Trace and rare earth element contents were determined by SIMS technique in clinopyroxene and mica crystals from minette lamprophyric enclaves in a potassic syenite host. This co-mingled system was crystallized at high pressures, which varied about 3–5 GPa, as indicated by the presence of K-clinopyroxenes and pyrope-rich garnet with measurable amounts of K₂O and Na₂O, among the near-liquidus phases. Major and trace element composition of these lamprophyric enclaves is quite similar to those observed in silica-rich lamproites, suggesting that similar sources were involved in their origin. In a general view, the concentrations of most trace and rare earth elements in clinopyroxene of the studied enclaves are higher than those referred to by other authors. Clinopyroxene/melt partition coefficient for most trace elements are close to determinations in alkali-basalts and lamproites from Leucite Hills, with considerable differences relative to Gaussberg lamproites. Furthermore, these partition data are completely different from those determined for potassic lavas crystallized under crustal pressures. Spidergrams for clinopyroxenes exhibit negative-Sr anomalies relative to LREE, which have been associated by most authors to crystallization under low-pressures, out of garnet stability field. The presence of pyrope together with K-clinopyroxene excludes such hypotheses for the studied enclaves. Y and HREE are concentrated in clinopyroxene, whilst the other trace elements have Kd<1. LIL elements, except Rb, have incompatible (Kd<1) behavior in phlogopite. The high partition coefficient for Nb (Kd>3) determined in the studied phlogopite is unusual in lamproites, lamprophyres, and basalts, but frequently observed in phlogopite from metasomatic mantle samples, as well as in acid magmas. This partition value may indicate the lack of other mineral phase with high partition for this element during crystallization, and may be enhanced by the liquid composition progressively closer to alkali feldspar, an unsuitable structure for six-coordinated cations. Ce/Yb, Rb/Sr, and Zr/Hf ratios in clinopyroxene and mica suggest that the minettic magma could produce the host Piquiri potassic syenite by fractional crystallization. This hypothesis is not consistent with Ba concentrations in clinopyroxene and mica, which suggest that a Ba-bearing phase (e.g. alkali feldspar) should be among the fractionated phases in order to produce the potassic syenites.  相似文献   

Sur la mesure de l'intensité du champ magnétique terrestre et la distribution du magnétisme dans les aimants     

Bernard Leprêtre  Jean-Louis Le Mouël 《Comptes Rendus Geoscience》2005,337(15):1384-1391

The measurement of the horizontal component, H, of the geomagnetic field represents an important part of geomagneticians work from 1830 to the end of the 19th century. This measurement remained difficult at the required accuracy of ${10}^{\mathrm{?9}}\text{T}$ (1 nT or $1\gamma$), till the advent of proton and optical pumping magnetometers in geomagnetic observatories, around 1955. The measurement of H consisted in determining the mutual torque between two cylindrical magnets, by measuring either oscillation periods or angular deviations. Poisson was the first, indisputably, to propose the general principle of the measurement, in 1825. But Gauss, some years later (1832), successfully operated his famous oscillation–deviation method, described since then in all the elementary manuals of physics. The computation of the mutual torque depends on the tri-dimensional distribution of the magnetization in each one of the magnets. In the absence of an accurate-enough knowledge of these distributions, Poisson, Gauss, and their successors showed how to make the computations with a minimum number of hypotheses on them. Nevertheless physicists, in particular French ones, worked on the ‘distribution of magnetism’ in magnets; the first of them was Coulomb. We come back to this question through experiments conducted in the magnetic observatory of Chambon-la-Forêt, France. To cite this article: B. Leprêtre, J.-L. Le Mouël, C. R.

Karsts polyphasés, faciès marins et continentaux dans le Paléocène de la partie orientale des Pyrénées fran?aises     

Pierre-Jean Combes  Bernard Peybernès  Marie-José Fondecave-Wallez 《Eclogae Geologicae Helvetiae》2004,97(2):155-174

In the Eastern part of French Pyrenees, the Cucugnan area (Southern Corbières) corresponded during the early/Mid-Paleocene (Danian/Selandian) to a narrow transitional zone between the sea to the South (Pyrenean Paleocene Trough) and the continent (fluvio-palustrine and lacustrine Vitrollian deposits) to the North. To the South, in the North-Pyrenean Zone, the polygenic marine breccias and the associated Dano-Selandian Globigerinid-bearing hemipelagites have been preserved within successive paleokarsts superimposed onto the carbonate substratum (ante-Albian). Four paleosurfaces are recognized, principally filled by marine internal sediments with proximal and distal facies. To the North, in the Sub-Pyrenean Zone, a continental foreland basin is characterized by four formations of variegated Microcodium-bearing marls and channelized conglomerates, separated by erosional paleosurfaces underlining well-marked unconformities. An event correlation (chronodiagrams) between the marine realm to the South and the continental realm to the North is proposed, using the successive paleosurfaces and the lithological sequences (same number within the two realms). Our paleogeographic reconstruction shows, to the North, the Lake of Cucugnan and, to the South, a calcareous mountainous zone broken by the juxtaposition of deep paleocanyons (eroded in a continental context) later converted into rias submitted to marine oscillations. Several palinspastic transects are reconstructed: they show the polyphase control of the Frontal North-Pyrenean Overthrust on the Paleocene sedimentation and the importance of the successive intra-Vitrollian compressions/ transpressions (phase fini-crétacée auct.) inducing, within the two juxtaposed realms, emersions, erosions and karstic features which give a very contrasted paleogeography during a period characterized by plate convergence and creation of steep topographies.Manuscrit reçu le 25 septembre 2003 Révision acceptée le 4 mai 2004  相似文献   

Minor changes in surface-water fertility across the oceanic anoxic event 1d (latest Albian,SE France) evidenced by calcareous nannofossils     

Fabienne?GiraudEmail author  Davide?Olivero  Fran?ois?Baudin  Stéphane?Reboulet  Bernard?Pittet  Olivier?Proux 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》2003,92(2):267-284

The latest Albian sediments deposited in the Vocontian basin in south-eastern France record the oceanic anoxic event (OAE) 1d, locally named the Breistroffer interval. They are represented by argillaceous marls and marls, containing organic matter (total organic carbon varying from 0.8 to 1%). Changes in calcareous nannofossil abundance and assemblage composition as well as macrofauna abundance, ichnofossil assemblage, and bioturbation intensity were analysed in order to evaluate the main palaeoenvironmental factors controlling the deposition of the OAE 1d sediments in this area. The pelagic carbonate production is limited and the carbonate fraction is predominantly of nektonic/benthic, and of allochthonous origin from carbonate platforms. The enrichment in organic carbon within the Breistroffer interval is weak and not associated with high surface-water productivity. The organic matter is mainly terrigenous. Its record is due to (1) a good preservation under dysoxic conditions within the sediments, and (2) a weak input of allochthonous carbonates. Eustatic fluctuations strongly influenced the variations of nannofossil and macrofauna abundances. Distinctive patterns in nannofossil assemblages and macrofauna abundances within the Breistroffer interval are also recognized, reflecting changes from mesotrophic to more oligotrophic conditions which are probably controlled by climate.  相似文献

A comparison between thomson scatter and meteor radar wind measurements in the 65–105 km altitude region at Arecibo     

J.D. Mathews  M.P. Sulzer  C.A. Tepley  R. Bernard  J.L. Fellous  M. Glass  M. Massebeuf  S. Ganguly  R.M. Harper  R.A. Behnke  J.C.G. Walker 《Planetary and Space Science》1981,29(3):341-348

The results of simultaneous meteor and Thomson scatter radar wind measurements in the 65–105 km altitude region are presented. The two radars are located in Puerto Rico where the 430-MHz Thomson scatter radar at Arecibo Observatory is employed along with the French (CNET) portable meteor radar which is at a 40-km distance. The two sets of wind measurements compare quite favorably during periods of coincident observation. The meteor radar yields continuous results while the Thomson scatter radar is usable only during daylight hours. The Thomson scatter results, on the other hand, extend down to 65 km altitude and are available with better height and time resolutions than the meteor radar results. The two measurement techniques are therefore complementary.  相似文献

FLOW DIRECTION AND BRANCHING GEOMETRY AT JUNCTIONS IN DENDRITIC RIVER NETWORKS*     

Bernard De Serres  Andr G. Roy 《The Professional geographer》1990,42(2):194-201

Automatic determination of flow direction from a partial view of a drainage network is a problem, notably in remote sensing. The main approach to determining which river link is pointing downstream uses spatial reasoning based on local features at junctions. Theoretical and empirical works on junction angles suggest that the two consecutive links which bound the most acute angle are the upstream links. This rule was tested using 2279 river junctions digitized from 19 dendritic drainage networks and was correct in nearly 90% of the cases. This result is better than that obtained from the decision table designed by Haralick, Wang et al. (1985) for the same purpose.  相似文献   

Further studies of non-maxwellian effects associated with the thermal escape of a planetary atmosphere     

Bernard Shizgal  Michael J. Lindenfeld 《Planetary and Space Science》1980,28(2):159-163

A recent calculation by Lindenfeld and Shizgal (1979) for the non-Maxwellian effects associated with the thermal escape of a dilute gas from a planetary atmosphere is extended. The modifications include retention of a non-linear term in the integral equation for the velocity distribution function, neglected in the earlier work. The retention of the non-linear term yields for low values of the escape parameter correction factors for the escape flux somewhat in better agreement with the Monte-Carlo results. In addition, the escaping gas density in this paper is given by the barometric distribution, instead of the previous assumption of a constant dependence with altitude. A detailed discussion of the role of the altitude dependence of the number density on the escape flux is also presented.  相似文献   

Present weathering rates in a humid tropical watershed: Nsimi, South Cameroon   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Jean-Jacques Braun  Jules Remy Ndam Ngoupayou  Bernard Dupre  Jean-Loup Boeglin  Brunot Nyeck  Luc Sigha Nkamdjou  Jean-Pierre Muller 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2005,69(2):357-387

The study of biogeochemical and hydrological cycles in small experimental watersheds on silicate rocks, common for the Temperate Zone, has not yet been widely applied to the tropics, especially humid areas. This paper presents an updated database for a six-year period for the small experimental watershed of the Mengong brook in the humid tropics (Nsimi, South Cameroon). This watershed is developed on Precambrian granitoids (North Congo shield) and consists of two convexo-concave lateritic hills surrounding a large flat swamp covered by hydromorphic soils rich in upward organic matter. Mineralogical and geochemical investigations were carried out in the protolith, the saprolite, the hillside lateritic soils, and the swamp hydromorphic soils. Biomass chemical analyses were done for the representative species of the swamp vegetation. The groundwater was analysed from the parent rock/saprolite weathering front to the upper fringe in the hillside and swamp system. The chemistry of the wet atmospheric and throughfall deposits and the Mengong waters was monitored.In the Nsimi watershed the carbon transfer occurs primarily in an organic form and essentially as colloids produced by the slow biodegradation of the swamp organic matter. These organic colloids contribute significantly to the mobilization and transfer of Fe, Al, Zr, Ti, and Th in the uppermost first meter of the swamp regolith. When the organic colloid content is low (i.e., in the hillside groundwater), Th and Zr concentrations are extremely low (<3 pmol/L, ICP-MS detection limits). Strongly insoluble secondary thorianite (ThO₂) and primary zircon (ZrSiO₄) crystals control their mobilization, respectively. This finding thus justifies the potential use of both these elements as inert elements for isoelement mass balance calculations pertaining to the hillside regolith.Chloride can not be used as a conservative tracer of hydrological processes and chemical weathering in this watershed. Biogenic recycling significantly influences the low-Cl input fluxes. Sodium is a good tracer of chemical weathering in the watershed. The sodium solute flux corrected from cyclic salt input was used to assess the chemical weathering rate. Even though low (2.8 mm/kyr), the chemical weathering rate predominates over the mechanical weathering rate (1.9 mm/kyr). Compared to the Rio Icacos watershed, the most studied tropical site, the chemical weathering fluxes of silica and sodium in the Mengong are 16 and 40 times lower, respectively. This is not only related to the protective role of the regolith, thick in both cases, but also to differences in the hydrological functioning. This is to be taken into account in the calculations of the carbon cycle balance for large surfaces like that of the tropical forest ecosystems on a stable shield at the global level.  相似文献
