Deposition and preservation of fluvio-tidal shallow-marine sandstones: A re-evaluation of the Neoproterozoic Jura Quartzite (western Scotland)

The 2 to 5 km thick, sandstone-dominated (>90%) Jura Quartzite is an extreme example of a mature Neoproterozoic sandstone, previously interpreted as a tide-influenced shelf deposit and herein re-interpreted within a fluvio-tidal deltaic depositional model. Three issues are addressed: (i) evidence for the re-interpretation from tidal shelf to tidal delta; (ii) reasons for vertical facies uniformity; and (iii) sand supply mechanisms to form thick tidal-shelf sandstones. The predominant facies (compound cross-bedded, coarse-grained sandstones) represents the lower parts of metres to tens of metres high, transverse fluvio-tidal bedforms with superimposed smaller bedforms. Ubiquitous erosional surfaces, some with granule–pebble lags, record erosion of the upper parts of those bedforms. There was selective preservation of the higher energy, topographically-lower, parts of channel-bar systems. Strongly asymmetrical, bimodal, palaeocurrents are interpreted as due to associated selective preservation of fluvially-enhanced ebb tidal currents. Finer-grained facies are scarce, due largely to suspended sediment bypass. They record deposition in lower-energy environments, including channel mouth bars, between and down depositional-dip of higher energy fluvio-ebb tidal bars. The lack of wave-formed sedimentary structures and low continuity of mudstone and sandstone interbeds, support deposition in a non-shelf setting. Hence, a sand-rich, fluvial–tidal, current-dominated, largely sub-tidal, delta setting is proposed. This new interpretation avoids the problem of transporting large amounts of coarse sand to a shelf. Facies uniformity and vertical stacking are likely due to sediment oversupply and bypass rather than balanced sediment supply and subsidence rates. However, facies evidence of relative sea level changes is difficult to recognise, which is attributed to: (i) the areally extensive and polygenetic nature of the preserved facies, and (ii) a large stored sediment buffer that dampened response to relative sea-level and/or sediment supply changes. Consideration of preservation bias towards high-energy deposits may be more generally relevant, especially to thick Neoproterozoic and Lower Palaeozoic marine sandstones.  相似文献   

喀喇昆仑地体甜水海地区102Ma辉长岩的发现及其对区域中生代构造演化的约束

喀喇昆仑地体是青藏高原的重要构造单元。近来,我们对其中的林济塘中生代盆地地层进行了调查,并在喀喇昆仑地体甜水海地区褶皱的中侏罗统龙山组灰岩中发现了辉长岩侵入体。辉长岩具有高Al2O3(15.07%~15.32%)与TiO2(1.31%~1.34%)、贫P2O5(0.19%~0.21%)和低碱(Na2O+K2O=3.49%~3.72%)的特征,明显富集轻稀土(La/Yb=6.17~7.39),富集Th、La、Nd与Tb,亏损Rb、Sr、P与Y,辉长岩Sr-Nd同位素表现出富集的特征(εNd(t)值分别为-5.8与-5.9)。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年结果显示辉长岩岩浆锆石206Pb/238U年龄为102±1Ma(MSWD=0.92;n=14),指示岩体形成于早白垩世晚期。辉长岩中含有大量继承锆石,38颗继承锆石年龄分布在2450~232Ma之间,其中16颗为前寒武纪年龄锆石,意味着该地区可能存在前寒武纪基底。这些特征意味着辉长岩在形成的过程中经历壳源物质的强烈混染(Nb/U、Ta/U、Ce/Pb分别为26.6~29.1、1.69~1.76、9.72~11.3)。这种经历壳源物质的强烈混染岩浆的形成可能与软流圈上涌有关,即102Ma辉长岩形成时甜水海地区处于伸展背景。结合区域地质特征,指出102Ma时研究区进入新的伸展与海盆发育阶段,并建立了喀喇昆仑地体中生代三阶段构造演化模型,即侏罗纪-早白垩世早期的正常俯冲与弧盆演化、早白垩世的平板俯冲与造山阶段及晚白垩世的正常俯冲与弧盆演化。  相似文献

浅谈前寒武纪条带状铁建造的沉积-变质成矿过程     

李旭平  陈妍蓉 《岩石学报》2021,37(1):253-268

条带状铁建造(BIF)是3.5~1.8Ga前陆架和洋盆的常见沉积物。前寒武纪条带状铁建造构成了世界上重要的铁矿资源。虽然它们成矿过程及其演化的许多方面的问题仍未解决,但人们普遍认为,它们沉积方式的长期变化与地球的环境和地球化学演化有关。条带状铁建造记录了前寒武纪古海洋、古环境、大气条件和细菌代谢条件以及铁的来源和沉积过程。大型BIF沉积与大火成岩省有成因联系,其铁的来源与火山物质加入的海底热液体系有关,或有陆缘岩石风化的无机物产物加入,越靠近陆缘,陆源碎屑物质加入的越多。然而,在太古宙到古元古代期间,BIF沉积的深水盆地中陆源物质的加入很少。那时的铁建造沉积在缺氧的海洋中,通过微生物的光合作用、无氧光合氧化和紫外光线辐射氧化等机制对溶解的二价铁进行氧化,从而形成三价铁氢氧化物和氧化物的沉积。大多数BIF大型矿床,自其在沉积环境中形成以来,它们在从太古宙直至中生代的漫长的地质历史演化过程中经历了铁矿的品位由低到高转化的复杂地质过程,一般经历了深部交代变质作用的除硅、除碳酸岩矿物的富集成矿和浅部风化富集成矿过程。许多BIF铁矿经历了从绿片岩相到角闪岩相变质作用,但到达的压力条件都不是很高,这或许与俯冲的高密度BIF铁矿难以折返的动力学机制有关。迄今为止,变质作用、尤其是高级变质作用对成矿过程的影响研究较少,是今后值得关注的领域。  相似文献   

元古宙真核藻类演化及环境控制因素

宜居地球、地外生命探索以及资源勘查等的需求使真核生物的早期溯源和演化趋势研究成为国际热点.根据已发现实体化石、分子化石和分子钟证据,将元古宙真核藻类演化划分为环境准备(2.45～1.70 Ga)、缓慢发展(1.70～0.80 Ga)、剧烈波动(0.80～0.64 Ga)、快速辐射(0.64～0.54 Ga)四个阶段.元古宙真核生物的出现、演化和辐射进程与地球氧化和极端气候事件(如冰期)的发生具耦合性,表现出早期生命与地球表层环境的协同演化.真核藻类在1.70～0.80 Ga期间的缓慢演化可能与长期较低的大气氧含量(约为现今水平的1％～10％PAL)有关.低的大气-海洋氧化程度不仅限制了真核藻类生存空间,也通过对氮、磷等营养元素的供应约束,限制了真核藻类初级生产力水平.因此,地球表层氧化可能是地球宜居演化,并孕育出真核生物等各种复杂生命的主要原因.从地球系统形成与演变的角度探索生物圈演化或能对生命的过去和未来给出更为可靠的答案.  相似文献

黑龙江省黑河市340高地金矿点大地构造上位于兴安地块东北缘,多宝山Cu-Au-Mo-W-Fe成矿亚带内,其地貌为浅覆盖区,找矿较为困难。本文采用浅钻技术取样,对研究区进行基岩填图,圈定出以硅化为中心、青磐岩化为外围的蚀变矿化带。对基岩样品进行岩石地球化学分析,通过主成分分析,确定有6个主成分特征值大于1,其中第二主成分与金元素关系密切,是研究区有效的找矿标志。高精度磁测结果显示区内构造以NNW向为主,且其线性低值异常或与蚀变引起的退磁有关。对区内的地物化异常进行工程查证,发现金矿点1处,圈定预测靶区1处。  相似文献   

Petrology and geochemistry of the Karaj Dam basement sill: Implications for geodynamic evolution of the Alborz magmatic belt     

《Chemie der Erde / Geochemistry》2015,75(2):237-260

The northeastward subduction of the Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere beneath the Iranian block produced vast volcanic and plutonic rocks that now outcrop in central (Urumieh–Dokhtar magmatic assemblage) and north–northeastern Iran (Alborz Magmatic Belt), with peak magmatism occurring during the Eocene. The Karaj Dam basement sill (KDBS), situated in the Alborz Magmatic Belt, comprises gabbro, monzogabbro, monzodiorite, and monzonite with a shoshonitic affinity. These plutonic rocks are intruded into the Karaj Formation, which comprise pyroclastic rocks dating to the lower–upper Eocene. The geochemical and isotopic signatures of the KDBS rocks indicate that they are cogenetic and evolved through fractional crystallization. They are characterized by an enrichment in LREEs relative to HREEs, with negative Nb–Ta anomalies. Geochemical modeling using Sm/Yb versus La/Yb and La/Sm ratios suggests a low-degree of partial melting of a phlogopite–spinel peridotite source to generate the KDBS rocks. Their low I_Sr = 0.70453–0.70535, ɛNd (37.2 Ma) = 1.54–1.9, and T_DM ages ranging from 0.65 to 0.86 Ga are consistent with the melting of a Cadomian enriched lithospheric mantle source, metasomatized by fluids derived from the subducted slab or sediments during magma generation. These interpretations are consistent with high ratios of ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 18.43–18.67, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 15.59, and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 38.42–38.71, indicating the involvement of subducted sediments or continental crust. The sill is considered to have been emplaced in an environment of lithospheric extension due to the slab rollback in the lower Eocene. This extension led to localized upwelling of the asthenosphere, providing the heat required for partial melting of the subduction-contaminated subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath the Alborz magmatic belt. Then, the shoshonitic melt generates the entire spectrum of KDBS rocks through assimilation and fractional crystallization during the ascent of the magma.  相似文献   

华南沉积岩系Hg、Sb丰度     

刘义茂  杨东生  杨小强  庞保成 《大地构造与成矿学》2011,35(3):410-420

从区域构造地球化学演化的角度来看,华南Hg、Sb矿床的形成主要可划分为三个阶段:(1)沉积层(主要是元古宙基底沉积层)堆积过程中Hg、Sb的储集;(2)元古宙基底(沉积层)的下沉-熔融-花岗岩形成与Hg、Sb释放;(3)在有利构造的引控下,含Hg、Sb流体形成、演化与成矿,简称为储存-释放-富集宏观三阶段。本文重点阐述的是第一阶段,华南沉积层特别是元古宙基底沉积层的Hg、Sb丰度。文中将华南沉积层Hg、Sb丰度分为四种类型:Ⅰ原生本底丰度;Ⅱ同生异常丰度;Ⅲ后生丰度;Ⅳ混合丰度。本文计算、统计出华南沉积岩系本底丰度Hg为0.368μg/g,Sb为1.28μg/g。华南元古宙基底沉积岩系本底丰度Hg为0.363μg/g,Sb为1.45μg/g都明显高于地壳及花岗岩Hg、Sb丰度值。  相似文献
