鄂尔多斯(地块)盆地南缘唐王陵砾岩的沉积时代长期存在晚前寒武纪(或震旦纪)与奥陶纪之争,沉积环境和物源组成也存在不同认识,是盆地南缘海相沉积地层及构造古地理研究关注的热点争议问题。本文采用碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学和岩石地球化学研究方法,综合分析探讨了唐王陵砾岩的沉积时代、物源组成及其构造古地理环境。结果表明:唐王陵砾岩自下而上三个组段的砂岩夹层样品、共计396颗碎屑锆石U-Pb谐和年龄数据主要分布在2531～2364Ma(n=25)、2120～1618Ma(n=268)、1230～940Ma(n=29)和905～744Ma(n=10)等四个年龄区间,相应的峰值年龄分别为2440Ma、1800Ma、1090Ma和810Ma,各组段样品单颗粒锆石最小年龄为829±11Ma、820±17Ma和744±8Ma。这一测年结果与盆地西南缘的震旦系正目观组和罗圈组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄分布基本相似,但明显缺少其近邻剖面奥陶系平凉组碎屑锆石接近454Ma的高频年龄组分,表明唐王陵砾岩的沉积时代更接近新元古代晚期或震旦纪。碎屑锆石年龄谱物源示踪与岩石地球化学、沉积建造特征等综合分析结果揭示,唐王陵砾岩沉积具有来自(华北)鄂尔多斯陆块与祁连-北秦岭(杂岩)地体的双向混合物源特征,总体属于含有多套滑塌和水下扇堆积的滨浅海相碳酸盐岩和碎屑岩沉积建造组合体,主体形成于鄂尔多斯地块南缘新元古代晚期的被动大陆边缘伸展断陷海盆环境。唐王陵砾岩碎屑锆石测年数据接近1. 09Ga和0. 81Ga的年轻峰值年龄组分,提供并支持祁连-北秦岭地区存在格林威尔期Rodinia大陆聚合-裂解相关的构造岩浆活动事件,指示(华北)鄂尔多斯陆块与北秦岭地体至少在唐王陵砾岩沉积之前的格林威尔期曾经历过拼贴聚合-陆缘增生作用;随后受Rodinia大陆裂解事件的影响,鄂尔多斯地块南缘拼贴增生型大陆边缘发育形成了包括唐王陵砾岩在内的新元古代晚期陆缘滨浅海滑塌-碎屑流沉积。 相似文献

西秦岭北缘潭县地区分布的中—新生代红层地层格架和时代一直存在争议。该地区红层地层格架的正确厘定对于重建西秦岭北缘中—新生代构造地貌演化过程和认识印度-欧亚板块汇聚碰撞过程在青藏高原东北缘的远程地质响应具有重要的科学意义。通过对红层地层与下伏老地层以及不同红层地层之间的角度不整合、红层沉积序列及岩石学特征和红层地层与西秦岭北缘断层之间关系的研究,结合孢粉分析资料,重新厘定了西秦岭北缘漳县地区的红层沉积地层地质格架。研究表明,西秦岭漳县地区分布的中—新生代红层地层自下而上可分为三套地层系统,即①下白垩统紫红色砂岩、砾岩。②中新统红色砾岩、砂岩、黏土岩和深紫色-灰色泥岩、灰色泥灰岩、蒸发岩系。③上新统河流相砾岩层(韩家沟砾岩)和F1断层以北的红色洪积砾岩层。三套红层地层之间都为角度不整合面分割,相对地质关系清晰,沉积岩石特征差异明显,尽管由于断层的破坏,但没有影响到整体地层格架。三套红层地层系统反映了西秦岭北缘中—新生代不同阶段的沉积构造环境和古地貌演化过程,为研究西秦岭中—新生代陆内构造过程和青藏高原隆升、构造变形向东北缘的扩展远程效应等科学问题提供了基本的地质约束。 相似文献

塔里木盆地古生代重要演化阶段的古构造格局与古地理演化 总被引：14，自引：4，他引：10
塔里木盆地在古生代经历了中-晚奥陶世、晚奥陶世末、中泥盆世末等多个重要的盆地变革期,形成了多个重要的不整合,盆地构造古地理发生了重要的变化。中、晚奥陶世盆地的变革形成了由巴楚古斜坡-塔中隆起-和田河隆起构成的大型古隆起带、相对沉降的北部坳陷带以及由于挤压挠曲沉降形成的塘古孜巴斯坳陷带。中部古隆起带制约着晚奥陶世东窄西宽的弧立碳酸盐岩台地体系的发育,而开始形成于震旦纪的满加尔拗拉槽及东南侧的塘古孜巴斯坳陷接受了巨厚的中、晚奥陶世重力流沉积。奥陶纪末的盆地变革形成了北东东向展布的西南-东南缘和西北缘的强烈隆起带,总体的古构造地貌控制着早志留世北东东向展布的滨浅海陆源碎屑盆地的沉积格局。中泥盆纪世末期的盆地强烈隆升并遭受了夷平化的剥蚀作用,形成了大范围分布的角度不整合面,并以塔北隆起和塔东隆起的强烈抬升为显著特征。盆地古构造地貌从东低西高转为东高、西低,制约着晚泥盆和早石炭世由东向西南方向从滨岸到浅海的古地理分布。中、晚奥陶世主要不整合及其剥蚀量的分布反映出北昆仑向北碰撞和挤入是造成盆地南缘、东南缘及盆内隆起的主要原因。南天山洋的俯冲、碰撞在奥陶世末至早志留世已对盆地西北缘产生影响,导致塔北英买力隆起的抬升和遭受剥蚀。 相似文献

唐王陵昭陵组砾岩碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学分析 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
唐王陵砾岩的时代归属及其沉积物源环境一直是鄂尔多斯盆地南缘新元古界-下古生界沉积地层学研究和油气地质勘探备受关注且长期存有争议的问题。采用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学方法,定量分析探讨了唐王陵昭陵组砾岩的时代归属和物质来源。结果表明:昭陵组砾岩的碎屑锆石U-Pb测年数据主要分布在744~943 Ma(n=6)、1 005~1 412 Ma (n=15)、1 449~2 209 Ma(n=255)和2 274~2 696 Ma (n=49)四个年龄区间,相应的峰值年龄集中在815 Ma、1 182 Ma、1 811 Ma、2 454 Ma,最年轻的单颗粒锆石年龄为744 Ma。它与盆地西缘贺兰山地区震旦纪正目观组的碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱非常相似,但明显有别于盆地南缘晚奥陶世平凉组,尤其是缺少平凉组碎屑锆石主要集中在454 Ma的峰值年龄,由此限定昭陵组砾岩的沉积时代主要发生在晚前寒武纪或震旦纪。锆石U-Pb年龄谱的区域对比揭示,昭陵组砾岩的沉积物源主要来自于华北(鄂尔多斯)地块的古元古代变质基底岩系和其南缘北秦岭构造带的晚前寒武纪岩浆岩-变质杂岩,呈现稳定地块与活动带双向混合物源特征。 相似文献

从含油气盆地沉积-构造演化的视角和盆地性质转变的动态观出发，把中国西部的油气盆地划分为4种类型，塔里木、四川和鄂尔多斯3个古生代海相盆地具有相似的地质演化和生储体系。泛大陆解体后，震旦纪-早中奥陶世为被动大陆边缘，中晚奥陶世至志留纪为夭折前陆盆地，代表三大陆块与周边洋盆的盆山转换。构造演化在克拉通上的地质响应表现在3个方面：一是沉积了2套烃源岩，即大陆边缘和“夭折”的前陆盆地阶段的沉积物；二是形成古隆起、古暴露和古岩溶，并在克拉通上有4个盆山转换面；三是晚古生代海侵盆地阶梯式地上超在早古生代海退盆地序列之上，导致下生上储和封隔盖层。 相似文献

准南前陆盆地燕山期构造活动及其成藏意义 总被引：8，自引：1，他引：7
准南前陆盆地燕山期盆地格局的演变、沉积中心有规律的迁移、沉积特征(与构造活动相关的砾岩及其分布)显示晚侏罗世—早白垩世早期、晚白垩世是准南前陆盆地燕山期构造活动相对活跃的时期。晚侏罗世—早白垩世早期的喀拉扎砾岩、白垩系清水河组底砾岩为一套形成于邻近高地附近的剥蚀产物或冲积产物,其分布特征及成因是晚侏罗世—早白垩世早期局部挤压和构造隆升较为活跃的产物,也是盆地边界萎缩、盆山格局发生变化的重要证据,同时天山明显隆升并导致天山南北早白垩世沉积环境的巨大差异。准南前陆盆地烃源岩大量生排烃、圈闭形成、油气运聚成藏与燕山期构造活动关系密切;燕山期发育的储层是准南前陆盆地的主要油气储层,晚侏罗世—早白垩世早期砂砾岩和不整合分布也在一定程度上控制了油气分布,是今后寻找有利隐蔽油气藏、岩性地层油气藏的重要目标之一;燕山期古构造及其形成时间与油气成藏期的良好匹配决定其油气成藏的有效性。 相似文献

西秦岭北缘断裂带新生代以来挤压逆冲变形起始于何时?挤压逆冲变形之前是否经历过伸展拉张过程?北缘断裂带北侧的新生代红层盆地到底是类前陆压陷挠曲盆地还是拉张断陷盆地?上述问题对西秦岭新生代盆-山构造格局重建和印度-欧亚板块碰撞汇聚的远程构造响应的时间与方式等科学问题的认识具有重要的地质约束。本文通过对西秦岭北缘构造带内漳县渐新世—中新世含盐红层盆地沉积序列和沉积旋回特征以及盆地边界断裂之间的几何学-运动学关系分析,认为西秦岭北缘构造带内漳县含盐红层盆地具有拉张伸展动力学背景下形成的断陷盆地的地质特征。西秦岭北缘构造带内渐新世—中新世断陷盆地的确定,指示了印度板块与欧亚板块碰撞汇聚而导致的青藏高原构造挤压缩短作用至少在盆地沉积充填阶段尚未扩展到西秦岭北缘及以北地区。而漳县含盐红层盆地沉积地层褶皱缩短变形以及之后角度不整合在漳县含盐红层盆地之的上新统韩家沟粗砾岩,可能记录了西秦岭北缘由伸展边界向挤压缩短逆冲边界的转换过程。因此,青藏高原东北缘真正成为青藏高原体系组成部分是在上新世的漳县含盐红层盆地封闭-构造反转之后。这一认识对地学界长期以来认为印度板块与欧亚板块碰撞汇聚而导致的高原隆升和构造挤压早在渐新世就已经波及西秦岭北缘的观点提出了挑战。 相似文献

鄂尔多斯盆地西、南缘奥陶纪地质事件群耦合作用 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
北祁连造山带和北秦岭造山带在早古生代经历了相似的洋陆转化过程,于奥陶纪时发育了汇聚板块边缘的沟-弧-盆体系,分别形成了北西向展布的北祁连造山带走廊南山北缘早古生代岛弧及弧后盆地和东西向展布的北秦岭造山带早古生代岛弧及弧后盆地。期间,秦岭-祁连洋的俯冲造山作用和鄂尔多斯盆地西南缘沉积类型和内陆湖盆的发展演化之间存在有机的联系,构成了盆-山耦合体系,引发一系列构造事件、火山喷发事件和多种类型的事件沉积等。它们之间存在着一系列成因机制上的联系,有着共同的宏观背景。鄂尔多斯盆地西、南缘在几乎相同时期存在一次构造背景的转变,由被动大陆边缘转化为主动大陆边缘,并诱发了多期火山喷发事件,在盆地西南缘奥陶系形成多套斑脱岩夹层,这些斑脱岩可能为同时期或者稍后的钾盐矿(包括含钾卤水)的形成提供了重要物源。同时,鄂尔多斯盆地南缘由浅水碳酸盐台地陷落为深水斜坡,在盆地西、南缘奥陶系有规律的集中发育重力流沉积(海底扇、浊积岩等)、滑塌沉积和震积岩等事件沉积。从形成机制上,华南板块向北俯冲触发了火山活动和地震,火山喷发在奥陶系集中沉积了多套凝灰岩夹层,地震活动导致同时期大套重力流沉积,并触发相对深水区沉积物向深水区移动,使得重力流沉积转化为浊流沉积,形成了具有良好储层的浊积岩。统计表明,上述事件发育的时间与秦岭地区构造活动相对最活跃的时期基本一致。因此这些分布稳定的凝灰岩薄层和中奥陶世集中有规律分布的重力流沉积砂体为华南板块向华北本快俯冲背景下形成的,它们之间存在耦合关系。 相似文献

The Late Permian–early Middle Triassic strata of the northern West Qinling area, northeastern Tibetan Plateau, are composed of sediment gravity flow deposits. Detailed sedimentary facies analysis indicates these strata were deposited in three successive deep-marine environments. The Late Permian–early Early Triassic strata of the Maomaolong Formation and the lowest part of the Longwuhe Formation define a NW–SE trending proximal slope environment. Facies of the Early Triassic strata composing the middle and upper Longwuhe Formation are consistent with deposition in a base-of-slope apron environment, whereas facies of the Middle Triassic Anisian age Gulangdi Formation are more closely associated with a base-of-slope fan depositional environment. The lithofacies and the spatial–temporal changes in paleocurrent data from these strata suggest the opening of a continental margin back-arc basin system during Late Permian to early Middle Triassic time in the northern West Qinling. U–Pb zircon ages for geochemically varied igneous rocks with diabasic through granitic compositions intruded into these deep-marine strata range from 250 to 234 Ma. These observations are consistent with extensional back-arc basin development and rifting between the Permian–Triassic Eastern Kunlun arc and North China block during the continent–continent collision and underthrusting of the South China block northward beneath the Qinling terrane of the North China block. Deep-marine sedimentation ended in the northern West Qinling by the Middle Triassic Ladinian age, but started in the southern West Qinling and Songpan-Ganzi to the south. We attribute these observations to southward directed rollback of Paleo-Tethys oceanic lithosphere, continued attenuation of the West Qinling on the upper plate, local post-rift isostatic compensation in the northern West Qinling area, and continued opening of a back-arc basin in the southern West Qinling and Songpan-Ganzi. Rollback and back-arc basin development during Late Permian to early Middle Triassic time in the West Qinling area explains: the truncated map pattern of the Eastern Kunlun arc, the age difference of deep-marine sediment gravity flow deposits between the Late Permian–early Middle Triassic northern West Qinling and the late Middle Triassic–Late Triassic southern West Qinling and Songpan-Ganzi, and the discontinuous trace of ophiolitic rocks associated with the Anyemaqen-Kunlun suture. 相似文献

The Proto-Tethys was a significant post-Rodinia breakup ocean that eventually vanished during the Paleozoic. The closure timing and amalgamation history of numerous microblocks within this ocean remain uncertain, while the Early Paleozoic strata on the northern margin of the Yangtze Block archive valuable information about the evolution of the Shangdan Ocean, the branch of the Proto-Tethys. By comparing the detrital zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopic data from Cambrian, Ordovician, and Silurian sedimentary rocks in the northern Yangtze Block with adjacent blocks, it was found that detrital zircons in Cambrian strata exhibit a prominent age peak at ∼ 900–700 Ma, which indicates that the primary source of clastic material in the basin was the uplifted inner and margin regions of the Yangtze Block. In the Silurian, abundant detrital material from the North Qinling Block was transported to the basin due to the continuous subduction and eventual closure of the Shangdan Ocean. This process led to two distinct age peaks at ∼500–400 Ma and ∼900–700 Ma, indicating a bidirectional provenance contribution from both the North Qinling Block and the Yangtze Block. This shift demonstrates that the initial collision between these two blocks occurred no later than the Silurian. The northern Yangtze Basin transitioned from a passive continental margin basin in the Cambrian to a peripheral foreland basin in the Silurian. Major blocks in East Asia, including South Tarim, North Qilian, North Qinling, and North Yangtze, underwent peripheral subduction and magmatic activity to varying degrees during the late Early Paleozoic, signifying the convergence and rapid contraction of microplates within northern Gondwana and the Proto-Tethys Ocean. These findings provide new insights on the tectonic evolution of the Proto-Tethys Ocean. 相似文献

通过对柴北缘地区的野外地质调查及室内实验分析,根据地质剖面中发育的岩石组合类型、沉积构造等特征,对研究区早奥陶世台地斜坡盆地相沉积体系进行了详细研究。认为研究区早古生代持续的海平面上升、柴北缘洋陆俯冲及陆弧碰撞是控制该时期盆山格局及沉积充填演化的重要因素。柴北缘早奥陶世台地边缘颗粒滩相发育在多泉山组中下部,岩性以生物碎屑灰岩、鲕粒灰岩以及泥晶灰岩为特征。而研究区斜坡相深水物质主要是由重力流搬运的碳酸盐岩再沉积物组成,共识别出包括细粒沉降微晶泥、滑塌角砾岩、颗粒流、瘤状灰岩、碎屑流以及浊积岩等不同类型的斜坡异地沉积物。研究区盆地相处于碳酸盐岩沉积体系岛弧碎屑岩沉积体系两大沉积体系的转换位置。受到柴北缘洋陆俯冲及陆弧碰撞等影响,隆升的陆壳基底及大陆岛弧物质向盆地提供大量碎屑物质,因此在靠近岛弧边缘地区发育了砂质碎屑流、浊流等重力流沉积体系下的弧后盆地沉积产物。 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe Ordos Basin has experienced a complicated tectonic evolution since the Palaeozoic. Its multi-stage evolution was closely related to the tectonic events that occurred along plate boundaries. The detrital zircon ages and crystallization age (CA)-deposition age (DA)/cumulative proportion curves obtained from Palaeozoic-Mesozoic strata from different tectonic units in and around the western Ordos Basin demonstrate that during the early Palaeozoic, the so-called Helan Aulacogen did not develop along the western Ordos Basin, the Alxa Block was an independent unit from the North China Craton, and the southern Ordos Basin was a foreland basin of the North Qinling Orogenic Belt. During the early Palaeozoic, the western Ordos Basin and its vicinity belonged to three different tectonic units (i.e. the North China Craton, the Alxa Block, and the North Qilian Orogenic Belt). At the end of the early Palaeozoic, the Alxa Block amalgamated with the Ordos Basin. From the Silurian to the Middle Devonian, the southern Alxa Block was a foreland basin of the North Qilian Orogenic Belt and underwent regional extension during the Late Devonian. During the late Palaeozoic, the western Ordos Basin and its vicinities were located in a back-arc extensional setting of the western Qinling Orogenic Belt. The southern part of the western Ordos Basin may have been a retro-arc foreland basin of the western Qinling Orogenic Belt during the Late Triassic, and the northern part of the western Ordos Basin experienced large-scale left-lateral strike-slip at the same time. The CA-DA/cumulative proportion curves can adequately explain the evolution of the western Ordos Basin during the Palaeozoic; however, the settings indicated by the CA-DA/cumulative proportion curves in intraplate evolutions are different from those proposed in other studies, which may be due to the number and distribution of samples and rapid lateral changes in sedimentary facies. 相似文献

The northern Yangtze foreland basin system was formed during the Mesozoic continental collision between the North and South China plates along the Mianlue suture. In response to the later phase of intra-continental thrust deformation, an extensive E–W-trending molasse basin with river, deltaic, and lake deposits was produced in front of the southern Qinling–Dabieshan foreland fold-and-thrust belt during the Early–Middle Jurassic (201–163 Ma). The basin originated during the Early Jurassic (201–174 Ma) and substantially subsided during the Middle Jurassic (174–163 Ma). A gravelly alluvial fan depositional system developed in the lower part of the Baitianba Formation (Lower Jurassic) and progressively evolved into a meandering river fluvial plain and lake systems to the south. The alluvial fan conglomerates responded to the initial uplift of the southern Qinling–Dabieshan foreland fold-and-thrust belt after the oblique collision between the Yangtze and North China plates during the Late Triassic. The Qianfoya Formation (lower Middle Jurassic) mainly developed from shore-shallow lacustrine depositional systems. The Shaximiao Formation (upper Middle Jurassic) predominantly consists of thick-bedded braided river delta successions that serve as the main body of the basin-filling sequences. The upward-coarsening succession of the Shaximiao Formation was controlled by intense thrusting in the southern Qinling–Dabieshan fold-and-thrust belt. Palaeogeographic reconstructions indicated an extensive E–W foredeep depozone along the fold-and-thrust belt during the Middle Jurassic (174–163 Ma) that was nearly 150 km wide. The depozone extended westward to the Longmenshan and further east to the northern middle Yangtze plate. The northern Yangtze foreland basin was almost completely buried or modified by the subsequent differential thrusting of Dabashan and its eastern regions (Late Jurassic to Cenozoic). 相似文献
