渤海湾盆地埕北低凸起及围区古近系“源-汇”系统控砂原理定量分析*

埕北低凸起及围区发育完整的“源-汇”系统。在“源-汇”思想的指导下,利用录井、测井、取心、三维地震等基础资料,在精细刻画埕北低凸起及围区沉积体系类型及特征的基础上,定量探讨了“源-汇”系统各要素之间的耦合关系。研究表明: 古近纪,埕北低凸起基岩类型主要为中生界碎屑岩,源区内共发育9个有效物源区;埕北低凸起共识别出15条古沟谷型和2条断槽型输砂通道,其中古沟谷型输砂通道可细分为U型、V型及W型;埕北低凸起及围区陡坡带发育扇三角洲、半深湖—深湖沉积,扇三角洲平面上呈朵状展布,各扇体之间不连通,而缓坡带除局部构造早期发育扇三角洲外,整体发育辫状河三角洲、滨浅湖、半深湖—深湖等沉积,平面分布范围广,呈连片叠合分布;“源-汇”系统各要素定量分析表明,汇区沉积体面积及形态与有效物源区面积、沟谷的长、宽、宽深比等参数密切相关;从“源-汇”耦合模式分析认为,有效物源区面积控制沉积体系发育规模,输砂通道控制沉积体系的优势展布方向及形态。     

南海北部古河流演变对欧亚大陆东南缘早新生代古地理再造的启示

欧亚大陆东南缘早新生代古地理演变包含了华南沿海中生代山脉的逐步消减与南海的逐步扩张形成等重大事件。南海北部始新统—下中新统“源-汇”路径研究发现,南海沉积物物源在该时期发生了巨大改变。在始新世和早渐新世,源自南海西部古隆起的“昆—莺—琼”河流系统向南海东部地区输送了大量沉积物,包括珠二坳陷在内的南海北部南侧大部分地区受南海西部物源的控制,仅在珠一坳陷接受来自华南大陆珠江的沉积物;晚渐新世,南海西部物源逐步被北部珠江物源取代;到早中新世,珠江来源沉积物全面越过番禺低凸起进入珠二坳陷,大量来自华南内陆的沉积物被珠江运输至南海盆地,“昆—莺—琼”古河流进一步萎缩,仅在南海西部琼东南盆地分布,并且由西向东沉积物源区昆嵩地块逐渐被海南岛取代。南海西部自晚中新世以来发育的中央峡谷正是该古河流的残余。南海新生代早期“昆—莺—琼”河流系统的发现及珠江演变过程的构建,对于深刻认识该地区新生代早期古地理特征、整个欧亚大陆东南缘的古地貌重建以及盆地的油气勘探均具有重要意义。     

碎屑岩沉积从源到汇的“物-坡”耦合效应*

碎屑岩沉积体系的三维展布特征及其成因机制是建立沉积模式与预测其砂体分布的关键,更是沉积学研究的关键性科学问题。国内外绝大多数学者认为其平面形态和剖面充填型式均与其沉积的地形坡度、粒度粗细有密切的联系,但其定量关系并不清楚。建立不同类型沉积体中粒度和坡度之间的定量关系,对于预测沉积体中不同颗粒的运动方式及其分布至关重要。应用“源-汇”系统研究的思路,分析了供源区、搬运(输送)区及汇积区各自的地质特点,从单向水流对不同质量颗粒在静止/运动中的受力分析与沉积前总体地形斜坡设定2个角度,系统分析、推导并模拟了不同碎屑颗粒在纵向剖面上的运动轨迹,其表现为随着设定的坡型呈抛物线变化,反映出沉积物输送营力的变换及其随坡度变化的响应特征。建立了陆相碎屑岩沉积体系纵向剖面的流速与坡度的计算方程,明确指出沉积物的流速或流态决定其沉积方式,阐述了汇积区碎屑颗粒的加积型式与沉积物分布上的总体规律,由此提出碎屑岩沉积体系的“物-坡”耦合效应及其主要内涵,并从多个维度与源-汇的各区段,阐述了“物-坡”耦合效应在各种沉积体系的沉积物类型及其空间形态特征上的地质响应。     

东北印度洋源汇过程及古环境与古季风演化

东北印度洋地理位置独特,其沉积物记录了青藏高原隆升及孟加拉扇的“源-汇”过程、印度季风与东亚季风的“海-气”交互作用、印-太暖池热传输的演变与高纬气候之间的相位关系等关键信息,是喜马拉雅地区“构造-气候-沉积”耦合演化的良好记录载体,是探讨多圈层相互作用、探索古气候与古环境演化的理想“窗口”。本文系统总结了近年来有关东北印度洋季风与表层环流特征、沉积物组成及物源、气候环境演化以及环境磁学记录等方面的研究进展。分析表明,东北印度洋为典型的季风风场,表层环流受季风影响强烈,夏季和冬季环流差异明显。沉积物类型丰富,包括河流输运而来的陆源碎屑、钙质和硅质为主的生物沉积以及火山物质等。但目前对于该区域的沉积物的具体组成、“源-汇”过程、迁移历史、季风演化与青藏高原隆升、高纬气候变化之间相互关系等方面的认识尚存在较大的分歧。同时,受样品获取难度大、磁学信号稀释严重等因素的限制,环境磁学作为一种在示踪沉积物物质来源、恢复古气候和古环境等方面被普遍认可的技术手段,在东北印度洋区并没有得到充分的发挥与应用。因此,未来需要在前人研究的基础上,将目光向东北印度洋更南、更深处延伸,对其“源-汇”过程进行全面分析。在研究方法上进一步拓展,采用更高精度的技术手段提取磁学信号,加大环境磁学的应用,寻找有效的替代性指标,解决该地区季风演化、古海洋环境变化等气候环境问题,为该地区环境气候研究提供新认识。并尝试开展地磁场长期变化(paleosecular variation, PSV)研究,建立东北印度洋的PSV记录,辅助修正全球地磁场模型,探究地球深部动力过程。     

华北南缘中元古界高山河群碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学及其地质意义*

为了探讨华北板块南缘中元古代沉积地层的时代归属和物质来源、区域古地理格局和大地构造特征,对豫西灵宝福地地区的高山河群进行碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学和锆石微量元素特征研究。获得的高山河群年龄最小(年轻)的单颗碎屑锆石 ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb 年龄值为1685±39 Ma,从而限制了高山河群最早沉积年龄不早于1700 Ma。结合上覆的龙家园组年代学标定(1594±12 Ma),将高山河群的形成年代限定为1700—1600 Ma,即中元古代长城纪的中晚期,属国际地质年表的“固结纪”。高山河群中碎屑锆石 ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb 年龄范围为1685—2751 Ma,呈现1850 Ma、2150 Ma、2300 Ma和2500 Ma共4个年龄峰值,对应于华北克拉通古元古代重要的地质事件,并且高山河群以1850 Ma和2500 Ma峰值年龄段的地质体为主要的物源区。根据高山河群与云梦山组碎屑锆石年龄频率对比,推测在豫西地区西侧存在以往报道较少的年龄为2500 Ma的地质体。根据熊耳群火山岩及其对应锆石的地球化学特征和熊耳期盆地动力学性质,并结合高山河群沉积相特征和沉积盆地构造属性,认为熊耳群形成于与“岛弧”共生的拉张性质的弧后盆地地区,而其上覆的高山河群为弧后盆地靠近大陆一侧的具有被动大陆边缘性质的滨浅海沉积。     

扬子西缘鹤庆—洱源地区晚二叠世—晚三叠世盆-山演化的沉积记录

鹤庆—洱源地区位于扬子板块西缘,西邻“三江”结合带,晚二叠世—晚三叠世经历了完整的盆-山转换过程。通过分析该区地层岩性组合及沉积环境,结合构造事件,厘清了区内盆-山转换的时间格架及各阶段盆地沉积响应。研究结果表明: 区内盆地演化可分为陆内裂谷盆地、坳陷盆地和前陆盆地3个阶段; 裂谷盆地阶段沉积形成了巨厚的玄武岩沉积; 坳陷盆地阶段依次沉积了青天堡组碎屑岩、北衙组灰岩和白云岩; 前陆盆地阶段形成了中窝组和松桂组不整合界面及粗碎屑砾岩。研究成果对研究扬子西缘和“三江”特提斯构造带盆-山演化具有重要的科学意义。     

赣东北樟树墩早侏罗世水北组碎屑锆石研究及其地质意义

赣东北樟树墩地区早侏罗世盆地处于江南造山带东南缘,揭示盆地沉积物质来源对于认识和探讨周缘早中生代造山事件和古地理格局具有重要意义。对樟树墩早侏罗世盆地开展了岩相学、碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学和Lu-Hf同位素研究。结果表明: 盆地为类磨拉石建造与内陆湖沼含煤建造,碎屑锆石年龄跨度大(2 431~263 Ma),未出现同沉积或准同沉积的碎屑锆石; 碎屑锆石年龄呈现极强的早古生代峰值(420~380 Ma,ε_Hf(t)为-10.7~-3.0, T_DM^C为2.08~1.58 Ga)、弱的新元古代峰值(858~663 Ma,ε_Hf(t)为-18.8~-6.7, T_DM^C为2.79~2.09 Ga)和晚古生代峰值(370~355 Ma),另有少量早中生代((263±5) Ma)、中—古元古代(2 431~1 224 Ma)碎屑锆石记录。碎屑锆石年龄和Hf同位素组成与华夏地块西北武夷山地区所出露地质体组成相似,而与扬子东南缘地质体组成存在显著差异,其碎屑物质主要来自陆内西北武夷山地区前寒武纪基底和古生代地质体,少量碎屑物质可能来源于浙西北地区,具有被动型大陆边缘盆地沉积特征。综合区域上早中生代盆地研究成果,认为江南造山带东段景德镇—黄山东南在早—中侏罗世并未整体隆升剥蚀,华南内陆中生代的构造-岩浆活动是其周缘多板块俯冲汇聚的构造响应,晚三叠世—早侏罗世古太平洋板块向东亚大陆的俯冲造成华南东南部隆升,使其开始为内陆盆地提供物源,至早—中侏罗世之交构造体制转换为古太平洋板块的俯冲消减。     

珠江口盆地白云主洼古近系文昌组沉积充填特征及演化*

受制于钻井资料少及地质条件复杂,珠江口盆地白云主洼古近系文昌组三级层序格架内的沉积体系发育特征及沉积充填演化关系一直缺乏系统研究,严重制约着白云主洼深部地层的油气勘探。基于三维地震和钻井资料,采用层序原型结构剖面恢复、增强地震相分析、砂体地震扫描解释等新技术方法,重建白云主洼文昌组三级层序的沉积体系,并结合主洼构造演化特征,还原文昌组的沉积充填演化过程。结果表明: 白云主洼文昌组发育4个“源-汇”体系,分别为西北缓坡带纯陆源碎屑的大型辫状河三角洲—湖泊相沉积、东北斜坡带陆源与火山碎屑混源的大—中型辫状河三角洲—湖泊相沉积、西南轴向陡坡带纯陆源碎屑的近岸水下扇和扇三角洲—湖泊相沉积、东南陡坡带陆源与火山碎屑混源的小型近岸水下扇及扇三角洲—湖泊相沉积。白云主洼文昌组沉积时期的演化过程可大致分为河流(WCSQ1下段)、河流—湖泊(WCSQ1上段)、超深湖发育(WCSQ2下段)、超深湖早期充填(WCSQ2上段)、超深湖充填(WCSQ3、WCSQ4)、浅湖发育(WCSQ5)等6个发育阶段,湖盆经历了初始成盆、强烈断陷为超深湖、被大规模沉积充填为深湖—半深湖,最后直至充填为浅湖的沉积演化过程。     

鄂尔多斯盆地中东部奥陶系碳酸盐岩-膏盐岩体系沉积特征与天然气成藏潜力

鄂尔多斯中东部地区奥陶系马家沟组发育巨厚的碳酸盐岩与膏盐岩交互的沉积体系,但对其沉积发育的规律性及其内部天然气成藏聚集的基本地质特征尚未形成明确的认识。通过对奥陶系碳酸盐岩-膏盐岩体系形成时的构造与古地理背景、沉积特征、储层发育、烃源供给及圈闭聚集等方面的分析,形成新的观点与地质认识:(1)受盐洼周边古隆起影响,奥陶系碳酸盐岩-膏盐岩共生体系形成于与外部广海周期性隔绝的局限海蒸发环境,导致其岩性“相控”与“层控”分布特征极为显著;(2)首次提出“非层状沉积分异”的概念,并认为它是控制奥陶系内幕“溶孔型”储层发育的决定性因素;(3)受区域岩性相变及后期构造反转的控制,奥陶系盐下层系具有形成大区域分布的岩性圈闭体系的有利条件;(4)盐下层系虽自身的海相烃源岩生烃潜力有限,但由于燕山期东部构造抬升与西侧上古生界煤系烃源“供烃窗口”及膏盐封盖层区域性连续分布等要素密切配合,仍具有规模供烃、大区带成藏的潜力。     

中国南海西沙碳酸盐岩台地形成过程及控制因素:来自西科1井的地球化学证据

通过对南海西沙石岛已完钻的科学探井——西科1井进行岩性组合特征、元素地球化学、TEX86等多种指标分析,尝试恢复了西沙地区中新世以来海平面变化,讨论了碳酸盐岩台地形成发育的控制因素。发现受控于南海区域性构造事件及全球海平面变化的双重影响,西沙地区海平面呈现早中新世高—中中新世低—晚中新世到上新世高—第四纪低的变化趋势,海水温度从早中新世到上新世呈整体下降趋势。岩性组合特征揭示,西沙地区碳酸盐岩台地在早中新世开始发育,到中中新世逐渐繁盛,在中中新世末达到顶峰,形成了包含潟湖相在内的大型礁盘;在晚中新世—上新世由于海平面快速上升以及海水温度下降而逐渐衰退淹没,到第四纪进一步持续萎缩。研究发现,西沙地区在早中新世和晚中新世—上新世,出现2次较强的白云岩化作用,与海平面下降造成碳酸盐岩台地暴露剥蚀直接相关。西科1井揭示的碳酸盐岩台地的发育演化过程是南海新生代碳酸盐岩台地繁荣与消亡的代表,是南海新生代构造演化与全球气候变迁相互作用的综合结果。     

Sedimentology,stratigraphy and architecture of the Nicobar Fan (Bengal–Nicobar Fan System), Indian Ocean: Results from International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 362

Drill sites in the southern Bay of Bengal at 3°N 91°E (International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 362) have sampled for the first time a complete section of the Nicobar Fan and below to the oceanic crust. This generally overlooked part of the Bengal–Nicobar Fan System may provide new insights into uplift and denudation rates of the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau. The Nicobar Fan comprises sediment gravity-flow deposits, mostly turbidites, that alternate with hemipelagite drapes and pelagite intervals of varying thicknesses. The decimetre-thick to metre-thick oldest pre-fan sediments (limestones/chalks) dated at 69 Ma are overlain by volcanic material and slowly accumulated pelagites (0.5 g cm⁻² kyr⁻¹). At Expedition 362 Site U1480, terrigenous input began in the early Miocene at ca 22.5 Ma as muds, overlain by very thin-bedded and thin-bedded muddy turbidites at ca 19.5 Ma. From 9.5 Ma, sand content and sediment supply sharply increase (from 1–5 to 10–50 g cm⁻² kyr⁻¹). Despite the abundant normal faulting in the Nicobar Fan compared with the Bengal Fan, it offers a better-preserved and more homogeneous sedimentary record with fewer unconformities. The persistent connection between the two fans ceased at 0.28 Ma when the Nicobar Fan became inactive. The Nicobar Fan is a major sink for Himalaya-derived material. This study presents integrated results of International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 362 with older Deep Sea Drilling Project/Ocean Drilling Program/International Ocean Discovery Program sites that show that the Bengal–Nicobar Fan System experienced successive large-scale avulsion processes that switched sediment supply between the Bengal Fan (middle Miocene and late Pleistocene) and the Nicobar Fan (late Miocene to early Pleistocene). A quantitative analysis of the submarine channels of the Nicobar Fan is also presented, including their stratigraphic frequency, showing that channel size/area and abundance peaked at ca 2 to 3 Ma, but with a distinct low at 3 to 7 Ma: the intervening stratigraphic [sub]unit was a time of reduced sediment accumulation rates.     

Shift in detrital sedimentation in the eastern Bay of Bengal during the late Quaternary

Down-core variations of granulometric, geochemical and mineral magnetism of a 70-cm long sediment core retrieved from the eastern Bay of Bengal abyssal region were studied to understand sedimentation pattern and sediment provenance during the last ～12 kyr BP. Based on down-core physical and elemental variations, three units were identified: unit 3 (70–43 cm) is a ～30 cm thick clayey silt organic carbon-rich (0.5–0.92%) turbidite probably delivered by the Brahmaputra River during the late Quaternary period. Units 2 (43–24 cm) and 1 (24–0 cm) represent enhanced and reduced supply of coarse-grained detrital sediments from the Ganges River during early and late Holocene period, respectively. Increased terrigenous supply dilutes calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and biogenic elements (P, Ba and Cu) in units 3 and 2. On the contrary, a reduction in detrital input enhances CaCO₃ and biogenic elements in unit 1. Lithogenic elements (Ti, Al, K and Rb) and shale-normalized REE patterns in all three units suggest terrigenous source. The shift in provenance from the Brahmaputra to the Ganges derived sediments is evident by a sharp increase in sediment grain size, increased concentration and grain size assemblages of magnetic minerals, lithogenic elements concentration and La_n/Yb_n ratio. This study highlights terrigenous dilution on biogenic sedimentation in the eastern Bay of Bengal sediments.     

Constraining the links between the Himalayan belt and the Central Myanmar Basins during the Cenozoic:An integrated multi-proxy detrital geochronology and trace-element geochemistry study

Geological and tectonic analysis of the Eastern Himalayan basins has given rise to a decade-long debate on the geodynamic evolution of the Burmese terrane and on the extent of reorganization of the main SE Asia drainage systems.However,the influence of the Himalayan belt on the Central Myanmar Basin(CMB)system remains poorly documented,although it is key to providing more accurate models for the evolution of the Himalayan-Burmese orogen.In this contribution,we present geochronological,isotopic and geochemical analysis from 2500 zircon,1700 titanite,700 rutile and 850 apatite detrital grains from fifteen Cenozoic siliciclastic samples and one Cretaceous igneous rock.The samples were collected within the fore-and back-arc basins of the Central Myanmar Basin domain(CMB)to constrain the provenance,maximum depositional ages,and depositional environments of the west Burma terrane.Nine key lithological units,the Sadwingyi,Ketpanda,Wabo Chaung,Gwegon,Minwun,Padaung,Okmintaung and Irrawaddy formations have detrital age spectra spanning from the Miocene to Paleoarchean.The entire data set has common age peaks at ca.20,40,60,90,100 Ma,with about 80%of the U–Pb ages younger than ca.140 Ma and only ca.1%of the grains predating ca.3.0 Ga.Our results shed light on the current ambiguities on the transport pathways of Himalayan detritus in the CMB.They show that the fore-arc basin was open to the trench and fed by the unroofing of both the Wuntho Popa volcanic arc to the east and possibly from the Burmese basement and/or from Himalayan-derived Bengal Fan detritus to the west during the Eocene,from at least ca.44 Ma to before ca.39 Ma.We show that the west Burma Terrane was partitioned into pull-apart basins such as the Minwun Basin,which during the Oligocene recorded the first evidence of a new source contribution into the CMB at ca.27 Ma.This new source is characterized by detritus highly compatible with the SE Asia basement rocks,which we suggest corresponds to the initiation of the palaeo–Irrawaddy River.This geodynamic evolution does not require any Yarlung Tsangpo-Irrawaddy-Brahmaputra paleodrainage reorganization,since from the Oligocene to the Early Miocene,the Irrawaddy River fed an internally drained basin,and from the Late Miocene onwards,the Yarlung drained into the Brahmaputra in the Bengal Basin.     

晚新生代天山隆升与库车坳陷构造转换的沉积约束

对库车坳陷库车河剖面不同尺度沉积碎屑组分的系统分析发现 ,晚第三纪以来类磨拉石及其中不稳定碎屑矿物组合开始发育 ,并在中新世后发生显著增加。沉积体系研究表明 ,库车坳陷自白垩纪以来粗粒冲积体系前锋、沉积中心逐步向南迁移 ;但该规律自上新世开始发生了明显转变 ,表现为上新世库车组、上 -更新世西域组冲积体系整体大尺度南移 ,而沉积中心则相对北移 ,盆地北部沉积边界与现存盆山边界大致可以对比 ,并受到南倾同沉积正断裂的控制。对比天山区域构造、古气候演变资料 ,认为上述沉积记录是晚新生代强烈挤压应力作用下天山构造隆升加剧 ,并在上新世以后由于重力作用诱发库车坳陷 -天山浅部构造层伸展、坍塌的结果。对这一构造转换的认识修订了库车坳陷新生代构造调整的序列。     

Late Miocene–Pliocene eclogite facies metamorphism, D'Entrecasteaux Islands, SE Papua New Guinea

The D'Entrecasteaux Islands of south‐eastern Papua New Guinea are active metamorphic core complexes that formed within a region where the plate tectonic regime has transitioned from subduction to rifting. While rapid, post 4 Myr exhumation and cooling of amphibolite and greenschist facies rocks that constitute the footwall of the crustal scale detachment fault system have been previously documented on Fergusson and Goodenough Islands of the D'Entrecasteaux chain, the timing of eclogite facies metamorphism in rocks of the footwall was unknown. Recent work revealed that at least one of the eclogite bodies formed during the Pliocene. We present combined in situ ion microprobe U–Pb age analyses of zircon from five variably retrogressed eclogite samples from Fergusson and Goodenough Islands that document Late Miocene–Pliocene (8–2 Ma) eclogite formation on these islands. Textural relationships and zircon–garnet rare earth element partition coefficients indicate that U–Pb ages constrain zircon crystallization under eclogite facies conditions in all samples. Results suggest westward younging of eclogite facies metamorphism from Fergusson to Goodenough Island. Present‐day exposure of Late Miocene–Pliocene eclogites requires exhumation rates > 2.5 cm yr^?1.     

构造活动区特征源汇体系及古地理重建:以塔里木块体北缘记录“泛非”事件的碎屑锆石分析为例*

完整认识盆山沉积系统,这是古地理重建研究的必然趋势,其中从构造稳定区到构造活动区的特征源汇体系解析是重要环节。塔里木块体北缘活动区存在与“泛非”造山事件有关的岩浆和变质记录,但与这一特征构造-热事件有关的碎屑沉积记录以往在塔里木块体北缘及邻区却鲜有报道。主要针对塔里木块体北缘泥盆纪-石炭纪砂岩样品,文中开展了碎屑锆石原位地质年代学分析,结果表明下石炭统野云沟组砂岩碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄以新元古代中-晚期为主体,与“泛非”造山事件的持续时间较为一致,且此类沉积记录在该地区也是首次大量发现。相应的碎屑锆石的ε_Hf(t)值几乎全为负值,是古老陆壳熔融的产物。而野云沟组之下和之上的砂岩碎屑锆石均无“泛非”造山事件的明显信息。研究认为,泥盆纪南天山洋向南俯冲,导致塔里木块体北缘发育岛弧体系;至早石炭世维宪早期南天山洋盆闭合,相关块体拼贴-碰撞作用致使该区构造古地理转变,与“泛非”造山作用有关的结晶基底隆升和剥露,并成为野云沟组主要物源。晚石炭世随海平面上升和沉积超覆,塔里木块体北缘与“泛非”造山事件有关的结晶基底剥露终止。综合对比区域碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学数据发现,研究区其他显生宙地层中(除上奥统桑塔木组外)均未记录到明显的与“泛非”造山事件物源相关的碎屑沉积,可能说明现存的塔里木块体受“泛非”造山构造-热事件影响的范围有限,另一方面也说明相关基底岩石的剥露主要出现在早石炭世以及晚奥陶世。这些信息的揭示对于认识塔里木块体北部古生代古地貌、碎屑源汇体系与构造古地理具有重要意义。     

黄河上游物质在新近纪未流入晋陕峡谷*

河流的出现是其流域内构造活动和气候变化综合作用的结果。晋陕峡谷位于黄河上游和中游的衔接部位,对于研究上游黄河何时进入晋陕峡谷具有无可替代的地理位置优势。目前对于黄河何时进入晋陕峡谷一直存有较大争议,存在中新世、上新世和更新世几种主要观点。基于此,作者对晋陕峡谷北段新近纪地层开展碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄分析和沉积相观察。首次报道了磨扇沟、大烟墩、高家窨子3个剖面270颗碎屑锆石 U-Pb 年龄结果。通过和区域内潜在源区进行对比,以及古流向都是自东向西的现象,判定磨扇沟和大烟墩2个剖面的物质来自近源的吕梁山北段; 高家窨子剖面底部的砂岩流向为自南向北,其物源区来自鄂尔多斯地块北部中生代地层。结合这些地层已经报道的古地磁年龄,认为晋陕峡谷北段在6.2~3.7 Ma期间以近源堆积为主,是对青藏高原隆升远程效应和东亚夏季风增强的沉积响应,而和黄河上游物质不存在物源联系。     

西藏达金砾岩的沉积时代、物源及构造背景

达金砾岩出露于西藏阿里地区冈仁波齐峰南麓,因其地层中发现深海有孔虫化石而受到广泛关注,然而由于达金砾岩的沉积时代不确定,对其沉积的大地构造背景也没有统一的认识。本文中,根据最年轻的碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄限定达金砾岩的最大沉积时代为渐新世末-中新世初(24~27Ma)。综合野外观察,砂岩碎屑统计和碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄分析,本文认为达金砾岩的底部和顶部地层中碎屑物质直接来源于北侧的冈底斯弧,而其中部地层中碎屑物质(包括有孔虫化石)应再旋回自西侧的弧前盆地错江顶群地层。达金砾岩与上覆的冈底斯砾岩连续沉积,且其沉积时代,源区分析结果都与冈底斯砾岩一致,因此本文认为达金砾岩应隶属于冈底斯砾岩。达金砾岩地层变形较弱,产状近乎水平,应沉积于拉张应力背景下,可能与渐新世末-中新世初俯冲的印度板片的"折返"和"断离"有关。     

Geochemistry and detrital zircon U–Pb dating of Pliocene-Pleistocene sandstones of the Chittagong Tripura Fold Belt (Bangladesh): Implications for provenance

The Bengal Basin originated during the collision of India with Eurasia and Burma. The provenance analysis of the Chittagong Tripura Fold Belt (CTFB), which is the folded eastern flank of the Bengal Basin as well as the Neogene belt of the Indo-Burman Ranges (IBR) is key to better understand the possible sources of sediment input from the complex interplay of the Indian, Eurasian and Burma plates. We report new whole rock geochemical and detrital zircon U–Pb data from the upper Neogene sandstones of Tipam-Dupi Tila formations (Pliocene to Plio-Plestocene succession) from the CTFB. Detrital zircon U–Pb age spectra show three predominant peaks at <200 Ma, 480–650, ∼800–1000 Ma. The geochemical discriminations and elemental ratios of Eu/Eu* (∼0.70), La/Sc (∼16.13), La/Co (∼15.76), Th/Sc (∼2.95), La/Th (∼5.67), Th/Co (∼2.87), Cr/Th (∼4.63) as well as Chondrite-normalized REE patterns with flat HREE, LREE enrichment, and negative Eu anomalies for the Tipam and Dupi Tila formations are suggestive of a dominantly felsic source area experiencing moderate to intensive chemical weathering (Chemical index of alteration, CIA - 57 to 81) and have a recycled provenance orogen related to active continental or passive margin settings. Integrated geochemical and zircon U–Pb studies reveal that the main sediment input might have been from the Himalayan orogen with significant arc-derived detritus, possibly from the Gangdese arc as well as from the Burma magmatic arc.
