Paleogene-Neogene calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy and paleoecological inferences from northern Campos Basin,Brazil (well Campos-01)     

《Journal of South American Earth Sciences》2016

Quantitative analyses of calcareous nannofossils were performed on 50 ditch-cuttings samples from a well drilled in the northern Campos Basin, Brazil. Nine zones and two subzones were recognised in the Paleogene-Neogene section. The absence of zones NN9-NN7 (earliest late-latest middle Miocene), NP25-NP21 (Oligocene) and NP18-NP1 (earliest late Eocene-Paleocene) implies the occurrence of three stratigraphic breaks/unconformities within the studied interval. Nannofossil assemblages present suggest an open-ocean depositional environment under oligotrophic-surface water conditions for the Miocene section of the well. Hughesius spp. and Umbilicosphaera spp., here named the “small dark” group, were recognised as an index of high nutrient concentration. We suggest that small coccolith/nannolith size is a better indicator of eutrophic condition than taxonomic affinity. Morphometric analysis of specimens of Sphenolithus belemnos and Sphenolithus disbelemnos showed that size tends to decrease within the highstand system tract. The influx of nutrients associated with the highstand could explain this size reduction and may also support our hypothesis that small specimens are indicative of high nutrient concentrations in the surface water.  相似文献   

Comparison of two classification methods to identify grain size fractions of aeolian sediment     

YanZai Wang  YongQiu Wu  MeiHui Pan  RuiJie Lu 《寒旱区科学》2018,10(5):413-420

Grain-size class-Std(GSCStd) and Grain-size class-dD(GSCdD) methods are simple statistical approaches for classifying bulk grain-size distributions(GSDs) into grain-size fractions. Although these two methods were developed based on similar statistical principles, the classification difference between these two methods has not been analyzed. In this study, GSCStd and GSCdD methods are conducted in thirteen grain-size data sequences to examine the applicability for identifying grain size fractions. Results show that, application of the GSCStd method is equivalent to that of the GSCdD method in identifying finer grain-size fractions, and the difference between the two methods mainly comes from the identification of coarse grain-size fractions. Thus, finer grain-size fractions are recommended for use in research of surface aeolian and paleo-aeolian sediments. In addition, our results do not completely agree with previous studies, coarser grain-size fractions in our case suggest that the GSCdD method may not be more applicable than the GSCStd method.  相似文献

Brachinite meteorites: Partial melt residues from an FeO-rich asteroid     

《Chemie der Erde / Geochemistry》2014,74(3):311-329

Brachinites are ultramafic, dunitic to wherlitic, unbrecciated and essentially unshocked rocks that are low in SiO₂ (∼36–39 wt.%), high in MgO (∼27–30 wt.%) and notably high in FeO (∼26–37 wt.%), and low in Al₂O₃ (∼0.2–2.5 wt.%) and combined alkalis Na₂O and K₂O (∼0–0.7 wt.%). They consist mostly of olivine (∼71–96 vol.%; ∼Fo_64–73), major clinopyroxene (minor to ∼15 vol.%; ∼En_40–63Wo_36–48), with variable small amounts of plagioclase (0 to ∼10 vol.%; ∼An_15–33), and minor to trace amounts of orthopyroxene (none to ∼20 vol.%; En_69–73Wo_2–4), Fe-sulfides (trace to ∼7 vol.%), chromite (none to ∼5 vol.%), phosphates (none to ∼3 vol.%) and metallic Fe,Ni (trace to ∼2 vol.%). Minerals tend to be homogeneous, and textures are medium to coarse-grained (∼0.1–1.5 mm), with olivine commonly displaying triple junctions. Brachina has near-chondritic lithophile element abundances, whereas other brachinites show variable depletions in Al, Ca, Rb, K, Na, and LREE. Siderophile element abundance patterns vary and range from ∼0.01 to ∼0.9 CI. Oxygen isotope composition (Δ¹⁷O) ranges from ∼−0.09 to −0.39‰, with the mean = −0.23 ± 0.14‰. Brachinites are ancient rocks, as was recognized early by the detection, in some brachinites, of excess ¹²⁹Xe from the decay of short-lived ¹²⁹I (half-life 17 Ma) and of fission tracks from the decay of ²⁴⁴Pu (half-life 82 Ma) in phosphate, high-Ca clinopyroxene and olivine. The first precise crystallization age was determined for Brachina using ⁵³Mn–⁵³Cr systematics, relative to the Pb–Pb age of the angrite LEW 86010, and yielded an age of 4563.7 ± 0.9 Ma. Thus, Brachina is at most ∼4 Ma younger that the CAIs whose age is 4567.2 ± 0.6 Ma. There is no consensus on the origin of brachinites, but they most likely are primitive achondrites, i.e., ultra-mafic residues from various low degrees of partial melting. Partial melting experiments suggest that they possibly formed from a parent lithology chemically similar but not identical to the Rumuruti (R) chondrites, although the different oxygen isotopic compositions of the R chondrites and the brachinites put a serious constraint on this hypothesis. The apparent lack of abundant rocks representing the partial melts suggests that brachinites may have formed on a parent body <∼100 km in radius, where early partial melts were removed from the parent body by explosive pyroclastic volcanism. Graves Nunataks 06128 and 06129 are felsic, andesitic basalts which have properties that suggest a relationship to brachinites and thus, may be samples of the elusive partial melts.  相似文献   

Characteristics of modern atmospheric dust deposition in snow in the Mt. Yulong region,southeastern Tibetan Plateau     

《Journal of Asian Earth Sciences》2014

We evaluated the concentration, size and distribution, and temporal variation of insoluble dust micro-particles in the snow, rainfall and water taken from the areas surrounding the Mt. Yulong to define the characteristics of modern atmospheric dust deposition and the contributions of different dust sources. The mean mass concentration (4511 μg kg⁻¹) of micro-particles with 0.57 < d < 26 μm, and the diameter (11.5 μm) of dust contained in the water bodies of the Mt. Yulong are roughly similar to those observed in other sites, implying that dust is primarily supplied through short-range transport from proximal source regions (several or hundreds of km distances). The mean mass concentrations of micro-particles with 0.57 < d < 26 μm is lower in the rainfall than in the snow and the river water, suggesting the rain water is an ideal source/carrier for detecting the characteristics of modern atmospheric micro-particles. Volume size distributions of micro-particles in the snow and water showed single modal structures having volume median diameters from 3 to 26 μm. Number concentrations of micro-particles in the snow were higher than that in the rainfall, the river water contains the least amount of micro-particles. Vertical profiles of the snowpits show that there is a strong lateral correlation among the dust peaks, indicating a regional uniformity of dust deposition and suitability of snow analysis for dust deposition. In addition, the bare rock of snow-free terrain in the Mt. Yulong region and the mineral particles from local rock weathering are also important sources for the dust deposition.  相似文献

Redox and pH conditions in the water column and in the sediments of an acidic mining lake     

T. M. Bachmann  K. Friese  D. W. Zachmann   《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》2001,73(2)

Physico-chemical parameters of the acidic mining lake (ML) 111 in the Lusatian region (Germany) were determined in April and August 1997 using a multiparameter probe for the water column and punch-in pH and Eh electrodes for the sediment, respectively. Samples of the sediment profile were taken by a gravity corer. Besides determination of the physico-chemical parameters, grain size and water contents were determined after sediment slicing.Differences in the redox state of the water body, deduced from oxygen saturation between April and August, could not be inferred. However, a shift in pH to lower values was apparent. Data support the conclusion that the enhanced oxygen content was consumed for oxidation of ferrous iron to ferric iron (oxides/hydroxides) coupled with the release of protons.In the sediment, different buffer systems of iron compounds could be detected within separate zones with values below and above pH 3. At higher pH values, the redox conditions are controlled and stabilized by the presence of Fe-oxide-hydroxides and possibly Fe-sulfates.  相似文献   

Distribution and source differentiation of PAHs and PCBs among size and density fractions in contaminated harbor sediment particles and their implications in toxicological assessment     

Huang YJ  Lee CL  Fang MD 《Marine pollution bulletin》2011,62(2):432-439

Sediment samples collected from Kaohsiung Harbor (Taiwan) were analyzed for 15 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 118 individual polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners in various particle size fractions and two density fractions. The PAHs in the low density fraction were a much more sensitive and effective indicator of the PAH source than those in the sediment as a whole. Hierarchical cluster analysis of PAH analytes in the low density sediments revealed significant differences in compositional patterns between locations and among size fractions. In the sediment samples from both study sites, the low density fraction particles had up to 155 and 150 times higher concentrations of PAHs and PCBs, respectively, than those in the corresponding high density fractions. In addition, the total toxic benzo[a]pyrene and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD, dioxin) equivalents in the sediment low density fractions were much higher (up to 170 and 273 times, respectively) than the corresponding high density fractions.  相似文献   

Advances in Measurement Techniques and Statistics Features     

Zhu Yaqiao  Liu Yuanbo 《地球科学进展》2013,28(6):685-694

Rain Drop Size Distribution (DSD) is one of the key parameters to micro physical process and macro dynamical structure of precipitation. It provides useful information for understanding the mechanisms of precipitation formation and development. Conventional measurement techniques include momentum method, flour method, filtering paper, raindrop camera and immersion method. In general, the techniques havelarge measurement error, heavy workload, and low efficiency. Innovation of disdrometer is a remarkable progress in DSD observation. To date, the major techniques are classified into impacting, optical and acoustic disdrometers, which are automated and more convenient and accurate. The impacting disdrometer transforms the momentum of raindrops into electric impulse, which are easy to operate and quality assured but with large errors for extremely large or small raindrops. The optical disdrometer measures rainfall diameter and its velocity in the same time, but cannot distinguish the particles passing through sampling area simultaneously. The acoustic disdrometer determines DSD from the raindrop impacts on water body with a high temporal resolution but easily affected by wind. In addition, the Doppler can provide DSD with polarimetric techniques for large area while it is affected by updrafts, downdrafts and horizontal winds.DSD has meteorological features, which can be described with the Marshall Palmer (M-P), the Gamma, the lognormal or the normalized models. The M P model is suitable for steady rainfall, usually used for weak and moderate rainfall. The gamma model is proposed for DSD at high rain rate. The lognormal model is widely applied for cloud droplet analysis, but not appropriate for DSD with a broad spectrum. The normalized model is free of assumptions about the shape of the DSD. For practical application, statistical comparison is necessary for selection of a most suitable model. Meteorologically, convective rain has a relatively narrow and smooth DSD spectrum usually described by the M P model. Stratiform rain has a broad DSD spectrum described with the Gamma model. Stratocumulus mixed rain has relatively large drop diameter but small mean size usually described by the Gamma model. The continent rainfall is altitude dependent and it differs from the maritime cloud rainfalls in terms of rain rate and drop diameter. Overall, the meteorological features are useful to improve our understanding of precipitation formation but also important to development of precipitation retrieval techniques with a high accuracy.  相似文献
