Turbidity currents in the ocean are driven by suspended sediment. Yet results from surveys of the modern sea floor and turbidite outcrops indicate that they are capable of transporting as bedload and depositing particles as coarse as cobble sizes. While bedload cannot drive turbidity currents, it can strongly influence the nature of the deposits they emplace. This paper reports on the first set of experiments which focus on bedload transport of granular material by density underflows. These underflows include saline density flows, hybrid saline/turbidity currents and a pure turbidity current. The use of dissolved salt is a surrogate for suspended mud which is so fine that it does not settle out readily. Thus, all the currents can be considered to be model turbidity currents. The data cover four bed conditions: plane bed, dunes, upstream‐migrating antidunes and downstream‐migrating antidunes. The bedload transport relation obtained from the data is very similar to those obtained for open‐channel flows and, in fact, is fitted well by an existing relation determined for open‐channel flows. In the case of dunes and downstream‐migrating antidunes, for which flow separation on the lee sides was observed, form drag falls in a range that is similar to that due to dunes in sand‐bed rivers. This form drag can be removed from the total bed shear stress using an existing relation developed for rivers. Once this form drag is subtracted, the bedload data for these cases collapse to follow the same relation as for plane beds and upstream‐migrating antidunes, for which no flow separation was observed. A relation for flow resistance developed for open‐channel flows agrees well with the data when adapted to density underflows. Comparison of the data with a regime diagram for field‐scale sand‐bed rivers at bankfull flow and field‐scale measurements of turbidity currents at Monterey Submarine Canyon, together with Shields number and densimetric Froude number similarity analyses, provide strong evidence that the experimental relations apply at field scale as well.  相似文献   

Late Ordovician climbing‐dune cross‐stratification: a signature of outburst floods in proglacial outwash environments?     

JEAN‐FRANÇOIS GHIENNE  FLAVIA GIRARD  JULIEN MOREAU  JEAN‐LOUP RUBINO 《Sedimentology》2010,57(5):1175-1198

Climbing dune‐scale cross‐statification is described from Late Ordovician paraglacial successions of the Murzuq Basin (SW Libya). This depositional facies is comprised of medium‐grained to coarse‐grained sandstones that typically involve 0·3 to 1 m high, 3 to 5 m in wavelength, asymmetrical laminations. Most often stoss‐depositional structures have been generated, with preservation of the topographies of formative bedforms. Climbing‐dune cross‐stratification related to the migration of lower‐flow regime dune trains is thus identified. Related architecture and facies sequences are described from two case studies: (i) erosion‐based sandstone sheets; and (ii) a deeply incised channel. The former characterized the distal outwash plain and the fluvial/subaqueous transition of related deltaic wedges, while the latter formed in an ice‐proximal segment of the outwash plain. In erosion‐based sand sheets, climbing‐dune cross‐stratification results from unconfined mouth‐bar deposition related to expanding, sediment‐laden flows entering a water body. Within incised channels, climbing‐dune cross‐stratification formed over eddy‐related side bars reflecting deposition under recirculating flow conditions generated at channel bends. Associated facies sequences record glacier outburst floods that occurred during early stages of deglaciation and were temporally and spatially linked with subglacial drainage events involving tunnel valleys. The primary control on the formation of climbing‐dune cross‐stratification is a combination between high‐magnitude flows and sediment supply limitations, which lead to the generation of sediment‐charged stream flows characterized by a significant, relatively coarse‐grained, sand‐sized suspension‐load concentration, with a virtual absence of very coarse to gravelly bedload. The high rate of coarse‐grained sand fallout in sediment‐laden flows following flow expansion throughout mouth bars or in eddy‐related side bars resulted in high rates of transfer of sands from suspension to the bed, net deposition on bedform stoss‐sides and generation of widespread climbing‐dune cross‐stratification. The later structure has no equivalent in the glacial record, either in the ancient or in the Quaternary literature, but analogues are recognized in some flood‐dominated depositional systems of foreland basins.  相似文献

拜仁达坝和维拉斯托是近年来在内蒙古东部地区发现的2个大型银多金属矿床,文章对其开展了硫和铅同位素研究。结果表明,拜仁达坝矿床矿石中硫化物的δ34S值为-4.0‰～+1.6‰,维拉斯托矿床矿石中硫化物的δ34S值为-0.8‰～+2.0‰,与岩浆热液型矿床的硫同位素值接近,表明这2个矿床中的硫主要来自岩浆。拜仁达坝矿区43件金属硫化物的206Pb/204Pb值为18.333～18.515,207Pb/204Pb值为15.532～15.656,208Pb/204Pb值为38.057～38.610;维拉斯托矿区20件金属硫化物的206Pb/204Pb值为18.304～18.377,207Pb/204Pb值为15.520～15.610,208Pb/204Pb值为38.112～38.435。拜仁达坝东矿区矿石中的铅同位素组成与维拉斯托矿区相似,变化范围小,相对贫放射性铅同位素,并且均为混合铅。矿石中的铅可能来自围岩地层及深源岩浆。  相似文献

野外地质调查结合锆石U-Pb年龄测定和岩石化学成分分析,发现西藏冈底斯碰撞造山带晚中新世发育两套埃达克岩.一套呈NS向岩墙产出,锫石U-Pb-LAICP-MS年龄为15.6～16.8 Ma,地球化学上以富Na2O、贫K2O、Sr/Y比值高为特点,不含矿;另一套呈岩株产出,锆石 U-Pb SHRIMP 年龄为14.0～15.3 Ma,地球化学上以富K2O、贫NaO、Sr/Y比值低为特点,伴随着大规模的斑岩型铜钼矿化.两套埃达克岩都高度富集大离子不相容元素(LILE)Rb、Ba、Th、U、K、Sr、Pb,强烈亏损高场强元素(HFSE)Nb、Ta、Ti,反映出俯冲组分对岩浆源区的明显影响,具备岛弧岩浆作用的基本特征.比较而言,含矿埃达克岩更富集Rb、Th、U、K、Pb,而不含矿埃达克岩更富集Sr;不含矿埃达克岩的高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti亏损更加强烈,Zr、Hf相对富集.两套埃达克岩都是形成于碰撞后地壳伸展的同一地球动力学背景下,其岩石地球化学差异主要与岩浆源区有关.研究表明,含矿埃达克岩的岩浆源区较浅,位于下地壳底部,参与岩浆作用的俯冲组分以沉积物熔体为主,岩浆的氧化性较强,并且经历了更多的分异过程.不含矿埃达克岩的岩浆源区较深,位于岩石圈地幔上部,参与源区岩浆作用的俯冲组分主要是板片流体,岩浆氧化性较低,岩浆分异过程较少.两套埃达克岩含矿与不含矿的原因包含了源区物质组成和岩浆生成条件两方面的差异.  相似文献

在鄂尔多斯盆地的陕北志丹地区勘探发现了长10油藏,原油密度为0．8152g／cm^3,全烃色谱图的主峰为nC13～nC15油质较轻。轻烃组分中环烷烃较为丰富,芳烃含量低,呈姥植均势（Pr／Ph为1．21～1.45）,原油的δ^13CP08值为-31．78％。,甾萜烷分布与主要参数特征为：重排藿烷类相对丰度很高、伽马蜡烷低,Ts／Tm比值很高（5.54～7．26）C30^＊／C50藿烷比值高（0．67～0．72）,C29Ts／C30藿烷比值高（0．38～0．52）,甾烷中重排甾烷较高、αβ和βα构型甾烷丰富。ααα-20R构型甾烷呈不对称“V”型分布,反映了较为典型的湖相油型油特征。油-油、油-源对比显不,该区长10原油来自长7优质烃源岩。石油可能是在湖盆中部长7优质烃源岩发育的地区通过垂向倒灌进入长10油层组、经侧向运聚成藏的。据此,预测盆地长9和长10油层组具备良好的成藏与勘探潜力。  相似文献

位于兴蒙造山带张广才岭块体的榆木川辉绿玢岩,K—AT年龄测定表明其形成年龄为262～264Ma,主微量元素研究表明,辉绿玢岩SiO2含量为47.02％～52.60％,贫K2O（0.13％～0.47％）,Na2O〉K2O,属于低钾拉斑系列,稀土分布模式属于轻稀土略亏损的平坦型,微量元素原始地幔标准化图解中大离子亲石元素（Rh、Ba、Sr）较为富集,但不存在高场强元素（Nb、Ta）的亏损,同位素组成显示Sr同位素初始比值在0.704958～0.705631之间,εNd（t）值（72～81）较高且变化较小,表明其来源于亏损地幔的部分熔融且成岩过程中未受到地壳物质的混染。基性岩形成于造山后的伸展拉张背景,并结合前人的研究成果,认为晚古生代（约270Ma）兴蒙造山带已经进入晚期,此时加厚的岩石圈由于重力不稳定发生拆沉减薄作用,导致软流圈的大量上涌和岩石圈拉张,从而引起先存亏损岩石圈地幔的部分熔融,最后侵入地壳深部形成研究区辉绿玢岩。  相似文献   

应用岩石热解数据S2-TOC相关图进行烃源岩评价   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

应用岩石热解数据评价烃源岩的传统方法具有一定的局限性。由于矿物基质的吸附或“死碳”的影响,有机质类型的“范氏图解”往往夸大烃源岩有机质类型的非均质性。对松辽盆地上白垩统不同有机质丰度和有机质类型的烃源岩生烃动力学研究表明,它们具有相似的生烃动力学特征,说明尽管有机质丰度存在较强的非均质性,但其有效源岩类型（区别于应用范氏图划分的有机质类型）是一致的。这些烃源岩的岩石裂解烃（S2）与有机质丰度（TOC）的相关系数很高,与生烃动力学的分析结果一致,表明应用S2-TOC相关图划分烃源岩的有机质类型可以更真实地反映烃源岩的有效源岩类型,S2-TOC相关图是评价烃源岩有效源岩类型的有效手段。过去岩石热解数据用于反映烃源岩成熟度的主要指标是tmax,tmax对于偏Ⅱ／Ⅲ型的烃源岩比较适用,而对于Ⅰ型烃源岩,由于生油窗内变化不明显,tmax不能完全反映有机质的成熟过程;而且tmax也受运移油等其他因素影响。不同成熟度的烃源岩的S2-TOC图分析结果显示,随着成熟度的增加,S2-TOC的回归斜率和TOC逐渐减小;利用不同成熟度的烃源岩建立的S2-TOC图可用于评价烃源岩的成熟度。松辽盆地不同沉积相中烃源岩的S2-TOC相关图的特征表明。只要有有利的有机质保存条件,各沉积相下均可发育优质的烃源岩;S2-TOC相关图可以反映烃源岩形成的沉积环境和有机质保存条件。  相似文献

山西平顺地区矽卡岩型铁矿主要产于燕山期中性侵入岩与中奥陶统碳酸岩地层接触带及其附近。矿化蚀变带明显,钠长石化是重要的找矿标志。北落峡ZK28-7钻孔岩芯样地球化学特征、黄铁矿(206Pb/204Pb=17.741～18.301,平均值17.993;207Pb/204Pb=15.433～15.551,平均值15.495)以及早期(206Pb/204Pb=17.859～18.474;207Pb/204Pb=15.429～15.431)和晚期侵入岩(206Pb/204Pb=17.959～18.223,平均值18.088;207Pb/204Pb=15.434～15.566,平均值15.536)的Pb同位素组成共同表明,除晚期中性侵入岩是磁铁矿的成矿母岩之外,还包括早期超基性-基性侵入岩,它也是磁铁矿形成的重要成矿母岩之一,其很可能是通过被晚期闪长岩同化交代,大量铁矿质进入了晚期闪长岩,经后期钠化蚀变,铁质析出,形成磁铁矿,间接的提供物质来源。  相似文献

吐哈盆地台北凹陷侏罗系煤系源岩地球化学分类及意义

烃源岩的沉积环境、母源输入与有机质性质有着密切联系,吐哈盆地台北凹陷不同层系、不同地区侏罗系煤系烃源岩由于其沉积环境、母源输入的不同,导致其地球化学指标差异;通过对源岩地球化学指标相关性分析表明,姥植比（Pr/Ph）是反映源岩沉积氧化还原环境和水体盐度的重要指标;C29ααα20R在C27～C29规则甾烷ααα20R中的相对含量也是反映沉积水体盐度的重要指标。同时发现源岩类型划分的主控指标是族组成中芳烃、沥青质组分含量及饱芳比、非沥比等四项指标,姥植比、伽马蜡烷指数为源岩类型划分的次控指标,据此将台北凹陷侏罗系煤系烃源岩划分为三类。  相似文献
