内蒙狼山北部古元古代变质花岗岩地球化学特征、锆石U-Pb年代学——哥伦比亚超大陆裂解事件的岩浆记录 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
内蒙狼山宝音图地区前寒武纪地质体由古元古代宝音图群、片麻状花岗岩、混合岩和斜长角闪岩等组成。锆石LA-MC-ICP-Ms U-Pb测年获得了宝音图变质花岗岩的形成年龄为1644±11Ma~1710±20Ma。岩石学、地球化学研究表明片麻状钠长花岗岩具有高Si O_2(77.08%~79.96%)、高碱(K_2O+Na_2O)(4.46%~7.26%),低Ti O_2(0.088%~0.17%)、MgO(0.036%~0.37%)、Ca O(0.17%~1.19%)及中等Al_2O_3含量(12.12%~14.10%);Na_2OK_2O,A/CNK为0.88~1.091.1,属弱铝质;里特曼指数б=0.54~1.551.8,表明属于钙质系列;10000Ga/Al=3.43~12.46(均值为5.182.6)及较高的含铁指数[Fe O/(Fe O+MgO)=0.57~0.94],显示了低钾钙性A型花岗岩的特点。片麻状二长花岗岩具有高Si O_2(73.65%~77.63%),低Ti O_2(0.11%~0.27%)、MgO(0.25%~0.80%)、Al_2O_3(11.68%~12.72%)、Ca O(0.24%~0.99%)含量,基本与片麻状钠长花岗岩相近;同时具有高碱(K_2O+Na_2O)含量(6.84%~9.31%),低的Na_2O/K_2O比值(0.53~1.62),钾含量明显高于与片麻状钠长花岗岩;A/NCK为0.96~1.86,б=2.06~2.801.8~3.3为钙碱性系列,显示高钾钙碱性A型花岗岩的特点。两类片麻状花岗岩均具有稀土总量较高,轻稀土富集而重稀土亏损的特征,具有明显Eu的负异常;构造判别图解均指示为陆内非造山型A型花岗岩。全岩同位素分析表明具有弱富集-亏损的同位素组成,其中ε_(Nd)(t)为小的负值到小的正值(-4.91~+2.41),两阶段Nd模式年龄t_(DM2)为1.95~2.58Ga;锆石ε_(Hf)(t)均为正值(+1.5~+8.0),两阶段Hf模式年龄t_(DM2)(1.73~2.31Ga),Nd-Hf模式年龄均高于其形成年龄,揭示源自古元古代新生下部陆壳物质的部分熔融,并有少量幔源物质的加入。与华北北缘、欧美大陆的古元古代非造山作用形成的岩浆岩相似,宝音图变质花岗岩时代上与哥伦比亚超大陆的裂解事件(1.7~1.6Ga)具有一致性,可能是全球哥伦比亚超大陆裂解事件的构造岩浆响应。 相似文献

青藏高原古特提斯洋早石炭世弧后拉张:来自A型花岗岩的证据 总被引：4，自引：2，他引：2
本文报道了羌塘中部冈玛错钾长花岗岩的锆石U-Pb定年、岩石地球化学和锆石Hf同位素分析结果。钾长花岗岩中的锆石具岩浆生长环带,未见继承的老核,并且锆石Th/U比值大于0.5(0.58~1.05),显示出典型岩浆成因的锆石特征。锆石LA-ICP-MS定年结果为352.4±1.9Ma,表明其形成时代为早石炭世。钾长花岗岩富硅(Si O_2=74.17%~77.88%),低铝(Al2O3=10.50%~11.98%),贫镁(Mg O=0.23%~0.36%),富碱(Na_2O+K_2O=5.74%~7.24%),Na_2OK_2O,K_2O/Na_2O=0.53~0.71,A/CNK=0.87~1.06,富集轻稀土元素和Zr、Hf、Rb、Th和U等元素,亏损Sr、Eu、P和Ti等元素,10000Ga/Al=3.12~4.14,显示出A2型花岗岩的地球化学特征。钾长花岗岩中锆石的εHf(t)值和Hf同位素两阶段模式年龄分别变化于+4.40~+12.14和549~985Ma,显示出正的、不均一的同位素组成,可能形成于壳-幔混合作用,其中幔源端元应当是伸展环境下上涌的地幔岩浆,而壳源端元则可能是扬子板块新元古代的新生地壳部分熔融形成的长英质岩浆。结合区域地质资料,认为该花岗岩可能形成于古特提斯洋壳对羌北-昌都板块北向俯冲引起的陆缘弧后拉张环境。 相似文献

辽东黄花甸地区古元古代花岗质岩浆作用及其地质意义 总被引：5，自引：4，他引：1
胶-辽-吉古元古代造山/活动带的辽东黄花甸地区出露大量古元古代花岗质岩石,前人将该区的花岗质岩石统称为花岗质混杂岩。本文通过详细的野外地质调查和室内综合研究,将该套花岗质混杂岩解体为时代及性质完全不同的两类花岗岩——黑云母二长花岗岩和花岗闪长岩。其中黑云母二长花岗岩具有块状、条痕状、片麻状的不同构造类型,均显示富SiO_2(72.37%~77.44%)、贫Al_2O_3(11.69%~13.21%)、富K_2O(3.97%~5.11%)的特征,Na_2O/K_2O=0.64~1.08,TiO_2含量在0.18%~0.34%之间,MnO、MgO和P_2O_5的含量较低,分别为0.01%~0.07%、0.12%~0.32%和0.01%~0.06%,铝饱和指数A/CNK集中分布在1.33~1.45之间,A/NK在1.49~2.60之间,属于过铝质高钾钙碱性系列;微量元素Sr、Ba、Ti、P强烈亏损,具有明显的Eu负异常,具有A型花岗岩的特征。黑云母二长花岗岩的锆石大部分为具有清晰震荡环带结构的岩浆锆石,从3个样品获得LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb谐和年龄分别为2185±29Ma、2183±13Ma、2166±10Ma,据目前所获得南辽河群碎屑锆石年龄(1.95~2.15Ga),本文认为黑云母二长花岗岩的侵位时代要早于南辽河群地层沉积的时间,构成了南辽河群地层沉积的基底。花岗闪长岩呈岩枝状侵入黑云母二长花岗岩和里尔峪组地层中,富SiO_2(72.54%~74.31%)、Al_2O_3(15.01%~16.17%),全碱(K_2O+Na_2O)平均7.77%,相对富钠(Na_2O/K_2O=1.27~2.82),贫钙、镁,MgO平均为0.26%,CaO平均为1.59%,Mg#值平均为54.0,铝饱和指数A/CNK集中分布在1.61~1.78之间,A/NK在1.49~2.60之间,属于过铝质钙碱性系列,具明显的Eu正异常,Y/Yb低,Sr/Y高,而且强烈亏损Th、Ta、Nb、Ti等高场强元素,富集Ba、K、Rb、Sr等低场强元素,具有埃达克质花岗岩的特征。花岗闪长岩的锆石大部分为具有清晰震荡环带结构的岩浆锆石,从2个样品获得LAICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄分别为1995±18Ma、1995±13Ma。可以推断花岗闪长岩的侵位时代为2.0Ga左右。本文认为具有A型特征的黑云二长花岗岩是陆块内部拉伸减薄-裂解过程中下部地壳部分熔融的产物,具有埃达克质特征的花岗闪长岩是俯冲过程中所形成火山弧或活动大陆边缘岩浆活动的产物。以上研究表明胶-辽-吉古元古代造山/活动带可能经历了在2.2~2.15Ga左右的拉伸裂解过程和2.0Ga左右俯冲挤压的构造演化过程。 相似文献

扬子板块西北缘新元古代岩浆作用成因的研究对于研究Rodinia超大陆在该区的构造演化具有重要意义。本文对扬子板块西北缘米仓山地区二长花岗岩进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年和同位素、全岩主量和微量元素分析。结果表明二长花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄为742.1±5.9 Ma,属于新元古代花岗岩。岩石具有高Si O_2(76.84%~80.08%),高碱(Na_2O+K_2O=7.64%~8.99%),相对富钾(K_2O/Na_2O=0.91~1.36),低P_2O_5含量等特征,铝饱和指数(A/CNK)介于0.77~0.89之间。岩石具有稀土元素含量较高、相对富集轻稀土元素的特征,具有明显负Eu异常,Eu*=0.05~0.13,Rb、U、Th、K、Pb等元素相对富集,Ba、Nb、Sr、P、Zr、Ti和Eu等元素明显亏损。岩石n(~(87)Sr)/n(~(86)Sr)=0.747067~0.795283,n(~(143)Nd)/n(~(144)Nd)=0.512472~0.512661,ε_(Nd)(t)=+3.6~+5.2,二阶段模式年龄T_(2DM)值介于0.96~1.07Ga之间。综合地球化学、同位素特征及米仓山区域构造资料,我们认为坪河二长花岗岩为高钾钙碱性高分异I型花岗岩,该岩浆起源于新生玄武质下地壳岩石的局部熔融,在上升阶段可能经历了地壳的混染作用,形成于伸展的构造环境中,是新元古代晚期Rodinia超大陆裂解作用的岩浆响应。 相似文献

巴斯铁列克钨多金属矿床位于新疆阿尔泰造山带南缘,是近年来在区内发现的首例中型钨多金属矿床。矿体主要产于二叠纪花岗岩与上志留统-下泥盆统康布铁堡组火山-沉积岩接触带的矽卡岩中。钨矿化与矿区花岗质岩石有明显的空间关系。然而,与钨矿化有关的花岗质岩石成因尚不清楚。本文对矿区出露的与矿化关系密切的黑云母花岗岩、二长花岗岩和二云母花岗岩进行了锆石U-Pb年代学和岩石地球化学研究。3个样品的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb加权平均年龄分别为282.3±3.2Ma、284.3±2.2Ma和284.8±2.3Ma,属早二叠世岩浆活动的产物,与成矿年龄一致。所有岩石具有高硅(Si O_2=73.6%~78.3%)、富碱(K_2O+Na_2O=5.15%~9.62%)富钾(K_2O/Na_2O> 1.1)、贫钙(Ca O=0.19%~0.75%)和钛(Ti O_2=0.04%~0.24%)、弱过铝-强过铝质(A/CNK=1.01~1.39)特征。这些岩石稀土元素总量(∑REE)变化较大(变化于20.3×10-6~328×10-6),但二云母花岗岩显示轻重稀土元素分异不明显((La/Yb)N=0.96~2.06)、Eu强烈负异常(δEu=0.07~0.41)的深"V"型稀土元素分布特征,黑云母花岗岩和二长花岗岩显示轻稀土略富集((La/Yb)N分别为2.8~5.5和4.8~7.4)且Eu负异常(δEu=0.33~0.39和0.34~0.63)明显的右倾型稀土元素分布特征。所有样品均显示相对富集Rb、Th、U、Pb元素和相对亏损Nb、Ti、P、Sr、Ba元素,但二云母花岗岩中W含量(4.6×10-6~9.4×10-6)相对低于黑云母花岗岩和二长花岗岩中W含量(分别为15.1×10-6~168×10-6和8.4×10-6~16.0×10-6)。所有样品的锆石具有正的高εHf(t)值(+3.8~+11)和相对年轻的亏损地幔模式年龄(Hf的tDM2为0.60~1.0Ga)。以上特征说明,这些岩石属高钾钙碱性分异I-A过渡型花岗岩。结合区域地质背景,认为这些岩体是二叠纪时期后碰撞伸展环境下两个独立岩浆事件的产物,母岩浆均来源于新生地壳熔体与幔源岩浆,经过高度分异演化后结晶形成矿区岩石。花岗质岩浆活动为巴斯铁列克钨矿床提供了成矿物质,岩浆演化过程(结晶分异与熔体-流体作用)对成矿元素有富集作用。 相似文献

在中拉萨地块北部尼玛控错地区发育着一套碱性长石花岗岩,对该花岗岩体开展成因和形成背景的研究,能为探索班公湖-怒江洋的构造演化提供有价值的信息。用LA-ICP-MS方法测得该花岗岩的锆石^(206)Pb/^(238)U年龄加权平均值为104.9±1.4Ma(MSWD=1.5)和104.6±1.3Ma(MSWD=1.3),表明该岩体形成于早白垩世。花岗岩具有高硅(SiO_(2)=76.75%~77.51%,平均77.27%)、高钾(K_(2)O=4.61%~4.85%,平均4.77%)、高碱(K_(2)O+Na_(2)O=8.24%~8.57%,平均8.44%)、低钙(CaO=0.28%~0.48%,平均0.35%)、低镁(MgO=0.11%~0.16%,平均0.13%)和低铝(Al_(2)O_(3)=11.79%~12.22%,平均12.09%)等特征,里特曼指数(σ)为1.96~2.15(平均2.08),A/NK值为1.06~1.09,A/CNK值为1.01~1.04。这些特征表明控错花岗岩为弱过铝质的高钾钙碱性-钾玄岩系列岩石。控错花岗岩相对富集Zr、Nb、Ce、Y和Hf等微量元素,相对亏损Ti、Ba、Sr和P等微量元素,分异系数(DI)为95.5~96.9(平均:96.3),还具有较高的FeOT/MgO值(5.61~10.22,平均7.26)、10000Ga/Al值(2.78~2.56,平均2.84)、Y/Nb值(2.29~4.97,平均3.57)、Rb/Nb值(11.6~18.2,平均15.2);此外,该岩体还具有较高的全岩Zr饱和温度(875~910℃,平均890℃)和锆石Ti饱和温度(848~919℃,平均890℃),明显的Eu负异常(δEu=0.04~0.09,平均0.06),以及向右缓倾的"V型"稀土元素配分曲线,这些特征表明控错花岗岩为产于碰撞后环境的A2型花岗岩。正的锆石εHf(t)值(4.26~6.38,平均5.16)、相对年轻的锆石Hf地壳模式年龄(tDM2=757~889Ma,平均833Ma)、下地壳与地幔混合特征的(^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr)t(0.7194~0.7407,平均0.7313)、εNd(t)(-3.39~-3.00,平均-3.24)和Pb同位素特征((^(206)Pb/^(204)Pb)_(t)=18.792~18.845,(^(207)Pb/^(204)Pb)_(t)=15.708~15.718,(^(208)Pb/^(204)Pb)_(t)=38.870~38.037),指示控错花岗岩熔融于幔源物质加入的新生地壳。研究结果揭示,控错花岗岩形成于羌塘-拉萨地块碰撞作用下,俯冲板片的断离后,软流圈上涌诱发的地壳部分熔融,并经历了显著的以钾长石和角闪石为主的分离结晶作用。 相似文献

赣东北珍珠山花岗岩脉地球化学、锆石U-Pb定年及Hf同位素组成研究 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
赣东北塔前–朱溪–赋春成矿带是一条重要的铜、钨、钼多金属成矿带,该成矿带及外围成矿潜力巨大,具有良好的找矿前景。本次选取该带南缘珍珠山出露的两条花岗岩脉为研究对象,开展LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年、Hf同位素及地球化学研究,对其成因、成岩时代和成矿作用进行约束。结果表明,花岗岩脉锆石的206Pb/238U加权平均年龄为129.3±0.5 Ma(MSWD=0.99)和133.3±0.8 Ma(MSWD=0.29),为早白垩世;花岗岩具有高SiO_2(74.10%~75.78%)、富Na_2O+K_2O(6.99%~7.89%)、富Al_2O_3(13.94%~15.15%)、高FeO~T/MgO值(7.50~12.36)、低CaO(0.31%~0.42%)及贫MgO(0.07%~0.13%)的特征。其中Na_2O/K_2O=3.14~9.09,A/CNK=1.08~1.30,属过铝质碱性岩系列。稀土总量较低,轻、重稀土分异较轻(LREE/HREE平均2.48),具强负Eu异常(δEu平均0.07),呈弱右倾海鸥形态;微量元素Ga/Al值高(3.41×10~(–4)~4.27×10~(–4)),相对亏损K、Ba、Nd、Sr等大离子亲石元素,富集U、Th、Nb、Ta、P等高场强元素。其中锆石εHf(t)值为–5.09~–0.05,显示成岩物质以壳源为主,并有地幔成分参与,Hf单阶段模式年龄范围为761~948 Ma,两阶段模式年龄范围为1153~1463 Ma。综合分析认为珍珠山花岗岩属于A1型花岗岩,是在早白垩世构造体制转换结束后非造山伸展拉张环境下侵位,岩脉中Sn、Nb含量高,暗示该区具有较大的钨锡铌钽矿找矿潜力。 相似文献

Reproductive pentoxylalean material from the Albian Triton Point Formation, Fossil Bluff Group of Alexander Island, Antarctica is the youngest record of this group globally. Leaves are referred to Taeniopteris daintreei McCoy, ovulate reproductive organs to Carnoconites cranwelli Harris, and stem material to Pentoxylon sp. Occurring in leaf litter layers on palaeosol surfaces the sedimentology suggests that pentoxylalean plants grew upon areas of the floodplain distal to the river channel, where they covered the forest floor in a similar habit to modern brambles. The forest floor was shared with Equisetales and liverworts, an abundance of ferns [Cladophlebis Brongniart, Gleichenites Goeppert, Phyllopteroides Medwell, Sphenopteris (Brongniart) Sternberg], as well as angiosperms. Bennettitales, Ginkgoites Seward and Nilssonia Brongniart were rare within these communities, as were coniferous trees. 相似文献

The diagnosis of Estherites corrugatus from the basal part of the Coniacian Second Member of the Nenjiang Formation in Nenjiang County, north-east China is revised following the application of a new preparation technique to some of the carapaces and an examination of specimens under a scanning electron microscope, both of which revealed morphological features on the carapace that had not been recognized previously. Restudy of the type species of the two subgenera Estherites (Euestherites) and Estherites (Parestherites) also revealed details of carapace features not seen hitherto. These indicate that they should be separated from Estherites. As a result, Euestherites is upgraded to genus level and Parestherites is placed in synonymy. The importance of Estherites and Euestherites is considered in the context of Late Cretaceous assemblages of these crustaceans and the three conchostracan provinces (South-West, South-East and North China) that are recognized to have been present in China during the Turonian–Santonian period. 相似文献

In this study we report similar biotic response patterns in planktic foraminiferal assemblages, whether in association with volcanism, impacts or climate change at the end of the Cretaceous and early Tertiary. During and after each type of catastrophe two groups dominate high stress assemblages: (1) the small Guembelitria species, which are interpreted as having thrived in eutrophic surface waters where other species rarely survived; and (2) the low oxygen tolerant small Heterohelix species, which thrived at times of an expanding oxygen minimum zone associated with high nutrients and a stratified water column. The ecosystem collapse appears to be primarily the result of high macro- and micronutrient influx (from impacts, volcanism and erosion) leading to eutrophication and phytoplankton blooms (i.e., primary producers) that result in toxic conditions for foraminifera. Once nutrients decrease due to consumption by phytoplankton, the first opportunistic foraminifera, the Guembelitria, appear and graze on phytoplankton, rapidly reproduce (heterochronic acceleration) and increase populations exponentially. With nutrient depletion Guembelitria populations rapidly decrease leading to ecologic niches for other generalists and ecosystem recovery. Small low O2 tolerant heterohelicid populations mark this second stage, followed by small trochospiral and planispiral species. With further environmental recovery, increasing competition, niche development, and restoration of a well-stratified watermass, oligotrophic conditions are restored opening habitats for large, highly specialized species and a return to normal diverse assemblages. Such highly stressed ecological successions are observed in association with mantle plume volcanism in the Indian Ocean, Andean volcanism in Argentina and shallow inland seas in Egypt and Madagascar during the late Maastrichtian, the K-T impact, volcanism during the early Danian, and intense upwelling and climate extremes. We present a simple model to explain the ecological succession and recovery phases that follow major biotic perturbations. 相似文献

A review of the tetrapod (amphibian and amniote) record across the Permo-Triassic boundary (PTB) indicates a global evolutionary turnover of tetrapods close to the PTB. There is also a within-Guadalupian tetrapod extinction here called the dinocephalian extinction event, probably of global extent. The dinocephalian extinction event is a late Wordian or early Capitanian extinction based on biostratigraphic data and magnetostratigraphy (the extinction precedes the Illawara reversal), so it is not synchronous with the end-Guadalupian marine extinction. The Russian PTB section documents two tetrapod extinction events, one just before the dinocephalian extinction event and the other at the base of the Lystrosaurus assemblage. However, generic diversity across the latter extinction remains essentially the same despite a total evolutionary turnover of tetrapod genera. The Chinese and South African sections document the stratigraphic overlap of Dicynodon and Lystrosaurus. In the Karoo basin, the lowest occurrence of Lystrosaurus is in a stratigraphic interval of reversed magnetic polarity, which indicates it predates the marine-defined PTB, so, as previously suggested by some workers, the lowest occurrence of Lystrosaurus cannot be used to identify the PTB in nonmarine strata. Correlation of the marine PTB section at Meishan, southern China, to the Karoo basin based primarily on magnetostratigraphy indicates that the main marine extinction preceded the PTB tetrapod extinction event. The ecological severity of the PTB tetrapod extinction event has generally been overstated, and the major change in tetrapod assemblages that took place across the PTB was the prolonged and complex “replacement” of therapsids by archosaurs that began before the end of the Permian and was not complete until well into the Triassic. The tetrapod extinctions are not synchronous with the major marine extinctions at the end of the Guadalupian and just before the end of the Permian, so the idea of catastrophic causes of synchronous PTB extinctions on land and sea should be reconsidered. 相似文献

A well preserved assemblage of compressed, straight, circular to sinuously coiled megascopic and helical carbonaceous fossils and other varied megascopic morphoforms are known from the Early Mesoproterozoic Rohtas Formation, Semri Group within Vindhyan Supergroup exposed in Katni district of central India. These megascopic remains are preserved as impressions, compressions, partially mineralized remains, and/or epi-relief. Some of the forms are typical filamentous empty sheaths and others are trichomes, with cell like entities under various stages of degradation. This study, based on fresh collections and also of the topotype material of the helically coiled megascopic fossils, straight forms and related fossilized remains occurring as epi-relief from Katni indicate that the two morphotaxa are distinct entities and possibly appear to be prokaryotes. Grypania spiralis and Katnia singhii are most likely of cyanobacterial origin. Spirally coiled and circular fossils, with epi-relief, and which probably represents a tissue grade organism, are considered as Spiroichnus beerii Mathur, 1983. Linear sheet-like carbonaceous solitary form has been placed in the morphotaxon Proterotainia and described as P. katniensis n. sp. Certain rare circular, carbonaceous forms are considered as Chuaria sp. A few circular disc-like forms found in the assemblage are treated as dubiofossils. 相似文献

The b-value of the Gutenberg–Richter’s frequency–magnitude relation and the p-value of the modified Omori law, which describes the decay rate of aftershock activity, were investigated for more than 500 aftershocks in the Aksehir-Afyon graben (AAG) following the 15 December 2000 Sultandagi–Aksehir and the 3 February 2002 Çay–Eber and Çobanlar earthquakes. We used the Kandilli Observatory’s catalog, which contains records of aftershocks with magnitudes ≥2.5. For the Çobanlar earthquake, the estimated b-values for three aftershock sequences are in the range 0.34 ≤ b ≤ 2.85, with the exception of the one that occurred during the first hour (4.77), while the obtained p-values are in the range 0.44 ≤ p ≤ 1.77. The aftershocks of the Sultandagi earthquake have a high p-value, indicating fast decay of the aftershock activity. A regular increase of b can be observed, with b < 1.0 after 0.208 days for the Çay–Eber earthquake. A systematic and similar increase and decrease pattern exists for the b- and p-values of the Çobanlar earthquakes during the first 5 days. 相似文献

Early Maastrichtian larger foraminifera of the Qahlah Formation, United Arab Emirates and Sultanate of Oman border region 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
The Early Maastrichtian (Late Cretaceous) Qahlah Formation is the oldest stratigraphical unit lying upon the eroded top of the obducted Semail Ophiolite, of Santonian–Campanian age, in the Northern Oman Mountains. It crops out as a series of low hills on the western flank of the mountains, which are located along the boundary between the United Arab Emirates and the Sultanate of Oman. This paper presents the results of an investigation into the bio- and lithofacies of the Qahlah Formation in the Jabal Huwayyah section (at the boundary between the Al Ain area of the United Arab Emirates and the Buraimi area of Oman). The data collected were used to determine the age and depositional environment of the rock unit studied. In addition, the section is lithostratigraphically correlated with other sections in the study area. Microfossils from Jabal Huwayyah are represented mainly by the larger benthic foraminifera Loftusia elongata, L. morgani, Pseudorbitolina marthae, Orbitoides media, Omphalocyclus macroporus and Lepidorbitoides minor. These foraminifera are reported for the first time from this section. The diversity and abundance of fauna, particularly within the calcareous siltstone bed near the top of the formation (unique to the Huwayyah area), reflect a shallow marine depositional environment. 相似文献

The ichnofauna of the Woodbine Formation (Cenomanian), Denton County, Texas includes bird and dinosaur tracks. A new bird trackway,Magnoavipes loweiichnogen. et ichnosp. nov., appears to represent the largest bird tracks known from the Mesozoic. A theropod trackway,Fuscinapedis woodbinensisichnogen. et ichnosp. nov., is characterized by long digits of uniform width and pointed small claws. Six hadrosaurid trackways,Caririchnium protohadrosaurichnosichnosp. nov., are the oldest hadrosaurid tracks associated with skeletal elements. They include one isolated small footprint, a medium sized quadrupedal, and five large bipedal hadrosaurid trackways. 相似文献
