The discovery of a previously unrecognized unconformity and of new faunas in the type Llandovery area underpins a revised correlation of Hirnantian strata in mid Wales. This has revealed the sedimentary and faunal events which affected the Lower Palaeozoic Welsh Basin during the global rise in sea level that followed the end‐Ordovician glacial maximum and has allowed their interpretation in the context of local and global influences. In peri‐basinal shelfal settings the onset of post‐glacial deepening is recorded by an unfossiliferous, transgressive shoreface sequence (Cwm Clyd Sandstone and Garth House formations) which rests unconformably on Rawtheyan rocks, deformed during an episode of pre‐Hirnantian tectonism. In the deep water facies of the basin centre, this same sequence boundary is now recognized as the contact between fine‐grained, re‐sedimented mudstones and an underlying regressive sequence of turbidite sandstones and conglomerates; it is at a level lower than previously cited and calls into question the established lithostratigraphy. In younger Hirnantian strata, graptolites associated with the newly recognized Ystradwalter Member (Chwefri Formation) demonstrate that this distal shelf unit correlates with the persculptus graptolite‐bearing Mottled Mudstone Member of the basinal succession. Together these members record an important macrofaunal recolonization of the Welsh Basin and mark a key event in the post‐glacial transgression. Further deepening saw the establishment of a stratified water column and the imposition of anoxic bottom water conditions across the basin floor. These post‐glacial Hirnantian events are consistent with the re‐establishment of connections between a silled Welsh Basin and the open Iapetus Ocean. However, a comparison with other areas suggests that each event records a separate deepening episode within a pulsed glacio‐eustatic transgression, while also reflecting changes in post‐glacial climate and patterns of oceanic circulation and associated biotic flux.

The type locality for several core elements of the Hirnantia brachiopod fauna is a small disused quarry on the western slopes of Cwm Hirnant. There, the Hirnant Limestone Member of the Foel‐y‐Ddinas Mudstone Formation yields a new, well‐preserved chitinozoan assemblage, attributed to the Spinachitina taugourdeaui Biozone. This allows tight correlation with the Hirnantian of Baltica and Laurentia and neatly ties the chitinozoan zonation with the classical brachiopod fauna. Nearby, the chitinozoan assemblage from the Caradoc Cymerig Limestone Member at Gelli‐grîn belongs to the Spinachitina cervicornis Biozone?, and is identical to that recovered from the Burrellian in the Onny Valley, Welsh Borderland. A Silurian assemblage higher up section, discovered in the Cwm‐yr‐Aethnen Formation, is attributed to the globally recognized Eisenackitina dolioliformis Biozone. Attempts to integrate the chitinozoan and graptolite biozonation, in the central Welsh Rhayader area, were less successful. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

扬子地块北缘与秦岭接壤,早古生代经历了上扬子克拉通盆地(∈-O2)和隆后盆地(O3-S)两个阶段。区内发育上奥陶统观音桥组或南郑组地层,为研究赫南特期的岩相古地理,探讨赫南特期冰川事件的沉积响应奠定了坚实的基础。根据沉积特征,结合古生物组合,扬子地块北缘观音桥组可划分为滨岸相和陆棚相。按照岩性等,陆棚相可进一步划分为陆缘碎屑陆棚相、混积陆棚相。滨岸相主要由石英砂岩、钙质砂岩和含砾砂岩组成,发育少量生物,以腕足为主;而在陆棚相中,则是以含粉砂泥岩、生屑灰岩、泥灰岩夹钙质泥岩和含钙泥岩为主,富含生物,以三叶虫(Dalmanitina)、腕足以及标志性冷水、浅水Hirnantia动物群为主。在沉积相详细研究的基础上,分析了该时期的岩相古地理面貌及其空间分布。在北部和西部,继续早期的格局,持续存在汉南隆起,围绕隆起分布的是滨岸相;往南至大两会-桥亭一线,为陆缘碎屑浅海陆棚,大两会-桥亭一线往南区域分布为混积陆棚。由于在研究区,无论在滨岸地带还是浅海地区,均发育赫南特贝化石,说明在赫南特期,由于受南冈瓦纳冰川事件的影响,冰水侵进扬子北缘全区。这次冰川事件导致海平面下降,致使扬子北缘水体变浅,早期的深水陆棚变为浅水陆棚,生物也由浮游相笔石迅速变为壳相赫南特贝,早期隆起范围进一步扩大,并出现地层的缺失。 相似文献

晚奥陶世赫南特期是地史上的一个重要转折时期,在这一短暂的时期内发生了生物大灭绝、全球性冰川和全球性海平面剧降等事件。在南半球冈瓦纳大陆上以北非为中心的大陆冰盖急剧扩增,在国外许多地区和块体上常有冰碛岩和海退序列报道,但中国对该时期地层的沉积学研究还不多。浙西北地区晚奥陶世的文昌组和堰口组为一套海退型沉积,上段发育有华南该时期一套独特的砾岩和含砾砂岩沉积,根据该沉积及上下地层所含的笔石动物群分析,该套砾岩层的层位相当于赫南特阶Normalograptus extraordinarius笔石带,在形成时间上与奥陶纪末的全球冰川事件一致。当前研究表明,这套砾岩代表水下河道沉积,其砾石主要来自东南侧的华夏古陆。文昌组和堰口组砂岩成分统计分析显示,文昌组和堰口组的物源区具有再循环造山带性质,且砂岩的成分成熟度和结构成熟度均较低,与华夏古陆构造隆升紧密相关。文昌组和堰口组的沉积序列可与北非、中东、英国、瑞典、捷克等地的同期序列进行对比,是赫南特期全球性冰川事件在华南的响应证据。 相似文献

The Hirnantian and Llandovery sedimentary succession of the Barrandian area has been assigned to middle and outer clastic‐shelf depositional settings, respectively. Deposition was influenced by the remote Gondwanan glaciation and subsequent, long‐persisting, post‐glacial anoxia triggered by a current‐driven upwelling system. High‐resolution graptolite stratigraphy, based upon 19 formally defined biozones—largely interval zones—and five subzones, enabled a detailed correlation between 42 surface sections and boreholes, and enabled linking of the sedimentary record, graptoloid fauna dynamics, organic‐content fluctuations and spectral gamma‐ray curves. The Hirnantian and Llandovery succession has been subdivided into four biostratigraphically dated third‐order sequences (units 1–4). Time–spatial facies distribution recorded early and late Hirnantian glacio‐eustatic sea‐level lowstands separated by a remarkable mid‐Hirnantian rise in sea‐level. A major part of the post‐glacial sea‐level rise took place within the late Hirnantian. The highstand of Unit 2 is apparently at the base of the Silurian succession. Short‐term relative sea‐level drawdown and a third‐order sequence boundary followed in the early Rhuddanian upper acuminatus Zone. Early Aeronian and late Telychian sea‐level highstands and late Aeronian drawdown of likely eustatic origin belong to units 3 and 4. Sea‐level rise culminated in the late Telychian, which may also be considered as a highstand episode of a second‐order Hirnantian–early Silurian cycle. Facies and sequence‐stratigraphic analysis supports recent interpretations on nappe structures in the core part of the Ordovician–Middle Devonian Prague Synform of the Barrandian.

晚奥陶世赫南特期经历了由冈瓦纳冰川事件引起的全球海平面下降和温度降低,以及由此引发的生物集群绝灭事件,同时又是构造-沉积的转换期。因此,该时期成为奥陶—志留纪之交重大的地质事件转折期。本文通过野外露头对上扬子海南缘五峰组观音桥段岩性组合、古生物以及沉积构造的研究发现,晚奥陶世赫南特期上扬子海南缘经历了滨岸潮坪相、浅滩和浅水陆棚相三种沉积相类型的改造。滨岸潮坪相主要为混积潮坪,呈环状分布于滇黔桂古陆周缘及黔中水下隆起。浅滩相可识别出生屑滩和砂屑滩两个微环境,主要分布于近潮坪相带的重庆秀山、贵州松桃以及贵州凤冈等地区。浅水陆棚可分为浅水陆棚下部和浅水陆棚上部两个区域,与潮坪相带相接触并向北过渡,其中浅水陆棚区上部又可划分为浅水混积陆棚和浅水碎屑陆棚两种类型。另外,通过岩性与生物碎屑的组合和分布特征,表明赫南特期至少经历了一次完整的海平面升降变化,并为研究全球海平面的变化提供了新的材料。 相似文献

SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating from K-bentonite in the top of Ordovician of Wangjiawan Section,Yichang, Hubei,China 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
The Global boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the base of the Hirnantian Stage (the latest stage of the Ordovician System) is defined at a point 0.39m below the base of the Kuanyinchiao Bed in the Wangjiawan North Section, which is the upper most "golden spike" of the Ordovician. However, this "golden spike" is lack of reliable geochronology data. This article gives a sensitive high resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMPII) zircon U-Pb dating for a K-bentonite sample from the Kuany-inchiao Bed in the Wangjiawan North Section. The age of the K-bentonite sample is 443.2±1.6 Ma, that is to say, the isotopic age of the uppermost of Hirnantian Stage, the point of Ordovician-Silurian boundary, should be near to, but slightly younger than 443.2±1.6 Ma. This age is identical to the Ordovi-cian-Silurian boundary age 443.7±1.5 Ma as declared by International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS). So, this research provides some good geochronlogical data for the Hirnantian Stage and the Ordovician-Silurian boundary as well as the global correlation. 相似文献

To elucidate the signature of isostatic and eustatic signals during a deglaciation period in pre‐Pleistocene times is made difficult because very little dating can be done, and also because glacial erosion surfaces, subaerial unconformities and subsequent regressive or transgressive marine ravinement surfaces tend to amalgamate or erode the deglacial deposits. How and in what way can the rebound be interpreted from the stratigraphic record? This study proposes to examine deglacial deposits from Late‐Ordovician to Silurian outcrops at the Algeria–Libya border, in order to define the glacio–isostatic rebound and relative sea‐level changes during a deglaciation period. The studied succession developed at the edge and over a positive palaeo‐relief inherited from a prograding proglacial delta that forms a depocentre of glaciogenic deposits. The succession is divided into five subzones, which depend on the topography of this depocentre. Six facies associations were determined: restricted marine (Facies Association 1); tidal channels (Facies Association 2); tidal sand dunes (Facies Association 3); foreshore to upper shoreface (Facies Association 4); lower shoreface (Facies Association 5); and offshore shales (Facies Association 6). Stratigraphic correlations over the subzones support the understanding of the depositional chronology and associated sea‐level changes. Deepest marine domains record a forced regression of 40 m of sea‐level fall resulting from an uplift caused by a glacio‐isostatic rebound that outpaces the early transgression. The rebound is interpreted to result in a multi‐type surface, which is interpreted as a regressive surface of marine erosion in initially marine domains and as a subaerial unconformity surface in an initially subaerial domain. The transgressive deposits have developed above this surface, during the progressive flooding of the palaeo‐relief. Sedimentology and high‐resolution sequence stratigraphy allowed the delineation of a deglacial sequence and associated sea‐level changes curve for the studied succession. Estimates suggest a relatively short (<10 kyr) duration for the glacio‐isostatic uplift and a subsequent longer duration transgression (4 to 5 Myr). 相似文献

The Sarah Formation is a glaciogenic sedimentary unit deposited along the Gondwana margin during the latest Ordovician ice age and represents a major hydrocarbon reservoir in northern Saudi Arabia. Large‐scale glacial palaeo‐valleys cut into the Qasim Formation and were infilled by the Sarah Formation. Post‐glacial transgression in the earliest Silurian resulted in the deposition of the Qusaiba Shale Member and associated organic‐rich basal source rocks, which cap the Sarah Formation infilled palaeo‐valleys. This unique setting makes the Sarah Formation an important emerging exploration target in Saudi Arabia. This study focuses on the facies and depositional architecture in seismic‐scale outcrops of the Sarah Formation in north‐western Saudi Arabia. The Rahal Dhab palaeo‐valley provides a 100 km long dip‐oriented cross‐section which has been covered by 24 vertical sections, sedimentary architectural analyses at metre to kilometre scale and by three cored shallow boreholes. In the Rahal Dhab palaeo‐valley, the Sarah Formation was deposited in a proglacial setting that ranged from marginal marine to offshore prodelta and is made up of three units: (i) the Sarah Sandstone; (ii) the Sarah Shale; and (iii) the Uqlah Member. This study shows the relationships between these three units and architectural controls on reservoir quality in this system. This paper contributes to the regional understanding of the Sarah Formation, and the new depositional model of the Rahal Dhab palaeo‐valley provides an outcrop‐reservoir analogue for hydrocarbon exploration in adjacent areas. 相似文献
