A facies‐based depositional model for ancient and modern,tectonically–confined tidal straits     

Sergio G. Longhitano 《地学学报》2013,25(6):446-452

Modern and ancient tidal straits are the least well understood of all tide‐dominated depositional systems. To provide an increased understanding of these systems, a facies‐based depositional model is assessed by comparing multibeam surveys of three present‐day tidally dominated seaways with a number of superbly exposed Neogene‐to‐Quaternary strait‐fill successions of Calabria (south Italy). The model points out the existence of four depositional zones, laterally adjacent from the narrowest strait centre to its terminations, distributed along symmetrical or asymmetrical seaways. These zones, whose signature is recorded in four facies associations in the Calabrian tidal straits, are as follows: (i) the strait‐centre zone, associated with the tidal current maxima and where sediments are scarce or absent; (ii) the dune‐bedded zone, where sediments form dune complexes due to tidal flow expansion; (iii) the strait‐end zone, where currents decelerate accumulating thinly bedded, fine‐grained deposits; and (iv) the strait‐margin zone, where sediment massflows descend tectonically active, steep margins towards the strait axis. In ancient, tectonically confined, narrow seaways, these facies generate a distinctive deepening‐upward vertical succession, where tidal currents are the dominant process in the sediment distribution.  相似文献   

On the origin of multi‐layer coronas between olivine and plagioclase at the gabbro–granulite transition,Valle Fértil–La Huerta Ranges,San Juan Province,Argentina

Troctolitic gabbros from Valle Fértil and La Huerta Ranges, San Juan Province, NW‐Argentina exhibit multi‐layer corona textures between cumulus olivine and plagioclase. The corona mineral sequence, which varies in the total thickness from 0.5 to 1 mm, comprises either an anhydrous corona type I with olivine|orthopyroxene|clinopyroxene+spinel symplectite|plagioclase or a hydrous corona type II with olivine|orthopyroxene|amphibole|amphibole+spinel symplectite|plagioclase. The anhydrous corona type I formed by metamorphic replacement of primary olivine and plagioclase, in the absence of any fluid/melt phase at <840 °C. Diffusion controlled metamorphic solid‐state replacement is mainly governed by the chemical potential gradients at the interface of reactant olivine and plagioclase and orthopyroxene and plagioclase. Thus, the thermodynamic incompatibility of the reactant minerals at the gabbro–granulite transition and the phase equilibria of the coronitic assemblage during subsequent cooling were modelled using quantitative μMgO–μCaO phase diagrams. Mineral reaction textures of the anhydrous corona type I indicate an inward migration of orthopyroxene on the expense of olivine, while clinopyroxene+spinel symplectite grows outward to replace plagioclase. Mineral textures of the hydrous corona type II indicate the presence of an interstitial liquid trapped between cumulus olivine and plagioclase that reacts with olivine to produce a rim of peritectic orthopyroxene around olivine. Two amphibole types are distinguished: an inclusion free, brownish amphibole I is enriched in trace elements and REEs relative to green amphibole II. Amphibole I evolves from an intercumulus liquid between peritectic orthopyroxene and plagioclase. Discrete layers of green amphibole II occur as inclusion‐free rims and amphibole II+spinel symplectites. Mineral textures and geochemical patterns indicate a metamorphic origin for amphibole II, where orthopyroxene was replaced to form an inner inclusion‐free amphibole II layer, while clinopyroxene and plagioclase were replaced to form an outer amphibole+spinel symplectite layer, at <770 °C. Calculation of the possible net reactions by considering NCKFMASH components indicates that the layer bulk composition cannot be modelled as a ‘closed’ system although in all cases the gain and loss of elements within the multi‐layer coronas (except H₂O, Na₂O) is very small and the main uncertainties may arise from slight chemical zoning of the respective minerals. Local oxidizing conditions led to the formation of orthopyroxene+magnetite symplectite enveloping and/or replacing olivine. The sequence of corona reaction textures indicates a counter clockwise P–T path at the gabbro–granulite transition at 5–6.5 kbar and temperatures below 900 °C.  相似文献   

Seasonal and vertical distributional patterns of siphonophores and medusae in the Chiloé Interior Sea,Chile     

Sergio Palma  Nelson Silva  María Cristina Retamal  Leonardo Castro 《Continental Shelf Research》2011,31(3-4):260-271

The horizontal and vertical distribution of jellyfish was assessed in the Chiloé Inland sea, in the northern area of the Chilean Patagonia. A total of 41 species of cnidarians (8 siphonophores, 31 hydromedusae, 2 scyphomedusae) were collected. Eleven jellyfish species were recorded for the first time in the area. Species richness was higher in spring than in winter (37 vs. 25 species, respectively). Species such as Muggiaea atlantica, Solmundella bitentaculata, and Clytia simplex were extremely abundant in spring. The total abundance (408,157 ind 1000 m^?3) was 18 times higher in spring than in winter (22,406 ind 1000 m^?3).The horizontal distribution of the most abundant species (four in winter, five in spring) showed decreasing abundances in the north–south direction in winter and spring. Peak abundances occurred in the northern microbasins (Reloncaví Fjord, Reloncaví and Ancud gulfs), where the water column stability, phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance were higher, compared with the southern microbasins (Corcovado Gulf, Boca del Guafo). During the spring higher jellyfish abundance season, the vertical distribution of the dominant species (except M. atlantica) showed peak values at mid-depth (30–50 m) and in the deepest sampled layer (50–200 m). This vertical distribution pattern reduced seaward transport in the shallowest layer through estuarine circulation and also limited mortality by predation in the more illuminated shallow layers. Thus, jellyfish were able to remain in the interior waters during the season of maximum biological production.  相似文献   

THE LATERAL INFLOW INTO SUBMERGED DRAINS     

A. VAN DER BEKEN  F. DE TROCH  M. DE SOMER  F. C. ZUIDEMA 《水文科学杂志》2013,58(3):273-289

ABSTRACT

An attempt is made to explain the field measurements of piezometric height and discharge rate in a submerged drain system. The lateral inflow into the drain pipe is not necessarily uniformly distributed as is usually assumed. Hence, in analysing the hydrological performance of the drain pipe in the field, this fact must be considered. A general formula (equation (11)) is presented for calculating the actual distribution of the lateral inflow and a practical application is discussed.  相似文献   

On Potential Spectroscopic Detection of Microfossils on Mars     

Giuseppe A. Marzo  Romolo Politi  Armando Blanco  Rosario Brunetto  Sergio Fonti  Vincenzo Orofino 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》2007,101(3-4):127-140

There is much evidence about the ancient presence of water on Mars and it is reasonable to suppose that simple forms of life may have developed during the geological evolution of the planet. In such a case traces of this extinct life could still be present on the planet in form of microfossils included into some geological layer. The rover payloads planned for the next decades will include spectrometers in order to accomplish various scientific tasks. In this respect, we have developed a quantitative model for microfossil inclusions into a crystalline matrix. Such a method foresees some visible effects on measurements obtained via spectroscopic techniques such as infrared reflectance and Raman spectroscopy. In this work we present the quantitative model of the fossilization process and the effects that the microfossil inclusions should have in the real spectra, evaluated by means of computer simulations. Preliminary measurements, in order to provide examples of future model testing, have been performed on samples of homogeneous composition, but with detectable microfossils content, collected at the K–T sequence placed near Gubbio (Italy). The preliminary results are presented and discussed in order to investigate the potential application of such spectroscopic techniques for the detection of extinct life.  相似文献

THE WATER-TABLE AQUIFER IN THE EASTERN COASTAL AREA OF BELGIUM     

W. DE BREUCK  G. DE MOOR 《水文科学杂志》2013,58(3):137-155

Abstract

A resistivity survey in Wenner arrangement has been conducted in the water-table aquifer in the eastern part of the Coastal Area of Belgium. Bore holes have been drilled to test the geoelectrical data and also to collect water samples. The chemical characteristics and the distribution of different water types explain the hydrochemistry of the water-table aquifer. The fresh-/brackish-water boundary as determined by the resistivity survey has been expressed in terms of total dissolved-solids content.  相似文献   

The Abbey Evaluation of Reference Sample IF-G. The Significance of Abbey's Method For Laboratory Quality     

B. T. DE HAAS  K. KOOPMANS 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》1986,10(1):19-26

Abbey's select laboratories method has been applied to the reported data for major and minor elements in the proposed GIT-IWG reference sample IF-G. The final values obtained by this method have been compared with the recommended values published by Govindaraju in 1984. Slightly different percentages are suggested for MgO, K₂O and Fe₂O₃T. The importance of applying the Abbey method by participants in co-operative studies is emphasized. Such an application gives a better understanding of data treatment and of the degree of reliability of published final values; furthermore the objective score obtained for laboratory quality will stimulate participating laboratories to improve their analytical methods and procedures. As an illustration some improvements in the laboratory of the authors are mentioned.  相似文献
