中国晚寒武世长山期最大海泛事件及其全球对比意义

在华北地台寒武-奥陶系层序地层研究中发现了不同层序中的海绿石质凝缩层。长山期最大海泛凝缩层系以富钾海绿右的双层结构复合层系为特征,富集多种金属元素和磷、锰、K_2O为特点。长山期海泛事件具有全球对比意义。笔者已在北欧,北美及亚洲26个洲际剖面点发现了长山事件记录。详细的比较沉积学、微相、米级旋回和Fischer图解研究均证明长山期最大海泛事件系起因干二级与三、四级海平面变化周期复合叠加作用,形成时限为1.2-3Ma,最后提出长山期全球海泛事件的洲际模式。     

华北地台寒武纪沉积层序中关键地层单元──海绿石质凝缩层段

构成华北古克拉通盆地的中晚寒武世碳酸盐沉积层序及与三级海平面最大海泛期相关的海绿石质凝缩层段是一沉积速率极低、厚度较薄的海相沉积单元。笔者根据凝缩层段中海绿石矿物的Ｋ２Ｏ百分含量和其内部晶体结构划分出其演化级次和形成时限，得出研究区凝缩层段的形成时限为１０４－１０６年。它们与二级、三级海平面最大海泛滞后期相吻合。该成果对区域地层对比、层序划分、海平面升降史和盆地充填史的恢复起极为重要的作用。     

海绿石质凝缩层－克拉通盆地层序地层划分对比的关键──华北寒武系凝缩层的特征和含义

凝缩层（ＣＳ）是当代层序地层学和沉积学研究的热点之一。作者首次在华北地台寒武纪层序中发现了一系列海绿石质凝缩层（段）。文中重点论述了凝缩层的相带分布、地球化学及其特征自生海绿石的形成演化等，给出了一个克拉通盆地Ⅲ级海平面变化周期的层序地层、年代地层模型及其凝缩间断时间过程。富钾海绿石及其丰度是鉴定凝缩层、其时限和级别的最佳标准。本文从全球海平面变化观点给凝缩层赋予新定义。研究证明，海绿石质凝缩层是克拉通盆地识别最大海泛期和进行层序地层对比的关键。     

From Cycles to Sequences:Sequence Stratigraphy and Relative Sea Level Change for the Late Cambrian of the North China Platform

In the Late Cambrian, the North China Platform was a typical carbonate ramp platform. The Upper Cambrian of the northern part of the North China Platform is famous for the development of bioherm limestones and storm calcirudites and can be divided from bottom to top into the Gushan, Changshan and Fengshan formations. In this set of strata, the deep-ramp mudstone and marls and the shallow-ramp packstones and grainstones constitute many carbonate meter-scale cycles of subtidal type. More tidal-flat dolomites axe developed in the Upper Cambrian of the southern margin of the North China platform, in which limestone and dolomite beds also constitute many carbonate meter-scale cycles of the peritidal type. These cycles are marked by a variety of litho-facies successions. There are regularly vertical stacking patterns of meter-scale cycles in long-term third-order sequences, which is the key to discerning such sequences. Third-order sequence is marked by a particular sedimentary-facies succession that is the result of the environment-changing process of deepening and shoaling, which is genetically related to third-order sea level changes. Furthermore, four third-order sequences can be grouped in the Upper Cambrian of the North China Platform. The main features of these four third-order sequences in the northern part of the platform can be summarized as follows: firstly, sequence-boundaries are characterized by drowning unconformities; secondly, the sedimentary-facies succession is generally constituted by one from deep-ramp facies to shallow-ramp facies; thirdly, a succession of “CS (?) HST” (i.e., “condensed section and highstand system”) forms these four third-order sequences. The chief features for the third-order sequences in the southern part of the North China Platform comprises: more dolomites are developed in the HSTs of third-order sequences and also developed more carbonate meter-scale cycles of peritidal types; the sedimentary-facies succession of the third-order sequences is marked by “shallow ramp-tidal flat”; the sequence boundaries are characterized by exposure punctuated surfaces. According to the changes for the third-order sequences from the north to the south, a regular sequence-stratigraphic framework can be established. From cycles to sequences, the study of sequence stratigraphy from litho-facies successions to sedimentary-facies successions exposes that as follows: meter-scale cycles that are used as the basic working unit actually are litho-facies successions formed by the mechanism of a punctuated aggradational cycle, and third-order sequences that are constituted by regularly vertical stacking patterns of meter-scale cycles are marked by sedimentary-facies successions. On the basis of the changing curve of water depth at each section, the curve of the relative third-order sea level changes in the late Cambrian of the North China Platform can be integrated qualitatively from changing curve of water depth. The correlation of Late Cambrian long-term sea level changes between North China and North America demonstrates that there are not only similarities but also differences, reflecting control of long-term sea level changes both by global eustacy and by regional factors.     

Early cambrian carbon isotope stratigraphy in the tarim basin and a correlation with the yangtze platform

Carbon isotope chemostratigraphy has been used worldwide for stratigraphic correlation.In this study,δ13Ccarb values are estimated for the Early Cambrian Sugaitebulake section in the Tarim Basin,Xinjiang Autonomous Region,China.As a result,one positive and two negative carbon isotope excursions in the studied section were iden-tified.The δ13Ccarb values reached the maximum negative excursion(N1:-12.39‰) at the basal of the Yuertusi For-mation,and then increased to P1.After P1,δ13Ccarb values sharply decreased to about-7.06‰(N2) in the studied section.The pattern of δ13Ccarb in the Early Cambrian is comparable to the synchronous records of other sections,such as the Laolin section,the Xiaotan section and the Anjiahe section of the Yangtze Platform.It is concluded that the Early Cambrian Yuertusi Formation from the Tarim Basin is within the Nemakit-Daldynian stage,and the lower strata of the Yuertusi Formation may belong to the Zhujiaqing Formation(Meishucun Formation) of the Yangtze Platform.The Ediacaran/Cambrian boundary of the Tarim Block should be located in cherts and phosphorites suc-cessions at the basal of the Yuertusi Formation.The δ13Ccarb negative excursion N1 is just across the PC/C boundary,and may be related to certain biomass extinction due to anoxic sedimentary environment,transgression and/or the oceanic overturn.The second δ13Ccarb negative excursion N2 may account for the sea-level falling in the Early Cam-brian.     

Magnetostratigraphy of the Middle–Upper Cambrian Verkhnyaya Lena Group and Lower Ordovician Ust-Kut formation in the southern Siberian Platform

The available paleomagnetic data on the Verkhnyaya Lena Group from different areas of the southern Siberian Platform are revised. The group rests unconformably upon the Lower Cambrian strata and is overlain by Lower Ordovician rocks, which determines conditionally the age of its red-colored deposits. Paleomagnetic correlation of composite sections through the region using defined zones of normal and reversed magnetic polarity serves as a basis for development of the magnetostratigraphic scale for the Verkhnyaya Lena Group. The scale includes nine magnetic zones, which play the role of markers; seven of them are traceable in all the examined sections of the southern Siberian Platform. By the distribution of zones with normal (N) and reversed (R) polarity, the magnetostratigraphic scale is subdivided into three parts. Its lower part is represented by reversed polarity, which is characteristic of the second half of the Lower Cambrian. The middle part is characterized by frequently alternating zones with normal and reversed polarity corresponding to the Middle Cambrian. The upper part of the scale corresponds to the interval of reversed polarity characteristic of the Upper Cambrian and Lower Ordovician. The Middle–Upper Cambrian boundary is located near the last N–R reversal of the geomagnetic field in the Cambrian. The magnetostratigraphic scale includes nine orthozones united into three superzones, which are attributed to two hyperzones of magnetic polarity.     

A review of the Cambrian of China

The sedimentary history and biostratigraphy of China during the Cambrian Period are broadly discussed within the framework of major tectonic divisions of the country. Five platform domains (North China Platform, southwest China Platform, Chiangnan Belt, Tarim Platform, and Tsaidem Platform) and five eugeosynclinal belts (South Tibet‐western Yunnan Belt, Tienshan‐Altai‐Great Khingan Geosyncline, Chilian Geosyncline, Kunlun‐Tibet‐western Yunnan Geosyncline and Southeast China Geosyncline) are recognised and discussed individually. A zonal scheme for Chinese Cambrian biostratigraphy is provided and the problems of the Precambrian to Cambrian, Cambrian to Ordovician and also the series boundaries are discussed. International correlation of the Cambrian of China, especially with Australia, is outlined in some detail.     

中国南方寒武纪岩相古地理

中国南方是指西至金沙江-元江断裂、西北至龙门山断裂、北至城口-房县-襄樊-广济断裂、东北至郯庐断裂、东至黄海和东海、南至南海的我国南方广大地区。在各露头剖面和钻井剖面地层学和岩石学研究所取得的各种定量及定性资料的基础上,采用单因素分析综合作用法,编制出了中国南方下寒武统下部和中部、下寒武统上部、中寒武统和上寒武统的各种单因素图以及相应的早寒武世早期和中期、早寒武世晚期、中寒武世和晚寒武世岩相古地理图。这些古地理图的最主要特征是定量,即每个古地理单元的划分和确定都有确切的定量的单因素图为依据。这种定量的岩相古地理图在中国南方寒武纪还是首次出现。中国南方寒武纪有7个主要的古地理单元,即滇西台地、康滇陆、扬子台地、斜坡、江南盆地、东南台地和华夏陆。滇西台地、康滇陆、扬子台地、斜坡和江南盆地属康滇古地理体系,东南台地和华夏陆属华夏古地理体系。这两个古地理体系拼合在一起,就构成了中国南方寒武纪的两陆、三台、一盆和一坡和古地理的基本格局。是寒武世早期和中期的岩相古地理特征与早寒武世晚期、中寒武世和晚寒武世岩相古地理特征有明显的不同。这是两个大不相同的演化阶段。这种定量的岩相古地理图在古地理学中是个重大的进展,对石油、天然气以及其他各种矿产的预测和勘探有重要的指导作用。     

Oceanographic and eustatic control of carbonate platform evolution and sequence stratigraphy on the Cretaceous (Valanginian–Campanian) passive margin,northern Gulf of Mexico

An integrated sequence stratigraphic study based on outcrop, core and wireline log data documents the combined impact of Cretaceous eustacy and oceanic anoxic events on carbonate shelf morphology and facies distributions in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The diverse facies and abundant data of the Comanche platform serve as a nearly complete global reference section and provide a sensitive record of external processes affecting Cretaceous platform development. Regional cross‐sections across the shoreline to shelf‐margin profile provide a detailed record of mixed carbonate–siliciclastic strata for the Hauterivian to lower Campanian stages (ca 136 to 80 Ma). The study window on the slowly subsiding passive margin allows the stratigraphic response to external forcing mechanisms to be isolated from regional structural processes. Three second‐order supersequences comprised of eight composite sequences are recognized in the Valanginian–Barremian, the Aptian–Albian and the Cenomanian–Campanian. The Valanginian–Barremian supersequence transitioned from a siliciclastic ramp to carbonate rimmed shelf and is a product of glacial ice accumulation and melting, as well as variable rates of mid‐ocean ridge volcanism. The Aptian–Albian supersequence chronicles the drowning and recovery of the platform surrounding oceanic anoxic events 1a and 1b. The Cenomanian–Campanian supersequence similarly documents shelf drowning following oceanic anoxic event 1d, after which the platform evolved to a deep‐subtidal system consisting of anoxic/dysoxic shale and chalk in the time surrounding oceanic anoxic event 2. Each period of oceanic anoxia is associated with composite sequence maximum flooding, termination of carbonate shelf sedimentation and deposition of condensed shale units in distally steepened ramp profiles. Composite sequences unaffected by oceanic anoxic events consist of aggradational to progradational shelves with an abundance of grain‐dominated facies and shallow‐subtidal to intertidal environments. Because they are products of eustacy and global oceanographic processes, the three supersequences and most composite sequences defined in the south Texas passive margin are recognizable in other carbonate platforms and published eustatic sea‐level curves.

Biotic characteristics of the Sinian-Cambrian boundary beds in China and the boundary problems

There is general agreement that the first appearance of various small shelly fossils should be used to help delineate the beginning of the Cambrian Period. The history of research on this stratigraphic topic in China is briefly outlined and leads on to a discussion of the boundary problem in the light of information available both inside and outside China.The sections across the Precambrian—Cambrian (Sinian—Cambrian) boundary are described with notes on fossils in: (1) Tianzhushan section, Yichang, Hubei; (2) Maidiping section, Emli, Sichuan; (3) Wangjiawan section, Jinning County, Yunnan; and (4) Kunyang section, Yunnan.This is followed by a consideration of the biotic characteristics of Sinian—Cambrian Period. The history of research on this stratigraphic topic in China is briefly outlined and leads on to a discussion of the boundary problem in the light of information available both inside and outside China. This is followed by a consideration of the biotic characteristics of Sinian—Cambrian boundary beds, with respect to stratigraphy as well as organic evolution. The Precambrian—Cambrian boundary in China is estimated to have an age of 615 ± 20 Ma.It is commented that the above sections are qualified to be important candidates for the selection of the Sinian—Cambrian boundary stratotype and are also important working reference sections for the international Precambrian—Cambrian boundary stratotype.     

Pb-Pb dating of black shales from the Lower Cambrian and Neoproterozoic strata, South China

Black shales occur widely in the Lower Cambrian and Neoproterozoic strata on the Yangtze Platform, South China. In this study, Lower Cambrian black shales from Xiuning section and Late Neoproterozoic black shales from Weng’an section were studied and Pb isotopic compositions were analyzed following a stepwise acid-leaching technique. The ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios in both sections show large variations, from 18.906 to 43.737 in the Weng’an section and from 24.811 to 38.110 in the Xiuning section. In contrast, the ranges for ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb values in both sections are relatively smaller from 15.649 to 17.126 and 37.744-38.199 in the Weng’an section, and from 16.034 to 16.783 and 38.602-39.391 in the Xiuning section, respectively. These data yielded two Pb isotope isochron ages of 536±39 and 572±36 Ma, respectively. These ages well accord with other published data and we suggest that they represent the depositional ages for the Lower Cambrian Hetang Formation and the upper Neoproterozoic Doushantuo Formation in South China.     

Conodonts from the Cambrian–Ordovician boundary interval in the southeast margin of the Sichuan Basin,China

Conodonts from the Cambrian–Ordovician transition at the Liangcun section in Xishui County, Guizhou and at the Huangcao section in Wulong County, Chongqing are examined for the first time. Both sections are located at the southeast margin of the Sichuan Basin. A total of 1367 specimens were recovered, representing 30 species and 15 genera. Based on the ranges of conodonts generalized from these two sections and another six sections previously studied in the same region, three conodont zones, Cordylodus proavus, Monocostodus sevierensis and Cordylodus angulatus zones are recognized. The index species of the Cambrian–Ordovician boundary at the global stratotype section and point (GSSP), Iapetognathus fluctivagus and its substitute in China Iapetognathus jilinensis are not observed in the study sections, therefore it is impossible to determine the Cambrian–Ordovician boundary exactly. However, it probably lies within the lower part of M. sevierensis zone (the upper part of the Loushanguan Group), correlating with the GSSP in Canada and the Dayangcha section in China. Chronological sequences of the FAD (First Appearance Datum) of C. angulatus, Chosonodina herfurthi and Rossodus manitouensis are not obvious in the study, so the C. angulatus zone here is correlated with zones defined by C. angulatus, Ch. herfurthi and R. manitouensis in the lower Yangtze Platform.     

重庆秀山寒武系锶同位素演化曲线及全球对比

本文评述了国际上已有的寒武纪海相碳酸盐的锶同位素演化曲线，公布了重庆秀山寒武系海相碳酸盐的锶同位素分析结果，尽管对样品进行了成岩蚀变检测和必要的筛选，但样品仍可能不同程度地经历了成岩蚀变，锶同位素组成与地层厚度投点图显得较为离散，笔者主要利用87Sr/86Sr比值较低的样品建立的寒武纪海水的锶同位素演化曲线在长期旋回上与国际上已公布的同时代锶同位素演化曲线仍具有较好相似性和可比性，说明全球事件是海水锶同位素组成的主要控制因素，海水的87Sr/86Sr比值在盆内对比，盆间对比，以及全球对比中都具有潜在价值。根据锶同位素地层学的基本原理，笔者尝试确定了重庆秀山寒武纪剖面一些关键点的年龄，累积厚度1340m处的年龄为503－509Ma，累积厚度1950m处的年龄为496－498Ma，这对秀山寒武纪剖面下，中寒武统和中、上寒武统界线的确定具有参考价值。     

安徽淮北地区寒武系“崮山阶”—凤山阶新知

根据三叶虫Acanthometopus obesus、Trianguraspis nodus、Petalocephalus laevis、Taishaniasp.等的发现,将淮北地区捻山剖面原属凤山阶的地层划归长山阶,以Acanthometopus带作为该区长山阶最顶部的三叶虫带,淮北地区凤山阶与长山阶的界线应在Ptychaspis-Tsinania带与Acanthometopus带之间;通过与标准剖面及邻近地区的对比,淮北地区的崮山组应予解体,原崮山组上部与炒米店组岩性一致,应划入炒米店组,其下部岩性与张夏组一致,应划入张夏组,淮北地区无崮山组。淮北地区的炒米店组跨越了整个长山阶和凤山阶中下部,据岩性差异可分为上、下两段;炒米店组在华北地区具有明显的穿时性,其底界从长山阶底界跨至凤山阶顶界。     

中国中奥陶世岩相古地理

本文是中国早、中、晚寒武世和早奥陶世岩相古地理诸文的继续。在笔者等的华北地区、华南地区和西北地区寒武纪和奥陶纪定量岩相古地理研究及编图成果的基础上,结合其他地区（主要是蒙兴地区、昆仑秦岭地区、西藏地区、海南岛地区和台湾地区）的地质资料,编制出了中国中奥陶世岩相古地理图,并撰写出本文。华北地区、华南地区和西北地区的研究程度较高,其岩相古地理图和文字论述都是定量的。其他地区的研究程度较低,其岩相古地理图和相应的文字论述则是定性的和概略性的。中国中奥陶世岩相古地理的基本格局仍和早奥陶世的一样为“两槽和三台相间分布”。两槽即天山北山蒙辽吉槽地和昆仑秦岭槽地,三台即准噶尔蒙兴台地、塔里木柴达木华北台地和西藏华南台地。但是这些古地理单元及其次级古地理单元的特征却与早奥陶世的有所不同或大不相同。

河北承德路通沟剖面寒武系层序地层划分

层序地层学是地层学研究中的第三次革命,其强调年代地层框架内的沉积相关系和地层结构。河北路通沟剖面寒武系地层连续,层序界面清楚而独特,沉积现象丰富,是进行华北地台寒武系层序地层划分的典型地点之一。该剖面岩相类型以泥晶灰岩、鮞粒灰岩及白云岩为主,发育潮坪相、颗粒滩相、缓坡相及陆棚相等沉积相。在新的年代地层框架下,依据沉积相的垂向叠加样式及其反映的长周期旋回特征,将路通沟剖面寒武系划分为9个三级层序,以第三统徐庄组组成的三级层序(TST+CS+HST)为界,整个沉积序列从混积潮坪相沉积变为缓坡型碳酸盐岩沉积,层序也从以"TST+HST"为主的沉积序列转变为以"CS+HST"为特征的淹没不整合型层序序列。芙蓉统中众多的叠层石生物丘暗示:寒武系末期贫乏骨骼的风暴海洋中微生物碳酸盐岩随后生动物辐射也在增加的特殊沉积现象。基于沉积相叠置方式及旋回特征对路通沟剖面寒武系的层序地层研究,将为探索华北地台东北部广泛分布的寒武系地层的层序划分提供一个典型的实例,为今后大范围的追索和对比提供更多的思考途径。     

A New Fauna——Qinghezhen Fauna——from the Northern Margin of the North China Platform

In the Inner Mongolia axis and Jiaoliao anteclise along the northern margin of the North China Platform.it has been found that the strata formerly considered as Archaean and Proterozoic are in fact an ophiolite suitesimilar to the Early Palaeozoic Ondor Sum Group in the Northern Geosyncline region of China. The stratahave been named in northern Liaoning as the Qinghezhen Group. The emphasis of this paper is on the discus-sion of the simall shelly fossils found in the siliceous rocks in the upper part of the Qinghezhen Group. Thisophiolite suite stretches in an E-W direction for about 1000 km along the northern margin of the North ChinaPlatform. in which 15 fossil localities with stable stratigraphic horizons have been discovered. In this paper. 4types. 7 genera (including 5 new ones) and 10 species (including 8 new ones and 1 new subspecies) aredescribed, which are collectively referred to as the Qinghezhen Fauna. The characteristics of these fossils are:shell form simple. the maximum length not exceeding 4 mm. with obvious shell wall and wall ornaments. TheQinghezhen Fauna is comparable in shell structure of some genera and species with the Meishucun Fauna inSouth China, but differs from the latter in having only monotonous fossil groups developed in a distinctly va-ried ecological environment. The two faunas may belong to the same evolutionary stage of the Early Cambrianbut have developed parallelly in different regions. The existence of the Qinghezhen Fauna represents an impor-tant biological event in the Early Cambrian in the Northern Geosyncline region of China. The discovery of theQinghezhen Fauna will bring new knowledge and profound influence to a series of problems on basic geologyand mineral deposit prospecting such as the Cambrian faunas. biogeographical povincialism in China and thegeotectonic features of the northern margin of the North China Platform.     

北京西山下苇甸第三统/芙蓉统界线附近碳酸盐岩地球化学特征及古环境意义

芙蓉世早期全球发生的生物绝灭事件与该时期古环境的变化可能存在着密切联系,但未有定论;相对于深水相区,浅水台地沉积物地球化学特征对古环境的变化有着更敏感的响应,有利于深化这一问题的理解。选取北京西山下苇甸剖面第三统崮山组和芙蓉统长山组碳酸盐岩沉积为研究对象,通过元素地球化学和同位素的分析,重建这一时期古环境的变迁过程,并探讨其与生命演化的关系。结果表明:崮山组和长山组沉积更替时期,古气候和古海洋环境有大的波动。海水由海平面低点快速海侵,水体还原性急剧增强,海水温度降至最低点,盐度升高至最高点,可能这是三叶虫生态崩溃及其灭绝的重要原因。长山组早期干热气候和温湿气候交替频繁,大规模海侵促使陆源碎屑物质输入的增加,海水中营养元素的富集促进了生物勃发;同时深水的还原性条件有利于有机质的保存,最终导致碳酸盐岩碳同位素的正漂。研究还表明,这次碳同位素正漂的发生与长山中晚期海平面的下降没有明显的成因联系。
