华南扬子地区新元古代地层划分对比研究新进展

华南扬子地区发育有新元古代完整的沉积地层记录,是研究我国新元古代时期古大陆演化与沉积盆地演替的天然平台。四堡—晋宁造山运动(约850~820Ma)以前,新元古代早期的扬子陆块总体上处于弧陆碰撞与弧后前陆盆地充填阶段。约820Ma以后,新生裂谷盆地开启了新一轮板块构造旋回,至约635Ma,华南扬子陆块走过了一段冰与火的不平坦里程。板溪群沉积期(约820~720Ma),在Rodinia超大陆裂解的构造背景下,伴随着三幕重要的火山岩浆事件,沉积了一套裂谷盆地充填序列。板溪晚期,由于Rodinia超大陆主要陆块的裂离(Drifting),伴随着区域性海平面下降,迎来了南华大冰期的长安冰期沉积;实际上,南华大冰期并非严格的"雪球地球",而且期间还存在一个间冰期(富禄间冰期);随后,可能与海平面持续的海侵上超有关,南沱冰期沉积区域展布广泛。由此可见,华南扬子地区晋宁—四堡造山后至南华冰期,沉积序列、事件序列特征明显,阶段性清楚,为新元古代地层划分对比提供了基础条件。     

扬子区新元古代前震旦纪地层对比

近年来,随着离子探针等同位素定年技术的广泛应用,华南扬子区新元古代地层确切的时间框架愈发清晰。来自四堡群、板溪群及相应地层的同位素年龄数据表明,扬子区晋宁—四堡造山运动发生的时间约为8.3~8.2亿年前,持续时间可能不到10 Myr。板溪群与莲沱组地层不是上下关系,二者基本上是同时异相,莲沱组比板溪群沉积起始时间稍晚。南华系(成冰系)的底界应放在新元古代比较公认的最早的全球性冰期沉积地层的底部,在华南即长安组或江口组的底部(~720 Ma)。受华南新元古代裂谷盆地演化的控制,扬子区从东南盆地相区往西北浅水台地相区,南华系地层厚度变小、发育越来越不完整。南华系最上部南沱组及相应地层的沉积在扬子区分布最为广泛。     

华南"南华系"研究新进展--论南华系地层划分与对比

华南新元古代裂谷系由一系列地堑、地垒式次级盆地组成，裂谷系地层位于震旦系与四堡造山不整合面之间，区域上侧向延伸不连续，呈“楔状地层”展布。大量新的U-Pb同位素年龄资料表明，“楔状地层”下部(包括板溪群或与之相当的高涧群、芙蓉溪群、丹洲群、下江群、登山群、厉口群等)的底界年龄均小于或接近820Ma。因此，在华南四堡造山不整合面之上缺失了与华北青白口系相当的绝大部分地层(1000-820Ma)，这一结论与目前中国华南地层划分方案不同。由于820Ma代表了华南新元古代裂谷系沉积超覆的“起点”年龄，且这一重要沉积事件的时间又与国际地层委员会新元古界三分方案中成冰系的底界年龄接近，因此，建议将华南新元古代裂谷系沉积超覆地层与四堡造山带变质岩系之间的不整合面作为”南华系”的底界面。     

江南造山带皖南地区历口群沉积相、物源和时代研究

江南造山带东段皖南地区的历口群,通常被认为是Rodinia超大陆形成后的早期裂谷沉积,记录了扬子板块东南缘东段晋宁造山作用后皖南地区新元古代盆地演化。但迄今为止皖南新元古代地层同位素年代学数据仍比较欠缺,且对历口群缺乏典型剖面的沉积学研究,沉积物物源仍不清楚,制约了对扬子地块东南缘东段新元古代盆地演化的全面认识。因此,本文选取出露于江南造山带东段的镇头组和邓家组典型剖面,运用沉积学、地层学和锆石U-Pb年代学方法,系统分析历口群沉积相及其物源特征,认为历口群形成时代在820～760 Ma之间,镇头组形成于近岸水下扇环境,主要物源为双桥山群浅变质岩和与双桥山群岛弧岩浆活动有关的地区,邓家组形成于滨岸环境,主要物源来自于扬子板块内部,部分与南华系裂谷火山岩和双桥山群岛弧岩浆活动有关。本研究对新元古代江南次级盆地演化时限提供制约,为扬子地块东南缘新元古代年代地层格架的建立和盆地的重建提供重要依据。     

浙西北建德地区休宁组沉积时限的厘定:来自凝灰岩锆石U- Pb年代学的制约

浙西北建德地区休宁组(原称志棠组)是华南新元古代的重要地层单元之一,但其沉积时限和区域对比关系长期存在争论。本文对采自休宁组下部和上部的凝灰岩进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年,获得两件凝灰岩样品的形成年龄分别为785.0±2.8Ma(MSWD=0.85,n=37)和727.5±7.3Ma(MSWD=0.64,n=7)。结合前人研究成果认为,休宁组沉积时限为～800Ma至～728Ma;野外沉积学研究表明,休宁组沉积构造发育,主体属于正常气候条件下的冲积扇和滨浅海(湖)沉积,非南华冰期地层;区域上,休宁组与板溪群及其相当地层的中上部、莲沱组、苏雄组/开建桥组、澄江组沉积时限基本相当,与下冰期(Sturtian冰期)长安组不存在对比关系,应明确为华南"四堡造山运动"不整合面之上、南华冰期之下的一套裂谷充填序列。     

贵州南华纪—震旦纪沉积大地构造及其对沉积矿产的控制作用

新元古代早期(820 720 Ma),华南由扬子地块、华夏地块和江南造山带3个构造单元组成。新元古代晚期,南华纪-震旦纪(720 541 Ma)沿新元古代早期的江南造山带发育一裂谷盆地-南华裂谷,贵州东部是南华裂谷的重要组成部分。传统认为黔东地区该裂谷盆地为北北东向,越来越多的证据证明该裂谷盆地为北东东向。黔东地区南华纪裂谷盆地具有典型的地堑、地垒结构,并控制着"大塘坡式"锰矿的分布。震旦纪之后,裂谷盆地处于沉降阶段,沉降中心向南迁移到凯里-玉屏一线。震旦纪时期,扬子地块和南华裂谷存在明显的滨浅海磷矿-碳酸盐岩和深水泥质岩-硅质岩的沉积分异。扬子地块和南华裂谷控制着扬子地块震旦系陡山沱组磷矿和南华裂谷老堡组重晶石等沉积矿产的分布。富磷矿位于松桃-贵阳同沉积断裂以北的扬子地块南缘,重晶石矿发育于裂谷盆地强烈沉降区的天柱-岑巩一带。     

黔南晚古生代早期碎屑锆石记录及物源转换响应

贵州黔南独山地区处扬子陆块东南缘,出露较完整的下古生界地层,对该区开展碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱研究可为晚古生代之前扬子地块与华夏地块结合带构造属性的进一步确定和对华南大地构造演化的深入研究提供新依据。本文对该区下泥盆统丹林组5件石英砂岩分析了375颗碎屑锆石:锆石阴极发光具有典型的振荡环带、不规则分带,Th/U比值多大于01,强Ce正异常、弱Eu负异常特征;346组谐和年龄显示来自多个源区,5组主要年龄峰值2 456 Ma、1 366 Ma、970 Ma、536 Ma、402 Ma,以970 Ma为最突出峰值。研究认为古生代锆石源于桂北-湘西内陆加里东期花岗岩、新元古代锆石主要来自江南造山带内新元古代四堡群、丹州群的火成岩;中元古代-太古宙锆石可能从华夏板块内部搬运到扬子板块。进一步论证了古生代华夏板块和扬子板块之间不存在沉积阻隔区,是一个整体板块;丹林组沉积于华南地块内的一个克拉通盆地。     

桂北地区丹洲群锆石U-Pb年代学及对华南新元古代裂谷作用期次的启示

桂北地区丹洲群是南华裂谷盆地南段的一套连续裂谷充填沉积,厘定各组沉积时限及区域地层关系,对理解华南新元古代裂谷作用期次具有重要意义。本文利用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素测年,获得丹洲群合桐组二段和拱洞组底部凝灰岩夹层形成年龄分别为801±4 Ma和781±5 Ma。研究表明,丹洲群白竹组和合桐组一段与下江群甲路组和乌叶组、板溪群沧水铺组和马底驿组、西乡群孙家河组及陆良组一段相当,沉积时限为820~800 Ma;合桐组二段与下江群番召组相当,沉积时限为800~780 Ma;拱洞组可与下江群清水江组、平略组和隆里组,板溪群五强溪组中上部和牛牯坪组,西乡群大石沟组中上部和三郎铺组,陆良组二段及澄江组、开建桥组、莲沱组、虹赤村组和上墅组的中上部直接对比,沉积时限为780~725 Ma。华南新元古代裂谷盆地系统的典型地层锆石年龄存在5组高峰,峰值年龄分别为818±2 Ma、802±1 Ma、780±4 Ma、756±4 Ma及728±5 Ma。综合华南新元古代岩浆活动特征及盆地沉积演化过程,确定华南新元古代裂谷作用可分为两期:820~800 Ma和800~725 Ma。此外,华南新元古代岩浆活动与裂谷作用之间存在明显的耦合关系,但各期岩浆活动对各裂谷盆地的影响程度存在差异。     

扬子东南缘新元古代地质演化

华南陆块在新元古时期经历了复杂的地质演化过程,其中以江南褶皱带的形成和南华盆地的裂解为标志。江南褶皱带是一套浅变质强变形的新元古代早-中期沉积-火山岩组合,之后经历了820Ma酸性岩浆岩侵入。新元古代晚期地层沉积在南华盆地中,以不整合上覆于江南褶皱带和过铝质花岗岩。过去几十年,科学家们对这一系列地质过程提出了多种演化模型,如地幔柱模型,裂解模型和岛弧模型。笔者通过该区沉积岩和岩浆岩的详细研究,结合已有模式,建立了全新的演化模型——俯冲-弧后伸展模型,该模型认为:扬子东南缘新元古代俯冲作用开始于850Ma左右,四堡群及其相应地层为弧前盆地沉积;扬子与华夏板块的拼接发生在830Ma左右;扬子西北缘持续的俯冲作用引发弧后拉张,导致了南华盆地的形成和大规模花岗质岩石侵位。     

扬子西北缘碧口微地块南华系碎屑锆石物源示踪及其地质意义

扬子板块西北缘碧口微地块华严寺地区碧口群之上发育一套含砾沉积地层,其确切沉积时限对研究该区域的沉积—构造演化具有重要意义。本文对该套地层中的2件砂岩样品进行了碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb测年分析,结果显示,锆石晶型较好,无色透明,磨圆度较差,具典型岩浆生长振荡环带和韵律结构,Th/U比值为0.28～3.6,锆石U-Pb年龄介于706～2 489Ma之间。存在3个主要的年龄组：新元古代年龄组（706～951 Ma）,占92.9%,显著峰值为850 Ma和843 Ma;中元古代年龄组（1 017～1 080 Ma）,占2.6%;古元古代年龄组（1 628～2 489 Ma）,占4.5%。最小年龄组为706～715 Ma（峰值为711 Ma）,结合区域地质和研究资料,华严寺地区沉积地层时代应属于南华纪,沉积时限约为720～635 Ma,物源区主要包括扬子板块西北缘碧口微地块以及南东侧的后龙门山构造带和汉南—米仓山微地块。新元古代晚期碧口微地块及扬子板块西北缘后碰撞—裂解阶段,华严寺地区南华纪沉积为碧口微地块及邻区新元古代岩浆岩在边缘裂谷环境中快速堆积形成。     

Sedimentary Facies,Provenance and Geochronology of the Heshangzhen Group: Implications for the Tectonic Evolution of the Eastern Jiangnan Orogen,South China

The Neoproterozoic Jiangnan orogen plays an important role in the study of the Precambrian tectonic evolution of South China. The tectonic nature of the Neoproterozoic sedimentary basins is still controversial, due to poor understanding of the sedimentary sequences and the lack of geochronological data. Here, we present sedimentological, provenance and geochronological data from the Heshangzhen Group in the eastern Jiangnan orogen. Sedimentological analysis shows that the Luojiamen Formation was deposited in a submarine fan, and the overlying Hongchicun Formation was deposited in front of a fan delta. The youngest detrital zircons constrain the lower Luojiamen and Hongchicun formations with ages of 827.3 ± 8.4 Ma and 825 ± 12 Ma, respectively. The sandstones of the Luojiamen Formation are characterized by a large number of intermediate to felsic volcanic grains, suggesting a volcanic arc source. In contrast, quartz and sedimentary lithic grains increase in the Hongchicun Formation, showing a new input from a collisional orogenic source. Detrital zircon from six sandstone samples in the Luojiamen and Hongchicun formations yield similar age spectra of 930–820 Ma with a peak at ca. 845–860 Ma, with one main cluster at 930–820 Ma. Detrital zircons of 930–845 Ma show a positive value of εHf(t)(+2.4 to +11, mean +7.6), which is similar to the volcanic arc of the nearby Shuangxiwu Group. There are a minor group of zircons with U-Pb ages ranging from 820 Ma to 845 Ma from the middle part of the Luojiamen Formation and Hongchicun Formation, with εHf(t) values between-20 to +2.4, which are consistent with the characteristics of the Shuangqiaoshan Group. within light of the bidirectional paleocurrents in the Luojiamen Formation, it is speculated that the zircons of 820–845 Ma were recycled from the Shuangqiaoshan Group, which is derived from a continental arc to the northwest. Our data suggests that the Luojiamen Formation was formed in an inter-arc basin, while the Hongchicun Formation was formed in an accretionary wedge-top basin. When juxtaposed with the conglomeratic characteristics at the bottom of the Luojiamen Formation, it is believed that the unconformity represented by the ‘Shen Gong Movement' reflects the rapid erosion and accumulation process of island arc volcanic material. The disconformity between the Luojiamen and Hongchicun formations is the imprint of transition from inter-arc basin to accretionary wedge-top basin,which represents the collision between the Shuangxiwu arc and the Yangtze Plate.     

华南新元古代裂谷系沉积超覆作用及其开启年龄新证据

黔东南1∶5万高武幅、宰便幅区域地质调查结果表明,新元古界下江群是一套沉积超覆于中元古界四堡群之上的裂谷系楔状地层,其底部甲路组沉积底砾岩高角度(不整合)沉积超覆于四堡群复理石浊积岩之上,或沉积超覆于侵入四堡群之中的摩天岭花岗岩之上。取自该地区沉积超覆面之下摩天岭花岗岩样品的TIMS锆石U-Pb同位素年龄为825.0±2.4Ma,表明该地区新元古代裂谷系开始接受沉积的时间应该晚于825±2.4Ma;而取自沉积超覆面之上甲路组底部同沉积基性火山岩样品的TIMS锆石U-Pb同位素年龄为814±13Ma,这一年龄大致代表了该地区新元古代沉积超覆的开启时间,且与目前已获得的华南其它地区新元古代裂谷系沉积超覆的开启时间(820Ma)十分接近。本项研究成果支持华南裂谷系沉积超覆的开启时间为820Ma左右的观点。     

New U-Pb age constraints on the upper Banxi Group and synchrony of the Sturtian glaciation in South China

The Nanhua basin in South China hosts well-preserved middle–late Neoproterozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks that are critical for studying the basin evolution, the breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia, the nature and dynamics of the “snowball” Earth and diversification of metazoans. Establishing a stratigraphic framework is crucial for better understanding the interactions between tectonic, paleoclimatic and biotic events recorded in the Nanhua basin, but existing stratigraphic correlations remain debated, particularly for pre-Ediacaran strata. Here we report new Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) U-Pb zircon ages from the middle and topmost Wuqiangxi Formation (the upper stratigraphic unit of the Banxi Group) in Siduping, Hunan Province, South China. Two samples show similar age distribution, with two major peaks at ca. 820 Ma and 780 Ma and one minor peak at ca. 910 Ma, suggesting that the Wuqiangxi sandstone was mainly sourced from Neoproterozoic rocks. Two major age peaks correspond to two phases of magmatic events associated with the rifting of the Nanhua basin, and the minor peak at ca. 910 Ma may correspond to the Shuangxiwu volcanic arc magmatism, which represents pre-collision/amalgamation subduction on the southeastern margin of the Yangtze Block. The youngest zircon group from the topmost Wuqiangxi Formation has a weighted mean age of 714.6 ± 5.2 Ma, which is likely close to the depositional age of the uppermost Banxi Group. This age, along with the ages reported from other sections, constrains that the Banxi Group was deposited between ca. 820 Ma and ca. 715 Ma. The age of 714.6 ± 5.2 Ma from the top of the Wuqiangxi Formation is indistinguishable with the SIMS U-Pb age of 715.9 ± 2.8 Ma from the upper Gongdong Formation in the Sibao village section of northern Guangxi, South China. It is also, within uncertainties, overlapped with two TIMS U-Pb ages from pre-Sturtian strata in Oman and Canada. These ages indicate that the Jiangkou (Sturtian) glaciation in South China started at ca. 715 Ma instead of ca. 780 Ma and support a globally synchronous initiation of the Sturtian glaciation at ca. 715 Ma.     

扬子西缘新元古代裂谷盆地演化的年代学新证据及其意义

扬子西缘康滇裂谷是华南新元古代裂谷系的主要组成部分,对理解华南新元古代裂谷盆地演化与Rodinia超大陆裂解的响应关系具有重要意义。澄江组是康滇裂谷最为典型的沉积充填序列,其时代的准确限定是解析Rodinia超大陆裂解背景下盆地演化的重要前提。本文对滇东北巧家谓姑地区澄江组火山岩开展了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素年代学分析,获得澄江组底部玄武岩年龄806.4±6.7 Ma和下部凝灰岩年龄788.4±5.9 Ma。结合已有年龄数据,将澄江组沉积时代准确限定为800～720 Ma,与开建桥组及陆良组上部为同期异相产物。康滇裂谷的三个次级盆地演化基本同步,均于800 Ma左右开始全面接受沉积,是Rodinia超大陆的裂解的响应。     

Qingbaikouan and Crygenian in South China: Constraints by SHRIMP Zircon U-Pb dating

The Qingbaikouan System is the lowest unit of the Neoproterozoic Erathem in Chinese stratigraphic succession,and it now provides a precise geochronological framework and geological time scale for mapping and stratal correlation in China.However,a sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe （SHRIMP） U-Pb zircon age date （1368±12 Ma） obtained from a bentonite in the Qingbaikouan Xiamaling Formation indicates that it belongs to the Mesoproterozoic Erathem instead.This change is a milestone in understanding the Precambrian Stratigraphic Time Scale in China,and it has had great influence on Precambrian correlations in Asia.Otherwise,a large amount of geochronological work has been done in the ＂Jiangnan Orogen Belt＂ of South China,and new isotopic data have redefined the traditional recognition of metamorphosed Mesoproterozoic strata from the Sibao orogeny to the Neoproterozoic Erathem.Based on SHRIMP zircon U-Pb age data,the authors regard the Sibao orogeny （equal to the Wuling orogeny） as a movement at ca 820 Ma,meaning that the Sibao orogeny was not equivalent to the Grenvillian orogeny.Finally,we report here the first SHRIMP U-Pb age of the boundary between the top of the Qingbaikouan Gongdong Formation （786.8±5.6 Ma） and the bottom of the Chang＇an （diamictite） Formation （778.4±5.2 Ma）,which is the age of the lowest diamictite of the Nanhuan System in China.     

Time constraints on the closure of the Paleo–South China Ocean and the Neoproterozoic assembly of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks: Insight from new detrital zircon analyses

The South China Block was built up by the assembly of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks along the Neoproterozoic Jiangnan Orogenic Belt. The timing of the Jiangnan Orogeny remains controversial. The widespread orogeny–related Neoproterozoic angular unconformity that separates the underlying folded Sibao (ca.1000–820 Ma) and overlying Danzhou (ca.800–720 Ma) Groups was investigated. Six sedimentary samples, below and above the unconformity in three distal localities (Fanjingshan, Madiyi, and Sibao) yield detrital zircon with UPb ages ranging from 779 ± 16 Ma to 3006 ± 36 Ma, with a prominent peak at ca. 852 Ma. The youngest ages of 832 ± 11 Ma and 779 ± 16 Ma are revealed for the underlying Sibao and overlying Danzhou Groups, respectively. The detrital zircon UPb age relative probability plot of the Jiangnan Orogen matches well with those of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks since ca. 865 Ma. Integrating geological, geochemical and geochronological results, we suggest that the Paleo–South China Ocean began to subduct under the Yangtze block at ca. 1000 Ma, and was partly closed at ca. 865 Ma. Afterwards, the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks initially collide at 865 Ma, forming the Jiangnan Orogen. This collision resulted in not only the folding of the Sibao Group, but also sediment deposition in a syn-collisional setting, which makes the upper part of the Sibao Group. The youngest S-type granite dated at ca. 820 Ma that intruded in the Sibao Group marks the late stage of the Jiangnan Orogeny.     

长江三峡黄陵花岗岩与莲沱组凝灰岩的锆石SHRIMPU—Pb年龄及其构造地层意义

华南古陆普遍发育新元古代花岗岩,其时代、成因及其对华南新元古代的构造演化具有标识意义。该类型的花岗岩与华南克拉通的破坏及雪球事件的启动相关,其年代学研究一直备受关注,高质量的锆石SHRIMPU—Pb定年是确定其相互关系的基础。黄陵花岗岩体中的岩浆锆石的SHRIMPU—Pb加权平均年龄为837Ma±7Ma,另获得莲沱组顶部层凝灰岩较年轻的一组岩浆锆石SHRIMPU—Pb加权平均年龄724Ma±12Ma。前者表明黄陵花岗岩与桂北的三防、元宝山和云南的峨山花岗岩体侵位的时间相同,后者确定了莲沱组顶界的时代。这为确定南华系的年代地层学框架提供了重要的科学依据。     

扬子东南缘两界河组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄及其对Sturtian冰川作用的启示

扬子东南缘两界河组的岩性以岩屑砂岩和石英砂岩为主,代表了长安冰期和古城冰期之间的间冰期沉积,其沉积时限的厘定对认识华南Sturtian冰期地层的时空分布特征具有重要意义.对黔东地区两界河组碎屑锆石进行了系统的形态学和U-Pb年代学研究,大多数锆石为典型的岩浆锆石,锆石U-Pb年龄主要分布于740~900 Ma,另有少量古元古代和太古宙年龄,主要峰值为~760 Ma、~780 Ma、~800 Ma、~820 Ma和880~900 Ma.在两界河组底部获得最年轻的单颗粒锆石年龄为708±15 Ma,在上部获得最年轻的单颗粒锆石年龄为703±22 Ma,结合区域上相当地层渫水河组的顶部年龄（~690 Ma）,认为黔东地区两界河组的沉积时代应在708~690 Ma之间.两界河组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱记录了扬子陆块新元古代幕式岩浆事件及早期地壳演化的信息,结合锆石形态认为其物质来源可能包括下伏新元古代岩浆岩及沉积地层、扬子西北缘和西南缘的基底岩石.研究区两界河组底部碎屑锆石年龄约束了江口间冰期沉积晚于~708 Ma,考虑到南华纪早期地层分布在一定程度上受控于盆地构造活动,不排除长安冰期沉积物在黔东地区局部存在的可能性.      

华南成冰纪“大塘坡式”锰矿沉积成矿作用与重大地质事件的耦合关系*

华南地区成冰系大塘坡组锰矿近年来在找矿勘探方面取得了突破性进展,同时,由于该套锰矿在时空分布及成矿背景上的特殊性,长期以来都受到研究者关注,累积了大量研究成果。在系统性总结大塘坡组锰矿研究成果的基础上,结合新元古代全球大地构造、古气候演变、古海洋环境变化及微生物演化等重大地质事件的最新研究进展,综合分析了华南成冰纪大规模锰沉积成矿作用与这些重大地质事件之间的联系。从新元古代中期开始,罗迪尼亚(Rodinia)超大陆的裂解在全球范围内形成了广泛分布的裂谷盆地系统,以中国南方南华盆地为代表的成锰盆地即是在裂谷盆地基础上发展而来的。裂谷盆地系统为锰矿沉积提供了必须的容矿空间,决定了其展布规律,并且盆地底部的热液系统为锰质输入盆地提供了必要途径。新元古代冰期(“雪球地球”)事件中覆盖全球的冰川系统切断或阻碍了地球各子圈层的物质与能量交换,可能导致冰期海洋缺氧状态的广泛出现。而冰期—间冰期的古气候变化使冰盖消失,海—气循环与海水圈层循环重新启动,随之而来的是古海水氧化还原条件的改变。针对南华盆地而言,表层海水的氧化及可能存在的含氧底流为锰矿沉淀提供了所需的氧化环境。此外,新近的证据表明间冰期微生物复苏背景下的锰微生物成矿作用可能是锰矿形成的重要机制。以上这些重大地质事件之间具有复杂的相互联系,同时它们也为“大塘坡式”锰矿沉积成矿作用提供了必不可少的成矿控制条件。因此, 华南成冰纪“大塘坡式”锰矿沉积成矿作用与新元古代重大地质事件间存在耦合关系。
