The stratigraphy of the Drummuck Group (Ashgill), Girvan     

D. A. T. Harper 《Geological Journal》1982,17(4):251-277

The Drummuck Group of the Girvan district (S. W. Scotland) comprises a varied sequence of marine siliciclastic sedimentary rocks some 350 m thick and ranging in age from early Cautleyan to late Rawtheyan (Ashgill Series). Deposition in an unstable slope environment is envisaged. These upper Ordovician rocks crop out in the centre of the Craighead inlier, north of the Girvan valley and are sporadically exposed and locally very fossiliferous. A detailed revision of the Drummuck rocks has permitted, for the first time, the formal lithostratigraphical division of the group. Four main units, in ascending order, the Auldthorns, Quarrel Hill, Lady Burn and South Threave formations are recognized and, within these, a number of smaller, useful divisions are defined. Detailed geological maps of the Drummuck outcrop are presented. Brachiopods numerically dominate the shelly faunas and all the divisions named are characterized by distinctive brachiopod assemblages. Preliminary correlations are discussed with selected upper Ordovician successions elsewhere but the emphasis of this study is placed upon the establishment of a stratigraphical framework within which future detailed research on the Drummuck faunas may be carried out.  相似文献   

A review of Middle Ordovician sedimentation in the St. Lawrence Lowland,eastern Canada     

T. L. Harland  R. K. Pickerill 《Geological Journal》1982,17(2):135-156

Middle Ordovician sediments of the St. Lawrence Lowland, eastern Canada, and its northeastward extension to St-Siméon, are subdivided into the numerous formations of the Chazy, Black River and Trenton Groups. Details of each formation and interpretation of environments of deposition are presented and a coherent model for the development of the upper Middle Ordovician Trenton Group throughout the region is presented. In the southwest, around Montreal, a complete and continuous Middle Ordovician sequence is present and Trenton Group sediments overlie well-developed tidal flat and lagoonal (Black River Group) and mixed shallow subtidal (Chazy Group) sediments. This sequence was deposited on a slowly subsiding, essentially flat, broad shelf environment. Northeastward from Montreal, toward the Montmorency Promontory of the Quebec City area, basal Middle Ordovician sediments become younger and the extent of the shelf area narrowed significantly. The latter resulted in skeletal shoal sediments (lower Trenton Group) developing closer to shore and concomitant less well-developed clastic-rich lagoonal sediments (Black River Group and basal Trenton Group). At Montmorency Promontory the shoal sediments (basal Trenton Group) accumulated along an irregular and rugged coastline. Northeast of the Promontory a steep onshore to offshore profile and rapidly deposited basal inshore clastics (Black River Group) precluded the deposition of skeletal shoals and rapid submergence promoted the early development of deeper shelf (middle and upper Trenton Group) and slope and basin (top Trenton Group, Saint Irénée Formation) sediments. In contrast, corresponding offshore sediments (middle and upper Trenton Group) in the southwest reflect a lower depositional gradient and more gradual subsidence. These patterns of deposition were determined by the interaction of the changing nature of the Ordovician coastline southwest, at, and northeast of the Montmorency Promontory and the variable subsidence rates influenced by the eastward evolving Taconic Orogen.  相似文献   

红层砂岩纳米级致色剂赋存状态及地质意义——以鄂尔多斯盆地下白垩统志丹群红层砂岩为例

红层是地球上广泛分布且具有特定指示环境意义的沉积物,一般认为在水体氧化环境下形成的赤铁矿胶结物是其主要致色矿物。目前,针对红层致色矿物的研究多停留在矿物识别层面,缺乏对其微观赋存状态及成因机制的深入研究。本文以鄂尔多斯盆地下白垩统志丹群陆相红层为例,采用岩芯- 薄片- 阴极发光- 氩离子抛光扫描电镜的多尺度表征技术,首次揭示了红层砂岩纳米级致色剂——赤铁矿胶结物的微观赋存状态,并在此基础重新探讨了其成因机制。研究发现,红层砂岩致色剂赤铁矿胶结物主要为针状或片状,具有两种微观赋存状态：① 呈包裹型发育在净砂岩的颗粒周缘,单个矿物颗粒长度在500~1000 nm之间,宽度在50 nm以下;② 呈充填型发育在黏土矿物及云母等矿物颗粒的解理缝中,常常顺解理定向排列,受解理缝空间限制,单个矿物颗粒更小,长度一般小于500 nm,宽度在30 nm以下。红层砂岩中赤铁矿的产状和赋存状态表明其为褐铁矿早期脱水形成,在此之后又发育两期方解石胶结物,因此赤铁矿胶结物应主要形成于沉积和浅埋藏期,而非沉积后的抬升期。砂岩中赤铁矿胶结物的形成过程指示了一个干旱内陆沉积背景下大气水氧含量高的环境特征,这同样也是地质历史时期内的冰室状态,说明鄂尔多斯盆地下白垩统志丹群的红层砂岩对研究该时期全球冰室状态也具有重要启示意义。  相似文献   

Peat formation and accumulation mechanism in northern marginal basin of South China Sea

In the present study, the coal-rock organic facies of Oligocene Yacheng Formation of the marginal basin in the South China Sea were classified and divided. In addition, through the correlations of the large-scale coal-bearing basins between the epicontinental sea and the South China Sea, it was concluded that the coal forming activities in the South China Sea presented particularity and complexity. Furthermore, the coal forming mechanisms also presented distinctiveness. The marginal basins in the South China Sea consist of several large and complex rift or depression basins, which are distributed at different tectonic positions in the South China Sea. Therefore, the marginal basins in the South China Sea are not simple traditional units with onshore continental slopes extending toward the deep sea. The marginal basins are known to consist of multi-level structures and distinctive types of basins which differ from the continental regions to the sea. During the Oligocene, the existing luxuriant plants and beneficial conditions assisted in the development of peat. Therefore, the Oligocene was the significant period for the formation and aggregation of the peat. However, the peat did not form in unified sedimentary dynamic fields,but instead displayed multi-level geographical units, multiple provenance areas, instability, and nonevent characteristics. As a result, the marginal basins in the South China Sea are characterized by non-uniform peat aggregation stages. In another words, the majority of the peat had entered the marine system in a dispersive manner and acted as part of the marine deposits, rather than during one or several suitable coal-forming stages.These peat deposits then became the main material source for hydrocarbon generation in all of the marginal basins of the South China Sea. The study will be of much significance for the hydrocarbon exploration in the marginal basins of the South China Sea.  相似文献

复州区金县群出露子复州城西瓦房、复州湾五行山和赵坎子地区。复州区金县群的剖面结构和地层特征和金州区金县群基本一致,其中十三里台组、马家屯组不仅岩性基本相同,而且含相同的叠层石组合,这表明复州—大连凹陷在晚先寒武纪时期为同一海盆地。复州区袁家沟—赵坎子一带缺失马家屯组以上沉积,寒武系大林子组直接覆于其上,表明复州湾区地壳曾一度抬升,出现了两凹夹一中隆的构造格局。  相似文献   

熊耳群碲化物型金矿硫铅同位素及其成矿作用探讨     

丁士应  任富根  李增慧  赵加农  高亚东  王振宇 《河南国土资源》1995,(4)

熊耳群火山岩中产出各种类型的金矿床，碲化物型（构造蚀变岩型）是金矿主要类型，该类型余矿以出现大量碲化物或富碲、硒为特征．硫化物δ￣（３４）Ｓ以较大的负值为特征，本文通过综合研究及与国内外行关矿床对比，认为该碲化物型金矿δ￣（３４）Ｓ负值的主要原因是地表水的渗透参与导致成矿热液物理化学条件改变，ｆｏ＿２升高、ｐＨ值降低，从而引起硫同位素强烈分馏形成的。有关铅同位素组成具深源壳幔混合（染）特征，显示成矿物质来源于熊耳群富钾火山岩系。该类型金矿床成矿作用为上升岩浆与下渗地表水共同作用形成浅成热液系统，在剪切带内氧化环境下液体的稀释和冷却是金沉淀的主要原因。其成因类型应属浅成低温热液富碲化物型金矿。  相似文献   

Late superhumps and the stream–disc impact in IY UMa     

Daniel J. Rolfe  Carole A. Haswell  Joseph Patterson 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2001,324(3):529-536

We present two simple dynamical models for Sagittarius based on N -body simulations of the progressive disruption of a satellite galaxy orbiting for 12.5 Gyr within a realistic Galactic potential. In both models the satellite initially has observable properties similar to those of current outlying dwarfs; in one case it is purely stellar while in the other it is embedded in an extended massive halo. The purely stellar progenitor is a King model with a total velocity dispersion of 18.9 km s⁻¹, a core radius of 0.44 kpc and a tidal radius of 3 kpc. The initial stellar distribution in the other case follows a King profile with the same core radius, a slightly larger total velocity dispersion and similar extent. Both these models are consistent with all published data on the current Sagittarius system, they match not only the observed properties of the main body of Sagittarius, but also those reported for unbound debris at larger distances.  相似文献   

Additional members of the local group of galaxies and quantized redshifts within the two nearest groups     

Halton Arp 《Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy》1987,8(3):241-255

Galaxies of redshiftz ≲ 1000 km s⁻¹ are investigated. In the South Galactic Hemisphere there are two large concentrations of these galaxies. One is in the direction of the centre of the Local Group, roughly aligned with M 31 and M 33. The other concentration is centred almost 80 degrees away on the sky and involves the next nearest galaxies to the Local Group, NGC 55, NGC 300 and NGC 253. The large scale and isolation of these concentrations, and the continuity of their redshifts require that they are all galaxies at the same, relatively close distance of the brightest group members. The fainter members of the group have higher redshifts, mimicking to some extent a Hubble relation. But if they are all at the same average distance the higher redshifts must be due to a cause other than velocity. The redshifts of the galaxies in the central areas of these groups all obey a quantization interval of δcz₀ = 72.4 kms⁻¹. This is the same quantization found by William Tifft, and later by others, in all physical groups and pairs which have been tested. The quantization discovered here, however, extends over a larger interval in redshift than heretofore encountered. The majority of redshifts used in the present analysis are accurate to ± 8 km s⁻¹. The deviation of those redshifts from multiples of 72.4 km s^-1 averages ±8.2 km s⁻¹. The astonishing result, however, is that for those redshifts which are known more accurately, the deviation from modulo 72.4 drops to a value between 3 and 4 km s⁻¹! The amount of relative velocity allowed these galaxies is therefore implied to be less than this extremely small value.  相似文献
