扬子区中奥陶统大湾阶底界精细生物地层分带与对比

系统研究湖北宜昌黄花场大湾组下段和重庆城口翁溪沟湄潭组下部笔石、牙形石和几丁虫生物分带及其对比关系。精细的生物地层学研究结果证明,在我国大湾阶底界界线层型剖面上的生物群组合存在冷水型分子与暖水型分子共生的特点,以牙形石Baltoniodus triangularis首现所确定的中奥陶统底界较nipodus laevis的首现低0．2m,位于笔石Didymograptus protobifidus／Corymbograptus deflexus带或几丁虫Conochitina langei／C．brevis带中部。中奥陶统底界上述牙形石、笔石和几丁虫的对比关系不受沉积相限制,在重庆城口翁溪沟含笔石碎屑岩相的湄潭组下部同样存在。宜昌黄花场剖面和该剖面上Baltoniodus triangularis的最初出现应是理想的全球中奥陶统底界线层型剖面和点。     

华北板块西缘甘肃平凉上奥陶统平凉组灰岩微相和沉积环境

甘肃平凉官庄剖面为上奥陶统平凉组的建组剖面,出露其完整的地层序列,主要由细砂、粉砂级颗粒的碎屑岩和灰岩构成。该地区在平凉组沉积时期的构造背景属华北板块西部,位于鄂尔多斯古陆西缘。对官庄剖面平凉组灰岩夹层开展的微相分析显示其中含有丰富的泥状灰岩砂屑,生屑种类含量偏低且破碎程度高,无浅海区特有的沉积构造,海水深度不利于底栖生态群落栖居。灰岩的沉积学机制指示鄂尔多斯古陆西南海区存在较陡的海底地貌,这些内碎屑不是原地或近原地沉积的,它们最初产生于浅海碳酸盐岩台地,经重力流、等深流长距离搬运后到达接近秦岭-祁连海槽的深水区沉积。     

新疆柯坪志留系塔塔埃尔塔格组微体化石*

新疆柯坪大湾沟剖面塔塔埃尔塔格组（兰多维列统）产出以Dactylofusa caboti为优势分子的疑源类组合及虫牙、隐孢子、植物角质层等微体化石。结合其它地层古生物资料，讨论这些微体化石的地层及环境意义。     

湖北宜昌远安真金和界岭奥陶系牯牛潭组顶部的牙形刺及其地层意义（英文）

本文描述了采自湖北宜昌远安真金和界岭剖面奥陶系牯牛潭组顶部的牙形刺,它们有Baltoniodus prevariabilis,Drepanoistodus venustus,Panderodus gracilis,Periodon aculeatus,Protopanderodus calceatus,P.varicostatus?,Yangtzeplacognathus foliaceus和Y.protoramosus等,确认宜昌地区牯牛潭组顶部应归属于奥陶系达瑞威尔阶Pygodus serra带之Yangtzeplacognathus protoramosus亚带,并可与宜昌黄花场剖面和南京汤山外杆沟剖面同名组顶部及新疆柯坪羊吉坎剖面一间房组顶部的牙形刺带相对比。同时,它要比重庆城口大槽剖面牯牛潭组顶部的牙形刺带低3个带(Pygodus anserinus带至Baltoniodus variabilis带),这一事实也说明了牯牛潭组顶部在中国扬子地台的穿时性。     

湖北宜昌黄花场剖面中/下奥陶统界线附近的牙形剌

重点描述宜昌黄花场剖面中 /下奥陶统界线附近的重要牙形剌共 3属、5种和 2新种Bergstroe mognathussp .nov .,BaltoniodustetrachotomusLiandWangsp .nov .,并对Oepikodusevae带和Baltoniodustriangu laris带分子的首现位置及带的含义进行厘定。作者还在此剖面大湾组下段发现北美中大陆区暖水型牙形剌Tripoduslaevis和Protoprioniodusaranda ,并确定Tripoduslaevis的首现位置在Baltoniodustriangularis带底界之上 0 .3m处。Tripoduslaevis的首次出现曾提议为中奥陶统的底界的标志 (见陈旭等 ,2 0 0 0 ) ,在宜昌黄花场剖面上Tripoduslaevis的首现位置接近Baltoniodustriangularis带底界 ,对确定中 /下奥陶统界线很重要。由于在黄花场剖面可识别出Baltonioduscrassulus—B .gladiatus—B .triangularis演化谱系 ,作者建议以B .triangularis的首次出现作为中奥陶统的底界 ,宜昌黄花场剖面为中 /下奥陶统界线的层型剖面。同时 ,文中将本区的牙形刺带与世界其它地区作了对比。     

Ningxiagraptus的再研究

甘肃平凉的平凉组和新疆柯坪大湾沟的萨尔干组中具有大量保存良好的Ningxiagraptus(宁夏笔石属)标本,为其研究提供了极佳的化石材料。本文结合新发现的材料,对Ningxiagraptus的分类位置进行厘定,对其变革历史中存在的若干问题进行讨论,为深入研究笔石的分类提供一个可供参考的案例。在对正笔石目笔石的分类和亲缘关系判别时,以笔石体的始端发育型式和特征为主,辅以笔石枝的结合方式及胞管性质是可行的方法。Ningxiagraptus虽具简单直管状胞管,第2个胞管自胎管口部向上转曲伸出,构成"U"字形始端,但其始端发育型式和始端形态却与Dicellograptus(叉笔石)近似,故将Ningxiagraptus归属有轴亚目的双头笔石超科。     

塔里木柯坪地层区中-上奥陶统萨尔干组碳酸盐岩微相和古地理

塔里木板块西北柯坪地层区中-上奥陶统萨尔干组的分布和相变受控于当时西浅东深的海底深度差异。萨尔干组的厚度10米左右,为富含有机物的黑色页岩并夹少量灰岩薄层或透镜体。位于研究区西南的伽师西克尔剖面缺失大部分奥陶纪地层,上奥陶统铁热克阿瓦提组碎屑岩不整合于下-中奥陶统鹰山组灰岩之上,中-晚奥陶世的大部分时段属于暴露海面的剥蚀区;北部乌什的亚科瑞克剖面无萨尔干组岩性单元,为红色居多且粒度偏粗的碎屑岩夹白云岩薄层,属于近岸带碎屑岩为主的沉积区。西克尔向东北延伸150km至柯坪羊吉坎亦无萨尔干组,与萨尔干组同期沉积的地层在此表现为大湾沟组上部浅海灰岩的相变,且与上奥陶统桑比阶坎岭组偏深水相的红色薄层含泥瘤状灰岩之间呈整合接触;由西向东出露于柯坪苏巴什沟、柯坪大湾沟、阿克苏四石厂3个剖面的萨尔干组黑色泥页岩指示典型的滞流盆地相,而夹含于萨尔干组下部和上部的薄层灰岩之微相特征差异甚为显著,表现为该组下部可见数层密集砂屑颗粒形成泥粒状灰岩或颗粒灰岩,可解释为西部相邻的浅海碳酸盐岩台地区灰岩经重力流搬运后的再沉积;而该组上部含生屑泥状灰岩则属滞流盆地相区类似于黑色页岩环境的正常沉积。从羊吉坎灰岩台地到苏巴什沟滞流盆地相之间距离仅20余千米,坡度偏大是导致重力流形成的主要原因。     

新疆巴楚中-晚奥陶世牙形刺研究的新进展

新疆巴楚新测一间房剖面分析出牙形刺24属47种。以带分子首现为标志,该剖面中上奥陶统自上而下可划分出8个牙形刺带。其中,恰尔巴克组3个带:Baltoniodusalobatus,Prioniodusvariabilis,Pygodusanserinus;一间房组3个带:Eoplacognathuscrassus,Lenodus(Amorphognathus)variabilis,Microzarkodinaparva;鹰山组2个带:Paroistoduscf.originalis;PteracontiodusexilisScolopodusbicostatus组合带。这些牙形刺带完全可与我国浙江常山黄泥塘金钉子剖面以及华南达瑞威尔阶及其上下的牙形刺带进行对比,证实一间房组几乎与达瑞威尔阶完全相当;恰尔巴克组可与华南庙坡阶对比。据牙形刺带有缺失的认识,结合地震、物探资料认为巴楚塔河阿克库勒等凸起地区,奥陶系中、上统之间有间断存在。     

塔里木中央隆起区上奥陶统的牙形刺

塔里木板块中央隆起区的上奥陶统,即巴楚露头剖面吐木休克组和良里塔格组以及塔克拉玛干沙漠腹地塔中油田井下良里塔格组皆为灰岩相.作者对前人报道的牙形刺带作了修改,首次系统描述牙形刺动物群全貌,共计14属21种.在曾归入Pygodus serra带和P.anserinus带的吐木休克组底部和下部发现Yangtzeplacognathus jianyeensis,故应改为Yangtzeplacognathus jianyeensis带;吐木休克组中部因发现Baltoniodus alobatus和B.variabilis共生,应属B.alobatus带.在Yangtzeplacognathus jianyeensis带和Baltoniodus alobatus带之间尚未发现可靠的B.variabilis,因此是否存在B.variabilis带尚存疑问.巴楚露头区上奥陶统的牙形刺序列由下而上应为Yangtzeplacognathus jianyeensis带,Baltoniodus variabilis带?,B.alobatus带和Belodina confluens带.塔中的良里塔格组则可识别出B.confluens带和Yaoxianognathus yaoxianensis带.将中央隆起区牙形刺动物群组合与其相邻的柯坪地块进行对比,说明晚奥陶世因两个地理区水深的差异导致牙形刺带完整性的差异.     

河北唐山达瑞威尔阶(Darriwilian)牙形刺生物地层的新认识

本文作者对河北唐山赵各庄剖面的北庵庄组(原称下马家沟组)和马家沟组(原称上马家沟组)较系统地采集了牙形刺样品,通过对所获之牙形刺标本和安太库等(1983)在同一剖面所描述的牙形刺动物群仔细研究,得到一些新的认识、分带及对比意见。唐山赵各庄剖面不仅具有丰富各异的地方型分子,如Aurilobodus leptosomatus,Loxodus dissectus,Tangshanodus tangshanensis,Rhipidognathus maggolensis,R.laiwuensis,Triangulodus changshanensis和Erraticodon tangshanensis外,尚有一些分布广泛和具地层意义的重要分子,如Histiodella holodentata,Eoplacognathus pseudoplanus和Eoplacognathus suecicus等。根据这些重要分子和牙形刺分带原则,本文对安太庠等(1983)的牙形刺分带重新修订,即将北庵庄组的Aurilobodus leptosomatus-Loxodus dissectus带和Tangshanodus tangshanensis带修正为Histiodella holodentata-Tangshanodus tangshanensis带,并由下而上可划分为Rhipidognathus maggolensis和R.laiwuensis两地方型亚带;将马家沟组的Eoplacognathus suecicus-Acontiodus?linxiensis带和Plectodina onychodonta带修正为Eoplacognathus suecicus带,并由下而上又可划分为Acontiodus?linxiensis和Plectodina onychodonta两个地方型牙形刺亚带。因此,唐山地区的北庵庄组产牙形刺的部分和马家沟组可与华南的牯牛潭组和新疆塔里木盆地的大湾沟组对比,归入奥陶纪达瑞威尔阶(Darriwilian),从而改变了过去将北庵庄组产牙形刺的层位,即所谓的Aurilobodus leptosomatus-Loxodus dissectus带和Tangshanodus tangshanensis带与华南区大坪阶(Dapingian)的大湾组相对比的认识。     

The base of the Middle Ordovician in China with special reference to the succession at Hengtang near Jiangshan, Zhejiang Province, southern China

Extensive work during the last decade has led to the recent decision by the International Subcommission on Ordovician Stratigraphy that the base of the Middle Ordovician Series should be placed at the base of the Baltoniodus triangularis Conodont Biozone in the Huanghuachang GSSP (Global Stratotype Section and Point) section near Yichang, Hubei Province, China. A review of the biostratigraphy of successions in many parts of China shows that for various reasons, it is currently difficult to recognize the precise boundary level in many regions, and additional studies are clearly needed. A newly exposed, previously poorly known, condensed section in deeperwater facies at Hengtang near Jiangshan in the Chiangnan (Jiangnan) belt has yielded a substantial number of important graptolites and conodonts through the boundary interval. It provides a more informative illustration of the relations between the ranges of several key taxa of these groups than any other section in China, and the level of the base of the Middle Ordovician appears to be within an about 1.8 m thick interval of Ningkuo Formation, and lies in the lower Isograptus caduceus imitatus Biozone.     

The Downton Series as the fourth Series of the Silurian System

A review of lithofacies and fossil distributions in the Downton strata of the Welsh Borderland and Wales indicates that these beds form a suitable basis for definition of a chronostratigraphical division of Series rank within the Silurian System. The basal boundary stratotype for the Downton Series is defined at the base of the Ludlow Bone Bed Member of the Downton Castle Sandstone Formation in a section at Whitcliffe Road, Ludlow. Shallow water marine sediments span the boundary, with no evidence of a measurable time break. Correlation of the base of the Downton Series from eastern North America through Baltoscandia and Poland suggests that it lies at or very close to the base of the Monograptus ultimus Biozone and thus approximates to the base of the Přiacute;dolí beds of Bohemia. This paper formed a submission to the Subcommission on Silurian Stratigraphy in May. 1981. □ Silurian, Downtown Series, standard subdivision, lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, correlation.     

新疆柯坪地区石炭系、二叠系海参骨片化石

新疆柯坪地区的石炭系、二叠系产丰富的海参骨片化石,该文描述了7属13种,包括2未定种,3不定种。这些属种在我国湖南、山西及北美等地的石炭系、二叠系中都有分布。据伴生牙形刺、(虫筳)和珊瑚化石来看,本文海参骨片大多产于上石炭—下二叠统。     

Global Standard Stratotype-section and Point (GSSP) of the Furongian Series and Paibian Stage (Cambrian)

The Global Standard Stratotype-section and Point (GSSP) of the Furongian Series (uppermost series of the Cambrian System) and the Paibian Stage (lowermost stage of the Furongian Series), has been recently defined and ratified by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS). The boundary stratotype is 369 metres above the base of the Huaqiao Formation in the Paibi section, northwestern Hunan Province, China. This point coincides with the first appearance of the cosmopolitan agnostoid trilobite Glyptagnostus reticulatus, and occurs near the base of a large positive carbon isotopic excursion (SPICE excursion).     

华中西南区一条国际前寒武系与寒武系界线层型补充剖面

1992年,全球前寒武系与寒武系界线层型剖面和层型点确定在加拿大纽芬兰东南幸运角剖面,并以遗迹化石带Trichophycus pedium的底作为前寒武系与寒武系的分界点。但是,幸运角剖面主要是以硅质碎屑岩相为主,难以与含有丰富小壳化石和具有可对比的稳定同位素资料的碳酸盐相界线剖面进行对比。为此,提出我国云南会泽大海附近的一条以碳酸盐相为主的剖面作为全球前寒武系与寒武系界线层型剖面的补充剖面。理由是（1）在大海剖面上,震旦系灯影组白岩哨段、待补段和下寒武统牛家菁组的中谊村段,大海段之间为整合接触;（2）早寒武世早期地层单元含有丰富的小壳化石并且可划分出4个小壳化石组合带;（3）利用碳同位素资料可以将大海剖面与许多其它剖面相当地层对比;（4）著名的梅树村剖面离大海剖面不远,它们均含有丰富的小壳化石和遗迹化石,两者易于对比。文章进一步认为寒武系的下界放在第I小壳化石组合带（Anabarites trisulcatus-Protohertzina anabarica）的底,相当于大海剖面11层的底。     

A proposed new global stratotype for Aeronian Stage of the Silurian System: Hlásná Třebaň section,Czech Republic

The current Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP ) for the Aeronian Stage (Llandovery Series, Silurian System), on Trefawr track in the Llandovery area of Wales, is an inadequate marker for precise, global, correlation. The International Subcommission on Silurian Stratigraphy has, therefore, undertaken the selection of a new GSSP for this level. The lowest occurrence of the graptolite Demirastrites triangulatus , 1.38 m above the base of the black‐shale succession of the ?elkovice Formation at the Hlásná T?ebaň section in Central Bohemia, is proposed to mark the base of the Aeronian Stage. The section, which fulfils all formal requirements for stratotype of a chronostratigraphical unit, should be considered as a candidate for the new GSSP . An abundant, well‐preserved, diverse graptolite fauna occurs through the section along with common chitinozoans, which indicate that the Spinachitina maennili Biozone spans the boundary interval. The section comprises the lower–middle Aeronian (D. triangulatus–Lituigraptus convolutus graptolite biozones) along with underlying Rhuddanian (Akidograptus ascensus–Coronograptus cyphus biozones) and Hirnantian strata. Several graptolite genera of primary importance in global correlation (Demirastrites , Petalolithus , Rastrites and Campograptus ) first appear in the lower part of the triangulatus Biozone. The structurally simple section is somewhat condensed, but there is a uniform succession of black shale without any evidence of disconformity in the broad boundary interval. The C_org isotope record exhibits a minor positive excursion just above the base of the triangulatus Biozone, whereas TOC and N isotope and elemental geochemical records provide evidence for uninterrupted sedimentation under stable, anoxic conditions.
