Early earth environment simulation equipment in degradation-mineralization balance research and method of simulation equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses early earth environment simulation equipment in a degradation-mineralization balance research and a method of the simulation equipment. A subjective environment simulation area is made from a rigid waterproof material and is divided into three parts, namely a buffer zone in middle and two effective environment simulation zones on two sides, wherein the buffer zone is separated from the effective zones through two layers of partition boards, and is provided with communicating holes; a valve and a control mechanism of the valve are arranged on the communicating holes; a same physical environment is simultaneously provided from the buffer zone to the effective environment zones on two sides through the communicating holes, or different physical environments are respectively provided; water outlets are formed on upper, middle and lower positions outside the two effective environment zones; a series of settling holes are formed in the bottom of each effective environment zone; each settling hole is hermetically connected with a sample connecting pipe. The invention provides an apparatus carrier for simulating an earth palaeoenvironment; experimental data is acquired through simulation tests, thus providing a more reliable experimental data basis for speculating the earth palaeoenvironment and a fossil forming process; the simulation equipment and the method are applicable to simulation experiment of various early earth environments.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a device for simulating the early earth environment, and relates to the fields of geology, sedimentology, paleontology, etc.; biodegradation-mineralization balance equipment and its experiment developed by improving existing scientific instruments such as microbial reactors and climate simulators method, to realize the simulation of biodegradation and mineralization experiments, so as to obtain relevant information such as the morphology and structure changes of organisms in the process of fossilization, and provide an important basis for understanding the development process of paleontology and paleoenvironment in the history of the earth. Background technique [0002] Fossils play a very important role in the study of the origin, evolution, and evolution of the earth's environment. Ancient life preserved as fossils will also change in shape and structure during the process of degradation, burial, and fossilization. These chan...

Problems solved by technology

In China, some researchers including the applicant's leading group have also carried out a series of experimental simulations of degradation-mineralization research, but due to the lack of necessary control equipment and conditions, many special conditions that may be close to the early earth's environment are difficult to simulate Realization, the development of degradation-mineralization equipment that can effectively simulate the possible geological environment has become an international frontier research field of geological paleontology
