Abstract   The lithology of shallow-water carbonates collected from 19 sites on 16 seamounts in six areas of the northwestern Pacific Ocean using the Deep-sea Boring Machine System are described. The areas include the Amami Plateau, Daito Ridge, Oki-Daito Ridge, Urdaneta Plateau, Kyushu-Palau Ridge and Ogasawara Plateau. Chronological constraint is provided by calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy, planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy, larger foraminiferal biostratigraphy and strontium (Sr) isotope stratigraphy. Large amounts of shallow-water carbonates accumulated on the seamounts during the Oligocene, a relatively cool period, whereas limited carbonate deposits formed during the Early Miocene, a relatively warm period. This might indicate that deposition of shallow-water carbonates on seamounts in the northwestern Pacific Ocean was not necessarily controlled by climatic conditions, but was related to volcanism and tectonics that served as foundations for reef/carbonate-platform formation. Remarkable differences in biotic composition exist between Cretaceous and Cenozoic shallow-water carbonates. Late Cretaceous shallow-water carbonates are distinguished by the occurrence of rudists, solenoporacean algae and microencrusters. Middle Eocene to Early Oligocene shallow-water carbonates are dominated by Halimeda or nummulitid and discocyclinid larger foraminifers. Scleractinian corals became common from the Oligocene onward. Nongeniculate coralline algae and larger foraminifers were common to abundant throughout the Eocene to the Pleistocene. The replacement of major carbonate producers in the shallow-water carbonate factory during post-Cretaceous time is in accordance with previous studies and is considered to reflect a shift in seawater chemistry.  相似文献   

Simulation of the dissolution of weathered versus unweathered limestone in carbonic acid solutions of varying strength     

M. J. Thornbush  H. A. Viles 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2007,32(6):841-852

A simulation was undertaken within a climatic chamber to investigate limestone dissolution under varied carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) strengths as a possible analogue for future increases in atmospheric CO₂ arising from global warming. Twenty‐eight samples cut from a block of Bath (Box Hill) limestone from Somerville College, Oxford, which had been removed during restoration after 150 years in an urban environment, were weighed and placed in closed bottles of thin plastic containing varying concentrations of H₂CO₃. Half of the stone samples were derived from exposed surfaces of the stone block (weathered) while the others were obtained from the centre of the block on unexposed surfaces (unweathered). The purpose of this was to compare dissolution of previously weathered versus unweathered surfaces in strong (pH 4·73) versus weak (pH 6·43) solutions of H₂CO₃. A temperature of c. 19 °C was maintained within the chamber representing a plausible future temperature in Oxford for the year 2200 given current warming scenarios. The simulation lasted 25 days with a few stone samples being removed midway. Stone samples show reduced weight in all cases but one. There was greater dissolution of stone samples in a strong H₂CO₃ solution as conveyed by higher concentrations of total hardness and Ca²⁺ in the water samples as well as enhanced microscopic dissolution features identified using SEM. The simulation confirms that enhanced atmospheric CO₂ under global warming, given adequate moisture, will accelerate dissolution rates particularly of newly replaced limestone building stones. However, previously weathered surfaces, such as those on historical stone exposed for a century or more, appear to be less susceptible to the effects of such increased rainfall acidity. Conservation techniques which remove weathered surfaces, such as stone cleaning, may accelerate future decay of historical limestone structures by increasing their susceptibility to dissolution.

塔里木盆地西南依格孜牙组与卡拉塔尔组灰岩碳、氧同位素特征     

李滨阳  周瑶琪  吴绍祖  李永安 《新疆地质》2002,20(Z1):88-90

对塔里木盆地西南依格孜牙组和卡拉塔尔组灰岩碳、氧同位素特征研究结果表明,上白垩统依格孜牙组δ13C(PDB标准)平均值为3.79‰,δ18O(PDB标准)平均值为-3.49‰;古近系卡拉塔尔组灰岩δ13C(PDB标准)平均值为2.09‰,δ18O(PDB标准)平均值为-4.54‰.与前人和世界其他剖面数据对比认为,碳同位素比较稳定,能够反映其沉积时的特征,而氧同位素变化较大,可能受沉积后作用的影响.依格孜牙组与卡拉塔尔组灰岩碳同位素具较大差异,主要受陆源环境(？)物质的注入,海水盐度、生物作用和古大气CO2含量等因素的影响.  相似文献

藏南岗巴-定日地区发育着西藏最晚期的海相沉积，对这套海相沉积的研究，可提供关于西藏特提斯演化晚期的良好信息，本文对岗巴-定日地区始新世遮普惹组的化石碳酸盐岩微相进行了较为详细的分析和研究。参考Wilson(1975)的标准微相，初步识别出10种微相和5种生物相类型。同时对遮普惹组中的砾状灰岩的成因机制作了有益的探讨，它完全是由沉积作用而成；胶结物不是源于物质的重新分配，而是台地边缘斜坡的等深流沉积。以此为基础，对西藏特提斯晚期沉积环境的演变进行了较为详细的分析。笔者认为：岗巴-定日盆地在始新世Ypresian-Lutetian早期接受海侵；自Lutetian晚期开始，区内总体处于一种海退环境，但由于受板块碰撞作用的影响，岗巴地区在Lutetian晚期-Bartonian晚期成为-深水坳陷盆地；至Priabonian早期，海水完全退出本区。  相似文献   

灰岩成因-结构分类的进展及其相关问题讨论   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11  

梅冥相 《地质科技情报》2001,20(4):12-18

由Folk在1959，1962年及Dunham在1962年所提出的灰岩因－结构分类体系，具有划时代的意义，至今还得到极为广泛的应用，Embry和Klovan在1971年关于生物礁灰岩的成因－结构分类，即关于骨架灰岩，障积灰岩，粘结灰岩的成因－结构分类的第一次重要的补充，它解决了与生物作用有关的灰岩不符合Folk和Dunham的结构成熟度概念的矛盾，而对成岩作用及其产物的更深入研究，地质学家们发现了许多布成岩作用形成的泥晶化作用和颗粒化作用，由它们所形成的岩石也不符合Folk和Dunbam的结构成熟度概念，导致了Wright在1992年提出了一个更完整的灰岩成因－结构分类体系，把灰岩分为生物作用类，沉积作用类及成岩作用类三大类，即Folk和Dumban描述的分类均属于沉积作用类。要特别指出的是，在从松散沉积物到已石化的竖硬石头的成岩过程中，不但灰岩的结构会发生变化，而且组分也会发生变化，从而使灰岩的成因－结构分类变得更加复杂，关于这方面还存在许多有待进一步研究的问题。在审视Wright在1992年的分类体系时，有必要在沉积作用类中增加“非正常沉积作用亚类灰岩”，针对许多非礁相地层中发育的由生物礁岩石构成的生物层及生物丘，因而有必要对生物作用灰灰岩进行更进一步的分类。  相似文献   

Engineering Geology of Limestone in Malaysia     

TAN Boon-Kong 《《地质学报》英文版》2001,75(3):316-324

This paper provides an overview of the engineering geology of limestone. Limestone is of rather wide occurrence in Malaysia. It is interesting in view of the unique landforms and karstic features that are encountered in limestone terrains, e.g. steep, subvertical limestone cliffs rising abruptly and majestically above the ground surface and highly variable and pinnacled subterranean limestone bedrock. The karstic features and associated engineering geological problems of both the limestone hills and the bedrock are discussed in the paper. Rockfalls, sinkholes, cavities, etc. are some of the common engineering geological problems associated with limestone terrains. Some local case studies are provided as illustrations. Finally the rock mechanical properties of limestone is discussed at the end of the paper.  相似文献   

奥陶系宝塔组灰岩的环境相、生态相与成岩相   总被引：12，自引：0，他引：12

晚奥陶世宝塔组灰岩在上、中、下扬子碳酸盐沉积区分布极为广泛，因其层面上注记着不规则状、类似鸡冠花的形态特征，因而素以加引号的“龟裂纹灰岩”称之，以此代表宝塔组灰岩特有的沉积构造，以致于两者为同一词。宝塔组灰岩是地质历史中仅有的、唯一的在层面上具有特殊网纹的形态组构，其他时代的灰岩均无此特点，因而它是地质历史中的“时髦相”。形成这一组构可能有三个因素：一是盆地的沉积－构造背景，华南晚奥陶世为前陆盆地，前隆的结果使建筑在克拉通上的碳酸盐大平台构造掀斜，成为浅海中的深水盆地，为低能、慢速沉积的灰泥岩、泥灰岩提供了宽大而平坦的构造－沉积环境空间；二是深水环境中的生态和生物遗迹，由游泳型角石和与之能抗衡的大型软体生物在软底上和沉积物内留下活动的印迹；三是灰泥和泥质物成岩压实作用，叠加在印痕上，因此，宝塔组灰岩“龟裂纹”组构的形成是构造－沉积环境相、生态相和成岩相的产物。  相似文献

通过热源法对陡河水库渗漏通道的探测发现,陡河水库左坝肩存在着绕坝渗漏通道。在左坝肩基岩10m高程附近存在低温场异常,通过对水库底部附近温度场分布测量,判定出低温水来自上游右支河水的补给,通过低温区分布确定出绕坝渗漏强渗漏通道的位置,在库水位保持在32m时,根据热源法计算出渗漏通道的渗漏量在3.59×105~4.74×105m3/d之间,钻孔发现水库边基岩中的水位比库水位低22m,水位差是造成了水库跌窝事故的主要原因,在11#钻孔中发现了来自河床的细砂,在11#和9#孔中的连通试验证实基岩中的强渗漏通道。  相似文献
