通过对唐山市复兴路十中旧址钻孔更新统上部和全新统部分的60 m岩芯的沉积物及92件孢粉样品的分析, 建立了4个组合带, 总结了唐山地区晚更新世以来的植被演替和气候变化: (1)孢粉带Ⅰ, 以针阔混交林-草原为主, 气候温暖湿润; (2)孢粉带Ⅱ, 以疏林草原为主, 气候寒冷干旱, 为晚更新世以来环境最为恶劣的时期; (3)孢粉带Ⅲa, 植被为针阔混交林-草原, 气候温暖湿润; (4)孢粉带Ⅲb, 发育暗针叶林-草原, 气候寒冷湿润; (5)孢粉带Ⅲc, 植被为疏林草原, 气候寒冷略干; (6)孢粉带Ⅳ, 发育针阔混交森林, 气候温暖湿润, 为晚更新世以来水热条件最佳的时期。通过与邻区及全球冰芯、深海沉积研究成果的对比分析, 探讨了华北平原晚更新世以来的气候变化特点: MIS3的温湿条件显著优于MIS2和MIS4, 达到间冰期气候, 与MIS5相似, 局部地区甚至超过MIS1; MIS2不是一个持续干冷的过程, 而是一个由湿冷逐渐转向干冷的过程。此成果对探讨华北平原第四纪地层划分、对比和气候演化提供了科学依据。  相似文献

江苏东南部启东地区开展的1∶5万区域地质调查工作已经完成野外工作验收,通过整理分析新获取的地质资料,发现工作区内"下切河谷"地区地表下46~59 m处普遍存在棕黄色、灰绿色、灰黑色"硬黏土层",厚度2~10 m不等;局部地区钻孔岩心剖面在本层顶部表现为明显的古土壤层,见根痕构造、钙质结核等暴露成土特征,其下部可见灰黑色富有机质、植物碎屑的粉砂质黏土层。古土壤层的发现证明了本区在末次盛冰期并不完全为下切河谷地区,更新了前人对测区晚更新世末期沉积地层的认识;而厚度0.5~2 m不等的富有机质、植物碎屑的粉砂质黏土层为本区浅层天然气提供了气源。  相似文献   

Vegetation history along the eastern, desert escarpment of the Sierra San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico     

Camille A. Holmgren  Julio L. Betancourt  Kate A. Rylander 《Quaternary Research》2011,75(3):647-657

Plant macrofossils from 38 packrat middens spanning the last ~ 33,000 cal yr BP record vegetation between ~ 650 and 900 m elevation along the eastern escarpment of the Sierra San Pedro Mártir, northern Baja California. The middens span most of the Holocene, with a gap between ~ 4600 and 1800 cal yr BP, but coverage in the Pleistocene is uneven with a larger hiatus between 23,100 and 14,400 cal yr BP. The midden flora is relatively stable from the Pleistocene to Holocene. Exceptions include Pinus californiarum, Juniperus californica and other chaparral elements that were most abundant > 23,100 cal yr BP and declined after 14,400 cal yr BP. Despite being near the chaparral/woodland-desertscrub ecotone during glacial times, the midden assemblages reflect none of the climatic reversals evident in the glacial or marine record, and this is corroborated by a nearby semi-continuous pollen stratigraphy from lake sediments. Regular appearance of C₄ grasses and summer-flowering annuals since 13,600 cal yr BP indicates occurrence of summer rainfall equivalent to modern (JAS average of ~ 80–90 mm). This casts doubt on the claim, based on temperature proxies from marine sediments in the Guaymas Basin, that monsoonal development in the northern Gulf and Arizona was delayed until after 6200 cal yr BP.  相似文献   

Associated terrestrial and marine fossils in the late-glacial Presumpscot Formation, southern Maine, USA, and the marine reservoir effect on radiocarbon ages   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Excavations in the late-glacial Presumpscot Formation at Portland, Maine, uncovered tree remains and other terrestrial organics associated with marine invertebrate shells in a landslide deposit. Buds of Populus balsamifera (balsam poplar) occurred with twigs of Picea glauca (white spruce) in the Presumpscot clay. Tree rings in Picea logs indicate that the trees all died during winter dormancy in the same year. Ring widths show patterns of variation indicating responses to environmental changes. Fossil mosses and insects represent a variety of species and wet to dry microsites. The late-glacial environment at the site was similar to that of today's Maine coast. Radiocarbon ages of 14 tree samples are 11,907 ± 31 to 11,650 ± 50 ¹⁴C yr BP. Wiggle matching of dated tree-ring segments to radiocarbon calibration data sets dates the landslide occurrence at ca. 13,520 + 95/−20 cal yr BP. Ages of shells juxtaposed with the logs are 12,850 ± 65 ¹⁴C yr BP (Mytilus edulis) and 12,800 ± 55 ¹⁴C yr BP (Balanus sp.), indicating a marine reservoir age of about 1000 yr. Using this value to correct previously published radiocarbon ages reduces the discrepancy between the Maine deglaciation chronology and the varve-based chronology elsewhere in New England.  相似文献

The Pleistocene terrace staircase of the River Thame, central-southern England, and its significance for regional stratigraphic correlation, drainage development, and vertical crustal motions     

Rob Westaway 《Proceedings of the Geologists' Association. Geologists' Association》2011,122(1):92-112

The Thame is one of the principal left-bank affluents of the Thames, the largest river in southern England; it joins the Upper Thames at Dorchester, ∼20 km downstream of Oxford. Its terraces include a younger group of four, which date from the late Middle Pleistocene and Late Pleistocene, are disposed subparallel to the modern river, and represent drainage within the modern catchment. At higher levels there are three older terraces, the Three Pigeons, Tiddington and Chilworth terraces, which are assigned to MIS 16, 14 and 12. With much gentler downstream gradients, these are fragmentary remnants of much more substantial fluvial deposits, indicating a much larger river that was disrupted by the Anglian (MIS 12) glaciation. This interpretation supersedes an earlier view that the glacigenic deposits in the Thame headwaters correlate with the Blackditch terrace, the highest of the younger group, which has hitherto provided an argument that the glaciation in this region occurred in MIS 10. It is suggested that the headwaters of the pre-Anglian ‘Greater Thame’ river were located near Northampton and that the Milton Sands of that area represent an upstream counterpart of the Chilworth terrace deposits. It is envisaged that this early Middle Pleistocene drainage geometry, located between the Jurassic limestone and Chalk escarpments, developed as a result of the increase in uplift rates that followed the Mid-Pleistocene Revolution (MPR). It is suggested that before this time, including during the Early Pleistocene, the modern Thame catchment and adjacent regions drained southeastward through the Chalk escarpment, but these small rivers lacked the erosional power to cut through the Chalk in pace with the faster uplift occurring in the early Middle Pleistocene, and so became diverted to the southwest, subparallel to the Chalk escarpment, to form the pre-Anglian ‘Greater Thame’ tributary of the Upper Thames. The post-MPR uplift is estimated to decrease northwestward from 90 m in the Middle Thames to 75 m near the Thame-Thames confluence and to 65 m upstream of Oxford. The post-Anglian (post-450 ka) component of uplift decreases northward from 33 m near the Thame-Thames confluence to an estimated ∼20 m in the Northampton area; the relative stability of the latter area makes feasible the proposed correlation between the Milton Sands and the pre-Anglian River Thame. Limited post-Anglian uplift in the Northampton area is also inferred from the upstream convergence of the terraces of the modern rivers Nene and Great Ouse. These observed lateral variations in vertical crustal motions reflect lateral variations in crustal properties (including heat flow, crustal thickness, and thickness of underplating at the base of the crust) that are known independently. This study thus provides, for the first time, an integrated explanation of the Pleistocene drainage development across a large region of central-southern England.  相似文献   

长白山区二道白河流域早更新世玄武质熔岩的成因   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  

马晗瑞  杨清福  盘晓东  武成智  陈聪 《岩石学报》2015,31(11):3484-3494

采用岩石化学和同位素分析方法,研究了二道白河流域早更新世玄武质熔岩的成因。玄武质熔岩由钠质拉斑玄武岩和钾质粗面玄武岩、玄武质粗面安山岩组成。它们的REE分配形式比较相近,表明它们来自共同的源区。Sr、Nd、Pb同位素示踪表明,二道白河流域早更新世玄武质熔岩岩浆源区接近于似原始地幔。它们的Mg#=100Mg O/(Mg O+Fe O)低于中国东部新生代玄武岩原始岩浆的Mg#(60~68),Ni(27.76×10-6~200.6×10-6)低于原始地幔,Rb/Sr(0.05~0.09)、Ba/Rb(15.64~264)高于原始地幔,说明这些岩石不是源自原始地幔。玄武质熔岩的DI变化于42~67,具有高Ca、高Sr、Eu正异常,微量元素图解显示玄武岩保留部分熔融趋势,粗面玄武岩、玄武质粗安岩具有结晶分异趋势,岩浆上升过程中发生了不同程度的地壳混染作用。玄武质熔岩的Nb/Ta之比为14.8~15.8,与勘察加半岛深俯冲带火山类似。Nb/Ta-(Na2O-K2O)关系图解显示研究区玄武质岩浆的形成与俯冲板片的部分熔融有关。  相似文献   

南海北部沉积物常量元素变化、碳酸盐旋回及其古环境意义   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

李小洁  梁莲姬  吴枫  孙有斌 《第四纪研究》2015,35(2)

通过对南海北部ODP1145站沉积物的常量元素和碳酸盐分析,探讨了早更新世南海北部沉积物常量元素和碳酸盐含量变化特征及其古环境意义.结果表明,南海北部沉积物中主量元素CaO、Fe2O3、K2O、Na2O、MnO和P2O5受碳酸盐含量影响相对较小,而SiO2、MgO、Al2O3和TiO2受到碳酸盐含量影响相对较大.碳酸盐校正后的常量元素变化可以划分为3种类型,即PC1、PC2和PC3,它们的主要特点有:PC1元素组合包括了SiO2、CaO、Na2O、P2O5、Fe2O3和K2O,主要反映了与季风强度有关的生源物质产率变化,指示了距今2.5～1.5Ma时段生产力的逐渐降低;PC2元素组合(Al2O3、TiO2)代表了陆源物质的输入,指示了在约2Ma开始陆源物质输入的明显增加;PC3元素组合(MgO、MnO)可能与海洋自生作用有关,反映了海底氧化/还原环境的相对变化.早更新世南海北部CaCO3含量呈阶段性降低,一方面受陆源物质稀释作用的影响,另一方面可能更与生物生产力逐渐降低有关.主量元素组合及碳酸盐含量在约2Ma和1.7Ma左右均发生显著变化,可能指示了早更新世时期东亚冬季风的两次增强.  相似文献   

河北秦皇岛斑鬣狗巢穴(灵仙洞)及斑鬣狗的集群死亡与埋藏     

刘金毅  Jan Wagner  陈平富  盛桂莲  陈津  江左其果  刘思昭 《第四纪研究》2015,35(3)

河北省秦皇岛灵仙洞发现了一批最后斑鬣狗化石,标本达上千件,至少代表了30个不同个体,包括3具骨架(其中骨架Ⅰ是世界上迄今所发现最完整的1具),还发现了一些其他哺乳动物化石,共计26属27种.根据动物群组成、地质地貌以及堆积物的综合分析判断,它的时代可能属于中更新世晚期至晚更新世早期.动物群的生态组合反映当时处于一个温热偏干、半封闭或开阔的山间草原而周边山上有树林的生态环境.标本(尤其是完整骨架)的保存为典型的原地埋藏,死后未受到包括斑鬣狗自身在内的动物干扰和破坏.斑鬣狗在动物群中占绝对优势以及幼年个体和粪化石的发现,表明灵仙洞是一处斑鬣狗族群的巢穴.与其他斑鬣狗巢穴不同的是:斑鬣狗的猎物稀少,鲜见斑鬣狗的活动痕迹,尤其是幼年斑鬣狗啃咬形成的特定产物“nibbling sticks”,这说明灵仙洞既非用于猎物遗骸的储藏,也非用于幼崽的抚养,而是一处共用巢穴,同时也表明灵仙洞的骨骼聚集与埋藏有着特定的成因和机理.  相似文献
