陕西镇安西口石炭系—二叠系界线剖面综合地层学研究

对中国海相石炭—二叠系界线典型剖面陕西镇安西口剖面进行了生物地层、层序地层、磁性地层、事件地层多学科综合研究。在石炭—二叠系界线附近建立了4个牙形石生物带,自下而上依次为Streptogna-thoduselegantulus带,S·elongatus带,S·gracilis带和S·isolatus带。将研究区石炭—二叠系界线置于S·isolatus带的底界,较以带Pseudofusulinakrotowisphaeroidea-Dunbarinella(PD)带的底界为标志确定的石炭—二叠系界线层位低3·3m。在西口剖面上石炭统逍遥阶至下二叠统隆林阶,以初始海泛面作为层序界面,识别出12个四级层序(大体相当于副层序组),构成5个Ⅱ型三级层序。这5个三级层序及其对应的海平面变化与贵州独山、罗甸纳水、紫云扁平剖面同期地层中三级层序及海平面变化旋回之间显示出较好的对应关系。除下杨家河阶外,其余各阶的底界,包括逍遥阶、上杨家河阶、范家河阶、垭口阶及隆林阶的底界,基本上都位于沉积相转换点或其附近,即层序地层及海平面变化旋回的关键界面或其附近。表明这5个三级层序的关键界面与年代地层界线的关系相当密切。碳酸盐岩磁化率大小与碳酸盐岩微相存在一定的对应关系,显示相对海平面变化是控制碳酸盐岩磁化率大小的重要因素。另外,在重要地层界线附近常出现磁化率异常高值,说明碳酸盐岩磁化率可能作为地层划分对比的重要依据。西口地区晚石炭世逍遥期至早二叠世隆林期地层中可识别出两次明显的类辐射事件。第一次类辐射事件发生在Occidentoschwagerinaalpina-O·postgallowayi(OS)组合带底部,即下杨家河阶的底部。第二次辐射事件发生在Mccloudiaregularis-Par-aschwagerinafragosa-Robustoschwagerinaxiaodushanica(MPR)组合带底部,即范家河阶的底部。具有三级和三级以上隔壁的四射珊瑚动物群突然大量繁盛,代表四射珊瑚演化进程中一次重大变革。在陕西镇安石炭—二叠系界线附近,这个生物事件首现层位相当于类Pseudofusulinaurdalensi(PU)带下部,高于该带底界不到12m,以Xikouphyllum-Shaannanophyllum-Szechuanophyllum-Wentzellophyllum组合带为代表。在这个层位牙形石也发生了重要变化。各类地质事件记录出现的层位关系密切。在垭口阶底界各类地质事件记录吻合最好,隆林阶底界次之,然后是范家河阶底界。与上述3条界线相比,在镇安西口剖面上,以牙形石Streptognathodusisolatus的首现位置确定的石炭—二叠系界线事件地层特征不明显,既不是一个生物辐射演化面,碳酸盐岩磁化率变化也不太明显,在实际工作中不易使用。

本文从杭州湾地区末次冰期以来的地质背景入手，分析了该区晚第四纪地层层序、深切河谷形成和演化等。末次冰期低海平面时河流侵蚀切割老地层，在本区形成４０－１１０ｍ深的河谷，谷底为区域不整合面，自海向陆方向和平行海岸线方向均为一不等时面，是Ｉ类层序边界。冰后期地层为一个完整的Ｉ类层序，但存在多个小的间断面。初始海泛面也是穿时的，在深切谷地带是滞流沉积物与溯源堆积物之间的界面，在河间地则为古土壤层的顶界面；     

柴北缘鱼卡地区侏罗纪含煤地层层序地层学研究

运用钻井岩心、测井及层序地层学有关理论、方法,对青海柴北缘鱼卡地区侏罗纪含煤地层进行了层序地层学研究。共识别出4个层序界面,将侏罗系含煤地层划分为3个三级层序,分别对应于中侏罗统大煤沟组、石门沟组下段和石门沟组上段;研究区层序界面主要包括区域不整合面(古风化壳)、三角洲平原分流河道下切谷、河道间古土壤和盆地内基准面下降—暴露—上升旋回的转折点;与海相含煤盆地不同,厚煤层在层序格架内的发育具有多样性。在古隆起和盆地内部,厚煤层常靠近初始湖泛面发育(煤7);在盆地边缘河流—三角洲平原,厚煤层常靠近最大湖泛面发育(煤5)。总体来看,陆相含煤盆地三级层序中,湖侵体系域聚煤最好。      

奥陶纪末期层序地层学研究

为了适应高精度地层对比的需要，特别是对相当于凝缩沉积的黑色笔石页岩相之间对比的需要，在生物地层学研究的基础之上，根据岩石和地球化学的综合研究，在奥陶系／志留系界线附近共识别出3类层序界面：Ⅰ型界面、Ⅱ型界面和一个由δ(^13C)的变化曲线识别出来的位于Tangyagraptus typicus亚带之底的无沉积间断的层序界面。并据此将奥陶系五峰组划分为2个三级层序，而依据δ(Ce)的变化规律，又可以将上述2个三级层序进一步划分为5个四级层序（Psq1-Psq5)，从而提高了地层划分对比的精度。

Problems of Sequence Stratigraphy in China

Sequence stratigraphy is the study of rock relationshipwithin a chronostratigraphic fram ework of the genetically re-lated strata bounded by unconform ities and its correlative con-formities(Van Wagoner,1995 ) .As a subdiscipline of stratig-raphy,sequence stratigraphy evolved in the late 1980 s fromseismic stratigraphy which was established in the late 1970 s(Mitchum,1977;Mitchum et al.,1977;Vail et al.,1977) .Although the history of sequence stratigraphy as a subdisci-pline is very brief,th…     

层序地层学:问题与讨论

论文回顾地震地层学对层序地层学的贡献与影响、层序地层学理论积淀,指出沉积层序存在的诸如层序边界（不整合面及其可比的整合面）跨界系统阶等年代地层单位、沉积层序"T-R"水侵-水退建模理论基础与层序边界不断调整、基准面曲线滞后水侵-水退（R-T）曲线和纯几何学的相对应整合面（可比的整合面）禁锢等4个问题.针对4个问题论文建议:（1）静止正常水退（SNR）取代高位正常水退（HNR）,解决层序地层学由高位正常水退不合理设定造成的非周期性问题;（2）鉴于残留最大水泛面（RMFS）潜在地接近或一致于年代地层单位界线或全球界线层型剖面和点（GSSP）阶的下界的特征,层序地层学有可能建立残留最大水泛面与其相对应不整合面组成的复合层序边界,其中的残留最大水泛面部分用于解决现行层序边界跨年代地层单位界线的问题;（3）复合层序边界由盆朝陆的"一对一"追踪方式解决层序边界由陆朝盆"一对多"不断调整的问题;（4）降级"相对应整合面"为体系域边界,解决双定义"相对应整合面"问题,其中,Hunt and Tucker（1992）的"相对应整合面"被复合层序边界相对应不整合面部分向盆内延伸（ESU）取代而作为低位体系域底界（ESU亦兼有水侵体系域在不整合处的底界作用）,Posamentier and Allen（1999）的"相对应整合面"被复合层序边界之上的恢复的强迫水退底界取代而作为下降期体系域底界.此外,强迫水退底界同义术语现在采用的海相侵蚀海退面（RSME）术语不能全部代表海相与非海相背景.

The Best Natural Boundary:a New Concept Developed by Combining the Sequence Boundary with the GSSP

Through a detailed study of sequence boundaries, it is concluded that sequence stratigraphy is an independent regional and transitional stratigraphic system between local lithostratigraphy and global chronostratigraphy. Therefore, a new tripartite stratigraphic classification scheme has been proposed. By combining organically the concept of sequence boundaries with the GSSP, it is suggested that the GSSP should be chosen in a conformale portion of a related sequence boundary, and the boundary established in light of this concept is defined as the Best Natural Boundary (BNB). The definition of the BNB points out the working area and stratigraphic level for the GSSP. By referring to a case study of the Permian Guadalupian/Lopingian boundary, the concept of the BNB has been elaborated in detail, and it is proposed that the BNB of the Guadalupian and the Lopingian lies between the Mesogondolella granti Zone and the Ctarkina postbitteri Zone, which is also the sequence chronostratigraphic boundary between th

Paradoxes of stratigraphy

Some contradictory propositions and concepts of the theory and practice of stratigraphy regarded as paradoxes are discussed. Attention is paid to the fundamental impossibility to associate the wide geographic distribution of a group of organisms with a high rate of speciation of these organisms. However, it is this feature that is commonly used as the basis for determining orthostratigrafic groups of fossil organisms. The dualism of time in stratigraphy, which led to the emergence of chronostratigraphy and the GSSP concept, is considered. The incompatibility of chronological and chronometric datings in stratigraphy is proved. Finally, the paradox of the smallest chronological unit is examined, which is related to the existence of not one but several smallest units (zones) in zonal chronology.     

Shift in the paradigm for GSSP boundary definition

For over 200 years the use of biotic events as the basis for the establishment of chronostratigraphic boundaries has been the only approach successfully utilized for international and national chronostratigraphy. The traditional biostratigraphic method provides relatively high resolution, averaging 1 Ma or sometimes less. This biochronological evolutionary approach to the Global Boundary Stratotype section and Point (GSSP) utilizes biotic Primary Markers (PM), with a few exceptions, encompasses the integrated PM and other non-PM markers as the general principles for defining GSSP boundaries and is a reasonably reliable mechanism for global correlation and a relatively stable International Geologic Time Scale (IGTS). The biotic PM's, however, possessed several serious restrictions: the nature of biological taxonomy, climatic, sedimentary, environmental - and directly applicable within the tropics-subtropics only. Biotic evolution and radiogenic isotopes are the only systems in geologic time that encompass the direction of time. The latter possessed less restrictions than the former. The recent tendency to define GSSP's utilizing magnetic chrons, climatic events and geochemistry may work in the Cenozoic, but is useless in the Mesozoic and older sediments because their cyclic nature (repeatedness) and the need for a second, directional in time index (biostratigraphic or radioisotopic) to place the PM in the right position within the scale. I propose here to utilize volcanic ash beds as the best Primary Marker in geologic chronostratigraphy. The U-Pb system is one of the most dependable of the geochronologic systems because it relies on a simple and non-interpretive radioisotopic decay constant. The ash-bed GSSP as a lithological horizon is universal for the GSSP definition and can be correlated as an age in any facies (marine, lagoon and continental), regardless of paleoclimatic zones, paleoceanographic, geochemical, and most other geological factors. Even moderate level metamorphism (>900 °С) does not affect the U-Pb dating of zircons. The GSSP at the base of a volcanic ash bed (Primary Marker) could be established in a short working time and these ash beds can be integrated with the existing as well as new biostratigraphic, geochemical, magnetostratigraphic and astronomical data (Secondary Markers) to create a robust, accurate and highly useable time scale. Several potential GSSP's that could be established with the volcanic ash beds close to the traditional and/or historical boundaries serve as examples for this approach and include Devonian-Carboniferous, Moscovian-Kasimovian, Kasimovian-Gzhelian, and Sakmarian-Artinskian boundaries.
