The late Early Permian (273 – 271 Ma) Wandrawandian Siltstone in the southern Sydney Basin of New South Wales represents a marine highstand that can be correlated over 2000 km. A mainly fine-grained terrigenous clastic succession, the Wandrawandian Siltstone contains evidence for cold, possibly glacial conditions based on the presence of outsized clasts and glendonites, mineral pseudomorphs after ikaite, a mineral that forms in cold (0 – 7°C) marine sediments. A lithostratigraphic and facies analysis of the unit was conducted, based on extensive coastal outcrops and continuous drillcores. Eight facies associations were identified: (i) siltstone; (ii) siltstone with minor interbedded sandstone; (iii) interbedded tabular sandstone and siltstone; (iv) admixed sandstone and siltstone to medium-grained sandstone; (v) discrete, discontinuous sandstone intervals; (vi) chaotic conglomerate and sandstone in large channel forms; (vii) chaotically bedded and pervasively soft-sediment-deformed intervals; and (viii) tuffaceous siltstone and claystone. Using lithology and ichnology, relative water depths were ascribed to each facies association. Based on these associations, the unit was divided into five informal members that reveal a history of significant relative sea-level fluctuations throughout the formation: member I, interbedded/admixed sandstone and siltstone; member II, siltstone; member III, slumped masses of members I and II; member IV, siltstone and erosionally based lensoid sandstone beds and channel bodies; and member V, interbedded/admixed sandstone and siltstone with abundant tuffs. Member I marks an initial marine transgression from shoreface to offshore depths. Member II records the maximum water depth of the shelf. Member III is interpreted to be a slump sheet; plausible mechanisms for its emplacement include seismicity produced by tectonism or glacio-isostatic rebound, changes in pore-water pressures due to sea-level fluctuations, or an increase in sedimentation rates. Members IV and V record minor fluctuations in depositional environments from offshore to shoreface water depths. Member IV includes regionally extensive, large channel bodies, with composite fills that are interpreted as storm-influenced mass-flow deposits. Member V includes a greater abundance of volcanic ash. Glacial controls (isostasy, eustasy) and tectonic affects may have worked in concert to produce the changes in depositional environments observed in the Wandrawandian Siltstone. 相似文献

北祁连走廊南山边麻沟-大岔大坂一带保存了记录新元古代-晚古生代地质演化的众多构造-岩石单元。在边麻沟柴达诺岛弧花岗岩体之上, 不整合覆盖了一套由硅泥质岩、粉砂岩、杂砂岩、砾岩共同组成的浊流沉积组合, 其沉积时代缺乏可靠证据, 沉积物源区和构造属性也缺乏研究。粉砂岩中碎屑锆石具有典型岩浆锆石结构特征, 主要集中于529~484 Ma和466~442 Ma两个年龄群, 最年轻碎屑锆石为425 Ma。结合锆石Hf同位素特征和区域已有同位素年代学资料, 认为这些粉砂岩中的碎屑锆石主要来自柴达诺花岗岩体(516~505 Ma), 其次来自北祁连奥陶-志留纪岛弧中酸性岩浆岩, 少数来自寒武纪蛇绿岩及中元古代基底岩石。综合研究分析认为, 边麻沟浊积岩可能形成于志留纪弧前残余海盆环境。 相似文献

The River Supersequence represents a 2nd‐order accommodation cycle of approximately 15 million years duration in the Isa Superbasin. The River Supersequence comprises eight 3rd‐order sequences that are well exposed on the central Lawn Hill Platform. They are intersected in drillholes and imaged by reflection seismic on the northern Lawn Hill Platform and crop out in the McArthur Basin of the Northern Territory. South of the Murphy Inlier the supersequence forms two south‐thickening depositional wedges on the Lawn Hill Platform. The northern wedge extends from the Murphy Inlier to the Elizabeth Creek Fault Zone and the southern wedge extends from Mt Caroline to the area south of Riversleigh Station. On the central Lawn Hill Platform the River Supersequence attains a maximum thickness of 3300 m. Facies are dominantly fine‐grained siliciclastics, but the lower part comprises a mixed carbonate‐siliciclastic succession. Interspersed within fine‐grained facies are sharp‐based sandstone and conglomeratic intervals interpreted as lowstand deposits. Such lowstand deposits represent a wide range of depositional systems and palaeoenvironments including fluvial channels, shallow‐marine shoreface settings, and deeper marine turbidites and sand‐rich submarine fans. Associated transgressive and highstand deposits comprise siltstone and shale deposited below storm wave‐base in relatively quiet, deep‐water settings similar to those found in a mid‐ to outer‐shelf setting. Seismic analysis shows significant fault offsets and thickness changes within the overall wedge geometry. Abrupt thickness changes across faults over small horizontal distances are documented at both the seismic‐ and outcrop‐scales. Synsedimentary fault movement, particularly along steeply north‐dipping, largely northeast‐trending normal faults, partitioned the depositional system into local sub‐basins. On the central Lawn Hill Platform, the nature of facies and their thickness change markedly within small fault blocks. Tilting and uplift of fault blocks affected accommodation cycles in these areas. Erosion and growth of fine‐grained parts of the section is localised within fault‐bounded depocentres. There are at least three stratigraphic levels within the River Supersequence associated with base‐metal mineralisation. Of the seven supersequences in the Isa Superbasin, the River Supersequence encompasses arguably the most dynamic period of basin partitioning, syndepositional faulting, facies change and associated Zn–Pb–Ag mineralisation. 相似文献
