摘要
首次使用同步辐射X射线荧光法(SXRF)测试了双柏县安龙堡的恐龙化石,在其截面上原位获得了Ca,Fe,Mn,Cu,Zn,As,Y和Sr等八种元素的分布图。测试结果表明,各种元素在化石中的分布是非均匀的,与一般的矿物岩石元素的分布不同。元素分布图表明,在双柏恐龙化石中未检测到As元素,与四川自贡恐龙由于As元素高的非正常死亡相比,双柏恐龙属正常死亡情形。在分布图中容易看出,化石中的Fe和Mn元素是共生的;Sr和Y两种元素也是共生的,显示化石在成岩过程中,所含Fe,Mn,Sr,Y的化合物胶体均为带异种电荷的颗粒,据此可推知当时这些元素所属化合物的可能形式。同步X射线荧光显微探测法研究恐龙化石元素分布具有原位、快速、准确、直观等优势,它可以将共生元素分离开来,这是XRD和等离子光谱等测试手段不能实现的。恐龙化石微量元素的分布,揭示了化石微区矿物结构的相关信息,这对于挖掘化石蕴涵的古地质特征,恢复古地理、古地质研究的潜力具有重要意义。
The metal elements mapping of Shuangbai dinosaur fossil, was obtained by synchrotron x-ray fluorescence（SXRF）. Eight elements, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, As, Y and Sr were determined. Elements As and Y were detected for the first time in the dinosaur fossil. The data indicated that metal elements are asymmetrical on fossil section. This is different from common minerals. Mapping metals showed that metal element As is few. The dinosaur most likely belongs to natural death, This is different from Zigong dinosaurs which were found dead from poisoning. This method has been used to find that metals Fe and Mn are accrete, and the same is ture for Sr and Y. This study indicated that colloid granule Fe and Mn, as well as Sr and Y had opposite electric charges in lithification process of fossils. By this analysis, compound forms can be ascertained. Synchrotron light source x-ray fluorescence is a complementary method that shows mapping of metal elements at the dinosaur fossil, and is rapid, exact and intuitionist. This study shows that dinosaur fossil mineral imaging has a potential in reconstructing the paleoenvironment and ancient geology.
