The age,extent and geomorphological significance of the Sassafras basalt,south‐eastern New South Wales     

R. W. Young  Ian McDougall 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(4):323-331

Basalt at Sassafras was erupted in the Middle Eocene. The K‐Ar ages average 45.3 ± 4.9 Ma on whole rock and 48.4 ± 1.9 Ma on plagioclase. The basalt is not limited to a plateau capping, but extends 150 m down into adjacent valleys. Comparison with nearby Eocene basalts shows that there was in excess of 250 m of local relief in the central Shoalhaven valley by the Early Tertiary. The basalts were extruded at high elevation, and denudation of the coastal margin of the upland was already well advanced. Post‐basaltic denudation has been very slow, and the Early Tertiary landscape is well preserved.  相似文献   

Prerift and synrift sedimentation during early fault segmentation of a Tertiary carbonate platform, Indonesia     

Moyra E. J. Wilson   《Marine and Petroleum Geology》1999,16(8):262

Eocene carbonate deposits of the Barru area, Sulawesi, Indonesia, provide a rare insight into sedimentation prior to and during propagation of normal faults to the surface. Three main successions; late prerift, latest prerift/earliest synrift and synrift, are characterised by distinctive facies associations and sequence development. Shallow water foraminiferal shoals and intervening lower energy depositional environments occurred during the late prerift in areas which latter formed footwall highs and hangingwall depocentres, respectively. During the latest prerift/earliest synrift, shallow water shelves deepened laterally into slope environments in developing hangingwall depocentres. In both these sequences, sections in developing hangingwall areas are thickest, deepen up-section and thin laterally towards growing footwall highs. Active faulting resulted in rapid drowning of hangingwall depocentres and massive reworking of material derived from collapse of the platform margin and adjacent shallow water/emergent footwall highs.Differential subsidence, controlling water depths and accommodation space, types of carbonate producers and active faulting were the main factors affecting depositional environments and facies distributions. Carbonate producers are extremely sensitive indicators of depositional water depth and energy, hence rapid lateral and vertical facies variations in the Barru area provide quantifiable insight into environmental changes prior to and during active faulting.  相似文献   

Late Tertiary paleoclimatic interpretation from lacustrine rhythmites in the Gray Fossil Site,northeastern Tennessee,USA     

Aaron J. Shunk  Steven G. Driese  John A. Dunbar 《Journal of Paleolimnology》2009,42(1):11-24

The Gray Fossil Site (GFS) includes a small (<2 ha) paleosinkhole lake fill with an exceptionally well-preserved record of sedimentation and fossils from the latest Miocene to earliest Pliocene. The uppermost lacustrine stratigraphy is characterized by rhythmites that regularly alternate between coarse-grained and organic-rich (A) laminae and fine-grained, silty clay (B) laminae. Both the A and B components are almost exclusively comprised of exogenic sediment (including organic matter). Periodicities of 24 and 4.4 are recorded within a continuous 96 interpreted year sequence of rhythmite sediment. In a small lake with a poorly oxygenated bottom, the presence of laterally continuous laminated sediment that includes well-known periodicities in rhythmite thickness is interpreted as representing annually generated varves that correspond to seasonal variations in sedimentation. The distinctly larger fraction of medium sand-size quartz grains present within the A laminae, as well as the abrupt transitions between A and B components suggest that the rhythmites represent deposition during alternating high-energy and lower-energy seasons, which is consistent with a monsoonal precipitation pattern. The seasonal climate may relate to changes in the ocean circulation pattern prior to 4.6 Ma that resulted in an increased temperature and atmospheric pressure gradient between the east coast of North America and the Atlantic Ocean, but this climate phase seems to be only a temporary condition, as underlying and overlying sediment are both consistent with drier conditions. The periodicity at 24 interpreted years is consistent with the well-known Hale solar cycle. The 4.4 interpreted-year periodicity occurs within the ENSO frequency band, and if this documentation of ENSO-like interannual climate change is correct, then it suggests that ENSO operated at times during the warm Earth conditions characterizing the late Tertiary.  相似文献

萨拉瓦提盆地位于东印度尼西亚巴布亚岛的鸟头部分,萨拉瓦提盆地中新世发育的Kais组碳酸盐岩是东南亚第三系碳酸盐岩的主要勘探对象之一。Kais组生物礁是盆地的主要储层和产层。在前人对Kais组碳酸盐岩的基本石油地质特征,特别是沉积特征的研究基础上,结合近年勘探的新资料,进一步探讨萨拉瓦提盆地中新世泻湖相沉积特点,对Kais组生物礁类型、圈闭类型及其储集性进行了较为系统的研究,认为萨拉瓦提盆地Kais组碳酸盐岩具有4种生物礁类型、3种圈闭类型。Kais组碳酸盐岩总体上为二元结构,在Kais组碳酸盐岩下部的滩礁层分布稳定,可作为区域油气运载层。正确认识和把握该盆地生物礁圈闭的特征对指导下一步油气勘探有重要意义。  相似文献

以南堡凹陷高分辨率三维地震、测井和丰富的地质资料为基础, 运用高精度层序地层分析方法, 结合盆地构造和沉积充填特征的研究, 在南堡凹陷古近系识别出了1个超层序组、4个超层序、11个三级层序, 在柳北扇三角洲体系可划分出6个四级层序.根据古构造坡折带控制层序类型和层序构成模式的思路, 通过南堡凹陷古近系同沉积构造发育特征的分析, 认为南堡凹陷古近系存在同沉积断裂坡折带和同沉积背斜挠曲坡折带2种类型, 由此决定了南堡凹陷古近系主要发育了同生断裂坡折型层序和同沉积背斜挠曲坡折型层序, 建立了这2种类型层序体系域构成模式.其中同生断裂坡折型层序和同沉积背斜挠曲坡折型层序的低位域砂体及高位域砂体成藏条件优越、地震剖面易于识别, 是隐蔽油气藏勘探的主要目标.   相似文献   

Reassembling the Paleogene–Eocene North Atlantic igneous province: New paleomagnetic constraints from the Isle of Mull, Scotland     

Morgan Ganerd  Mark A. Smethurst  Sonia Rousse  Trond H. Torsvik  Tore Prestvik 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》2008,272(1-2):464-475

The paleomagnetic data sets from the British Tertiary Igneous Province (BTIP) have recently been criticized as being unreliable and discordant with data from elsewhere in the North Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP) [Riisager et al. Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 201 (2002) 261–276; Riisager et al. Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 214 (2003) 409–425]. We offer new paleomagnetic data for the extensive lava flow sequence on the Isle of Mull, Scotland, and can confirm the paleomagnetic pole positions emanating from important earlier studies. Our new north paleomagnetic pole position for Eurasia at 59 ± 0.2 Ma has latitude 73.3°N, longitude 166.2°E (dp/dm = 5.2/7.0).A re-evaluation and an inter-comparison of the paleomagnetic database emanating from the NAIP were carried out to test for sub-province consistency. We find a general agreement between the Eurasian part of NAIP (BTIP and Faeroes) and East Greenland data. However a compilation of West Greenland data displays a large and unexplained dispersion. We speculate on if this is related to different sense of block rotation of the Tertiary West Greenland constituents. Combining all data from the NAIP constituents, give a pole position at 75.0°N, 169.9°E (N = 25, K = 84.3, A₉₅ = 3.2) in Eurasian reference frame.  相似文献
