在台湾峡谷水深3284 m处全长699 cm的HD133柱状样中共识别出1个厚沙层（厚127 cm）和8个薄沙层（单层厚度8-15 cm）,这些沙层中含大量浅水底栖有孔虫,反映其为来自浅水区的陆源物质以重力流方式形成的沉积物。然而,单用重力流无法对这些沙层的成因作出合理的解释：该样中的厚沙层以中沙为主,平均粒径范围1-2Φ,薄沙层以粉沙-细沙为主,平均粒径范围3-4Φ;沙层的分选系数小于2.5,局部接近于1,分选好-极好,长石/石英比值低,具有很高的结构成熟度和成分成熟度;在粒度特征上,其频率分布曲线为单峰,累积概率曲线为2-3段式,在C-M图上厚沙层的样点落在牵引流区域;特别是在垂向序列上,沙层顶底呈突变接触;以上特征均表现为明显的牵引流特征。此外,在柱状样中发现含有太平洋深层水所特有的底栖有孔虫Bulimina aculeata、Planulina wuellerstorfi、Eggerella bradyi种类,且大量生物壳呈棱角状破碎,表明该样在沉积过程中受到太平洋深层水的入侵,这些证据支持了前人关于研究区内可能发育活跃的底流作用的推断。综合分析认为HD133柱状样中的沙层是重力流和底流交互作用的产物。 相似文献

南海北部陆架中全新世沉积记录及古环境意义 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
通过分析珠江口外陆架C069孔沉积柱样的粒度、黏土矿物、主量元素及底栖有孔虫,来研究南海北部中全新世晚期古环境演化。4.2 ka前为全新世大暖期后期,气候湿润,珠江口外陆架受大量的珠江淡水影响,导致C069孔位置的水动力条件较强,形成下段粒度较粗的碎屑沉积物,高岭石含量较高,低的MgO/Al2O3比值,以及受冲淡水影响形成的底栖有孔虫。由于受4.2 ka的极冷事件的影响,C069孔上段的沉积环境受珠江冲淡水影响减小,水动力条件减弱,沉积物粒度变细,高岭石含量降低,MgO/Al2O3比值增大,形成正常浅水环境的底栖有孔虫。4.2 ka以后,台湾来源物质的贡献增多,导致沉积物中伊利石和绿泥石的含量增多,伊利石结晶度和化学指数值都明显变小。 相似文献

选取南海北部珠江口盆地白云迁移峡谷群中典型陆坡限制型峡谷为研究对象,利用重力活塞样在峡谷头部晚更新世-全新世沉积地层中揭示出了5个泥质砂层,其砂粒成分包括石英、生物碎屑和较高含量的有孔虫。研究发现,这些富有孔虫砂层不仅表现出底部侵蚀、定年倒置等重力流沉积特征,也表现出了明显的牵引流特征,包括:1）累积概率曲线图与C-M图显示砂层中的粗粒沉积物表现出滚动搬运过程;2）滚动和悬浮组分颗粒分选性较好;3）部分位置可见顶、底岩性突变面和双向交错层理。综合以上证据认为,南海活跃的深水底流对先期重力流沉积的改造可能是形成这些砂层的内在机制。同时,结合三维地震揭示的峡谷内沉积物波以及南海现今水流实测数据,认为峡谷内改造沉积物的底流主要来源于活跃的内波内潮作用,而砂层层理厚度的周期性变化与浮游有孔虫的大量富集可能均是该过程的直接体现。 相似文献

底栖有孔虫和粒度分析结果表明,南黄海北部DLC70 3孔（36°38′15″ N,123°32′56″ E,水深7200 m）7120 m长的柱状样保存了130 ka以来的沉积记录。依据349个样品的底栖有孔虫丰度和特征种的分布,结合岩性粒度变化,可识别9个底栖有孔虫组合,对应5个海相层和4个陆相至过渡相层;结合AMS14C和OSL测年数据建立了钻孔晚更新世以来的年代地层,可以与南黄海其他钻孔的地层进行对比。应用属种组合和不同生态种的丰度变化,探讨了研究区末次间冰期以来的古环境变化,认为海平面频繁波动是该地区不同成因类型地层从陆相、潮间、滨岸、滨海、近岸浅海、到浅海反复演替的关键。孔段2040~2780 m（MIS3早期）和5500~7120 m（MIS5e）的底栖有孔虫优势种是 Buccella frigida和Protelphidium tuberculatum,代表了与目前相似的冷涡边缘的冷水环境,指示南黄海古冷水团在MIS5e和MIS3早期高海平面时期已经存在。 相似文献

深水单向迁移水道-堤岸沉积体系特征及形成过程 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
南海珠江口盆地白云深水区及西非下刚果盆地发育一种深水单向迁移水道-堤岸沉积体系,主要包括轴部沉积、侧积体沉积、滑塌/块状搬运复合体沉积、堤岸沉积,另见阶地。该沉积体系水道整体具有单向迁移特征,为重力流和等深流共同作用而成,水道迁移方向与等深流运动方向大致相同。其影响因素包括重力流及等深流相对能量的大小、物源、海平面升降、气候、地形、科氏力及陆架宽度等。阶地成因可分为3种,即重力流侵蚀侧积体成因、沉积失衡滑塌或断层作用成因和重力流在水道内部的差异侵蚀成因。对该沉积体系的研究不仅能加深深水沉积的认识,还可为油气进一步勘探服务。 相似文献

深水内波、内潮汐沉积类型及其油气意义 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
深水内波、内潮汐沉积可归纳为水道型和非水道型两种基本沉积类型。水道型沉积常发育双向递变层序和单向递变层序,单砂层较厚,它不仅是油气的良好储层,而且常与深水重力流沉积和深水背景泥岩沉积一起构成有利的地层或岩性圈闭,应当列为深水沉积区油气勘探的重点目标。非水道型深水内波、内潮汐沉积一般发育由砂泥频繁薄互层所构成的对偶层双向递变层序和对偶层单向递变层序,单砂层很薄,油气勘探意义可能不大。广泛分布的大型沉积物波(分为粗、细粒两种)和水道口附近的内潮汐砂坝,是两种比较特殊的内波、内潮汐沉积建造。根据现有研究实例和沉积成因水流理论分布范围等,建立了深水内波、内潮汐综合沉积模式。 相似文献

中建海底峡谷具有分段性,但分段的关键地貌特征、各段沉积充填及其控制因素缺乏精细描述和系统论证.综合利用高分辨率二维和三维地震资料,结合水深地貌数据,对中建海底峡谷地貌及沉积特征进行了详细分析,总结了其南北段沉积过程的主控因素.中建海底峡谷呈NW向顺直展布于广乐隆起与西沙隆起之间,以华光礁附近的地貌高点为拐点被分为南北两段.中建海底峡谷北段沉积体系包括重力流沉积（水道、席状沉积、滑塌体）和底流沉积（漂积体、环槽、谷槽）,南段以重力流水道和海底扇为主.北段沉积体系受底流和重力流交互作用控制,底流自中中新世开始出现,改造重力流水道,使其出现侧向迁移或翼部不对称现象,上新世以后重力流作用减弱,底流作用增强,沉积物波和漂积体广泛发育;峡谷南段水道表现出侵蚀-沉积-废弃的沉积旋回,未见底流沉积现象.相对海平面变化导致碳酸盐生产率变化影响物源供应,从而控制水道沉积演化,碳酸盐台地的“高位溢流”作用决定水道在高水位时发育. 相似文献

深水水道是深水区常见的地貌单元,既是深水重力流沉积物的搬运通道,又是其主要沉积场所。对重力流水道沉积研究已有60余年的历史,成果极为丰富。本文简要回顾了深水水道沉积研究历程及最新研究成果,总结了主要水道类型沉积特征及形成机理。重力流水道可分为复合型水道、垂向加积型水道、迁移型水道和分支小水道。复合型水道形成与重力流演化过程密切相关,其内部发育轴部沉积、碎屑流/滑塌沉积、水道—堤岸沉积体系及迁移型水道。弯曲型迁移水道多为重力流自生环流而成,顺直型迁移水道为等深流与重力流共同作用而成。重力流水道研究的发展方向主要有3个方面,即:(1)积极开展多手段和方法综合研究;(2)深入系统对比研究其形成机制及主控因素;(3)加强储集层分布规律研究。 相似文献

前人提出南海晚第四纪碳酸钙含量变化存在“大西洋型”和“太平洋型”两种基本类型，本文利用δ18O、CaCO3含量、Al2O3含量、SiO2含量、浮游有孔虫丰度及钙质超微化石丰度，来表征南海与台湾东部海域13个柱状样的碳酸盐旋回特征。CaCO3含量和SiO2含量通常是表征碳酸盐旋回的良好指标，二者的变化常呈相互消长关系。研究区碳酸盐旋回包括“大西洋型”和“太平洋型”两种标准型式，但也存在不规则形态。“大西洋型”碳酸盐旋回与海平面冰期-间冰期升降旋回密切相关，本文研究的具有该旋回特征的柱状样主要分布在南海水深3000 m以浅区域，其中南海北部碳酸盐旋回很可能伴随着海平面下降（上升）期间富集陆源较粗（细）颗粒物的过程。“太平洋型”碳酸盐旋回在南海现今碳酸钙溶跃面上下很大水深范围都有分布，碳酸钙溶解作用旋回不是“太平洋型”碳酸盐旋回的根本原因。本文研究的台湾东部海域柱状样碳酸盐旋回既不属于大西洋型，也不属于太平洋型。研究区浅地层沉积速率变化与碳酸盐旋回的型式关系不大，主要受控于水深和冰期旋回中海平面变化。随着水深增大，沉积速率趋于增加。MIS2期平均沉积速率大约是MIS1期平均沉积速率的2倍多。 相似文献

Terence P. Scoffin 《Sedimentary Geology》1988,60(1-4):107-124
The dominant calcareous organisms and sediment characteristics are described for eight different physical settings on the shelf west of Scotland, each having a different depth, substrate and degree of hydrodynamic exposure.
The principal sites of carbonate production are on shallow rocky substrates where barnacles, molluscs, echinoderms and serpulids are the dominant calcareous organisms. In sheltered shallow sandy zones, molluscs, echinoderms and benthic foraminiferans are the active producers, though the sediments are commonly barnacle-rich. Where tidal currents are enhanced between islands and the waves are suppressed, calcareous red algae (Phymatolithon calcareum) and mussel shells build localised banks. In deep, open-shelf water molluscs are the major skeletal contributor to the sediment, though on rocky sea beds bryozoans, serpulids and echinoderms are important.
The major sites of deposition are where persistent hydro- (and aero-) dynamic conditions sweep together grains from active production sites (e.g., sand ribbons or beaches and dunes adjacent to shallow rocky platforms) or in sinks where the physiographic configuration favours the deposition and retention of locally produced sediment or sediment derived from suspension. The well-sorted, cross-bedded, beach and dune sands commonly contain > 75% CaCO3. In sheltered depressions, bioturbated muds accumulate with up to 30% calcite silt, which is probably the breakdown product of barnacles and benthic foraminiferans. 相似文献

Cool-water skeletal carbonate sediments are forming in Spencer Gulf, South Australia, an area of high salinity and moderate tidal range. Four environments can be distinguished: deeper marine areas (10–20 m); shallow subtidal platforms and banks (2–10 m); intertidal and supratidal zones; and coastal springs and lakes fed by saline continental groundwaters. The sediments are predominately bioclastic carbonate sands; muddy sediments occur in protected intertidal environments. The most common grain types are gastropods, bivalves, foraminifera, coralline algae and quartz. Indurated non-skeletal carbonate grains have not been seen. Composition of the sediment varies little between environments, but considerable textural variation results from variation in the stability of the substrate, hydrodynamic conditions, depth of water, period of tidal inundation, supply of terrigenous grains, temperature, and salinity. The Spencer Gulf data suggests that temperature, and particularly minimum temperature, controls the distribution of skeletal and non-skeletal grain associations in high-salinity environments. The textures of the sedimentary facies of Spencer Gulf closely parallel those of equivalent environments in warm-water carbonate provinces. 相似文献

渤海湾西部表层沉积物粒度特征与沉积混合 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
根据渤海湾西部135个表层沉积物样品的粒度分析结果,分析了表层沉积物的粒度特征与规律。整体上由研究区东北部沿海岸向南沉积物粒度变细,由砂和粉砂质砂变为砂质粉砂,再变为粘土质粉砂。沉积物粒度频率曲线显示,由研究区东北部至北部,沉积物粗组分含量减少,由单峰逐渐过渡为主峰或弱峰,到中部粗组分减少为粗尾形态,到南部粗组分几乎缺失;而沉积物细组分的变化趋势则与之相反。沉积物粗组分在粒度频率曲线上的表现由单峰逐渐过渡至主峰或次峰,粗峰含量减少,到中部粗组分减少为粗尾形态,到南部粗组分几乎消失;而沉积物细组分的变化趋势则与之相反。沉积物粒度参数的平面分布规律和粒度参数之间的相关性变化形态显示出粗细2种母质组分以不同比例的沉积混合的特征,即来自东北部的粗组分与来自南部的细组分发生混合,这可能主要与区内双向的沿岸环流输运有关。 相似文献

Six closely spaced sediment cores taken below the carbonate compensation depth penetrated fine silty muds and entered sandy sediment at 10–12 m below the seafloor. Foraminiferal assemblages and δ8O analyses on planktonic foraminifera indicated that the surface muds down to 2 m are Holocene and derived from local promontories above the CCD. Below these sediments are about 6 m of clays deposited during the late Wisconsin. These are unfossiliferous and have a possible northern source suggested by the higher chlorite content. Sandy sediments below 9 m in the cores contain well preserved benthic foraminifera from the Scotian Shelf. Glacial δ18O values on planktonic tests indicate the sandy sediments are most likely of latest Wisconsin age. Thus during the recent interglacial, the sand fraction of the southern Sohm Abyssal Plain sediments is mostly locally derived, but during glacial periods the sediments have a distant northern source containing quartz sand that was initially deposited on the Scotian Shelf 1,500 km to the north. 相似文献

Since their first occurrence in the late Cretaceous, seagrasses have played a major role in carbonate production and sedimentation across shallow-water and nearshore environments, sustaining a prolific carbonate factory and contributing to sediment accumulation through the combination of baffling and trapping effects. Most reported Palaeogene seagrass occurrences developed in oligo?mesotrophic shallow warm-water habitats and are characterized by distinct associations of small and larger benthic foraminifers adapted to low terrigenous influence. This study describes a number of seagrass episodes interbedded in the Bartonian (middle Eocene) of San Fausto–Lazkua area (Navarra region, North Spain), within a nearshore to inner-ramp succession that, in spite of being deposited under general transgressive conditions, was highly influenced by terrigenous supply from the adjacent land. Up to twelve different seagrass bed intervals occur interbedded in a cyclical manner with high-energy nearshore siliciclastics and inner ramp bioclastic carbonates rich in mesophotic?oligophotic foraminifers and heterozoan biota (red algae, echinoderms, bryozoans). Seagrass deposits exhibit typical unsorted textures, abundant bioturbation and moderate to high terrigenous content, and comprise a characteristic skeletal association of epiphytic foraminifers, red algae and, most particularly, of abundant encrusting acervulinids, commonly with distinct hooked and tubular growth forms. This abundance of suspension-feeders relative to autotrophs and mixotrophs may be indicative of temperate waters, although the taxonomic diversity of the foraminiferal assemblages in both seagrass and non-seagrass embedding deposits supports the interpretation of shallow, warm-water conditions. The studied seagrass deposits provide evidence that high siliciclastic supply and associated nutrient input may determine the occurrence of temperate-like seagrass deposits in warm-water settings, analogous to extensive heterozoan carbonate production in modern shallow-tropical environments. Thus, the identification and correct interpretation of past seagrass-vegetated environments are crucial for reconstructing palaeoecological conditions in ancient shallow-marine environments. Therefore, in comparison with carbonate-dominated environments, the mixed terrigenous?carbonate seagrass deposits are volumetrically less important, presenting a more irregular, patchy distribution, and a skeletal assemblage dominated by heterotrophs, regardless of the water temperature. 相似文献

Large benthic foraminifera are major carbonate components in tropical carbonate platforms, important carbonate producers, stratigraphic tools and powerful bioindicators (proxies) of environmental change. The application of large benthic foraminifera in tropical coral reef environments has gained considerable momentum in recent years. These modern ecological assessments are often carried out by micropalaeontologists or ecologists with expertise in the identification of foraminifera. However, large benthic foraminifera have been under-represented in favour of macro reef-builders, for example, corals and calcareous algae. Large benthic foraminifera contribute about 5% to modern reef-scale carbonate sediment production. Their substantial size and abundance are reflected by their symbiotic association with the living algae inside their tests. When the foraminiferal holobiont (the combination between the large benthic foraminifera host and the microalgal photosymbiont) dies, the remaining calcareous test renourishes sediment supply, which maintains and stabilizes shorelines and low-lying islands. Geological records reveal episodes (i.e. late Palaeocene and early Eocene epochs) of prolific carbonate production in warmer oceans than today, and in the absence of corals. This begs for deeper consideration of how large benthic foraminifera will respond under future climatic scenarios of higher atmospheric carbon dioxide (pCO2) and to warmer oceans. In addition, studies highlighting the complex evolutionary associations between large benthic foraminifera hosts and their algal photosymbionts, as well as to associated habitats, suggest the potential for increased tolerance to a wide range of conditions. However, the full range of environments where large benthic foraminifera currently dwell is not well-understood in terms of present and future carbonate production, and impact of stressors. The evidence for acclimatization, at least by a few species of well-studied large benthic foraminifera, under intensifying climate change and within degrading reef ecosystems, is a prelude to future host–symbiont resilience under different climatic regimes and habitats than today. This review also highlights knowledge gaps in current understanding of large benthic foraminifera as prolific calcium carbonate producers across shallow carbonate shelf and slope environments under changing ocean conditions. 相似文献

Sedimentological characteristics of the surficial sediments of the Kuwaiti marine environment, northern Arabian Gulf 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The textural characteristics, carbonate content and the coarse fraction components of the Recent bottom sediments of the marine environment off Kuwait are described and the faunal-sediment associations discussed. The sediments were subdivided into seven textural classes, namely sand, silty sand, muddy sand, sandy silt, sandy mud, silt and mud. Most of the study area is covered with muddy sediments whereas sandy deposits are restricted to the rocky bottoms near the southern flat of Kuwait Bay, the southern coast of Kuwait and around the islands and bathymetric highs. The textural classes, carbonate contents and faunal types of the coarse fraction were used to construct a biolithofacies map of the marine bottom sediments off Kuwait, in which nine facies are identified. The sedimentological characteristics of the Recent marine bottom sediments off Kuwait reflect the interaction between autochthonous calcareous fragments mostly of biogenic origin, lime rock fragments derived from beachrocks and submerged reef flats, and allochthonous terrigenous detritus transported to the area mainly by dust storms. The Kuwaiti offshore area is generally a low energy depositional environment with little sediment transport. 相似文献

A total of 103 surface sediment samples collected from the water depth range of 15—3300 m along Vijaydurg-Karwar stretch of central west coast of India were analyzed for foraminiferal content. Relict benthic foraminiferal assemblage was noted within 50—135 m water depth.The relict benthic foraminiferal assemblage that includes Amphistegina,Operculum and Alveolinetta in sediment samples within the water depth of 85—135 m indicates presence of coral reef at this depth during Early Holocene. The presence of barnacle fouling on Relict foraminifera at 60—90 m confirms the paleo-shoreline. The shallow depth zone is characterized by presence of agglutinated relict foraminifera.The agglutinated forms indicate freshwater influx,which eventually increased the sea level and subsequently deteriorated the paleo-coral reef. 相似文献

Strongly influenced by seasonal and interannual (i.e. El Niño‐Southern Oscillation) upwelling, the equatorial setting of the Galápagos Archipelago is divided into well‐defined temperature, nutrient and calcium carbonate saturation (Ωaragonite) regions. To understand the relationship between oceanographic properties and sediment grain associations, grain size, carbonate content and components from sea floor surface samples were analysed, representing the main geographical regions of the Galápagos Archipelago. The shallow‐water rocky reefs of the Galápagos Archipelago are characterized by mixed carbonate–siliciclastic slightly gravelly sands. Despite minor differences in carbonate content, major differences exist in the distribution and composition of key carbonate producing biota. Halimeda is absent and benthic foraminifera occur in extremely low abundance. The western side of the Galápagos Archipelago is strongly influenced by nutrient‐rich, low‐Ωaragonite, subtropical water, which generates a heterozoan carbonate biofacies in a tropical realm resembling cold‐water counterparts (i.e. serpulid, echinoderm, gastropod, barnacle and bryozoan‐rich facies). The Central East region is composed of a transitional‐heterozoan biofacies. Biofacies observed in the northern region have an increased occurrence of tropical corals, albeit with a minor overall contribution to the carbonate components. Although the temperature gradient would allow for a broader distribution of photozoan biofacies, the increased nutrient concentration and related reduced light penetration from the upwelled waters favour heterozoan carbonate factories, mimicking cool‐water, deeper or higher latitude environments. The recent sedimentary record of the Galápagos Archipelago presents a range of tropical heterozoan carbonate communities, responding to more than simply latitude or temperature but a much more complex mixture of physical, evolutionary and geological processes. 相似文献
