The Taho Formation in western Shikoku Island, Japan, consists of Triassic carbonates that formed on a seamount in the Panthalassic Ocean. In order to investigate the stratigraphy and paleoceanography of this carbonate succession, we analyzed the biostratigraphy and chemostratigraphy of a 17.6 m-thick section of the upper Taho Formation at the stratotype area in Tahokamigumi, Seiyo City. This section comprises bioclastic limestone containing Triassic bivalves, ammonoids, and conodonts. We recognized six conodont zones (in ascending order): the Novispathodus pingdingshanensis, Novispathodus brevissimus, Triassospathodus symmetricus, Triassospathodus homeri, Chiosella timorensis, and Magnigondolella cf. alexanderi zones. Thus, the studied carbonate succession is latest Smithian to Aegean in age. A δ¹³C profile of this section shows elevated values during the lowest Spathian followed by a gradual negative excursion, a subsequent positive excursion near the Spathian–Aegean boundary, and relatively constant values during the Aegean. The characteristic series of negative and positive excursions correlates with other δ¹³C records for this period, including the peak of the upper Smithian–lowest Spathian positive excursion (P3), lower to middle Spathian negative excursion (N4), and middle Spathian–lowest Aegean positive excursion (P4). This represents a new high-resolution Spathian–Aegean δ¹³C record of the Panthalassic Ocean, for which ages are constrained by conodont biostratigraphy. The Taho δ¹³C profile exhibits a consistent positive offset of ~2 ‰ as compared with those from other regions (i.e., mostly in the Tethyan Ocean). This can be explained by preferential removal of ¹²C from seawater during photosynthesis and calcification by marine organisms over the platform, and/or the relatively high δ¹³C values of dissolved inorganic carbon in the Panthalassic Ocean due to less influence of ¹²C-enriched terrestrial waters and high marine organic production/burial as compared with the more restricted Tethyan Ocean.  相似文献   

下三叠统殷坑阶和巢湖阶及其界线研究   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

童金南赵来时  左景勋 《地层学杂志》2005,29(11):548-564

系统介绍层型剖面殷坑阶和巢湖阶的定义和地层特征，并重点讨论了两阶之间的界线，即巢湖阶的底界。巢湖阶的底界层型位于近期提出的全球印度阶一奥伦尼克阶界线层型候选剖面——安徽巢湖平顶山西坡剖面上，界线定义为以牙形石Neospathodus waageni的首现点作为第一标志，菊石Flemingites-Euftemingites带底界作为参考标志。在巢湖剖面上，该界线位于三叠纪第2个正向磁极性带上部、三叠纪碳同位素曲线第1次正向漂移峰值附近；在岩石地层系统中，它位于殷坑组中上部位。简要概述了该界线地层的国际和国内对比的主要标志性化石。  相似文献   

右江盆地西北缘安然背斜东段奥伦尼克期牙形石生物地层研究及地质意义

罗楼组上部灰岩段是右江盆地西北缘奥伦尼克期海生爬行动物化石的唯一赋存层位,生物地层研究精度较低.本文以安然背斜东段敢南、者堡一带罗楼组为研究对象,通过剖面测制,对该组上部灰岩段进行系统的牙形石生物地层研究.结果显示,敢南一带罗楼组上部可识别出5个牙形石带,者堡一带罗楼组上部可识别出3个牙形石带.根据两条剖面牙形石生物地层对比,认为右江盆地西北缘奥伦尼克期包含5个牙形石带,自下而上依次为:Neospathodus pakistanensis 带、Novispathodus waageni 带、Neospathodus crassatus 带、Icriospathodus collinsoni带以及Triassos pathodus homeri-Tr.symmetricus组合带.区内早三叠世海生爬行动物主要产于Triassospathodus homeri-Tr.symmetricus组合带.该研究结果为罗楼组上部灰岩段海生爬行动物群时代的限定提供可靠的生物依据,并为进行奥伦尼克期海生爬行动物群产出层位的精细对比提供佐证.  相似文献
