首次对华北板块东部早古生代克拉通边缘盆地的碳酸盐地层进行层序地层学剖析，认为从寒武纪至早奥陶世加积、侧积的碳酸盐层序主要受海平面升降所制约，为历时约１１０Ｍａ的一个海进－海退旋回，是与全球海平面升降同步的超周期（二级旋回，Ｐ．Ｒ．Ｖａｉｌ，１９７８）。而且海面升高与海侵同步，其间被Ⅰ、Ⅱ型层序界面不整合分隔为四个层序。海面升降模式是缓慢的海进，快速的海退，在主体海退过程中层序界面及海面降低控制着蒸     

晋中南沁水盆地早古生代海平面变化及其对碳酸盐岩储层的制约——以中阳城关剖面为例

以中阳城关剖面为例的层序地层学研究表明，晋中南沁水盆地下古生界由２个二级旋回组成，其界面为早奥陶世亮甲山组顶部的平行不整合面。这两个旋回的海面变化曲线形态具有区域乃至全球范围的可比性。由准层序堆叠方式确定的三级旋回具有区域性特点。难以进行全球范围内的对比。各层序均由海进体系域（ＴＳＴ）及高水位体系域（ＨＳＴ）构成，缺低水位体系域（ＬＳＴ）及海退体系域（ＲＳＴ）。潜在储层的发育主要是海退及低水位时期先期高水位体系域的白云石化及随之而发生的淡水淋滤形成的。因而本区储层的产出层位与层序界面具有强烈相关关系。作为     

复合海平面变化控制下的碳酸盐向上变浅层序──以贵阳地区三叠系大冶组灰岩为例

碳酸盐向上变浅层序形成的主因乃因在被动大陆边缘至克拉通盆地中，构造沉降速率一般要小于碳酸盐生产速率，而碳酸盐生产速率又要小于海平面变化相对上升速率。由此就形成了台地淹没事件形成的“淹没不整合”界面之上发育的碳酸盐向上变浅层序。这种低频率海平面变化快速上升超过碳酸盐生产速率形成的向上变浅层序，可由许多种类型的米级旋回层序有规律的垂直叠加所构成。在低频率海平面变化的上升阶段则以淹没节拍为主的米级旋回层序为特征，而在停滞至下降阶段则以暴露节拍的米级旋回层序为特征。而且组成向上变浅层序的下部单元──淹没事件形成的凝缩面具有从靠近盆地区到靠近台地区变薄的趋势。贵阳地区三叠系大冶组灰岩由两个向上变浅层序组成，每一层序包括若干个不同类型的米级旋四层序。

塔里木西部古生代层序地层特征

塔里木西部在古生代地质演化过程中,由于构造活动、海平面升降变化、沉积物供应速率等因素变化,造成了不同形式和不同级别的沉积间断,其产物---不整合面是建立该区层序地层格架的关键。研究区古生代大体经历了(寒武-奥陶纪)海进→(志留-泥盆纪)海退)→(石炭纪)海进→(二叠纪)海退的沉积旋回,形成了特征各异的层序序列。研究表明,其中Ⅰ级不整合面(层序面)有前震旦系顶界面、奥陶系顶界面和古生界顶界面。根据地面剖面、钻井和地震资料以及不整合面的特征和级别,首次在古生界识别出2个Ⅰ级层序、6个Ⅱ级层序和12个Ⅲ级层序。Ⅰ级层序是在不同的构造背景和沉积条件下形成的。Ⅱ级层序尽管特征各异,但一般均有四种基本叠置方式组成,即退积、进积、加积和上超。Ⅲ级层序一般由层序界面、海侵面和最大海泛面所限定的体系域组成,均发育TST和HST,有时出现SMST和LST。不同的体系域和沉积相控制着烃类生储盖层的分布,TST与生油层和储集层的形成有关,而HST多与盖层和储集层的形成有关。

鄂尔多斯盆地西缘晚石炭世沉积体系与高频层序旋回--以呼鲁斯太剖面例析

鄂尔多斯盆地西缘呼鲁斯太剖面上石炭统包括靖远组、羊虎沟组和太原组,发育有堡岛、堡岛-台地和潮控三角洲三种沉积体系,自下而上可以划分出16个海进－ 海退层序旋回,每个层序旋回的时限为1.1 ～ 3.3Ma, 平均 1.9Ma,相当于四级相对海平面变化旋回,属高频层序旋回。每个层序由海侵体系域和早期高位体系域、晚期高位体系域组成,偶发育有强制海退体系域。晚石炭世早期海侵来自祁连海,太原晚期,祁连海与华北连通。研究区古海平面变化表现为先慢速后快速海侵和快速海退,少数为正常海退,并由此建立了古海岸平原的层序地层模式。     

鄂尔多斯盆地西缘晚石炭世沉积体系与高频层序旋回--以呼鲁斯太剖面例析

四川龙门山甘溪泥盆纪生态地层、层序地层与海平面变化

龙门山甘溪剖面是我国泥盆系重要典型剖面之一,倍受中外同行关注。本文着重对生态地层、事件地层、层序地层进行研究,为研究全球海平面变化提供区域背景资料。龙门山甘溪剖面含十分丰富的底栖生物化石,从洛赫柯夫阶-弗拉斯阶自下而上可识别出24个腕足动物群落,另外还建立了若干礁复体群落和浮游群落
本文对以上群落的特征、性质、分异度、成分、底栖组合及其与沉积环境的关系作了分析和讨论,并识别了11个海进海退事件(生物的或非生物的)
本区泥盆系是加里东构造旋回后的第一个沉积盖层,属海平面主体上升和海侵同步条件下的旋回超覆地层,由砂质海岸环境向碳酸盐台地环境推进,构成了区内泥盆纪沉积层序序列的组合特征。根据海平面的变化及其相旋回的变迁,划分出6个三级沉积层序。6个沉积层序代表6次海平面的相对升降周期,大致相当于Vail,P.R.(1977)划分的三级地层旋回的海平面变化周期(延续时限1-12Ma),包括4个较大的海平面上升周期与2个较大的海平面下降周期,即洛赫柯夫期、布拉格晚期至埃姆斯早期,吉维中期及弗拉斯早、中期的海平面上升期与艾费尔期中晚期至法门期的海平面下隆期。
上述沉积层序特征和海平面变化,说明区内泥盆纪台缘断陷盆地的形成经历了由陆向海转化和盆地发展演化过程,反映了上扬子地台西缘陆架沉积发展的历史大致可划分为:盆地的雏形阶段(碎屑岩陆架的形成阶段),盆地的发展阶段(碎屑岩与碳酸盐岩混积陆架的形成阶段)和盆地形成与消亡不同性质的三个阶段。它们的形成与演化主要是构造断陷活动和龙门山海水不断向东侵进、古特提斯海北支向东扩展的结果,展示了由滨岸陆架转变为碳酸盐台地,由陆源碎屑充填转化为碳酸盐岩沉积的发展史。     

二叠纪海平面变化研究

在研究全球不同地区二叠纪沉积、层序及生物资料基础上,通过全球诸大陆典型剖面层序划分和对比表明,二叠纪至少有６次海平面升降事件具全球对比意义。二叠纪全球海平面旋回曲线,在不同板块不同成因盆地,其形态及结构不同,但总体可分为两种类型或分支：一是以海相→陆相沉积序列为主的反映主体海平面下降的经典型或欧美型;二是以海相碳酸盐岩→碳酸盐－硅质岩沉积序列为特征的揭示主体海平面上升的特拉斯型或华南型。这与二叠纪特定的全球构造－古地理密切相关。     

Sequence stratigraphy in the context of rapid regional uplift and high‐amplitude glacio‐eustatic changes: the Pleistocene Cutro Terrace (Calabria,southern Italy)

The Cutro Terrace is a mixed marine to continental terrace, where deposits up to 15 m thick discontinuously crop out in an area extending for ca 360 km² near Crotone (southern Italy). The terrace represents the oldest and highest terrace of the Crotone area, and it has been ascribed to marine isotope stage 7 (ca 200 kyr bp ). Detailed facies and sequence‐stratigraphic analyses of the terrace deposits allow the recognition of a suite of depositional environments ranging from middle shelf to fluvial, and of two stacked transgressive–regressive cycles (Cutro 1 and Cutro 2) bounded by ravinement surfaces and by surfaces of sub‐aerial exposure. In particular, carbonate sedimentation, consisting of algal build‐ups and biocalcarenites, characterizes the Cutro 1 cycle in the southern sector of the terrace, and passes into shoreface and foreshore sandstones and calcarenites towards the north‐west. The Cutro 2 cycle is mostly siliciclastic and consists of shoreface, lagoon‐estuarine, fluvial channel fill, floodplain and lacustrine deposits. The Cutro 1 cycle is characterized by very thin transgressive marine strata, represented by lags and shell beds upon a ravinement surface, and thicker regressive deposits. Moreover, the cycle appears foreshortened basinwards, which suggests that the accumulation of its distal and upper part occurred during forced regressive conditions. The Cutro 2 cycle displays a marked aggradational component of transgressive to highstand paralic and continental deposits, in places strongly influenced by local physiography, whereas forced regressive sediments are absent and probably accumulated further basinwards. The maximum flooding shoreline of the second cycle is translated ca 15 km basinward with respect to that of the first cycle, and this reflects a long‐term regressive trend mostly driven by regional uplift. The stratigraphic architecture of the Cutro Terrace deposits is the result of the interplay between regional uplift and high amplitude, Late Quaternary glacio‐eustatic changes. In particular, rapid transgressions, linked to glacio‐eustatic rises that outpaced regional uplift, favoured the accumulation of thin transgressive marine strata at the base of the two cycles. In contrast, the combined effect of glacio‐eustatic falls and regional uplift led to high‐magnitude forced regressions. The superposition of the two cycles was favoured by a relatively flat topography, which allowed relatively complete preservation of stratal geometries that record large shoreline displacements during transgression and regression. The absence of a palaeo‐coastal cliff at the inner margin of the terrace supports this interpretation. The Cutro Terrace provides a case study of sequence architecture developed in uplifting settings and controlled by high‐amplitude glacio‐eustatic changes. This case study also demonstrates how the interplay of relative sea‐level change, sediment supply and physiography may determine either the superposition of cycles forming a single terrace or the formation of a staircase of terraces each recording an individual eustatic pulse.     

A Middle Ordovician Drowning Unconformity on the Northeastern Flank of the Okcheon (Ogcheon) Belt, South Korea

The Maggol Limestone of Ordovician age was deposited in the Taebaeksan (Taebacksan) Basin which occupies the northeastern flank of the Okcheon (Ogcheon) Belt of South Korea. Carbonate facies analysis in conjunction with conodont biostratigraphy suggests that an overall regression toward the top of the Maggol Limestone probably culminated in subaerial exposure of platform carbonates in the early Middle Ordovician (earliest Darriwilian). Elsewhere this subaerial exposure event is manifested as a major paleokarst unconformity at the Sauk-Tippecanoe sequence boundary beneath the Middle Ordovician succession and its equivalents, most in notably North America and North China. Due to its global extent, this paleokarst unconformity has been viewed as a product of second- or third-order eustatic sea level fall during the early Middle Ordovician. The Sauk-Tippecanoe sequence boundary in South Korea, however, appears to be a discrete marine-flooding surface in the upper Maggol Limestone. Strata beneath this surface represent by a thinning-upward stack of exposure-capped tidal flat-dominated cycles that are closely associated with multiple occurrences of paleokarst-related solution-collapse breccias. This marine-flooding surface is onlapped by a thick succession of thin-bedded micritic limestone that is eventually overlain by a Middle Ordovician condensed section. This physical stratigraphic relationship suggest that second- and third-order eustatic sea level fall may have been significantly tempered by regional tectonic subsidence near the end of Maggol deposition. The tectonic subsidence is also evidenced by the occurrence of coeval off-platform lowstand siliciclastic quartzite lenses as well as debris flow carbonate breccias (i.e., the Yemi Breccia) in the basin. With continued tectonic subsidence, a subsequent rise in the eustatic cycle caused drowning and deep flooding of the carbonate platform, forming a discrete marine-flooding surface that may be referred to as a drowning unconformity. This tectonic interpretation contrasts notably with the slowly subsiding carbonate platform model for the basin as has been previously suggested. Thus, it is proposed that the Taebaeksan Basin in the northeastern flank on the Okcheon Belt evolved from a slowly subsiding carbonate platform to a rapidly subsiding intracontinental rift basin during the early Middle Ordovician.     

塔里木盆地奥陶纪碳酸盐岩台地的层序结构演化及其对盆地过程的响应

塔里木盆地奥陶纪的碳酸盐岩台地发育有长达3千余千米的台地边缘带。通过综合大量的地震、钻井及野外剖面的分析,奥陶纪碳酸盐岩系中识别出4个以不整合面为界的复合（二级）层序。它们均显示出从上超的水进沉积到进积或加积的高位域的沉积结构。其内可进一步划分出10个沉积层序或三级层序。它们的组合和分布决定着碳酸盐台地沉积层序结构的基本特征。沉积层序的水进早期或高位域晚期以颗粒灰岩、生物灰岩等沉积相组合为主;而水进期或高位域早期则以泥晶-粉晶灰岩、簿层白云质灰岩等沉积相组合为主。古地貌恢复并结合钻井资料的沉积相分析揭示出,盆地东北部早、中奥陶世的碳酸盐岩台地边缘的分布受到满加尔深水凹陷的边缘斜坡带古构造地貌的控制,形成一向西凸的弧形碳酸盐岩台地边缘带,沿台地边缘发育有礁-滩沉积复合体。中奥陶世的构造古地理变革使盆内的碳酸盐岩台地分异成塔中、塔北、塘南等多个孤立台地,并由深水、半深水的凹陷所分隔。台地边缘的发育和分布常受古隆起边缘的控制。沿台地边缘的礁、滩相带为重要的有利储集层发育带。中奥陶统中央隆起带缺失中奥陶世早期和晚奥陶世早期沉积,并形成了大范围分布的喀斯特岩溶不整合面。喀斯特岩溶体系以发育垂向的、由断裂控制的串珠状洞穴和多层状分布的岩溶洞穴为特征。
     跨盆地不同构造带的井-震结合解释剖面的追踪对比表明,盆内与二级、三级层序对应的海进-海退旋回是同时变化的,并与Haq的海平面变化曲线可对比。这反映出盆地范围的或全球海平面变化对沉积旋回结构的发育具有控制作用。盆地西缘露头剖面和盆内钻井岩心的碳、氧同位素分析也为海平面变化的旋回结构分析提供了制约。主要海平面下降期的氧同位素δ18O都发生了明显的正偏。盆内晚奥陶世的海平面总体是呈上升趋势的,晚奥陶世中期海平面的上升导致了盆内碳酸盐岩台地的总体淹没。

羌塘盆地雁石坪地区中-晚侏罗世碳、氧同位素特征与沉积环境分析

通过对雁石坪地区中-上侏罗统碳酸盐岩的碳、氧同位素组成特征分析,认为其原始组分保存良好。在垂向上,碳、氧同位素的变化与沉积相演化和海平面曲线相吻合,说明它们与沉积环境的演化密切相关。结合碳、氧同位素的环境效应分析,认为中侏罗世雀莫错期沉积水体主要以陆源淡水作用为主,沉积环境属陆缘近海湖;布曲期为广海碳酸盐台地环境;夏里期为三角洲-淡化泻湖-潮坪环境。晚侏罗世索瓦早期为高盐度、高水温,相对局限浅海碳酸盐台地环境。中侏罗世至晚侏罗世早期经历了一次完整的海侵-海退旋回和一次海侵过程。     

浙江石浦下白垩统石浦群沉积相、层序及相对海平面变化

通过对浙江石浦下白垩统石浦群的野外和镜下分析,划分出19个岩石微相,进一步细分出14个碎屑岩岩石微相和5个碳酸盐岩岩石微相。综合相关沉积构造特征,岩石微相横纵向组合特征,以及对沉积过程的推测,识别出3个主要的沉积相:扇三角洲相、潮坪相和滨海-浅海相。根据剖面上发育的4个不整合面,以及1个沉积趋势由向上变浅到向上变深转换的突变面识别出5个层序界面,结合各层序内部特征,将石浦剖面划分出5个发育海侵体系域和海退体系域的T-R层序,以及1个仅发育海退体系域的层序。根据各层序内沉积相类型的变化特征、体系域叠置方式初步重建石浦地区早白垩世相对海平面升降曲线。发现阿普特阶-阿尔必阶,该地区相对海平面在四级旋回多次波动叠加的基础上,在三级旋回尺度上呈现逐渐上升的趋势。结合前人在该剖面建立的同位素年龄格架以及全球海平面变化,发现石浦剖面的相对海平面变化和全球海平面变化高度耦合,仅在119~116 Ma和104~100 Ma存在差异。结合石浦剖面火山岩的发育特征,以及出现海平面变化差异的时间段与大规模火山岩发育的时间段耦合,推测全球海平面变化和区域构造是影响石浦地区相对海平面变化的两个主要因素。     

Three-dimensional sequence analysis of a subsurface carbonate ramp, Mississippian Appalachian foreland basin, West Virginia, USA

Well‐cuttings, wireline logs and limited core and outcrop data were used to generate a regional, three‐dimensional sequence framework for Upper Mississippian (Chesterian), Greenbrier Group carbonates in the Appalachian foreland basin, West Virginia, USA. The resulting maps were used to document the stratigraphic response of the basin to tectonics and to glacio‐eustasy during the transition into ice‐house conditions. The ramp facies include inner ramp red beds and aeolianites, lagoonal muddy carbonates, mid‐ramp ooid and skeletal grainstone shoal complexes, and outer ramp wackestone–mudstone, that grades downslope into laminated silty lime mudstone. The facies make up fourth‐order sequences, a few metres to over 90 m (300 ft) thick. The sequences are bounded along the ramp margin by lowstand sandstones and calcareous siltstones. On the ramp, sequence boundaries are overlain by thin transgressive siliciclastics and aeolianites, and only a few are calichified. Maximum flooding surfaces on the outer ramp lie beneath deeper water facies that overlie lowstand to transgressive siliciclastic or carbonate units. On the shallow ramp, maximum flooding surfaces overlie siliciclastic‐prone transgressive systems tracts, that are overlain by highstand carbonates with significant grainstone units interlayered with lagoonal lime mudstones. The fourth‐order sequences are the major mappable subsurface units; they are bundled into weak composite sequences which are bounded by red beds. In spite of differential subsidence rates across the foreland basin (1 to 3 cm/k.y. up to 25 cm/k.y.), eustatic sea‐level changes controlled regional sequence development. Thrust‐load induced differential subsidence of fault‐blocks, coupled with in‐plane stress, controlled the rapid basinward thickening of the depositional wedge, whose thickness and facies were influenced by subtle structures such as arches trending at high angles as well as parallel to the margin.     

Tectonic, eustatic and environmental controls on mid-Cretaceous carbonate platform deposition, south-central Pyrenees, Spain

Cenomanian–Turonian strata of the south‐central Pyrenees in northern Spain contain three prograding carbonate sequences that record interactions among tectonics, sea level, environment and sediment fabric in controlling sequence development. Sequence UK‐1 (Lower to Upper Cenomanian) contains distinct lagoonal, back‐margin, margin, slope and basin facies, and was deposited on a broad, flat shelf adjacent to a deep basin. The lack of reef‐constructing organisms resulted in a gently dipping ramp morphology for the margin and slope. Sequence UK‐2 (Upper Cenomanian) contains similar shallow‐water facies belts, but syndepositional tectonic modification of the margin resulted in a steep slope and deposition of carbonate megabreccias. Sequence UK‐3 (Lower to Middle Turonian) records a shift from benthic to pelagic deposition, as the shallow platform was drowned in response to a eustatic sea‐level rise, coupled with increased organic productivity. Sequences UK‐1 to UK‐3 are subdivided into lowstand, transgressive and highstand systems tracts based on stratal geometries and facies distribution patterns. The same lithologies (e.g. megabreccias) commonly occur in more than one systems tract, indicating that: (1) the depositional system responded to more than just sea‐level fluctuations; and (2) similar processes occurred during different times throughout sequence development. These sequences illustrate the complexity of carbonate platform dynamics that influence sequence architecture. Rift tectonics and flexural subsidence played a major role in controlling the location of the platform margin, maintaining a steep slope gradient through syndepositional faulting, enhancing slope instability and erosion, and influencing depositional processes, stratal relationships and lithofacies distribution on the slope. Sea‐level variations (eustatic and relative) strongly influenced the timing of sequence and parasequence boundary formation, controlled changes in accommodation and promoted platform drowning (in conjunction with other factors). Physico‐chemical and climatic conditions were responsible for reducing carbonate production rates and inducing platform drowning. Finally, a mud‐rich sediment fabric affected platform morphology, growth geometries (aggradation vs. progradation) and facies distribution patterns.     

西南地区二叠纪层序地层及海平面变化

西南地区二叠系可划分为２个二级层序、１１个三级层序,它们代表１１次三级海平面升降旋回,其中有６次可与欧美地区二叠纪海平面变化相对比,它们是伦纳德（Ｌｅｏｎａｒｄｉａｎ）早期、瓜达卢普（Ｇｕａｄａｌｕｐｉａｎ）早期、瓜达卢普（Ｇｕａｄａｌｕｐｉａｎ）晚期、卡赞（Ｋａｚａｎｉａｎ）早期、鞑靼（Ｔａｔａｒｉａｎ）早期和鞑靼（Ｔａｔａｒｉａｎ）晚期的海平面旋回。研究表明,该区二叠纪相对海平面变化作为全球海平面变化和同沉积构造活动相互作用的产物,它与欧美地区乃至联合古陆发展具反向效应,即具有以海侵型碳酸盐沉积序列为典型的主体海平面上升的特点。作者认为显生宙全球海平面旋回曲线的二叠纪部分总体具有两种类型或分支：其一是以海侵型碳酸盐沉积序列为主的反映海平面主体上升的特提斯型或华南型;其二是以海陆过渡—陆相海退沉积序列为主的揭示海平面主体下降的经典型或欧美型。作者强调,全球二叠纪海侵型全球海平面旋回曲线应以西南地区为代表。
