The non-marine Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary ( KPgB) in Jiayin of Heilongjiang was first defined and reported in China by the authors' research team in 2011 . Thereafter the continuous research on the KPgB and its related Late Cretaceous biota in Jiayin has been made by the authors in 2012-2020 . The achievements of the research are mainly reflected as follows:(1) a new drilling borehole with 60 m in depth carried out in the Xiaoheyan of Jiayin in 2016 , supplemented new palynological evidence for the KPgB definition in 2011;( 2 ) some radiometric dating newly made on the strata related to the KPgB in Jiayin and its neighboring Russian area, provided the supplemental evidence for the KPgB definition in Jiayin;( 3 ) many new fossils found by the au-thors, represented by the angiosperms Dalembia and Nelumbo, refresh understanding the Late Cretaceous envi-ronment of Jiayin;and (4) the TEM method is applied in the study of pollen exine ultrastructure of Pseudoin-tegricorpus, Wodehouseia, and Aquilapollenites, promoting the late Maastrichtian ecological study in Jiayin, re-lated to the KPgB.  相似文献

In ancient Egypt, lakes, canals, and other water bodies were an essential part of the sacred landscape in which temples were embedded. In recent years, geoarchaeological research at the site of the Temple of Bastet at Bubastis in the southeastern Nile Delta has proven the existence of two water canals surrounding the temple. It has now been investigated whether these canals were connected to the Temple of Pepi I (2300–2250 B.C.E.), located approximately 100 m to the west of the Temple of Bastet. To explore the Holocene landscape genesis of the Temple of Pepi I, 15 drillings and six geoelectrical profile lines were performed in the surroundings of the temple in spring 2022. The results show loamy to clayey sediments in deeper sections of all drillings with a maximum thickness of 1.70 m, indicating a marshy or swampy depositional environment. Based on the recovered sediment sequences and archaeological remains in the vicinity of the Temple of Pepi I, the marshy or swampy area existed before the Fourth Dynasty. During the Old Kingdom (ca. 2850–2180 B.C.E.), the former marshland either dried up through natural processes or was intentionally drained and filled with sediments for subsequent use for occupation. Regarding the original research question, there is as yet no evidence for a direct connection to the canals of the Temple of Bastet.  相似文献
