Fault deformation mechanisms and fault rocks in micritic limestones: Examples from Corinth rift normal faults     

《Journal of Structural Geology》2015

A multidisciplinary study investigates the influence of different parameters on fault rock architecture development along normal faults affecting non-porous carbonates of the Corinth rift southern margin. Here, some fault systems cut the same carbonate unit (Pindus), and the gradual and fast uplift since the initiation of the rift led to the exhumation of deep parts of the older faults. This exceptional context allows superficial active fault zones and old exhumed fault zones to be compared.Our approach includes field studies, micro-structural (optical microscope and cathodoluminescence), geochemical analyses (δ¹³C, δ¹⁸O, trace elements) and fluid inclusions microthermometry of calcite sin-kinematic cements.Our main results, in a depth-window ranging from 0 m to about 2500 m, are: i) all cements precipitated from meteoric fluids in a close or open circulation system depending on depth; ii) depth (in terms of P/T condition) determines the development of some structures and their sealing; iii) lithology (marly levels) influences the type of structures and its cohesive/non-cohesive nature; iv) early distributed rather than final total displacement along the main fault plane is the responsible for the fault zone architecture; v) petrophysical properties of each fault zone depend on the variable combination of these factors.  相似文献   

Molecular and stable carbon isotopic compositions of hopanoids in seep carbonates from the South China Sea continental slope     

《Journal of Asian Earth Sciences》2014

The lipid biomarkers of hopanoids in cold seep carbonates from the South China Sea continental slope were investigated by gas chromatography–mass spectrometer (GC–MS) and gas chromatography-isotope ratio-mass spectrometer (GC-ir-MS). The distribution of hopanes/hopenes shows a preference for the ‘biological’ 17β(H), 21β(H)-over the ‘geological’ 17α(H), 21β(H)-configuration. This interpretation is in agreement with the strong odd–even preference of long-chain n-alkanes in those samples, suggesting that the ββ hopanes may be the early diagenetic products of biohopanoids and the αβ, βα configurations of hopanes were mainly derived from allochthonous sources contributing to the organic matter of the carbonates. In terms of hopanoid acids, the C₃₀ to C₃₃ 17β(H), 21β(H)-hopanoid acids were detected with C₃₂ 17β(H), 21β(H)-hopanoid acid being the most abundant. However, there is a significant difference in stable carbon isotopic compostions of the C₃₂ 17β(H), 21β(H)-hopanoic acid among samples (−30.7‰ to −69.8‰). The δ¹³C values match well with the carbon isotopic compositions of SRB-derived iso-/anteiso-C_15:0 fatty acids in the samples, which strongly depend on the carbon utilization types by microbe. The most abundant compound of hopanols detected in the samples, C₃₀-17β(H), 21β(H)-hopanol, may be a good indicator of diagenetic product of type I methanotrophs. The molecular and carbon isotopic compositions of hopanoids demonstrate clearly that there is a combination contribution of both SRB and type I or type X methanotrophs to the source organism in the seep carbonates from the South China Sea continental slope.  相似文献

Early Cretaceous atmospheric pCO₂ levels recorded from pedogenic carbonates in China   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

C.M. Huang  G.J. Retallack 《Cretaceous Research》2012,33(1):42-49

Pedogenic carbonates were collected from Early Cretaceous strata in Sichuan and Liaoning, China. These paleosol carbonates and calcareous paleosols were evaluated in order to reconstruct atmospheric CO₂ concentrations during the Early Cretaceous using a paleosol barometer. Using the isotopic ratios of pedogenic carbonates from Early Cretaceous (early-middle Berriasian, early Valanginian) strata in Sichuan Basin, averaged atmospheric pCO₂ is estimated to have been 360 ppmv in the early-middle Berriasian and a mean value of 241 ppmv in the early Valanginian. In the late Barremian in western Liaoning, however the average was 530 ppmv, with a range of 365 ppmv and 644 ppmv, lower than previous estimates of pCO₂ for these time periods, consistent with the suggestion of overall climate cooling and paleotemperature fluctuation during the Early Cretaceous. This indicates that not all of the Cretaceous was a high or continuous CO₂ greenhouse, especially during Early Cretaceous.  相似文献   

Sedimentology,palaeoenvironments and biostratigraphy of the Pliocene–Pleistocene carbonate platform of Grande‐Terre (Guadeloupe,Lesser Antilles forearc)

Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits from Grande‐Terre (Guadeloupe archipelago, French Lesser Antilles) provide a remarkable example of an isolated carbonate system built in an active margin setting, with sedimentation controlled by both rapid sea‐level changes and tectonic movements. Based on new field, sedimentological and palaeontological analyses, these deposits have been organized into four sedimentary sequences (S1 to S4) separated by three subaerial erosion surfaces (SB0, SB1 and SB2). Sequences S1 and S2 (‘Calcaires inférieurs à rhodolithes’) deposited during the Late Zanclean to Early Gelasian (planktonic foraminiferal Zones PL2 to PL5) in low subsidence conditions, on a distally steepened ramp dipping eastward. Red algal‐rich deposits, which dominate the western part of Grande‐Terre, change to planktonic foraminifer‐rich deposits eastward. Vertical movements of tens of metres were responsible for the formation of SB0 and SB1. Sequence S3 (‘Formation volcano‐sédimentaire’, ‘Calcaires supérieurs à rhodolithes’ and ‘Calcaires à Agaricia’) was deposited during the Late Piacenzian to Early Calabrian (Zones PL5 to PT1a) on a distally steepened, red algal‐dominated ramp that changes upward into a homoclinal, coral‐dominated ramp. Deposition of Sequence S3 occurred during a eustatic cycle in quiet tectonic conditions. Its uppermost boundary, the major erosion surface SB2, is related to the Cala1 eustatic sea‐level fall. Finally, Sequence S4 (‘Calcaires à Acropora’) probably formed during the Calabrian, developing as a coral‐dominated platform during a eustatic cycle in quiet tectonic conditions. The final emergence of the island could then have occurred in Late Calabrian times.  相似文献   

Kenn Plateau off northeast Australia: a continental fragment in the southwest Pacific jigsaw     

N. F. Exon  P. J. Hill  Y. Lafoy  C. Heine  G. Bernardel 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(4):541-564

The submarine Kenn Plateau, with an area of about 140 000 km², lies some 400 km east of central Queensland beyond the Marion Plateau. It is one of several thinned continental fragments east of Australia that were once part of Australia, and it originally fitted south of the Marion Plateau and as far south as Brisbane. It is cut into smaller blocks by east- and northeast-trending faults, with thinly sedimented basement highs separated by basins containing several kilometres of sediment. In the Cretaceous precursor of the Kenn Plateau, Late Triassic to Late Cretaceous basins probably rested unconformably on Palaeozoic to Triassic rocks of the New England Fold Belt. Rift volcanism was common on the northern plateau and was probably of Early Cretaceous age. Late Cretaceous extension and breakup were followed by Paleocene drifting, and the Kenn Plateau moved to the northeast, rotated 30° anticlockwise and left space that was filled by Tasman Basin oceanic basalts. During these events, siliciclastic sediments poured into the basins from the continental mainland and from locally eroding highs. After a regional Late Paleocene to Early Eocene unconformity, siliciclastic sedimentation resumed in proximal areas. In deep water, radiolarian chalks were widely deposited until biosiliceous sediment accumulation ended at the regional Late Eocene to Early Oligocene unconformity, and warming surface waters led to accumulation of pure biogenic carbonates. Calcarenite formed in shallow water on the margins of the subsiding plateau from the Middle Eocene onward. Some seismic profiles show Middle to Late Eocene compression related to New Caledonian obduction to the east. Hotspots formed parts of two volcanic chains on or near the plateau as it moved northward: Late Eocene and younger volcanics of the Tasmantid chain in the west, and Late Oligocene and younger volcanics of the Lord Howe chain in the east. As the volcanoes subsided, they were fringed by reefs, some of which have persisted until the present day. Other reefs have not kept up with subsidence, so guyots formed. The plateau has subsided 2000 m or more since breakup and is now subject solely to pelagic carbonate sedimentation.  相似文献   

岩芯尺度的宽频介电常数频谱实验室测量设备的误差分析及其在物质测量中的应用(英文)     

张天华  AL-OFI Salah  Mahmood Akbar 《地球物理学进展》2012,27(2):582-595

宽频介电常数频谱测井技术最近被引进石油工业.这种新技术区别于传统介电常数测井技术在于多频率频谱的测定和利用.高频谱端包含介质油水饱和度信息,而低频谱端对介质中孔隙结构和水的分布形态很敏感.这种新技术可以有效地被应用于比如超淡水介质或者超黏度重油等对于常规测井来说是很困难的测量环境,而且受介质水中的含盐度影响很小.随着井下测井仪器的投入使用,相应的实验室岩芯测定设备和方法就变得重要起来.因为实验室环境相对较为稳定和可控,实验室岩芯测量结果是对井下测量的很好地验证和校订.文献中记载了许多非破坏性的实验室介电常数的测量设备,然而这些设备的共同局限性是它们对岩芯尺寸和岩芯样本的要求和限制,一般要求粉末状岩芯或者一厘米左右的小柱状岩芯.在碳酸盐介质中,非均匀性和各项异性非常普遍,小的岩芯样本能否涵盖井下设备测量尺度(1.5英寸)的特性很值得商榷.本文中介绍了一种最新设计的实验室大直径宽频介电常数测量设备.这个设备可以直接测量石油工业传统的1.5英寸岩芯样本,测量是非毁坏性的,也就是测量后的岩芯样本可以直接用于其它实验室测量设备,比如电阻率测量或核磁共振测量等.大量重复性试验测得的介电常数色散频谱的精确度对于低损耗介质在2%以内而对于高损耗介质在对孔隙度和含盐度校正以后精确度在3%.文中详细介绍了测量设备所使用的反演程序的算法模型,以及反演误差的算法.反演最后的误差可以用来做数据质量的评定.该测量装置被用于许多物质的测定.测定物质的数据库中合成石英(fused quartz),Teflon,合成陶瓷以及单晶硅的介电常数值可以在文献中找到.该设备的测量结果与文献参考值相符合,说明了该设备测量结果的可靠性.该设备还测量了矿物晶体碳酸钙,晶体白云石以及晶体硬石膏的介电常数,这是常见的碳酸盐介质的主要成分.这些测量给出了碳酸盐介质的边界成分区域值作为参考.该设备测量的两个单晶硅柱状样本的介电常数频谱特性发现退火会改变晶体的结构提高强度,同时会改变介质介电常数的特性.同时矿物晶体碳酸钙测量值高于粉末状测量结果也说明晶体结构可能会导致介电常数测量的不同.该设备具有1.5英寸的大尺度,因此具有和井下设备相仿的测量范围,因而不受介质水平各项异性的影响.但另一方面,该设备仍可以研究垂直各项异性.垂直各项异性的主要原因可能是化学成分不同,孔隙结构不对称或者温度对水分布的影响等等.在对岩石地面露头采样的研究中,宽频介电常数频谱实验室设备检测出了岩芯垂直各项异性,通过对比核磁共振一维孔隙度剖面结构发现总孔隙度不均衡以及分布不对称为该各项异性的主要来源,并且被CT图像所证实.  相似文献   

电成像测井孔隙度分析技术及其在碳酸盐岩储层产能预测中的应用     

李晓辉  周彦球  缑艳红  王玉华  姜宝彦 《吉林大学学报(地球科学版)》2012,42(4):928-934

深入研究了电成像测井的测量方式,提出一种基于电成像低频分量的电阻率刻度公式,结合Archie公式并引入常规测井数据及处理成果,严格推导出一种可将电成像测井数据直接标定为孔隙度的算法。此方法省略了先作电阻率刻度再应用Archie公式等中间步骤,处理过程得以简化,并可消除Archie公式中a、b、n、S_xo、R_mf等参数以及浅侧向测井R_LLS等因素对处理结果的影响,较大程度地实现了数据的自适应性处理。在此基础上,对孔隙度频谱进行多种统计分析,开展了类似核磁的区间孔隙度分析以及类似油藏描述中渗透率评价的孔隙度径向非均质性分析,将研究成果应用于碳酸盐岩储层产能预测中,引入“孔隙贡献因子”概念,并通过测井资料和试油资料建立了“孔隙度贡献因子”与储层产油强度的定量关系。  相似文献
