It was found that the abundance of marine flagellate ranged from 45 to 1 278 cell/ml, 479 cell/ml in average. Flagellate was more abundant in the central part than in the north part of Huanghai Sea, and the abundance decreased with the increasing distance from the coast, showing a similar distribution pattern with isotherm. Vertically, high density of flagellate was always presented in the bottom of thermocline, and formed a dense accumulation in the central area of the Huanghai Sea Cold Water Mass. The effects of physical and biological factors on the distribution of marine flagellate in early summer were discussed. Water temperature (especially the existence of thermocline) rather than salinity showed significant effect on the distribution pattern of marine flagellate in the Huanghai Sea in early summer. When comparing the abundance of marine flagellate with that of other microorganisms, it revealed a comparatively stable relationship among these organ-hisms, with a ratio of heterotrophic bacteria: cyanobacteria: flagellate: dinoflagellate: ciliate being 105 :103:102:101:100.展开更多

These trachytes have been highly enriched by Sr and Nd isotopic signatures (87Sr/86Sr(t)= 0.70638～ 0.70672, εNd(t) = -16.3～ -15.7), overlapping Sr-Nd isotopic range of late Mesozoic mafic igneous rocks in the region. Taking into account Nb-Ta fractionation and high Zr/Sm ratio for these trachytes, we consider that the trachytes of Donglingtai Formation are derived from the garnet-bearing amphibolite in the lower crust composed of garnet + plagioclase ± amphibole ± pyroxene residual phases. On the basis of the melting experimental results of crustal materials and regional extensional tectonics during late Mesozoic, it is concluded that the thermal input from underplating basaltic melt results in the partial melting of lower continental crust to generate the trachytes of Donglingtai Formation. And the characteristics of high Sr and Ba for these trachytes suggest that part of underplating basalts should take a share in partial melting at least.展开更多

Whole-rock ^40Ar/^39Ar and SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating were carried out for the representative basalt samples in three typical profiles in the area. Three basalts from the upper segment of Yangxu profile and lower segment of Yufeng and Min'an profiles yield the 4^40Ar/^39Ar plateau ages of 253.6±0.4 Ma (20BS-71),255.4±0.4 Ma (20BS-99) and 256.2±0.8 Ma (20BS-119), respectively. Twenty-three analyses on 23 zircons of the basalt from the upper segment of Yangxu profile give a weighted mean ^206Pb/^238U age of 253.7±6.1 Ma with an MSWD=2.8.These new and published geochronological data for Emeishan large igneous province (LIP) indicate that the Emeishan LIP was initiated at -260 Ma, voluminously erupted between 253 and 256 Ma, and possibly ended at -251-253Ma: The age (251-260Ma) is generally consistent with that of the associated environmental deterioration and mass extinction events at the end-Guadalupian and Permo-Triassic boundary. These precise geochronological data provide important constraints on the dominantly eruptive time of the Emeishan LIP and understanding of the distribution of Emeishan high-Ti basalts and its mantle plume dynamics.展开更多
