川北南江地区下三叠统飞一段风暴沉积特征及地质意义 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
为进一步探究四川盆地北部南江剖面近P-T界线处频繁出露的风暴沉积暗含的地质信息,探讨早三叠世巨型季风气候对四川盆地北部沉积的影响,对研究剖面进行野外及镜下岩石学、沉积学特征综合分析,以底面侵蚀构造、风暴砾屑层、丘状交错层理等作为重要的识别标志,识别出风暴作用不同阶段的沉积产物高峰期(Sa)、衰减期(Sb)、停息期(Sc)段。根据Sa、Sb、Sc段的不同组合形式,将出露的多套风暴沉积划分为代表不同水深环境的I、II、III、IV四种风暴层序结构类型;在此基础上对Sa段风暴颗粒进行粒度分析并对风暴沉积厚度、层序结构类型等作纵向比较,风暴沉积表现为向上风暴作用逐渐增强的沉积序列。结合上寺剖面风暴沉积研究并进行横向对比,发现两剖面风暴沉积均发育在靠近P-T界线的早三叠世地层中且沉积规模接近,推测应为早三叠世时期同一巨型季风体制下受到频繁风暴作用影响的事件性沉积,并共同揭示了开江-梁平海槽边缘在早三叠世逐渐向广海方向推进、海槽逐渐被填平的沉积过程。 相似文献

四川盆地晚二叠世克拉通内裂陷作用背景下的盐亭—潼南海槽沉积充填特征 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
四川盆地晚二叠世经历了克拉通内裂陷作用以及基底断裂活动,在区域大缓坡背景下,形成"三隆三凹"的古地理格局,发育鄂西—城口海槽、开江—梁平海槽以及盐亭—潼南海槽。在区域背景及动力学分析的基础上,利用钻井、露头、地震资料等论证了盐亭—潼南海槽的几何形态,盐亭—潼南海槽发育在川中地区,整体呈北西-南东向近平行于开江—梁平海槽展布,向西北部广海开口,向东南台地区逐渐变浅并与鄂西—城口海槽连通。利用地震、地质结合的方法,探讨了盐亭—潼南海槽的沉积格局,其以细粒沉积为主,地层厚度薄,其西侧磨溪—中江台缘带以发育生屑滩为主,东侧广安—公山庙台缘带以发育生物礁为主;生物礁滩的分布随着海平面变化具有明显的迁移特征,整体上可以分为两期,并逐渐由两侧台缘带向海槽内迁移。盐亭—潼南海槽的形成、发展及消亡主要受勉略洋扩张-收缩的影响;晚二叠世勉略洋扩张期,四川盆地NW向基底断裂活动,导致川中地区正断活动,形成断陷海槽,即盐亭—潼南海槽。 相似文献

开江—梁平台内海槽东段长兴组层序—岩相古地理特征 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
通过沉积相和层序地层分析,将开江—梁平台内海槽东段长兴组层序划分为一个Ⅱ型三级层序和陆棚边缘（SMST）、海侵（TST）和高位（HST）三个体系域。以体系域为等时地层单元编制的岩相古地理图,表明四川盆地东北部晚二叠世长兴期碳酸盐岩沉积具有槽—台相间的古地理格局,其中:SMST沉积时,研究区自西南向北东方向依次发育有开江—梁平台内海槽和川东北开阔台地相带;TST沉积时,海水由西北往东南向侵进,各种沉积相带发育齐全,在槽—台相间的古地理格局背景上,于槽—台过渡带发育有台地边缘生物礁和浅滩相带,该相带也是最有利储层发育的相带;HST沉积时的沉积特征和展布格局与TST时期基本一致,但因受到晚二叠世末期构造抬升和侵蚀作用影响,所保存的地层很薄,台地边缘生物礁和浅滩基本不发育。 相似文献

四川盆地北部晚二叠世-早三叠世碳酸盐岩斜坡相带沉积特征 总被引：15，自引：0，他引：15
四川盆地东北部宣汉县樊哙以东地区晚二叠世-早三叠世飞仙关期碳酸盐岩台地相-海槽相剖面均出露地表。分隔台地相和海槽相的碳酸盐岩斜坡相的鸡唱剖面距台地边缘相剖面不足１ｋｍ。根据地面露头碳酸盐岩斜坡相带的特征,可在四川盆地北部环开江-梁平海槽的地震反射剖面上有效地识别出碳酸盐岩斜坡相,并划分出浅水、深水碳酸盐沉积区。斜坡相具有明显的倾斜反射,海槽相区大隆组及飞仙关组底部泥岩的强振幅反射在斜坡下部向台地上超并消失。深水相区上二叠统地震波双程反射时间都小于１００ｍｓ且明显短于飞仙关组,而台地相区上二叠统双程反射时间多大于１５０ｍｓ,且与上覆飞仙关组地震波反射时间相近或略长。碳酸盐岩斜坡相倾斜反射的特征表明环海槽的碳酸盐岩斜坡开始发育于晚二叠世中期,并随海侵向碳酸盐岩台地方向迁移,在晚二叠世末期海侵达到顶峰时形成最陡峭的斜坡。飞仙关期斜坡随海平面缓慢下降而逐渐向海槽方向迁移并变缓。晚二叠世末期海槽南端梁平地区斜坡坡度在３°左右,向北东、北西方向变陡,宣汉地区约２０°,苍溪、仪陇地区最高达４０°以上,海槽呈向北逐渐加深的箕形。根据晚二叠世末期斜坡倾斜反射高度计算,开江-梁平海槽的水深在３５０～４５０ｍ左右。苍溪、仪陇及梁平地区飞仙关组斜坡进积明显,宣汉地区的斜坡以加积为主。目前钻遇的最厚鲕滩储集层位于宣汉加积斜坡附近的台地边缘,单井的鲕粒白云岩储集层厚度超过３００ｍ。 相似文献

贵州罗甸二叠纪末生物大灭绝事件后沉积的微生物岩时代和沉积学特征 总被引：9，自引：1，他引：8
二叠纪末期发生的显生宙以来最大的生物绝灭事件,使海洋生态系统和陆地生态系统均受到重创之后,微生物岩广泛分布于全球正常浅海地区。研究认为,扬子地台在二叠纪末期存在一次海平面降低的事件,造成研究区二叠纪地层与早三叠世微生物岩之间存在沉积间断或剥蚀,并使三叠纪牙形石混入二叠纪末期的沉积物中。二叠-三叠系界线位于微生物岩层的底界;微生物岩形成于早三叠世最早期,相当于Hindeodus parvus带,是早三叠世最早期开始的海侵事件为其提供生长所需的可容纳空间。在Isarcicella staeschei带-I. isarcica带早期再次发生相对海平面降低事件,之后海平面开始快速上升。研究区早三叠世早期的微生物岩以凝块构造发育为特征,具有斑状、层状、枝状和网状凝块构造4种典型中型构造。结合前人的工作,认为微生物群落通过生物沉积和物理沉积作用形成球状体,球状体汇聚形成不同的中型凝块构造。研究扬子地台早三叠世凝块石的确切时代和结构、构造类型特征,为准确恢复生物大灭绝事件前后的环境变迁以及生物演化事件与环境变化的相互作用关系提供重要的证据。 相似文献

四川盆地东北部在早三叠世飞仙关期的大部分时间内(飞一—飞三期)属于四周被深水海槽围绕的、受南秦岭海演化拉张断裂而形成的一个碳酸盐孤立台地环境,随四级海平面的升降变化、开江—梁平海槽的逐渐关闭和城口—鄂西海槽的东移,各种孤立台地亚相发生移动和转变,最终在飞三晚期至飞四早期孤立台地转化合并为川东北大型连陆台地。根据区域地质背景和地层沉积特征(岩性、古生物、沉积构造、测井)研究,划分了潟湖(包括蒸发潟湖、局限潟湖、半局限潟湖和点滩)、台地边缘鲕滩、斜坡、海槽4个亚相;建立出孤立台地的沉积立体模式并分析了沉积相从飞一飞三期的展布及演化过程;最后着重剖析了具备后期形成良好储层条件的孤立台地边缘鲕滩相带的迁移性、储层发育不均一性、测井和地震特征,沉积相对鲕滩气藏分布的控制,最后对孤立台地边缘鲕滩相中有望成为新的天然气勘探突破区进行了地震横向分布预测。 相似文献

开江—梁平海槽的形成、发展和消亡过程对川东地区长兴组生物礁分布有着明显的控制作用,因而决定了生物礁气藏的类型、规模及其分布。通过露头、岩心观察和薄片鉴定手段,对台地边缘生物礁内部结构、发育特征的详细研究,表明台地边缘生物礁在海槽周缘的不同部位差别较大,按照生物礁发育规模,可将其分为台缘点礁、台缘丘礁和台缘堤礁,系统总结了这3种生物礁的生长演化阶段。其中台缘点礁主要发育于研究区环开江—梁平海槽的南端,发育于长一或长二到长三期,主要由障积礁组成,礁体发育时间短、发育规模最小,礁体发育最为简单,主要经历了3个演化阶段;台缘丘礁发育于研究区环开江—梁平海槽的中端-北端,发育于长二—长三期,大部分生物礁延续到了长三末期,礁体发育时间相对较长、发育规模相对较大,主要经历了5个演化阶段;台缘堤礁主要发育于鄂西海槽台地边缘或开江—梁平海槽最北端的川东北地区,礁体发育于长一时期或长二初期,一直延续到长三末期,礁体发育时间最长、规模最大,礁体最为复杂,经历了5个演化阶段。 相似文献

四川仪陇—平昌地区,特别是环开江-梁平海槽区域的长兴组—飞仙关组蕴藏着大量油气资源,但其三级层序划分方案有待统一。基于最新的钻井岩心、测井、野外露头资料综合分析,识别出岩性岩相突变界面及局部暴露不整合界面2种Ⅱ型层序界面,将仪陇—平昌地区的长兴组-飞仙关组划分为4个三级层序,建立了层序地层格架。该区目的层主要发育典型的镶边台地沉积体系,至晚期海槽消失,发育陆表海型台地体系开阔台地及蒸发台地。长兴组沉积期,开江-梁平海槽范围逐渐扩大,高位域是生物礁发育的有利阶段,由于SQ2晚期海平面急速下降,其生物礁规模较SQ1时期有所减小;飞仙关组沉积早期海平面快速上升,鲕粒滩难以形成,随后进入整体海退阶段,至SQ3高位域时期,鲕粒滩连片发育。层序划分方案与礁、滩储层发育特征匹配,能够应用于下一步油气勘探。 相似文献

自王一刚发现开江-梁平陆棚后,作者对其东南延伸部位进行了追踪。通过地表露头剖面及钻井、地震资料等研究后认为,长兴期开江-梁平陆棚自宣汉达县、梁平及开江地区向东南延伸至建南地区,称之为建南陆棚,该陆棚可能与东部的鄂西陆棚相连。建南陆棚与开江-梁平陆棚既有相似性也有重大差别。相似性表现在两方面,一是沉积物岩性相似,都为泥晶灰岩;二是陆棚边缘都发育生物礁,生物礁顶部发育生屑滩白云岩储层。差别主要体现在四个方面:一是水体深度,建南陆棚水浅,开江-梁平陆棚水深,深水与浅水的交汇处在涪陵地区中石化二维地震剖面线TB16与TB17之间;二是斜坡坡度,开江-梁平陆棚边缘斜坡坡度陡,建南陆棚斜坡坡度缓;三是生物礁规模,开江-梁平陆棚边缘生物礁、白云岩储层厚度大,建南陆棚边缘生物礁、白云岩储层厚度小;四是陆棚发育时间,建南陆棚仅发育于长兴早中期,晚期因填平补齐而消失,开江-梁平陆棚发育于整个长兴期。建南陆棚与周边构成碳酸盐缓坡沉积模式,生物礁规模较小,生物礁是优质储发育的主要地区。 相似文献

鄂东南地区早三叠世大冶群为一套以碳酸岩为主的地层。在发育较全的阳新龙港新屋铺剖面可以划分出10个岩性段。本文着重探讨早三叠世中、晚期的沉积相特征。早三叠世鄂东南地区为下扬子海域的一部分,推测早三叠世早期奉区与赣西北为统一的开放海,可能与分隔华北和扬子大陆的秦岭-大别山海域相连。沉积物以深水盆地相和陆棚相泥质页岩和灰岩为主,夹风暴成因的砾屑灰岩和重力流成因的碎屑灰岩。早三叠世中期,大别山、九岭山古陆成为局限盆地,发育潮坪、渴湖、障壁丘和鲕粒滩;晚期因周期性的海平面变化导致形成局限浅水盆地、蒸发岩沉积和深水盆地泥岩和重力流沉积。这些变化与Haq等人(1988)提出的全球海平面变化曲线相吻合。 相似文献

The Cablac Limestone, widely recorded in Timor, has its type area on Cablac Mountain where it was regarded as a Lower Miocene shallow-marine carbonate-platform succession. The Bahaman-like facies placed in the Cablac Limestone are now known to belong to the Upper Triassic–Lower Jurassic rather than the Lower Miocene. On the northern slopes of Cablac Mountain, a crush breccia, formerly regarded as the basal conglomerate of the formation, is now considered to have developed along a high-angle fault separating Banda Terrane units of Asian affinity from an overthrust limestone stack containing units belonging to the Gondwana and Australian-Margin Megasequences. The Cablac breccia includes rock fragments that were probably derived locally from these tectonostratigraphic units after terrane emplacement and overthrusting. Clasts include peloid and oolitic limestones of the Upper Triassic–Lower Jurassic derived from the Gondwana Megasequence, deep-water carbonate pelagites of the Cretaceous and Paleogene derived from the Australian-Margin Megasequence, Upper Oligocene–Lower Miocene (Te Letter Stage) shallow-water limestone derived from the Banda Terrane, and a younger Neogene calcarenite containing clasts of mixed tectonostratigraphic affinity. There is no evidence for significant sedimentary or tectonic transport of clasts that form the breccia. The clast types and the present understanding of the geological history of Timor suggest that the crush breccia formed late in the Plio-Pleistocene uplift history of Timor. It is not the basal conglomerate of the Cablac Limestone. However, the clasts of an Upper Oligocene–Lower Miocene limestone found in the breccia suggest that a shallow-marine limestone unit of this age either outcrops in the region and has not been detected in the field, or has been eroded completely during late Neogene uplift. The clasts are similar in age and lithology to an Upper Oligocene–Lower Miocene formation that unconformably overlies a metamorphic complex in the Booi region of West Timor, similar to the Lolotoi Metamorphic Complex (Banda Terrane) that is juxtaposed against the crush breccia of Cablac Mountain. The Cablac Limestone at its type area includes a mixed assemblage of carbonate rock units ranging in age from Triassic to Plio-Pleistocene and representing diverse facies. As a formation, the name “Cablac Limestone” should be discarded for a Cenozoic unit. The Upper Oligocene–Lower Miocene shallow-water limestone unit that is typified by outcrops in the Booi region of West Timor, and that has contributed to clasts in the Cablac breccia, is informally named the Booi limestone. It is considered part of the allochthonous Banda Terrane of Asian affinity and represents the only shallow-marine Lower Miocene unit known from Timor. The only other Miocene sedimentary unit known from Timor includes carbonate pelagites – designated the Kolbano beds – probably deposited on an Australian continental terrace at water depths between 1000 and 3000 m. On the northeastern edge of Cablac Mountain, oolitic limestone and associated units of the Gondwana Megasequence, the Kolbano beds of the Australian-Margin Megasequence, and the Booi limestone and associated metasediments of the Banda Terrane were juxtaposed by a Plio-Pleistocene high-angle fault along which the Cablac crush breccia formed. 相似文献

δ13C data from Tethyan sections provide evidence of profound changes in the carbon cycle during the Lower Triassic. Sections from the Panthalassa realm were investigated to establish whether these variations are also present there. In the Jurassic accretionary wedges in Japan, exotic blocks having a Panthalassan affinity, have been incorporated. The majority of the blocks are pelagic cherts but rare shallow-water carbonates are also present. We present a δ13C study on the Lower Triassic of a shallow-water carbonate succession deposited on a mid-oceanic seamount and accreted to the Chichibu Belt, Japan. Two sections have been measured at Kamura, central Kyushu Island. The carbon isotope curve shows depleted values across the Permian–Triassic boundary (PTB), subsequently followed by an increase to heavier values into the Dienerian, culminating in a maximum of almost +4‰ V-PDB, before a steep drop at a stratigraphic gap. Low values are recorded in the Smithian, but rise to enriched δ13C values > +3.5‰ near the Smithian–Spathian boundary. The observed trend of the stable carbon isotope curve from Japanese sediments mirrors the curves derived from sections in the Tethys (e.g. Italy, Iran, Turkey, Oman and the South China Nanpanjing Basin). Our results support the interpretation of this curve as representing a global trend across the PTB and in the Lower Triassic, although some distinct features are absent around the Dienerian/Smithian boundary. Profound variations of the carbon isotope curve in the Lower Triassic are presented for the first time from a marine section outside of the Tethys. They indicate severe, global changes in the Lower Triassic carbon cycle, and the causative processes must have significantly contributed to the delayed biotic recovery after the PTB. Large amounts of carbon were shifted between carbon reservoirs, most probably between shallow- and deep-ocean waters, and/or ocean and sediment. Anoxia followed by overturn of the ocean water masses may have been the mechanism which quickly altered ecological conditions in the ocean leading to variable availability of nutrients and oxygen, and changes in isotope composition of the available carbon in the surface waters that was incorporated in the precipitated carbonate. 相似文献

本文对全球范围内23个典型的研究程度较高的晚长兴期露头进行了研究,逐一检查了晚长兴期白云岩前身沉积的沉积相,结果发现所有白云岩的前身都是浅水相的(除汉中梁山一个剖面外)。相反,目前已经研究的深水相上二叠统碳酸盐沉积物都没有发生白云岩化。这一结果表明,世界范围内上二叠统顶部白云岩的形成机制可能都与海平面下降有关,很可能是蒸发成因的浓缩卤水使沉积物发生白云岩化。据此推断,四川盆地东北部长兴组白云岩也应当是此种成因。 相似文献

早-中三叠世贵阳花溪地区位于浅水碳酸盐台地向深水盆地的过渡带,各沉积体系域特征明显,特别是低水位期碳酸盐角砾岩楔发育。野外调查发现研究区共发育4期低水位碳酸盐角砾岩楔,说明该区在早-中三叠世至少经历了4次明显的海平面变化。碳酸盐角砾岩楔的位置迁移反应了台地边缘位置的迁移和海平面相对变化的大小,其中谷立角砾岩舌相对于其他角砾岩楔向台地方向延伸距离最远,代表了台地边缘位置向台地方向迁移的距离最远,张家湾角砾岩楔代表了安尼初期的海平面快速下降。通过角砾岩楔的沉积特征和各岩石地层单元的几何接触关系判断出该区碳酸盐台地前缘演化过程：缓斜坡型台缘→沉积型台缘→礁镶跌积型台缘。 相似文献

The severe mass extinction of marine and terrestrial organisms at the end of the Permian Period (c. 251 Ma) was accompanied by a rapid (<100 000 years and possibly <10 000 years) negative excursion of c. 3‰ in the δ13C of the global surface oceans and atmosphere that persisted for some 500 000 years into the Early Triassic. Simulations with an ocean–atmosphere/carbon-cycle model suggest that the isotope excursion can be explained by collapse of ocean primary productivity, and changes in the delivery and cycling of carbon in the oceans and on land. Model results suggest that severe reduction of marine productivity led to an increase in surface-ocean dissolved inorganic carbon and a rapid, short-term increase in atmospheric pCO2 (from a Late Permian base of 850 ppm to c. 2500 ppm). Increase in surface ocean alkalinity may have stimulated the widespread microbial and abiotic shallow-water carbonate deposition seen in the earliest Triassic. The model is also consistent with a long-term (>1 Ma) decrease in sedimentary burial of organic carbon in the early Triassic. 相似文献

Melanges play a key role in the interpretation of orogenic belts, including those that have experienced deformation and metamorphism during continental collision. This is exemplified by a Palaeozoic tectonic-sedimentary melange (part of the Konya complex) that is exposed beneath a regionally metamorphosed carbonate platform near the city of Konya in central Anatolia. The Konya complex as a whole comprises three units: a dismembered, latest Silurian–Early Carboniferous carbonate platform, a Carboniferous melange made up of sedimentary and igneous blocks in a sedimentary matrix (also known as the Hal?c? Group or S?zma Group), and an overlying Volcanic-sedimentary Unit (earliest Permian?). The Palaeozoic carbonates accumulated on a subsiding carbonate platform that bordered the northern margin of Gondwana, perhaps as an off-margin unit. The matrix of the melange was mainly deposited as turbidites, debris flows and background terrigenous muds. Petrographic evidence shows that the clastic sediments were mostly derived from granitic and psammitic/pelitic metamorphic rocks, typical of upper continental crust. Both extension- and contraction-related origins of the melange can be considered. However, we interpret the melange as a Carboniferous subduction complex that formed along the northern margin of Gondwana, related to partial closure of Palaeotethys. Blocks and slices of Upper Palaeozoic radiolarian chert, basic igneous rocks and shallow-water carbonates were accreted and locally reworked by gravity processes. Large (up to km-sized) blocks and slices of shallow-water limestone were emplaced in response to collision of the Palaeozoic Carbonate Platform with the subduction zone. The overlying Volcanic-sedimentary Unit (earliest Permian?) comprises alkaline lava flows, interbedded with volcaniclastic debris flows and turbidites, volcanogenic shales and tuff. The complex as a whole is overlain by shallow-water, mixed carbonate–siliciclastic sediments of mainly Late Permian age that accumulated on a regional-scale shelf adjacent to Gondwana. Successions pass transitionally into Lower Triassic rift-related shallow-water carbonates and terrigenous sandstones in the southwest of the area. In contrast, Triassic sediments in the southeast overlie the melange unconformably and pass upwards from non-marine clastic sediments into shallow-marine calcareous sediments of Mid-Triassic age, marking the base of a regional Mesozoic carbonate platform. During the latest Cretaceous–Early Cenozoic the entire assemblage subducted northwards and underwent high pressure/low temperature metamorphism and polyphase folding as a part of the regional Anatolide unit. 相似文献
