兰州盆地永登剖面晚古新世—早渐新世沉积物中粘土矿物的特征及其古气候指示意义

采用X射线衍射、扫描电镜分析方法,对兰州盆地永登剖面晚古新世—早渐新世沉积物中粘土矿物的相对含量、伊利石结晶度、显微形貌及其古气候意义进行深入研究。结果表明:晚古新世—早渐新世沉积物中粘土矿物主要为伊利石、蒙脱石、绿泥石和少量的坡缕石,其中伊利石的含量最高,而且从晚古新世到早渐新世,沉积物中伊利石的含量呈明显升高的趋势,蒙脱石则呈明显减少的趋势;在大约55 Ma处伊利石含量急剧减小,而蒙脱石含量急剧增大。此外,可见到毛发状的自生坡缕石沿蒙脱石晶片边缘交代生长,而碎屑成因的坡缕石则主要呈破碎的短棒状。粘土矿物分布特征表明,兰州盆地晚古新世—早渐新世的古气候以干旱为主导,并且经历了由相对温暖湿润到半干旱半湿润或干旱炎热的转变,这种气候转型主要受全球气候的影响,即受行星风系的控制;而在大约55 Ma处伊利石、蒙脱石的含量变化则记录了全球性的PETM事件。     

青藏高原东北缘循化盆地中中新世—早上新世黏土矿物及其古气候意义

青藏高原东北缘古气候可能受控于全球变冷、青藏高原隆升及局地地形变化的影响。为解析气候演化过程及驱动因素,本文以青藏高原东北缘循化盆地西沟剖面作为研究对象,在已有古地磁年龄约束基础上,分析了中中新世—早上新世沉积物中黏土矿物的组成和微观形貌特征。结果表明,西沟剖面沉积物中黏土矿物主要由伊利石、蒙脱石、绿泥石和高岭石组成,其中伊利石含量最高,平均为59. 3％;蒙脱石次之,平均为18. 2％,绿泥石平均含量为12. 3％,高岭石平均含量为10. 2％。根据剖面中黏土矿物含量和比值的变化特征,结合循化盆地西沟剖面的沉积速率、孢粉记录、有机质碳同位素和沉积岩地球化学比值,并与深海氧同位素值（δ18O）变化曲线对比,将循化盆地14. 6~5. 0 Ma气候环境演化划分为3个阶段：14. 6~12. 7 Ma,气候干冷期,与北半球冰盖扩展引发的全球性降温事件有关;12. 7~8. 0 Ma,气候相对温暖湿润期,可能与循化盆地周围山体隆升有关,即积石山在~12. 7 Ma隆升至临界高度,成为西风带输送水汽的地形屏障,使得循化盆地内的降水增强;8. 0~5. 0 Ma,气候再次转向干冷期,该阶段气候的干旱化对应于青藏高原在8 Ma左右的快速隆升,高原进一步的隆升阻碍东亚季风西风带的暖湿气流向内陆的输送,从而引起区域干旱化。     

青藏高原东北部西宁盆地晚渐新世-早中新世沉积物岩石磁学特征及其古环境意义

文章通过对西宁盆地谢家剖面上部(620~819m)厚度190m,有精确年代控制且无明显相变的晚渐新世-早中新世的湖相沉积物样品的磁化率系统测量,建立了该区晚渐新世-早中新世高分辨率的磁化率变化序列,揭示高、低频磁化率在约25Ma和21Ma存在两次明显的台阶式长期增大趋势,并在约23.8Ma,21.6Ma和19.8Ma叠加短期峰值,在时间上可能分别对应全球此时的长期变冷趋势及全球性Mi-1.1事件、Mi-1a事件和Mi-1aa事件短暂快速变冷事件,而频率磁化率记录几乎没有变化。代表性样品的系列岩石磁学分析,揭示出沉积物的载磁矿物主要为假单畴(PSD)的磁铁矿,同时可能还存在赤铁矿和针铁矿; 磁化率增大主要由假单畴磁铁矿的含量增多引起,而不是通常情况下的成壤作用形成的超顺磁颗粒的增多引起,推测青藏高原东北部隆升导致的侵蚀增强,或干旱化,或两者兼并,可能是导致西宁盆地上述磁化率增强的原因。     

循化盆地晚渐新世-早中新世沉积物中黏土矿物特征及其古气候指示意义

采用X射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜分析方法,对青海循化盆地晚渐新世-早中新世沉积物中黏土矿物的微观形貌、体积分数、结晶度及其古气候指示作用进行了深入的研究。分析结果表明,晚渐新世盆地沉积物中的黏土矿物主要为蒙脱石、伊利石、坡缕石和绿泥石,以蒙脱石为主,指示循化地区总体为相对温暖潮湿的气候条件,蒙脱石、伊利石和绿泥石相对体积分数及伊利石、蒙脱石结晶度值均出现明显的周期性波动,表明循化地区气候经历了干旱-温暖潮湿交替的变化;早中新世盆地沉积物中的黏土矿物主要为伊利石、蒙脱石和绿泥石,以伊利石为主,各黏土矿物体积分数及伊利石、蒙脱石结晶度值的变化范围不大,表明循化地区气候以相对持续冷干为特征。从晚渐新世到早中新世,气候条件由相对温暖潮湿到相对冷干的转变,揭示其间(约21.3Ma)出现了一次极端的降温事件,可能与青藏高原隆升及亚洲沙漠化密切相关。

甘肃兰州盆地渐新世古气候参数重建

本文对甘肃兰州盆地渐新统韩家井组的9科11属20种植物化石进行了共存分析,重建了该地区渐新世古气候各参数:年均温(MAT)为-1.4℃～10.9℃,最热月均温(MWT)为9.6℃～27.3℃,最冷月均温(CMT)为-4.4℃～-12.5℃,年较差(DT)为28.0℃～29.8℃,年均降水量(MAP)为315.7～492.2mm,平均最大月降水量(MMaP)为70.5～93.5mm,平均最小月降水量(MMiP)为0.4～11.1mm。分析表明相对于当前气候来说,兰州盆地在渐新世时接近现今甘肃武山地区气候特征,降水量多,气候更加湿润。     

西藏伦坡拉盆地渐新世——中新世之交黏土矿物特征及其古气候意义

为揭示伦坡拉盆地渐新世—中新世之交黏土矿物蕴含的古气候信息,探讨其与青藏高原隆升及全球气候响应过程的关系,利用X射线衍射和荧光光谱分析对蒋日阿错剖面的黏土矿物特征进行了深入研究。结果表明:区内泥质岩中黏土矿物以伊/蒙混层矿物为主,伊利石次之,仅含有少量绿泥石和蒙脱石。黏土矿物的垂向组合特征显示伊利石和绿泥石含量在剖面下部低、上部高,伊/蒙混层含量与之相反,伊/蒙混层和伊利石在剖面中部呈明显波动变化,蒙脱石只出现在剖面中下部,可能为区域火山喷发产物在碱性环境中蚀变而成。伊利石结晶度变化于0.24°~0.48°,平均值为0.41°,表明样品未发生明显成岩蚀变,主微量元素比值指示研究区物源位置未发生较大改变,因此研究剖面黏土矿物特征可以有效反映伦坡拉盆地古气候演化过程。根据自生黏土矿物的习性指出伦坡拉盆地在渐新世—中新世之交出现了一次明显的降温事件,并且这次降温在青藏高原内部及周缘地区普遍存在,但造成这次降温事件的根本原因仍值得进一步探讨。     

临夏盆地晚渐新世沉积物中坡缕石的发现及其环境气候意义

为揭示临夏盆地晚渐新世沉积物的矿物组成对环境气候的指示意义, 利用X射线衍射和扫描电子显微分析方法, 对临夏盆地晚渐新世的沉积物的矿物组成以及坡缕石的矿物学特征进行了深入的研究.结果表明, 沉积物中的坡缕石主要为自生成因, 极少量具有碎屑成因.自生成因的坡缕石呈细长丝状的形态特征, 往往沿片状的伊/蒙混层粘土矿物颗粒的边缘交代、生长;碎屑成因的坡缕石呈平直细纤维状的, 以单颗粒形式产出, 与细小的粘土矿物颗粒混杂, 或叠合在片状粘土矿物颗粒的表面.在临夏盆地晚渐新世沉积物中, 下段岩层中的粘土矿物组合为伊利石、伊/蒙混层粘土和高岭石;中段岩层的为伊利石、伊/蒙混层粘土;而上段岩层则为伊利石、伊/蒙混层粘土和绿泥石, 反映在盆地形成之后, 气候演化经历从湿润→冷干的变化过程.而沉积物中坡缕石的含量自下而上逐渐增多, 其分布特征与粘土矿物组合所反映的气候环境变化趋势相吻合.伊利石和伊/蒙混层粘土普遍存在于临夏盆地晚渐新世沉积物中, 伊利石、伊/蒙混层粘土和高岭石的共存表明这些粘土矿物具有不同的来源.坡缕石是干旱、半干旱地区泥灰岩风化以及风成沙漠尘土沉积物的特征矿物, 临夏盆地晚渐新世的沉积物中碎屑成因坡缕石的发现, 表明自~9Ma以来便出现风成黄土的沉积.      

南海南部北康盆地晚渐新世－中中新世物源变化

晚渐新世-中中新世，南海南部经历了重要的构造变革，北康盆地物源发生了重大变化，引起分散体系的变化，从而影响油气资源分布，因此物源研究具有重要意义.利用地震反射资料，开展地震属性分析，通过RMS（均方根振幅）地层切片，分析分散体系，并探讨物源变化及其控制因素.在晚渐新世-中中新世，北康盆地的沉积物源主要来自南侧，分散体系自南向北；不整合面之后海水突然加深，形成以早中新世不整合面（EMU）为界的2个沉积旋回；在每个旋回内，沉积物补给逐渐增多；在中中新世，沉积物源逐渐向北西方向迁移.通过区域分析，认为北康盆地的物源主要来自南部的曾母前陆盆地，物源的变化是曾母前陆盆地逐渐淤浅成陆和向北推进所致.      

Magnetochronology of Mid-Miocene mammalian fauna in the Lanzhou Basin,northeastern Tibetan Plateau:Implications for Asian mammal migration

The Quantougou(QTG) Fauna in central Lanzhou Basin is an important late Mid-Miocene fauna on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau margin,but its numerical age remains a matter of debate.Here,we present a new magnetostratigraphic record for a fluvio-lacustrine section to further constrain the age of the QTG Fauna.Results suggest that the studied section spans from polarity chrons C5Cn.2n to C5 n.2n or C5 An.1n,with ages of ca.16.5 Ma to 10 Ma or 16.5 Ma to 12 Ma.The QTG Fauna is located at the top of polarity chron C5r.3 r or C5 Ar.2 r,which corresponds to an age of 11.7 Ma or 12.8 Ma for the fauna.Accordingly,the associated Myocricetodontinae(a subfamily of Gerbillidae,Rodentia) is suggested to have appeared in the Lanzhou Basin at 11.7 Ma or 12.8 Ma,which is the oldest Myocricetodontinae in East Asia but is still much younger than the ～20 Ma appearance of this subfamily in West and South Asia.Our age data support the interpretation that East Asian Myocricetodontinae originated from South Asia.The QTG fauna further suggest a dry and open grassland environment,which is consistent with global cooling after the Mid-Miocene Climatic Optimum.     

Tectonics and Topography of the Tibetan Plateau in Early Miocene

Early Miocene stratigraphy, major structural systems, magmatic emplacement, volcanic eruption, vegetation change and paleo-elevation were analyzed for the Tibetan Plateau after regional geological mapping at a scale of 1:250,000 and related researches, revealing much more information for tectonic evolution and topographic change of the high plateau caused by Indian-Asian continental collision. Lacustrine deposits of dolostone, dolomite limestone, limestone, marl, sandstone and conglomerate of weak deformation formed extensively in the central Tibetan Plateau, indicating that vast lake complexes as large as 100,000–120,000 km2 existed in the central plateau during Early Miocene. Sporopollen assemblages contained in the lacustrine strata indicate the disappearance of most tropical-subtropical broad-leaved trees since Early Miocene and the flourishing of dark needleleaved trees during Early Miocene. Such vegetation changes adjusted for latitude and global climate variations demonstrate that the central Tibetan Plateau rose to ca. 4,000–4,500 m and the northeastern plateau uplifted to ca. 3,500–4,000 m before the Early Miocene. Intensive thrust and crustal thickening occurred in the areas surrounding central Tibetan Plateau in Early Miocene, formed Gangdise Thrust System(GTS) in the southern Lhasa block, Zedong-Renbu Thrust(ZRT) in the northern Himalaya block, Main Central Thrust(MCT) and Main Boundary Thrust(MBT) in the southern Himalaya block, and regional thrust systems in the Qaidam, Qilian, West Kunlun and Songpan-Ganzi blocks. Foreland basins formed in Early Miocene along major thrust systems, e.g. the Siwalik basin along MCT, Yalung-Zangbu Basin along GTS and ZRT, southwestern Tarim depression along West Kunlun Thrust, and large foreland basins along major thrust systems in the northeastern margin of the plateau. Intensive volcanic eruptions formed in the Qiangtang, Hoh-Xil and Kunlun blocks, porphyry granites and volcanic eruptions formed in the Nainqentanglha and Gangdise Mts., and leucogranites and granites formed in the Himalaya and Longmenshan Mts. in Early Miocene. The K2O weight percentages of Early Miocene magmatic rocks in the Gangdise and Himlayan Mts. are found to increase with distance from the MBT, indicating the genetic relationship between regional magmatism and subduction of Indian continental plate in Early Miocene.     

Early Miocene Paleoaltitude of the Tuotuohe Basin, Central-Northern Tibetan Plateau and its Tectonic Implications

Reconstruction of the paleoaltitude history of the Tibetan Plateau is critical for understanding the linkage between tectonics and its effect on regional and global climate change. Presently, most of the paleoaltitude studies are concentrated on the southern and southeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau, and few studies have been conducted in the central-northern part. In this paper we focused on the Wudaoliang Formation in the Tuotuohe Basin, central to northern Tibetan Plateau, to reconstruct p...     

Stages in the Magura Basin: a case study of the Polish sector (Western Carpathians)

The Magura Basin domain developed in its initial stage as a Jurassic-Early Cretaceous rifted passive margin that faced the eastern parts of the oceanic Alpine Tethys. In the pre- and syn-orogenic evolution of the Magura Basin the following prominent periods can be distinguished: Middle Jurassic-Early Cretaceous syn-rift opening of basins (1) followed by Early Cretaceous post-rift thermal subsidence (2), latest Cretaceous–Paleocene syn-collisional inversion (3), Late Paleocene to Middle Eocene flexural subsidence (4) and Late Eocene - Early Miocene synorogenic closing of the basin (5). The driving forces of tectonic subsidence of the basin were syn-rift and thermal post-rift processes, as well as tectonic loads related to the emplacement of accretionary wedge. This process was initiated at the end of the Paleocene at the Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB)/Magura Basin boundary and was completed during Late Oligocene in the northern part of the Magura Basin. During Early Miocene the Magura Basin was finally folded, thrusted and uplifted as the Magura Nappe.     

The Lower Miocene volcaniclastic sedimentation in the Sicilian sector of the Maghrebian Flysch Basin: geodynamic implications

Abstract

Volcaniclastic debris-rich formations, characterising the Troina-Tusa Unit in the Sicilian Maghrebian Chain, are examined. The Troina-Tusa Unit terrains sedimented in the Maghrebian Flysch Basin, which, from Jurassic to Early Miocene, constituted the southernmost branch of the Western Tethys, located between Africa and the Mesomediterranean Terrane margins. New field, biostratigraphic and pétrographie data enable a reconstruction of the palaeogeographic and structural evolution of the Flysch Basin immediately before its deformation. All the studied formations transpired to be Burdigalian in age. The sandstone compositions, showing different source areas (magmatic arc, recycled orogen and continental block), indicate a provenance for the clastic material from a crystalline basement with an active volcanic arc, replaced by a remnant volcanic arc, which was rapidly completely eroded. The source area that has been considered is Sardinia, where Upper Oligocene -Aquitanian calc-alkaline volcanites are widespread, but the sedimentological characteristics and the Burdigalian age do not fit with this provenance. The Burdigalian calc-alkaline arc should be located on the internal side of the Troina-Tusa Basin, above the already stacked Peloritanian units. A migration of the volcanic activity, connected with the subduction plain roll-back, can be envisaged from the Sardinia Block to the Peloritanian Chain, this latter still docked to the Sardinia-Corsica massif. © 2002 Editions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS.

珠江口盆地东沙隆起早中新世台缘带特征及勘探方向

基于钻井、地震资料的系统分析,珠江口盆地东沙隆起早中新世大型碳酸盐岩台缘带沿L7井、H6井及F1井一带呈环带状分布。根据斜坡结构与沉积充填特征的差异,台缘带可划分为四个区段,不同区段具有不同的油气成藏条件。东南段,位于白云凹陷与东沙隆起的过渡带,斜坡横向宽度大、地势陡,礁滩发育,由于下伏地层缺乏有效输导砂体沟通烃源,该段存在一定勘探风险;中南段,斜坡类型转换为断坡,斜坡宽度、高差相对减小,台缘礁滩发育,位于构造脊附近的礁滩体为下一步勘探的有利目标;西段,斜坡宽度小、坡度缓,礁的规模相对减小,生物碎屑滩较发育,应以构造-岩性复合圈闭为突破目标;北段,斜坡规模小,且为背风带,礁滩相对不发育,与惠州凹陷邻接部位的小规模生物碎屑滩发育带具有一定的勘探潜力。
