Ichnofabric analysis of the Tithonian shallow marine sediments (Bhadasar Formation) Jaisalmer Basin,India

The shallow marine sedimentary sequence of the Jaisalmer Basin exhibits one of the important and well-developed Tithonian sedimentary outcrops for western India. The ichnology and ichnofabric of the lower part of Bhadasar Formation (i.e., Kolar Dongar Member) belonging to Tithonian age are presented and discussed. The Kolar Dongar Member represents a shallow marine succession that contains 16 ichnotaxa: Ancorichnus ancorichnus, Conichnus conicus, Gyrochorte comosa, cf. Jamesonichnites heinbergi, Imponoglyphus kevadiensis, Laevicyclus mongraensis, Monocraterion tentaculatum, Ophiomorpha nodosa, Palaeophycus tubularis, P. bolbiterminus, Phycodes palmatus, Planolites beverleyensis, Rhizocorallium isp., Rosselia rotatus, R. socialis, and Teichichnus rectus. The ichnofabric analysis divulges five distinct ichnofabrics, each typifying distinct depositional environment within shallow marine conditions. The ichnofabric Ophiomorpha 1 with syn-sedimentary faulting exemplifies high energy conditions typical of lower shoreface environment, whereas the Ophiomorpha 2 ichnofabric typifies upper shoreface environment. The Ancorichnus ichnofabric reflects lower offshore condition of deposition. The high ichnodiversity Ancorichnus–Rosselia ichnofabric is indicative of inner shelf conditions, while low ichno-diversity Teichichnus ichnofabric indicates prevalence of low energy brackish bay environment. Thus, Tithonian Kolar Dongar Member indicates depositional environment ranging from shoreface to offshore to inner shelf and finally to brackish bay environment.     

Integrated sedimentology and ichnology of Late Jurassic fluvial point‐bars – facies architecture and colonization styles (Lourinhã Formation,Lusitanian Basin,western Portugal)

Integrated sedimentological and ichnological case studies of ancient meandering river systems have, for the most part, focused on the deposits of the fluvial–tidal transition zone; much less emphasis has been placed on the purely fluvial realm above the landward limit of tidal effects. This problem needs to be addressed so that in future the defining sedimentological and ichnological criteria assigned to ancient fluvial reaches are sufficiently well‐established to enable their separation from the down‐dip fluvial–tidal transition zone. Accordingly, a case study has been carried out on a well‐exposed meander belt deposit from the Late Jurassic Lourinhã Formation of the Lusitanian Basin, western Portugal (Praia Do Valmitão, Ribamar). Analysis indicates that the meander belt here comprised mixed‐load fluvial channels traversing a vegetated floodplain subject to a seasonal winter wet/summer dry palaeoclimate. This setting facilitated the development of both calcic palaeosols and shallow lakes on the adjacent floodplain. Critically, there is no evidence of the effects of tidal modulation on bedding structures, thereby establishing purely fluvial conditions. Heterolithic point‐bar deposits generated in this setting are bioturbated extensively by a trace fossil assemblage dominated by the meniscate trace Taenidium barretti , with Skolithos linearis , Planolites beverleyensis and Cylindricum isp. also recognized. A number of factors suggest that the Taenidium barretti producer in this case was a subaquatic organism living in an active fluvial channel setting (i.e. not colonizing subaerially exposed channel‐margin/floodplain deposits). Accordingly, there are some implications for current ichnofabric/ichnofacies models in the continental realm. Firstly, Taenidium ‐dominated ichnofabrics need not necessarily be confined to colonization beneath subaerially exposed surfaces; they might also be produced within submerged substrates. Secondly, there is scope to extend the range of the Scoyenia ichnofacies to include active fluvial channels and not simply those channels that were inactive or abandoned.     

粤北晚泥盆世天子岭组遗迹组构及其环境解释

遗迹组构是由生物成因改造的沉积岩组构,它是物理过程和生物过程相互作用的产物。本文在广东韶关晚泥盆世天子岭组碳酸盐岩沉积中建立了4个遗迹组构,即反映局限台地或封闭海湾环境的Planolies montanus遗迹组构,反映台地潮下低能环境的Thalassinoides—Planolites遗迹组构,反映潮上-潮间环境的．Skolithos遗迹组构和受固底底质控制的Thalassinoides遗迹组构。对遗迹化石和生物扰动构造进行阶层分析,从中识别出受固底底质控制的遗迹化石Thalassinoides.sp,这类遗迹化石常常代表层序地层学中的重要界面。     

豫西地区下二叠统太原组遗迹组构及其沉积环境

豫西下二叠统太原组中发育丰富的遗迹化石,常见有Zoophycos,Taenidium,Thalassinoides,Teichichnus,Gordia,Nereites,Chondrites和Planolites等,部分灰岩层中还发育生物扰动构造。根据遗迹化石的形态、组成、产状、分布特征以及丰度、分异度、生物扰动程度的不同,在研究区太原组碳酸盐岩中共识别出5种遗迹组构,包括类型A--Gordia-Planolites遗迹组构、类型B--Rhizocorallium-Thalassinoides遗迹组构、类型C--Zoophycos-Taenidium遗迹组构、类型D--Zoophycos-Speckle burrow强生物扰动遗迹组构、类型E--Chondrites-Nereites遗迹组构。其中类型C根据Zoophycos在剖面上所展现的各种特征,又可细分为3种类型,即类型C-1,C-2和C-3。通过分析宿主岩的沉积特征,表明太原组碳酸盐岩中的遗迹组构主要分布于潟湖潮坪和台内浅滩(类型A)、正常天气浪基面之上的浅海上部或局限台地(类型B,类型C-1和类型C-2)、正常天气浪基面之下的开阔台地(类型C-3,类型D)和风暴浪基面之下的浅海下部或水动力条件类似的较闭塞的沉积环境中(类型E)。     

Trace fossils from Bhuban Formation,Surma Group (Lower to Middle Miocene) of Mizoram India and their palaeoenvironmental significance

A detailed ichnological study performed on the Bhuban Formation, Surma Group (Lower to Middle Miocene) of Mizoram, India reveals the occurrence of rich and diverse trace fossils. These have been collected from the two localities in Aizawl, i.e., Bawngkawn and Ropaiabawk, where sandstone—shale sequence is well exposed. Total 20 ichnospecies of 14 ichnogenera have been identified which include Arenicolites isp., Cochlichnus anguineus, Helminthopsis abeli, Laevicyclus mongraensis, Ophiomorpha borneensis, Palaeophycus tubularis, Palaeophycus heberti, Palaeophycus sulcatus, Palaeophycus alternatus, Pholeus abomasoformis, Pholeus bifurcatus, Planolites beverleyensis, Planolites annularis, Polykladichnus irregularis, Rhizocorallium isp., Skolithos linearis, Taenidium satanassi, Teichichnus rectus, Thalassinoides horizontalis and Thalassinoides paradoxicus. Ethologically these ichnogenera display dwelling and feeding activities of the infaunal organisms. Arenicolites, Ophiomorpha, Polykladichnus and Skolithos are the members of the Skolithos ichnofacies while Palaeophycus, Planolites, Rhizocorallium and Thalassinoides are the members of the Cruziana ichnofacies. The presence of Skolithos ichnofacies indicates sandy shifting substrate and high energy conditions in foreshore zone while the Cruziana ichnofacies indicate unconsolidated, poorly sorted soft substrate and low energy condition in the shoreface/offshore zone. These ichnogenera indicate foreshore to shoreface-offshore zone of shallow marine environment for the deposition of the rocks of the Bhuban Formation of Mizoram.     

A Study of the Sedimentary Environment of the Xiaoxi Formation in NE of Guizhou,China

The Xiaoxi Formation is well developed in two sections (Heishui, Yinjiang and Wuguxi, Shiqian), NE of Guizhou, China.This formation is composed of the sandstones, siltstones and mudstones, and preserved with the depostional structures and trace fossils. This paper focuses on the study of the sedimentary environment of the Xiaoxi Formation based on the materials from these sections. Five ichospecies are identified from two sections, including Palaeophycus isp., Rusophycus isp., Planolites isp., Gordia isp. and Phycodes isp. These trace fossils belong to the Cruziana ichofacies, Based on the depositonal structures, the ichofaces and the result of particle size analysis, the sedimentary environment of the Xiaoxi Formation of Silurian in NE of Guizhou is nearshore zone with a relativealy and stable environment under the average low tide line.
