贺兰山地区中元古代微生物席成因构造   总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2       下载免费PDF全文
贺兰山中段中元古界黄旗口组石英砂岩中发现丰富的微生物席成因构造(MISS),包括由微生物席生长、破坏和腐烂过程形成的3种类型、9种不同形态的构造;与华北大红峪组发现的同类构造在成因类型与多样性方面具有很强的可对比性。砂岩中发育双向交错层理、冲洗层理、高角度单斜层理系和波痕,泥质粉砂岩夹层中发育波痕与泥裂,表明微生物席主要发育于潮间带上部至潮上带下部环境。MISS构造在华北地台长城系下部砂岩中的广泛存在表明在16 Ga前以蓝细菌为主的微生物群在环潮坪碎屑环境也很活跃,可能代表了微生物由海洋向陆地环境发展的过渡阶段。具光合作用功能的制氧蓝细菌的蓬勃发展可能是引发中元古代海洋化学条件发生转变、含氧量增高的重要原因,并为真核生物及宏观藻类的兴起创造了条件。研究表明,黄旗口组与华北大红峪组大致同时,反映了Columbia超大陆裂解期华北地台开始拉伸—张裂、缓慢沉降的构造古地理背景。  相似文献

河北兴隆一带的中元古界长城系大红峪组(1 650~1 600 Ma)以潮下坪灰白色厚层块状细粒石英砂岩为主,在砂岩层面上产出丰富的微生物成因构造(MISS).详细描述了MISS的沉积特征,并对其成因进行了初步分析.这些微生物成因构造可能反映了华北中元古代浅海潮坪环境被大面积分布的微生物席所覆盖,微生物席对砂质沉积物表面起到有效的保护作用,在一定程度上降低了沉积物的侵蚀和改造作用,从而影响基本沉积作用过程.大红峪组砂岩层面上发育的MISS为探索元古宙浅海环境微生物-沉积作用关系提供了研究材料,对这些MISS的深入研究可以加深对元古宙碎屑沉积体系的理解,从而促进微生物席沉积学的发展.  相似文献

通过野外观察,发现贺兰山中段长城系黄旗口组中发育大量的软沉积变形构造,主要包括液化砂岩墙(脉)、液化水压破碎构造和液化角砾岩、负荷构造、砂岩球和砂岩枕构造、砂岩串珠状构造、包卷层理(液化卷曲变形)、阶梯状微断层等。室内显微镜下观察发现,石英砂岩成分成熟度相对较高,但结构成熟度较低,颗粒多呈次圆状-圆状,粒径大小不等,碎屑颗粒间有泥质混入,泥质多呈不规则脉状穿插在砂岩中,显微镜下也见微逆断层切过纹层。沉积环境分析结果显示,黄旗口组发育脊状波痕、小型交错层理、水平层理、泥裂等沉积构造,指示沉积时水体较浅,沉积环境为滨-浅海。认为黄旗口组中的软沉积变形构造不是由上覆重荷引起,可能为古地震成因。在黄旗口组中第一段下部识别出4个地震事件层,推测黄旗口组沉积时早期地壳运动相对活跃,晚期渐趋稳定。地震岩的出现可能与贺兰裂陷槽拉张-裂陷的构造背景有关。  相似文献

微生物活动导致铁氧化被认为是前寒武纪铁建造和红层形成的重要机制之一,但是地质记录中却鲜有相关证据。针对这一问题,本研究选择华北古元古代末的大红峪组微生物席成因构造(MISS)为研究对象,通过沉积学和矿物学的综合研究,揭示微生物活动在前寒武纪铁循环中的关键作用。研究表明:华北井陉大红峪组发育大量以砂裂为代表的MISS,指示当时潮间带至潮上带广泛发育微生物席;非微生物席层发育大量原位和近距离搬运的海绿石,指示低氧富铁的浅海和孔隙水化学条件,而相邻微生物席层则发生了显著的赤铁矿化,指示相对更氧化的沉积环境。考虑到微生物席层与相邻(厘米级)非微生物席层间微生物活动与矿物组成的明显差异,笔者提出微生物活动可能是导致当时低氧铁化浅海环境局部铁氧化的重要机制。本研究提供了微生物参与Fe2+离子氧化的重要证据,对揭示前寒武纪红层和大规模铁建造形成机制具有启示意义。  相似文献

在山西黎城县西井镇彭庄至大井盘公路旁剖面以及黄崖洞景区发育大量的微生物成因构造(MISS),多发育在砂岩表面。由于构造形态奇特,被误以为各种遗迹化石或是不规则的泥裂构造。依据其形态特征、成因构造和前人分类方案,将研究区此类构造分为3种类型,即微生物席生长构造、微生物席破坏构造和微生物席腐烂构造,以及9个不同形态构造,即小瘤状突起、圆顶大瘤状突起、不规则侧向生长脊、大脊状生长构造、纺锤状脱水裂痕、多边形网状脱水裂痕、曲形脱水裂痕、微生物席砂片、砂火山构造,对9种不同形态的MISS进行了详细的论述。对研究区微生物成因构造(MISS)的成因进行了探讨,与豫西鲁山地区、贺兰山苏峪口地区、北京南口地区、河北兴隆地区发育的MISS及地层特征进行类比,认为MISS对华北地台中元古代地层对比以及古环境研究有重要的指导意义。  相似文献

微生物席成因构造(microbial induced sedimentary structures,MISS)是由微生物与沉积物相互作用形成的生物-沉积构造,表现形式有变余波痕、皱饰构造、微生物席碎片、纺锤状或次圆状收缩裂缝等。首次在华北地台东北部辽宁兴城中元古代初期常州沟组底部粗碎屑岩交错层理面上发现了大量的微生物砂质颗粒,在中元古代底部粗碎屑岩中发现大量微生物砂质碎片。这一发现对于了解华北地台MISS的活跃时代以及恢复中元古代早期粗碎屑岩的形成古环境有重要的科学意义,特别是为华北地台古元古代、中元古代的地层划分与对比提供一定的生物地层学参考。发现的微生物砂质颗粒大小在0.1~0.2mm,形态以球形为主。这些微生物砂质颗粒形成于静水环境的潮上带或泥坪之中的微生物席底,在剧烈的构造运动以及海侵初期高频的海平面运动中被风暴、海啸等灾难性事件破坏,并随着退潮水流被搬运至发育交错层理的潮道区域,与粗碎屑物质一起沉积。这些被风暴破坏的微生物砂质颗粒在搬运过程中被磨圆并产生一定的分选。  相似文献

华北地台中元古界主要由环潮坪石英砂岩、浅海碳酸盐岩和浅海—泻湖相暗色页岩3种沉积相组合构成,以陆表海浅水碳酸盐岩占主导。碳酸盐岩中除含有丰富的微古植物、宏观藻类和微生物建隆外,还发育大量的微生物成因构造(MISS)和微生物诱发的碳酸盐沉淀(MMCP)。微生物席和MISS构造在高于庄组上部(约1.6 Ga)和雾迷山组下部(约1.45 Ga)碳酸盐岩中尤为发育,表明活跃的微生物活动和高有机质产量。在石化微生物席中,发现有丝状、球状细菌化石和草莓状黄铁矿;围岩中发现有针状文石、花瓣状重晶石、放射状菱铁矿、铁白云石和葡萄状碳酸盐胶结物等多种自生碳酸盐矿物,指示甲烷厌氧氧化(AOM)导致的自生碳酸盐沉淀。中元古代的温暖气候和海洋分层、缺氧、硫化条件有利于微生物的高生产量和高有机质埋藏率。气隆构造和核形石状碳酸盐结核反映浅埋藏条件下活跃的成烷作用和甲烷排放,围岩和MMCP中富沥青质。华北地台中元古界富微生物席碳酸盐岩有良好的生烃潜力,有可能形成重要的烃源岩。据微生物席、MISS构造及MMCP的研究,初步估算华北地台中元古代碳酸盐岩的概略生烃潜力约为10×108t石油当量。  相似文献

微生物成因沉积构造(MISS)是微生物在沉积物和水界面与沉积环境相互作用,并通过微生物的生长、新陈代谢、破坏、腐烂等过程在沉积物中留下的各种生物作用的沉积构造,对于恢复古沉积环境具有重要的指示意义,也是近年来遗迹学研究的热点。河南济源地区下寒武统辛集组的石英砂岩层面上发现了大量的微生物成因沉积构造,通过宏观形态描述及微观分析,可识别出微生物席生长构造和微生物席破坏构造2种类型,微生物席生长构造中可见肯尼亚构造和细小网状生长脊,微生物席破坏构造以多边形脱水砂裂、曲形脱水砂裂及纺锤状脱水砂裂最为常见。环境分析结果表明,这些微生物成因沉积构造主要发育在潮间带,表明潮间带是微生物生长的良好环境。对微生物成因沉积构造成因机理的模拟表明后生动物的缺乏、砂质基底、光照、水动力条件及周期性暴露等因素对于其发育和保存都有至关重要的影响,潮下带-潮间带过渡区域发育的纺锤状脱水砂裂形成的主控因素为光照条件及上覆快速沉积物的压力,而潮间带多边形脱水砂裂形成的主控因素是周期性暴露的影响。  相似文献

豫西地区中元古代汝阳群砂岩中普遍发育微生物形成的沉积构造(Microbial Induced Sedimentary Strutures),简称MISS构造,这些MISS构造在过去通常被误认为前寒武纪后生动物遗迹化石。本文对豫西地区中元古代汝阳群MISS构造的形态、结构及显微构造特征进行了详细地分析研究,结果表明该区发育的MISS构造有4种类型:多边形网状裂隙构造、纺锤形裂隙、鸟足形裂隙和典型的正弦曲线型Manchuriophycus构造。豫西地区中元古代汝阳群微生物形成的沉积构造的发现,不仅表明这些砂岩层面上曾经存在微生物席活动,对今后与一些微生物席活动有关的沉积构造的研究有着重要的借鉴意义,为过去被误认为各种遗迹化石的修定提供了证据,而且对恢复前寒武纪沉积古地理具有重要的意义。  相似文献

微生物成因沉积构造(MISS),是微生物与沉积物相互作用的结果,可作为地质时期微生物群活动的重要标识。至目前为止,MISS主要发育在前寒武纪浅海潮间带上部至潮上带下部及显生宙生物大灭绝后微生物繁盛时期的浅水环境。文中豫西宜阳刘家沟组发育了形态多样的MISS,主要为微生物席破坏相关构造,尤其以多边形网状和纺锤状脱水裂痕最多。该研究区发育的多种MISS类型,指示了该区域的一些古环境特征。  相似文献

辽宁兴城中元古界常州沟组砂岩中微生物成因沉积构造   总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1  
辽宁兴城夹山中元古界常州沟组潮间带相砂岩层面产出裂隙状构造。这些构造由0.8~3 cm长的纺锤状短裂隙和超过7 cm的长延伸裂隙组成,孤立为主,部分相连。通过与类似的层面裂隙和现代微生物席干缩裂隙的比较分析,将其解释为微生物成因沉积构造分类体系中的收缩裂隙(Shrinkage crack),并参考席裂多边形(Mat-crack polygon)的术语称其为席裂(Mat-crack)。微生物席在脱水不充分的情况下形成纺锤状席裂,脱水充分的情况下形成席裂多边形。这些构造在常州沟组的出现,表明微生物生态系统在华北克拉通中元古代海侵初期已经开始影响古海岸带的地质作用,这对于恢复燕山裂陷槽盆地的生物—沉积作用和环境演化具有重要意义。  相似文献

The well-preserved Mesoproterozoic succession in the North China platform consists mainly of three llthological associations including peritidal quartz sandstone, shallow marine and lagoonai dark to black shales, and shallow epeiric carbonates, with a total thickness of up to 8 000 m. In addition to well-documented microplants, macroalgae, and microbial buildups, abundant microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) and mat-related sediments have been recognized in these rocks. Intensive microbial mat layers and MISS are especially well preserved in the carbonates of the upper Gaoyuzhuang (高于庄) (ca. 1.5 Ga) and lower Wumishan (雾迷山) (ca. 1.45 Ga) formations, Indicating diversified microbial activities and a high organic production. In these petrified blomats, putative microbial fossils (both coccoidal and filamentous) and framboidal pyrites have been identified. The abundance of authigenic carbonate minerals in the host rocks, such as, acicular aragnnites, rosette barites, radial siderites, ankerites, and botryoidai carbonate cements, suggests authigenlc carbonate precipitation from anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) under anoxic/euxinic conditions. Warm climate and anoxic/euxinic conditions in the Mesoproterozoic oceans may have facilitated high microbial productivity and organic burial in sediments. Although authigenic carbonate cements may record carbonate precipitation from anaerobic methane oxidation, gas blister (or dome) structures may indicate gas release from active methanogenesls during shallow burial Bituminous fragments in mat-related carbonates also provide evidence for hydrocarbon generation. Under proper conditions, the Mesoproterozoic mat-rich carbonates will have the potential for hydrocarbon generation and serve as source rocks. On the basis of petrified biomats, a rough estimation suggests that the Mesoproterozoic carbonates of the North China platform might have a hydrocarbon production potential in theorder of 10×108t.  相似文献

埃迪卡拉纪以来,微生物与后生动物之间呈此消彼长的关系,但在寒武纪苗岭世却出现了微生物成因沉积构造和后生动物扰动构造短暂共存的现象。笔者在豫西馒头组二段下部识别出包括皱饰构造与微生物席裂构造在内的2种微生物成因沉积构造,对皱饰构造与遗迹化石的共生关系进行了分类,建立了席上足辙迹(Monomorphichnus henanensis)与牧食迹(Jinningichnus badaowanensis)、席下水平漫游迹(Planolites montanus)、席下深层泥岩中生物扰动共3种微生物席与后生动物的共生模式和生态演化模型。上述研究表明,具有特殊环境耐受性的“机会主义”动物在食物来源较为宽松的潮坪环境中与微生物席共存,这种微生物席与后生动物短暂而“和谐”的共存关系不仅延续了埃迪卡拉纪双方的部分共生特征,且在以混合底为主导的显生宙生态环境中得到了进一步变化与发展。  相似文献

The Tandilia Belt in northeast Argentina includes a Neoproterozoic sequence of sediments (Sierras Bayas Group), in which the Cerro Largo Formation, ca. 750 Ma in age, forms a siliciclastic, shallowing upward succession of subtidal nearshore to tidal flat deposits. Trace fossils Palaeophycus isp. and Didymaulichnus isp. have been described from the upper part of this succession. Specific sedimentary structures consisting of round-crested bulges, arranged in a reticulate pattern, and networks of curved cracks are associated with the trace fossils. These structures are considered to be related to epibenthic microbial mats that once colonized the sediment surface. They reflect stages of mat growth and mat destruction, if compared to analogous structures in modern cyanobacterial mats of peritidal, siliciclastic depositional systems. Also the trace fossils are interpreted as mat-related structures, partly forming components of networks of shrinkage cracks, partly representing the upturned and involute margins of shrinkage cracks or circular openings in desiccating and shrinking, thin microbial mats.

The definition of Didymaulichnus miettensis Young as a Terminal Proterozoic trace fossil is questioned, and it may be considered to interpret the ‘bilobate’ structure as the upturned, opposite margins of microbial shrinkage cracks which have been brought back into contact by compaction after burial.  相似文献

微生物通过自身生命活动可以在硅质碎屑物上形成微生物席.微生物席具有黏结性、柔韧性、抗剥蚀性等特征,与物理营力相互作用可以形成一系列独特的原生沉积构造,即微生物诱发的沉积构造(MISS).形成和保存MISS的基本条件包括经历较低的变质程度、发育于海退—海侵的转折点、出现在有利的“微生物席沉积相”中.微生物席本身很难保存在岩石序列中,所以识别石化MISS具有一定难度.与现代环境中发育的MISS具有相似的几何形态和包含古代微生物席组构是识别石化MISS的有效途径.微生物生长、稳化、障积、捕获和黏结作用可以形成形态各异的MISS,根据这些作用和特征可以将其划分为5大类17小类.对保存在硅质碎屑岩中的微生物诱发的原生沉积构造和现代潮坪中发育的MISS进行综合对比研究,有利于微生物席沉积学的发展,也为进一步理解古代硅质碎屑岩沉积环境提供重要线索.  相似文献

The Mesoproterozoic Tieling Formation, near Jixian, northern China, contains thick beds of vertically branched, laterally elongate, columnar stromatolites. Carbonate mud is the primary component of both the stromatolites and their intervening matrix. Mud abundance is attributed to water column ‘whiting’ precipitation stimulated by cyanobacterial photosynthesis. Neomorphic microspar gives the stromatolites a ‘streaky’ microfabric and small mud flakes are common in the matrix. The columns consist of low‐relief, mainly non‐enveloping, laminae that show erosive truncation and well‐defined repetitive lamination. In plan view, the columns form disjunct elongate ridges <10 cm wide separated by narrow matrix‐filled runnels. The stromatolite surfaces were initially cohesive, rather than rigid, and prone to scour, and are interpreted as current aligned microbial mats that trapped carbonate mud. The pervasive ridge–runnel system suggests scale‐dependent biophysical feedback between: (i) carbonate mud supply; (ii) current duration, strength and direction; and (iii) growth and trapping by prolific mat growth. Together, these factors determined the size, morphology and arrangement of the stromatolite columns and their laminae, as well as their branching patterns, alignment and ridge–runnel spacing. Ridge–runnel surfaces resemble ripple mark patterns, but whether currents were parallel and/or normal to stromatolite alignment remains unclear. The formation and preservation of Tieling columns required plentiful supply of carbonate mud, mat‐building microbes well‐adapted to cope with this abundant sediment, and absence of both significant early lithification and bioturbation. These factors were time limited, and Tieling stromatolites closely resemble coeval examples in the Belt‐Purcell Supergroup of Laurentia. The dynamic interactions between mat growth, currents and sediment supply that determined the shape of Tieling columns contributed to the morphotypical diversity that characterizes mid–late Proterozoic branched stromatolites.  相似文献

Ubiquitous microorganisms, especially cyanobacteria preferably grow on the sediment surface thereby producing microbial mats. In the absence of grazers and bioturbators, microbial mat is a unique feature of the Proterozoic. Most of the papers so far published described a wide variety of bed surface microbial mat structures with rare illustrations from sections perpendicular to bedding. Nonetheless, bed surface exposures are relatively rare in rock records. This limitation of bed surface exposures in rock records suggest that a study of microbial mats in bed-across sections is needed. The 60 m thick coastal marine interval of the Sonia Sandstone Formation is bounded between two terrestrial intervals, a transgressive lag at the base and an unconformity at the top, and has been chosen for exploration of microbial mat structures in bed-across sections. A wide variety of microbial mat-induced structures in bed-across sections are preserved within the coastal interval of the Sonia Sandstone. Though many of these structures are similar in some aspects with bed surface structures, some of those presented here are new. The palaeogeographic range of these microbial structures extends from supralittoral to neritic. Diagenetic alterations of microbial mats produce pyrite and those zones are suitable for the preservation of microbial remains. SEM and EDAX analyses show fossil preservation of filamentous microbial remains that confirm the presence of microbial mats within the coastal interval of the Sonia Sandstone. Effects of proliferation of microbial mats in the siliciclastic depositional setting are numerous. The mat-cover on sediment surfaces hinders reworking and/or erosion of the sediments thereby increases the net sedimentation rate. Successive deposition and preservation of thick microbial mat layer under reducing environments should have a great potential for hydrocarbon production and preservation and therefore these Proterozoic formations could be a target for exploration.  相似文献
