New evidences of hydrothermal fluids circulation at the Devonian Kess Kess mounds,Hamar Laghdad (eastern Anti‐Atlas,Morocco)     

Fulvio Franchi  Barbara Cavalazzi  Catherine Pierre  Roberto Barbieri 《Geological Journal》2015,50(5):634-650

New evidences based on a combination of field and laboratory investigations reinforce the hypotheses that the circulation of warm fluids has remarkably contributed to the origin and development of the Devonian Kess Kess mounds of the Hamar Laghdad Ridge (eastern Anti‐Atlas, Morocco). The limestones of the Hamar Laghdad Ridge were deposited above a structural high generated by calc‐alkaline volcanic activity that has probably fuelled the circulation of warm fluids throughout the overlying carbonate units. The geological and palaeontological attributes described throughout the succession of the Hamar Laghdad Ridge (from the Lochkovian to Frasnian intervals) are interpreted as the result of hydrothermal processes related to a volcanic system. In particular, these attributes seem consistent with a chemo‐physical environment fuelled by the circulation of warm and late magmatic fluids. These attributes include a very low oxygen stable isotope signature (δ¹⁸O ~ −10‰) for carbonates. Evidences for a late magmatic fluid circulation consist of volcanic glass and pyroclasts replacement with hydrothermal minerals such as quartz, anatase and clinochlore. Fluids circulating through veins and pores into sediments, and venting to the seafloor, probably induced the formation of cavities where monospecific trilobite communities were detected. The partially silicified trilobite remains are associated with traces of goethite. This iron‐bearing oxide mineral is also present in the upper part of the Hamar Laghdad Ridge. All these attributes are here interpreted as possible evidences for a low‐temperature hydrothermal venting system active during the Lochkovian–Frasnian time span. This study combines an updated revision with new petrographic, geological and geochemical results aimed at providing an overall framework on the origin and early diagenesis of the Devonian succession of Hamar Laghdad.

广西南宁地区泥盆系硅质岩地球化学特征及沉积环境   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  

王卓卓  陈代钊  汪建国 《沉积学报》2007,25(2):239-245

泥盆纪时,广西南宁附近发育了一套从早泥盆世埃姆斯期到晚泥盆世弗拉斯期末的硅质岩建造,硅质岩多为薄层,灰黑到黑色,至弗拉斯阶上部变为灰黄色,水平纹理发育,常夹火山凝灰岩或与之互层。这套硅质岩SiO2含量高（一般>90％）,其他主量化学成分均很低（一般<5%）。TFe2O3和含量相对比较富集（平均含量3.32％）, Al2O3、TiO2、MgO和MnO相对贫乏（平均含量分别为0.71％、0.04％、0.10％和0.02％）。常量元素Fe/Ti、（Fe+Mn）/Ti和Al/（Al+Fe+Mn）比值的平均值分别为91.65,92.12和0.25,微量元素Ti/V和U/Th比值的平均值分别为4.57和4.09,其中U/Th比值在弗拉斯期早期达到最大。这些数据说明,硅质岩在形成时受到了明显的海底热液活动影响,而这种热液活动在弗拉斯期早期达到最强,后逐渐减弱,而热液活动的强度可能主要受盆地裂解（或张裂作用）的影响;因此,盆地拉张作用在弗拉斯期早期达到最强,这与硅质岩的空间分布是吻合的。  相似文献   

Lower Devonian tempestites in western Yangtze,South China: insight from Zoophycos ichnofabrics     

Li‐Jun Zhang 《Geological Journal》2014,49(2):177-187

A Lower Devonian (Emsian) tempestite in the western Yangtze plate, China, was studied based on ichnological and stratigraphical features. The results indicated that the local tempestite can be grouped into clastic constituent types, which include bottom erosion structures, graded beds, swaley cross‐stratification (SCS), parallel lamination, bioturbation and the new composition Zoophycos ichnofabrics. Five storm sequences and three Zoophycos ichnofabrics (Zoophycos–Chondrites ichnofabric, Zoophycos–Chondrites–Thalassinoides ichnofabric and Zoophycos–Thalassinoides–Palaeophycus ichnofabric) were discerned. It is demonstrated that the Zoophycos‐producers from the complex types of Zoophycos in storm sequences were opportunistic organisms (r‐strategists). This study reveals storm‐generated physical and biogenic structures and textures and provides a good ichnological method to identify storm deposits. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Crinoids columnals (Echinodermata) of the Ererê Formation (late Eifelian–early Givetian,Amazon Basin), State of Pará, Brazil     

《Journal of South American Earth Sciences》2014

The faunal composition of stalked echinoderms in the Brazilian Devonian is still largely unknown despite the great abundance of crinoids in the shallow epicontinental seas of the Paleozoic. The first Devonian crinoids of Brazil, recorded in the literature in 1875 and 1903, were from the sedimentary rocks of the Ererê Formation in the Amazon Basin. Since then, the echinoderms of this formation have not been studied. This study, based on isolated pluricolumnals and columnals, described and identified Botryocrinus meloi n. sp., the first record for this genus in Brazil. In addition to this species, two other morphological patterns were identified: Tjeecrinus sp. and Morphotype AM/Er-01. The form of occurrence of the crinoid material and the paleoautoecology of B. meloi allow preliminary characterization of the habitat as a moderately deep water with weak to moderate currents and soft substrate. The similarity between B. meloi and Botryocrinus montguyonensis and of Tjeecrinus? sp. and T. crassijugatus, from the Devonian of the Armorican and Rhenan Massif, represents new evidence for the existence of contact between the faunas of the Amazon Basin with those of northern Gondwana and Armorica during the Middle Devonian.  相似文献

1:25万区域地质调查在东昆仑西段昆中断裂以北的北昆仑变质基底中发现了呈构造透镜分布的榴辉岩及其退变质的榴闪岩,沿小灶火-苏海图-夏日哈木-拉宁灶火断续延伸长达20km.榴辉岩经历了强烈的退变质作用,大部分已退变为榴闪岩,由峰期变质矿物组合石榴石+绿辉石+金红石+钛铁矿和后期退变矿物组合普通角闪石(绿色)+斜长石组成,石榴石边缘发育似针状普通角闪石及微粒状斜长石组成的后合成晶结构,形成宽0.15~1cm的"白眼圈"结构.石榴石成分为Alm_52-53And_4.2Spess_0.7-1.2Gros_21.7-22Pyrope_19-20,绿辉石中硬玉分子量30.14mol%~37.7mol%.估算榴辉岩相变质温压条件P≈20kbar、T≈660~700℃,榴闪岩相退变温压条件P≈7kbar、T≈550℃,岩石经历了明显的降温降压过程.榴辉岩中锆石阴极发光图像显示大部分具有扇形分带或"杉树叶"结构,17颗锆石Th/U极低,在0.007~0.09之间,其(LA-ICP-MS)U-Pb年龄411.1±1.9Ma代表了榴辉岩相峰期变质年龄,结合区域构造岩浆事件,确定本次高压变质的峰期时代为晚志留-早泥盆世,其形成可能与大规模的陆-陆碰撞事件有关,这一发现为研究东昆仑造山带的构造演化具有重要意义.  相似文献

宗普  马学平  张美琼  张宇波 《中国区域地质》2014,(5):684-690

首次在新疆准噶尔盆地西北缘和什托洛盖以北地区的晚泥盆世法门晚期地层中发现板海神石及大型弓海神石菊石动物。板海神石动物群由Platyclymenia （Pl.） subnautilina （Sandberger）、Sporadoceras sp.和Prionoceras frechi （Wedekind）等分子组成;可能与Annulata事件有关。弓海神石动物群中Protactoclymenia sp.和Cyrtoclymeniasp.以壳体硕大为显著特征,直径可达20cm。这些菊石可与西欧晚泥盆世标准菊石带第Ⅳ带的菊石组合进行对比（相当于牙形石Upper trachytera至Lower expansa带）,而且在区域上的分布具有一定的稳定性,尤其是弓海神石动物群,其产出层位可作为和什托洛盖以北地区地层对比的标志层。  相似文献

运用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年获得华北地块北缘内蒙古赤峰莲花山地区朝吐沟组2件流纹质熔结凝灰岩的形成时代,分别为366Ma±2Ma和364Ma±2Ma。测年结果表明,莲花山朝吐沟组火山岩形成于泥盆纪晚期,而不是早石炭世。同时,这一结果也将赤峰地区朝吐沟组的时代限定为泥盆纪晚期,而非早石炭世。莲花山泥盆纪晚期火山岩总体上以富硅、碱、铝,贫铁、镁、钙、钛及过铝质为特征,与本区晚石炭世—二叠纪钙碱性火山岩(如青凤山组或大石寨组火山岩)的特征明显不同。华北地块北缘泥盆纪晚期火山岩的形成可能与早古生代末期—晚古生代初期白乃庙岛弧和华北克拉通北缘弧—陆碰撞后的伸展环境有关。这一构造环境与华北地块北缘泥盆纪碱性岩及基性—超基性岩侵位背景相似。  相似文献

中国阿尔泰广泛发育的花岗质岩石已获得大量研究,但是其东南缘研究薄弱,制约了对整个阿尔泰造山带构造岩浆演化的认识。本文新获得阿尔泰东南缘四个花岗质岩体(昆格依特、库吉尔特、布铁乌及卡拉特玉别)锆石U-Pb年龄,分别为382±4Ma、381±4Ma、385±5Ma和363±6Ma。岩石学、地球化学特征等显示这些花岗质岩石具有高钾钙碱性、准铝质—弱过铝质的I型特点,全岩εNd(t)值为-2.42~-0.53,Nd模式年龄tDM为1.6~1.3Ga;锆石εHf(t)值为-3.44~+13.26,绝大多数为正值,锆石Hf二阶段模式年龄tDM-2为2.5~0.6Ga,表明源区物质组成复杂,有较多的新生幔源物质参与花岗质岩石的形成,并含有古老地壳成分。综合已有年龄分析显示,中国阿尔泰花岗质岩石的形成时代可分为480~440Ma(峰期460Ma)、420~390Ma(峰期400Ma)、390~370Ma(峰期380Ma)、370~360Ma(峰期365Ma)、360~350Ma。处于岩浆发育峰期的早泥盆世(420~390Ma)多为准铝-过铝质的钙碱性系列;中晚泥盆世(390~360Ma)多为准铝—弱过铝质的高钾钙碱性系列;370~360Ma为高钾钙碱性系列。该地区363Ma的高钾钙碱性花岗质岩石的确定,为进一步厘定整个阿尔泰泥盆纪花岗质岩浆由钙碱性(480~390Ma),到高钾钙碱性(390~360Ma),再到354Ma的布尔根碱性花岗岩的演变特点提供了新的证据,进一步揭示阿尔泰造山带该时期由俯冲增生演变到碰撞及后碰撞的演化过程。  相似文献   

桂中坳陷西北部中泥盆统页岩地球化学特征及沉积环境     

苑坤 《地质与勘探》2017,53(1):179-186

本文研究桂中坳陷西北部中泥盆统页岩氧化还原条件和古沉积环境。利用该区典型页岩气调查井(桂页1井)岩心,通过X射线荧光光谱分析(XRF)和电感耦合等离子体质谱分析(ICPMS),对中泥盆统岩心(320.35m~938.5m)以1.5m采样间隔进行了微量元素测试。结果显示,纳标组地层V/(V+Ni)、V/Cr和Ni/Co平均值分别大于0.67、4.65和7.71,且富集竹节石、菊石等生物组合,指示其沉积时期海平面相对上升,处于有利于有机质保存的深水陆棚环境;罗富组和塘丁组V/(V+Ni)、V/Cr和Ni/Co分别为0.38~0.65、0.73~4.10和3.70~6.72,指示沉积阶段海平面相对下降,水体变浅,沉积环境为弱氧化的浅水陆棚环境;同时,有机碳含量(TOC)的变化与Ba元素的富集程度相关性较高,表明缺氧环境有利于机质的富集和保存;此外,通过微量元素指标判别,认为桂中坳陷西北部中泥盆统沉积时期,自下而上经历了海平面的相对上升到相对下降的沉积旋回,纳标组时期相对海平面上升至最高,沉积了厚度稳定且有机质含量高的富有机质页岩,可作为本区有利的勘探目标层段。  相似文献   

桂中坳陷泥盆纪层序岩相古地理与孤立丘台礁滩发育特征     

张矿明  范志伟  罗彦萍  刘苗苗  吴浩 《沉积学报》2017,35(1)

桂中坳陷属于古生代南盘江盆地靠近江南古陆南缘的一个次级沉积坳陷,其后期构造稳定,成藏条件优越,为具有较好潜力的勘探新区.在总结前人研究的基础上,运用野外露头剖面观测、测录井、地震相分析等技术手段,研究了本区层序岩相古地理特征和沉积演化史,分析认为桂中坳陷经历加里东期隆升后,在海西早期(D-C)的拉张背景下,演变为“台—盆”相间的沉积格局,期间沉积多个孤立丘台.孤立丘台发育有生物礁滩,发育时间从中泥盆世早期一直延续至中泥盆世晚期,礁滩发育具有垂向上“三种五期”叠置加积的特征.  相似文献
