Instability structures, synsedimentary faults and turbidites have been studied in the Lower Pliensbachian succession of Saint-Michel-en-Beaumont, belonging to the Taillefer block, an ancient half-graben emplaced during the Liassic Tethyan rifting. Geometrical and mechanical analyses demonstrate that the instability structures occurred thanks to movements along spineless synsedimentary normal faults, when the turbiditic and limestone layers were already case-hardened and partly fractured by tension gashes even when the mudstones were still unlithified. Both the tension gashes and the synsedimentary faults are homogeneous in strike with the major regional faults and are in good agreement with the regional direction of extension for this period. The characters of the turbiditic beds, with erosive base, graded bedding, and incomplete Bouma sequence, are in favour of a seismic origin. Instability structures, spineless synsedimentary faults and turbiditic inflows are thus considered as seismites and interpreted as the result of high seismicity periods including some events with M > 5 in the general extensive ambiance of the Liassic Tethyan rifting. The analysis of the geometrical relationships between all these sedimentary features allows to distinguish the successive stage of occurrence of an instability structure, from the sedimentation of alternating marls and limestones, and sudden turbiditic inflows, then early case-hardening of the turbidites, until the important seismotectonic event generating the spineless normal faults, themselves triggering the fall of indurated blocks and locally the forming of breccias. The Ornon Fault, which constitutes the border of the Taillefer block, 15 km eastward, played a major role during the Liassic sedimentation and may represent the major seismic fault related to the seismites occurrence in the Beaumont basin.  相似文献

本文总结了渐进式扩张洋中脊和渐进式演化海盆的全球空间分布,并将西南次海盆与典型渐进式演化的亚丁湾加以比对,通过对海盆扩张中心的起源、扩张中心分段特征、火山活动、磁异常特征等的比较,为西南次海盆的演化提供新观点,为南海的演化观点寻找新证据.西南次海盆为渐进式扩张的海盆,与东部次海盆属于同一期扩张形成,海盆的渐进式扩张与渐进式扩张的方向很有可能受到地幔热柱(印支地幔柱、南海中部低速柱或海南地幔柱)的控制.南海的扩张演化模式并不是单一的,而是多种模式的综合,在考虑海底演化模式时应该同时考虑地幔柱的影响.  相似文献   

Correlation of the middle devonian formations of Australia     

J. W. Pickett with contribution by J. S. Jell  G. Seddon  P. Telford & A. J. Wright 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(4):457-466

In the Precambrian rocks west and southwest of the Mount Isa Fault three significant fold generations are recognized. Within individual successions, units containing an early phase of deformation are juxtaposed by a late fault against a sequence that does not share these earlier events.

Many of the large‐scale structures in the Judenan Beds are first‐generation folds, whereas west of the Judenan Beds the area is dominated by second‐generation folds. These two sets of folds are tentatively correlated and are referred to as the Judenan Folds. An earlier set of pre‐Judenan folding is only found in the units west of the Judenan Beds. One phase of the Sybella Granite is also associated with the Judenan folding. Later small‐scale folds associated with a crenulation cleavage are, however, of little regional importance and are commonly found only in zones of highly deformed rocks.  相似文献   

Geology and petroleum potential of the Fairway Basin in the Tasman Sea     

N. F. Exon  Y. Lafoy  P. J. Hill  G. R. Dickens  I. Pecher 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(5):629-645

The Fairway Basin is a large, generally north – south-trending, sediment-filled structure in water 1500 – 3000 m deep, on the eastern slope of the Lord Howe Rise in the Tasman Sea, and is partly within Australian jurisdiction. It was poorly known until a few years ago, when seismic profiling and piston coring cruises were carried out. The basin, about 1100 km long and 120 – 200 km wide, can be divided into three segments—north, central and south—that trend northwest, north and north-northwest, respectively. All three segments probably formed by thinning of continental crust during breakup of Lord Howe Rise and surrounding aseismic continental ridges in the Late Cretaceous and Paleocene. Normal faulting, large inputs of terrigenous sediment and subsidence to bathyal marine depths occurred during that time. A period of compression, perhaps related to overthrusting on New Caledonia, occurred in the Eocene, leading to uplift (and in parts, erosion) of northern Lord Howe Rise, and reversal of faulting in the basin. By the Oligocene, the area was again in bathyal depths, and pelagic ooze and some turbidites accumulated. The basinal sequence is generally 2000 – 4000 m thick, with 1200 – 3200 m of Cretaceous to Eocene sediment concentrated in depocentres, capped by 500 – 800 m of Oligocene and younger sediment. In the depocentres, numerous sedimentary diapirs pierce sedimentary sequences. The sedimentary diapirs appear to be fed by Cretaceous muds deposited during rifting. Often, these diapirs are overlain by faults extending to the seafloor, and hummocky bathymetry is possibly caused by fluid escape. The overall geology suggests that the Fairway Basin may be a large frontier hydrocarbon province. Seismic profiles display a bottom-simulating reflector above many depocentres, 500 – 700 m below the seafloor. The bottom-simulating reflector has positive polarity, which could result from a diagenetic phase transformation, a thin gas hydrate layer with a sharp top, or from the sharp base of a gas layer (probably beneath gas hydrates). Standard piston cores taken above diapirs and apparent fluid-escape features have recovered little gas. Other than drilling, the next steps in assessing petroleum potential are to clearly document fluid-escape structures, and to sample any fluids emitted for hydrocarbons.  相似文献   

Analyse quantitative du rifting et de la relaxation thermique de la partie occidentale de la marge transformante nord-africaine: le Rif externe (Maroc)     

Philippe Favre 《Geodinamica Acta》2013,26(2):59-81

Résumén

Un résumé de la cinématique du Rif externe central et occidental, de la période de rifting aux événements tectoniques récents, est proposé. L’évolution du Rif externe est abordée sur le plan quantitatif par le biais des principaux mécanismes physiques qui ont pu affecter cette partie de la marge nord-africaine durant le Jurassique, le Crétacé et le Paléocène (processus de dilatation thermique lors du rifting et de contraction thermique lors du refroidissement de la lithosphère, effondrement par flexure de la marge nord-africaine lors de la collision). Les géométries et densités obtenues sont comparées avec les données gravimétriques et de sismique réfraction.

Un des aspects du modèle de Wernicke (1985), la dissymétrie du rifting de la marge africaine, semble se vérifier par l’analyse et à la modélisation de la subsidence. Mais celle-ci montre l’existence d’une fusion adiabatique tardive du manteau supérieur dont le modèle de cisaillement simple ne tient pas compte. Le soulèvement de la marge à la fin du rifting ne serait pas dû uniquement à une dilatation thermique car les données de terrain montrent des discordances angulaires importantes sur la marge africaine. Ce soulèvement est attribué localement à la poussée des rides médio-océaniques naissantes de l’Atlantique et du sillon transformant nord-africain.

La modélisation de la subsidence tectonique permet d’expliquer l’absence d’intumescence sous le Rif. Elle est attribuée aux taux d’amincissement crustaux élevés durant les phases d’extension triasico-jurassiques. Cette approche quantitative confirme l’existence d’un bassin intra-continental avorté au sud-ouest et d’une marge continentale sensu stricto au nord-est. Si l’océanisation paraît plus tardive dans la partie rifaine du sillon transformant nord-africain (Callovien) que dans l’Atlantique Central (Bajocien), la subsidence post-rift ne se distingue pas de celle d’une marge passive classique.  相似文献

Structures of the Bohai Petroliferous Area, Bohai Bay Basin   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

This paper, for the first time, deals with a more systematic study of the structures in the Bohaipetroliferous area that covers nearly one third of the Bohai Bay basin. The study mainly involves the effects of preexisting basement faults on the basin formation, the characteristics of basin geometry and kinetics, the modelling of the tectonic-thermal history, the polycyclicity and heterogeneity in the structural evolution and the natural seismic tomographic images of the crust and upper mantle. The authors analyze the features of the dynamic evolution of the basin in the paper and point out that the basin in the Bohai petroliferous area is an extensional pull-apart basin.  相似文献
