Shear wave splitting analyses have been carried out using teleseismic data from broad-band seismograph stations deployed at temporary and permanent locations in Dronning Maud Land (DML), Antarctica. In most cases, the observed anisotropy can be related to major tectonic events that formed the present-day Antarctic continent. We rule out an anisotropic contribution from recent asthenospheric flow. At the Russian base Novolazarevskaya near the coast in central DML, waveform inversion suggests a two-layer model where the fast direction of the upper layer is oriented parallel to Archean fabrics in the lithosphere, whereas the anisotropy of the lower layer is interpreted to have been created during the Jurassic Gondwana break-up. Recordings at the South African base Sanae IV, however, show enigmatic results. For narrow backazimuthal segments, splitting parameters show strong variations together with a multitude of isotropic measurements, indicative of complex scattering that cannot be explained by simple one- or two-layer anisotropic models. In the interior of the continent, the data are consistent with single-layer anisotropy, but show significant spatial variations in splitting parameters. A set of temporary stations across the Heimefront shear zone in western DML yield splitting directions that we interpret as frozen anisotropy from Proterozoic assembly of the craton. An abrupt change in fast axis direction appears to mark a suture between the Grunehogna craton, a fragment of the Kalahari–Kaapvaal craton in southern Africa and the Mesoproterozoic Maudheim Province.  相似文献

藏南岗巴-定日地区发育着西藏最晚期的海相沉积，对这套海相沉积的研究，可提供关于西藏特提斯演化晚期的良好信息，本文对岗巴-定日地区始新世遮普惹组的化石碳酸盐岩微相进行了较为详细的分析和研究。参考Wilson(1975)的标准微相，初步识别出10种微相和5种生物相类型。同时对遮普惹组中的砾状灰岩的成因机制作了有益的探讨，它完全是由沉积作用而成；胶结物不是源于物质的重新分配，而是台地边缘斜坡的等深流沉积。以此为基础，对西藏特提斯晚期沉积环境的演变进行了较为详细的分析。笔者认为：岗巴-定日盆地在始新世Ypresian-Lutetian早期接受海侵；自Lutetian晚期开始，区内总体处于一种海退环境，但由于受板块碰撞作用的影响，岗巴地区在Lutetian晚期-Bartonian晚期成为-深水坳陷盆地；至Priabonian早期，海水完全退出本区。  相似文献

Gyrolithes:边缘海沉积的特征遗迹化石     

齐永安  胡斌 《沉积学报》2001,19(3):440-443

Gyrolithes为螺旋形垂直居住潜穴,是具成对附肢的两侧对称甲壳类所建造,出现在近海泻湖和河口湾等边缘海和极浅海环境中,常与半咸水条件有关。塔里木盆地塔中地区诸多钻井的下志留统塔塔埃尔塔格组上部大量发育有此类潜穴,在局部层位可形成强烈的扰动构造。伴生的遗迹化石很少,只有极个别的Beaconites。根据沉积学、地球化学和古生态学特征,这类潜穴形成在半咸水的泻湖环境中。这类潜穴外壁基本平直,在泥质沉积物中掘穴深度大而不变形,而且其充填物与围岩完全不同,这些特点表明Gyrolithes为固底控制的遗迹化石。  相似文献   

下庄铀成矿古水热系统排泄区（减压区）铀成矿作用研究     

刘金辉  李学礼 《矿床地质》2001,20(3):259-264

形成于古水热系统排泄区（减压区）的下庄花岗岩型铀矿床是地下热水与岩石相互作用的产物。矿物流体包裹体水文地球化学分析表明，成矿期铀成矿古热水溶液气体成分主要为CO2，水化学类型为HCO3－Ca.Na型，F－Ca型和HCO3.F－K型。地球化学模式和热力学计算证明，热水溶液中铀的存在形式为UO2（CO3）2^2-,UO2F3^-和UO2F4^2-。热水溶液深循环过程中CO2的加入可使溶液铀沉淀临界电位值（EhC,U)明显降低，从而保持水－铀比电位值（ΔEhW,U)为正值（ΔEhW,U=EhW-EhC,U)使铀在深部相对还原的条件下仍能稳定迁移。当富铀成矿热液进入减压排泄区时，由于溶液物理－化学条件的改变，发生CO2脱气作用和中和还原作用，导致ΔEhW,U小于零，使铀沉淀、富集，最终形成花岗岩型铀矿床。  相似文献

Histological bone structure of Lower Cretaceous dinosaurs from southwest Istria (Croatia)     

Z. Kozari?  M. Šparica  Z. Bajraktarevi? 《Cretaceous Research》1996,17(6):741-749

Recently discovered dinosaur bones in submerged near-shore deposits of southwest Istria include one vertebra, one femur, and two rib fragments. They all show well-developed vascularization. The large amounts of primary bone tissue in the vertebral and femoral compacta as well as in one rib fragment suggest that they belong to sub-adult animals which were growing rapidly. The structure of a second rib fragment differs in that it consists of secondary bone. The absence of lines of arrested growth is evident in all investigated bones. This suggests a sustained manner of bone deposition.  相似文献

肖兵  段承华 《新疆地质》1992,(3)

新疆乌什—阿克苏地区下寒武统玉尔吐斯组的小壳化石丰富,已描述了近50属90种,包括1个新属,15个新种。计有软舌螺类、似软舌螺类、单板类、腹足类、骨针类及分类位置未定的化石,还有节肢动物门的高肌虫类。按小壳化石在地层纵向出现的次序及其代表性,可将玉尔吐斯组小壳动物群的比石划分为3个带,即1.Anabarites trisulcatus带;2.Cambroclavus-Aurisella带;3.Adyshevitheca-Xinjiangella带。其中1带可与梅树村阶I.Anabarites-Protohertzina带对比;2—3带大致可与梅树村阶Ⅱ.Paragloborilus-Siphogonuchites带—Ⅲ.Sinosachites-Lapworthella带对比。因Aanbarites trisulcatus的发现,证实玉尔吐斯组的下界可与梅树阶的底界对比;玉尔吐斯组顶部发现的高肌虫有别于筇竹寺阶的高肌虫。前者与大量梅树村期小壳动物共生,可以认为梅树村期已经出现高肌虫的先遣分子。  相似文献

Late Quaternary climatic history of the Chilean Channels based on fossil pollen and beetle analyses,with an analysis of the modern vegetation and pollen rain     

Allan C. Ashworth  Vera Markgraf  Carolina Villagran 《第四纪科学杂志》1991,6(4):279-291

Fossil beetles and pollen were examined from an intermorainal bog at Puerto Edén, Isla Wellington, Chile (latitude 49°08'S, longitude 74°25'W). Wood from near the base of the section has an age of 12 960 ± 150 yr BP. Occurrence of flightless beetle species in the basal peat sample is evidence that some members of the biota survived the last glacial maximum in refugia. The assumption that the Chilean Channels were entirely ice-covered is incorrect. Plants and insects that invaded the deglaciated terrain were those of an Empetrum heathland in which patches of Nothofagus forest were restricted to sheltered locations. The climate supporting the heathland is inferred to have been windier and probably drier than that of the present day. From 13 000 yr BP to 9500 yr BP Nothofagus forest expanded, possibly in response to less windiness and more available moisture. Neither the fossil beetle nor pollen data support a return to significantly colder conditions between 11 000 and 10 000 yr BP at the time of the Younger Dryas Stade. From 9500 to 5500 yr BP the climate was as wet as that of the present day, based on an increased representation of the pollen of moorland plants and of aquatic beetle species. From 5500 to 3000 yr BP the climate was drier, as indicated by the expansion of Empetrum heath and the reduction in mesic habitats. From 3000 yr BP to the present-day mesic habitats dominated as the climate returned to a wetter mode. The alternatively wetter and drier episodes are attributed to latitudinal shifts in the position of storm tracks in the belt of Southern Westerlies.  相似文献
