing values. The average concentrations of the most toxic elements were comparable to those found in sediments of other ports throughout the world, and their toxicity ranged from threshold values [chromium (Cr), arsenic (As)] and midrange-effect values [cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni)] to extreme-effect values (Hg). Metal pollution has decreased during recent decades, except for Ag and barium (Ba). 相似文献

In the Central Rhodopes of southern Bulgaria, an eclogite-bearing rock sheet belonging to the Middle Allochthon (Starcevo Unit) is over- and underlain by eclogite-free, amphibolite-facies rock units along low-angle shear zones, the Borovica Shear Zone at the top and the Starcevo-Ardino Shear Zone at the base. The age of these shear zones is determined by U–Pb zircon dating of pre-, syn- and posttectonic magmatic rocks, mostly pegmatite veins, using LA–SF–ICP–MS. Zircons from pre- to syntectonic pegmatites within the Borovica Shear Zone yielded ages of ca. 45–43?Ma, indicating that the shear zone was active at that time, and zircons from a pretectonic pegmatite and a posttectonic granitoid body within the Starcevo-Ardino Shear Zone yielded ages of ca. 45 and ca. 36?Ma, respectively, giving a time frame for the activity of that shear zone which probably rather postdated the activity of the Borovica Shear Zone. By combining the ages with the kinematics of the shear zones and the metamorphic history of the rock units, the following scenario is sketched: Soon after the Starcevo Unit reached peak pressure (eclogite facies), it was exhumed to a mid-crustal level by top-to-the-north-west, extensional unroofing along the Borovica Shear Zone, in a kinematic framework of orogen-parallel extension. Beginning at ca. 40?Ma, the partly exhumed Starcevo Unit was underthrust from the south-west by continental crust of the foreland (Apulia), forming the Lower Allochthon of the Rhodopes, along the Starcevo-Ardino Shear Zone. These results underline the significance of orogen-parallel extension for the exhumation of high-pressure rocks. With respect to regional geology of the Hellenides and the Aegean, it is found that the tectonic architecture of the Rhodopes is essentially of Tertiary age. Cretaceous syn-metamorphic shear zones do exist but are largely restricted to higher levels of the nappe stack (Upper Allochthon). The Rhodopes do not represent an older essentially Mesozoic core of the Hellenides but are formed by the internal, higher-metamorphic portions of the same major nappe systems as occur in the Hellenides. 相似文献

On the basis of assumed photospheric temperature models for 36 extreme supergiants (logg e -values of 1, 0.5 and 0;T e ranging from approx. 3700–33 000 K) photospheric fluxesS(τλ) were computed for 36 wavelengths ranging from 100 Å to 60 000 Å. The hot models are in perfect radiative equilibrium; the cooler show deviations up to 10%, sometimes even larger. Only in the relatively deep parts of the photospheres (τ5?1) the radiation field at each geometrical level can be characterized by one unique radiation temperature; for smaller τ5-values there are large deviations from local thermal equilibrium. The influence of deviations from local thermodynamical equilibrium on the fluxes is briefly examined, and appears small but for the shortest wavelengths. In tables and graphs we give for these models πF(γ)-values, integrated fluxes, effective temperatures, coloursU, B andV, and the Balmer discontinuityD. 相似文献

Ultraviolet spectra of CMi and Cen A taken with moderate spectral resolution (approx. 1.8 Å) are used to analyse whether a determination of stellar chemical abundances of Fe and Cr and of the photospheric parameters is possible. For CMi, for which good spectral data are available, we findT
eff=7660±110 K; logg
eff=3.05±0.1. Further, log(Fe)=–0.06±0.09; log (Cr)=–0.01±0.09 with regard to standard (solar) abundances. For Cen A the resulting data — particularly the photospheric ones — are less certain, but it seems that the Fe abundance may be smaller than the standard value. 相似文献

Distributions of Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn in seawater and sediment from Mljet National Park, Adriatic Sea are presented for the first time. Natural and anthropogenic factors play an important role in determining resultant trace metals' concentrations in the region. We place particular emphasis on the saline “lakes” of Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero, which have restricted flows of seawater. In Malo Jezero lake, fresh karstic spring water generated by flooding, and weathering of dolomites are the main sources of naturally elevated Cd, Pb and Zn concentrations (20.7 ± 1.6, 289 ± 19, 1260 ± 0.08 ng L?1, respectively); anthropogenic input is negligible. In Veliko Jezero lake enhanced Cu and Zn contents originate from anthropogenic input (tourism and agriculture). Distributions of the Pb and Zn in the water columns of both lakes are influenced by natural aragonite precipitation and sedimentation. Exceptionally high total Hg concentrations of 24.2 and 33.7 ng L?1 in the water column of Malo Jezero, sampled during periods of high rainfall associated with strong eastern winds, suggest an airborne input. Total Hg concentrations in waters of both lakes are elevated because of inefficient mixing. Two different metal distribution patterns exist in the sediment columns. First, Hg, Pb, Cu and Zn show elevated concentrations in recent sediments due to anthropogenic input. Second, Cd content increases with depth due to reprecipitation via a downward redox boundary shift.Described natural processes, as well as anthropogenic influence, enhance levels of trace metals. Careful study followed by suitable interpretation based on geochemical data were necessary to distinguish natural from anthropogenic sources. 相似文献
