Routine trace-element geochemistry suggests that components in putative marine halite evaporites may be partly of nonmarine origin, but such interpretations are commonly ambiguous. Stable chlorine isotopes may provide a less-ambiguous marker of chloride origin where δ37 Cl departs from the range predicted for evaporite formation from seawater. Bedded halite with primary sedimentary textures preserves original δ37 Cl values. Measurable change in δ37 Cl can be generated by incongruent dissolution of halite, but only if less than half the original halite remains. Badenian (middle Miocene) halite from the Forecarpathian and from the East Slovakian and Transcarpathian basins has a δ37 Cl range of – 0.2 to 0.8‰. Two phenomena cannot be explained by simple evaporation of 0.0‰ seawater. At Wieliczka, the Shaft Salt has distinctive δ37 Cl values (– 0.2 to 0.0‰) relative to neighbouring salt beds (0.2 to 0.6‰), requiring a large, abrupt input of brine with negative δ37 Cl. Halite with high (0.6 – 0.8‰) δ37 Cl near the base of the East Slovakian and Transcarpathian evaporites requires a large input of chloride with positive δ37 Cl into the basins. Expulsion of basin brine with non-0‰δ37 Cl into the evaporite basins may account for the nonmarine chloride sources. 相似文献

Expanded sedimentary records from the Tethys reveal unique faunal and isotopic changes across the Palaeocene-Eocene (P-E) transition. Unlike in the open oceans, the Tethys exhibits a gradual decrease of 1.5% in δ13 C values prior to the rapid δ13 C excursion. Associated with the 613 C excursion is a decrease in calcite burial, increase in detrital content and appearance of a unique opportunistic planktic foraminifera1 assemblage (e.g. compressed acarininids). The existence of a prelude decrease in δ13 C values in the Tethys suggests that the P-E δ13 C excursion may have occurred in two steps and over a few hundred thousand years, rather than as one step over a few thousand years as previously suggested. This slower excursion rate is readily explained by changing organic carbon weathering or burial rates and avoids the need of invoking ad hoc scenarios. 相似文献

Benthic and planktonic foraminifera from a marly clay intercalation sandwiched between mid‐Badenian (Middle Miocene) gypsum deposited in an environment of an evaporitic shoal (<1 m deep) at Borków (southern Poland) indicate a major marine flooding event in the previously isolated Carpathian Foredeep Basin (Central Paratethys). After this very short‐term environmental change, benthic foraminifers started to colonize a new niche which was previously defaunated, and the pattern of benthic foraminiferal colonization is similar to that related to the reflooding which terminated the Badenian evaporite deposition. The benthic foraminifer assemblages are composed of pioneer, opportunistic, r‐selected species dominated by elphidiids. The connection of the Carpathian Foredeep Basin with the marine reservoir was short‐lived. The marly clay intercalations in evaporite sequences originating in bared basins can thus register major environmental changes. 相似文献

ABSTRACT This work presents a detailed 87 Sr/86 Sr isotope curve for the interval 7.5–9.7 Ma obtained by a high-resolution analysis (sampling spacing of about 40 kyr) of an astronomically calibrated land-based sedimentary sequence exposed in the central Mediterranean area (Gibliscemi section, southern Sicily). The main aim is to verify a synchronous response of the Mediterranean seawater Sr isotope record to the oceanic forcing on the basis of multiple comparisons of the Gibliscemi record with published coeval 87 Sr/86 Sr curves. A good correlation with the 87 Sr/86 Sr data from the ODP site 926 (equatorial Atlantic ocean), considered to be the Sr chemostratigraphic reference section for the Late Miocene, and from the Pacific DSDP site 590B was registered. Conversely, the comparison of the Gibliscemi Sr isotope data with 87 Sr/86 Sr ratios from the coeval segment of the land-based Sardella section (eastern Mediterranean) shows important differences highlighting a local control on the seawater Sr isotope changes in semi-isolated subbasins within the Late Miocene Mediterranean. 相似文献

Stable isotope data of the foraminiferal carbonate shells and bulk sediment samples from the Central Paratethys were investigated
to contribute to better knowledge of the paleoenvironmental changes in Badenian (Middle Miocene). Five benthic (Uvigerina semiornata, U. aculeata, Ammonia beccarii, Elphidium sp. and Heterolepa dutemplei) and three planktonic taxa (Globigerina bulloides, G. diplostoma and Globigerinoides trilobus), characterising the bottom, intermediate and superficial layers of the water column, were selected from the Vienna Basin
(W Slovakia). The foraminiferal fauna and its isotope signal point out to temperature-stratified, nutrient-rich and consequently
less-oxygenated marine water during the Middle/Late Badenian. Negative carbon isotope ratios indicate increased input of 12C-enriched organic matter to the bottom of the Vienna Basin. Positive benthic δ18O implies that the global cooling tendency recorded in the Middle Miocene has also affected the intramountain Vienna Basin.
In this time, the Central Paratethys has been in the process of isolation. Our stable isotope trend suggests that the communication
with Mediterranean Sea has been still more or less active on the south of Vienna Basin (Slovak part) in the Late Badenian,
whereas the seawater exchange towards north was apparently reduced already during the Middle Badenian. 相似文献

Abstract. 40 Ar-39 Ar analyses of two alunite samples from phreatic craters in the Pliocene Muine volcano in southwest Hokkaido, Japan, were carried out. The alunite with 17.4 permil δ34 SV_CDT value in hydrothermal breccia from the Nagaoyama crater and that with 14.3 permil δ34 SV_CDT value in silicified andesite from the Konuma crater give total fusion ages of 1.40 ± 0.04 Ma (la uncertainty) and 1.24 ± 0.08 Ma, respectively. However, the spectra of these samples indicate they have been effected by thermal overprinting and/or the existence of excess argon. These preliminary 40 Ar-39 A analyses suggest that the alunite underwent multiple hydrothermal activity by magmatic gas and vapor subsequent to the main hydrothermal activity. 相似文献

We report silicon isotopic determinations for USGS rock reference materials BHVO-1 and BHVO-2 using a Nu Plasma multi-collector (MC)-ICP-MS, upgraded with a new adjustable entrance slit, to obtain medium resolution, as well as a stronger primary pump and newly designed sampler and skimmer cones ("B" cones). These settings, combined with the use of collector slits, allowed a resolution to be reached that was sufficient to overcome the 14 N16 O and 14 N2 interferences overlying the 30 Si and the 28 Si peaks, respectively, in an earlier set-up. This enabled accurate measurement of both δ30 Si and δ29 Si. The δ value is expressed in per mil variation relative to the NBS 28 quartz reference material. Based on data acquired from numerous sessions spread over a period of six months, we propose a recommended average δ30 Si of −0.33 ± 0.05‰ and −0.29 ± 0.11‰ (2se) for BHVO-1 and BHVO-2, respectively. Our BHVO grand mean silicon isotope composition (δ30 Si =−0.31 ± 0.06‰) is significantly more negative than the only published value for BHVO-2, but is in very good agreement with the recently established average value of ocean island basalts (OIB), confirming the conclusion that the OIB reservoir has a distinct isotopic composition from the solar reservoir as sampled by chondrites. 相似文献

The formulas for correcting 14 C measurements are explained. The expected ranges of the δ13 C values for some types of samples are given. It is pointed out that the corrections are approximate because of the choice of correction formula, and that all samples arc normalized to wood samples instead of to carbon dioxide of the air. Some results from the Uppsala laboratory for plant materials and carbonates are given. 相似文献

Refinements have been made to achieve over 99% yield in the conversion of CO to CO2 in order to improve the reproducibility and accuracy of δ18 O measurements in sulfates. BaSO4 (10-15 mg) was mixed with an identical amount of spectrographic-grade graphite and loaded into a Pt boat. The mixture was gradually heated to 1100 °C to reduce sulfate to CO and CO2 ; the former gas was simultaneously converted to CO2 by a glow discharge between Pt electrodes immersed in a magnetic field (produced by a pair of external neodymium magnets). A small memory effect was noticed during the analysis (less than 0.3‰ per 10‰ difference in δ18 O between two subsequently analysed samples). The memory effect, however, was suppressed by repetitive preparation of the same specimen. CO2 produced in this way from sulfate reference samples was analysed on a dual inlet and triple collector mass spectrometer along with CO2 equilibrated with VSMOW, GISP and SLAP water reference samples. To avoid large departures of measured isotope ratios from 18 O/16 O of the working calibrator we used CO2 gas prepared from ocean water sulfate for this purpose. The calibrated δ18 O values (in ‰) obtained in this way for NBS-127, IAEA SO-5 and IAEA SO-6 reference materials were 8.73 ± 0.05, 12.20 ± 0.07 and -10.43 ± 0.12, respectively. 相似文献

We present an approach for tracing the fate of anthropogenic CO2 , compiling a large data set of stable organic carbon isotope ratios from surface sediments, plankton, and sinking matter in the Atlantic Ocean. The δ13 C values of sinking matter are generally lower by 0.5–4.6‰ compared to the surface sediments. This difference increases with increasing latitude, which is explained by a stronger modern increase in surface water [CO2 (aq)] in the Southern Ocean relative to the Tropical/Subtropical Ocean. Preindustrial dissolved CO2 concentrations in Atlantic surface waters, estimated from the δ13 Corg of surface sediments, are compared to recently measured surface water [CO2 (aq)] values taken from literature. We obtain only a slight increase in [CO2 (aq)] at lower latitudes but a significant change of about 7 ± 2 μ m in high latitudinal surface waters which we attribute to anthropogenic perturbation. Our results suggest that CO2 released by human activities has been stored in Southern Ocean surface waters. 相似文献

Stable carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of essentially unmetamorphosed Archean (> 2.6 Gyr old) cherts and carbonates of the Dharwar Sequence of southern India, from the northernmost part of the Dharwar-Shimoga supracrustal belt (Kalche and Nagargali), have been determined. The cherts from the Nagargali area, which preserve oolitic texture and cryptocrystalline silica, show highly enriched δ18 O values ranging from 28 to 31.4%o relative to SMOW. Such values are the highest yet reported from Archean nondetrital sediments, but are similar to those of modern marine cherts. On the assumption of a seawater δ18 O of 0%0 , calculation of temperature based on the maximum δ18 O value of 31.4%0 yields a value of 40°C. This is significantly less than 70–80°C reported for the Archean oceans based on cherts and chert-phosphate pairs. Diagenetically recrystallized microcrystalline chert-dolomite pairs of Kalche area exhibit a range of oxygen isotopic ratios similar to those reported for Archean cherts and carbonates from other parts of the world. The temperature of diagenesis is estimated to be about 68°C. 相似文献

ABSTRACT The Tripoli Formation (Lower Messinian) in Sicily includes diatomites irregularly alternating with marl and carbonate beds and lies, stratigraphically, between the Tortonian pelagic marls and the evaporitic Calcare di base. The relationships between mineralogy, textural features and oxygen-carbon isotopic compositions of carbonate components point to a wide variability of depositional conditions and suggest that Tripoli sedimentation occurred in small basins characterized by periodic and marked restriction from the open sea.
The isotopic values of calcite and dolomite in the diatomites suggest an evolution from normal marine towards more restricted environments. Evaporating conditions are also indicated by the occurrence of anhydrite, length-slow chalcedonic quartz and moulds of gypsum. In a more advanced stage, the precipitation of heavy δ18 0 dolomite in the interstitial pores of fossil-poor diatomites denotes an environment with highly evaporated water. Mixing of meteoric and marine waters, on the other hand, might have favoured the precipitation of a dolomite characterized by relatively low δ18 0 and δ13 C values.
The deposition of marl and carbonate beds alternating with or overlying the diatomites took place in an environment with highly evaporated marine waters on the basis of δl18 O values of dolomite (up to + 9.10‰) and aragonite (up to + 5.83‰), occurrence of evaporitic minerals and lack of fossils. The presence at these levels of calcite with extremely negative δ13 C values (down to - 38.40‰), filling gypsum moulds, suggests activity of sulphate-reducing bacteria. Some aragonitic marls, however, bear evidence of deposition in relatively normal marine conditions. 相似文献

For studies of mass-dependent fractionation of calcium isotopes in natural materials, the 48 Ca/42 Ca ratio is a superior choice to the conventionally measured 44 Ca/40 Ca ratio for two important reasons. These are (1) mass-dependent fractionation can be determined free from the effects of inherited or ingrown radiogenic 40 Ca and (2) this ratio increases the spread of measured isotopic masses by 50%, resulting in statistically better resolution of fractionation, assuming similar precision. A third, though strictly technical, advantage is the inherent ability of a mass spectrometer to measure ratios close to unity (48 Ca/42 Ca) more precisely than very small or large ratios (44 Ca/40 Ca). However, because of the very low natural abundance of both 48 Ca and 42 Ca, their ratio has been very difficult to measure, the only attempt so far being on a high mass resolution MC-ICP-MS with a precision of 0.33%. We report here determination of the 48 Ca/42 Ca ratio by the more commonly available and user-friendly multi-collector TIMS using a 43 Ca-46 Ca double-spike, with a significantly better precision of 0.18% (2s). The 48 Ca/40 Ca or 44 Ca/40 Ca ratio can also be measured in the same mass spectrometer run to provide complementary information on any radiogenic component. 相似文献

Benthic foraminifera and stable isotopes analyses revealed changes emerging in the paleoceanographic scenery in the Paratethys.
The percentage of inbenthic, oxyphylic taxa and diversity in the benthic foraminiferal assemblage showed increasing food supply
(organic matter), decreasing oxygen level and growing stress on the sea floor. Oxygen isotopes measured in planktonic and
benthic foraminifera pointed to strengthening stratification during the Badenian period. The carbon isotopes indicated intensified
accumulation of light marine organic matter. This increasing stratification trend is especially pronounced by Late Badenian
(13.5–13 Ma) when surface water oxygen isotope values are rather negative. A simple two-layer circulation model was worked
out for the Badenian Paratethys explaining these characteristic environmental changes. An antiestuarine (lagoonal) circulation is assumed for the Central Paratethys during the Early (16.4–15 Ma) and mid Badenian (15–13.5 Ma). The mid Badenian
period of time comprises the short episode of evaporite formation in the Carpathian Foredeep and the Transylvanian Basin.
Evidence presented here supported a reversal of circulation to estuarine type after the deposition of salts by Late Badenian (13.5–13 Ma). The Early Badenian antiestuarine circulation is suggested
to associate with the high temperatures of the Mid-Miocene Climatic Optimum, and the Late Badenian estuarine circulation with
the cooler period following it. 相似文献

In the Western French Massif Central, the Argentat fault is a major structure through which As–Au fluids percolated in the Late Carboniferous along brittle fractures. New petrostructural investigations show that an early ductile normal-dextral faulting, coeval to leucogranite emplacement took place during the Late Visean syncollisional extension of the belt and was accompanied by a hydrothermal event marked by the growth of muscovites whose 40 Ar/39 Ar ages cluster around 335 Ma. This early fluid channelling is associated with brittle deformation only in the hangingwall of the Argentat fault, whereas ductile deformation is restricted to the footwall. These results provide new evidence for the upper crust implication during the syncollisional extension in the French Massif Central. This study stresses the interest of a detailed multimethod analysis to characterize hydrothermal processes, especially in basement areas where the tectonic, plutonic and metamorphic evolution is polyphased. 相似文献

Determinations of the absolute age of cleavage formation can provide fundamental information about the evolution of orogenic belts. However, when applied to cleavages in slates and phyllites, conventional dating methods are complicated by problems related to mineral separation and the presence of multiple cleavage generations. In situ high-spatial-resolution 40 Ar/39 Ar laser microprobe geochronology and microstructural observations indicate that the age of cleavage formation in slates and phyllites can be constrained by analysing zones of tightly packed cleavage domains. Three regionally developed cleavages (S2 , S3 , and S4 ) are present in the northern Taconic Allochthon of Vermont and New York. Representative samples were studied from a variety of localities where these cleavages, which are defined by white micas, are well developed. In the suite of samples, only S3 and S4 are expressed as domains that are sufficiently wide and spatially isolated in thin section to permit quantitative 40 Ar/39 Ar geochronology. Mean 40 Ar/39 Ar laser microprobe ages for these domains are 370.7 ± 1.0 Myr for S3 and 345.5 ± 1.7 Myr for S4 . Because estimates of the Ar closure temperature for white micas are substantially higher than the inferred growth temperatures of the micas defining S3 and S4 , these values are interpreted as periods since cleavage formation. This interpretation is consistent with independent geochronological constraints on the age of the Acadian orogeny in the region. 相似文献

Direct absolute dating of the Penninic Frontal Thrust tectonic motion is achieved using the 40 Ar/39 Ar technique in the Pelvoux Crystalline Massif (Western Alps). The dated phengites were formed syn-kinematically in shear zones. They underline the brittle-ductile stretching lineation, pressure-shadow fibres and slickensides consistent with underthrusting of the European continental slab below the propagating Penninic Thrust. Chlorite–phengite thermobarometry yields 10–15 km and T ∼280 °C, while 40 Ar/39 Ar phengite ages mainly range between 34 and 30 Ma, with one younger age at 27 Ma. This Early Oligocene age range matches a major tectonic rearrangement of the Alpine chain. Preservation of prograde 40 Ar/39 Ar ages is ascribed to passive exhumation of the Pelvoux shear zone network, sandwiched between more external thrusts and the Penninic Front reactivated as an E-dipping detachment fault. Partial resetting in the Low Temperature part of argon spectra below 24 Ma is ascribed to brittle deformation and alteration of phengites. 相似文献

We report a new approach to conduct fast and accurate lithium isotope ratio measurements by MC-ICP mass spectrometry after wet chemical sample preparation. In contrast to most previously published methods our MC-ICP-MS set-up did not use a desolvating system to achieve appropriate ion beam intensities and, therefore, was less affected by matrix-induced shifts of the instrumental mass bias. As the total lithium background and build-up in the sample introduction system was low, previous sample residues could be washed out by an extended uptake of the new sample. Elimination of a nitric acid rinse step increased the sample throughput by a factor of two and allowed the instrumental mass bias drift to be tracked more precisely. δ7 Li values of powdered silicate rock reference materials and seawater obtained in this study revealed good accuracy and an overall analytical uncertainty of typically 0.5‰ (2s). On the basis of a comparison between our lithium isotope data and compiled literature data, we recommend preliminary average δ7 Li values for seawater (+30.8‰) and several silicate rock reference materials (BHVO-1: +5.0‰; JA-1: +5.6‰; JB-2: +4.8‰). The compilation of published δ7 Li values for seawater suggests that the observed large lithium isotope differences are due to inter-method and/or interlaboratory bias. Most recently published δ7 Li values for seawater show little variation and confirm a constant lithium isotope composition (at the sub ‰ level) of seawater in well mixed ocean basins. 相似文献

New 40 Ar/39 Ar ages are presented from the giant Sulu ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) terrane and surrounding areas. Combined with U-Pb ages, Sm-Nd ages, Rb-Sr ages, inclusion relationships, and geological relationships, they help define the orogenic events before, during and after the Triassic collision between the Sino–Korean and Yangtze Cratons. In the Qinling microcontinent, tectonism occurred between 2.0 and 1.4 Ga. The UHP metamorphism occurred in the Yangtze Craton between 240 and 222 Ma; its thermal effect on the Qinling microcontinent was limited to partial resetting of K-feldspar 40 Ar/39 Ar ages. Subsequent unroofing at rates of 5–25 km Myr−1 brought the UHP terrane to crustal levels where it underwent a relatively short amphibolite facies metamorphism. The end of that metamorphism is marked by 40 Ar/39 Ar ages in the 219–210 Ma range, implying cooling at crustal depths at rates of 50–200 °C Myr−1 . Ages in the 210–170 Ma range may reflect protracted cooling or partial resetting by Jurassic or Cretaceous magmatism. Jurassic 166–149 Ma plutonism was followed by cooling at rates of c. 15 °C Myr−1 , suggesting relatively deep crustal conditions, whereas Cretaceous 129–118 Ma plutonism was succeeded by cooling at rates of c. 50 C Myr−1 , suggesting relatively shallow crustal depths. 相似文献
