Multiple generations of pseudotachylyte in the brittle to ductile regimes, Qinling–Dabie Shan ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphic complex, central China - Aiming Lin; Zhiming Sun; Zhenyu Yang (Island Arc, 2003)
Pseudotachylytes are present along the Dahezhen shear zone in the Qinling–Dabie Shan collisional orogenic belt, central China. Two types of pseudotachylyte vein are documented in the shear zone: cataclasite‐related pseudotachylyte (C‐Pt) and mylonite‐related pseudotachylyte (M‐Pt). M‐Pt is associated with mylonite‐development and is overprinted by C‐Pt. All of the quartz and most of the feldspar porphyroclasts within the M‐Pt are plastically deformed, but not in the C‐Pt. Dynamically recrystallized fine‐grained quartz and feldspar bands are oriented subparallel to the mylonite and M‐Pt foliation, and partially surround the porphyroclasts. Our results suggest that the M‐Pt formed cyclically in the ductile region at estimated conditions of 400–650°C and 400–800 MPa due to propagation of seismic fracturing associated with the thrusting‐related rapid exhumation of the ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphic complex in the brittle regime down to a greater depth than the base of the seismogenic zone. The M‐Pt and mylonite formed in the Dahezhen shear zone at estimated conditions of 400–650°C and 400–800 MPa. The coexistence of C‐Pt and M‐Pt in the same shear zone suggests that repeated seismic slips occurred in both the brittle and ductile portions of the crust during the thrusting‐related rapid exhumation of the ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphic complex.

Geochemical and Sm–Nd isotopic characteristics of metabasites from central Hainan Island, South China and their tectonic significance - Xian‐Hua Li; Hanwen Zhou; Sun‐Lin Chung; Shijiang Ding; Ying Liu; Chi‐Yu Lee; Wenchun Ge; Yeming Zhang; Renjie Zhang (Island Arc, 2002)
Major and trace elements and Sm–Nd isotopic data are presented for metabasites that are present as lenses within Paleozoic metasediments in the Chenxing and Bangxi regions, central Hainan Island, Southeast (SE) China. Most metabasites are metamorphosed cumulated gabbroic rocks tholeiitic in nature, and characterized by varying degrees of depletion in Th, Nb, Ta and light rare earth elements (LREE). Moreover, they show high positive ∈Nd(T) values of approximately +7, similar to those of mid‐ocean ridge basalts (MORB). A Sm–Nd isochron age of 333 ± 12 Ma obtained for the metabasites is interpreted as their crystallization age. The combined geochemical and Sm–Nd isotopic data suggest that the metabasites were generated by dynamic partial melting from a MORB‐like mantle source in an oceanic regime. These rocks probably represent remnants of fragmented oceanic crust of the eastern part of Paleo‐Tethys. They were obducted onto the continental crust as part of the ‘Shilu Mélange’ in earliest Mesozoic time when southern Hainan (part of the Indochina block) collided with northern Hainan (part of South China). Alternatively, they could be formed in a volcanic rifted passive margin at the sea‐floor spreading stage as part of MORB‐like seaward‐dipping reflector break‐up packages.

Stimulation of testicular function by exogenous testosterone in male protandrous black porgy, Acanthopagrus schlegeli - E.‐L. Lau; B.‐Y. Lin; F.‐Y. Lee; L.‐T. Sun; S. Dufour; C.‐F. Chang (Journal of Fish Biology, 1997)
When 4 mg of testosterone (T) per kg food was given to 1‐year‐old protandrous male black porgy Acanthopagrus schlegeli for 7 months, gonadosomatic index was significantly higher than when the dose was 0.5 mg kg −1 food. Both doses of T prolonged the spawning season, and increased the number of spermiating fish and milt volume. Sperm concentrations were similar in spermiating black porgy from the treated and control groups. Low levels of oestradiol‐17β were observed during the experimental period while elevated levels of plasma T were observed only in March in both control and T‐treated groups. Significantly higher levels of plasma 11‐ketotestosterone (11‐KT) were observed in the 0.5‐ and 4.0‐mg T‐treated groups during the spawning season as compared to the control group. The present data suggest that both 0.5‐ and 4·0‐mg T doses stimulate testicular weight, increase numbers of spermiating males and milt volume without affecting the sperm concentrations. Plasma 11‐KT concentrations were elevated during T treatment and closely correlated with testicular development and spermiation.
