We carried out a detailed rock-magnetic and paleointensity study of the ～187-Ma volcanic succession from northern Chile. A total of 32 consecutive lava flows (about 280 oriented standard paleomagnetic cores) were collected at the Tocopilla locality. Only 26 samples with apparently preserved primary magnetic mineralogy and without secondary magnetization components were pre-selected for Thellier paleointensity determination. Eleven samples coming from four lava flows yielded reliable paleointensity estimates. The flow-mean virtual dipole moments range from 3.7±0.9 to $\text{7.1±0.5}\text{(10}{}^{22}$ A m²). This corresponds to a mean value of (5.0±1.8)×10²² A m², which is in reasonably good agreement with other comparable quality paleointensity determinations from the Middle Jurassic. Given the large dispersion and the very poor distribution of reliable absolute intensity data, it is hard to draw any firm conclusions regarding the time evolution of the geomagnetic field.

在位于川滇菱形地块的西昌西南大德里向斜两翼的白恶系红和岩内采集古地磁学定向样品９６个,进行了古地学研究,研究结果表明,西昌晚白垩世末期的古地磁偏角为５．９°,古地磁倾角为４５．８°,地磁极位置为北纬８４．７°,东径１９３．３°,将该数据与作前期研究结果对比,则可见自楚雄至无谋,进而至西昌,其古地磁偏角逐渐靠近正北,而古地磁极纬度渐次升高,这反映了川滇菱形地块内的断块呈自西南至东北逐渐减弱的顺时针  相似文献   

滇池晚更新世末期以来湖积环境分析     

周建民  田升平  夏学惠  东野脉兴  张灼 《化工矿产地质》2002,24(3):129-135

通过对滇池湖心区晚更新世末期以来的沉积剖面、沉积物及其化学组合、古地磁特征及孢粉组合的研究,初步确定了滇池上更新统与全新统的分界,认为自晚更新世末期以来,滇池一直维持着稳定的湖相沉积。晚更新世末期,滇池处于温凉偏于的相对浅水环境。全新世早期气候逐渐转暖,湿度渐增,湖水面积扩大且渐深,至全新世中期,气候变得温暖湿润,湖水面积进一步扩大变深。全新世晚期滇池气候又变得温凉偏干、处于湖水面积缩小的浅水环境。  相似文献   

A 90° spin on Rodinia: possible causal links between the Neoproterozoic supercontinent, superplume, true polar wander and low-latitude glaciation     

Z.X. Li  D.A.D. Evans  S. Zhang 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》2004,220(3-4):409-421

We report here new geochronological and paleomagnetic data from the 802±10 Ma Xiaofeng dykes in South China. Together with existing data, these results suggest that Rodinia probably spread from the equator to the polar region at ca. 800 Ma, followed by a rapid ca. 90° rotation around an axis near Greenland that brought the entire supercontinent to a low-latitude position by ca. 750 Ma. We propose that it was the initiation of a mantle superplume under the polar end of Rodinia that triggered an episode of true polar wander (TPW) which brought the entire supercontinent into equatorial latitudes. An unusually extensive emerged land area at the equator increased both atmospheric CO₂ drawdown and global albedo, which, along with waning plume volcanism led directly to the low-latitude Sturtian glaciation at ca. 750–720 Ma.  相似文献   

Paleomagnetic Constraints on the Permian-Triassic Boundary in Terrestrial Strata of the Karoo Supergroup, South Africa: Implications for Causes of the End-Permian Extinction Event     

M.O. De Kock  J.L. Kirschvink 《Gondwana Research》2004,7(1):175-183

The closure of the Palaeozoic witnessed the greatest biotic crisis in earth history. Surprisingly little is known about the effects and timing of the terrestrial counterpart of the well-described End-Permian mass extinction from known marine successions worldwide. In the present study, reliable paleomagnetic results were obtained from a PT boundary section in the terrestrial Karoo Basin of South Africa. Permo-Triassic aged mudstones from a locality in the Eastern Cape Province yielded two magnetic chrons, reverse followed by normal (with the boundary possibly close to the reversal). This extends to results from a previous study: thereby jointly identifying a R/N/R polarity pattern for this boundary interval. The PTB interval is constrained below the red mudstones of the Beaufort Group at the present locality and within reverse-magnetised green mudstone, implying a diachronic relation between the marine and terrestrial End-Permian mass extinction events.  相似文献

Tectonic rotations during the Chile Ridge collision and obduction of the Taitao ophiolite (southern Chile)   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Abstract The < 6 Ma young Taitao ophiolite, exposed at the westernmost promontory of the Taitao Peninsula, is located approximately 40 km southeast of the Chile triple junction and consists of a complete sequence of oceanic lithosphere. Systematic sampling for paleomagnetic study was performed to understand the complex obduction processes of the ophiolite onto the forearc of the South American Plate. Two representative demagnetization paths of remanent magnetization vectors were observed. One is characterized by stable univectorial demagnetization paths and was observed in volcaniclastic rocks and dyke complexes. Orientations of their remanent magnetization vectors indicate various degrees of counterclockwise rotations. The other is characterized by multivectorial demagnetization paths and was observed in the plutonic units (gabbros and ultramafic rocks). From these, two distinct stable remanent magnetization vectors were isolated; one has high coercivity and the other has low coercivity along the demagnetization paths with little influence of viscous magnetizations. This suggests that the complex deformation history involved at least two rotational events. The clockwise rotation, inferred from high coercivity remanent magnetization vectors, was attributed to a ridge collision event and the counterclockwise rotation, inferred from the low coercivity remanent magnetization vectors, was attributed to an accommodation phase into the South American forearc during obduction and final emplacement of the ophiolite. Folds developed during this period. Paleomagnetic restorations of the internal structures of the plutonic units and dyke complexes suggest that they probably originated in a mid‐oceanic ridge environment near a transform fault. The counterclockwise rotation of the plutonic and dyke complex units during the obduction generated tectonic gaps between these and the basement. The volcaniclastic rocks must have been deposited at nearly their present location, filling the tectonic gaps, as less effect of tectonic rotation was identified on these rocks.  相似文献

Paleomagnetic dating of the Cenjiawan Paleolithic site in the Nihewan Basin, northern China

It draws much attention of scientists how early hu- mans occupy and adapt to the rigorous climate and environment at high northern latitudes in East Asia after they stepped out of Africa, passed West Asia and finally arrived in East Asia[1-4]. Reliable age determi- nations of Paleolithic sites from northeastern Asia not only help to find out the earliest occupation of early humans in this region, but also relate to the founda- tion of the overall framework of human origin and migration[1-8]…  相似文献
