Oligocene–Miocene formation of the Haifa basin: Qishon–Sirhan rifting coeval with the Red Sea–Suez rift system

During mid-Oligocene to early-Miocene times the northeastern Afro-Arabian plate underwent changes, from continental breakup along the Red Sea in the south, to continental collision with Eurasia in the north and formation of the N–S trending Dead Sea fault plate boundary. Concurrent uplift and erosion of the entire Levant area led to an incomplete sedimentary record, obscuring reconstructions of the transition between the two tectonic regimes. New well data, obtained on the continental shelf of the central Levant margin (Qishon Yam 1), revealed a uniquely undisturbed sedimentary sequence which covers this time period. Evaporitic facies found in this well have only one comparable location in the entire eastern Mediterranean area (onland and offshore) over the same time frame — the Red Sea–Suez rift system. Analysis of 4150 km of multi and single-channel seismic profiles, offshore central Levant, shows that the sequence was deposited in a narrow basin, restricted to the continental shelf. This basin (the Haifa Basin) evolved as a half graben along the NW trending Carmel fault, which at present is one of the main branches of the Dead Sea fault. Re-evaluation of geological data onland, in view of the new findings offshore, indicates that the Haifa basin is the northwestern-most of a larger series of basins, comprising a failed rift along the Qishon–Sirhan NW–SE trend. This failed rift evolved spatially parallel to the Red Sea–Suez rift system, and at the same time frame. The Carmel fault would therefore seem to be related to processes occurring several million years earlier than previously thought, before the formation of the Dead Sea fault. The development of a series of basins in conjunction with a young spreading center is a known phenomenon in other regions worldwide; however this is the only known example from across the Arabian plate.  相似文献

Initiation of left-lateral deformation along the Ailao Shan–Red River shear zone: new microstructural,textural, and geochronological constraints from the Diancang Shan metamorphic massif,SW Yunnan,China     

《International Geology Review》2012,54(3):348-367

The Diancang Shan metamorphic massif, the northwestern extension of the Ailao Shan Massif, is a typical metamorphic complex situated along the NW–SE-trending Ailao Shan–Red River shear zone. Diancang Shan granitic and amphibolitic mylonites collected from sheared high-grade metamorphic rocks were studied using petrographic and electron-backscatter diffraction techniques. Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe U–Pb dating of zircon grains from the granitic mylonites constrains the timing of shearing. Macro- and microstructural and textural analysis reveals intense plastic deformation of feldspar, quartz, and amphibole under amphibolite-facies conditions, all consistently document left-lateral shearing. Porphyritic monzogranitic mylonite within the shear zone possesses evidence supporting a sequential, progressive process from crystallization during magma emplacement, through submagmatic flow to solid-state plastic deformation. We suggest that the early-kinematic pluton subsequently underwent strong left-lateral strike–slip shearing. The development of complex textures of quartz, feldspar, and amphibole from the granitic and amphibolitic mylonites apparently records successive variation of conditions attending coherent, solid-state high-temperature ductile deformation during regional left-lateral shearing. All magmatic zircons from the mylonitized porphyritic monzogranite give U–Pb ages of 30.95 ± 0.61 million years for the crystallization of the granite. This age provides the timing of onset of left-lateral shearing along the Ailao Shan–Red River shear zone in the Diancang Shan high-grade metamorphic massif.  相似文献   

K-Ar Dating of Fault Gouges from the Red River Fault Zone of Vietnam   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Constraining the timing of fault zone formation is fundamentally important in terms of geotectonics to understand structural evolution and brittle fault processes.This paper presents the first authigenic illite K-Ar age data from fault gouge samples collected from the Red River Shear Zone at Lao Cai province,Vietnam.The fault gouge samples were separated into three grain-size fractions(0.1 μm,0.1-0.4 μm and 0.4-1.0 μm).The results show that the K-Ar age values decrease from coarser to finer grain fractions(24.1 to 19.2 Ma),suggesting enrichment in finer fraction of morerecently grown authigenic illites.The timing of the fault movement are the lower intercept ages at 0%detrital illite(19.2 ± 0.92 Ma and 19.4 ± 0.49 Ma).In combination with previous geochronological data,this result indicates that the metamorphism of the Day Nui Con Voi(DNCV) metamorphic complex took place before ca.26.8 Ma.At about 26.8 Ma-25 Ma,the fault strongly acted to cause the rapid exhumation of the rocks along the Red River-Ailoa Shan Fault Zone(RR-ASFZ).During brittle deformation,the DNCV slowly uplifted,implying weak movement of the fault.This brittle deformation might have lasted for ca.5 Ma.  相似文献   

Geochemistry and origin of the Cretaceous sedimentary kaolin deposits,Red Sea,Egypt     

Hassan M. Baioumy 《Chemie der Erde / Geochemistry》2014

This work reports, for the first time, the mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of the Cretaceous sedimentary kaolin deposits in the Red Sea area, Egypt and sheds the light on their source. Mineralogical and geochemical analyses of both bulk deposits and the sand and clay fractions of these deposits indicated that they are composed of kaolinite (average of 75 wt.%) and quartz (average of 22 wt.%). Traces of anatase (average of 1 wt.%) were identified in all kaolin samples, while traces of halite (average of 2 wt.%) and hematite (average of 1 wt.%) were reported in the majority of the analyzed samples. The clay fractions show relatively high contents of TiO₂ (average of 2.1%), Ni (average of 103 ppm), Nb (average of 98 ppm), Y (average of 67 ppm), and Zr (average of 630 ppm). Sum of the rare earth elements (ΣREE) in the clay fractions varies between 193 and 352 ppm. Chondrite-normalized REE patterns show enrichment of the light REE relative to the heavy REE ((La/Yb)_N = 9) and negative Eu anomaly (Eu*/Eu = 0.67).  相似文献

Brackish water faunas from the St Maughans Formation: The Old Red Sandstone section at Ammons Hill,Hereford and Worcester,UK, re-examined     

W. J. Barclay  P. A. Rathbone  D. E. White  J. B. Richardson 《Geological Journal》1994,29(4):369-379

The disused railway cutting at Ammons Hill, Hereford and Worcester, exposes a sequence of beds belonging to the Devonian St Maughans Formation of Lochkovian (Gedinnian) age. The beds are of Old Red Sandstone facies, but contain brackish water faunas. These faunas occur at a level generally considered to be above the level of marine influence that affected the older Raglan Mudstone Formation of mainly Přídolí Series age. The section, described by King in 1934, is now overgrown, but was excavated in 1986 by the British Geological Survey during its survey of the Worcester 1:50000 sheet. The evidence of the section calls for slight amendment of Allen's (1985) model of an interrupted transition from marine deposition in Ludlow time to freshwater deposition in Gedinnian time that was complete by the time of the formation of a regionally extensive calcrete palaeosol, the Psammosteus Limestone. Subsequent transgressive events took place before the establishment of apparently wholly fluvial and floodplain environments.  相似文献   

Palynofloras from tournaisian lacustrine and tidal sequences in slieve bloom,counties laois and offaly,Ireland     

James B. Keegan  John Feehan 《Geological Journal》1981,16(4):271-285

Tournaisian miospore assemblages are used to determine the age of some plant-bearing horizons in the Old Red Sandstone succession of the Slieve Bloom Mountains, Counties Laois and Offaly, Ireland, and the sedimentology and conditions of deposition of the productive lithologies are described. The age of the marine transgression which terminated continental sedimentation is indicated, and the associated depositional environment is discussed. Comparisons are made with other micro- and macrofloras from Ireland, Britain, Canada, the U.S.S.R. and Bear Island.  相似文献
