Reef-capping laminites in the Upper Silurian carbonate- to-evaporite transition, Michigan Basin, south-western Ontario

Silurian pinnacle reefs in the subsurface of the south‐western Ontario portion of the Michigan Basin display a variety of laminated carbonates (laminites) within predominantly muddy reef‐capping facies in the upper part of the Guelph Formation and the overlying A‐1 Carbonate of the Salina Group. Laminites, which are limestone, dolomite or partially dolomitized limestones, have a range of morphologies, from simple planar to a variety of wavy and serrated forms. Individual laminae are composed mainly of micrite, microspar or replacive dolomite, and vary internally from isopachous and continuous over the diameter of the core to non‐isopachous and often discontinuous. Clotted and peloidal micrite, sometimes defining small knobs and chambers, is interpreted as being microbial in origin and occurs within all types of laminites. Fibrous cement locally comprises laminite clasts in breccias or coats clasts in breccias, and also occurs as spherulites in the interparticle spaces in breccias. Although similar laminites have been described from elsewhere in the Michigan Basin and interpreted as caliche, travertine and abiotic subtidal stromatolites, the laminites in south‐western Ontario are most realistically regarded as microbial. The causes for the variations in morphology and characteristics of the constituent laminae are uncertain, although fluctuations in local microenvironmental conditions would have been important, set against a backdrop of an increasingly restricted overall setting. Caliche or travertine origins for these laminites are unlikely in general, except perhaps locally at the subaerial exposure surface at the tops of pinnacle reefs.  相似文献   

赣南—粤北版石群及其地质时代   总被引：11，自引：1，他引：10

赣南—粤北中生代晚期存在上、中、下3个不同时代的火山岩系,其中上火山岩系称为版石群。根据岩性岩相特征,版石群可进一步划分为两个岩组:下岩组称为合水组,以砾岩、砂岩、页岩等沉积岩为主、夹火山岩,代表火山活动初始期的产物;上岩组称为优胜组,岩性为流纹岩、流纹质凝灰岩、熔结凝灰岩,代表火山活动喷发期的产物。长塘盆地优胜组熔结凝灰岩全岩RbSr等时线年龄为89.5Ma;仁差盆地优胜组流纹岩全岩RbSr等时线年龄为91.9～94Ma,熔结凝灰岩锆石UPb法年龄为86.5Ma,次流纹斑岩锆石UPb法年龄为93.5Ma;菖蒲盆地优胜组流纹岩全岩RbSr等时线年龄为104Ma;版石盆地优胜组流纹岩全岩RbSr等时线年龄为72.2Ma,全岩KAr法年龄为77.6Ma,可见版石群优胜组的地质时代为早白垩世晚期—晚白垩世早期。另外,合水组的生物化石反映出早白垩世的特征,因此,将版石群置于早白垩世—晚白垩世早期是可信的。  相似文献

赣南—粤北中生代晚期存在上、中、下３个不同时代的火山岩系,其中下火山岩系称为余田群,可进一步划分为水头迳组和菖蒲组。水头迳组以沉积岩为主、夹火山碎屑岩,代表火山活动初始期的产物;菖蒲组为玄武岩、流纹岩和流纹质凝灰岩,有时夹砂岩,代表火山活动喷发期的产物。同位素年龄数据显示,余田群菖蒲组的地质时代为中侏罗世—晚侏罗世早期,水头迳组是否包含早侏罗世沉积有待进一步研究证实  相似文献

Quartz Cement in Middle Jurassic Reservoir Sandstones in North Sea. A Review. Part Ⅰ: Occurrence and Character     

ZHANG Shao-nan 《沉积学报》1999,17(2):263-268

Quartz cementation is a very important diagenetic event and main porosity-occluding factor in the reservoir sandstones in middle Jurassic i n North Sea. Petrological studies indicate the quartz cementation is limited in shallower burial depth and increases significantly at depth around 3.5 - 4 km. T he amount of quartz cement increases with burial depth from an average of approx imately 4%-5 vol% at 2.5 km to 17%-20 vol% at 4 km. Highest abundances of quartz cement exceeds 28% which has been found in the Ness Formation. Variations in qu artz cementation between different sandstone facies is minimal for any one forma tion, with exception of the generally lower quantities present in the heterolith ic sandstone. Homogenisation temperatures of fluid inclusion in quartz overgrowt h from the North Sea reservoirs indicate that few quartz cement occur below the temperature 70 ℃～80 ℃, the onset of large volume quartz cement starts at the temperatures higher than 90 ℃ which suggests the quartz cementation is temperat ure - dependent during progressing diagenesis of sandstones.  相似文献

胶北蓬莱群的变形与变质及其区域大地构造意义   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6

本文通过构造与变质研究及伊利石结晶度和同位素年龄测定。分析胶北蓬莱群的变形,变质及其区域大地构造意义。作为胶北唯一盖层的蓬莱群,在晚石炭世(299±4Ma)北北东—南南西区域挤压下首次遭受了强烈的蓬莱事件变形及低绿片岩相变质。其后的后蓬莱事件在胶北地区仅造成了局部的北北东—南南西向变形构造。作为华北板块南缘的胶北带,其上的蓬莱事件是华北与扬子板块沿胶南带碰撞的结果。这表明郯庐断裂带以东这两扳块碰撞发生在晚石炭世。在秦岭—大别山碰撞带以北的华北扳块南缘,由于碰撞也出现了类似胶北带的挤压变形。  相似文献
