Brèches sédimentaires marines à la frontière entre les domaines briançonnais et piémontais dans les Alpes occidentales     

Prof. Marcel Lemoine 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1967,56(1):320-335

Different types of jurassic and cretaceous submarine breccias, deposited on the internal part of the Briançonnais shoal, and on the external part of the Piemont trough, are described, especially breccias of the Acceglio zone, which show a cement looking like a “sedimentary micaschist”. Genetic problems are discussed: rock breaking and disintegration, and transportation of rock fragments.  相似文献   

Apatite nodules as an indicator of depositional environment and ore genesis for the Mesoproterozoic Broken Hill-type Gamsberg Zn–Pb deposit,Namaqua Province,South Africa     

Marcel?Stalder  Abraham?RozendaalEmail author 《Mineralium Deposita》2004,39(2):189-203

Nodules consisting of fluorapatite are concentrated as a discrete band in the polymetallic sulfide ore of the Gamsberg deposit in central Bushmanland, South Africa. Their shape, zonal features, and geochemistry, in particular rare earth element (REE) abundances, are similar to authigenic francolite concretions that precipitate during diagenesis in organic-rich muds. As a result, the apatite nodules are regarded as primary. The nodules have a strong lithostratigraphic control, occurring at the transition of siliciclastic-hosted pyrite–sphalerite–graphite mineralization to calc-silicate-hosted pyrrhotite–sphalerite mineralization. Mineralogical and chemical evidence indicates that this transition also corresponds to a paleo-redox boundary that separates sediments deposited under oxygen-deficient conditions from those that developed in a more oxygenated environment. The apatite nodules can morphologically and chemically clearly be distinguished from coarse apatite grains that occur in oxide-facies iron formations stratigraphically above the ore horizon. However, similar REE profiles and in particular positive Eu anomalies in both types of apatite are indicative of a close genetic relationship between the two units and favor a common hydrothermal origin of the P. The contrasting morphologies and chemical signatures of the two occurrences can rather be attributed to differences in behavior of the phosphates during precipitation within the contrasting host sediments (chemical versus fine-grained clastic). Taking modern phosphorites as an analogue, these results are used to postulate a genetic model for the deposition of the sulfide ore and associated iron formations. The model envisages differentiation of the depositional basin into oxygen-deficient basin facies hosting the sulfide ore and oxygenated shelf facies, which are composed of manganiferous iron formations. The intimate association of sedimentary apatite with base metal sulfides indicates that basin conditions were conducive to the precipitation of both phases. This relationship might act as a potential exploration guide in similar basins elsewhere.Editorial handling: E. Frimmel  相似文献   

Assessment of Cyto‐ and Genotoxic Effects of a Variety of Chemicals Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae     

Marcel Schmitt  Georg Gellert  Jost Ludwig  Hella Lichtenberg‐Frat 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2005,33(1):56-63

Saccharomyces cerevisiae as the most simple eukaryotic organism is broadly accepted as a laboratory model organism. For the detection of potential toxic effects of pure compounds and complex composed samples like wastewater a miniaturised short‐term in vitro cyto‐ and genotoxicity screening assay was developed. The assay based on genetically modified S. cerevisiae cells deleted in the prominent drug efflux transporters Pdr5, Snq2, and Yor1 that facilitate pleiotropic drug resistance. The yeast strain devoid of these proteins that mediate the efflux of structurally diverse hydrophobic compounds exhibited an increased sensitivity to a variety of organic compounds. The DNA damage inducible RAD54 promoter fused to a yeast optimized derivative of the GFP (green fluorescent protein) gene from the jelly fish Aequorea victoria served as an indicator of DNA damage in this strain. Various pure compounds including the direct‐acting genotoxins methyl‐N‐nitro‐N‐nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), 4‐nitroquinoline‐N‐oxide (4‐NQO), methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and hydroxyurea as well as the heavy metals cadmium and chromium(VI), the insecticide lindane and the central nervous system stimulant caffeine were tested exhibiting dose dependent induction of green fluorescence. All compounds were in parallel examined for chronic toxicity. A bioassay detecting simultaneously geno‐ and cytotoxic effects of potential toxicants in a single assay can be an important tool with a variety of applications in environmental monitoring and aquatic ecotoxicology. By partial automation and miniaturisation to microtitration scale this bioassay enables sensitive and fast biomonitoring for a multitude of samples.  相似文献   

Découverte de structures périglaciaires (sand-wedges et composite-wedges) sur le site de stockage de déchets radioactifs de l'Aube (France)     

Pierre Antoine  Albert Marchiol  Marcel Brocandel  Yves Gros 《Comptes Rendus Geoscience》2005,337(16):444

Since 1990, a dense network of subvertical cracks has been observed at the upper part of the Albian sands of the site of radioactive waste storage operated by ANDRA. New studies carried out in 1999 during enlargement of the site of Soulaines and in 2003 on the nearby TFA site highlighted an especially well-developed network of periglacial features that are mainly of the sand-wedge type (subvertical stratified infill). These observations demonstrate the periglacial origin of these cracks, which are mainly superimposed on a dense network of former tectonic extension joints, and that rapidly disappear at the top of the underlying clays. In addition, these observations currently represent the only example of a large sand-wedge network developed during the Last Glacial in northern France. To cite this article: P. Antoine et al., C. R.

Isolation and characterization of Aeromonas species from an eutrophic tropical estuary     

Marcel KA  Antoinette AA  Mireille D 《Marine pollution bulletin》2002,44(12):1341-1344

Isolation and characterization of Aeromonas species were undertaken in the Ebrié lagoon (Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire) over a one year period. Overall 63% of 501 water samples were identified as positive for Aeromonas spp. A. sobria, A. hydrophila and A. caviae represent respectively 49.20%, 20.63% and 30.15% of the positive samples. Thirty nine of the positive samples were recovered from surface water samples; while 24 bottom water samples were positive for Aeromonas. Aeromonas species are most frequently (82.53) present in the Ebrié lagoon urban area during the rainy and flood seasons when the salinity is low and below 10‰. A lower isolation frequency is noticed during the dry season when water salinity is over 10‰. Finally, a higher isolation frequency occurred in samples with highest counts of Escherichia coli.  相似文献

Modelling Spatial Patterns of Overbank Sedimentation on Embanked Floodplains   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Hans Middelkoop  & Marcel van der Perk 《Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography》1998,80(2):95-109

This paper presents a GIS-based mathematical model for the simulation of floodplain sedimentation. The model comprises two components: (1) the existing hydrodynamic WAQUA model that calculates two-dimensional water flow patterns; and (2) the SEDIFLUX model that calculates deposition of sediment based on a simple mass balance concept with a limited number of model parameters. The models were applied to simulate floodplain sediment deposition over river reaches of several kilometres in length. The SEDIFLUX model has been calibrated and validated using interpolated raster maps of sediment deposition observed after the large magnitude December 1993 flood on the embanked floodplain of the lower river Rhine in the Netherlands. The model appeared to be an adequate tool to predict patterns of sediment deposition as the product of the complex interaction among river discharge and sediment concentration, floodplain topography, and the resulting water flow patterns during various discharge levels. In the investigated areas, the resulting annual average sedimentation rates varied between 0.5 mm/year and 4.0 mm/year. The role of the most important mechanisms governing the spatial patterns of overbank deposition, i.e. inundation frequency, sediment load, floodplain topography and its influence on the flow patterns over the floodplain, are discussed.  相似文献   

Intrusion of igneous rocks — Physical aspects     

Prof. Dr. Horst J. Neugebauer  Dipl.-Geophys. Clemens Reuther 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1987,76(1):89-99

Igneous rocks occur in two predominant modes. The plutonic mode is characterized by intrusive emplacement under compressional tectonic stress regimes. The volcanic mode is dominated by the eruption of large volumes of magma through fault controlled dyke structures in extensional tectonic stress regimes.Those typical intrusive phenomena are discussed in the light of the physical parameters like the dynamic-thermal regime of the lithosphere, the nature and source of buoyant forces as well as mechanical aspects of subsolidus flow of rocks.Twodimensional numerical models on the basis of typical parameter specifications and by means of a coupled dynamic-thermal physical approximation are presented. The simulation of buoyantly-driven diapiric intrusions has been adopted to derive parameters which are critically controlling the transport and emplacement of intrusion under surroundings of variable viscosity. Both sill-type and batholith-type structures are presented and discussed with respect to their predominant dependence on mechanical and physical conditions.

Zusammenfassung Magmatische Gesteine treten in zwei vorherrschenden Erscheinungsformen auf. Die Plutonite sind charakterisiert durch eine intrusive Platznahme unter kompressiven tektonischen Spannungsbedingungen. Die Vulkanite werden beherrscht von gro\en Volumina eruptierten Magmas, das vorzugsweise durch weiträumige Bruchsysteme unter Zugspannungsbedingungen aufsteigt.Derartige magmatische Phänomene werden aus der Sicht physikalischer Parameter wie dynamisch-thermische Bedingungen der Lithosphäre, der Natur und des Ursprungs von Auftriebskräften sowie der Mechanik von Gesteinsformationen diskutiert.Es werden zweidimensionale numerische Modellrechnungen auf der Grundlage typischer Parameterbereiche vorgestellt. Die Rechnungen basieren auf einer dynamisch-thermischen Approximation von Flie\vorgängen. Sie werden eingesetzt zur Untersuchung von diapirartigen Intrusionsvorgängen, die durch Dichteinversionen angetrieben sind. Hierbei sollen die Parameter bestimmt werden, die Aufstieg und Platznahme der Intrusionen bestimmen. Die Umgebung ist charakterisiert durch eine vorgebbare variable Viskosität. Sowohl linsenförmige Sill-Strukturen als auch typische Batholith-Strukturen werden mathematisch simuliert. Ihr Zusammenhang mit den strukturbestimmenden Parametern wird aufgezeigt.

Résumé Les roches magmatiques se répartissent en deux catégories principales: la catégorie plutonique est caractérisée par une mise en place dans des régimes de contraintes tectoniques compressives; la catégorie volcanique est dominée par l'éruption de volumes importants de magma à travers des systèmes de cassures dans des régimes de contraintes tectoniques d'extension.Ces phénomènes intrusifs sont discutés à la lumière de paramètres physiques tels que: le régime thermique et dynamique de la lithosphère, la nature et l'origine des forces ascensionnelles, ainsi que les aspects mécaniques du fluage sub-solidus des roches.Les auteurs présentent des modèles numériques bidimensionnels basés sur des domaines paramétriques typiques, au moyen d'une approximation dynamo-thermique de phénomène d'écoulement. La simulation d'intrusions diapiriques permet de déduire les paramètres qui déterminent le transport et la mise en place d'une intrusion dans diverses conditions de viscosité de l'encaissant. Les structures de type sill et de type batholite sont discutées en relation avec les conditions mécaniques et physiques dont elles dépendent.

The influence of oxic degradation on the sedimentary biomarker record I: evidence from Madeira Abyssal Plain turbidites     

Marcel J.L. HoefsW.Irene C. Rijpstra  Jaap S. Sinninghe Damsté 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2002,66(15):2719-2735

Free and ester-bound lipid biomarkers were analysed in oxidised and unoxidised parts of four distinct turbidites from the Madeira Abyssal Plain (MAP), which contained 1 to 2% organic carbon homogeneously distributed throughout the turbidites at the time they were deposited. These turbidites are well suited to study the effects of oxic degradation on lipid biomarkers without the complicating influence of varying organic matter sources, sedimentation rates, or bioturbation. One sample from the oxidised turbidite was compared with two samples from the unoxidised part of each turbidite. Postdepositional oxic degradation decreased concentrations of biomarkers by several orders of magnitude. The ester-bound lipids were degraded to a far lesser extent than their free counterparts were. The extent of degradation of different compounds differed substantially. Within a specific class of biomarkers, degradation also took place to a different extent, altering their distributions. This study shows that oxic degradation of the organic matter may have a profound effect on the biomarker fingerprint and may result in a severe bias in, for example, the interpretation of organic matter sources and the estimation of the palaeoproductivity of specific groups of phytoplankton.  相似文献
