In recent years, several Late Yanshanian granitic intrusions and associated deposits have been found in this region, the largest one of which in the Shangri-La region is the Laba molybdenum deposit. Previous studies suggested that the timing of the Laba mineralization is 85 ±2 Ma. However, the ages of the granodioritic porphyry remain unknown. In this study, LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating of zircons from three samples of the molybdenite-bearing granodioritic porphyry has been conducted with resulting dates of 85.00±0.23 Ma （MSWD = 0.58）, 85.28 ± 0.28 Ma （MSWD = 1.12）, and 84.83 ± 0.26 Ma （MSWD = 0.79）, respectively, indicating that these granodioritie porphyries formed in the Late Yanshanian around -85 Ma. Combined with the geological features of the mineralization, the Laba deposit is spatially, temporally, and probably genetically associated with the granodioritic porphyries. In addition, the ages of the Laba deposits are consistent with the other Late Yanshanian intrusions and mineralization, suggesting that the mineralization was probably generated under an intra-plate extensional environment during the Late Cretaceous.展开更多
We describe two new species of Sellaphora from Lake Fuxian, Ytmnan Plateau, China.

Based on both light and scanning electron microscopy, these species are described as S. yunnanensis sp. nov. and S. sinensis sp. nov. The primary features of S. yunnanens＆ are： elliptical to linear-elliptical valves with broadly rounded ends, straight filiform raphe, almost straight central endings and small, slightly expanding central pores, small central area, symmetrical or slightly asymmetrical central nodule. The primary features of S. sinensis are： elliptical valves, obtusely rounded ends, similar raphe and axial area, transapically less expanded central area, larger, elliptical central nodule. We compare these species to those of a similar shape and morphology.展开更多

This paper deals with the vertical profile of the basic constituents such as Ca2 +, K +, Na+, and HCO3, as well as of pH in the overlying water mass and sediment porewater of Lake Lugu-a semi-closed, deep lake in Yunnan Province. The results revealed that those basic constituents may diffuse and transport from bottom sediments to overlying water mass through porewater. In the paper are also quantitatively evaluated the diffusive fluxes and the extent of their influence on overlying water mass, indicating that the lake sediment-water interface diffusion plays an important role in controling the basic chemical composition of water in the whole lake.展开更多

The results show that climate had tran- sited from cold-wet to warm-wet during ca. 12950-8399 aBP in this area, and the transition happened in ca. 10329 aBP. Due to the enhancing southwest Asian monsoon and increasing precipitation, the lake-level of the Erhai Lake began to rise after ca. 10329 a BP. Climate in the catchment was warm and wet during the mid-Holocene, and the warmest stage appeared in ca. 8399-6371 a BP. The lake-level descended in the mid-Holocene because of the decrease of effective moisture in the basin. Human activities appeared in ca. 6371 a BP, and the initial man- ner mainly focused on deforestation. Up to ca. 2139 a BP, due to the amount of immigration into this area, the cultivation was developed widely, which was followed by mining (coal mine).展开更多
