青藏高原羌塘地区晚三叠世构造-古地理研究

羌塘地区晚三叠世构造-古地理面貌总体呈多岛海格局,自北向南可分出3个次级构造-古地理单元:北羌塘弧后前陆盆地、龙木错-双湖残留盆地、南羌塘边缘海。北羌塘前陆盆地又分出5个古地理单元:以复理石沉积为特征的藏夏河-明境湖半深海;以细碎屑岩沉积为特征的唐古拉浅海陆棚;以碳酸盐沉积为特征的菊花山台地;以含煤碎屑岩系沉积为特征的土门格拉-双湖滨岸-三角洲和以酸性火山岩-火山碎屑岩喷发为特征的那底岗日-各拉丹东火山岛弧。盆地基底显示为南浅北深的箕状格局;盆地充填物为南薄北厚的楔形沉积体;盆地具有双物源、沉降中心和沉积中心不一致等特征,表明北羌塘盆地具有前陆盆地构造-沉积特征。南羌塘边缘海自北向南可分出3个古地理单元:以基性火山岩、碳酸盐岩和砂泥质碎屑岩为特征的肖茶卡浅海;以碳酸盐岩为特征的日干配错台地;以泥页岩夹粉砂岩、泥质灰岩为特征的南羌塘南缘半深海。南羌塘盆地基底显示为南、北低,中部高的丘状格局,盆地充填物为南薄北厚的楔形沉积体;盆地物源来自北部的中央隆起和那底岗日岛弧、盆地沉降中心在北部,而沉积中心在南部等特征,表明南羌塘盆地具有边缘海构造-沉积特征。羌塘地区晚三叠世构造-古地理研究对恢复南、北羌塘原型盆地的构造属性具有重要意义。     

东昆仑西段晚古生代盆地系

东昆仑西段晚古生代从北向南分别为昆北弧后盆地、昆中岛弧及昆南弧前增生楔.在二叠纪,增生楔又转变成岛弧及弧后盆地.昆北弧后盆地石炭纪发育有陆缘到深海盆地的沉积,二叠纪由碎屑岩过渡为浅海碳酸盐岩.昆中岛弧带沉积盖层为一些碳酸盐岩孤立台地和小的山间盆地,并有火山熔岩、火山碎屑岩的堆积.昆南弧前盆地岩石类型非常复杂,石炭纪包括了陆源碎屑岩、火山熔岩、火岩碎屑岩、钙屑浊积岩、硅质岩等.二叠纪的弧间盆地从深海盆地演化为浅海碳酸盐岩沉积.前锋弧也逐渐露出水面,形成孤立灰岩台地.东昆仑西段晚古生代沉积整体特征具有沉积相分布不对称性及"盆岭"相问展布、沉积类型多样性、物源、古流向的双(多)向性、沉积序列的两层性、沉积物的成熟度低、近源等.盆地演化可划分为盆地扩张阶段、弧陆碰撞阶段两个阶段.总体表现为弧后盆地性质的沉积与演化特点.

柴达木盆地北缘早古生代沉积—构造事件耦合关系

柴达木盆地北缘地区在泛非-祁连期经历了复杂的洋陆转化阶段,于寒武纪-奥陶纪发育了汇聚板块边缘的沟-弧-盆体系,形成了NWW-SEE向展布的柴北缘构造带早古生代岛弧及弧后盆地,沉积了一套碳酸盐岩-碎屑岩-火山岩建造。在此期间,柴北缘古洋壳的俯冲消减作用及欧龙布鲁克微地块和柴达木地块的汇聚作用与欧龙布鲁克微地块南缘沉积类型的发展演化之间存在有机的联系,构成了完整的盆-山耦合体系,引发了一系列构造事件、火山喷发事件及多种类型的事件沉积等。其中欧龙布鲁克微地块整体位于滩间山岛弧北部,在早古生代发生构造背景的转变,由被动大陆边缘转为活动大陆边缘,并诱发了多期火山喷发事件,在柴北缘构造带内形成多套火山岩、火山碎屑岩以及变碎屑岩夹层,同时陆-弧碰撞造山导致的陆壳基底的隆升及大量岛弧物质为稍后期的盆地内部碎屑岩沉积提供了重要物源。与此同时,欧龙布鲁克微地块由稳定型浅水碳酸盐岩台地沉积陷落为深水斜坡环境,在盆地内早奥陶世晚期系有规律地集中发育碳酸盐岩滑塌沉积及重力流沉积（海底扇,浊积岩等）。在此之后,由于岛弧物质向盆地内部提供大量碎屑物质,且陆-弧碰撞触发的火山及地震活动导致了同时期大量的碎屑重力流沉积的发育,并触发相对深水区沉积物向更深水区移动,使得其沉积类型转化为浊流沉积。统计表明上述事件沉积发育的时间与柴北缘地区构造活动相对活跃期基本一致,因此这些早奥陶世晚期厚层、多期次、非稳定性的重力流砂体为柴北缘洋陆俯冲及陆-弧碰撞背景下形成的,它们之间存在耦合关系。

昆仑造山带早-中泥盆世沉积特征及盆地性质探讨

昆仑造山带基本构造—地层格架奠基于古生代,是早古生代和晚古生代洋陆转换、碰撞造山的结果。早古生代末的加里东碰撞造山运动,使早古生代洋盆闭合,昆仑地区整体抬升为陆,作为造山运动的沉积响应,在结合带的山前地区形成早—中泥盆世前陆盆地沉积。东昆仑下—中泥盆统分布于昆中、昆南区,北部为深海、次深海盆地沉积和浅海陆棚及海陆过渡相沉积,南部为滨浅海沉积,沉积物在三维空间上具有北厚南薄的楔状体特点。时间序列上表现为深海、次深海—浅海陆棚—海陆交互相特征,反映沉积盆地向上变浅的规律。物源主要来源于北部北昆仑早古生代造山带,南部为次要物源区。由于其发育于志留纪末祁漫塔格洋盆闭合后的俯冲陆块之上,反映其具有周缘前陆盆地沉积的总体特征。西昆仑只在昆北区发育中泥盆统,西南部主要为深海、次深海盆地沉积,上部发育滨浅海沉积,北部及塔里木南部边缘为滨浅海沉积,沉积物在三维空间上具有西南厚东北薄的楔状体特点。时间序列上表现为深海、半深海—浅海—海陆交互—陆相沉积特点,亦表现为沉积盆地向上变浅的规律。物源主要来源于西南造山带,东北部塔里木古陆为次要物源区。结合该套地层发育于奥陶纪末库地洋盆闭合后的中昆仑岩浆弧后的昆北地区,反映其具有弧后前陆盆地沉积的总体特征。     

漠河盆地上侏罗统沉积特征与构造背景

对晚侏罗世漠河盆地的沉积特征进行了分析,并探讨了其构造类型和成因机制。详细的沉积学研究表明:晚侏罗世漠河盆地主要发育冲积扇、扇三角洲和湖泊相沉积,属于前陆盆地的陆相磨拉石部分。晚侏罗世漠河盆地的物源来自南北两个方向,具有典型前陆盆地双向物源特点:北部物源区是蒙古-鄂霍茨克造山带,位于西伯利亚板块南缘;南部物源区是下伏板块基底,位于大兴安岭北部。根据沉积特征、区域大地构造背景和俄罗斯上阿穆尔盆地有关资料认为:晚侏罗世漠河盆地为漠河-上阿穆尔前陆盆地的南半部分,形成和演化受蒙古-鄂霍茨克造山带制约;晚侏罗世二十二站期和额木尔河期是漠河盆地的主要成盆期,该时期湖泊面积广阔、暗色泥岩发育,是烃源岩的重要形成期。

Tertiary facies architecture in the Kutai Basin,Kalimantan, Indonesia

The Kutai Basin occupies an area of extensive accommodation generated by Tertiary extension of an economic basement of mixed continental/oceanic affinity. The underlying crust to the basin is proposed here to be Jurassic and Cretaceous in age and is composed of ophiolitic units overlain by a younger Cretaceous turbidite fan, sourced from Indochina. A near complete Tertiary sedimentary section from Eocene to Recent is present within the Kutai Basin; much of it is exposed at the surface as a result of the Miocene and younger tectonic processes. Integration of geological and geophysical surface and subsurface data-sets has resulted in re-interpretation of the original facies distributions, relationships and arrangement of Tertiary sediments in the Kutai Basin. Although much lithostratigraphic terminology exists for the area, existing formation names can be reconciled with a simple model explaining the progressive tectonic evolution of the basin and illustrating the resulting depositional environments and their arrangements within the basin. The basin was initiated in the Middle Eocene in conjunction with rifting and likely sea floor spreading in the Makassar Straits. This produced a series of discrete fault-bounded depocentres in some parts of the basin, followed by sag phase sedimentation in response to thermal relaxation. Discrete Eocene depocentres have highly variable sedimentary fills depending upon position with respect to sediment source and palaeo water depths and geometries of the half-graben. This contrasts strongly with the more regionally uniform sedimentary styles that followed in the latter part of the Eocene and the Oligocene. Tectonic uplift documented along the southern and northern basin margins and related subsidence of the Lower Kutai Basin occurred during the Late Oligocene. This subsidence is associated with significant volumes of high-level andesitic–dacitic intrusive and associated volcanic rocks. Volcanism and uplift of the basin margins resulted in the supply of considerable volumes of material eastwards. During the Miocene, basin fill continued, with an overall regressive style of sedimentation, interrupted by periods of tectonic inversion throughout the Miocene to Pliocene.     

Depositional setting,provenance, and tectonic-volcanic setting of Eocene–Recent deep-sea sediments of the oceanic Izu–Bonin forearc,northwest Pacific (IODP Expedition 352)

New biostratigraphical, geochemical, and magnetic evidence is synthesized with IODP Expedition 352 shipboard results to understand the sedimentary and tectono-magmatic development of the Izu–Bonin outer forearc region. The oceanic basement of the Izu–Bonin forearc was created by supra-subduction zone seafloor spreading during early Eocene (c. 50–51 Ma). Seafloor spreading created an irregular seafloor topography on which talus locally accumulated. Oxide-rich sediments accumulated above the igneous basement by mixing of hydrothermal and pelagic sediment. Basaltic volcanism was followed by a hiatus of up to 15 million years as a result of topographic isolation or sediment bypassing. Variably tuffaceous deep-sea sediments were deposited during Oligocene to early Miocene and from mid-Miocene to Pleistocene. The sediments ponded into extensional fault-controlled basins, whereas condensed sediments accumulated on a local basement high. Oligocene nannofossil ooze accumulated together with felsic tuff that was mainly derived from the nearby Izu–Bonin arc. Accumulation of radiolarian-bearing mud, silty clay, and hydrogenous metal oxides beneath the carbonate compensation depth (CCD) characterized the early Miocene, followed by middle Miocene–Pleistocene increased carbonate preservation, deepened CCD and tephra input from both the oceanic Izu–Bonin arc and the continental margin Honshu arc. The Izu–Bonin forearc basement formed in a near-equatorial setting, with late Mesozoic arc remnants to the west. Subduction-initiation magmatism is likely to have taken place near a pre-existing continent–oceanic crust boundary. The Izu–Bonin arc migrated northward and clockwise to collide with Honshu by early Miocene, strongly influencing regional sedimentation.     

南秦岭横丹浊积岩系——晚古生代发育于扬子板块被动陆缘上的弧前盆地充填物

南秦岭横丹浊积岩系是一套巨厚的浊流沉积,以向南或南东倾的单斜构造产出。由下而上,该沉积层序包括深水盆地、深水浊积扇和斜坡水道3个相序。相应地,沉积物粒度变粗,厚度变大,火山质组分含量增加,凝灰层大量发育,表明横丹浊积岩系为活动型浊积岩;其古水流方向为NNW—NNE向,物源区为南侧的碧口火山岩系。另外,横丹浊积岩系内还见石英岩、重结晶大理岩成分的砾石,说明其物源还包括被动陆缘环境的沉积物。相序、组构、沉积特征和物源区综合分析表明,横丹浊积岩系为弧前盆地充填物。构筑这一弧前盆地的动力学机制是洋壳板块向南俯冲于扬子板块被动陆缘之下,时代可能晚于中晚泥盆世。     

雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩的形成与日喀则弧前盆地沉积演化

雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩被时代连续的日喀则群沉积覆盖及其形成时代(120-110Ma)与冈底斯弧开始发育的时代(115-100Ma)十分相近的事实使人们有理由提出:雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩是否代表着印度板块与拉萨地块间的特提斯-喜玛拉雅洋残迹的疑问。根据近期的研究,笔者认为雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩不是形成于三叠纪的特提斯-喜玛拉雅洋的残迹,而是特提斯-喜玛拉雅洋向拉萨地块俯冲的初期(阿普第-阿尔必期),由俯冲作用在冈底斯弧前地区引发的海底扩张作用形成的一种俯冲带上叠型蛇绿岩(supra-subduction zone ophiolites).至森诺曼期,弧前海底扩张作用停止,雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩开始向南仰冲,在其南侧形成增生杂岩楔。仰起的蛇绿岩开始向日喀则弧前盆地提供蛇绿质碎屑,如冲堆组。森诺曼期-土仑期,盆地接受了一套深水复理石沉积,沉积物源部分来自南部边缘脊的蛇绿质碎屑,而大部分则来自北侧的弧火山岩和岩浆岩碎屑。森诺期-路坦丁期,盆地逐渐变浅,接受了浅海-滨海沉积,物源均来自北部的岩浆弧。至始新世末期,发育在盆地南侧的增生杂岩楔与印度板块发生碰撞,日喀则弧前盆地闭合。     

Slab rollback suggested by latest Miocene to Pliocene forearc stress and migration of volcanic front in southern Kyushu, northern Ryukyu Arc

The northern Ryukyu Arc has active backarc rift, neutral-stress forearc, and active accretionary prism. The Okinawa Trough has been shaped by the episodic rifting in the backarc. Paleostresses were inferred in this study from mesoscale faults in Neogene forearc sediments called the Miyazaki Group, southeast Kyushu in the northern Ryukyu Arc. The forearc stress changed from compressional to extensional from the latest Miocene through Early Pliocene time. The stress history is concordant with the transition in tectonic regime from folding to rifting in the backarc. The transition in the stress state occurred simultaneously also with trenchward movement of the volcanic front. These phenomena suggest that the subducting slab under southern Kyushu became steeper in the Early Pliocene. Extensional tectonics ceased sometime in the late Pliocene or early to mid-Pleistocene, concordant with the counterclockwise change of subducting direction of the Philippine Sea Plate.     

Provenance analysis of the Upper Miocene turbidite sand-bodies in deep-sea basin of northern South China Sea

The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 367/368 reported massive Upper Miocene deep-sea turbidite in the northern South China Sea basin. The Upper Miocene turbidite sand-bodies at Site U1500 were examined with detrital zircon U-Pb dating to conduct the source-to-sink analysis. This study shows that the U-Pb age spectrums of Site U1500 sample are similar to those detrital zircons from the Miocene Qiongdongnan Basin and the Pearl River Mouth Basin. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) plot also shows that the turbidite sand-bodies at Site U1500 are closely related to the sediments in the Pearl River Mouth Basin and Qiongdongnan Basin. It is likely that the thick deep-sea turbidite succession in the deep-water basin of northern South China Sea was formed by a mixed provenance pattern during the late Miocene. On the one hand, terrigenous sediments from the west of the South China Sea were transported along the Central Canyon to the eastern South China Sea deep-sea basin in the form of turbidity current. On the other hand, terrigenous sediments were also transported from the Pearl River through the slope canyon system to the northern South China Sea in the form of gravity flow . Those mixed sediments from two different source areas have collectively deposited at the deep-sea basin and thus, give rise to turbidite sequence of hundred meters. Provenance analysis of the thick turbidites sand-bodies in the deep-sea basin is of great significance to the profound understanding of the tectonic evolution, filling processes, provenance evolution, and the palaeogeographic characteristics of the Cenozoic basins of the South China Sea.     

南海北部深海盆地上中新统浊积砂体物源分析*

IODP367/368航次在南海北部深海盆地多个站位发现上中新统厚达数百米的大规模深海浊积岩。采用碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱系分析方法对U1500站上中新统浊积砂体进行源汇对比分析。研究结果表明U1500站上中新统浊积岩碎屑锆石年龄谱系与其西侧琼东南盆地和北侧珠江口盆地中新世沉积物特征类似。多维排列分析(MDS)结果也显示,该站位样品与珠江口盆地、琼东南盆地沉积物关系密切,表明南海北部深海盆地内厚达数百米的上中新统浊积砂体为南海北部物源和南海西部物源混合堆积形成。南海西部陆源输入物质以浊流搬运的方式,沿中央峡谷从西到东搬运至南海东部深海盆地;南海北部珠江物源以重力流的形式,经南海北部陆坡峡谷搬运至深海盆地中,两种来源的沉积物在深海盆地发生混合沉积,形成U1500站厚达数百米的浊积砂体。南海北部深海盆地厚层浊积砂体物质来源的准确识别,对深刻理解南海新生代盆地的构造演化、沉积物充填过程、物源演变以及古地理特征均具有重要意义。     

印度尼西亚库泰盆地油气地质特征及勘探方向

库泰盆地是印度尼西亚最大、最深的第三系含油气盆地,也是该国最主要的产油气盆地。盆地经历了断陷期、拗陷期和反转期三个发育阶段,充填的第三系沉积物厚度达14 km。盆地发育四套烃源岩,其中,中中新统三角洲平原煤和三角洲前缘碳质泥岩是滨浅海区有效烃源岩,上中新统富含碳质碎屑浊积岩是深水区有效烃源岩;油气纵向上主要富集于中中新统、上中新统及上新统,平面上主要富集于背斜构造中。综合分析认为,深海平原区上中新统斜坡扇、盆底扇砂岩是下库泰盆地潜在勘探领域,渐新统—下中新统是三马林达复背斜带有利勘探领域,始新统盆地边缘上超尖灭砂体是上库泰盆地潜在勘探领域,始新统—中新统台地生物礁是库泰盆地深层潜在勘探领域。     

Sedimentary filling characteristics of the South China Sea oceanic basin,with links to tectonic activity during and after seafloor spreading

ABSTRACT

Based on approximately 11,000 km of seismic reflection data collected across the South China Sea oceanic basin, we describe the sedimentary filling characteristics of the basin since its Oligocene opening, as well as connections between this history and contemporaneous regional tectonic events. The seismic lines are spaced ~50 km apart, and the data are tied to International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 349 drilling data. Basin filling occurred in three phases, with basin-wide mean sedimentation rates increasing through time. During the Oligocene to middle Miocene, sediments accumulated primarily in the northern East and Northwest Sub-basins, with a mean basin-wide sedimentation rate of 8 m/m.y. The presence of these deposits over deep basement floor indicates that seafloor spreading initiated in these northern regions. During the late Miocene, deposition occurred primarily in the Northwest Sub-basin and partly in the southern East Sub-basin, with a mean basin-wide sedimentation rate of 30 m/m.y. Basin filling during this time seems to have been linked to slip reversal of the Red River Fault and collision of the North Palawan Block with the Luzon Arc. During the Pliocene and Pleistocene, sediments accumulated rapidly in the northeastern and southern East Sub-basin and the Southwest Sub-basin. The mean basin-wide sedimentation rate was 70 m/m.y. Basin filling during this phase seems to have been associated with the Taiwan and North Palawan collisions, SCS subduction along the Manila Trench, and Tibetan Plateau uplift. Gravity flow deposits predominate throughout the basin fill.     

济阳坳陷东营凹陷古近系沙河街组沉积相

济阳坳陷东营凹陷的主要含油层系为古近系沙河街组。沙河街组各段沉积相的展布各具特征,演化序列清楚。沙四段早期主要发育冲积—洪积扇,分布于湖盆的边缘地区;沙四段晚期,受北断南超的箕状构造背景控制,由北向南依次发育了近岸水下扇、滑塌浊积扇、半深湖相和滨浅湖濉坝相沉积。沙三段沉积时期是三角洲发育的鼎盛时期,三角洲的主体主要分布于凹陷的东部和中部地区,伴随着三角洲自东向西的推进及湖盆范围的不断缩小,沉积类型由早期的三角洲—滑塌浊积扇、三角洲—坡移浊积扇体系向晚期的河流—三角洲体系演化。南部斜坡带以河流相沉积为主,北部陡坡带垂向上由近岸水下扇—滑塌浊积扇、三角洲和辫状河三角洲组成。经过沙三段沉积时期三角洲等的填平补齐作用,到沙二段沉积时期以河流相沉积为主,只在凹陷西部的利津洼陷发育小规模的三角洲—浅湖相沉积。沙—段沉积时期湖盆发生大规模湖侵,物源供应减弱,以滨、浅湖相沉积为主,在凹陷南部边缘发育有滩坝相沉积。
