鄂尔多斯盆地西缘位于中国东西部构造接合区,其奥陶纪末期构造体制的改变引起了广泛关注。选取老石旦剖面中奥陶统碳酸盐岩作为研究对象,通过地球化学分析,恢复其古环境特征并探索盆地西缘中奥陶世构造体制改变在沉积学与地球化学方面的响应。结果显示:(1)三道坎组和桌子山组碳酸盐岩δ18O为-5.2‰~-8.9‰,平均值为-7.0‰;δ13C为1.3‰~-1.8‰,平均值为-0.1‰。δ18O自下而上不断增加,并在顶部出现小幅降低。δ13C与δ18O变化趋势相似。(2)古环境特征表现为从三道坎组到桌子山组,水温经历了初期震荡,从32.7 ℃缓慢降至15.7 ℃。古盐度Z值呈不断增加的趋势,反映出该沉积期水体加深、盐度不断升高。(3)主量、微量元素指标反映出研究区中奥陶世沉积水体不断加深,从三道坎组到桌子山组陆源碎屑物质含量逐渐降低,指示沉积环境由局限台地向开阔台地转变。结合研究区中奥陶统构造背景,认为中奥陶世鄂尔多斯盆地西缘已经处于前陆盆地的构造体制下,逐渐受到阿拉善地块和华北板块碰撞造山影响,盆地呈现西北高、东南低的古地貌特征,从而导致蒸发浓缩的富钾卤水向东南部汇聚;因此,陕北盐盆东南部次级凹陷是海相钾盐矿床的重点勘探靶区。  相似文献

湘西王村剖面寒武系鼓山阶(Drumian)底界附近碳酸盐岩的δ~(13)C值分布于0.5‰~–3.0‰之间,δ~(18)O值分布于–4.0‰~–12.0‰之间,少数碳酸盐岩样品的δ~(18)O值低于–10.0‰,指示岩石经历成岩期后蚀变作用影响,但δ~(13)C、δ~(18)O之间的非协变关系指示碳同位素组成比较稳定。鼓山阶底界附近δ~(13)C表现为负漂移演化趋势,负漂移幅度为4.0‰,最低值出现在鼓山阶底界之上9 m处,与美国犹他州Drum Mountains剖面鼓山阶负漂移(DICE)出现的位置基本一致,负漂移幅度可与美国内华达州Desert Range剖面、Panaca Hills剖面、犹他州House Range剖面、Drum Mountains剖面对比,表明DICE负漂移具有洲际可对比性,可作为寒武系鼓山阶划分与对比的工具。湘西王村剖面寒武系第二统顶部清虚洞组、第三统底部敖溪组白云岩为海平面下降期形成的进积序列,寒武系第三统花桥组下部黑色泥灰岩、钙质泥岩夹富含黄铁矿结核的硅质条带为深水斜坡相沉积,超覆于白云岩之上。因此,寒武系鼓山阶底部附近的DICE负漂移发生在寒武纪第三世鼓山期海侵时期,与美国Drum Mountains剖面鼓山阶DICE负漂移所处的沉积环境相似。  相似文献

土壤有机碳同位素组成(δ13C)记录的环境信息对研究气候与环境变化至关重要,然而高海拔地区土壤δ13C对气候变化的响应机制尚不明确。对青藏高原南部雅鲁藏布江中上游地区(海拔3 500~5 100 m)的36个表土样品进行了δ13C系统分析,并讨论了其对气候因素的响应。结果表明:表土δ13C值分布在-24.6‰~-15.2‰范围之间,平均值为-20.8‰,指示了地上植被为C3/C4混合植被类型。随着海拔的升高,C4植物比例减少,C3植物比例增加,这种比例变化主导了该区域表土δ13C的组成差异。海拔每升高100 m,δ13C值偏负0.5‰。进一步分析说明,生长季温度可能是影响该区域表土δ13C变化的主要气候因子,降水、大气压等对δ13C值的贡献较低。  相似文献

鄂尔多斯奥陶系碳酸盐岩碳氧同位素特征及其意义*   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0       下载免费PDF全文
鄂尔多斯古生代海相地层沉积厚度巨大。鄂尔多斯奥陶系碳酸盐岩的碳氧同位素组成受后期成岩作用影响较小,基本保留了原始海洋的同位素组成: δ13C值分布于-7.30‰~2.26‰之间,均值-0.30‰;δ18O值分布于-13.14‰~-1.94‰之间,均值-6.38‰,碳氧同位素组成与全球基本一致。区域上,鄂尔多斯西缘具有相对较高的δ13C值,南缘次之,而东缘最低。纵向上,碳同位素组成逐渐增重,并在中晚奥陶世发生明显的正向偏移,δ13C均值由马家沟组的-0.36‰增加到平凉组的0.15‰,至背锅山组增加至0.68‰。碳同位素的区域分布差异表明鄂尔多斯西缘水体相对较深,南缘次之,东缘相对较浅,由早奥陶世至晚奥陶世水体逐渐加深,碳同位素组成反映的海平面变化趋势与沉积相演化一致。鄂尔多斯西南缘中晚奥陶世碳同位素组成的正向偏移,标志着较高的生产力和有机碳埋藏率,具有重要的石油地质学意义,西南缘的平凉组/乌拉力克组和背锅山组是下古生界最重要和有效的烃源岩层。  相似文献

在扬子地台贵州台江八郎下、中寒武统界线剖面界线附近,碳酸盐岩和干酪根碳同位素组成有规律变化。1δ3Cker(PDB)值在-33.4‰和-26.5‰间漂移与1δ3Ccarb(PDB)值在-2.7‰和 3.1‰间变化,反映了当时海水的碳同位素组成。无机和有机碳同位素组成之差的Δδ值,沿剖面不断变小,指示剖面上部样品可能受到热扰动和成岩后期作用影响。碳同位素规律的变化,反映了最初的沉积信息,特别是有机质埋藏量的变化,这些变化与早-中寒武世环境变化和生物组合差异有关。  相似文献

豫北和鲁西地区寒武系苗岭统上部δ13C演化表现为下降趋势,芙蓉统下部δ13C呈上升趋势,并表现出显著正漂移,这次δ13C正漂移出现在三叶虫Chuangia带内,可与世界各地芙蓉统排碧阶的δ13C正漂移(SPICE)对比。δ13C演化趋势与三叶虫、牙形石、浮游植物的繁盛与萧条表现出一定的耦合关系。苗岭世晚期三叶虫大规模绝灭时期,δ13C呈逐渐降低趋势,苗岭世末期新的三叶虫科大量出现时期,δ13C呈上升趋势。另外,海平面升降对δ13C演化具有明显的影响,海侵时期沉积的碳酸盐岩其δ13C呈逐渐增大趋势,高水位早期沉积的碳酸盐岩具有较高的δ13C值,高水位晚期或海平面下降期沉积的碳酸盐岩的δ13C呈逐渐下降趋势。海平面变化是导致生态环境变化、生物群落演化、碳同位素组成演化的关键因素。  相似文献

深层油气勘探是未来油气资源的重要接替领域。渤海湾盆地下伏石炭-二叠系煤系烃源岩自油气勘探取得新突破以来,一直是深层油气领域研究的热点。黄骅坳陷新部署的QG8井奥陶系碳酸盐岩储层和YG1井二叠系砂岩储层获高产凝析油气流,其来源判别问题是深层油气勘探的关键。针对QG8、YG1井凝析油气开展的生物标志化合物、有机碳稳定同位素和原油物性研究表明:两口井的凝析油均为低黏度、低密度的典型轻质原油,具有姥鲛烷优势(Pr/Ph>2.8),QG8井凝析油饱和烃δ13C为-29.1‰、芳烃δ13C为-26.8‰;天然气δ13C1偏重,介于-39.7‰~-36.4‰之间,干燥系数大于0.8,重烃可达16.2%,为偏干湿气。QG8与YG1井凝析油特征与黄骅坳陷石炭-二叠系煤系烃源岩(饱和烃δ13C为-29.26‰~-26.87‰,芳烃δ13C为-26.62‰~-24.15‰)及KG4井原油物性(0.757 1~0.840 2 g/cm3)相近,天然气特征则相似于济阳坳陷GBG1井的煤成气(δ13C1为-43‰~-35‰),表明高产的凝析油气来自石炭-二叠系煤系烃源岩。证实渤海湾盆地深层石炭-二叠系煤系具有生烃潜力和油气勘探前景。  相似文献

西岔、金厂沟金矿床是层控破碎带蚀变岩型金矿,其成矿时代为印支期至燕山早期。地层岩石中元素丰度及其演化资料表明,本矿床成矿物质来源具双重性,即有来源于地层,也可能有部分来自岩浆岩。稳定同位素研究结果西岔金矿床δ34S=1.9‰-7.4‰;黑厂沟金矿床δ34S=3.3‰-5.1‰,二矿床疏同位素组成基本相近,表明硫源相似。δ34SH2o值=5.3‰-6.4‰;δ13C=-6.1‰流体包裹体研究表明,成矿流体主要为氯化物水型。成矿温度集中于142-290℃。由此推断矿液水可能是岩浆水与大气降水的混合水。矿液中碱可能来源于地层。  相似文献

提要:对采自斜坡相区寒武系湖南永顺王村剖面的38件碳氧稳定同位素样品测试分析和研究显示,在该剖面存在一个碳稳定同位素的异常事件——SPICE事件。该事件碳稳定同位素具有明显的正漂移,其值从花桥组顶部的0.69‰逐渐增加,至车夫组中部达到峰值3.05‰,其后,其值逐渐减小,大致在比条组中部达到最低0.67‰。该事件的成因不但和上升流、有机质快速埋藏等有关,还叠加了碳酸盐岩风化作用的因素;鉴于该事件具有广泛的可比性,在地层划分对比中,特别是在局限台地相地层划分对比中具有重要意义。  相似文献

红色碳酸盐岩是华南奥陶系的一种具有紫红—砖红色调的代表性沉积岩,其中可能蕴含特殊的古环境信息。湖南湘西三百洞地区具有一条出露良好、厚层为主的红色碳酸盐岩剖面,主要发育于大湾组和牯牛潭组内,文章对该段地层采集了355件碳、氧同位素和Mn、Sr元素分析样品,以及10件牙形刺化石样品进行研究。根据牙形刺样品约束,大湾组底界可能大致相当于弗洛阶顶界,大湾组和牯牛潭组界线在达瑞威尔阶中下部,牯牛潭组顶界大致相当于达瑞威尔阶顶界。据显微薄片鉴定、δ13C-δ18O相关性分析和Mn-Sr元素评估,推断样品受到成岩作用影响不大。355件同位素测试样品显示三百洞剖面的δ13C和δ18O均为低幅高频振荡,δ13C在-0.38‰~1.67‰之间,δ18O在-9.34‰~-7.21‰之间,其中可与全球对比的同位素事件有大坪阶底部碳同位素负漂事件(BDNICE)和达瑞威尔阶中部碳同位素漂移事件(MDICE),可以间接对比的有达瑞威尔阶下部碳同位素负漂事件(LDNICE),此外还有2...  相似文献

湘西花垣排碧寒武系花桥组上段—车夫组沉积环境的探讨   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
湘西排碧位于中上扬子陆块的东南缘,前人认为在寒武纪第三世时期该地区位于以各种类型的"碳酸盐重力流沉积"发育为显著特征的"台缘斜坡相带"内,其主要岩石类型为泥质条带灰岩及砾屑灰岩。本文通过对花桥组上段—车夫组典型沉积物的岩石组分及沉积构造进行详细研究,发现条带灰岩并非泥质条带灰岩,而是由灰岩条带——颗粒灰岩、泥晶灰岩与粉砂质条带——粉砂质灰岩、纹层状含炭质粉砂质灰岩互层组成,表现出内源碳酸盐沉积物与陆源碎屑沉积物混积以及陆棚环境沉积物的典型特征。砾屑灰岩及伴生岩石组合发育丘状(洼状)交错层理等众多风暴成因的沉积构造,为具有不同风暴沉积序列的风暴沉积物。此外,花桥组上段—车夫组沉积物中含各种藻类等浅水生物及大量三叶虫骨刺。因此,认为花桥组上段—车夫组的沉积环境应为正常浪基面以下、风暴浪基面以上,受周期性强风浪作用影响的混积陆棚环境。  相似文献

《Sedimentary Geology》2006,183(1-2):51-69
The Chicxulub Sedimentary Basin of the northwestern Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, which was formed because of the largest identified Phanerozoic bolide impact on Earth, became a site of deposition of dominantly marine carbonate sediments during most of the Cenozoic Era. This is a study of the filling and diagenetic history of this basin and surrounding areas. The study makes use of lithologic, biostratigraphic, petrographic, and geochemical data obtained on core samples from boreholes drilled throughout the northwestern Yucatan Peninsula.The core sample data indicate that: 1) The Chicxulub Sedimentary Basin concentrated the deposition of pelagic and outer-platform sediments during the Paleocene and Eocene, and, in places, during the Early Oligocene, as well, and filled during the Middle Miocene, 2) deeper-water limestone also is present within the Paleocene and Lower Eocene of the proposed Santa Elena Depression, which is located immediately south of the Basin, 3) shallow-water deposits are relatively more abundant outside the Basin and Depression than inside, 4) the autigenic and allogenic silicates from the Paleogene formations are the most abundant inside the Depression, 5) sediment deposition and diagenesis within the Basin also were controlled by impact crater topography, 6) the abundance of the possible features of subaerial exposure increases upward and outward from the center of the Basin, and 7) the formation of replacive low-magnesium calcite and dolomite, dedolomitization, dissolution, and precipitation of vug-filling calcite and dolomite cement have been more common outside the Basin than inside.δ18O in whole-rock (excluding vug-filling) calcite from core samples ranges from − 7.14‰ to + 0.85‰ PDB. δ13C varies from − 6.92‰ to + 3.30‰ PDB. Both stable isotopes correlate inversely with the abundance of subaerial exposure features indicating that freshwater diagenesis has been extensive especially outside and at the edge of the Chicxulub Sedimentary Basin.δ18O and δ13C in whole-rock (excluding vug-filling) dolomite ranges from − 5.54‰ to + 0.87‰ PDB and − 4.63‰ to + 3.38‰ PDB, respectively. Most dolomite samples have negative δ18O and positive δ13C suggesting that replacive dolomitization involved the presence of a fluid dominated by freshwater and/or an anomalously high geothermal gradient.Most dolomite XRD-determined mole percent CaCO3 varies between 51 and 56. Replacive dolomite is larger, more euhedral, and less stoichiometric inside the Chicxulub Sedimentary Basin than outside.  相似文献

Carbonate concretions in the Lower Carboniferous Caton Shale Formation contain diagenetic pyrite, calcite and barite in the concretion matrix or in different generations of septarian fissures. Pyrite was formed by sulphate reduction throughout the sediment before concretionary growth, then continued to form mainly in the concretion centres. The septarian calcites show a continuous isotopic trend from δ13C=?28·7‰ PDB and δ18O=?1·6‰ PDB through to δ13C=?6·9‰ PDB and δ18O=?14·6‰ PDB. This trend arises from (1) a carbonate source initially from sulphate reduction, to which was added increasing contributions of methanogenic carbonate; and (2) burial/temperature effects or the addition of isotopically light oxygen from meteoric water. The concretionary matrix carbonates must have at least partially predated the earliest septarian cements, and thus used the same carbonate sources. Consequently, their isotopic composition (δ13C=?12·0 to ?10·1‰ PDB and δ18O=?5·7 to ?5·6‰ PDB) can only result from mixing a carbonate cement derived from sulphate reduction with cements containing increasing proportions of carbonate from methanogenesis and, directly or indirectly, also from skeletal carbonate. Concretionary growth was therefore pervasive, with cements being added progressively throughout the concretion body during growth. The concretions contain barite in the concretion matrix and in septarian fissures. Barite in the earlier matrix phase has an isotopic composition (δ34S=+24·8‰ CDT and δ18O=+16·4‰ SMOW), indicating formation from near‐surface, sulphate‐depleted porewaters. Barites in the later septarian phase have unusual isotopic compositions (δ34S=+6 to +11‰ CDT and δ18O=+8 to +11‰ SMOW), which require the late addition of isotopically light sulphate to the porewaters, either from anoxic sulphide oxidation (using ferric iron) or from sulphate dissolved in meteoric water. Carbon isotope and biomarker data indicate that oil trapped within septarian fissures was derived from the maturation of kerogen in the enclosing sediments.  相似文献

Stratabound epigenetic dolomite occurs in carbonate facies of the Barrandian basin (Silurian and Devonian), Czech Republic. The most intense dolomitization is developed in bioclastic calcarenites within the transition between micritic limestone and shaledominated Přídolí and Lochkov formations deposited on a carbonate slope. Medium-crystalline (100–400 μm), inclusion-rich, xenotopic matrix dolomite (δ 18O=−4.64 to −3.40‰ PDB;δ 13C=+1.05 to +1.85‰ PDB) which selectively replaced most of the bioclastic precursor is volumetrically the most important dolomite type. Coarse crystalline saddle dolomite (δ 18O=−8.04 to −5.14‰ PDB;δ 18C=+0.49 to +1.49 PDB) which precipitated in fractures and vugs within the matrix dolomite represents a later diagenetic dolomitization event. In some vugs, saddle dolomite coprecipitated with petroleum inclusion-rich authigenic quartz crystals and minor sulfides which, in turn, were post-dated by semisolid asphaltic bitumen. The interpretation of the dolomitization remains equivocal. Massive xenotopic dolomite, although generally characteristic of a deeper burial setting, may have been formed by a recrystallization of an earlier, possibly shallow burial dolomite. Deeper burial recrystallization by reactive basinal pore fluids that presumably migrated through the more permeable upper portion of the Přídolí sequence appears as a viable explanation for this dolomitization overprint. Saddle dolomite cement of the matrix dolomite is interpreted as the last dolomitization event that occurred during deep burial at the depth of the oil window zone. The presence of saddle dolomite, the fluid inclusion composition of associated quartz crystals, and vitrinite paleogeothermometry of adjacent sediments imply diagenetic burial temperatures as high as 160°C. Although high geothermal gradients in the past or the involvement of hydrothermally influenced basinal fluids can account for these elevated temperatures, burial heating beneath approximately 3-km-thick sedimentary overburden of presumably post-Givetian strata, no longer preserved in the basin, appears to be the most likely interpretation. This interpretaion may imply that the magnitude of post-Variscan erosion in the Barrandian area was substantially greater than previously thought.  相似文献

Upper Visean limestones in the Campine Basin of northern Belgium are intensively fractured. The largest and most common fractures are cemented by non-ferroan, dull brown-orange luminescent blocky calcite. First melting temperatures of fluid inclusions in these calcites are around -57°C, suggesting that precipitation of the cements occurred from NaCl-CaCl2-MgCl2 fluids. The final melting temperatures (Tmice) are between -5 and -33°C. The broad range in the Tmice data can be explained by the mixing of high salinity fluids with meteoric waters, but other hypotheses may also be valid. Homogenization temperatures from blocky calcite cements in the shelf limestones are interpreted to have formed between 45 and 75°C. In carbonates which were deposited close to and at the shelf margin, precipitation temperatures were possibly in the range 70-85°C and 72-93°C, respectively. On the shelf, the calcites have a δ18O around -9.3‰ PDB and they are interpreted to have grown in a fluid with a δ18O between −3.5 and +1.0‰ SMOW. At the shelf margin, blocky calcites (δ18O∼ - 13.5‰ PDB) could have precipitated from a fluid with a δ18O betweenn -4.0 and -1.1‰ SMOW. The highest oxygen isotopic compositions are comparable to those of Late Carboniferous marine fluids (δ18O= - 1‰ SMOW). The lowest values are more positive than a previously reported composition for Carboniferous meteoric waters (δ18O= -7‰ SMOW). Precipitation is likely to have occurred in marine-derived fluids, which mixed with meteoric waters sourced from near the Brabant Massif. Fluids with a similar negative oxygen isotopic composition and high salinity are actually present in Palaeozoic formations. The higher temperature range in the limestones near the shelf margin is explained by the upward migration of fluids from the ‘basinal’ area along fractures and faults into the shelf.  相似文献

ABSTRACT A comprehensive approach using palaeontology, petrography, stable isotope geochemistry and biomarker analyses was applied to the study of seven small methane‐seep carbonate deposits. These deposits are in the Oligocene part of the Lincoln Creek Formation, exposed along the Canyon and Satsop Rivers in western Washington. Each deposit preserves invertebrate fossils, many representing typical seep biota. Authigenic carbonates with δ13C values as low as ?51‰ PDB reveal that the carbon is predominately methane derived. Carbonates contain the irregular isoprenoid hydrocarbons 2,6,11,15‐tetramethylhexadecane (crocetane) and 2,6,10,15,19‐pentamethylicosane (PMI), lipid biomarkers diagnostic for archaea. These lipids are strongly depleted in 13C (δ13C values as low as ?120‰ PDB), indicating that archaea were involved in the anaerobic oxidation of methane. Small filaments preserved in the carbonate may represent methanotrophic archaea. Archaeal methanogenesis induced the formation of a late diagenetic phase, brownish calcite, consisting of dumbbell‐shaped crystal aggregates that exhibit δ13C values as high as +7‰ PDB. Clotted microfabrics of primary origin point to microbial mediation of carbonate precipitation. Downward‐directed carbonate aggregation in the seeps produced inverted stromatactoid cavities. Large filaments, interpreted as green algae based on their size, shape, arrangement and biomarkers, imply that deposition occurred, in places, in water no deeper than 210 m.  相似文献

The sediment-hosted huntite-magnesite deposits are located in the Egirdir-Hoyran lake basin in the Isparta Angle (southern Turkey). The deposits occur at two different localities in the region: (1) Kemersirti huntite deposit, (2) Köytepe huntite-magnesite deposit. The huntite-magnesite occurrences are found in shallow lacustrine rocks of the Miocene-Pliocene Kizilcik Formation and formed as a result of Neogene tectonic activity. Based on X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopic studies, the mineral assemblage of huntite deposits contains mostly huntite, less magnesite, dolomite, very little calcite, illite, simectite, brucite, and quartz in the Kemersirti area but contain huntite, magnesite, dolomite, and calcite in the Köytepe area.In the huntite and magnesite-bearing huntite samples, MgO varies from 32.70 to 37.95 wt. %, CaO from 7.83 to 15.10 w.t. %, and SiO2 from 0.99 to 10.60 w.t. %. Ba and Sr are dominant minor elements in the deposits. Ba and Sr for huntite and magnesite bearing huntite in the study area vary from 11 to 233 ppm and from 325 to 765 ppm, respectively. As, U, Zr, V and Ce contents ranged from 11.5-146 ppm, 0.5-3.7 ppm, 1.4-13.2 ppm, 7-34 ppm, and 0.9-2.7 ppm respectively. The huntite-magnesite is characterized by relatively lower Ni (0.5-2.4 ppm) and Co (0.5-1.1 ppm) contents. The huntite and magnesite-bearing huntite occurrences have higher Ba, Sr, As, Zr, V, and U contents than those of the other elements. The d13C isotope values vary between 7.8‰ to 8.8‰ PDB for huntite+magnesite, 8.2‰ PDB for huntite, 1.4‰ PDB for magnesite+dolomite, and 4.0‰ PDB for limestone from deposits in the study area. The δ18O isotope values of the huntite deposits ranged from 30.4 to 35.5‰ SMOW for huntite+magnesite, 32.4‰ SMOW for huntite, 29.8‰ SMOW for magnesite+ dolomite, and 26.9‰ SMOW for limestone.The presence of nodular huntite and the abundance of gastropod, ostracoda and Chura shells in the carbonate units indicate that the huntite occurrences are precipitated at shallow, alkaline (8.5-9.5 pH) and lower temperature (approximately 25°C) lake conditions. The Mg++, Ca++ and Si++ ions for the huntite formation were derived from the surrounding rocks such as ultrabasic rocks, dolomite, dolomitic limestone, and limestone in the Egirdir-Hoyran lake basin. Also, the C isotope ratios indicate that the CO2 source for the huntite formations results to sedimentary basin from metamorphic CO2, carbonate rocks, fresh water carbonates, and ground water. The source of oxygen for the huntite formation may come from marine limestone, fresh water carbonates and meteoric water.  相似文献

This paper describes and interprets the mineral and facies assemblages that occur in carbonate–evaporite shallow lacustrine deposits, considering the importance of the processes pathway (i.e. dolomitization, gypsum calcitization and silicification). The Palaeogene deposits of the Deza Formation (Almazán Basin, central‐northern Spain) are selected as a case study to determine the variety of physicochemical processes taking place in carbonate–evaporite shallow lakes and their resulting diagenetic features. Dolostones are the predominant lithology and are composed mainly of dolomite with variable amounts of secondary calcite (5 to 50%), which mainly mimic lenticular gypsum (pseudomorphs). Five morphological types of dolomite crystal were identified as follows: dolomite tubes, dolomite cylinders, rhombohedral dolomite, spheroidal and quasi‐rhombohedral dolomite, and cocoon‐shaped dolomite. The dolomite cylinders and tubes are interpreted as the dolomitized cells of a widespread microbial community. The sequence of diagenetic processes started with growth of microlenticular interstitial gypsum in a calcareous mud deposited on the playa margin mudflats, and that sometimes included microbial sediments. Immediately following growth of gypsum, dolomite replaced the original calcite (or possibly aragonite) muds, the microbial community and the gypsum. Partial or total replacement of gypsum by dolomite was related mainly to the biomineralization of endolithic microbial communities on gypsum crystals. Later calcitization took place under vadose, subaerial exposure conditions. The development of calcrete in distal alluvial settings favoured the release of silica and subsequent silicification on the playa margin mudflats. Stable isotope compositions of calcite range from ?9·02 to ?5·83‰ δ13CPDB and ?7·10 to 1·22‰ δ18OPDB; for the dolomite, these values vary from ?8·93 to ?3·96‰ δ13CPDB and ?5·53 to 2·4‰ δ18OPDB. Quartz from the cherts has δ18OSMOW values ranging from 27·1 to 31·1‰. Wide variation and relatively high δ18OSMOW values for dolomite indicate evaporitic and closed hydrological conditions; increased influx of meteoric waters reigned during the formation of secondary calcite spar.  相似文献

Three peritidal carbonate crusts and associated intercrust sediments (total thickness of ~30cm; aged <3000 years BP) on Ambergris Cay, Belize, contain 32–100% calcian dolomite (δx=72·5% dolomite) ranging in composition from 40 to 46 mol% MgCO3x=43·3). Dolomite replaced high Mg calcite foraminiferal muds penecontemporaneously with sedimentation, forming partially dolomitized sediments and lithified crusts. Dolomitization probably occurred in normal to moderately evaporated seawater and is apparently continuing at the present. Detailed scanning electron microscope analysis shows a linear increase in mean dolomite crystal size with depth; 0·4 μm near the top of the section to 1·0 μm near the base of the dolomitized section. This size increase is not accompanied by any significant decrease in porosity. Crystal size distributions appear to be log-normal and become increasingly broad and flat with depth. Rietveld X-ray pattern-fitting structure refinements indicate increasing Ca and Mg concentrations on their respective sites (cation ordering) as a function of increasing depth. Most of the ordering occurs within the first 15 cm of the surface. Stoichiometry does not increase with depth indicating no relationship between the Ca/Mg ratio and cation ordering. Strong geochemical trends were observed down-section in the dolomite, including: (1) increasing Mn content (44 to 274 ppm), and (2) decreasing δ13C values (?0·9 to ?5·5‰ PDB). Oxygen isotope values range from δ18O = 1·3‰ PDB in the upper part of the section to 2·6‰ PDB in the lower part of the section and are interpreted to represent two distinct groups of values rather than a continuous trend. Down-section dolomite crystal size increase and shapes of crystal size distributions are consistent with recrystallization via a surface energy-driven dissolution-reprecipitation process (Ostwald ripening). The observed trends in carbon isotopes and Mn content probably result from geochemical re-equilibration during recrystallization and reflect reducing conditions and an isotopically light, organically derived, carbon source. Oxygen isotope compositions probably reflect relict original dolomite values and are a result of decreasing evaporation due to rising sea level.  相似文献
