In the Inner Mongolia axis and Jiaoliao anteclise along the northern margin of the North China Platform.it has been found that the strata formerly considered as Archaean and Proterozoic are in fact an ophiolite suitesimilar to the Early Palaeozoic Ondor Sum Group in the Northern Geosyncline region of China. The stratahave been named in northern Liaoning as the Qinghezhen Group. The emphasis of this paper is on the discus-sion of the simall shelly fossils found in the siliceous rocks in the upper part of the Qinghezhen Group. Thisophiolite suite stretches in an E-W direction for about 1000 km along the northern margin of the North ChinaPlatform. in which 15 fossil localities with stable stratigraphic horizons have been discovered. In this paper. 4types. 7 genera (including 5 new ones) and 10 species (including 8 new ones and 1 new subspecies) aredescribed, which are collectively referred to as the Qinghezhen Fauna. The characteristics of these fossils are:shell form simple. the maximum length not exceeding 4 mm. with obvious shell wall and wall ornaments. TheQinghezhen Fauna is comparable in shell structure of some genera and species with the Meishucun Fauna inSouth China, but differs from the latter in having only monotonous fossil groups developed in a distinctly va-ried ecological environment. The two faunas may belong to the same evolutionary stage of the Early Cambrianbut have developed parallelly in different regions. The existence of the Qinghezhen Fauna represents an impor-tant biological event in the Early Cambrian in the Northern Geosyncline region of China. The discovery of theQinghezhen Fauna will bring new knowledge and profound influence to a series of problems on basic geologyand mineral deposit prospecting such as the Cambrian faunas. biogeographical povincialism in China and thegeotectonic features of the northern margin of the North China Platform. 相似文献
The equivalent porous medium (EPM) method is an efficient approximation method for groundwater yield analysis considering the equivalent permeability in a fractured geologic medium (FGM). The EPM method is widely used in many practical hydrogeological problems from local to regional scales. However, when calculating water head and velocity distributions, the suitability of the EPM model remains insufficiently evaluated. The suitability refers to the head error caused by the application of the EPM model. The smaller the error, the better the suitability. In this study, the influence of fracture geometric attributes on the suitability was quantitatively studied in numerical simulation experiments, and the EPM model simulation results were compared to those obtained with the discrete fracture network (DFN) model. The results indicated that the suitability decreased with increasing fracture spacing. When the fracture spacing was smaller than 0.6 m, the influence of an increase in the fracture spacing on the suitability was obvious. For the same fracture spacing, the suitability generally increased with increasing trace length. When the spatial variability of fracture aperture is not considered, the change of the fracture aperture did not impact the suitability. The fracture orientation slightly impacted the suitability, which can be ignored. An evaluation standard based on fracture parameters is proposed to estimate the suitability of the EPM model, which provides a scientific basis to ascertain whether this model can be applied to a given site to solve the head-related hydrogeological issues with FGMs.
