The demarcation of the Lower-Middle Triassic boundary is a disputed problem in global stratigraphic research.Lower-Middle Triassic strata of different types,from platform to basin facies, are well developed in Southwest China.This is favorable for the study of the Olenekian-Anisian boundary and establishing a stratotype for the Qingyan Stage.Based on research at the Ganheqiao section in Wangmo county and the Qingyan section in Guiyang city,Guizhou province,six conodont zones have been recognized,which ca...  相似文献   

Molluscan successions from the Holocene tufa of St Germain‐le‐Vasson,Normandy (France) and their biogeographical significance     

Nicole Limondin‐Lozouet  Richard C. Preece 《第四纪科学杂志》2004,19(1):55-71

A detailed molluscan succession from a 10 m thick deposit of Holocene tufa at St Germain‐le‐Vasson, Normandy, provides the most complete record from northern France and has shed new light on the historical biogeography of several species of land snail. The succession has been reconstructed from four profiles and a chronology provided by accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating of charcoal, wood and shell. The onset of tufa formation occurred after 9700±90 yr BP and persisted until 4213±77 yr BP. The tufa appears to have accumulated at a remarkably constant rate (14.4–16.5 cm 100 yr^?1), except for the upper levels, where the rate increases fourfold. The succession has been divided into six local molluscan zones. An early assemblage consisting of ecologically tolerant species and those indicative of marshy grassland is replaced by a sequence of shade‐demanding taxa, reflecting the encroachment of woodland. Shaded conditions persist until the end of the sequence but the most hygrophilous elements decline after 5422±60 yr BP (zone 5), a change also reflected in the tufa lithology by the development of silty grey horizons. Notable species recovered from the tufa include Acicula fusca, Vertigo substriata, V. alpestris, V. moulinsiana (all rare or unknown living in northern France). Hygromia limbata, a twentieth century introduction to Britain, was previously thought to be a relatively recent arrival in northern France, but its record at St Germain shows that it has been present in Normandy since 6500 yr BP. Azeca goodalli, another shade‐demanding species, appeared at St Germain much later, just after 4420±65 yr BP. Several other species present in the tufa, such as Pomatias elegans, no longer live on the site, adding to the evidence for a distributional decline in Normandy and elsewhere. Perhaps the most noteworthy record is that of Leiostyla anglica, between about 8500 yr BP and 5000 yr BP, because this constitutes its only Holocene occurrence from mainland Europe. Following this discovery it seems likely that further Holocene sites with L. anglica may be found along the western seaboard of Europe connecting populations in Iberia with those of the British Isles.

Pleistocene fluvial sediments,palaeontology and archaeology of the upper River Thames at Latton,Wiltshire, England     

S. G. Lewis  D. Maddy  C. Buckingham  G. R. Coope  M. H. Field  D. H. Keen  A. W. G. Pike  D. A. Roe  R. G. Scaife  K. Scott 《第四纪科学杂志》2006,21(2):181-205

Pleistocene fluvial sediments of the Northmoor Member of the Upper Thames Formation exposed at Latton, Wiltshire, record episodic deposition close to the Churn–Thames confluence possibly spanning the interval from Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 7 to 2. The sequence is dominated by gravel facies, indicating deposition by a high‐energy, gravel‐bed river. A number of fine‐grained organic sediment bodies within the sequence have yielded palaeoenvironmental and biostratigraphical data from Mollusca, Coleoptera, vertebrates, pollen and plant macrofossils. The basal deposit (Facies Association A) contains faunal material indicating temperate conditions. Most of the palaeontological evidence including a distinctive small form of mammoth (Mammuthus cf. trogontherii), together with the U‐series age estimate of >147.4 ± 20 kyr suggest correlation with MIS 7. The overlying deposits (Facies Associations B and C) represent deposition under a range of climatic conditions. Two fine‐grained organic deposits occurred within Association B; one (Association Ba) in the northern part of the pit as a channel fill and the other (Association Bb) in its southern part as a scour‐fill deposit. The coleopteran assemblages from Ba, indicate that it accumulated under temperate oceanic conditions, while Bb, which also yielded a radiocarbon age estimate of 39 560 ± 780 ¹⁴C yr BP, was formed under much colder and more continental climatic conditions. The sequence is considered to represent deposition within an alluvial fan formed at the Churn–Thames confluence; a depositional scenario which may account for the juxtaposition of sediments and fossils of widely differing age within the same altitudinal range.

甘蒙北山地区海相二叠系是中亚造山带最年轻的海相地层之一,但其精确时代尚缺少高精度年龄数据约束。此次研究获得北山地区双堡塘组火山岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄285.7±2.9 Ma、280.9±2.8 Ma、279.2±4.8 Ma和272.7±2.6 Ma。同位素年龄和古生物组合证明北山海相二叠系时间延限为早二叠世亚丁斯克期—中二叠世卡匹敦期(Artinskian-Capitanian,286~265Ma),其中双堡塘组、菊石滩组和金塔组时代分别主要为亚丁斯克—沃德期(Wordian)、沃德期和卡匹敦期。区域对比表明中亚造山带新疆北部地区的海相沉积最终消失在早二叠世空谷期(Kungurian)之前(288Ma),而甘蒙北山和内蒙古地区海相沉积可持续至中二叠世卡匹敦期(265Ma)。  相似文献

调查分析了湖北宜昌龚家冲志留系纱帽组剖面156件样品,在其中95件泥岩、粉砂岩样品中发现大量保存精美的早志留世几丁虫化石。自下而上识别出Conochitina malleus,Plectochitina pseudoaggltinans,Eisenackitinadolioliformis,Eisenackitina causiata等生物带。每一个几丁虫生物带均代表一次几丁虫多样性发展,由新生分子和已知分子所构成的组合特征能很好地与拉脱维亚、爱沙尼亚和沙特阿拉伯等国外同期地层的几丁虫组合进行对比。宜昌地区志留系几丁虫生物带与笔石、牙形石带的关系显示宜昌地区纱帽组的地质延限大致与笔石Stimulograptus sedgwickii带至Oktavites spiralis带相当,特列奇阶底界位于纱帽组第二段底部,与几丁虫Plectochitina pseudoagglutinans生物带的底界位置接近。同期地层,在重庆涪陵焦石坝等地为产大量笔石的富有机质页岩,是页岩气的重要储层,因此,这一研究成果对于深入认识我国南方志留系页岩气储层的分布发育特点具有重要意义。  相似文献   

Problems correlating the late Brigantian–Arnsbergian Western European substages within northern England     

P. Czar  I. D. Somerville 《Geological Journal》2016,51(5):817-840

A detailed study of foraminiferal assemblages recorded in limestones from northern England in the Stainmore Trough and Alston Block permits their assignment to different European substages than in previous studies. Comparisons with foraminiferal assemblages, mostly from Russia, allow the biozonations to be correlated with the Viséan, Serpukhovian and Bashkirian international stages, as well as with the Russian (and Ukrainian) substages for the Serpukhovian (Tarussian, Steshevian, Protvian and Zapaltyubian). The Scar Limestone and Five Yard Limestone Members are assigned to the Tarussian and, thus, represent the lowermost part of the formal Serpukhovian Stage. This new correlation coincides closely with the first occurrence of the conodont Lochriea ziegleri from levels equivalent to the Single Post Limestone that could potentially form the revised base for the Serpukhovian. The Three Yard Limestone Member is correlated with the base of the Steshevian substage which also includes the Four Fathom Limestone Member, Great Limestone Member and Little Limestone. The base of the Protvian is considered to lie within the Crag Limestone, whereas the Rookhope Shell Band contains foraminiferal assemblages more typical of the Zapaltyubian in the Ukraine and Chernyshevkian in the Urals. Assemblages of the Upper Fell Top Limestone and Grindstone/Botany Limestones contain foraminiferal species that have been used for the recognition of the Bashkirian elsewhere. There is no other fossil group which allows the calibration of those foraminiferal assemblages, because ammonoids are virtually absent in the shallow‐water cyclothemic successions and conodonts have not been studied in detail in this region. The Mid‐Carboniferous boundary and the Voznessenian substage might be reasonably located below the Upper Fell Top Limestone. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

石炭纪—二叠纪旋回层是由晚古生代冈瓦纳冰川的冰期与间冰期的交替而造成的海进—海退循环沉积的层序,出现在全球尤其是北半球的很多地区。根据岩石微相和沉积构造特征,安徽巢湖凤凰山石炭系和州组,可识别出5个海进—海退沉积序列;根据和州组中有孔虫的分布特征,自下而上可分为5个有孔虫带,确定其地质年代是从维宪期晚期到巴什基尔期早期。这5个海进—海退沉积旋回,与华南其他地区和欧美地区的同时代地层中出现的大的海进—海退事件基本一致。  相似文献   

Geologic age of the lower Josoji Formation,Shimane Peninsula,Southwest Honshu,Japan: Implications for an abrupt change to deep-water during the earlier opening stage of the Japan Sea     

Ritsuo Nomura 《Island Arc》2021,30(1):e12421

The lower part of the Josoji Formation, Shimane Peninsula, contains clues for figuring out changes in deep-water characteristics during the opening of the Japan Sea. The foraminiferal assemblage includes early to middle Miocene biostratigraphic index taxa such as planktonic foraminiferal Globorotalia zealandica and Globorotaloides suteri. The occurrence of these two species, together with the absence of praeorbulinids, suggests that the lower part of the Josoji Formation is assigned to the top of planktonic foraminiferal Zone N7/M4 (16.39 Ma). The benthic foraminiferal assemblage, which is characterized by Cyclammina cancellata and Martinottiella communis, clearly suggests that the lower Josoji Formation was deposited at bathyal depths, and that it developed in association with the abrupt appearance of deep-sea calcareous forms. Such bathyal taxa are the main constituents of the Spirosigmoilinella compressa–Globobulimina auriculata Zone of the Josoji Formation and also of the Gyrodina–Gyroidinoides Zone at Ocean Drilling Program Site 797 in the Japan Sea. The base of these benthic foraminiferal zones can be correlated with the base of the nannofossil Sphenolithus heteromorphus Base Zone (= CNM6/CN3); thus, its estimated age is 17.65 Ma. This biostratigraphic information suggests that the lower Josoji Formation was deposited from shortly before 17.65–16.39 Ma in upper limit age. Evidence that fresh to brackish and shallow-water basins formed in the rifting interval of 20–18 Ma in the Japan Sea borderland suggests that the abrupt appearance of deep-sea calcareous foraminifera occurred about 1 my earlier in this area than in other sedimentary basins and suggests that a significant paleoceanographic change occurred in the proto-Japan Sea at 17.65 Ma.  相似文献   

黑濑川地体源于亚洲大陆东缘何处？

The point at issue: The Kurosegawa Terrane is composed of continental fragments transecting Mesozoic terranes of accretionary complex in Southwest Japan (Fig. 1). It is an attenuated tectonic sliver and considered to be allochthonous with respect to the main part of Southwest Japan. The problem of which continental block in the East Asian continental margin is the source of the Kurosegawa Terrane has puzzled Japanese geologists for many years. Firstly, we try to approach this issue based on the analysis of fusulinacean assemblage in accreted terranes composed of subduction complex in the Pacific Rim. Secondly, by applying the result of this analysis we try to locate the source of the continental fragments of the Kurosegawa Terrane. Thirdly, we try to prove its validity with a new paleomagnetic study.  相似文献
