安徽巢湖地区下三叠统牙形石生物地层分带及其全球对比

安徽巢湖地区早三叠世处于下扬子碳酸盐岩缓坡较深水区域,地层序列完整、清晰,各类化石是区域乃至全球最为丰富、序列最为完整的,是研究国际早三叠世年代地层最经典地区之一．对安徽巢湖平顶山西坡剖面、平顶山北坡剖面、马家山南剖面系统采样和精细的牙形石生物地层研究结果表明,下三叠统至少可以划分为8个牙形石带,建立了在华南具有代表性的下三叠统牙形石生物地层序列,自下而上为（1）Hindeodus typicalis带;（2）Neogondolella krystyni-Neogondolella planata带;（3）Neospathodus kummeli带;（4）Neospathodus dieneri带;（5）Neospathodus iaageni带;（6）Neospathodus pingdingshanensis带;（7）Neospathodus homeri带;（8）Neospathodus anhuinensis带．并与世界其他地区同期地层进行精确对比,为建立下三叠统印度阶与奥伦尼克阶界线的全球层型（GSSP）提供可靠依据．     

桂西下三叠统牙形石序列的新认识

桂西下三叠统为海相沉积,根据其岩性、厚度、化石类型等诸方面的明显差异可以分为两种类型,即作登型和太平型。本文详细研究了桂西两种类型下三叠统的牙形石,认为不同类型的下三叠统具有不同的牙形石序列。在前人工作基础上,对桂西下三叠统牙形石序列予以重新厘定。补充了作登型下三叠统的Neogondolella carinta带;指出作登型下三叠统不宜建立Platyvillosus costatus带;在太平型下三叠统Dienerian阶—Spathian阶中新建了Pachvcladina erromera带,Platyvillosus costatus带,Pachycladina obliqua-Parachirognathus delicatulus带和Neospathodus triangularis带;指出了每一个牙形石带的性质并与作登型下三叠统牙形石序列进行了对比。本文还从事件地层学和生物地层学两个角度,对桂西二叠一三叠系界线提出了新的认识。     

贵州紫云石头寨晚二叠世—中三叠世牙形石动物群及生态意义

本文所研究的贵州紫云石头寨上二叠统长兴组—中三叠统新苑组牙形石,共计5属14种,其中Hindeodus julfensis在华南系首次发现。文中对下三叠统罗楼组上部—中三叠统新苑组下部共建立了3个牙形石带,它们是Neospathodus timorensis带、Neogondolella regale带和N.constricta带。其中N.regale在华南属首次报导。此外就N.timorensis带的时代归属作了讨论,认为该带应属早三叠世晚期。而N.regale带为安尼阶最下部的牙形石带。文中还对牙形石的生态作了初步探讨。     

安徽巢湖地区早三叠世粪化石内的牙形石

安徽巢湖马家山地区下三叠统南陵湖组上段的4枚粪化石中含有牙形石,首次提供了三叠纪牙形动物被捕食的证据。粪化石颜色为黑灰色,压型保存,呈长条形或近椭圆形;含粪化石的围岩为暗色的泥质灰岩,含丰富有机质。依据粪化石的形状、保存状态,以及同层位共生化石组合等,初步推断粪化石的来源可能系同层位产出的节肢动物。粪化石内含有18枚牙形石,经鉴定发现包含有Neospathodus homeri,Neospathodus.sp.indet.I,Neospathodus.sp.indet.II等分子,它们系N.homeri牙形石带的带分子或重要化石,指示南陵湖组上段的时代为早三叠世奥伦尼克期斯帕斯亚期,这与前人对此区域的生物地层研究结果一致。     

安徽巢湖平顶山西坡剖面印度阶与奥伦尼克阶界线层高分辨率牙形石生物地层

下三叠统印度阶与奥伦尼克阶全球候选层型剖面之一的中国安徽省巢湖市平顶山西坡剖面界线层,经连续不间断采样获得大量牙形石化石并进行详细的分带工作,建立了该界线层牙形石生物地层.由下往上划分为:1.Neospathodus dieneri带;2.N.waageni带.前者依次分为3个亚带:N.dieneri Morphotype1亚带,N.dieneri Morphotype2亚带和N.dieneri Morphotype3亚带.牙形石带可与该界线层的菊石带进行很好的对比;在详细区分牙形石Neospathodus属内各种特征的基础上,结合地层分布情况,跨越印度阶与奥伦尼克阶界线,演化谱系十分明显,牙形石N.dieneri Morphotype3在奥伦尼克阶之底即Smithian初期演化为:N.dieneri Morphotype3→N.waageni→N.pingdingshanensis、Neos-pathodus dieneri Morphotype3→N.waageni(细齿直立型)→N.n.sp.R和Neospathodus dieneri Morphotype3→N.pakistanensis.从谱系演化的观点出发认为:N.waageni的首现点作为奥伦尼克阶底界是合理的,并在该剖面确定了印度阶与奥伦尼克阶界线位于第24-16层,距剖面大隆组与殷坑组界线40.49m处.     

贵州册亨中三叠统坡段组中上部石珊瑚及牙形石生物地层

为进一步精确限定黔西南中三叠统坡段组的地质时代,论文选择贵州册亨中三叠统坡段组典型剖面开展了石珊瑚及牙形石生物地层研究,在中三叠统坡段组(中上部)识别出石珊瑚3属3种,它们包括Pentasmilia zaitingnaensis,Pinacophyllum spizzensis,Gillastraea delicate;识别出牙形石Neogondolella constricta带。该带除含有带分子外,还含有Neogondolella bulgarica,Neogondoela navicula,Neogondolella acuta,Neogondolella alpina alpina,Cratognathodus kochi,Ozarkodina tortilis,Prioniodinasp.,Lonchodinasp.等重要牙形石。通过对牙形石特征的分析和国内外同名带的对比,认为坡段组Neogondolella constricta带大体可与贵州省盘县地区羊圈-楚皮凹剖面中三叠统关岭组上段、贵州罗甸关刀(2)剖面关刀岩楔、和云南开远马者哨法郎组的同名化石带对比,进而确定贵州册亨地区坡段组含牙形石Neogondolella constricta带的地层时代为安尼期的Illyrian亚期。     

西藏冈底斯西段措勤地区三叠纪牙形石生物地层特征

西藏措勤县江让乡敌布错北缘的碳酸盐岩地层原来认为是中二叠世"下拉组",然而,最新的牙形石生物地层学研究否定了这种认识。在这套碳酸盐岩地层中识别出了三叠纪的4个牙形石带(组合带),即:Neogondolella carinata带、Neospathodus triangularis-Ns.homeri组合带、Chiosella timorensis带、Paragondolella inclinata-Pg.polygnathiformis组合带。牙形石动物群的对比研究表明,新建的嘎仁错组的时代为早三叠世印度期至中三叠世拉丁期末期,珠龙组采样层段的时代为中三叠世拉丁期末期至晚三叠世卡尼期的早期。     

云南保山地区中-晚三叠世Budurovignathus及Pseudofurnishius牙形类动物群的发现及意义

Budurovignathus和Pseudofurnishius牙形类动物群是世界上具有重要地层研究价值且比较稀有的牙形类动物群,迄止目前,在滇西保山地区发现:Budurovignathus hungaricus(Kozur et Vigh)、B.mungoensis(Diebel)、B.aff.mungoensis(Diebel)or B.baoshanensis sp.nov.、B.diebeli(Kozur et Mostler)、Pseudofurnishius socioensis(Gullo et Kozur),P.murcianus(Van Den Boogaard)和Pseudofurnishius sp.A等重要的属种,本次发现,为云南保山地区中—晚三叠世地层提供有力的生物年代约束,拓展了三叠世牙形石生物带,同时也丰富了中国这两个牙形类动物群的资料。     

贵州南部地区中三叠统青岩阶底界附近牙形石生物地层学研究

下中三叠统界线的划分一直是国际地层学研究中一个有争议的问题。中国西南地区从台地相到盆地相不同类型下中三叠统地层均较发育，为奥仑尼克阶一安尼阶界线层型的研究提供了有利条件。根据贵州望谟甘河桥剖面和贵州省贵阳市青岩剖面牙形石的研究，可识别出6个可与国内外进行对比的牙形石带，自下而上分别为：①Neospathdus cristagcdli间隔带，②Neospathodus pakistanensis间隔带，③Neospathodus waageni?BC涓舸躈eospathodus homeri-N. triangularis组合带，⑤Chiosella timorensis间隔带，⑥Neogongdolella regale延限带。在贵阳青岩剖面和望谟甘河桥剖面，早中三叠世存在一个Neospathodus-Chiosella-Neogongdolella的牙形石演化系列。在这个演化序列中，在Neospathodus horneri-N. triangularis带上部出现Neospathodus homeri和Chiosella timorensis之间的过渡类型Neospathodus qingyanensis，表明在下中三叠统附近牙形石存在较好的演化关系。在贵阳青岩剖面，下一中三叠统界线位于紫云组顶面之下1．5m处Chiosella timorensis带首现的位置，在望谟甘河桥剖面，下一中三叠统界线位于紫云组顶面之下0．5m处Chiosella timorensis带首现的位置。依据上述情况，本文建议贵阳青岩剖面作为下一中三叠统界线层型候选剖面，望谟甘河桥剖面作为下一中三叠统界线层型的辅助剖面加以深入研究。     

贵州紫云四大寨早三叠世地层初步研究

贵州紫云四大寨剖面下三叠统发育较齐全,化石较丰富。在此剖面上发现了大量牙形石、双壳类、菊石等生物化石,其中牙形石在该剖面上为首次发现,并识别出了早三叠世Neospathodusdieneri带、Neospathoduscrista-galli带、Neospathoduswaageni带和Neospathodushomeri-Neospathodustriangularis带的重要牙形石分子或带化石,可与国际同期地层中相应的牙形石化石带进行较好的对比;同时还发现了Claraiagriesbachi-C.concentrica组合和Claraiastachei-Claraiaaurita组合带的双壳类代表性分子。通过对这些化石综合分析,大致拟定了本剖面下三叠统格里斯巴赫亚阶(Griesbachian)、亭纳尔亚阶(Dienerian)、斯密斯亚阶(Smithian)和斯派斯亚阶(Spathian)的年代地层单位界线。     

Conodont Biostratigraphy and Age Determination of the Lower–Middle Triassic Boundary in South Guizhou Province, China

The demarcation of the Lower–Middle Triassic boundary is a disputed problem in global stratigraphic research. Lower–Middle Triassic strata of different types, from platform to basin facies, are well developed in Southwest China. This is favorable for the study of the Olenekian–Anisian boundary and establishing a stratotype for the Qingyan Stage. Based on research at the Ganheqiao section in Wangmo county and the Qingyan section in Guiyang city, Guizhou province, six conodont zones have been recognized, which can be correlated with those in other regions, in ascending order as follows: 1, Neospathodus cristagalli Interval-Zone; 2, Neospathodus pakistanensis Interval-Zone; 3, Neospathodus waageni Interval-Zone; 4, Neospathodus homeri-N. triangularis Assemblage-Zone; 5, Chiosella timorensis Interval-Zone; and 6, Neogongdolella regalis Range-Zone. An evolutionary series of the Early–Middle Triassic conodont genera Neospathodus-Chiosella-Neogongdolella discovered in the Ganheqiao and Qingyan sections has an intermediate type named Neospathodus qingyanensis that appears between Neospathodus homeri and Chiosella timorensis in the upper part of the Neospathodus homeri-N. triangularis Zone, showing an excellent evolutionary relationship of conodonts near the Lower–Middle Triassic boundary. The Lower–Middle Triassic boundary is located at 1.5 m below the top of the Ziyun Formation, where Chiosella timorensis Zone first appears in the Qingyan section, whereas this boundary is located 0.5 m below the top of the Ziyun Formation, where Chiosella timorensis Zone first appears in the Ganheqiao section. There exists one nearly 6-m thick vitric tuff bed at the bottom of the Xinyuan Formation in the Ganheqiao section, which is usually regarded as a lithologic symbol of the Lower–Middle Triassic boundary in South China. Based on the analysis of high-precision and high-sensitivity Secondary Ion Mass Spectrum data, the zircon age of this tuff has a weighted mean 206Pb/238U age of 239.0±2.9Ma (2s), which is a directly measured zircon U-Pb age of the Lower–Middle Triassic boundary. The Ganheqiao section in Wangmo county can therefore provide an excellent section through the Lower–Middle Triassic because it is continuous, the evolution of the conodonts is distinctive and the regionally stable distributed vitric tuff near the Lower–Middle Triassic boundary can be regarded as a regional key isochronal layer. This section can be regarded not only as a standard section for the establishment of the Qingyan Stage in China, but also as a reference section for the GSSP of the Lower–Middle Triassic boundary.     

Morphological Variation of Conodonts Platyvillosus from Yinkeng Formation in Chaohu, Anhui Province, China

A preciously undescribed Lower Triassic sequence of a series of multiple cycles of mud-lime rocks, with the argillaceous content decreasing upward while limestone becomes the dominant lithology in the upper part, contains abundant fossils such as conodonts, ammonoids and bivalves. The Yinkeng Formation is the oldest Triassic unit represented, and it conformably overlies dark-gray thin-bedded argillaceous silicalite and intercalated grayish illite clay interbeds of the Upper Permian of Dalong Formation.Conodont samples collected from west Pingdingshan Section, one of four measured sections in Chaoha,yielded abundant Lower Triassic conodonts from the middle part of the Yinkeng Formation. Most interesting and unmaml is the abundant occurrence of Platyvillosus in seven samples from the Flemingites-Euflemingites bearing (Smithian) mudstone, rhyolitic clay and limestone part of the section. The associated conodonts are Neospathodus dieneri type 1, N. dieneri type 2. N. dieneri type 3, N. cristagalli, N. waagenieowaageni (nov. subsp. ), N. waagenielongata (nov. subsp. ), N. waageniwaageni,N. sp. G (nov. sp. ), N. sp. L (nov. sp. ), N. sp. H (nov. sp. ), N. alberti, N. novaehollandiae,N. peculiaris, N. aff. discretus, N. conservativus, Parachirognathodus sp. and ramiform elements.The species Platyvillosus. which is restricted to a 1.32 m interval, reveals great variety in shape and denticle ornamentation pattern on the platform. The morphological study of the samples indicates that all speciemens with denticles on the upper surface can be included in intraspecific variation in Platyvillosus costatus (Staesche). Platyvillosus hamadai (Koike), marked by smooth upper surface, also appears to be connected by transitional forms in some samples. The fauna corresponds closely with that of the Taho limestone in Japan, although the depositional environments differ. The associated lithologies of the Yinkeng Formation within Chaohu area reflect a deeper and low energy remaining basin of the northern edge of the Lower Yangtze block.     

An Update of Conodonts in the Induan-Olenekian Boundary Strata at West Pingdingshan Section, Chaohu, Anhui Province

The Lower Triassic in Chaohu (巢湖) area, Anhui (安微) Province, China, is well developed and its sequence is typical in South China. After a brief introduction of the Induan-Olenekian boundary of Chaohu, this article presents some new data on conodonts. More than ten times of conodont samplings and investigations have recovered thousands of conodont specimens, which are especially rich in the Induan-Olenekian boundary strata at the West Pingdingshan Section in Chaohu City, Anhui Province. The most distinctive forms are the conodonts of the Neospathodus dieneri group and N. Waageni group. The first occurrence of N. Waageni eowaageni, which is regarded as the indicator of the Induan-Olenekian boundary, is situated at 40.49 m above the base of Yinkeng (殷坑) Formation. Some key conodonts and seven new specimens are introduced.     

西藏西部狮泉河地区二叠纪和三叠纪牙形石的发现及其意义

西藏西部阿里狮泉河地区的昂杰组、下拉组和左左组中发现牙形石化石。昂杰组的牙形石组合大致对比于中二叠世空谷期早中期Mesogondolella idahoensis-Vjalovognathus shindyensis组合带。下拉组顶部的牙形石组合大致对比于晚二叠世长兴期晚期Clarkina changxingensis带。左左组中含有早三叠世的Neospathodus sp.和Gladigondolella sp.,左左组和下拉组整合接触,左左组主体时代为三叠纪。狮泉河地区在早二叠世末期就开始由冈瓦纳相碎屑岩沉积转变为特提斯相碳酸盐岩沉积,在晚二叠世长兴期和早三叠世依然维持在海相沉积环境中。冈底斯西部在晚二叠世和三叠纪为古陆的观点有待于重新审视。     

Discussion on Induan-Olenekian Boundary in Chaohu, Anhui Province, China

This paper proposes a scheme for the definition of the Lower Triassic Induan-Olenekian boundary (IOB) based on investigation of sections in Chaohu, Anhui Province, China as well as data accumulated from other studies elsewhere. The conodont Neospathodus waageni is suggested as the index fossil of the boundary. According to the FAD of N. waageni, the IOB is at the base of bed 25-2 of the West Pingdingshan Section in Chaohu, 42.19 m above the Permian-Triassic boundary, and it is slightly higher than the base of the Flemingites-Euflemingites Ammonoid Zone at the section.
