The Term, Lawn, Wide and Doom Supersequences represent tectonically driven, second‐order sedimentary accommodation sequences in the Isa Superbasin. The four supersequences are stacked to form two major depositional wedges or packages extending south from the Murphy Inlier onto the central Lawn Hill Platform. A major intrabasin structure, the Elizabeth Creek Fault Zone separates the two depositional wedges. The Term and Lawn Supersequences each form a thick, crudely fining‐upward sedimentary succession. The basal part of each supersequence comprises sand‐dominated facies, deposited under lowstand conditions. The overlying transgressive deposits comprise thick successions of carbonaceous, shale‐prone sediment that represents times of increased accommodation. Synsedimentary fault activity along the northwest‐trending Termite Range Fault and major northeast‐trending faults including the Elizabeth Creek Fault Zone resulted in overthickened sections of parts of the Term and Lawn Supersequences in regional depocentres. A regional extensional event occurred during Wide Supersequence time, and resulted in strike‐slip deformation, uplift and tilting of fault blocks and erosion of underlying Lawn sequences. This tectonic event created small, fault‐bounded depocentres, where basal silty turbidites of the Wide Supersequence are locally thickened. Denudation of fault blocks in the hinterland provided increasing coarse clastic sediment‐supply forming thick, sand‐dominated, lowstand deposits of the upper Wide Supersequence. Overall, the Wide Supersequence exhibits a coarsening‐upwards facies trend. Tectonic quiescence resulted in the accumulation of siltstone‐dominated transgressive and highstand turbidite deposits in mid‐Wide time. The base of the Doom Supersequence comprises thick, feldspathic, debris‐flow sandstones signalling a new provenance. Decreasing accommodation is reflected by coarsening‐ and shallowing‐upwards facies trends in late Doom time. Declining accommodation and the end of sedimentation in the Isa Superbasin were most likely initiated by deformation at the start of the Isan Orogeny.  相似文献   

贵州锦屏新元古界下江群元素地球化学特征及其与金矿的关系     

张晓东  杨瑞东  刘玲  魏怀瑞 《地质学报》2012,86(2):258-268

在黔东南出露的一套新元古界下江群浅变质碎屑岩中产出众多石英脉型金矿床(点),有关该类矿床的成因问题,特别是金的物质来源一直是研究的热点,因此下江群地层岩石的含金性以及元素地球化学特征也倍受关注。本文对贵州锦屏地区新元古界下江群浅变质岩及典型矿床的微量及稀土元素进行了系统测试,通过对比分析发现:下江群剖面的每个组均富集As、Ba、Zr、Ti;亏损Cr、Rb、Sr、Ta、Sc等元素,从番召组到平略组,元素组合演化呈明显相似性和继承性。含凝灰质多的番召组和清水江组地层中金含量较高,并且含金高的层位稀土含量较低,地层中Au与壳源特征的Ag、Hg、As等低温元素关系最为密切,该区金的迁移、富集可能与地层的热液活动或区域变质作用有密切的关系。围岩、地层岩石与矿石的微量元素特征及REE组成模式体现了地球化学演化上的一致性及继承性,表明该区金矿成矿物质可能主要来自于地层,而平秋金矿部分含金石英脉矿石表现出与围岩地层不同的地球化学特征,其更接近下地壳或上地幔,说明可能有部分深部流体参与成矿。  相似文献   

Controls on forearc basin architecture from seismic and sequence stratigraphy of the Upper Cretaceous Great Valley Group,central Sacramento Basin,California     

《International Geology Review》2012,54(16):2030-2059

Seismic and sequence stratigraphic analysis of deep-marine forearc basin fill (Great Valley Group) in the central Sacramento Basin, California, reveals eight third-order sequence boundaries within the Cenomanian to mid-Campanian second-order sequences. The third-order sequence boundaries are of two types: Bevelling Type, a relationship between underlying strata and onlapping high-density turbidites; and Entrenching Type, a significantly incised surface marked by deep channels and canyons carved during sediment bypass down-slope. Condensed sections of hemipelagic strata draping bathymetric highs and onlapped by turbidites form a third important type of sequence-bounding element, Onlapped Drapes. Five tectonic and sedimentary processes explain this stratigraphic architecture: (1) subduction-related tectonic tilting and deformation of the basin; (2) avulsion of principal loci of submarine fan sedimentation in response to basin tilting; (3) deep incision and sediment bypass; (4) erosive grading and bevelling of tectonically modified topography by sand-rich, high-density turbidite systems; and (5) background hemipelagic sedimentation. The basin-fill architecture supports a model of subduction-related flexure as the principal driver of forearc subsidence and uplift during the Late Cretaceous. Subduction-related tilting of the forearc and growth of the accretionary wedge largely controlled whether and where the Great Valley turbiditic sediments accumulated in the basin. Deeply incised surfaces of erosion, including submarine canyons and channels, indicate periods of turbidity current bypass to deeper parts of the forearc basin or the trench. Fluctuations in sediment supply likely also played an important role in evolution of basin fill, but effects of eustatic fluctuations were overwhelmed by the impact of basin tectonics and sediment supply and capture. Eventual filling and shoaling of the Great Valley forearc during early Campanian time, coupled with dramatically reduced subsidence, correlate with a change in plate convergence, presumed flat-slab subduction, cessation of Sierran arc volcanism, and onset of Laramide orogeny in the retroarc.  相似文献   

Continental flood basalts of the Huashan Group,northern margin of the Yangtze block – implications for the breakup of Rodinia     

《International Geology Review》2012,54(15):1865-1884

It is generally accepted that Neoproterozoic extension and dispersal of the supercontinent Rodinia was associated with mantle plume or superplume activities. However, plume-generated contemporaneous continental flood basalts (CFBs) have rarely been identified. In this study, we present geochronological and geochemical evidence for the basalts from the Liufangzui Formation of the Huashan Group in the Dahongshan region of east-central China. A representative sample yields a SHRIMP U–Pb zircon age of 824 ± 9 Ma, interpreted as the crystallization age of the rocks. Geochemically, these basalts belong to the subalkaline tholeiite series and display slight enrichments in light rare earth elements (LREE) and varying degrees of deficiency of high field strength elements (HFSE) such as Nb, Ta, and Ti. This pattern is very similar to that of CFBs from the Bikou Group and Tiechuanshan Formation in the northwestern Yangtze block in China and Siberia in Russia. The basaltic magmas underwent partially-fractional crystallization during ascent, but were not intensely influenced by crustal contamination. The characteristic element ratios and negative Hf isotopic analyses (?_Hf(t) = ?6.6–2.6) in zircons indicate that the parental magmas of the basalts might have been derived from an enriched lithospheric mantle rather than from the depleted mantle such as normal mid-ocean ridge basalts (N-MORBs). The geochemical signatures and regional geological characteristics show that these basalts were formed along intraplate continental rifts rather than in island arcs or ocean basins. Considering the coeval basic volcanic rocks in South China, we propose that these Huashan Group basalts represent the remnants of plume-generated CFBs and have close spatiotemporal ties with a coeval basic igneous province in Australia. Our results support the Neoproterozoic location of the South China block adjacent to southeastern Australia in the reconstruction model of the supercontinent Rodinia.  相似文献

豫西地区发育大量加里东期的花岗岩,研究这些花岗岩对于了解二郎坪岩群和北秦岭的构造演化具有重要的意义。通过对豫西青岗坪地区侵入二郎坪岩群的花岗闪长岩进行全岩地球化学、锆石U-Pb测年和Hf同位素的综合分析,取得以下初步认识:豫西青岗坪地区花岗闪长岩的形成年龄为475.2Ma±2.7Ma,此年龄限定了二郎坪岩群构造侵位的上限。豫西青岗坪花岗闪长岩具有较低的MgO、Fe2O3、Cr、Ni含量和相对较低的Mg#值,这些地球化学特征表明豫西青岗坪花岗闪长岩应为加厚下地壳部分熔融的产物。结合已有的资料,认为在古生代早期(520～480Ma)北秦岭地区发生了较大规模的陆壳汇聚碰撞,导致下地壳的缩短、叠置,豫西青岗坪花岗闪长岩便是这一俯冲叠置下地壳部分熔融的产物。  相似文献

白垩纪是距今最近的"温室地球"时期,研究其气候演变对认识现今气候环境格局形成及演变具有重要意义。通过对六盘山地区下白垩统六盘山群李洼峡组中段红色、绿色泥岩的元素地球化学特征研究,发现2种泥岩中大部分元素变异趋势相似;化学风化指数(CIA)相当(红色泥岩平均为66.3%,绿色泥岩平均为65.5%),反映中—低化学风化强度;A-CN-K图解显示源岩单一。利用CaCO3质量百分含量,(CaO+Na2O+K2O)/Al2O3,TFeO/Mn,Ti/Sr,Rb/Sr,Sr/Ba比值等指标分析显示泥岩颜色差异与气候背景有关,红色泥岩形成时气候较为稳定,表现为相对湿润且氧化的环境,而绿色泥岩形成时气候波动较大,表现为相对干旱且还原的环境。  相似文献
