Abstract Explosive volcanic activity is recorded in the Upper Jurassic of the Paris Basin and the Subalpine Basin of France by the identification of five bentonite horizons. These layers occur in Lower Oxfordian (cordatum ammonite zone) to Middle Oxfordian (plicatilis zone) clays and silty clays deposited in outer platform environments. In the Paris Basin, a thick bentonite (10–15 cm), identified in boreholes and in outcrop, is dominated by dioctahedral smectite (95%) with trace amounts of kaolinite, illite and chlorite. In contrast, five bentonites identified in the Subalpine Basin, where burial diagenesis and fluid circulation were more important, are composed of a mixture of kaolinite and regular or random illite/smectite mixed-layer clays in variable proportions, indicating a K-bentonite. In the Subalpine Basin, a 2–15 cm thick bentonite underlain by a layer affected by sulphate–carbonate mineralization can be correlated over 2000 km². Euhedral zircon, apatite and biotite crystals have been identified in all the bentonites. The geochemical composition of the bentonites in both basins is characterized by high concentrations of Hf, Nb, Pb, Ta, Th, Ti, U, Y, Zr and low concentrations of Cr, Cs and Rb. Biostratigraphical and geochemical data suggest that the thick bentonite in the Paris Basin correlates with the thickest bentonite in the Subalpine Basin, located 400 km to the south. These horizons indicate that significant explosive volcanic events occurred during the Middle Oxfordian and provide potential long-distance isochronous marker beds. Immobile element discrimination diagrams and rare-earth element characteristics indicate that the original ash compositions of the thickest bentonites correspond to a trachyandesitic source from a within-plate alkaline series that was probably related to North Atlantic rifting.  相似文献   

“Kerguelen: Continental fragment or oceanic island?”: Petrology and isotopic geochemistry evidence

The Rallier du Baty peninsula in the southwestern part of the Kerguelen archipelago contains five ring complexes composed of rocks of syenitic and granitic affinities. These ring complexes are mutually intrusive and intrude into a series of basaltic flows of about 20–25 m.y. in age. Geologic studies show that these complexes progressively become younger to the north. The main rock types of the ring complexes consist of amphibole syenites and biotite syenites representing two magmatic suites, an peralkaline and an peraluminous type.The isotopic study of the southern syenite-granite ring complex of the Rallier du Baty peninsula is presented. A very precise chronology of the intrusions (A, outermost ring, to H, innermost ring) is given:$\begin{array}{l}outergabbros:K?Arage=15?13m.y.\\ ringA:K?Arrage=12m.y.\\ ringB:WholerockRb?Srage=9.7\pm 0.2m.y.\left(2\sigma \right)\\ ringC:WholerockRb?Srage=8.6\pm 0.1m.y.\left(2\sigma \right)\\ ringD,E,F,G,H:WholerockRb?Srage=7.9\pm 0.2m.y.\left(2\sigma \right)\end{array}$The close grouping of initial⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios (0.7057) indicates that different ring complexes have the same source regions. Furthermore, the time interval between production of melt and final crystallization can be estimated at several 10⁵ years. As the age differences between ring complexes are about 1 m.y., the different liquids cannot be differentiates of the same magma. The initial ratios of basic plutonic and volcanic rocks from the archipelago range from 0.7041 to 0.7077 with strong grouping around 0.7057. When plotted in a²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb vs.²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb diagram, the lead isotope ratios of all igneous rocks from these islands form a linear array similar to the results from other oceanic islands.Strontium and lead isotope data for all Kerguelen rocks suggest that most of the basic plutonic and volcanic rocks as well as the syenite-granite plutons are probably derived from a similar source located in an undepleted mantle.  相似文献   

Automated mapping of the ocean floor using the theory of intrinsic random functions of order k     

Michel David  Didier Crozel  James M. Robb 《Marine Geophysical Researches》1986,8(1):49-74

High-quality contour maps can be computer drawn from single track echo-sounding data by combining Universal Kriging and the theory of intrinsic random function of order K (IRFK). These methods interpolate values among the closely spaced points that lie along relatively widely spaced lines. The technique provides a variance which can be contoured as a quantitative measure of map precision. The technique can be used to evaluate alternative survey trackline configurations and data collection intervals, and can be applied to other types of oceanographic data.  相似文献   

A relative water-depth model for the Normandy Chalk (Cenomanian–Middle Coniacian,Paris Basin,France) based on facies patterns of metre-scale cycles

A relative water-depth model for the Chalk of the Paris Basin is proposed, based on the lateral variations of the high-frequency metre-scale cycles, which are characteristic features easily identified in the field. The studied outcrops are the Cenomanian–Middle Coniacian cliffs of Normandy. The main result of this study is to highlight the importance of storm activity in the deposition of the Chalk. The relative water-depth model is based on storm-induced shell concentrations observed within the two components of the metre-thick cycles: the depositional interval itself and the top hiatal surface.Six types of shell concentrations are defined, along with seven types of depositional facies making up the depositional units, as well as eight types of hiatal surface. Three cycle associations, differing in their thickness and the amount and type of non-carbonate constituents, can be identified in the Lower to Upper Cenomanian, the Upper Cenomanian to Lower Turonian and the Middle Turonian to Middle Coniacian.A relative water-depth profile model for all these cycles is based on the shell concentrations and a “water-depth equivalence” is proposed between the three cycle associations (lateral “facies” substitution diagram). This model is tested using palaeocological data (irregular echinoids) and by correlating field sections in terms of stacking patterns. Most of the studied deposits accumulated above the storm wave base (upper offshore zone or mid ramp).  相似文献   

Formation of magnesium‐smectite during lacustrine carbonates early diagenesis: Study case of the volcanic crater lake Dziani Dzaha (Mayotte – Indian Ocean)     

Vincent P. Milesi  Didier Jzquel  Mathieu Debure  Pierre Cadeau  Franois Guyot  Grard Sarazin  Francis Claret  Emmanuelle Vennin  Carine Chaduteau  Aurlien Virgone  Eric C. Gaucher  Magali Ader 《Sedimentology》2019,66(3):983-1001

The volcanic crater lake of Dziani Dzaha in Mayotte is studied to constrain the geochemical settings and the diagenetic processes at the origin of Mg‐phyllosilicates associated with carbonate rocks. The Dziani Dzaha is characterized by intense primary productivity, volcanic gases bubbling in three locations and a volcanic catchment of phonolitic/alkaline composition. The lake water has an alkalinity of ca 0·2 mol l^?1 and pH values of ca 9·3. Cores of the lake sediments reaching up to one metre in length were collected and studied by means of carbon–hydrogen–nitrogen elemental analyzer, X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry and X‐ray powder diffraction. In surface sediments, the content of total organic carbon reaches up to 20 weight %. The mineral content consists of aragonite and hydromagnesite with minor amounts of alkaline feldspar and clinopyroxene from the volcanic catchment. Below 30 cm depth, X‐ray diffraction analyses of the <2 μm clay fraction indicate the presence of a saponite‐like mineral, a Mg‐rich smectite. The saponite‐like mineral accumulates at depth to reach up to ca 30 weight %, concurrent with a decrease of the contents of hydromagnesite and organic matter. Thermodynamic considerations and mineral assemblages suggest that the evolution of the sediment composition resulted from early diagenetic reactions. The formation of the saponite‐like mineral instead of Al‐free Mg‐silicates resulted from high aluminum availability, which is favoured in restricted lacustrine environments hosted in alkaline volcanic terrains commonly emplaced during early stages of continental rifting. Supersaturation of the lake water relative to saponite is especially due to high pH values, themselves derived from high primary productivity. This suggests that a genetic link may exist between saponite and the development of organic‐rich carbonate rocks, which may be fuelled by the input of CO₂‐rich volcanic gases. This provides novel insights into the composition and formation of saponite‐rich deposits under a specific geodynamic context such as the Cretaceous South Atlantic carbonate reservoirs.  相似文献   

Sources of in-situ 36Cl in basaltic rocks. Implications for calibration of production rates

In-situ cosmogenic ³⁶Cl production rates from spallation of Ca and K determined in several previously published calibration studies differ by up to 50%. In this study we compare whole rock ³⁶Cl exposure ages with ³⁶Cl exposure ages evaluated in Ca-rich plagioclase in the same 10 ± 3 ka lava sample taken from Mt. Etna (Sicily, 38° N). The exposure age of the sample was determined by K–Ar and corroborated by cosmogenic ³He measurements on cogenetic pyroxene phenocrysts. Sequential dissolution experiments showed that high Cl concentrations in plagioclase grains could be reduced from 450 ppm to less than 3 ppm after 16% dissolution. ³⁶Cl exposure ages calculated from the successive dissolution steps of this leached plagioclase sample are in good agreement with K–Ar and ³He age. Stepwise dissolution of whole rock grains, on the other hand, is not as effective in reducing high Cl concentrations as it is for the plagioclase. 330 ppm Cl still remains after 85% dissolution. The ³⁶Cl exposure ages derived are systematically about 30% higher than the ages calculated from the plagioclase. We could exclude contamination by atmospheric ³⁶Cl as an explanation for this overestimate. Magmatic ³⁶Cl was estimated by measuring a totally shielded sample, but was found to account for only an insignificant amount of ³⁶Cl in the case of the 10 ka whole rock sample. We suspect that the overestimate of the whole rock exposure age is due to the difficulty in accurately assessing all the factors which control production of ³⁶Cl by low-energy neutron capture on ³⁵Cl, particularly variable water content and variable snow cover. We conclude that some of the published ³⁶Cl spallation production rates might be overestimated due to high Cl concentrations in the calibration samples. The use of rigorously pretreated mineral separates reduces Cl concentrations, allowing better estimates of the spallation production rates.In the Appendix of this paper we document in detail the equations used. These equations are also incorporated into a ³⁶Cl calculation spreadsheet made available in the supplementary data.  相似文献

Model‐based evaluation of impact of soil redistribution on soil organic carbon stocks in a temperate hedgerow landscape          下载免费PDF全文

Agroforestry systems are promoted for providing a number of ecosystem services and environmental benefits, including soil protection and carbon sequestration. This study proposes a modelling approach to quantify the impact of soil redistribution on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in a temperate hedgerow landscape. Evolution of SOC stocks at the landscape scale was examined by simulating vertical and horizontal SOC transfers in the 0–105 cm soil layer due to soil redistribution by tillage and water processes. A spatially explicit SOC dynamics model (adapted from RothC‐26.3) was used, coupled with a soil‐redistribution model (LandSoil). SOC dynamics were simulated over 90 years in an agricultural hedgerow landscape dedicated to dairy farming, with a mix of cropping and grasslands. Climate and land use were simulated considering business‐as‐usual scenarios derived from existing information on the study area. A net decrease in SOC stocks was predicted at the end of the simulation period. Soil redistribution induced a net SOC loss equivalent to 2 kg C ha^?1 yr^?1 because of soil exportation out of the study site and an increase in SOC mineralization. Hedgerows and woods were the only land use in which soil redistribution induced net SOC storage. Soil tillage was the main process that induced soil redistribution within cultivated fields. Soil exportation out of the study area was due to erosion by water, but remained low because of the protective role of the hedgerow network. These soil transfers redistributed SOC stocks in the landscape, mostly within cultivated fields. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

A new experimental technique for extracting liquids from peridotite at very low degrees of melting: application to partial melting of depleted peridotite   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

Didier?LaporteEmail author  Michael?J.?Toplis  Monique?Seyler  Jean-Luc?Devidal 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2004,146(4):463-484

A new technique that allows extraction of liquids from peridotite at degrees of melting as low as 0.2 wt% is presented. Microfractures that formed in the graphite sample container at the beginning of the experiments were used as traps for the liquid phase. Glass-filled cracks (or 'microdikes') unaffected by quench crystallisation were produced in all experiments and were analysed using standard electron microprobe techniques. Reversal experiments demonstrated that, at moderate degrees of melting (4.4 and 6.5 wt%), the segregated liquid was in equilibrium with the neighbouring peridotite. At very low degrees of melting (0.3 wt%), the liquid in the microdikes failed to fully equilibrate with the peridotite after 5 days and the sandwich technique was used in combination with the microdike technique to approach more closely the equilibrium composition of near-solidus partial melts. The microdike technique was used to study melting of a depleted peridotite at 1 GPa and 1,220 to 1,360 °C.Editorial responsibility: T.L. Grove  相似文献   

Inconsistencies between cpx-grt geothermometry and field observations: example of the peraluminous eclogites from Beni Bousera (North Morocco)     

Hassan Chrifi Alaoui  Jacques Kornprobst  Didier Laporte 《地学学报》1997,9(2):83-86

Large variations in clinopyroxene-garnet (cpx-grt) temperatures are recorded in thin peraluminous eclogite layers from Beni Bousera ultramafic massif (Morocco): cpx-grt temperatures in the core of layers < 20 cm thick are higher by up to 300°C than in the margins. The cpx-grt temperatures are correlated to both Al-concentration in cpx and Ca-concentration in grt, the two latter parameters being themselves closely intercorrelated. It is demonstrated that the regular interaction parameter Δw^grt_Ca calculated from the Beni Bousera natural data is very close to Δw^grt_Ca calculated from experimental data analysis for Ca-rich garnet. It is concluded that: (i) Al-concentration in cpx has no significant effect on the distribution of Fe and Mg between cpx and grt; and (ii) cpx-grt temperature variations observed across Beni Bousera peraluminous eclogite layers do not correspond to real thermal gradients, but merely result from the inadequacy of the thermometric equations in Ca-rich systems (X^grt_Ca > 0.15).  相似文献
