Potassium‐argon ages on the Cainozoic volcanic rocks of New South Wales     

Peter Wellman  Ian McDougall 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(3):247-272

During the Cainozoic there was widespread volcanism, mainly basaltic, in eastern New South Wales. Numerous new K‐Ar ages, together with previously published results, provide information on the age of virtually all the main volcanic provinces, and indicate that the volcanism started about 70 m.y. ago in the Late Cretaceous, and was continuous from about 60 m.y. ago (Palaeocene) until about 10 m.y. ago (middle Miocene). There has been no volcanic activity since 10 m.y. ago.

The ages of uplift of the Eastern Highlands are estimated from the relationship of the dated basaltic flows to the topography. A major uplift is deduced some time between the mid‐Cretaceous and late Oligocene, followed by a quiescent period. A further uplift started some time after the middle Miocene, and it continues to the present day. The highland was uplifted differentially both along and transverse to the axis.  相似文献

西天山伊犁科古琴山地区出露较完整新元古代南华纪地层,自下而上为库鲁铁列克提组、吐拉苏组和别西巴斯套组,可划为两个冰期和一个间冰期沉积.下冰碛地层库鲁铁列克提组为一套冰碛砾岩、含砾凝灰岩组合.上冰碛地层别西巴斯套组岩性主要为冰碛砾岩、含砾凝灰质岩屑砂岩.两冰碛地层间间冰期沉积吐拉苏组主要为一套粉砂岩、细砂岩和凝灰岩沉积.通过岩相学分析,认为研究区南华系整体处于浅海陆棚环境,伴有冰川作用和火山活动.可划出冰川沉积相、海相和火山喷发相3种沉积相,其中冰川沉积相又可细划为基底冰碛岩亚相、冰前滨海亚相和冰筏海洋亚相.海相主要划为浅海碎屑沉积亚相和浅海碳酸盐岩亚相.  相似文献   

SHRIMP U-Pb Age and Its Stratigraphic Significance of Tuff at the Baojishan Area,Jingyuan County,Gansu Province

Using zircon SHRIMP U-Pb dating method in this paper, we conduct the SHRIMP U Pb ages of tuff at the bottom of the Nanying’er Group, Wangjiashan area, Jingyuan County, Gansu Province and acquire a set of weighted average age of (244.9±2.8)Ma. Combined with the feature of Cathodoluminescence images and Th/U specific value of zircon, we believe that the sedimentary age of Wangjiashan tuff is (244.9±2.8)Ma. High precision and high confidence isotopic age data fully demonstrate that the bottom of Nanying’er Group exists with the early of middle Triassic strata. The author proposes that the Wangjiashan tuff and its hereinafter strata should be incorporated in Dingjiayao Formation. Meanwhile, it can be confirmed that the Wangjiashan Tuff and the Baojishan tuff are the deposition product of the same volcanic eruption. It can be used as a marker bed of the regional stratigraphic division and correlation. The above research results are beneficial for the upper and middle Triassic stratigraphic division and correlation of Hexi corridor region, and its stratigraphic significance for the final establishment of Triassic chronostratigraphic division and correlation framework of China’s northern continental strata.  相似文献   

华北克拉通南缘中-新元古代沉积地层对比研究及其地质意义   总被引：8，自引：4，他引：4

华北克拉通南缘新太古代-古元古代变质结晶基底之上不整合覆盖着巨厚的中-新元古代陆源碎屑岩-碳酸盐岩沉积盖层,根据沉积建造特征,将其划分为三个不同的地层分布小区,分别为嵩箕地层小区、渑池-确山地层小区和熊耳山地层小区.嵩箕小区位于熊耳裂谷盆地东北缘,以硅质碎屑岩(砂岩)为主,渑池-确山地层小区位于熊耳裂谷盆地北缘,以硅质碎屑岩-碳酸盐岩(白云岩)过渡相为主,熊耳山地层小区位于熊耳裂谷盆地南缘,以碳酸盐岩为主.本文通过对三个地层小区的沉积地层剖面和岩石学特征进行研究,认为华北南缘从中元古代开始处于河流相-浅海相的沉积环境,从南向北,海水由深变浅.根据地层的岩性、沉积构造及其组合特征,将其划分为低水位、海侵和高水位沉积体系,最大海侵时期为青白口系早期.通过对熊耳山地区的官道口群的岩相学和地球化学分析,并结合其已有的碎屑锆石年龄和另外两个地层小区的五佛山群和汝阳群的碎屑锆石年龄以及它们的地球化学特征,表明三个地层区的沉积地层在中元古代均处于被动大陆边缘环境,而新元古代则可能处于与大陆岛弧相关的沉积盆地,这一结果表明从中元古代到新元古代华北南缘可能受到秦岭造山带早期微陆块俯冲碰撞的影响,由被动大陆边缘向活动大陆边缘过渡的过程.三套地层最年轻的碎屑锆石207 Pb/206Pb年龄基本上在1600Ma左右,从而限定了其最大沉积时代不早于1600Ma.其锆石年龄大多数都分布于古元古代(1700 ～ 2400Ma),太古代的年龄极少,说明其物源区以古元古代的地质体为主,且碎屑锆石年龄峰值为～ 1.93Ga,反映了华北南缘在～1.93Ga发生过重要的构造-热事件,与华北克拉通古元古代中期发生的变质作用时间(～ 1.91Ga)一致.三套沉积地层的碎屑锆石εHf(t)值变化较大(-20～ +6),表明既有新生地壳物质的加入,也有古老地壳物质的再循环.Hf两阶段模式年龄分布于2.3～3.8Ga之间,明显大于其207pb/206pb年龄,大部分锆石的Hf同位素组成集中于2.6Ga和3.0Ga地壳演化线区域内,峰值为2.75Ga,表明2.75Ga左右是华北克拉通南缘重要的陆壳生长期.  相似文献   

Historical desertification of the Mu Us Desert, Northern China: A multidisciplinary study   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4

The problem of historical desertification of the Mu Us desert, northern China has been paid considerable attention during the past several decades. Through the analysis of stratigraphic evidence, historical records and archaeological discoveries, this paper studied the problem using a multidisciplinary approach. The results show that two phases of serious desertification occurred during the last two millennia, one is during the mid-to-late Tang dynasty (about A.D. 800) and the other during the late Ming dynasty (about A.D. 1500–1600). Further investigation of the cause of each phase of desertification demonstrates that the former phase of desertification is closely related to abrupt climate change occurring in the mid-eighth century, but the latter, which started during the Ming dynasty and stopped at late 1980s, is not consistent with climatic causation. Therefore, we suggest that human activities contributed to the development of the latter phase of desertification.  相似文献

“国际地层表”依据菊石带建立起来的侏罗纪年代地层系统在全球海相侏罗系的划分和对比中有着广泛的应用,但却很难直接应用于非海相侏罗纪地层系统中。中国的侏罗系多属非海相,近年来我国地质工作者们不但将中国的海相侏罗系与全球侏罗纪年代地层系统进行了较合理的对比,发现了穿越海相三叠系-侏罗系界线的连续沉积的剖面,而且建立了非海相侏罗系的阶。但是中国非海相侏罗系区域性阶的时代和不同阶之间的界线有待海相化石和地层测年来确定或检验  相似文献   

A three-dimensional high-resolution reservoir model of the Eocene Shahejie Formation in Bohai Bay Basin,integrating stratigraphic forward modeling and geostatistics     

《Marine and Petroleum Geology》2017

Reservoir characterization based on geostatistics method requires well constraints (e.g. seismic data with high quality) to predict inter-well reservoir quality that is conformed to geological laws. Nevertheless, the resolution of seismic data in multiple basins or reservoirs is not high enough to recognize the distribution of different types of sand bodies. In this paper, we propose a new method to improve the precision of reservoir characterization: reservoir modeling with the constrains of sedimentary process model and sedimentary microfacies. We employed stratigraphic forward modeling, a process-based method, to constrain the reservoir modeling in one oil-bearing interval of the third member of Eocene Shahejie Formation in J-Oilfield of Liaoxi Sag, Bohai Bay Basin.We divide reservoir modeling into two orders using different types of constrains. In the first order, we use the simulated shale model from stratigraphic forward model that is corrected by wells data as a 3D trend volume to constrain the reservoir sand-shale modeling. In the second order, different types of sedimentary microfacies in the sandy part of the model are further recognized and simulated within the constrains of sedimentary microfacies maps. Consequently, the porosity, permeability and oil saturation are modeled under the control of precise sedimentary microfacies model. The high-resolution reservoir model shows that the porosity, permeability and oil saturation of distributary channel is generally above 20%, 10md and 50%, respectively, which are much higher than that of other types of sedimentary microfacies. It can be concluded that comparing to other types of sedimentary facies, distributary channel has better physical properties and more oil accumulation in the fan-delta front and therefore is the most favorable zones for petroleum development in the research area.  相似文献   

Algorithm for generation of stratigraphic profiles using cone penetration test data     

《Computers and Geotechnics》2017

Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data are often used directly in the design of shallow and deep foundations and many other applications. To produce more cost-effective designs, it is advantageous to use CPT data to establish stratigraphic profiles as well. Algorithms to generate a stratigraphic profile using data from an individual CPT sounding and a Soil Behavior Type (SBT) chart as inputs are presented. Two SBT charts from the literature were selected and modified to eliminate ambiguity in soil classification. Novel algorithms were developed for handling the occurrence of thin layers within a stratigraphic profile to account for the fact that the standard CPT cone cannot accurately sense layers with thickness below a certain limit and a representative cone resistance cannot be obtained if the layer is too thin. Likewise, the algorithms prevent the creation of a soil profile with adjacent layers of essentially the same soil by consolidating layers appropriately. The algorithms presented generate a design soil profile, produced using a precise classification based on soil type and state and by elimination of artificial layering, that can be more effectively used in design.  相似文献

塔里木周缘的新元古代地层中均记录了涉及Rodinia聚合和裂解的构造热事件,但塔里木在Rodinia超大陆中位置尚存争议.本文综合地层对比以及古地磁的研究方法,将塔里木陆块在Rodinia超大陆中置于澳洲板块的西北缘,并且塔里木的西南缘(现今位置)和澳洲的西北缘(现今位置)相连.基于塔里木周缘的构造热事件和塔里木、澳洲运动学特征分析,认为塔里木陆块周缘在约800~700 Ma中发生了强烈的裂谷事件,导致塔里木从Rodinia超大陆中裂解,但塔里木并没有完全从澳洲裂离,而是随澳洲一起,加入冈瓦纳大陆.在约450 Ma左右,塔里木与澳洲发生分离,其原因为古特提斯洋的扩张.  相似文献
