The Middle to Upper Triassic redbeds at the base of the Ghomaride and Internal ‘Dorsale Calcaire’ Nappes in the Rifian sector of the Maghrebian Chain have been studied for their sedimentological, petrographic, mineralogical and chemical features. Redbeds lie unconformably on a Variscan low‐grade metamorphic basement in a 300 m thick, upward fining and thinning megasequence. Successions are composed of predominantly fluvial red sandstones, with many intercalations of quartzose conglomerates in the lower part that pass upwards into fine‐grained micaceous siltstones and massive mudstones, with some carbonate and evaporite beds. This suite of sediments suggests that palaeoenvironments evolved from mostly arenaceous alluvial systems (Middle Triassic) to muddy flood and coastal plain deposits. The successions are characterized by local carbonate and evaporite episodes in the Late Triassic. The growth of carbonate platforms is related to the increasing subsidence (Norian‐Rhaetian) during the break‐up of Pangea and the earliest stages of the Western Tethys opening. Carbonate platforms became widespread in the Sinemurian. Sandstones are quartzose to quartzolithic in composition, testifying a recycled orogenic provenance from low‐grade Palaeozoic metasedimentary rocks. Palaeoweathering indices (Chemical Index of Alteration, Chemical Index of Weathering and Plagioclase Index of Alteration) suggest both a K‐enrichment during the burial history and a source area that experienced intense weathering and recycling processes. These processes were favoured by seasonal climatic alternations, characterized by hot, episodically humid conditions with a prolonged dry season. These climatic alternations produced illitization of silicate minerals, iron oxidation and quartz‐rich red sediments in alluvial systems. The estimated burial temperature for the continental redbeds is in the range of 100 to 160 °C with lithostatic/tectonic loading of ca 4 to 6 km. These redbeds can be considered as regional petrofacies that mark the onset of the continental rift valley stage in the Western Pangea (Middle Triassic) before the opening of the western part of Tethys in the Middle Jurassic. The studied redbeds and the coeval redbeds of many Alpine successions (Betic, Tellian and Apenninic orogens) show a quite similar history; they identify a Mesomediterranean continental block originating from the break‐up of Pangea, which then played an important role in the post‐Triassic evolution of the Western Mediterranean region. 相似文献

A detailed mineralogical study is presented of the matrix of mudrocks sampled from spot coring at three key locations along
the San Andreas Fault Observatory at depth (SAFOD) drill hole. The characteristics of authigenic illite–smectite (I–S) and
chlorite–smectite (C–S) mixed-layer mineral clays indicate a deep diagenetic origin. A randomly ordered I–S mineral with ca.
20–25% smectite layers is one of the dominant authigenic clay species across the San Andreas Fault zone (sampled at 3,066
and 3,436 m measured depths/MD), whereas an authigenic illite with ca. 2–5% smectite layers is the dominant phase beneath
the fault (sampled at 3,992 m MD). The most smectite-rich mixed-layered assemblage with the highest water content occurs in
the actively deforming creep zone at ca. 3,300–3,353 m (true vertical depth of ca. 2.7 km), with I–S (70:30) and C–S (50:50).
The matrix of all mudrock samples show extensive quartz and feldspar (both plagioclase and K-feldspar) dissolution associated
with the crystallization of pore-filling clay minerals. However, the effect of rock deformation in the matrix appears only
minor, with weak flattening fabrics defined largely by kinked and fractured mica grains. Adopting available kinetic models
for the crystallization of I–S in burial sedimentary environments and the current borehole depths and thermal structure, the
conditions and timing of I–S growth can be evaluated. Assuming a typical K+ concentration of 100–200 ppm for sedimentary brines, a present-day geothermal gradient of 35°C/km and a borehole temperature
of ca. 112°C for the sampled depths, most of the I–S minerals can be predicted to have formed over the last 4–11 Ma and are
probably still in equilibrium with circulating fluids. The exception to this simple burial pattern is the occurrence of the
mixed layered phases with higher smectite content than predicted by the burial model. These minerals, which characterize the
actively creeping section of the fault and local thin film clay coating on polished brittle slip surfaces, can be explained
by the influence of either cooler fluids circulating along this segment of the fault or the flow of K+-depleted brines. 相似文献

In the Alpine-Mediterranean region, the continental redbeds and shallow-marine siliciclastics related to the early depositional
phases of the Late Permian-Mesozoic continental rifting are referred to as the most common representative of the “Verrucano
tectofacies”. The Verrucano-type successions exposed in southern Tuscany are diachronous, spanning from Triassic to earliest
Jurassic in age, and accumulated within the Tuscan domain, a paleogeographic region of continental crust that due to the opening
of the Piedmont–Ligurian ocean formed part of the Adria passive-margin. They belong to the metamorphic Verrucano Group and
the non-metamorphic Pseudoverrucano fm. Viewed overall, these Verrucano-type successions appear to manifest five episodes
or pulses of an ongoing continental rifting. With the exception of the first episode that developed entirely within a terrestrial
setting, each one is represented by basal Verrucano-type continental siliciclastics overlain by compositionally mixed marine
deposits, which resulted from four diachronous, post-Middle Triassic transgressions. This suite of tectonic pulses produced
the progressive westward widening (backstepping) of the Tuscan domain in the rifting south-Tuscany area. 相似文献

This study investigates the isotopic composition (C, O, S and Sr) of carbonates, sulphates and sulphide cements in the rock
matrix and fracture fillings in geological formations of the Southeast basin of France, using core samples collected during
the Deep Geology of France programme (GPF Ardèche theme). The Southeast basin belongs to the Alpine Tethyan margin. It is
one of the thickest sedimentary basins in Europe, reaching upwards of 9 km in certain locations. The main fluid transfer from
the basin is related to the large Pb–Zn Mississippi Valley-type district along the southern margin of the Massif Central block.
A synthesis of the tectonic, mineralogical and petrographic investigations on the GPF boreholes shows that a major fluid circulation
event occurred across the Alpine margin of Tethys during the Early Jurassic (Hettangian–Bathonian). It produced a general
cementation of the rock porosity through precipitation of dolomite, sulphate and barite. Fracture fillings yield isotopic
signatures distinct from the matrix cements. Matrix cements have particular characteristics, i.e. δ34S and δ13C that agree with a marine origin. The δ34S values of Permo-Carboniferous to Triassic sulphides from fracture cements are interpreted as resulting from the thermo-chemical
reduction of sulphates. Fracture sulphates in the same geological formations yield δ34S values that define a relatively homogeneous end-member, whose composition is similar to sulphates in the Largentière Pb–Zn
ore deposit. The source of S is attributed to the Permo-Carboniferous succession. The borehole fracture fillings are attributed
to a major fluid circulation stage compatible with the Early Jurassic stage identified from the geological investigation of
the boreholes. The formation of the Largentière deposit is considered as resulting from the mixing of this Early Jurassic
fluid with continental hydrothermal fluids circulating in a basement horst, along its margin with the sedimentary basin. Other
Pb–Zn deposits may also be related to fluid migration along the basement/sedimentary cover interface in the eastern and western
parts of the Massif Central. This regional fluid circulation event may represent a geodynamic marker of the Jurassic extensional
phase. 相似文献

I˙stanbul, the capital of the east Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires embraces two continents, one arm reaching out to
Asia, the other to Europe. It is therefore, a rich city in terms of monuments and historical cites. Shell limestones of Upper
Miocene age are used as building stone in the majority of the monuments in I˙stanbul because of their attractiveness, availability
and workability. The durability characteristics of the limestones are examined, and those factors that are responsible for
atmospheric weathering are discussed, in a humid and marine environment with important problems of urban pollution, specifically
due to traffic. In the present study weathering of the building stones were first examined in situ by macroscopic observations.
The weathering that developed as a result of environmental effects since this limestone was first used in historical monuments
has been affected 0.1–1.5 cm deep from the surface. The weathered facing stone of Şehzade Mehmed Mosque in I˙stanbul is undergoing
a program of progressive replacement. During this study, samples were taken from this monument where the shell limestone was
used. The stone surface was principally examined by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Petrographical and mineralogical
analyses were made by using optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction method. The physico-chemical properties of these rocks
control their weathering behaviour and reactivity. Major and trace element analyses and the effect of deterioration on the
physical properties of the limestones (unit weight, porosity and water absorption) have also been investigated. Studies on
the samples implies that weathering on the stone surface caused important variations on the physical characteristics of the
rock.

The influence of tectonic strain on the diagenetic degree and illitization process of mixed-layers illite–smectite at shallow
crustal conditions was studied. For this purpose, the modal composition of clay fraction and illite FWHM parameters of argillites
deformed by a regional-scale fault zone were studied in detail by XRD, chemical analyses and by SEM observations. Analyses
were performed on deformed samples of the fault rock and compared with the non-deformed rocks off the fault zone. In addition,
this paper reports a detailed comparative analysis of deformed (shear surfaces and cleavage domains) and non-deformed domains
(lithon cores) of a scaly fabric in the fault rock. A systematic increase in illite concentration, a decrease of Kübler index
and FWHM(002) values, and an enrichment of K+ ions were observed in cleavage domains with respect to the non-deformed sediments off the fault zone and the lithon cores
within the fault rock. Migration of K+-rich fluids along scaly cleavage domains causes progressive conversion of smectite-rich I–S to illite-rich I–S and thickening
of illite crystallites along the c-direction. Changes in mineralogical and crystallographic parameters, therefore, seem to
be strongly controlled by shear plane development in highly sheared rocks. 相似文献

Episodic and localized illite mineralization is documented in the hydrothermally altered Soultz-sous-Forêts granite (Upper Rhine Graben, France). Separated grain-size fractions of altered granite and argillite vein samples contain mixtures of 2M1 and 1M trans-vacant illite varieties. The platy pseudohexagonal 2M1 illite phases dominate the vein fillings, whereas the 1M illite occurs largely as a fibrous pore-filling variety, which is particularly abundant in the granite matrix. Multiple phases of fluid injections into the granite body have resulted in different illite assemblages, each sample containing a mixture of polytype generations formed during different crystal growth events. On the basis of mineralogical and K–Ar isotopic constraints, the ages of these vein-mineralizing events are determined by plotting the K–Ar values of the various grain-size fractions against polytype abundance and the fitted volume-weighted crystallite thickness distributions. The results suggest a Permian age for the formation of the studied argillite veins, characterized by successive injections of hydrothermal fluids. Secondary episodes of illite crystallization occurred during Jurassic and Cretaceous (or even younger times) in both the veins and the granite matrix. There are indications that the polytype structure and composition of illite were strongly influenced by variations in fluid chemistry and the degree of fluid–rock interaction as the granite was progressively sealed during post-Variscan, episodic hydrothermal activity. 相似文献

Fine-grained clayey subfractions (SF) with particle sizes of 1–2, 0.6–1.0, 0.3–0.6, 0.2–0.3, 0.1–0.2, and <0.1 μm were extracted
from shales of the Vendian Staraya Rechka Formation in the Anabar Massif and studied by XRD and Rb-Sr methods. All the clayey
subfractions are represented by illite with high crystallinity indices, which are characteristic of the low-temperature diagenesis/catagenesis
zone and grow with the decrease of the particle size. The Rb-Sr systematics in clayey subfractions combined with mineralogical
data provide grounds for the conclusion that illite from clayey rocks of the Staraya Rechka Formation was forming during two
periods: approximately 560 and 391–413 Ma ago. The first illite generation was likely formed in the course of lithostatic
subsidence of the Staraya Rechka sediments and the second one, during the Devonian lithogenesis stage. It is assumed that
age of the first generation (∼560 Ma) is close to that of the Staraya Rechka Formation. This inference is consistent with
biostratigraphic, chemostratigraphic, and geochronological data obtained for both rocks of the Anabar Massif and Vendian sediments
from other regions of Siberia. 相似文献

The Wittichen Co–Ag–Bi–U mining area (Schwarzwald ore district, SW Germany) hosts several unconformity-related vein-type mineralizations
within Variscan leucogranite and Permian to Triassic redbeds. The multistage mineralization formed at the intersection of
two fault systems in the last 250 Ma. A Permo-Triassic ore stage I with minor U–Bi–quartz–fluorite mineralization is followed
by a Jurassic to Cretaceous ore stage II with the main Ag and Co mineralization consisting of several generations of gangue
minerals that host the sub-stages of U–Bi, Bi–Ag, Ni–As–Bi and Co–As–Bi. Important ore minerals are native elements, Co and
Ni arsenides, and pitchblende; sulphides are absent. The Miocene ore stage III comprises barite with the Cu–Bi sulfosalts
emplectite, wittichenite and aikinite, and the sulphides anilite and djurleite besides native Bi, chalcopyrite, sphalerite,
galena and tennantite. The mineral-forming fluid system changed from low salinity (<5 wt.% NaCl) at high temperature (around
300°C) in Permian to highly saline (around 25 wt.% NaCl + CaCl2) at lower temperatures (50–150°C) in Triassic to Cretaceous times. Thermodynamic calculations and comparison with similar
mineralizations worldwide show that the Mesozoic ore-forming fluid was alkaline with redox conditions above the hematite–magnetite
buffer. We suggest that the precipitation mechanism for native elements, pitchblende and arsenides is a decrease in pH during
fluid mixing processes. REE patterns in fluorite and the occurrence of Bi in all stages suggest a granitic source of some
ore-forming elements, whereas, e.g. Ag, Co and Ni probably have been leached from the redbeds. The greater importance of Cu
and isotope data indicates that the Miocene ore stage III is more influenced by fluids from the overlying redbeds and limestones
than the earlier mineralization stages. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe distinct basin and range tectonics in Southeast China were generated by crustal extension associated with subduction of the Palaeo-Pacific plate during the late Mesozoic. Compared with adjacent granitoids of the ranges, the redbeds of the basins have not been well characterized. In this article, provenance, source weathering, and tectonic setting of the redbeds are investigated by petrographic and geochemical studies of sandstones from the Late Cretaceous Guifeng Group in the Yongchong Basin, Southeast China. Detrital grains are subangular to subrounded, poorly sorted, and rich in lithic fragments. Variable Chemical Index of Alternation values (59.55–79.82, avg. 66.79) and high Index of Compositional Variability (ICV) values (0.67–3.08, avg. 1.40) indicate an overall low degree of chemical weathering and rapid physical erosion of source rocks. Such features are consistent with an active extension tectonic setting. Other chemical indices (e.g. Al2O3/TiO2, Th/U, Cr/Th, Th/Sc, Zr/Sc) also suggest significant first-cycle sediment input to the basin and a dominant felsic source nature. Thus, the Guifeng Group possibly underwent moderate to low degrees of weathering upwards. Sandstone framework models and geochemical characteristics suggest the provenance was likely a combination of passive margin (PM) and active continental margin (ACM) with minor continental island arc (CIA) tectonic settings. Sediment derivation from Neoproterozoic metamorphic rocks and Cambrian to Triassic granitoids indicates PM provenance, whereas sediments derived from Jurassic to Cretaceous granitoids suggest ACM and CIA nature. Therefore, the Late Cretaceous redbeds were deposited in a dustpan-like half-graben basin under the back-arc extension regime when Southeast China was possibly influenced by northwestward subduction of the Palaeo-Pacific plate beneath East Asia. 相似文献

With the analysis of the sources and formation mechanism of the clay minerals in the sediment core from the Dalianhai lake in the Gonghe Basin,northeastern Tibet-Qinghai Plateau,clay mineral composition proxies,grain-size and carbonate contents have been employed for high-resolution study in order to reconstruct East Asian Summer Monsoon （EASM） over the northeastern Tibet-Qinghai Plateau during the lastdeglacial.The study also extended to establish a relationship between vegetation cover changes and erosion during the last 14.5 ka with pollen record and clay mineral proxies.Smectite/kaolinite and smectite/（illite＋chlorite） ratios allow us to assess hydrolysis conditions in lowlands and/or physical erosion process in highlands of the Gonghe Basin.Before 12.9 Cal ka BP,both mineralogical ratios show low values indicative of strong physical erosion in the basin with a dominant cold and dry phase.After 12.9 Cal ka BP,an increase in both mineralogical ratios indicates enhanced chemical weathering in the basin associated with a warm and humid climate.The beginning of Holocene is characterized by high smectite/（illite＋chlorite） and smectite/kaolinite ratios that is synchronous as with deposition of many peat laminae,implying the best warm and humid conditions specifically between 8.0 to 5.5 Cal ka BP.The time interval after 5.0 Cai ka BP is characterized by a return to high physical erosion and low chemical weathering with dry climate conditions in the basin.Comparing variations of clay mineral assemblages with previous pollen results,we observe a rapid response in terms of chemical weathering and physical erosion intensity to a modification of the vegetation cover in the basin. 相似文献

The chemical and mineralogical composition of the Sidi Aïch Formation sandstones in central and southwestern Tunisia has been investigated in order to infer the provenance and tectonic setting, as well as to appraise the influence of weathering. The sixteen studied samples are mainly composed of quartz, feldspar, kaolinite and/or illite. Sidi Aïch sandstones are mainly arkosic, potassic feldspar-rich and immature. Much of the feldspar was transformed to kaolinite. Concerning the relation between sandstone detrital composition and their depositional setting, the Sidi Aïch Formation sandstone in the major studied localities, probably accumulated in relatively proximal small basins within the continental interior. However, for the Khanguet El Ouara study site, sandstones may have been deposited in a foreland basin which received recycled sediments from an adjacent orogenic belt.The source area may have included quartzose sedimentary rocks. The dominance of quartz and enrichment in immobile elements suggest that the depositional basins were associated with a passive margin. The petrography and geochemistry reflect a stable continental margin and sediments were derived from granitic and pegmatitic sources located in the southern parts of the Gafsa basin. High values for the chemical index of alteration (CIA) indicate that recycling processes might have been important. Particularly high CIA values in the Garet Hadid locality indicate more intense chemical alteration, either due to weathering processes or tectonic control. 相似文献

In high-Mg, Al metapelites, monophase sapphirine corona occur around spinel–corundum aggregates in monomineralic cordierite
layers, and bi-phase orthopyroxene–sillimanite aggregates replace locally warped sapphirine in polygonized cordierite aggregates.
P–T phase topologies computed (Perple_X software) using compositions of cordierite-rich layers that host the reaction textures
did not match the assemblages for the discontinuous reactions spinel + corundum + cordierite → sapphirine and sapphirine + cordierite → orthopyroxene + sillimanite.
Instead, the reaction assemblages were reproduced using P–T pseudosection analysis for micro-domain reaction volumes estimated from compositions of product phases in the volume proportion
they occur. The results are consistent with known phase relations deduced using Schreinmakers P–T grids. Apparently, the compositions of cordierite-rich layers that hosted the reaction textures were inadequate chemical
proxies for determining P–T–X relations of phase-boundary controlled reactions influenced by compositions of the nearest-neighbor minerals in the proportion
they react (effective composition), and not in the proportion they existed in the layer/bulk rock. In other words, P–T–X phase topologies and reconstructed P–T paths in dry and aluminous rocks may be best understood by thermodynamic modeling of reactions using effective reaction volume
compositions rather than the bulk composition of the rock or the mineralogical layer that host the reaction textures. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe distinct basin and range tectonics in southeast China were generated in a crustal extension setting during the late Mesozoic. Compared with the adjacent granitoids of the ranges, the redbeds of the basins have not been well characterized. In this article, provenance, source weathering, and tectonic setting of the redbeds are investigated by petrographic and geochemical studies of sandstone samples from the Late Cretaceous Guifeng Group of the Yongchong Basin in the Gan-Hang Belt, southeast China. Detrital grains are commonly subangular to subrounded, poorly sorted, and are rich in lithic fragments. The variable pre-metasomatic Chemical Index of Alternation (CIA* = 62–85), Chemical Index of Weathering (CIW = 70.90–98.76, avg. 85.62), Plagioclase Index of Alteration (PIA = 60.23–98.35, avg. 79.91), and high Index of Compositional Variability (ICV = 0.67–3.08, avg. 1.40) values collectively suggest an overall intermediate degree of chemical weathering and intense physical erosion of the source rocks, but a relatively decreased degree of chemical weathering during the late stage (Lianhe Formation) of the Guifeng Group is observed. Several chemical ratios (e.g. Al2O3/TiO2, La/Th, Cr/Th, Th/Sc, Zr/Sc) also suggest a dominant felsic source nature, significant first-cycle sediment supply, and low sedimentary recycling. Such features are consistent with active extension tectonic setting. Sandstone framework models and geochemical characteristics suggest the provenance is related to passive margin (PM), active continental margin (ACM), and continental island arc (CIA) tectonic settings. Sediment derivation from the Neoproterozoic metamorphic rocks and Silurian–Devonian granites indicates a PM provenance, whereas sediments derived from the Early Cretaceous volcanic-intrusive complexes suggest an ACM and CIA nature. Therefore, the Late Cretaceous redbeds were deposited in a dustpan-like half-graben under the back-arc extension regime when southeast China was possibly influenced by northwestward subduction of the Palaeo-Pacific plate beneath East Asia. 相似文献

The Jurassic shale is an important source rock for the found gas reservoirs in the Tarim Basin, northwestern China, but has never been researched for shale gas potential. The geological effects on methane adsorption capacity for the gas shale have been investigated in this paper through the geochemical, mineralogical and adsorption analyses on samples from wells and sections. The methane adsorption capacity ranges from 0.58 to 16.57 cm3/g, and the total organic carbon (TOC) content is between 0.5 and 13.5 wt%. The organic maturity measured by Tmax is between 410 °C (immature) and 499 °C (overmature). The methane adsorption capacity of the Jurassic continental shale in the Tarim Basin is affected by many geological factors, including the TOC content, organic matter maturity, mineral composition, surface area and pore size distribution. The TOC content is the most significant factor with a positive effect on the adsorption capacity of the Jurassic shale, and the influence varies piecewise according to the TOC content. The TOC content contributes much more to the methane adsorption capacity of organic‐rich shale samples (TOC content > 0.7 wt%) than to the organic‐lean samples (TOC content < 0.7 wt%). The mineral composition is a secondary factor, and the abundance of clay content has a positive effect on the methane adsorption capacity despite its relatively weaker adsorption ability compared to TOC. The pore size distribution has different effects on surface area and pore volume. Mesopores and micropores provide the major surface area and are mainly derived from TOC and illite, which has a positive influence on the adsorption capacity. Mesopores and macropores offer the major pore volume and are mainly formed by illite, which is the major contributor for pore volume rather than surface area. In addition, the TOC and illite contents of the Jurassic shale in the Tarim Basin are closely related to the origin, maturity and diagenesis evolution of the shale: (1) both TOC and illite content variations are related to the different provenances and depositional environments of shale; (2) the decrease of TOC content with increasing maturity is also partly attributed to hydrocarbon generation; and (3) the increase of illite content with increasing maturity is due to illitization in the diagenesis of shale.

The assessment of the aluminosilicate buffering potential during acid weathering of the Estonian alum shale is provided.
It is found that the stoichiometric interaction between dissolved pyrite oxidation products and illite of the shale best describe
the buffering process and are consistent with earlier field studies. The scheme includes incongruent dissolution of illite
with smectite and K-jarosite precipitating. This complex mechanism involves buffering of 8% of the acidity by K+ and temporary precipitation of 25% of the acidity as K-jarosite. Dissolution proceeds at a low pH (1.5–3) until all pyrite
in the shale particle is oxidised. Hence, if the total amount of illite present is larger than needed for stoichiometric interactions,
only part of it is involved in a buffering process, neutralising a certain percentage of acidity. The next stage in shale
weathering is the incongruent dissolution of K-jarosite with the release of the precipitated acidity and the formation of
ferric oxyhydroxide.
