雪宝顶区块流域钙华形成的生物作用研究

钙华不仅具有重要的景观旅游价值,而且对确定区内碳酸盐沉积特征、环境演化规律及同期环境生物的作用与贡献有重要的研究意义。本文在对比国内外典型钙华特征的基础上,以黄龙和九寨沟为例,对雪宝顶区块流域内钙华的沉积特征、环境化学与生物作用进行阐述,指出了雪宝顶区块流域冷水型钙华的形成与演化是化学沉积-溶解作用、生物沉积与溶蚀作用等共同作用的结果,并受非生物、生物因素影响。在雪宝顶冷水型钙华的形成过程中,微生物协同参与了钙华的沉积与溶蚀过程,通过自身新陈代谢促活动促使使钙离子结晶,并诱导晶型变化;其他生物体如植物、藻类等或以间接的方式促进或加快了钙华形成,或为钙华生长提供模板和体量。      

从露头剖面层序中求解海平面变化

海平面变化规律是层序地层学研究核心内容之一。在露头剖面的沉积学研究中，通常只能对水深变化作出估价，而难以直接判断海平面的变化情况。因此，如何从露头剖面的地层层序中来求解海平面的变化，是摆在我们面前的一个难题。本文介绍了用数学方法和改进后的Ｆｉｓｃｈｅｒ图解来求解在特定沉积背景下形成的地层层序所反映的海平面变化情况，并用上述方法对塔里木盆地北部肖尔布拉克地区寒式纪露头剖面进行了海平面变化的重建，得到了良好的结果。

基于微岩相分析的藻类在钙华沉积中的作用研究——以四川黄龙为例

在地表环境下,钙华沉积常常是物理化学和生物沉积过程共同作用的结果。藻类因其在钙华沉积环境中具有较大的生物量及其自身拥有多样的代谢方式,对钙华沉积过程和形态具有重要影响。本研究以四川黄龙钙华为例,通过对典型沉积点的水化学、藻类群落组成和现代钙华微岩相结构进行综合分析,来揭示藻类在钙华沉积中的作用。研究发现,黄龙钙华沉积环境中分布的藻类主要包括蓝藻、绿藻和硅藻等。这些藻类代谢活动会在一定程度上改变沉积水体水化学环境,但在快速流动的水体中,其影响有限。不同藻类群落常常形成几百微米至1~2 mm厚的微生物席或生物膜层,作为碳酸钙沉积发生的重要场所,即钙华沉积活动层。在该活动层内,藻体及其分泌的胞外聚合物（EPS）能够为碳酸钙晶体生长提供大量成核位点和生长模板,从而极大地促进钙华沉积。同时,EPS可以控制或影响碳酸钙结晶形态及钙华微岩相结构。准确认识和量化藻类在钙华沉积中的作用还需要继续开展更多微观尺度方面的研究,以便更好地理解钙华沉积机制,并为准确解译古老钙华岩相结构和地球化学特征奠定基础,同时为预测钙华景观演化和保育提供更多科学依据。      

Global travertine deposition modulated by oscillations in climate

Travertine deposits are important records of past fluid flow in the Earth's crust, and document fluid migration through both tectonic activity and changes in climate. While many studies hint at possible relationships between travertine formation and global climate, none have investigated these connections on a global scale. Here we compile 1649 published travertine ages from six continents to test the hypothesis that global and/or regional changes in climate regulate travertine deposition. Peaks in bedded travertine ages occur with main frequencies that correspond to 100‐kyr changes in global climate, where most peaks occur during glacial terminations or interglacial periods, including a large peak that coincides with the Early Holocene climatic optimum. Time–series analysis also suggests a possible connection with 41‐kyr obliquity cycles. At regional scales, many peaks also correspond with local times of high precipitation or wet conditions. This can be attributed to higher groundwater recharge rates, providing the necessary water to form travertine. Many bedded travertine‐depositing systems may therefore be water‐limiting and sufficient CO₂ may be present even during times of no travertine deposition. Exceptions to this conclusion are banded vein travertine deposits, which typically form during times of dry climate when water tables are low. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

由于其独特的钙华景观,黄龙风景区于1992年被联合国教科文组织列为世界自然遗产名录以来,每年吸引数以十万甚至百万计的国内外游客前来旅游;然而,可能由于旅游活动的影响,近年来黄龙钙华景观出现了诸多形式的退化,钙华沉积速率明显减缓即是其表现形式之一.为了阐明这一退化现象是否与旅游活动有关,从2010年5月下旬到11月初的丰...

Travertine deposition and faulting: the fault-related travertine fissure-ridge at Terme S. Giovanni,Rapolano Terme (Italy)

In this paper we describe an example of travertine fissure-ridge development along the trace of a normal fault with metre displacement, located in the eastern margin of the Neogene–Quaternary Siena Basin, in the Terme S. Giovanni area (Rapolano Terme, Italy). This morphotectonic feature, 250 m long, 30 m wide and 10 m high, formed from supersaturated hot waters (39.9°C) flowing from thermal springs aligned along the trace of the normal fault dissecting travertines not older than Late Pleistocene (24 ± 3 ka). A straight, continuous fissure with a maximum width of 20 cm occurs at the top of the ridge, along its crest. Hot fluids flow from cones mainly located at the extremities of the ridge, where travertine is depositing. The travertine fissure-ridge shows an asymmetrical profile since it buries the fault scarp. The difference in height of slopes corresponds to the vertical displacement of the normal fault. Fissuring of the recent travertine deposits along the strike of the crestal fissure, as well as recent hydrothermal circulation, lead us to believe that the Terme S. Giovanni normal fault may be currently active. On the whole, the Terme S. Giovanni fissure ridge can be defined as a travertine fault trace fissure-ridge, adding a helpful example for studying the relationship between faulting and travertine deposition.     

钙华的形成环境与特征及在油气储集方向的探讨

钙华是一种特殊的化学或生物化学沉积,它们在大陆内部广泛地分布且含有重要的地质信息,是一种特殊的油气储集体。影响钙华沉积的因素复杂多样,在调研钙华的形成过程及分类的基础上,从气候环境、水文地质条件、水体物理化学条件、生物活动及构造活动五个方面讨论钙华形成的控制因素;并从沉积环境与模式、沉积速率等方面将新疆塔北地区的钙华与国外钙华沉积体进行类比,发现塔北钙华沉积体在温暖湿润的环境下表现出良好的季节性分层,五道班地区钙华在沉积时汇入了大量的陆源碎屑,受生物活动影响较大;硫磺沟地区的钙华沉积则是伴随断裂活动所形成热液上涌的产物。通过对比发现,塔北露头缝洞内充填的钙华内部孔隙发达、连通性较好,并有良好的含油显示,故钙华具备一定的储集能力。     

Variations des paramètres physico-chimiques des eaux de l'Oued Aggai: significations géo-environnementales et conséquences sur la précipitation des travertins actuels (causse de Sefrou,Moyen-Atlas - Maroc)

Waters from Wadi Aggai display a magnesian bicarbonate chemical facies, related to a dominantly dolomitic basement. Large travertine deposition occurred during the humid episodes of the Plio-Quaternary. Current travertine deposition is strongly reduced, the only functional sites being located in the upper parts of the watershed. This is due to the general climatic trend towards aridity and, more importantly, the environmental disequilibrium due to human impact. Such an impact is inferred from changes in water quality, due to deforestation and resulting soil erosion, disposal of sewage and waste materials, and use of fertilisers.     

Oxygen isotope composition of annually banded modern and mid-Holocene travertine and evidence of paleomonsoon floods, Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA

Holocene and modern travertine formed in spring-fed Havasu Creek of the Grand Canyon, Arizona, was studied to determine the factors governing its oxygen-isotope composition. Analysis of substrate-grown travertine indicates that calculated calcite-formation temperatures compare favorably with measured water temperatures, and include silt-rich laminae deposited by monsoon-driven floods. Ancient spring-pool travertine is dated by U-series at 7380 ± 110 yr and consists of 14 travertine-silt couplets of probable annual deposition. One hundred eighty high-resolution δ¹⁸O analyses of this mid-Holocene sample average −11.0‰ PDB. The average value for modern travertine is 0.5‰ lower, perhaps because mid-Holocene temperature was higher or there was proportionally greater summer recharge. δ¹⁸O cyclicity in the mid-Holocene travertine has average amplitude of 1.9 ± 0.5‰ PDB, slightly less than the inferred modern-day annual temperature range of Havasu Creek. The annual temperature range might have been reduced during the 14-yr interval compared to present, although other non-temperature factors could account for the muted annual variation. Silt-rich laminae within isotopically lower calcite in the modern and mid-Holocene travertine verifies the seasonal resolution of both samples, and suggests that similar temperature-precipitation conditions, as well as monsoon-generated summer floods, prevailed in the mid-Holocene as they do throughout the Grand Canyon region today.     

Evolution of Pleistocene travertine depositional system from terraced slope to fissure-ridge in a mixed travertine-alluvial succession (Jebel El Mida,Gafsa, southern Tunisia)

The Quaternary stratigraphic record of Jebel El Mida, composed of continental deposits, is a useful example of concomitant travertines and alluvial deposition in an extensional setting. Travertine deposition occurred in a faulted Pleistocene alluvial fan giving rise to seven (recognised) facies interfingering with five other alluvial ones. The travertine depositional events indicate a tectonically driven evolution from terraced slope (facies group FC1–FC6) to a travertine fissure ridge-type depositing phase (facies group of FC1–FC7). Interfingering between travertine and alluvial facies indicates the co-existence of adjacent and time-equivalent depositional environments. The travertine deposition resulted from deep origin hydrothermal fluids channelled along damaged rocks volumes associated to a regional fault system, named as the Gafsa Fault (GF). The travertine–terrigenous succession in Jebel El Mida highlights the major role played by the GF in controlling: (i) the hydrothermal fluid flow, still active as also indicated by the numerous thermal springs aligned along the fault zone; (ii) paleoflow directions, discharge locations, volume, rate and fluctuations of the water supply. The paleoclimatic correlation with adjacent localities reveals that, at that time, humid episodes could have contributed to the recharge of the hydrothermal system and to the deposition of alluvial sediments.
