米钵山组复理石中的内潮汐沉积

贺兰拗拉谷米钵山组复理石由具有递变层理、双向交错层理、单向交错层理、复杂多向交错层理、飘逸层理和波痕构造的韵律性砂岩、粉砂岩、泥岩薄互层组成。根据双向沉积构造等典型物性特征识别出5种内潮汐沉积微相,即飘逸层理砂泥岩韵律性薄互层微相,单向交错层和交错纹理砂岩粉砂岩微相,双向交错纹理和羽状交错纹理砂岩粉砂岩微相。结果表明：研究区复理石为深水牵引流（内波、内潮汐）、重力流以及原地沉积复合成因;经典的鲍玛序列是有待商榷的;重力流与牵引流存在流态转化。     

浙江桐庐上奥陶统堰口组岩石特征及沉积环境分析

浙江桐庐地区上奥陶统堰口组主要为一套灰色细砂岩、粉砂岩与深灰色-灰黑色泥岩、粉砂质泥岩的韵律性薄互层, 底部发育2～3层灰色中-厚层的砾岩, 其砂泥岩薄互层中发育有典型的脉状、波状和透镜状层理及韵律层理。这种砾岩过去一直被认为是底砾岩, 其上的砂泥岩韵律性薄互层被认为是典型的古代潮坪沉积。野外调查并结合区域地质资料分析结果表明, 堰口组沉积环境应为较深水斜坡环境,而非浅水海岸环境;其底部的砾岩应为富基质的碎屑流沉积,而不应是底砾岩;中上部的砂泥岩韵律性薄互层应为较深水斜坡上的内潮汐沉积,而不是浅水潮坪沉积。这一内潮汐沉积具有典型的对偶层双向递变层序, 可能为内潮汐的大潮和小潮周期性变化的结果,这是在中国首次识别出的古代内潮汐沉积。

宁夏中奥陶统香山群徐家圈组内波和内潮汐沉积*

宁夏中奥陶统香山群为一套遭受轻微区域变质的陆源碎屑岩,并夹有少量碳酸盐岩和硅质岩,主要为深水浊流沉积。其中,徐家圈组主要由灰绿色、黄绿色轻变质细砂岩、钙质砂岩及粉砂岩和页岩组成,顶部发育有薄层石灰岩。在该组的中—薄层钙质粉—细砂岩、细粉屑质石灰岩和粉砂质页岩中发现了双向交错层理及纹层倾向与区域斜坡倾向相反或有较大夹角的单向交错层理,其中双向交错层理形态丰富、纹层清晰,其纹层倾向有沿斜坡向上的,有沿斜坡向下的。在深水环境中,这些交错层理不应是等深流沉积或浊流沉积的产物,而应为内波产生的沿斜坡上下水流交替流动所形成的。从沉积背景、沉积构造和古水流等方面对徐家圈组的内波、内潮汐沉积进行了详细的研究,认为其形成于水道不发育的深水斜坡环境,并对斜坡环境中内波、内潮汐沉积中不发育脉状、波状和透镜状层理的现象进行了解释。

贺兰山地区中奥陶统樱桃沟组深水牵引流沉积的发现及其意义

鄂尔多斯盆地西缘贺兰山地区的中奧陶统樱桃沟组发育一套夹有碳酸盐滑塌重力流沉积的陆源碎屑浊积岩,研究程度颇高。笔者在野外调查过程中于樱桃沟组浊流沉积体发育的环境中发现了相当数量的交错层理,如大型交错层理,板状交错层理,波状、脉状、透镜状层理和波痕等,曾一度被前人解释为浅水沉积环境的识别标志。本文结合当时的古地理背景、沉积环境和区域构造演化特征,通过对樱桃沟组野外露头的详细描述和岩石特征的精细刻画以及对该组沉积序列的详细分析,认为上述疑似浅水沉积环境的交错层理实为底流(深水牵引流)对浊流改造的结果,并分别形成了内波、内潮汐沉积和等深流沉积,这在研究区为首次发现。据此将其归纳为7种岩石类型:(1)双向交错层理粉砂岩;(2)束状透镜体叠加的交错纹理粉砂岩;(3)具波状层理粉砂岩;(4)单向交错层理砂岩;(5)水流波痕细砂岩;(6)平行层理细-中砂岩;(7)大型交错层理细砂岩。其中,前5种岩石类型为内波、内潮汐沉积,后两种为等深流沉积。研究表明樱桃沟组为深水牵引流沉积(内波、内潮汐沉积、等深流沉积)、重力流沉积(碳酸盐滑塌角砾岩、浊积岩)和原地沉积的复合沉积,并建立了该区水道型内波、内潮汐沉积模式。     

柴西咸水泉地区下油砂山组湖相沉积特征——以咸东1井取心段为例

【目的】勘探实践表明,柴达木盆地剩余油主要集中于西部地区,但受复杂地表及低渗储层的影响,勘探程度相对较低。为提高柴西咸水泉地区地质认识,可进一步加快油气勘探。【方法】基于岩心沉积构造,结合岩石薄片、X衍射全岩分析化验和地震反射等资料,对咸东1井上新统下油砂山组取心段的沉积相进行综合研究。【结果与结论】（1）深灰—灰黑色灰质泥页岩中夹有灰色薄—中层块状层理细杂砂岩,砂体顶、底部与泥岩突变接触,底界面为明显凸凹不平的侵蚀面,侵蚀面之下的泥页岩中变形层理发育,砂体为沉积物再搬运的砂质碎屑流沉积;（2）深灰—灰黑色灰质泥页岩中夹有含介壳—陆源碎屑的砾屑灰岩和具明显变形层理的粉砂岩及粉砂质团块,其变形纹层清晰且具明显的变形方向,为滑塌碎屑沉积;（3）深灰—灰黑色灰质泥页岩主要夹有薄层灰色含云灰黏土质粉砂岩,泥页岩中发育水平层理及韵律层理等,粉砂岩中发育较多泥质纹层的小型单斜层理、上攀波痕纹理及厚互层层理,为半深—深湖沉积夹由沉积物重力流末期演变的较弱底流沉积。此外,盆地发育的不同时期在阿尔金山前较深水区可能具备发育类似咸东1井滑塌—沉积物重力流沉积储层的条件,尚需进一步研究。     

塔河油田南部石炭系卡拉沙依组沉积相研究

综合应用沉积学、古生物学、地球化学等多学科理论,通过岩心观察描述,结合测井、录井、古生物、地球化学等资料综合分析认为:塔河油田南部石炭系卡拉沙依组上部砂泥岩段砂岩中发育羽状交错层理、波状层理、透镜状层理,砂泥岩薄互层,低砂地比,半咸水生物或广盐度生物大量发育,反映了一种潮坪环境;平面上,研究区北部偏粗、含砾,反映存在河流注入,为具有河口湾性质的潮坪沉积体系,卡拉沙依组砂泥岩段主要处于潮间带,发育潮道、砂坪、砂泥混合坪、泥坪、河口坝等微相。下部的上泥岩段为深灰色、灰褐色、棕褐色泥岩,偶夹薄层泥质粉砂岩、灰质泥岩条带,发育平行层理,为泻湖相沉积。     

石门杨家坪下寒武统杷榔组三段内波和内潮汐沉积研究

湖南石门杨家坪下寒武统杷榔组第三段主要为一套深灰色、灰绿色页状至薄层含粉砂水云母泥(页)岩与泥质粉砂岩夹透镜状、条带状粉砂岩，其沉积环境为斜坡环境。中上部透镜状、条带状粉砂岩中交错层理极为发育，纹层倾向既有沿斜坡向上和向下双向倾斜的，也有沿斜坡向下或沿斜坡向上单向倾斜的，它们不应是等深流沉积或浊流沉积，而应为内波、内潮汐产生的沿斜坡上下交替流动所形成的。笔者对寒武系内波、内潮汐沉积做了首次研究。     

宁夏香山群徐家圈组基本沉积单元

报道了宁夏香山群徐家圈组基本组成单元,即由细砂岩－粉砂岩－页岩构成的沉积序列,并将该沉积序列划分为密度流沉积层（Ⅰ）、牵引流沉积层（Ⅱ）和悬浮沉积层（Ⅲ）,进而探讨其成因。结果表明：①层Ⅰ主要由细砂岩和粉砂－细砂岩组成,且在不同厚度层之间无明显的粒度分异;②徐家圈组岩性系列中明显缺失细砂质粉砂岩,而这种缺失正好构成了层Ⅰ和层Ⅱ之间的粒度中断;③层Ⅱ发育两组交错层理,第一组是平行层理、准平行层理、复合流层理和小型丘状交错层理,第二组是单向交错层理、双向交错层理和平行层理;④层Ⅲ中的薄层泥晶石灰岩具有不平整的底面并在侧向上呈现出长的透镜状。结合相关的浊流沉积研究成果,综合分析上述结果,可得出以下结论：①层Ⅰ可能为具有高悬浮负载降落速率的高密度衰减流沉积形成;②层Ⅱ可能受内波、内潮汐作用的控制;③层Ⅲ可能以深海、半深海垂直降落沉积为主,并辅以缓慢的平流;④沉积时的浊流可能具有双层结构。     

浙江桐庐晚奥陶世内潮汐沉积

本文论述了在中国首次发现的内潮汐沉积的特征及其形成环境。该内潮汐沉积发现于浙江省桐庐县桐君山地区上奥陶统上部,具有典型的对偶层双向递交层序。据其岩类组合和层序特征,可将其定为韵律性砂泥岩薄互层相。其中发育有特征的脉状、波状和透镜状层理。其沉积特征表明形成于开阔的深水斜坡环境,这种对偶层双向递交层序可能为内潮汐的大潮和小潮周期性变化的结果。     

美国阿巴拉契亚山脉芬卡苏地区奥陶纪海底水道中的内潮汐沉积

本文论述了在世界范围内首次鉴别出的新的沉积类型--内潮汐沉积,发现于美国弗吉尼亚州芬卡苏地区奥陶纪深水海底水道充填沉积中。已识别出两种相:①双向交错纹理极细砂岩相,以发育分别向古水道上方和下方倾斜的双向交错纹理为特征,被归因于内潮汐作用沉积的产物。②单向交错层和交错纹理中至细砂岩相,发育向古水道上方倾斜的低角度板状交错层和交错纹理,被解释为叠加有内波的内潮汐沉积物。据沉积相层序分析,内潮汐沉积形成于海平面上升、粗屑重力流受到抑制的时期。     

湖南邵阳地区茅口期晚期重力流沉积的发现及意义*

湖南邵阳市邵阳大道两侧出露的龙潭组下段(中二叠世茅口期晚期)发育一套地质特征典型、沉积序列明显的重力流沉积。重力流沉积以块状砂岩、粉砂岩及泥岩互层为主,砂岩底面发育有重荷模、槽模、工具痕及冲刷充填构造,砂岩内部有块状层理、平行层理、包卷层理及粒序层理,互层的泥岩中见类似于古网迹的痕迹化石。可识别出砂质碎屑流、浊流与滑塌沉积。剖面下部含泥砾块状砂岩发育,剖面中上部以发育薄到中厚层砂岩、粉砂岩与泥岩互层为特点。根据重力流沉积物特征及其垂向序列特征,建立了重力流沉积模式,将海底扇划分出内扇、中扇与外扇。通过与附近的短陂桥矿区的龙潭组下段沉积特征进行对比研究,结合华南地区岩相古地理特征,认为位于华南盆地范围的邵阳地区,在中二叠世茅口期晚期(龙潭组下段)发育的重力流沉积,可能意味着华南盆地在扬子陆块和华夏陆块之间的深大断裂在中二叠世末期曾经发生拉张,形成裂谷盆地。     

The Silurian rocks of the Tortworth Inlier,Gloucestershire

The Silurian succession in the Tortworth Inlier includes strata belonging to the three main divisions of the System. The Upper Llandovery, which rests unconformably on Tremadoc beds, consists of about 700 ft. (213 m.) of fine-grained sandstones, mudstones and shales with two igneous bands. The Wenlock Series is represented by some 800 ft. (244 m.) of mudstones, siltstones and calcareous sandstones with impersistent limestone bands at various horizons. The Ludlow succession is incomplete, but at least 300 ft. (91 m.) of mudstones, siltstones and fine-grained sandstones are present, and they pass up conformably into the Downtonian.     

The enigma of fine-grained alluvial basin fills: the Permo-Triassic (Cumbrian Coastal and Sherwood Sandstone Groups) of the Solway Basin,NW England and SW Scotland)

The late Permian to Triassic sediments of the Solway Basin consist of a layer-cake succession of mature, predominantly fine-grained red clastics laid down in semi-arid alluvial plain to arid sabkha and saline marginal marine or lacustrine environments. The Cumbrian Coastal Group consists of Basal Clastics and Eden Shales. The Basal Clastics are thin regolith deposits resting unconformably on all-underlying units and are composed of mixtures of angular local gravel and far-transported fine to very fine-grained sands deposited as basal lag. The Eden Shales are predominantly gypsiferous red silty mudstones, with thin very fine-grained sandstone beds, and with thick marine gypsum beds at the base, deposited at a saline lake margin. The overlying Triassic Sherwood Sandstone Group consists of the Annan and Kirklinton Sandstones. The Annan Sandstones are predominantly thick-bedded, multi-storied, fine-grained mature red quartz sandstones in which coarse sand is practically absent despite channels with clay pebbles up to 30 cm in diameter. The overlying, predominantly aeolian, Kirklinton Sandstones consist of festoon cross-bedded and parallel-laminated fine-grained sandstones, almost identical to the Annan Sandstones except that mica and clay are absent. The Stanwix Shales, located above, consist of interbedded red, blue and green mudstones, siltstones, and thin very fine-grained sandstones, with gypsum layers. Although the entire succession can plausibly be interpreted as deposited in a large desert basin opening into a hypersaline marine or lacustrine embayment to the southwest, the uniformly fine-grained nature of the succession is unusual, as is the absence of paleosols, and body and trace fossils. There is almost no coarse sand even in the river channel units, and it seems likely that the basin was not only extremely arid but supplied predominantly by wind rather than water.     

塔中地区中晚奥陶世内波、内潮汐沉积

现代海底普遍发育由内波、内潮汐引起的深水牵引流,内波、内潮汐不仅可形成各种厘米级的深水牵引流沉积构造,还可建造千米级的大型沉积物波。这种大型沉积物波既可沿斜坡向下迁移,也可沿斜坡向上迁移。在古代地层记录中已发现各种厘米级的内波、内潮汐沉积单元,但尚未发现内波成因的大型沉积物波。塔中地区中上奥陶统碎屑岩段内发育内波及内潮汐形成的各种牵引流沉积构造单元。通过详细的岩心观察,识别出 4种内波、内潮汐沉积微相类型及 5种基本垂向沉积层序。此外,通过地震剖面分析,在研究区中上奥陶统陆坡相中识别出顺坡向上迁移的大型沉积物波,该沉积物波的特征与现代海底发育的沉积物波的特征类似,运用内波理论可对其成因进行合理的解释。     

Sedimentation and depositional environments of the Barremian-Cenomanian Debre Libanose Sandstone,Blue Nile (Abay) Basin,Ethiopia

Exploration of oil and gas deposits in the Blue Nile Basin targeted the Debre Libanose Sandstone as a reservoir objective. The unit was deposited in broad alluvial plains, and shows some elements of the Platte type braided river sedimentation in the lower and middle succession. The braided river sedimentation is dominated by single storey and multistorey amalgamated sandstone bodies, and is characterized by high- and low-flow regime sedimentation.The upper part of the unit is characterized by well-developed cyclicity, fining-upward trend, lateral accretion surfaces, flood-plain sediments, point bar deposits, and calcrete are consistent with of meandering river sedimentation. The siltstones, mudstones, and shales were developed from suspension-dominated waning flood water. The presence of black mudstones and black shales in the uppermost part of the unit possibly indicate lacustrine environments.The unit has a complex diagenetic history and is cemented dominantly by silica, calcite, kaolinite, and hematite. The maximum porosity and permeability reaches up to 22.2% and 809 mD, respectively. The fine- to medium-grained sandstones are potential oil and gas reservoirs. The low-permeability siltstones and mudstones are possible gas reservoirs.     

Depositional facies of the subsurface Neogene Surma Group in the Sylhet Trough of the Bengal Basin,Bangladesh: record of tidal sedimentation

The Bengal Basin, in the north-eastern part of the Indian subcontinent, contains a thick (± 22 km) early Cretaceous-Holocene sedimentary succession. The Neogene succession in the Sylhet Trough of the basin reaches a thickness of more than 6 km of which the Surma Group contains important sandstone reservoirs. Lithologically, the group consists of a succession of alternating shales, siltstones, sandy shales and sandstones, with minor conglomerates. This research work is a sedimentological analysis of the subsurface Neogene succession encountered in the petroleum exploration wells in the Sylhet Trough of the Bengal Basin. Detailed lithologic logs of the cores, based on considering texture and sedimentary structure, permit a subdivision into eight lithofacies, e.g., a shale-dominated facies, interbedded fine sandstones and mudstones, ripple-laminated sandstones, parallel-laminated sandstones, massive sandstones, cross-bedded sandstones, cross-bedded sandstones with pebble/granule lag and conglomerates. Characteristic sedimentary structures of the Surma Group, such as flaser-, wavy- and lenticular-bedding, bipolarity of ripple cross-stratification, evenly laminated sand/silt-streaked shales, reactivation surfaces within cross-bedded sandstone sets, mud-drapes on foreset laminae and herringbone cross-stratification as well as small-scale vertical sequences (several fining-upward cycles) are diagnostic for tidal influence. On the basis of the lithofacies associations and prograding character of the deposits revealed from the electrofacies associations, the Surma Group sediments have been interpreted as representing deposits of tide-dominated deltaic depositional setting.     

川西南荥经坳陷川荥页1井奥陶系沉积相与古生物特征及地层厘定

对川西南荥经坳陷内三口页岩气井尤其是川荥页1井奥陶系开展了系统的岩心观察和分析。三口钻井在梁山组之下均发育十余米厚的灰黑色泥岩,其中川荥页1井灰黑色泥岩厚近16m。沉积相分析认为灰黑色泥岩为浅水陆棚相,泥岩之下发育的大套砂岩为滨岸近滨亚相,总体向上海水逐渐变深。砂岩中发育丰富的沉积软变形构造及波状交错层理、浪成沙纹层理、平行层理、斜层理等构造。川荥页1井上部泥岩中见大量三叶虫、笔石和腕足等化石及其碎片,鉴定表明含有代表中下奥陶统的常见生物分子,如对笔石(Didymograotus sp.)、大洪山虫(Taihungshania sp.)等。该套砂泥岩组合在沉积相及古生物化石等方面明显区别于荥经坳陷周缘奥陶系五峰组—志留系龙马溪组,与研究区及邻区中下奥陶统红石崖组、湄潭组、大湾组、大官山组中段等层位相当。
