The present study aims to provide carbon-isotope curves for the Cenomanian to Turonian rudist-dominated successions in north Sinai. The high-resolution carbon-isotope curves obtained from north Sinai sections provide new insight for calibrating the age of rudists as well as for evaluating the effects of the oceanic anoxic event 2 (OAE2) on rudist communities. The primary goals are (1) to provide a high-resolution sequence stratigraphic framework for the Cenomanian-Turonian succession, (2) to use rudist and ammonite biostratigraphic data to distinguish the stratigraphic levels of the rudist species, and (3) to integrate the chemostratigraphic (δ13C) profile and the rudist levels to improve the biostratigraphy based on the rudist distributions and the carbon-isotope data. The recognition of three ammonite zones through the Cenomanian-Turonian succession was utilized to identify four temporally significant rudist levels indicative of the Lower Cenomanian, Middle Cenomanian, Upper Cenomanian, and Middle Turonian, respectively. Most of the rudists occur in the highstand deposits of medium-scale sequences. Carbon- and oxygen-isotopic analyses were carried out on both rudists and surrounding carbonate units. Based on the variations in the carbon-isotope signals, 12 chronostratigraphic segments were identified in the studied sections. The Cenomanian carbon-isotope segments (C23–C30) were obtained from the Halal Formation at Gabal Yelleg and Gabal Maaza sections, while the Turonian segments (C30–C34) were measured from the Wata Formation at Gabal Yelleg section. The carbon-isotope record from the studied sections is consistent with the trends documented in previous studies of the Tethyan realm. The Cenomanian-Turonian boundary is placed at the onset of falling carbon-isotope values (δ13C) from 2.61 to ?0.25‰ in the upper part of OAE2 with the carbon-isotope segment C30 at Gabal Yelleg. The negative shift in δ13C values (C33) occurred in the Middle Turonian lowstand deposits characterizing the global sea level fall during this interval. 相似文献

Abstract Fe-Mg carpholite occurs in metasediments of tectonically disrupted basement, shelf and foreland basin units that structurally underlie the Semail ophiolite in NE Oman. In the lower grade, structurally higher units, Fe-rich carpholite coexists with paragonite, quartz, illite, kaolinite and chlorite, whereas in deeper units, Fe-Mg carpholite occurs with pyrophyllite, sudoite, phengite and/or chloritoid. Mineral compositions in these units indicate that chlorite is more magnesian than coexisting Fe-Mg carpholite at low temperatures and pressures but, at higher metamorphic grades, XMg decreases in the order sudoite > carpholite > chlorite > chloritoid. This suggests a reversal in Fe-Mg partitioning between Fe-Mg carpholite and chlorite at temperatures below or close to those of the breakdown of kaolinite + quartz to pyrophyllite and at XMg = 0.35.
Phase relations and mineral equilibria indicate that the P-T conditions of formation of the Fe-Mg-carpholite-bearing rocks of NE Oman range from 280–315° C, 3–6 kbar for the structurally highest units to 325–440° C, 6–9.5 kbar for the deepest units, indicating a systematic down-section increase in metamorphic grade. Textural relations in these rocks, interpreted in the context of pertinent equilibria, are consistent with the clockwise P-T paths previously constrained for these units from petrological studies of interlayered isofacial mafic rocks. 相似文献

Eclogites and blueschists occur in the basement and continentalshelf deposits in the Saih Hatat tectonic window of northeasternOman, where they structurally underlie the Semail ophiolite.These eclogites and blueschists constitute part of a coherenthigh-P/T metamorphic terrain comprised of interlayered metabasites,metapelites, and quartzofeldspathic and calcareous mica schists.The metabasites record a continuous regional trend of increasingP and T from west to east, where crossite-epidote schists incentral and western Saih Hatat grade into blueschists and eclogitesat As-Sifah, allowing for the subdivision of this terrain intothree metamorphic zones. P-T conditions range from 4?5 to 5?5kb atT <340?C for zone A to >10?2 kb at 500580?Cfor zone C. Zoning patterns of garnets, pyroxenes, and phengite, and thecompositions of pyroxene and amphibole inclusions in garnet,indicate that the eclogites and enclosing high-grade blueschistsof zone C followed a clockwise P-T rpath of increasingP and T followed by increasing T and decreasing P and a finalstage of retrogression. Garnets and pyroxenes crystallized atdifferent stages of P-T evolution of the terrain in the variouseclogite pods and boudins. This conclusion and the contrastingmineralogies of the eclogites and the enclosing blueschistsare attributed to differences in bulk-rock chemistry, fluidavailability, or fluid compositions within the terrain. The blueschists and eclogites of this terrain formed as a resultof A-type subduction and crustal thickening of the Oman continentalmargin along an east-northeast-dipping thrust or subductionzone which was initiated by the change in plate motionbetween Africa and Eurasia at 131 Ma. High P/T metamorphismcontinued until the final stages of ophiolite emplacement inthe late Cretaceous, as indicated by the metamorphism of thethrust sheets overlying the coherent terrain. 相似文献

The Lower Cretaceous sections in northern Sinai are composed of the Risan Aneiza (upper
Barremian-middle Albian) and the Halal (middle Albian-lower Cenomanian) formations. The facies
reflect subtle paleobathymetry from inner to outer ramp facies. The inner ramp facies are peritidal,
protected to open marine lagoons, shoals and rudist biostrome facies. The inner ramp facies grade
northward into outer ramp deposits. The upper Barremian-lower Cenomanian succession is subdivided
into nine depositional sequences correlated with those recognized in the neighbouring Tethyan areas.
These sequences are subdivided into 19 medium-scale sequences based on the facies evolution, the
recorded hardgrounds and flooding surfaces, interpreted as the result of eustatic sea level changes and
local tectonic activities of the early Syrian Arc rifting stage. Each sequence contains a lower
retrogradational parasequence set that constituted the transgressive systems tracts and an upper
progradational parasequence set that formed the highstand systems tracts. Nine rudist levels are
recorded in the upper Barremian through lower Cenomanian succession at Gabal Raghawi. At Gabal
Yelleg two rudist levels are found in the Albian. The rudist levels are associated with the highstand
systems tract deposits because of the suitability of the trophic conditions in the rudist-dominated ramp. 相似文献

Petrology of lawsonite-, pumpellyite- and sodic amphibole-bearing metabasites from north-east Oman 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The assemblages chlorite-pumpellyite-lawsonite-albite-quartz, chlorite-lawsonite-quartz-epidote and chlorite-epidote-albite-quartz occur in metabasaltic blocks and veins in a metamorphosed tectonic mélange in the structurally highest unit of the autochthonous and parautochthonous section underlying the Semail ophiolite in Saih Hatat, north-east Oman. The pre-Permian basement of this section contains mafic units characterized by the assemblage crossite-epidote-chlorite-quartz-albite /el actinolite. These assemblages indicate a down-section increase in metamorphic grade from 'lawsonite-albite facies' conditions in the mélange to 'epidote-blueschist' facies conditions in the basement.
Application of empirically and experimentally based thermobarometers as well as petrogenetic grids calculated for a model basaltic system indicates that the P-T conditions of metamorphism ranged from 3 to 6 kbar and 250 to 300 C for the mélange and P > 6.8 kbar, T > 310 C for the basement units. Textural relations interpreted in the context of petrogenetic grids indicate that these units followed clockwise P-T paths of evolution. The estimated P-T conditions and down-section increase in metamorphic grade in central, western and northern Saih Hatat are consistent with the hypothesis relating metamorphism to the Late Cretaceous tectonic loading of the continental margin by an ophiolite slab < 18 km in thickness. These results contrast with field and petrological observations documented for blueschists and eclogites exposed along the eastern coast of Saih Hatat which may have formed at an earlier stage in response to an Early Cretaceous collisional event. 相似文献

Eight pectinid shells were collected and subjected to quantitative study using δ18O and δ13C isotopic analysis in order to study the paleoenvironment which prevailed during their calcification. The scalerochronological variations in δ18O and δ13C values, among these shells are also discussed. The Early Miocene pectinid shells display highly depleted δ18O and δ13C signature as a result of paleo-meteoric water with heavy rainfall that was produced by Tropical Cyclones when the Mediterranean Sea was open. The Early Pliocene pectinid shells reveal depleted δ18O values, related to the influx of fresh water influenced by monsoonal activity following the formation of the Tibetan Plateau. Their enrichment in the δ13C isotopic excursion is referred to high productivity of the Indian Ocean, which was the main source of the Red Sea water. The Pleistocene pectinid shell shows highly depleted δ18O and δ13C signature with obvious diagenetic shell structure, indicating that a wetter humid climate prevailed during the Early–Middle Pleistocene and long sub-arial exposure of the shell. The Recent Mediterranean pectinid shell displays slight enrichment in δ18O and δ13C values referring to deeper inhabitation of this species with a low temperature and high salinity environment. The scalerochronological variations in both δ18O and δ13C values, along these shells is referred to seasonal variations or kinetic effects. 相似文献
