A new species of Araucaria, Araucaria beipiaoensis sp. nov., collected from the Middle Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation, southern hill of Shebudai village, near Beipiao city, western Liaoning is based on a permineralized female cone, which is ovate to elliptical in shape, about 11 cm × 7 cm × 4.5 cm in size. The cone bears rhomboid bracts that are spirally attached, texture thicker, with wings on both sides, with a detached lamina-like apex at the tip. In inner structure the ovuliferous scales are thicker and fused with bracts at the end with a ligular sulcns. There is one wingless ovule/seed per seed-scale complex embedded in the ovuliferous scale tissue, with the micropyle directed toward the cone axis. The ovules/seeds are long ovate or elliptical in shape, 1 cm long and near the base about 3 mm in diameter; the ovule/seed integuments have begun differentiation into 3 layers： the sarcotesta, sclerotesta, and endotesta. The nucellus is free from the enclosing integuments except in the chalazal region where it is fused to the inner layer （endotesta） of integument. Some ovules show cellularized nucellar tissue. Mature seeds exhibit the papery-thin wavy nucellus characteristically near to the micropyle. The embryonic tissue appears to be four cotyledons. The morphology and structure of the cone shows a close relationship to the araucarian cones of fossil and living genera but differs from any known species. The new species is distributed in the Middle Jurassic of the northern hemisphere, especially Asia, and has important significance for the evolution of the Family Araucariaceae.  相似文献   

Oviraptorosaurian Eggs (Dinosauria) with Embryonic Skeletons Discovered for the First Time in China     

Yen-nien CHENG  JI Qiang  Xiao-chun WU  Hsi-yin SHAN 《《地质学报》英文版》2008,82(6):1089-1094

Two elongatoolithid dinosaur eggs from the Upper Cretaceous of Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province and the embryonic skeletons they bear are described. They represent the first oviraptorosaurian eggs with embryonic skeletons in China and provide the first example that an oospecies can be correlated to certain dinosaur taxon/taxa. The two eggs are the same as the pair of the eggs inside a female oviraptorosaurian pelvis from the same horizon of the same area in both macro- and micro-structures of the egg shells, and can he referred to the oospecies, Macroolithus yaotunensis Zhao, 1975. The morphology of the preserved part of the embryonic skeletons indicates that they may have been laid by an oviraptorid, Heyuannia huangi from Guangdong Province or a closely related oviraptorosaurian, which may have been lived in the Ganzhou area too in the Late Cretaceous. The embryonic skeletons of the two eggs are not in the same developing stage. In one of the eggs, the postzygapophysis of the preserved vertebrae are well ossified, indicating that it was just hatched.  相似文献   

A New Genus and Species of Sapeornithidae from Lower Cretaceous in Western Liaoning, China     

YUAN Chongxi 《《地质学报》英文版》2008,82(1):48-55

Sapeornithidae is a basal pygostylian family of Early Cretaceous primitive birds, in which only one genus and species, Sapeornis chaoyangensis, was reported before. This paper deals with a new genus and species of this family, Didactylornis jii gen. et sp. nov., which was unearthed from the Early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation in western Liaoning. According to our phylogenetic analyses, both Didactylornis gen. nov. and Sapeornis form a sister group, which is basal to the clade formed by Confuciusornis and all the more derived birds, and more closely related to the short-tailed pygostylian birds than to the long-tailed avialian birds. The early history of pygostylian birds is poorly documented except for the studies of Confuciusornis and Sapeornis. The discovery ofDidactylornisjii gen. et sp. nov. adds the new material for the study on the early evolution of birds.  相似文献   

鄂尔多斯地块早白垩世构造-热事件:杭锦旗玄武岩的Ar-Ar年代学证据   总被引：8，自引：3，他引：5  

邹和平  张珂  李刚 《大地构造与成矿学》2008,32(3)

在鄂尔多斯地块北部杭锦旗黑石头沟,于下白垩统砂岩之上发现了一层玄武岩。其SiO2(46.93%)较低而碱含量(K2O+Na2O=6.21%)较高,组合指数σ=8.0,含标准矿物Ne,属于碱性橄榄玄武岩。Ar-Ar激光阶段加热定年结果表明,该玄武岩具有126.2±0.4Ma的Ar-Ar年龄。年龄数据表明杭锦旗黑石头沟玄武岩形成于早白垩世,反映鄂尔多斯地块在早白垩世发生了一次构造-岩浆-热事件,这与华北、乃至整个中国东部在早白垩世发生了较普遍的构造-岩浆-热事件具有一致性。这次构造-岩浆-热事件可能引起深部流体自地下深部上涌及在地块内部运移,为各种成矿元素的迁移、沉淀、富集和成矿创造了合适条件。  相似文献

金沙江下咱日堆积体的成因和稳定性初步分析   总被引：4，自引：2，他引：2  

张明  胡瑞林 《工程地质学报》2008,16(4):445-449

下咱日堆积体的稳定性对拟建的梨园水电站大坝和附近的水力设施有着重要的意义。利用下咱日堆积体的勘察资料,本文分析后认为下咱日堆积体经历了中更新世的金江冰期和晚更新世的丽江冰期两次冰期的作用,是由冰碛物、河流沉积物、湖相沉积物及崩积物组成的复杂成因堆积体;稳定性初步分析认为,下咱日堆积体局部有坍塌,但是整体稳定,以后稳定与否的关键是堆积体中湖相沉积层及坡脚的松散砾石层的稳定性。  相似文献   

中元古代晚期浅海高能沉积环境中的海绿石:以天津蓟县剖面铁岭组为例   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7

海绿石是一种富钾、富铁的含水层状铝硅酸盐矿物,在沉积学领域常被作为一种普遍的指相矿物。多年研究的结果表明,现代海绿石主要形成在慢速、弱还原的较深水环境中,而且还可以作为"凝缩段"的识别标志之一。天津蓟县剖面中元古界铁岭组第二段灰岩中的海绿石,产在高能叠层石岩礁之中,主要以胶体形式富集在叠层石和均一石的边界上,代表较为典型的原地海绿石;较高的氧化钾含量(大于8%)而显示出高成熟海绿石的特点。很明显,铁岭组二段灰岩中的原地高成熟海绿石,不但不能作为"凝缩段"的识别标志,而且也不是长时间地层间断的产物。由于形成在正常高能浅海环境,而且处于中元古代末期,与现代沉积中的海绿石存在较大的差异,可能代表了中元古代末期的正常浅海还处于含氧量不够充分的弱还原状态,最终使铁岭组灰岩中的海绿石成为前寒武纪海绿石产出的一个典型代表,也间接的表明了在漫长的地质历史演变过程中海绿石产出的多样性特点。  相似文献   

碎屑岩自生粘土矿物的沉淀作用及其对储层的影响——以川西坳陷上三叠统须家河组砂岩为例     

刘昊年  黄思静  邓丽丽  吴萌 《华南地质与矿产》2008,(4)

粘土矿物是影响碎屑岩储层物性的重要因素.本文以川西坳陷孝泉-新场-合兴场地区上三叠统须家河组砂岩为例,应用铸体薄片、普通薄片、X射线衍射分析和扫描电镜分析,研究了在成岩过程中自生粘土矿物的沉淀作用及其对储层的影响.结果表明自生绿泥石对储层原生孔隙的保存和次生孔隙的发育有利,自生高岭石的含量反映了次生孔隙的发育程度,而伊利石对储层的影响是负面的.  相似文献

准噶尔盆地腹部车—莫古隆起中段头屯河组存在证据及其研究意义     

杨智  何生  武恒志  孟闲龙 《地球学报》2008,29(4):469-477

准噶尔盆地腹部中晚侏罗世发育的车-莫古隆起形成诸多类型的地层圈闭,是油气运移的长期有利指向区,研究区目的层段(J/K不整合面附近)是否存在头屯河组对本区勘探很有意义.基于单井岩性电性组合特征、古生物、粘土矿物、地层接触关系等方面的资料,发现车-莫古隆起中段白垩系底界面下普遍发育的红层段是头屯河组的特征标志层,具有头屯河组特有的Classopollis-Quadraeculina-Piceaepollenites孢粉组合,粘土矿物组合上具有富含伊利石、不含或含少量高岭石的特征而区别于较富含伊利石、高岭石的下部层段,连井地层对比及地震剖面标定也表明车-莫古隆起中段存在较薄层头屯河组分布的平台区.这一新认识对本区圈闭评价和成藏条件评价等有指导作用.  相似文献
