侏罗系、白垩系界线问题及对中国北方陆相界线的思考

侏罗系、白垩系间是显生宙唯一还没有定义系级GSSP的界线。生物演替在Thithonian期与Berriasian期之间不存在明显变化,很难找到可以进行全球对比的标志。作为中生代生物年代地层学主要划分依据的菊石类生物,亦受生物区系影响而难作为侏罗系、白垩系界线的标志。微体化石具有优势。近期,国际上趋于将瓮虫类Calpionella alpina带之底、钙质超微化石Nannoconus steinmannii minor和N.kamptneri minor二者的始现面作为侏罗系、白垩系界线,对应于极性带M19n.2n内部,年龄为145 Ma。国际地层划分与对比以海相为标准。中国侏罗系、白垩系以陆相地层发育为特征,与海相对比颇具难度。以陆相生物为标志的界线划分产生了地区性的生物年代地层格架,也形成了地方生物地层与国际年代地层对比的错位,导致中国陆相侏罗系、白垩系界线成为地学界争议的问题。本文认为,在综合考虑不同学科研究结果的同时,问题解决的实质是客观认识陆相生物对比的缺陷,结合考虑非生物的标准,如磁性地层、旋回地层和同位素测年的精度,获得超越相区的对比结果。基于陆相生物特点,着眼于宏观演化阶段来识别界线位置是问题解决的初期阶段。燕辽生物群与热河生物群是代表侏罗纪和白垩纪的两大生物演化类群,其间年龄可为土城子组顶部的139 Ma。这是为全方位研究而铺设的临时工作界线。今后将土城子组作为侏罗纪、白垩纪过渡地层而加大研究力度,有可能在该组顶部或其内部发现界线生物标志和同层位绝对年龄值,或许会使其向目前国际推荐年龄(145 Ma)更靠近一步;也不排除GSSP未定的国际侏罗系、白垩系界线年龄会向年轻方向变化,趋于139 Ma的Valanginian阶底界位置。     

四川盆地陆相侏罗系白垩系界线问题探讨

侏罗系/白垩系界线是国际地层年表中少有几个未定全球界线层型（GSSP）之一。传统上依据菊石类生物将Berriasian阶底界定义为白垩系的底界。国际上西北太平洋Shatsky Rise的Berriasian阶最底部玄武岩岩床的同位素年代学年龄为145 Ma,从而为侏罗系/白垩系界线提供了最接近的年龄估计值。在国际上,地层对比划分大都根据海相地层,中国广泛发育的陆相侏罗系/白垩系,难以与国际标准地层对比。中国四川盆地以陆相生物为标志的界线划分与国际年代地层对比困难,导致对四川盆地陆相侏罗系/白垩系界线问题的认识长期未有更新。根据陆相生物对比结果的同时,结合考虑同位素测年、磁性地层和旋回地层,有望获得良好的效果。基于同位素测年数据和陆相生物对比分析,在遂宁组中发现了最年轻的~120 Ma的碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄,而且该套地层与国际对比的核心证据介形类的研究也有新的发现,表明遂宁组有可能属于白垩系而非原认为的侏罗系。将沙溪庙组和遂宁组作为侏罗系/白垩系过渡地层系统研究,有可能在该套地层内部发现界线标志。

During the last decades, several integrated studies of Tethyan Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary sections from different countries were published with the objective to indicate problems for the selection of biological, chemical or physical markers suitable for identification of the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary e the only system boundary within the Phanerozoic still not fixed by GSSP. Drawing the boundary between the Jurassic and Cretaceous systems is a matter of global scale discussions. The problem of proposing possible J/K boundary stratotypes results from lack of a global index fossils, global sea level drop, paleogeographic changes causing development of isolated facies areas, as well as from the effect of Late Cimmerian Orogeny. This contribution summarizes and comments data on J/K boundary interval obtained from several important Tethyan sections and shows still existing problems and discrepancies in its determination.     

松辽盆地及周缘地区侏罗系/白垩系界线区域对比特征探讨

松辽盆地及周缘地区是白垩纪时期全球最大的陆地出露区,是开展陆相J/K界线研究的理想地区。但是,受制于盆内埋深大、盆缘露头出露不佳等原因,松辽盆地及周缘地区J/K界线发育区域及层段仍然存在较大争议。同时,对于陆相J/K界线划分与对比这样的重大疑难问题,其研究很难一步到位。总结一套影响广泛、区域对比性强的J/K界线区域对比框架性特征,可以有效聚焦目标区域和层段,为进一步的精细研究明确方向。系统梳理松辽盆地及周缘典型地区J/K界线上下地层中记录的区域构造背景、岩浆事件和生物宏观演化阶段可发现:(1)松辽盆地以西和以南地区晚侏罗世为块体碰撞后陆壳加厚坍塌或拆沉的伸展环境,早白垩世为推覆陆壳加厚坍塌或拆沉的伸展环境;松辽盆地晚侏罗世为碰撞后持续造山环境,早白垩世为双侧活动陆缘影响下的区域性伸展-裂陷环境;松辽盆地以东地区晚侏罗世—早白垩世可能为走滑构造背景。(2)松辽盆地及周缘地区晚侏罗世—早白垩世生物演化阶段表现为晚侏罗世燕辽生物群的衰落和白垩纪热河生物群的兴起,其中晚侏罗世孢粉组合以裸子植物花粉占绝对优势、高Classopollis含量为特征,早白垩世则以松柏类两气囊花粉占绝对优势、低Classopollis含量为特征。(3)冀北—辽西地区的土城子组、黑龙江东部的东安镇组和东荣组应是J/K界线进一步工作的重点层段,大兴安岭地区的满克头鄂博组、松辽盆地常家围子断陷及其以西至大兴安岭局部地区可以尝试开展J/K界线研究工作。     

中国南方海、陆相白垩系研究进展

自21世纪以来,中国南方海、陆相白垩系研究有显著进展。依据我国南方大地构造环境和白垩系发育特点,将其白垩系划分为5个地层区和8个地层分区;文中在分析全球年代与生物地层研究进展的基础上,对我国南方海、陆相白垩纪年代地层划分、底界界线层型及陆相白垩系上/下统的界线作了扼要介绍,并指出我国西南特提斯区海相侏罗系/白垩系界线研究已接近国际水平。     

The Campanian-Maastrichtian stage boundary in the Aktulagai section (North Caspian depression)

Distribution of belemnites and benthic foraminifers in the Campanian-Maastrichtian boundary layers of the Aktulagai section, one of Upper Cretaceous reference sections in the east of the European paleobiogeographic region (EPR) is discussed. The base of Lanceolata Beds defined by A.D. Arkhangelsky in 1912 is well-substantiated biostratigraphic level corresponding to boundary between the Campanian and Maastrichtian stages. In spacious outcrops of Upper Cretaceous deposits in the Aktulagai Plateau (Aktyubinsk region, Kazakhstan Republic), “primitive Belemnella forms” (two rostra plates) appearing above that base distinctly replace the genus Belemnitella dominant in the Campanian. Seven successive zonal assemblages of benthic foraminifers (one plate) are established in the boundary interval. The Aktulagai reference section of Upper Cretaceous sediments can be used to trace the Campanian-Maastrichtian boundary from the eastern EPR to Boreal regions of Russia based on abundant micro-and nannofossils.     

河北地区中生代标准地层剖面侏罗系/白垩系界线——SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄标定

在全国地层委员会组织的滦平盆地中生代地层野外考察中,采集了大北沟组凝灰岩样品,其锆石年龄测定结果引发对陆相侏罗系/白垩系界线的思考。冀北滦平地区陆相侏罗系—白垩系发育,各类陆相生物化石极丰富,地层产出大量火山凝灰岩层,是通过岩石地层、生物地层、同位素测年和磁性年代地层综合研究侏罗系/白垩系界线的理想地区。根据生物地层研究,冀北滦平盆地侏罗系/白垩系界线附近的地层为大北沟组和大店子组。根据冀北—辽西地区同位素测年数据,侏罗系/白垩系界线年龄倾向于130Ma。获得榆树下标准剖面大北沟组顶部凝灰岩(斑脱岩)SHRIMP锆石U-Pb同位素年龄为129.9±1.1Ma。     

西藏江孜-浪卡子一带的侏罗-白垩纪界线地层

侏罗系/白垩系界线是显生宙所有系级界线中存在问题最多的一个。西藏南部出露有良好的侏罗-白垩纪地层,本次工作在喜马拉雅地层区的康马隆子地层分区开展了海相侏罗系/白垩系的界线研究。江孜地区的界线地层被划分为维美组和甲不拉组;浪卡子地区的甲不拉组之下发育一套含大量火山岩层的火山－沉积地层,被称为桑秀组。该地层分区的地层系统由下至上为：维美组浅灰色厚层状粗-细粒石英砂岩;桑秀组黑色页岩、安山岩和玄武岩;以及甲不拉组黑色页岩、硅质泥页岩夹砂岩和砂质灰岩。维美组中含化石稀少,仅在江孜地区发现零星菊石Haplophylloceras、Himalayites等。桑秀组下部页岩和粉砂岩中找到少量菊石化石,属于Spiticeras、Berriasella、Haplophylloceras的一些种,和富集成层的双壳类Inoceramus everesti等。江孜甲不拉组下部化石丰富,划分为Spiticeras-Berriasella下组合和Himalayaites-Haplophylloceras上组合。本研究区的生物地层可与聂拉木地区的菊石化石组合对比。通过生物地层学对比,江孜-浪卡子地区的维美组时代为晚侏罗世Tithonian期,江孜地区甲不拉组下部和浪卡子地区的桑秀组均属于下白垩统。桑秀组下部的页岩段与江孜甲不拉组的最下部地层相当,上部火山岩的同位素年龄为133 Ma。据此,桑秀组的时代为Berriasian至Hauterivian期,侏罗系/白垩系的界线位于该组之底,以Virgatosphinctes、Aulocosphinctes的消失和Spiticeras的出现为标志。侏罗纪末期西藏特提斯海区普遍形成大规模海退,表现为维美组和门卡墩组顶部砂岩的同期沉积。     

准噶尔盆地中生代演化的地层学和沉积学证据

准噶尔盆地是一个构造演化复杂、由多个含油气凹陷构成的盆地。根据盆地中生界地层发育特征、地震资料及前人研究成果,探讨了准噶尔盆地中生代的沉积特征、沉积范围、沉积中心迁移特征及断裂对沉积的控制作用,将中生代准噶尔盆地划分为三叠纪—侏罗纪断—拗盆地和白垩纪陆内坳陷盆地两个发育阶段,其中晚侏罗世—早白垩世早期可能是盆地由张性背景向挤压背景转化的重要时期。     

The Maurynya section,West Siberia: a key section of the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary deposits of shallow marine genesis

The Maurynya section exposed on the northwestern margin of West Siberia is one of few continuous sections of the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary deposits in Boreal regions. In the meantime, it can be considered a reference section for the transitional Volgian-Ryazanian beds formed in shallow water environments of the West Siberian sea basin. This study is a synthesis of the new data with previous results of lithologic, paleontological, biostratigraphic, and (O, C, Sr) isotope studies of the Upper Volgian-lowermost Ryazanian of the Maurynya section. It has been established that the beginning of the Cretaceous (corresponding to the middle Late Volgian) is associated with a sharp increase in species number and diversity of cephalopods and bivalve mollusks on the northwestern margin of the West Siberian sea basin. This can be explained by an increase in its depths and their stabilization at a level which appeared optimal for the habitat of nekton, nektobenthos, and benthic fauna communities, superimposed on the general trend of warming. At the same time, the percentage of phytoplankton significantly increased, indicating the onset of transgression, which affected largely coastal landscapes and type of vegetation: The forests dominated by conifers were gradually succeeded by forests mostly composed of Ginkgoaceae.

Palynostratigraphy of a Jurassic–Cretaceous transitional succession in the Himalayan Tethys,southern Xizang (Tibet), China

A palynological analysis of a Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous succession in the Himalayan Tethys, Gyangzê County, southern Xizang (Tibet) provides, for the first time, evidence of changing palynofloras through the Jurassic/Cretaceous (J/K) boundary. Species that are stratigraphically important and potential markers for delineating the boundary include both miospores and dinoflagellate cysts. The presence of the spores Crybelosporites sp. cf. stylosus, Foraminisporis wonthaggiensis, Jiaohepollis verus and Toroisporis welzowense and the cysts Cassiculosphaeridia delicata and Rhynchodiniopsis serrata imply that the J/K boundary is between samples 06-21-1 and 06-21-3. The occurrence of Aequitriradites spinulosus and Cicatricosisporites spp. a little below this level and of ?Dictyotosporites sp. cf. speciosus slightly above it is also significant. These results show that it is possible to locate the J/K boundary in the Himalayan Tethys near top of the Weimei Formation and the lower part of the Gyabula Formation in southern Xizang. This succession also contains various marine invertebrate fossils, including ammonites, bivalves and belemnites, and thus has considerable potential for erecting an integrated biostratigraphy around the J/K boundary in the eastern Tethyan realm. Palynofloristic correlation implies a more northerly location for the fossil locality at Gyangzê than that of northwest Australia during the latest Jurassic and earliest Cretaceous, which can be further constrained to around 43°S.     

Paleoceanographic changes at the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary in the Western Tethys, northeastern Mexico

Mexico is usually considered to have formed the western end of the Tethys during Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous times. The circumstances of the opening of the Gulf of Mexico Basin towards the Tethys and the exact stratigraphic timing, however, are not clear. Four sections covering this time interval, located in northeastern Mexico, have been measured and sampled in detail, in order to clarify their stratigraphic position during the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous time interval and the paleogeographic and oceanographic changes that accompanied this opening. Our studies include microfacies, micro- and macropaleontology, whole rock and clay-mineral x-ray diffraction and stable isotopes analyses. Our data indicate that the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary, as defined by the Lyon-Neuchâtel Colloquium of 1973, cannot be determined precisely in northeastern Mexico due to the near-absence of calpionellids and endemism of ammonite taxa. In the lower and upper Berriasian sediments, we detected Mediterranean ammonite taxa so far unknown from Mexico, corresponding to the appearance of typical calpionellid-rich facies. These faunas allow direct biostratigraphic correlation with European ammonite and calpionellid zones.We propose that a major oceanographic change occurred in the upper part of calpionellid Zone B of the Early Berriasian. At this time, sediments in northeastern Mexico present increasingly pelagic facies, a dramatic appearance of Tethyan microfossils (calpionellids) and ammonites, changes in stable isotopic values, whole rock and clay-mineral mineralogy. We suggest that these changes are due to a global sea-level rise that connected directly northeastern Mexico to the European Tethys and ended the endemic, semi-restricted and anoxic environment of the Late Jurassic La Casita and equivalent La Caja and La Pimienta Formations.     

准噶尔盆地南缘侏罗纪沉积相演化与盆地格局

通过对准噶尔盆地南缘侏罗系5条剖面的沉积特征对比,结合钻井资料和地震资料,确定了准噶尔盆地南缘侏罗纪盆地边界、沉积相演化及盆地格局。头屯河剖面和后峡剖面的沉积相对比及古流向测量表明二者在早、中侏罗世形成于同一沉积体系。在早、中侏罗世,沉积相逐渐从以辫状河-三角洲-湖泊相为主过渡到以河流相-湖泊相为主,沉积水体逐渐变浅;其中三工河组沉积时期盆地沉积范围达到最大,西山窑组沼泽相发育,车排子-莫索湾凸起自西山窑组沉积时期开始形成;早、中侏罗世的盆地边界至少位于后峡以南附近,此时不存在地理分割明显的天山山脉。晚侏罗世－早白垩世早期,沉积相从辫状河-滨浅湖相为主迅速演变为以辫状河-冲积扇相为主。在此期间盆地边界明显向北迁移,天山山脉明显隆升并造就天山南北沉积环境的巨大差异,博格达山构成盆地南缘的又一重要物源体系。     

A proposal for a new position for the Aptian/Albian boundary

The Aptian/Albian boundary, as currently placed, presents problems which have not yet been solved and possibly never will be. No detailed definition of recent years can be applied on a world-wide scale, which will be needed for any definition acceptable to the Subcommission on Cretaceous Stratigraphy. The only satisfactory and workable solution is to choose a completely new position. It is suggested that this should be at the base of the Zone of Lyelliceras lyelli. This would change the start of the Albian from appproximately 112 Ma to 109 Ma but it would be a standard which should be recognizable on all five continents.     

论石炭系与二叠系的分界

<正> 石炭系与二叠系的分界问题是国际上长期争论至今尚未解决的系间地层界线问题之一。多年来,各国学者虽致力于这条界线的研究,积累了丰富的资料,但由于下列几个原因,使各家对石炭系与二叠系界线的位置始终未能取得一致的认识。(1)石炭系源出于英国,二叠系则创名于苏联乌拉尔西坡,两地的石炭-二叠系界线地层属于不同相区,难以确切对比;(2)到目前为止,石炭-二叠系界线在理论上还没有一个确切的定义,以致各家都以自己的界线定义来确定界线的位置;(3)有些学者对一些关键性的阶如Asselian和Wolfcampian的化石带的分布情况及其对比有所误解;(4)界线地层中各门类化石的

PALAEOMAGNETIC STRATIGRAPHIC STUDIES OF THE JURASSIC AND LOWER CRETACEOUS ROCKS FROM THE QIANGTANG BASIN, NORTHERN TIBET

The Qiangtang Basin located in northern Tibet is a Jurassic foreland basin, whereas the sedimentation for the arc\|basin system during the Late Triassic. Paleomagnetic sampling sites and sections include the Lower Jurassic section in Juhuashan, Shuanhu district, the Middle and Upper Jurassic section in Nadigangri Mountain and the Lower Cretaceous section in Abushan, Shuanhu district. The Lower Jurassic Nadigangri Fm. is composed of tuffaceous volcanic rocks and turbidite (lower) and purple clastic rocks. The Middle Jurassic consists of Quemocuo Fm. purple clastics , Buqu Fm. carbonates and Xiali Fm. gypsum\|bearing varicolored clastics.The Upper Jurassic includes Suowa Fm. carbonates and Xueshan Fm. purple clastics. The Lower Cretaceous Abushan Fm. is lacustrine clastics.1723 oriented paleomagnetic samples of Jurassic and Cretaceous strata were collected in 1997.The sampling sections is located in Shuanhu district of northern Tibet. Although it is unlikely that the sections studied formed by constant and continuous deposition, field evidence indicates no major breaks in the Jurassic sedimentation, except early Bajocian stage. Based on sections of actual survey, all sampling was done using a portable gas\|powered core drill, and cores were oriented with magnetic compass and inclinometer. Samples were obtained at common stratigraphic spacing of 0 5～5m, partly 5cm at some important geological boundary\|surfaces and beds/members. 25mm diameter and 20～50mm length paleomagnetic core samples were drilled in cropping field. The measuring of most samples was completed at the China Academy of Geosciences Paleomagnetic Laboratory using a type DSM\|2 digital rotational magnetometer (its sensitivity of reaching 10 -5 A/m) made by SCHONSTEDT Company of U.S.A., and SCHONSTEDT TSD\|1 for thermal demagnetization. The apparatus used for AF demagnetization was a commercial (SCHONSTEDT GSD\|5)instrument, capable of reaching 100mT peak field. 10% of total measuring samples were completed at the Beijing Geological Institute Paleomagnetic Laboratory of China Academy of Sciences using a type 2G\|755R magnetometer made by Superconducting Technology for weak magnetized samples (sensitivity of reaching 10 -8 A/m). Most samples were stepwise thermally demagnetized, at 50℃ intervals from 100 to 700℃.     

Biotic characteristics of the Sinian-Cambrian boundary beds in China and the boundary problems

There is general agreement that the first appearance of various small shelly fossils should be used to help delineate the beginning of the Cambrian Period. The history of research on this stratigraphic topic in China is briefly outlined and leads on to a discussion of the boundary problem in the light of information available both inside and outside China.The sections across the Precambrian—Cambrian (Sinian—Cambrian) boundary are described with notes on fossils in: (1) Tianzhushan section, Yichang, Hubei; (2) Maidiping section, Emli, Sichuan; (3) Wangjiawan section, Jinning County, Yunnan; and (4) Kunyang section, Yunnan.This is followed by a consideration of the biotic characteristics of Sinian—Cambrian Period. The history of research on this stratigraphic topic in China is briefly outlined and leads on to a discussion of the boundary problem in the light of information available both inside and outside China. This is followed by a consideration of the biotic characteristics of Sinian—Cambrian boundary beds, with respect to stratigraphy as well as organic evolution. The Precambrian—Cambrian boundary in China is estimated to have an age of 615 ± 20 Ma.It is commented that the above sections are qualified to be important candidates for the selection of the Sinian—Cambrian boundary stratotype and are also important working reference sections for the international Precambrian—Cambrian boundary stratotype.
