简介:系统的Ce异例为整个岩石从跨越奥陶纪/志留纪(O/S)的页岩主导、连续、远洋的沉积序列被获得了在Tieshui的边界()Xiushan(),重庆(),华南。越过O/S边界的Ce异例在三间隔被认出,Wufeng(),Guanyinqiao()并且Longmaxi()。计算Ce/Ce*Wufeng形成的价值从0.84~0.96(avg。0.90)。在Guanyinqiao形成,计算Ce/Ce的价值*从0.73~0.85(avg。0.79)。Ce/Ce*价值最高从0.87~0.96的Longmaxi形成范围(avg。0.91)。沿着节,Ce异例的大小总是是否定的,但是在Guanyinqiao形成是更重要的。相对更高的Ce/Ce*在Wufeng和Longmaxi页岩的价值是可能的由于在减少的条件下面扔的沉积。Ce异例显然确实在伴随突出的集体扑灭的缺氧的事件起一些常规作用,并且这个工作为在结束抑制模型提供批评重要性的新数据--奥陶纪缺氧的事件和集体扑灭。
