Luminescence dating of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 7) marine shoreline deposits along the eastern coast of Tunisia: A comparison of K-feldspar and Na-feldspar IRSL ages     

《Quaternary Geochronology》2015

In the present study, we applied the IRSL_50°C dating method to both K- and Na-feldspar coarse grains from interglacial coastal deposits in north-eastern Tunisia. We used the yellow IRSL_50°C signal of Na-feldspars and the blue IRSL_50°C signal of K-feldspars. The key-sites for this study are at El Hajeb (Sahel area) and Dar Oufa (Cap Bon Peninsula). These deposits belong to the “Douira Unit” which has previously been assigned to marine isotope stage (MIS) 7 on the basis of amino acid ratios and chronostratigraphic evidence.In order to assess the reliability of the IRSL_50°C ages of the “Douira Unit”, we extended the IRSL dating technique to K- and Na-feldspars from two MIS 5 samples, with independent age control, collected within shallow-marine sands in the Sahel area and on the Jerba island (southern Tunisia).Two protocols of age correction for the observed fading in K- and Na-feldspars have been applied: (1) the Huntley and Lamothe (2001) fading correction and (2) the dose rate correction developed by Lamothe et al. (2003). The fading corrected IRSL ages of the “Douira Unit” and both MIS 5 control samples, measured on K- and Na-feldspars, are in good agreement with their expected ages.  相似文献   

40Ar/39Ar traverse — Grenville Front Tectonic Zone to Britt Domain,Grenville Province,Ontario, Canada*

Abstract ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar data (on hornblende, muscovite and K-feldspar) are presented for samples from the western Grenville Province taken along a 140-km traverse from the Grenville Front into the Britt domain. Our interpretation is based on 28 new analyses, synthesized with 20 previously reported from the traverse area. In regions where comparisons are possible, muscovite and (large domain) K-feldspar apparent ages appear similar (at c. 920–930 Ma), but throughout the traverse, these are c. 60–70 Myr younger than the hornblende ages. The inferred cooling rate over the c. 350–500°C temperature range, c.2°C Myr^-1, is appropriate for exhumation controlled by post-orogenic erosional unroofing. At the Grenville Front Tectonic Zone (GFTZ) — Britt domain boundary there is a c. 25-Myr offset in both hornblende and muscovite/K-feldspar ages. We interpret the lower ages in the Britt domain to reflect variations in crustal thickness and geothermal gradient between the flank and interior of a thick orogen. The argon data from the GFTZ are interpreted in the context of an asymmetric crustal-scale antiformal structure developed during a late episode of convergence. Hornblende from rocks on either side of the core of the antiform has an apparent age of c. 990 Ma, our estimate of the age of the compressional event. In the west, we infer that these date the short-lived thermal event associated with the development of the crustal-scale antiform previously postulated. In the east, the ages reflect the cooling of material brought toward the surface in the flank of the antiform. Hornblendes from the antiform core appear to contain excess radiogenic argon. We suggest that this was the ambient argon in rocks transported from depth that was subsequently trapped when the rocks cooled rapidly.  相似文献

中国沙漠的碎屑长石矿物与冰期风尘示踪     

李娟  何同 《高校地质学报》2021,27(3):366-374

文章采用了新型自动矿物相识别技术（INCA Mineral）对中国北方10个沙漠盆地以及蒙古戈壁沉积物的碎屑长石开展了矿物定量研究。钾长石/钠长石和钙质斜长石/石英的比值指示了沙漠沉积物的长石矿物含量特征,表现出显著的地球化学区域分布特证。沿着青藏高原北部边缘分布的塔克拉玛干、柴达木、腾格里、巴丹吉林与毛乌素沙漠的沉积物中两种长石矿物比值均较低;中亚造山带以北的古尔班通古特、蒙古戈壁、浑善达克、呼伦贝尔和科尔沁沙漠的沉积物中两种长石矿物指标均具有较高值。长石矿物含量特征揭示的“两单元”区域分布结果,可以由过去采用Nd-Sr-Hf同位素示踪结果来验证。东亚沙漠长石含量的二元空间分布特征,支持了构造成山控制盆地沉积物矿物成分的假说。黄土高原末次冰期黄土的长石含量特征,与青藏高原北缘的长石分布特征一致,该区域可能是末次冰期黄土高原物质的主要来源,但也并不排除中亚造山带物质通过远距离搬运传输对末次冰期风尘的贡献。  相似文献   

Influence of detrital composition on the diagenetic history of tight sandstones with implications for reservoir quality: Examples from the Permian Xiashihezi Formation and Carboniferous Taiyuan Formation,Daniudi gas field,Ordos Basin,China     

《Marine and Petroleum Geology》2017

Tight-gas reservoirs, characterized by low porosity and low permeability, are widely considered to be the product of post-depositional, diagenetic processes associated with progressive burial. This study utilizes a combination of thin section petrography, scanning electron microscopy, microprobe and back scatter electron analysis, stable isotope geochemistry and fluid inclusion analysis to compare the diagenetic history, including porosity formation, within sandstones of the second member of Carboniferous Taiyuan Formation (C₃t₂) and the first member of Permian Xiashihezi Formation (P₁x₁) in the Ordos Basin in central China.In the P₁x₁ member, relatively high abundances of metamorphic rock fragments coupled with a braided river and lacustrine delta environment of deposition, produced more smectite for transformation to illite (50–120 °C). This reaction was driven by dissolution of unstable minerals (K-feldspar and rock fragments) during the early to middle stages of mesodiagenesis and consumed all K-feldspar. Abundant intragranular porosity (average values of 2.8%) and microporosity in kaolinite (average values of 1.5%) formed at these burial depths with chlorite and calcite developed as by-products.In the C₃t₂ member, relatively low abundances of metamorphic rock fragments coupled with an incised valley-coastal plain environment of deposition resulted in less smectite for transformation to illite. High K⁺/H⁺ ratios in the early pore waters related to a marine sedimentary environment of deposition promoted this reaction. Under these conditions, K-feldspar was partially preserved. During the middle to late stages of mesodiagenesis, K-feldspar breakdown produced secondary intragranular (average values of 1.4%) and intergranular pores (average values of 1.2%). Release of K⁺ ions promoted illitization of kaolinite with quartz overgrowths and ferrous carbonates developed as by-products.This study has demonstrated that whereas both members are typical tight-gas sandstones, they are characterized by quite different diagenetic histories controlled by the primary detrital composition, especially during mesodiagenesis. Types of secondary porosity vary between the two members and developed at different stages of progressive burial. The content of unstable detrital components, notably feldspar, was the key factor that determined the abundance of secondary porosity.  相似文献
