Late Pleistocene glacial and lake history of northwestern Russia

Five regionally significant Weichselian glacial events, each separated by terrestrial and marine interstadial conditions, are described from northwestern Russia. The first glacial event took place in the Early Weichselian. An ice sheet centred in the Kara Sea area dammed up a large lake in the Pechora lowland. Water was discharged across a threshold on the Timan Ridge and via an ice-free corridor between the Scandinavian Ice Sheet and the Kara Sea Ice Sheet to the west and north into the Barents Sea. The next glaciation occurred around 75-70 kyr BP after an interstadial episode that lasted c. 15 kyr. A local ice cap developed over the Timan Ridge at the transition to the Middle Weichselian. Shortly after deglaciation of the Timan ice cap, an ice sheet centred in the Barents Sea reached the area. The configuration of this ice sheet suggests that it was confluent with the Scandinavian Ice Sheet. Consequently, around 70-65 kyr BP a huge ice-dammed lake formed in the White Sea basin (the 'White Sea Lake'), only now the outlet across the Timan Ridge discharged water eastward into the Pechora area. The Barents Sea Ice Sheet likely suffered marine down-draw that led to its rapid collapse. The White Sea Lake drained into the Barents Sea, and marine inundation and interstadial conditions followed between 65 and 55 kyr BP. The glaciation that followed was centred in the Kara Sea area around 55-45 kyr BP. Northward directed fluvial runoff in the Arkhangelsk region indicates that the Kara Sea Ice Sheet was independent of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet and that the Barents Sea remained ice free. This glaciation was succeeded by a c. 20-kyr-long ice-free and periglacial period before the Scandinavian Ice Sheet invaded from the west, and joined with the Barents Sea Ice Sheet in the northernmost areas of northwestern Russia. The study area seems to be the only region that was invaded by all three ice sheets during the Weichselian. A general increase in ice-sheet size and the westwards migrating ice-sheet dominance with time was reversed in Middle Weichselian time to an easterly dominated ice-sheet configuration. This sequence of events resulted in a complex lake history with spillways being re-used and ice-dammed lakes appearing at different places along the ice margins at different times.

宁夏中卫地处北祁连加里东褶皱带东段,出露有连续而发育完好的晚石炭世海陆交互相含煤地层。根据岩性、颜色、粒度分析、沉积相标志、地球化学特征以及结合古生物化石资料,对中卫下河沿地区晚石炭世红土洼组、羊虎沟组和太原组的沉积相进行了分析研究,确立并划分出泻湖、潮坪、支间湾河口坝、滨海沼泽及三角洲平原等沉积相。在此基础上,结合本地区的古地理背景对宁夏中卫的晚石炭世的古沉积环境进行了重建。     

南盘江坳陷晚古生代隆林孤立台地沉积特征与演化阶段

南盘江坳陷隆林孤立碳酸盐台地在中泥盆世至晚二叠世的大部分时间内属于四周被深水海槽围绕的、受南盘江海演化拉张断裂而形成的一个孤立碳酸盐台地环境(其中早石炭世晚期-晚石炭世为连陆台地阶段)。通过对隆林地区晚古生代野外地层踏勘成果表明,孤台-台间海槽相区共识别出碳酸盐潮坪、台地边缘浅滩、台地边缘礁、台缘斜坡、台棚及台盆相等6种沉积相类型,并建立了其独具特色的孤立台地沉积模式。研究表明,它的演化经历了边缘碳酸盐台地(D1-D2)、孤立碳酸盐台地(D3-C11)、连陆台地(C12-C2)、孤立-淹没碳酸盐台地(P)4个发展阶段,反映了南盘江盆地在晚古生代强烈扩张、沉降,扬子地台边缘拉伸、破裂,微地块向盆地滑移的构造背景。     

塔里木盆地晚泥盆世-早石炭世东河砂岩沉积相

东河砂岩是塔里木盆地主要的勘探目的层和产油层之一。经过多年艰苦勘探和多学科综合研究,现已认识到东河砂岩为晚泥盆世晚期至早石炭世早期海平面上升背景下沉积的一套海侵底砂（砾）岩,在盆地范围内是一个明显的穿时沉积体。东河砂岩以滨浅海相陆源碎屑沉积占优势,局部发育海陆过渡相陆源碎屑沉积。根据盆地内100多口井资料的岩石学特征、沉积特征以及其它指相标志的综合分析,在东河砂岩中识别出滨岸、河口湾、辫状河三角洲以及冲积扇等不同的沉积相类型,其中高能碎屑滨岸相最重要,分布最广。东河砂岩沉积早期和中期,盆地主要为高能碎屑滨岸相和碎屑陆棚相沉积,末期海侵达到最大,盆地内为碳酸盐台地沉积,而轮南及盆地北部一带受物源区的影响,出现混积滨岸和碎屑滨岸沉积。东河砂岩明显具有填平补齐的沉积特征,其砂体厚度在缓坡处减薄、陡坡处增厚、遇孤岛减薄或尖灭,这些沉积特征为形成东河砂岩非构造圈闭奠定了良好的地质基础。满加尔、轮南、塔中、玛扎塔格以及草湖地区都有可能找到该类油气藏（田）,展示了东河砂岩非构造圈闭的良好勘探前景。     

江西铅山晚石炭世硅质岩地球化学特征与沉积环境

江西铅山晚石炭世硅质岩大多呈条带状、少量呈层状和结核状产出,赋存于灰岩层内或层间;主要由微晶石英 组成,含有少量蛋白石或玉髓,未见硅质生物及硅化特点。地球化学分析结果显示,晚石炭世硅质岩的SiO2 含量为 74.51%~98.48%,Al2O3,TiO2,MgO 及ΣREE 含量低, 分别为0.10%~3.42%（ 平均为0.45 ％）,<0.01%~0.12%（ 平均 <0.02％）,0.07%~1.46%（平均为0.20％）和<1.52×10-6~24.66×10-6（平均不足4.84×10-6）;δCe 值为0.15~0.70（平均为 0.42）,呈负异常。Al2O3 与TiO2 具有明显的相关性,而两者与SiO2 相关性极低。在双变量SiO2-Al2O3,SiO2-MgO 和三变量 Al-Fe-Mn,Fe-Mn-（Ni+Co+Cu）判别图上,硅质岩几乎都落入热液成因及生物沉积成因区;在双变量Fe2O3 / TiO2-Al2O3 /（Al2O3+Fe2O3） 判别图上,落入大陆边缘沉积区范围。综合地球化学特征及岩石薄片观察结果,可以认为研究区硅质岩形 成于大陆边缘,其成因主要与海底热液活动有关。

紫云晚石炭世叶状藻礁发育在碳酸盐岩台地边缘内。研究以碳酸盐岩微相分析为主要手段,对叶状藻礁剖面中岩石的微相特征和沉积环境研究。主要总结出6个微相类型,为生物碎屑粒泥灰岩、生物碎屑泥粒灰岩、球粒生屑泥粒灰岩、叶状藻粒泥灰岩—叶状藻泥粒灰岩、腕足泥粒灰岩、生物碎屑颗粒灰岩。总结了一个在开阔台地与台地边缘过渡带上的局部相模式,由较深水的开阔台地相、叶状藻礁相、台内斜坡相和台内较浅水的斜坡相、较浅水的开阔台地相、台内浅滩相过渡,分析总结了叶状藻礁的沉积环境。微相组合及其在剖面纵向分布规律显示,剖面的总体沉积环境为潮下带浅水开阔台地环境。      

西准噶尔晚石炭世哈拉阿拉特山组烃源岩发育沉积环境与有机质富集因素分析

准噶尔盆地西北缘哈拉阿拉特山地区发育一套晚石炭世哈拉阿拉特山组灰黑色泥岩层系,是该地区石炭系油气藏的主要烃源岩之一,但到目前为止,对该套烃源岩发育的沉积环境和有机质富集因素的认识尚不清楚。本文基于西准噶尔哈拉阿拉特山地区晚石炭世哈拉阿拉特山组乌和公路剖面,进行了详细的沉积学和岩石学研究,系统采集了17件新鲜泥岩样品,并开展了有机碳含量、主量元素和微量元素实验分析。通过综合分析野外调查结果和室内实验数据,得到如下几点认识：1）哈拉阿拉特山组泥岩发育在深海-半深海的沉积环境中,受浊流沉积频发的影响,底层水体一直处于富氧-缺氧的动荡变化过程之中;2）低V/Cr和U/Th比值,以及低V和U元素含量,指示了泥岩总体上形成于偏氧化的沉积环境;3）高的P和Ni元素含量,反映了当时水体具有较高的古生产力;4）在较高古生产力背景下,哈拉阿拉特山组泥岩有机质丰度（TOC平均为0.49%）偏低,原因是偏氧化的保存条件。因此,可以认为哈拉阿拉特山组泥岩有机质质富集主要受控于沉积水体的保存（氧化还原）条件。     

Late Quaternary ice sheet, lake and sea history of southwest Scandinavia – a synthesis

Based on a large number of new boreholes in northern Denmark, and on the existing data, a revised event‐stratigraphy is presented for southwestern Scandinavia. Five significant Late Saalian to Late Weichselian glacial events, each separated by periods of interglacial or interstadial marine or glaciolacustrine conditions, are identified in northern Denmark. The first glacial event is attributed to the Late Saalian c. 160–140 kyr BP, when the Warthe Ice Sheet advanced from easterly and southeasterly directions through the Baltic depression into Germany and Denmark. This Baltic ice extended as far as northern Denmark, where it probably merged with the Norwegian Channel Ice Stream (NCIS) and contributed to a large discharge of icebergs into the Norwegian Sea. Following the break up, marine conditions were established that persisted from the Late Saalian until the end of the Early Weichselian. The next glaciation occurred c. 65–60 kyr BP, when the Sundsøre ice advanced from the north into Denmark and the North Sea, where the Scandinavian and British Ice Sheets merged. During the subsequent deglaciation, large ice‐dammed lakes formed before the ice disintegrated in the Norwegian Channel, and marine conditions were re‐established. The following Ristinge advance from the Baltic, initiated c. 55 kyr BP, also reached northern Denmark, where it probably merged with the NCIS. The deglaciation, c. 50 kyr BP, was followed by a long period of marine arctic conditions. Around 30 kyr BP, the Scandinavian Ice Sheet expanded from the north into the Norwegian Channel, where it dammed the Kattegat ice lake. Shortly after, c. 29 kyr BP, the Kattegat advance began, and once again the Scandinavian and British Ice Sheets merged in the North Sea. The subsequent retreat to the Norwegian Channel led to the formation of Ribjerg ice lake, which persisted from 27 to 23 kyr BP. The expansion of the last ice sheet started c. 23 kyr BP, when the main advance occurred from north–northeasterly directions into Denmark. An ice‐dammed lake was formed during deglaciation, while the NCIS was still active. During a re‐advance and subsequent retreat c. 19 kyr BP, a number of tunnel‐valley systems were formed in association with ice‐marginal positions. The NCIS finally began to break up in the Norwegian Sea 18.8 kyr BP, and the Younger Yoldia Sea inundated northern Denmark around 18 kyr BP. The extensive amount of new and existing data applied to this synthesis has provided a better understanding of the timing and dynamics of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) during the last c. 160 kyr. Furthermore, our model contributes to the understanding of the timing of the occasional release of large quantities of meltwater from the southwestern part of the SIS that are likely to enter the North Atlantic and possibly affect the thermohaline circulation.     

Sedimentology and history of a Late Wisconsinan glacial lake, Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada

The Grande Prairie region of northwestern Alberta was partially covered by glacial Lake Peace, which was dammed against the retreating Laurentide ice sheet. Two levels of glacial Lake Peace are identified in the study are by closely spaced groups of strandlines and minor deltas lying at 805 to 840 m a. s. l., and 655 to 710 m a.s.l. Sedimentation associated with the upper of the two lake levels is marked by rhythmites of silt and clay deposited by turbid underflow, interbedded with diamicton deposited by debris flow. Dropstones and dump structures indicate common ice-rafting. Thick sequences are only found on the axes of major valleys, where sediment gravity flows were concertrated. Thin sequences of ice proximal glaciolacustrine sediments reflect topographic setting and do not indicate a short-lived lake. Retreat of the ice front resulted in a decrease in ice-rafted material and diamicton in sediments. The fall in lake level to the second stage resulted in deposition of sequences of vaguely laminated silt and clay close to the modern Beaverlodge River. These sediments were deposited by suspension settling from interflow or overflow of the Beaverlodge River as it entered the lake. Lake sedimentation was dominated by inflow from unglaciated areas, rather than the ice front.     

黔南独山地区晚石炭世—早二叠世早期沉积特征及层序地层研究

晚石炭世—早二叠世早期黔南地区发育一套巨厚层碳酸盐岩沉积,具有分布面积广、地层发育完整、剖面连续性好、沉积环境多样、岩性组合丰富等特点,是研究碳酸盐岩沉积特征及层序地层的理想场所。本文以黔南独山地区甲刀寨剖面为基干,以数条相邻剖面为辅助。运用沉积学及露头层序地层学的有关理论和研究方法对黔南地区露头实测资料进行沉积特征分析、层序划分及对比,认为黔南地区晚石炭世—早二叠世早期主要为碳酸盐局限台地、开阔台地、台地边缘-斜坡、台盆相沉积,而独山地区仅发育局限台地、开阔台地相沉积,整体表现为北北东"台"、南南西"盆"的格局。层序充填特征表现为:早期层序充填主要受控于三级海平面变化;晚期构造运动相对加强,构造活动和三级海平面变化共同控制层序格架内的沉积充填,表现在台地内沉积的填平补齐。

中国西北地区石炭纪沉积盆地分析

国内外百余年的油气资源普查勘探表明,沉积盆地分析是含油气盆地地质研究的核心。法国地质学家A.Perrodon (1980)在"石油地球动力学"一书中,开宗明义地提出"没有盆地,便没有石油"(Pas de bassin,Pas de Petrole)。在此以前,一位美国地质学家L.G.Wecks (1975)也认为:"盆地的分类是估计未发现油气资源量的基础"。一个地质历史发展较长的现今的沉积盆地,多数是由几个性质不同的原型沉积盆地叠合而成(如我国的塔里木、四川、鄂尔多斯等盆地),要剖析一个较复杂的叠合沉积盆地,应从其不同的原型沉积盆地分析入手。     

The structure of the eastern border of the Andes in north-western Argentina

In the eastern border area of the Andes of north-western Argentina two structural units are represented: the Cordillera Oriental and the Sierras Subandinas.The Cordillera Oriental represents a structural unit of faulted blocks strongly uplifted in relation to the Sierras Subandinas. In the Cordillera Oriental, the metamorphic basement has been partially folded together with the sedimentary cover. In some cases the cover has been detached away from its substratum and folded independently of it.It was generally accepted that the Sierras Subandinas coincide with big asymmetrical anticlines produced in the cover rocks by tilting of rigid basement blocks. The detailed geological mapping of the region situated between the parallels 24° 45 and 26° latitude south and the meridians 64° 30 and 66° west has provided data that permit to modify considerably this scheme.The existence of important strike-slip faults running highly oblique to the main regional structural pattern and controlling the shape of the Sierras Subandinas folds has been verified. These highly oblique faults with strike-slip movements, that affect the whole region, are probably ancient lineaments reactivated during Andean diastrophism in Upper Pliocene to Early Pleistocene time.

Zusammenfassung Im östlichen Grenzgebiet der Anden im nordwestlichen Argentinien liegen zwei strukturell unterschiedliche Einheiten vor, die Cordillera Oriental und die subandinen Sierren (Sierras Subandinas).Die Cordillera Oriental besteht aus Leistenschollen eines leicht metamorphisierten Sockels. Sie ist als Ganzes im Verhältnis zu den subandinen Sierren stark herausgehoben worden. In der Cordillera Oriental wurde dieser Sockel zum Teil zusammen mit seinen sedimentären Deckschichten verfaltet, zum Teil wurden sie aber auch von ihrem Unterlager abgeschert und unabhängig von ihm gefaltet.Bisher wurde allgemein angenommen, daß die subandinen Sierren aus großen assymmetrischen Falten aufgebaut werden, die in den Deckschichten durch Kippung starrer Blöcke im tieferen Untergrund hervorgerufen wurden. Die genaue geokartographische Aufnahme eines Gebietes zwischen den Breitenkreisen 24° 45 und 26° südl. Breite und den Längenkreisen 64° 30 und 66° westl. Länge erbrachte Daten, die es erlauben, diese Vorstellung erheblich zu modifizieren.Weit durchhaltende Seitenverschiebungen, die die übergeordneten Strukturen des gesamten Gebietes schräg durchziehen und die Gestalt der Falten in den Sierren erheblich beeinflussen, wurden nachgewiesen. Sie stellen wahrscheinlich alte, präandine Lineamente dar, die während der Anden-Orogenese im Jungtertiär bis Altpleistozän reaktiviert Wurden.

Resumen En el borde oriental de los Andes del Noroeste Argentino están representadas dos unidades estructurales: la Cordillera Oriental y las Sierras Subandinas.La Cordillera Oriental es una unidad constituida por bloques fallados y, en conjunto, elevada con respecto a las Sierras Subandinas. En la Cordillera Oriental el basamento metamórfico ha sido parcialmente plegado junto con la cobertura sedimentaria. En algunos casos lo cobertura ha sido despegada de su substrato y plegada independientemente.En general se aceptaba que las Sierras Subandinas coincidian con grandes anticlinales asimétricos producidos en la cobertura sedimentaria por el basculamiento de bloques rígidos de basamento situados en el subsuelo. La cartografía geológica-estructural detallada de la región comprendida por los paralelos 24° 45 y 26° S y los meridianos 64° 30 y 66° W ha proporcionado datos que permiten modificar considerablemente este esquema.Se ha comprobado la existencia de importantes fallas transcurrentes, fuertemente oblicuas con respecto a la estructura regional, que han tenido profunda influencia sobre la forma de los pliegues subandinos. Estas fallas oblicuas son probablemente lineamientos antiguos en los que el diastrofismo Andico (Plioceno-Pleistoceno) ha producido considerables desplazamientos paralelos al rumbo de los mismos.

Résumé Dans la bordure orientale des Andes du Nord-ouest de l'Argentine, deux unités structurales différentes sont présentes: les Sierras subandines et la Cordillère orientale.La Cordillère orientale est composée d'un socle faiblement métamorphique faillé en blocs fortement surélevés par rapport aux Sierras subandines. Dans la Cordillère orientale, ce socle métamorphique a été en partie plissé avec sa couverture sédimentaire; mais parfois celle-ci a été décolée de son substratum et plissé indépendentement.Jusqu'à présent, on admettait que les Sierras subandines sont constituées de grands anticlinaux assymétriques produits dans la couverture par l'ascension de blocs faillés du socle. La cartographie géologico-structurale detaillée de la région comprise entre les parallèles 24° 45 et 26° de latitude sud et les méridiens 64° 30 et 60° ouest conduit à modifier considérablement ce schéma.D'importants décrochements très obliques par rapport à la direction de la structure régionale et qui ont fortement influencé la forme des plis subandins sont probablement des accidents anciens rajeunis pendant le diastrophisme andin au cours du Pliocène supérieur et du Pléistocène inférieur.

西昆仑玛尔坎苏地区晚石炭世发育一套碎屑岩—碳酸盐岩建造,近期研究成果揭示其具有巨大的菱锰矿找矿前景而备受关注。通过对穆呼锰矿含锰岩系剖面测量、薄片鉴定、电子探针、扫描电镜、地球化学分析和碳酸盐岩锶同位素测试,对其进行碎屑岩—碳酸盐岩岩相划分与沉积环境分析。研究结果表明,含锰岩系可以识别出八种碎屑岩—碳酸盐岩岩相:泥灰岩相、砂屑灰岩相、微晶碳酸锰相、微晶—粉晶灰岩相、砾屑灰岩相、含砾砂屑灰岩相、钙质砂岩相、钙质砾岩相和3种岩相组合。结合矿体及其顶底板岩石地球化学和锶同位素特征,指示古海水温度平均22.68 ℃,属于亚热带区。含锰岩系为海水较浅的碎屑滨岸相和浅海陆棚相沉积,矿体顶底板处于海水相对较浅的氧化—弱还原环境,菱锰矿则形成于海水相对较深的浅海陆棚沉积洼地,处于还原沉积环境,与海底火山热液有关。     

柴达木盆地石炭系沉积相及其与烃源岩的关系

在实地观测柴达木盆地石炭系野外露头剖面岩性和生物特征的基础上,详细研究了柴达木盆地石炭系的沉积相类型及特征,探讨了石炭纪不同阶段的沉积演化以及沉积相对烃源岩发育的控制作用。柴达木盆地石炭系主要发育陆表海,可划分为三大沉积相:滨岸相、碳酸盐岩台地相、浅海陆棚相;六个亚相:浅滩亚相、潮坪亚相、沼泽亚相、开阔台地亚相、局限台地亚相、内陆棚亚相。石炭纪沉积演化经历了早石炭世两次海侵和晚石炭世的持续海侵,沉积环境由滨海向浅海过渡,以海陆交互沉积环境为主,大面积的海进使得北部山前局部地区出现地层超覆现象。沉积相控制了烃源岩的分布:柴达木盆地东北缘石炭系的潮坪亚相、浅海陆棚亚相广泛发育泥岩、炭质泥岩及碳酸盐岩,可作为有利的生烃源岩;柴西南缘下石炭统的局限台地亚相是碳酸盐台地上局部相对闭塞的地带,由于水体相对较深,水动能较低,沉积物中有机质丰富,也是有利的生烃源岩发育区。 
