吴文昊  周长付  Oliver Wings  关谷透  董枝明 《世界地质》2013,32(3):437-446

本文首次报道了鄯善地区中侏罗统齐古组产出一新的、原地保存的巨型蜥脚类恐龙—鄯善新疆巨龙( Xinjiangtitan shanshanesis gen. et sp. nov. ) 。其特征为: 倒第2 节颈椎在腹侧后1 /4 处向后发育一条棱嵴,并在后关节面下形成一小的半圆形突; 最后两节颈椎很长( 其长度之和为股骨、胫骨长度之和的63%) ; 第1 荐肋不参与构成荐椎轭; 股骨非常粗壮( 远端最大宽度为股骨长度的33%) 。支序分析显示新疆巨龙( 新属) 与马龙溪龙互成姊妹群,无疑为马门溪龙科中的一个新的分类群。但新疆巨龙( 新属) 还具有一些更接近于梁龙类的特征,包括发育明显的栖肌突、较短的后肢和股骨第4 转子位于股骨后侧内缘等。新疆巨龙( 新属) 的体长推算为30 ～ 32 m。  相似文献   

Isotope geochemistry of the Miocene and Quaternary carbonate rocks in Rabigh area,Red Sea coast,Saudi Arabia     

《Journal of Asian Earth Sciences》2013

The Rabigh area, a coastal region north of Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia contains raised Quaternary coral reefal terraces and reworked coral fragments mixed with sand and gravel. This area has a thin exposure Lower Miocene shallow marine carbonate rocks that laterally pass into evaporites. The Miocene carbonate and evaporite rocks conformably overly the Lower Miocene siliciclastic sequence, are in turn capped by the Harrat basaltic boulders. The Miocene carbonates are made up of dolomitic packstone, wackestone and mudstone, whereas the overlying Quaternary reefal terraces are composed of coral boundstone and grainstones.The Quaternary reefal terraces of Rabigh area have been dated using the uranium-series dating method to obtain precise dates for these corals. The calculated ages (128, 212 and 235 ka) indicate that deposition took place during high sea level stands associated with interglacial times during Oxygen Isotope Stages (OIS) 5 and 7. The youngest age (128 ka) clearly corresponds to stage 5e of the last interglacial period. The obtained ages correlate well with those of the emerged reefs on the Sudanese and Egyptian coasts at the western side of the Red Sea. The broad distribution of wet climate, pluvial deposits on the continents and high sea level stands indicate a wide geographical range of the interglacial events of the Oxygen Isotope Stages (OIS) 5 and 7.The oxygen and carbon isotopic composition of the Miocene and Quaternary carbonate rocks in Rabigh area show a broad range of δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O. The Quaternary carbonate rocks have significantly higher δ¹³C than the Miocene ones, but low δ¹³C values of the Miocene samples likely indicate a high contribution of carbon from organic sources at the time of deposition. Linear trends are evident in both groups of samples supporting the likelihood of secondary alteration.  相似文献

系统分析青藏高原新生代中新世50余个沉积盆地的类型、构造背景、岩石地层序列,对青藏高原中新世构造岩相古地理演化特征进行分析和探讨。中新世,青藏高原海相沉积已经全面退出,全部转为陆相沉积,约23Ma时高原及周边不整合面广布,标志高原整体隆升。塔里木、柴达木及西宁-兰州、羌塘、可可西里等地区主体表现为大面积的构造压陷湖盆沉积。约17.2Ma左右,阿尔金山显著隆升,使柴达木盆地西叉沟一带再无生物礁灰岩出现,且在盆地西部出现了短暂的沉积间断。这一时期,柴达木盆地西部开始进入湖退期,而东南部则快速湖进;同时,大约17.7Ma索尔库里山间盆地初始凹陷形成。另外,高原腹地五道梁-沱沱河盆地受南部唐古拉山的挤压抬升,在16Ma左右结束了五道梁组的沉积,在可可西里—唢呐湖一带则再次凹陷接受唢呐湖组沉积,形成高原腹地的大型压陷湖盆。13～10Ma期间,藏南南北向断陷盆地的形成,是高原隆升到足够高度开始垮塌的标志;约8Ma以来,高原东北部几乎所有湖盆均进入湖退期,普遍出现冲积扇、辫状河和水下扇砂砾岩堆积。  相似文献   

祁连山冻土区天然气水合物地质控制因素分析   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

对祁连山冻土区天然气水合物勘探区DK-2至DK-6钻孔地层、岩心粒度、断层破碎带以及冻土层属性进行了综合分析。结果表明,研究区水合物储存首要控制因素是可为深部气源提供流体通道的区域主断层,其他小断层和破碎带可为水合物提供部分流体来源及储存空间,气体来源以深部热解气为主;不同沉积环境地层中水合物赋存层段的粒级组分含量不同,局部粗碎屑沉积亦可为天然气水合物提供有利储存空间;而水合物的储存不仅受冻土层厚度控制,还可能与冻土层岩性有很大关系,有利的"盖层"(低孔隙度、低渗透率)可能更利于水合物的赋存。此外,江仓组地层也可能对天然气水合物有一定的岩相控制作用。  相似文献   

The annual cycle of vertical mixing and restratification in the Northern Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba (Red Sea) based on high temporal and vertical resolution observations     

《Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers》2014

The stratification in the Northern Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba follows a well-known annual cycle of well-mixed conditions in winter, surface warming in spring and summer, maximum vertical temperature gradient in late summer, and erosion of stratification in fall. The strength and structure of the stratification influences the diverse coral reef ecosystem and also affects the strength of the semi-diurnal tidal currents. Long-term (13 months) moored thermistor data, combined with high temporal and vertical resolution density profiles in deep water, show that transitions from summer to fall and winter to spring/summer occur in unpredictable, pulses and are not slow and gradual, as previously deduced from monthly hydrographic measurements and numerical simulations forced by monthly climatologies. The cooling and deepening of the surface layer in fall is marked by a transition to large amplitude, semi-diurnal isotherm displacements in the stratified intermediate layer. Stratification is rebuilt in spring and summer by intermittent pulses of warm, buoyant water that can increase the upper 100–150 m by 2 °C that force surface waters down 100–150 m over a matter of days. The stratification also varies in response to short-lived eddies and diurnal motions during winter. Thus, the variability in the stratification exhibits strong depth and seasonal dependence and occurs over range of timescales: from tidal to seasonal. We show that monthly or weekly single-cast hydrographic data under-samples the variability of the stratification in the Gulf and we estimate the error associated with single-cast assessments of the stratification.  相似文献   

The Place Names of the Middle East Before and After Ptolemaic Cartography: An Emblematic Selection from Ancient Maps     

Silvia Siniscalchi  Cosimo Palagiano 《The Cartographic journal》2013,50(3):205-216

The cultural gap between Europe and Asia (at first political and then religious) saw an increase with the spread of Islam, which, to the European imagination, was synonymous with ‘foreign’. This separation grew after the discovery of America (1492) with the loss of the central commercial position of the Mediterranean reducing the level of contact between the countries of its basin. Traces of these changes can be recognized on historic Western maps in the transformation of their toponyms (place names). Through a comparative cartographic analysis, this paper examines some of the key changes and phases that occurred during the era.  相似文献   

2012年6月30日新疆新源、和静交界Ms6．6地震的中期粗略预测     

郭安宁  郭增建 《内陆地震》2013,(4):291-294

基于静中动判据和三性法,对2012年6月30日新源、和静交界Ms6．6地震的粗略中期预测作了回顾。静中动判据指的是1979年3月29日有一个6级地震在库车东北发生,它对预测大震的地区有指示意义。该震距2012年6月30日新源、和静交界Ms6．6地震约150km。由于地震越大与1外因的关系越密切,所以我们认为北天山地区1812年尼勒克8级地震与1911年阿拉木图81/2级地震之间的时间间隔为（4×25）-1年可能反映着有25年周期的外因存在,这个外因对7级地震也会有触发作用,1914年巴里坤7．5级地震即属于此。这3次大震组成的时间系列对以后大震的发生年份有一定指示意义,所以我们从1812年尼勒克大震的发生年份算起,经8×25年,即2012年作为库车周围200km的范围可能发生7级地震的年份。但实际发生的地震震级偏低,只有6．6级。  相似文献

Synoptic measurements of episodic offshore flow events in the central mid-Atlantic Bight     

Brian Dzwonkowski  B.L. Lipphardt Jr.  Josh T. Kohut  Xiao-Hai Yan  Richard W. Garvine 《Continental Shelf Research》2010

Sub-inertial across-shelf flows over the central mid-Atlantic Bight were examined using long-range CODAR SeaSonde type HF-radar surface velocities for the period August 2002 through February 2004. Across-shelf flow in this region was found to be episodic, with offshore flow occurring six times more often than onshore flow. Several recurring spatial patterns in offshore flow are identified, and two of these patterns emerge as statistically significant using empirical orthogonal functions. The most common type of offshore flow was a shelf-wide flow with events occurring throughout the year. The most energetic and well-defined shelf-wide flow events occurred during October through April, when the water column was less stratified. Other offshore flow patterns were more localized, with a flow at the bend or ‘point’ in the New Jersey coast being most common and most energetic. The offshore flow events identified here are capable of driving significant offshore transport, with more than one-third of offshore flow episodes having potential transport distances of greater than 14 km. In addition, clusters of multiple offshore flow events are shown to be capable of transporting near-surface material across much of the continental shelf.  相似文献   

The Luingo caldera: The south-easternmost collapse caldera in the Altiplano–Puna plateau,NW Argentina     

Silvina Guzmán  Ivan Petrinovic 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》2010

This article identifies the Pucarilla–Cerro Tipillas Volcanic Complex and its major eruptive source, the Luingo caldera (26° 10′S–66° 40′W). Detailed geological mapping, stratigraphic sections, facies analysis and correlations, including the identification of typical caldera components, allow us to infer the position of a collapse caldera, elongated at N65° and with a diameter of 19 km × 13 km, which is responsible for an eruption of 135 km³ (DRE) of magma. The high-crystal contents of the associated ignimbrites, combined with its tectonic setting, indicate that regional and local tectonic structures played a crucial role in the formation of the caldera.  相似文献
