Here, we describe a new species of Coniopteris moguqiensis sp. nov. preserved as a fragment with fertile and sterile pinnules. The sterile ultimate pinnules are elongate ovate with sphenopteriod type venation, and fertile pinnules are usually isolated, bipinnate at least with the sorus apical, elliptical, 1 mm in diameter;sporangia are almost globular, 100-150 μm in diameter, and the annulus is vertical. In situ spores are rounded-triangular in polar view, 25-30 μm in diameter with sides straight and slightly convex;trilete, laesurae are thin and slightly straight;the exine surface is usually psilate under the light microscope but finely reticuloid sculptured on the proximal view under a scanning electronic microscope. The fern genus Coniopteris usually suggests a warm and humid environment, which is consistent with the palaeoclimatic conditions of petrified wood and megafossil plants. The new discovery further supplements the floral composition of the Wanbao Formation, providing new material for understanding the evolutionary trend and classification of Coniopteris.展开更多

Little studies have been carried out on the age of Mesozoic magmatism and petrogenesis in the area. Zircon U-Pb geochronology and geochemistry of the Liudaogougranodiorite were undertaken in this study to determine the forming-age of the granodiorite and to understand its petrogenesis and tectonic background of diagenesis. Zircon in the rock samples show good idiomorphic and obvious rhythmic growth girdle zone,belonging to typical magmatic zircon.Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating results show that the emplacement of rock mass occurred in late Early Cretaceous( 125 ± 1 Ma,MSWD = 0. 53). The geochemical data show that the rock belongs to quasi-aluminous granite of type I which has the properties of high potassium calc-alkaline adakite,with A/CNK ratio of 0. 82--0. 98( < 1. 1). The rock shows obvious enrichment of LILE and LREE but depletion of HFSE,and is characterized by high Sr( 374. 9 × 10^(-6)--777. 6 × 10^(-6)) and low Y( 8. 84 × 10^(-6)--12. 4 × 10^(-6)). The samples are rich in Si,and the K_2 O/Na_2 O ratio( 0. 99--1. 30) is very high,indicating that magma might have originated from melting upper crust. The high content of Mg~#( 49. 68--56. 92) in the samples implies that mantle-derived materials might have involved in magma. It can be concluded that in the process of delamination,the lower crust sank,and was heated by asthenosphere mantle,and partially melted. The primitive magma should be the mixture of the mantle-derived magma and the partially melting lower crust. Integrating research results on the regional contemporary igneous rock,it can be concluded that the rocks were formed in an active continental margin environment related to the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate to the Eurasian Plate.展开更多

文摘Coniopteris simplex is a common component in many Jurassic floras.However,due to morphological variations in sterile fronds and incomplete preservation of reproductive organs,its classification has been controversial for a long time.Here,we present new material collected from the Middle Jurassic Yan’an Formation in the Ordos Basin,Inner Mongolia.The new material reveals important morphological characters,including hemi-dimorphic fronds,two forms of sterile pinnae,short-stalked sori and sporangia on fertile fronds,annulus of sporangium composed of about 30 cells,in situ rounded triangular spores with protruded suture,and the lips of trilete laesura encircled by one or two rows of small ostioles.Based on these observations,we emended the diagnosis of this common species.The spatio-temporal distribution of Coniopteris simplex shows that the iconic species was restricted to the paleolatitudes ranging from 19.5°N to 48.9°N in the Northern Hemisphere during the Early—Late Jurassic,mainly distributed in the tropical to paratropical zones,and the paleolongitude ranging from 9.6°E to 129.3°E,which may be limited by the opening of the Viking Corridor and the splitting of the Central Atlantic Ocean.
