南海北部陆丰凹陷内LF14井记录了早中新世至早上新世的海相沉积地层。古水深重建结果显示研究井位在早中新世突然发生海侵,水深迅速上升至最大值275m,随后经数次波动,整体处于中—外陆架环境,共记录了5个完整的海侵—海退层序。回剥分析方法重建的LF14井沉降史揭示了研究井位在中中新世(17.5—10Ma)处于快速沉降期,快速沉降导致的凹陷内沉积物的可容纳空间发育速率高和陆源物质供给充足是造成该阶段沉积速率高的两个重要因素;晚中新世—早上新世(10—4.53Ma)处于弱沉降期,推测东沙运动导致凹陷内的沉积物可容纳空间发育速率变小和陆源物质供给减少,造成该时期内研究井位沉积速率低。最后,依据定量重建的古水深变化在研究层段识别出一系列短暂存在的构造上升事件。 相似文献

运用地质与地球物理综合研究方法,对南海北部珠江口盆地白云深水区始新世—中新世的沉积充填特征开展研究,结果表明,在早中始新世,白云凹陷沉积环境经历了由陆相冲积扇到中深湖相的转变,晚始新世部分地区遭受海侵,沉积物源主要来自北部番禺低隆起和东沙及神狐构造高部位,以近源沉积为主。到早渐新世,凹陷沉积环境转变为海陆过渡相及海相环境,凹陷北部受番禺低隆起等局部物源控制,凹陷主体接受大量源自南海西部昆莺琼古河的物源供给。到晚渐新世,古珠江沉积范围增大,突破番禺低隆起进入白云凹陷,凹陷北部主体受古珠江搬运沉积物影响,凹陷其余地区则接受来自北部古珠江及西部昆莺琼古河双物源供给。进入中新世,由于盆地热沉降作用的加强,南海北部陆架坡折带由白云凹陷南部跃迁至北部,凹陷水深不断加深,凹陷主体受古珠江沉积物的控制,其中南部地区为深水环境,受到由浊流搬运来的北部古珠江物质、西部昆莺琼古河物质以及正常远洋沉积物的共同影响。 相似文献

青藏高原隆升、琼东南盆地沉降和西沙岛礁发育之间的耦合关系 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
本文基于琼东南盆地15口钻井和西沙石岛岛礁“西科一井”的钻井资料,结合过井地震剖面,系统分析了琼东南盆地沉降（沉积充填）和西沙岛礁生长速率及其变化特征,探讨了青藏高原隆升与琼东南盆地沉降和西沙岛礁发育之间的耦合关系,三者在发育时间和发育过程上表现出高度的一致性,且南海古海水中Sr同位素组成变化也表现出对青藏高原隆升速率变化很好的响应。相对于深水区,浅水区的沉积物堆积速率及其变化能够更好地反映盆地的沉降速率及其变化。琼东南盆地的沉降（沉积物堆积）和西沙岛礁的发育过程均可以分为3个阶段,分别对应于青藏高原的3个隆升期,时间自老到新分别为:23~16 Ma BP、16~5.5 Ma BP、5.5 Ma BP至今。相比而言,岛礁的发育过程与青藏高原的隆升之间的耦合关系更为密切。在青藏高原的快速隆升期,相应发生盆地沉降（沉积充填或沉积物堆积）和岛礁生长速率的加快,同时对应发生了南海海水87Sr/86Sr比值的增大,说明青藏高原隆升可能是影响琼东南盆地乃至整个南海沉降（沉积充填）、岛礁发育和古海水Sr同位素组成变化的主要因素。 相似文献

南沙海域万安盆地地质构造与沉积体系特征 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
万安盆地是其东侧万安走滑断裂发生右旋走滑所派生的扭张应力作用下形成的一个走滑拉张盆地。NE、NEE和SN向的断裂是盆内最主要的断裂,它们在盆内局部形成"三隆四坳"的格局。盆地构造演化经历了基底形成、初始裂谷作用、裂谷发育(第一阶段裂谷作用)、裂谷后早期(第二阶段裂谷作用)、构造反转和裂后期(区域沉降阶段)等几个阶段。根据钻井资料和地震资料中叠加速度建立的时-深关系,在该盆地可划分出4个巨层序界面:MB1,声波基底的顶部(前古近纪);MB2,渐新世顶部(24Ma);MB3,晚中新世(8Ma);MB4,早上新世(4Ma)。每一个巨层序界面(MB)之上都有与之对应的巨层序(MS),从老到新依次为MS1—MS4。盆地晚始新世—渐新世以湖泊-三角洲沉积体系为主;晚中新世时经历了非海相-海陆交互相-陆架沉积体系的过渡;中新世—早上新世为碳酸盐岩-浅海陆架-三角洲沉积体系;早上新世—第四纪为陆架-陆坡-深海沉积体系。 相似文献

南海东南部陆缘发育多个新生代沉积盆地,其构造—沉积响应记录了南海形成演化的丰富地质信息。中中新世末S3界面是南海东南部新生代沉积盆地热沉降期的重要地质界面,但目前研究尚不充分,且对其地质属性也存在较大争议。在钻井资料约束下,通过对礼乐盆地和西南、西北巴拉望盆地二维地震测线的精细解释,结合钻井岩性资料,从地震相—沉积相、构造沉降速率以及沉积中心迁移等变化角度,系统总结了S3界面的特征。该界面是区域性不整合面,可全区域追踪解释,但在研究区不同构造位置界面特征具有明显差异:在盆地边缘和岛礁发育区界面具有显著的"下削上超"不整合现象,而凹陷内多表现为整合接触,但局部伴生水道下切现象;在西北、西南巴拉望陆架和陆坡区,界面上下存在岩性和沉积相突变现象,局部由半深水—深水相突变为滨—浅海相。构造沉降分析显示,中中新世研究区以区域快速沉降为主,中中新世末(S3界面时期)沉降速率开始普遍减小,可能与南海扩张结束后深部动力机制有关。厘定S3界面的形成时间约为12Ma,认为其可能与菲律宾岛弧与巴拉望岛碰撞造成的大规模抬升事件有关。另外,研究区S3界面之上发育的富砂和富碳酸盐岩的重力流沉积体系则可能是12.5Ma以来全球海平面相对下降的直接响应,期间多次区域性的海退有利于砂质和碳酸盐岩沉积物向深水区的搬运。 相似文献

Subsidence analysis (backstripping) was carried out on a series of wells from the Gulf of Suez and northern Red Sea region of Egypt in order to examine the interplay between tectonic events, basin subsidence, sedimentation and sea level changes in a young, developing ocean basin and continental margin. Using constraints on chronostratigraphy and paleodepth from various sources combined with stratigraphic and structural information from industry wells and other geophysical sources it has been possible to compile the data necessary to perform geohistory analyses throughout the region.Major subsidence due to crustal thinning began ∼25 Ma with sedimentation initially occurring in isolated sub-basins. These earliest sediments record the transition from continental to marine depositional environments. Subsequently during early and middle Miocene times subsidence was rapid and uniform along and across the entire rift basin. Open marine sedimentation occurred across all structural regimes. The mid-Clysmic tectonic event (16.5 Ma) resulted in structural rearrangement of the rift basin and uplift of the rift shoulders. Rapid subsidence continued as global sea level fell, producing a series of prograding, siliciclastic fan-deltas at the rift margins. At ∼15.5 Ma, opening of the Suez rift was terminated, tectonic subsidence decreased dramatically in the southern rift and ceased entirely in the northern rift. Tensional plate motion probably was transferred from the Gulf of Suez to sinistral strike-slip movement on the Dead Sea transform at this time. The quiescence in subsidence combined with a lowered global sea level resulted in the deposition of a thick (up to 4 km) series of evaporites within the central trough of the rift from the middle to latest Miocene. The accumulation of such a thick sequence of sediments during a phase of decreased tectonic subsidence is interpreted as a ‘filling-in’ of the rift topography which developed during the earlier period of rapid subsidence and rift-shoulder uplift and continued compaction.A rapid global sea level rise concomitant with a subsequent pulse of increased tectonic activity in the latest Miocene—earliest Pliocene returned the rift to dominantly marine conditions. 相似文献

Cenozoic sedimentary evolution of deepwater sags in the Pearl River Mouth Basin, northern South China Sea 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Recent exploration revealed the high potential for hydrocarbon in the deepwater sags, Pearl River Mouth Basin, northern South China Sea. This paper reports its Cenozoic sedimentary evolution through backstripping of high precision depth data of interpreted sequence boundaries. Local backstripping parameters were mapped based on well and geophysical data. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the reliability of decompaction results were largely improved by using the local porosity parameters and the lithological parameters that vary with grid nodes. Maps of sedimentation rates of 17 sequences from 65 Ma to the present were constructed, showing the spatial–temporal variation of the sedimentation rate. Three rapid depositional stages, 65–32, 29–23.3, 18.5–10.5 Ma, and three slow depositional stages, 32–29, 23.3–18.5, 10.5–0 Ma, were identified with abrupt changes of sedimentary patterns. The three rapid depositional stages were in accord with syn-rifting stage, the first post-rifting depositional stage, and the second post-rifting depositional stage, respectively. And the three slow depositional stages were in keeping with three tectonic events respectively. Several significant sedimentary discontinuities at 32, 23.3 and 10.5 Ma were observed and discussed. The comparison between the study area and the ODP Site 1148 at 32–23.3 Ma indicates that before ~29 Ma the ODP Site 1148 was at similar sedimentation regime as that in the Baiyun and Liwan sags, but significant diversity appeared after ~29 Ma, when a large quantity of terrigenous sediments was trapped by strong post-rifting subsidence in the Baiyun and Liwan sags and could not reach the lower slope areas. Study revealed that the most rapid accumulation from 18.5 to 17.5 Ma might be mainly owing to the large sediment supply during this strong monsoon period. 相似文献

A 33 Ma lithostratigraphic record of tectonic and paleoceanographic evolution of the South China Sea
Qianyu Li Pinxian Wang Quanhong Zhao Lei Shao Guangfa Zhong Jun Tian Xinrong Cheng Zhimin Jian Xin Su 《Marine Geology》2006,230(3-4):217-235
The 853 m thick sediment sequence recovered at ODP Site 1148 provides an unprecedented record of tectonic and paleoceanographic evolution in the South China Sea over the past 33 Ma. Litho-, bio-, and chemo-stratigraphic studies helped identify six periods of changes marking the major steps of the South China Sea geohistory. Rapid deposition with sedimentation rates of 60 m/Ma or more characterized the early Oligocene rifting. Several unconformities from the slumped unit between 457 and 495 mcd together erased about 3 Ma late Oligocene record, providing solid evidence of tectonic transition from rifting/slow spreading to rapid spreading in the South China Sea. Slow sedimentation of 20–30 m/Ma signifies stable seafloor spreading in the early Miocene. Dissolution may have affected the completeness of Miocene–Pleistocene succession with short-term hiatuses beyond current biostratigraphical resolution. Five major dissolution events, D-1 to D-5, characterize the stepwise development of deep water masses in close association to post-Oligocene South China Sea basin transformation. The concurrence of local and global dissolution events in the Miocene and Pliocene suggests climatic forcing as the main mechanism causing deep water circulation changes concomitantly in world oceans and in marginal seas. A return of high sedimentation rate of 60 m/Ma to the late Pliocene and Pleistocene South China Sea was caused by intensified down-slope transport due to frequent sea level fluctuations and exposure of a large shelf area during sea level low-stands. The six paleoceanographic stages, respectively corresponding to rifting (33–28.5 Ma), changing spreading southward (28.5–23 Ma), stable spreading to end of spreading (23–15 Ma), post-spreading balance (15–9 Ma), further modification and monsoon influence (9–5 Ma), and glacial prevalence (5–0 Ma), had transformed the South China Sea from a series of deep grabens to a rapidly expanding open gulf and finally to a semi-enclosed marginal sea in the past 33 Ma. 相似文献

This study provides the results of the first integrated study of Oligocene–Pliocene basins around Norway.Within the study area, three main depocentres have been identified where sandy sediments accumulated throughout the Oligocene to Early Pliocene period. The depocentre in the Norwegian–Danish Basin received sediments from the southern Scandes Mountains, with a general progradation from north to south during the studied period. The depocentre in the basinal areas of the UK and Norwegian sectors of the North Sea north of 58°N received sediments from the Scotland–Shetland area. Because of the sedimentary infilling there was a gradual shallowing of the northern North Sea basin in the Oligocene and Miocene. A smaller depocentre is identified offshore northern Nordland between Ranafjorden (approximately 66°N) and Vesterålen (approximately 68°N) where the northern Scandes Mountains were the source of the Oligocene to Early Pliocene sediments. In other local depocentres along the west coast of Norway, sandy sedimentation occurred in only parts of the period. Shifts in local depocentres are indicative of changes in the paleogeography in the source areas.In the Barents Sea and south to approximately 68°N, the Oligocene to Early Pliocene section is eroded except for distal fine-grained and biogenic deposits along the western margin and on the oceanic crust. This margin was undergoing deformation in a strike-slip regime until the Eocene–Oligocene transition. The Early Oligocene sediments dated in the Vestbakken Volcanic Province and the Forlandssundet Basin represent the termination of this strike-slip regime.The change in the plate tectonic regime at the Eocene–Oligocene transition affected mainly the northern part of the study area, and was followed by a quiet tectonic period until the Middle Miocene, when large compressional dome and basin structures were formed in the Norwegian Sea. The Middle Miocene event is correlated with a relative fall in sea level in the main depocentres in the North Sea, formation of a large delta in the Viking Graben (Frigg area) and uplift of the North and South Scandes domes. In the Norwegian–Danish Basin, the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone was reactivated in the Early Miocene, possibly causing a shift in the deltaic progradation towards the east. A Late Pliocene relative rise in sea level resulted in low sedimentation rates in the main depositional areas until the onset of glaciations at about 2.7 Ma when the Scandes Mountains were strongly eroded and became a major source of sediments for the Norwegian shelf, whilst the Frigg delta prograded farther to the northeast. 相似文献

The dynamic mechanism of post-rift accelerated subsidence in Qiongdongnan Basin, northern South China Sea 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

A 1-D unloaded tectonic subsidence (air-loaded tectonic subsidence) model is proposed and applied to the Qiongdongnan Basin. Results show that three episodes of subsidence exist in Cenozoic, that is, syn-rift rapid subsidence (Eocene–Oligocene) with subsidence rate at 20–100 m/m.y., post-rift slow thermal subsidence (early-middle Miocene) around 40 m/m.y., and post-rift accelerated subsidence (since late Miocene) 40–140 m/m.y., which is substantially deviated from the exponentially decayed thermal subsidence model. For exploring the mechanism of post-rift accelerated subsidence, the faulting analyses are conducted and results show that there is a dramatically decrease in the numbers of active faults and fault growth rate since 21 Ma, which indicates that no active brittle crust extension occurred during post-rift period. Furthermore, previous studies have demonstrated that the stretching of the upper crust is far less than that affecting the whole crust. Therefore, we infer that the lower crust thinned during the post-rift period and a new model of basin development and evolution is put forward to explain the post-rift accelerated subsidence and depth-dependent crust thinning in the Qiongdongnan Basin, which is supported by gravity data. 相似文献

Carbonate rock cores drilled on the Kikai Seamount, northern Philippine Sea are examined for better understanding of tectonic history of the northern Philippine Sea. The Kikai Seamount, the summit of which is at 1960 m water depth, is an isolated high on the northwestern part of the Amami Plateau formed by subduction-related arc volcanism, and is situated close to the axis of the Ryukyu Trench in front of the Ryukyu Arc, SW Japan. The seamount is capped with shallow-water carbonates such as coral rudstone. Detailed examinations of lithology, larger foraminiferal assemblages, and Sr isotope composition reveal that the core material comprises Miocene carbonates unconformably overlain by Early Pleistocene carbonates. It indicates rapid subsidence of the Kikai Seamount since the Early Pleistocene. The most probable cause of rapid subsidence is collision and subduction of the Amami Plateau laden with the Kikai Seamount. The rapid subsidence may have started when the western corner of the plateau reached the Ryukyu Trench and began subduction beneath the Ryukyu Arc. The onset of the subsidence is likely to be controlled by a motion change in the Philippine Sea Plate. The latest change in subduction direction from north to northwestward into northwestward to west has been believed to have occurred at 1-2 Ma during latest Pliocene to Early Pleistocene time. The change of direction resulted in the shift from oblique into right-angle subduction of the plate beneath the Ryukyu Arc and also the onset of the collision and subduction of the Amami Plateau. 相似文献

High-resolution benthic oxygen isotope and XRF (Fe and Ca) records from Site 1085 drilled in the Mid-Cape basin (ODP Leg 175) are used to investigate global climate changes during the Late Miocene in relation to Messinian geological events. The cyclic fluctuations of the time series at Site 1085 enable us to establish a reliable chronology for the time interval 7.3–4.7 Ma. Spectral analysis of the δ18O record indicates that the 41-kyr period of orbital obliquity dominates the Late Miocene record. A global climate record was extracted from the oxygen isotopic composition of benthic foraminifera. Both long- and short-term variabilities in the climate record are discussed in terms of sea-level and deep-water temperature changes. The time interval 7.3–6.25 Ma characterized by low-amplitude δ18O variations is followed by a period marked by maximum in the δ18O values (6.25–5.57 Ma). At about 5.56 Ma, a rapid decrease in δ18O values is documented that may reflect a warming of deep-water temperature associated with a global warming period. Comparison between the timing of the oceanic isotope events and the chronology of the Mediterranean Salinity Crisis suggest that global eustatic processes were not essential in the Mediterranean Salinity Crisis history. From our data, we infer that the global warmth documented in the Early/mid-Pliocene probably started during the Late Miocene (at 5.55 Ma). At the same time, the onset of evaporite deposition in the central basin of the Mediterranean Sea took place. Sharp changes in the sedimentation rates, mainly driven by terrigenous input at this site, are observed during the Messinian Stage. 相似文献

In December 1995 we dredged early Miocene coral-reef carbonates and early/middle Pliocene slope carbonates outcropping on
the submerged Rama Ridge. This indicates that some of the Banda Sea Ridges were present during early Miocene times. Subsequent
major tectonic subsidence occurred between middle Miocene and early Pliocene times. These results concur with the hypothesis
of a relatively recent age for the North Banda Sea basement.
