The sandstones and coquinas of the upper 20 m of the Sundance Formation are interpreted as a tidal inlet, back-barrier shoal and sandy tidal-flat sequence deposited at the close of marine Jurassic sedimentation in north-central Wyoming. The barrier strandline maintained a generally E-W trend as it prograded to the north. The lateral migration of inter-barrier tidal inlets along the regressive shoreline of the late Sundance sea caused the coquinas and sandstones of the uppermost Sundance Formation to be deposited as tabular, laterally-extensive units. Tidal bundles, sigmoidal reactivation surfaces, herringbone cross-lamination and abundant mud drapes within the sandstones are evidence of considerable tidal influence during the deposition of the uppermost Sundance Formation. Earlier models, which attach an offshore environment of deposition to the sequence, do not explain the tabular geometries of the sandstone and coquina units and their conformable stratigraphic relationship with the overlying non-marine sediments of the Morrison Formation. 相似文献

In this study, the stable isotope and trace element geochemistries of meteoric cements in Pleistocene limestones from Enewetak Atoll (western Pacific Ocean), Cat Island (Bahamas), and Yucatan were characterized to help interpret similar cements in ancient rocks. Meteoric calcite cements have a narrow range of δ18O values and a broad range of δ13C values in each geographical province. These Pleistocene cements were precipitated from water with stable oxygen isotopic compositions similar to modern rainwater in each location. Enewetak calcite cements have a mean δ18O composition of ?6.5%0 (PDB) and δ13C values ranging from ?9.6 to +0.4%0 (PDB). Sparry calcite cements from Cat Island have a mean δ18O composition of ?4.1%0 and δ13C values ranging from ?6.3 to + 1.1%0. Sparry cements from Yucatan have a mean δ18O composition of ?5.7%0 and δ13C values of ?8.0 to ?2.7%0. The mean δ18O values of these Pleistocene meteoric calcite cements vary by 2.4%0 due to climatic variations not related directly to latitude. The δ13C compositions of meteoric cements are distinctly lower than those of the depositional sediments. Variations in δ13C are not simply a function of distance below an exposure surface. Meteoric phreatic cements often have δ13C compositions of less than —4.0%0, which suggests that soil-derived CO2 and organic material were washed into the water table penecontemporaneous with precipitation of phreatic cements. Concentrations of strontium and magnesium are quite variable within and between the three geographical provinces. Mean strontium concentrations for sparry calcite cements are, for Enewetak Atoll, 620 ppm (σ= 510 ppm); for Cat Island, 1200 ppm (σ= 980 ppm); and for Yucatan, 700 ppm (σ= 390 ppm). Equant cements, intraskeletal cements, and Bahamian cements have higher mean strontium concentrations than other cements. Equant and intraskeletal cements probably precipitated in more closed or stagnant aqueous environments. Bahamian depositional sediments had higher strontium concentrations which probably caused high strontium concentrations in their cements. Magnesium concentrations in Pleistocene meteoric cements are similar in samples from Enewetak Atoll (mean =1.00 mol% MgCO3; σ= 0.60 mol% MgCO3) and Cat Island (mean = 0.84 mol% MgCO3; σ= 0.52mol% MgCO3) but Yucatan samples have higher magnesium concentrations (mean = 2.20 mol% MgCO3: σ= 0.84mol% MgCO3). Higher magnesium concentrations in some Yucatan cements probably reflect precipitation in environments where sea water mixed with fresh water. 相似文献

ARTHUR HUGH HICKMAN 《Island Arc》2012,21(1):1-31
The oldest part of the Pilbara Craton is 3.80–3.55 Ga crust. Between 3.53 and 3.22 Ga, mantle plume activity resulted in eight successive volcanic cycles forming the Pilbara Supergroup. Large volumes of granitic magma were intruded during the same period. By 3.22 Ga, a thick continental crust, the East Pilbara Terrane, had been established. Between 3.22 and 3.16 Ga, rifting of the East Pilbara Terrane separated off two additional terranes (Karratha and Kurrana), with intervening basins of oceanic crust. After 3.16 Ga, the three terranes began to converge, resulting in both obduction of oceanic crust (Regal Terrane) and, in another area, subduction to form a 3.13 Ga island arc (Sholl Terrane). At 3.07 Ga, the Karratha, Regal, and Sholl Terranes collided to form the West Pilbara Superterrane, and this collided with the East Pilbara Terrane. The 3.05–2.93 Ga De Grey Superbasin was deposited as a succession of basins: Gorge Creek, Whim Creek, Mallina, and Mosquito Creek. Eventual closure of the basins, between 2.94 and 2.93 Ga, formed two separate orogenic belts on either side of the East Pilbara Terrane. Post‐orogenic granites were intruded between 2.89 and 2.83 Ga. The 2.78–2.63 Ga Fortescue Basin developed in four stages: (i) rifting of the Pilbara Craton; (ii) folding and erosion; (iii) large igneous province (LIP) volcanism; and (iv) marine sedimentation on a passive margin. A review of all known evidence for early life in the Pilbara Craton is provided. In hydrothermal settings, most of the evidence occurs as filamentous and spheroidal microfossils, organic carbon, microbial mats, and rare stromatolites. By contrast, shallow‐water marine sedimentary rocks contain a diverse range of stromatolites, and microbial mats. Lacustrine and shallow‐water marine carbonate rocks in the Fortescue Basin contain abundant and morphologically diverse stromatolites, widespread microbial mats, and organic carbon. 相似文献

Bear Mountain Igneous Complex, Klamath Mountains, California: an Ultrabasic to Silicic Cale-Alkaline Suite 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The Bear Mountain igneous complex, Klamath Mountains, California,can be divided into distinct lithologic suites (order accordingto apparent relative age): (1) satellitic masses of clinopyroxene-richultramafic and gabbroic rocks with subordinate dunite and hornblende-plagioclasepegmatoid; (2) two-pyroxene-biotite diorite and monzodiorite;(3) heterogeneous hornblende-rich rocks varying from gabbroto diorite; (4) leucocratic rocks, chiefly consisting of biotitetonalite and granodiorite; and (5) late dikes (mafic to felsic).Elongate masses of unit (1) flank a composite pluton consistingof units (2–4), while the late dikes (unit 5) intrudethe adjacent country rocks. The rocks of the complex invadedan ophiolite allochthon during the Late Jurassic Nevadan orogeny,and well-defined contact aureoles surround the complex. Lowergreenschist facies rocks, chiefly metabasalt, impure siliceousmetasedimentary rocks, and serpentinized peridotite, have beendynamothermally metamorphosed to mineral assemblages indicativeof hornblende-hornfels facies and locally pyroxene-hornfelsfacies. The emplacement of the igneous complex was chiefly byforcible shouldering aside, although local tectonic featuressuch as faults in the ophiolite allochthon were instrumentalin the emplacement history. The ultramafic and gabbroic rocks are interpreted as crystalcumulates of a fractionated basaltic magma. Mineral compositionsand whole-rock chemical characteristics of the proposed cumulatessuggest that the Mg/Fe ratio of the parental basaltic liquidwas high. The activity of silica was low, while water vaporpressure apparently increased through time until it was moderatelyhigh during the late magmatic stage. These cumulates were subsequentlyremobilized during lateral tectonic compression and emplacedhigher in the crust as hot, semisolid aggregates. A diverse array of data, including pyroxene compositions, major-,minor-, and rare-earth-element abundances and field relations,suggest that the two-pyroxene-biotite diorite/monzodiorite unitwas consanguineous with the clinopyroxene-rich ultramafic andgabbroic rocks. The diorite/monzodiorite unit, therefore, isan intermediate differentiate of an early primitive basalt.Furthermore, major-, trace, and rare-earth-element data characteristicof the diorite/monzodionte unit indicate strong similaritiesto low-Si andesite and clearly suggest a calc-alkaline affinity. Age relations indicate that the hornblende-rich and leucocraticunits are younger and represent the intrusion of other magmasinto the same igneous locus. Petrographic and geochemical datafrom the hornblende-rich unit suggest recrystallization fromhydrous magmas similar in composition to high-Al basalt andbasaltic andesite. The leucocratic suite, consisting chieflyof calc-alkaline tonalitic rocks, is similar to other quartz-richfelsic rocks widespread throughout the Klamath Mountains-westernSierra Nevada. The available petrographic and geochemical dataare consistent with formation of these rocks by either fractionalcrystallization of a wet basaltic magma or partial melting ofamphibolite or eclogite. The Bear Mountain igneous complex is an example of a diversebut distinctive association of ultrabasic to silicic rocks whichcharacterize numerous plutonic complexes in the Klamath Mountains-westernSierra Nevada. These intrusive complexes invade older ensimaticrocks and appear to define the roots of a complex, Middle toLate Jurassic calc-alkaline magmatic arc. The ultramafic andgabbroic rocks characteristic of this plutonic association aresimilar to Alaskan-type complexes but differ in detail. Moresignificantly, these rocks are important clues to the compositionof early magmas as well as the complex processes operative inreservoirs that form the core of calc-alkaline magmatic centers. 相似文献

Siliciclastic sediments on the insular shelf of Puerto Rico are derived from a volcanic arc. The sands are feldspatholithic and subquartzose. They confirm predictions about sandstones of arc derivation in the following ways. The quartz content is low, usually less than 25 %. Feldspar is more abundant than quartz, but less so than lithic fragments. If mud rip-up clasts are excluded from the lithic suite, the ratio V/L (volcanic lithic grains to total unstable lithic grains) assumes values near 0.75. Most of the volcanic lithic grains have textures suggesting intermediate volcanics as source rocks. Ratios of plagioclase to total feldspar are high. Values of the parameter C/Q (stable lithic fragments to total lithic grains) are higher than expected for sandstones of volcanic provenance. Four compositionally and areally distinct assemblages of clay minerals are recognized. Clay suites characterized by major concentrations of both halloysite and smectite are found off the north-west coast. Sediments off the north-central and north-east coasts contain major concentrations of halloysite and lesser amounts of smectite, illite and chlorite. Major concentrations of kaolinite are present off the south-east coast. An assemblage of poorly crystallized smectite with lesser amounts of illite and chlorite occurs off the south-west and south-central coasts. Variation in the mineralogic composition of clays around the perimeter of the island reflects changes in the intensity of chemical weathering and the type of rock exposed in the immediate source area and, in instances, either early diagenetic alteration or, more likely, sorting within the clay fraction by currents on the shelf. 相似文献
