藏西南札达白垩纪海绿石的形成机制及控制因素

西藏札达地区夏拉剖面海绿石砂岩之下的地层中含有少量处于不同演化阶段的海绿石质物质。为了更好的理解海绿石化过程、查明海绿石的形成机制和控制因素,本文利用岩相学和扫描电镜(SEM)以及电子探针微分析(EPMA)等技术,对其中处于不同演化阶段的海绿石进行了系统的矿物学研究。分析表明,海绿石呈微晶片状集合体形态,具明显的交代特征。海绿石化过程主要表现为交代碱性长石或岩屑中的富钾组分,这种交代反应为溶解-沉淀-重结晶机制控制的界面迁移反应。交代形成的海绿石继承了原矿物或岩屑颗粒的外形,表明其形成于很弱的水动力学条件。交代过程受沉积物供应速率、母源物质的溶解速率和反应界面附近的氧化还原条件控制。铁铝蛇纹石的大量存在表明当时的环境主要为一种还原环境,而海绿石则形成于局部的亚氧化(sub-oxic)环境中。砂岩中不同演化程度的海绿石都表现出富钾贫铁的特征,表明交代碱性长石(或钾长石)或岩屑中的富钾组分的海绿石化过程不同于前人提出的新生理论和两阶段模式。元素的富集是通过与交代作用同时进行的重结晶作用完成的,该过程不需要前人提及的后期单独的钾富集的过程,并区别于交代贫钾矿物的过程。     

Glauconitic peloids and chamositic ooids - favorable factors,constraints, and problems

Glauconitic minerals constitute a family ranging from green smectite to a 10Ådioctahedral mica (glauconite). Chamositic minerals include a 7Åtrioctahedral serpentine (berthierine) and a 14Åtrioctahedral chlorite (chamosite). These green iron-rich, neoformed or transformed clay minerals are most commonly concentrated in sand-size granules.Recent berthierine and Recent and ancient glauconitic minerals occur mainly in structureless peloids, most of which are believed to have been fecal pellets. In contrast, most of the ancient chamositic minerals are in multi-coated ooids generally assumed to have been made by gentle rolling on the sea floor.Glauconitic and chamositic granules accumulated most commonly in marine shelf environments during episodes of reduced influx of sediment. In modern deposits chamositic peloids predominate on the inner shelf, whereas glauconitic peloids are most abundant on the middle and outer shelf. In general, ancient glauconitic and chamositic deposits had a rather similar environmental distribution; in detail, however, they reflect more varied and overlapping marine habitats.Glauconitic greensands and chamositic ironstones commonly occur above a coarsening- or shoaling-upward facies sequence. Many of them are cross-bedded and burrowed, and some are interbedded with a ferruginized or phosphatized hardground. Although differing in detail, their temporal distributions throughout Phanerozoic time were rather similar. Both attained a maximum when cratonic blocks were widely dispersed and sea level was high in Early Paleozoic and Late Mesozoic time. In addition, recurring development of chamositic ooids commonly coincided with repeated regional transgressions.This review of current information and differing interpretations leads to significant questions that are essential subjects for future research. Moreover, some of these relate to unsolved problems of phosphorite genesis.     

Glauconitization of detrital silica substrates in the Barton Formation (upper Eocene) of the Hampshire Basin, southern England

Upper Eocene detrital silica grains (chert and quartz) of the Hampshire Basin display alteration and replacement fabrics by glauconite. Silica grains have etched surfaces due to glauconitization which appear green in reflected light and thin section. Quartz grains were glauconitized by surface nucleation and replacement, which spreads from the margin with progressive glauconitization, replacing the quartz grain interior. Chert grains were glauconitized by surface replacement and nucleation internally along cracks and in pores. Different forms of glauconite are associated with the two minerals; glauconite associated with quartz is generally highly-evolved whereas glauconite associated with chert is of the evolved variety. This is interpreted as being due to different surface-reaction control mechanisms associated with the two forms of silica. There is no evidence to suggest that glauconite evolved in stages from a nascent form. Two crystalline morphological forms of glauconite are found associated with both quartz and chert. Glauconite growing within a confined space has a laminated morphology whilst glauconite occurring on the surface has a rosette morphology.     

Naturally weathered feldspar surfaces in the Navajo Sandstone aquifer, Black Mesa, Arizona: Electron microscopic characterization

Naturally weathered feldspar surfaces in the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone at Black Mesa, Arizona, was characterized with high-resolution transmission and analytical electron microscope (HRTEM-AEM) and field emission gun scanning electron microscope (FEG-SEM). Here, we report the first HRTEM observation of a 10-nm thick amorphous layer on naturally weathered K-feldspar in currently slightly alkaline groundwater. The amorphous layer is probably deficient in K and enriched in Si. In addition to the amorphous layer, the feldspar surfaces are also partially coated with tightly adhered kaolin platelets. Outside of the kaolin coatings, feldspar grains are covered with a continuous 3-5 μm thick layer of authigenic smectite, which also coats quartz and other sediment grains. Authigenic K-feldspar overgrowth and etch pits were also found on feldspar grains. These characteristics of the aged feldspar surfaces accentuate the differences in reactivity between the freshly ground feldspar powders used in laboratory experiments and feldspar grains in natural systems, and may partially contribute to the commonly observed apparent laboratory-field dissolution rate discrepancy. At Black Mesa, feldspars in the Navajo Sandstone are dissolving at ∼10⁵ times slower than laboratory rate at comparable temperature and pH under far from equilibrium condition. The tightly adhered kaolin platelets reduce the feldspar reactive surface area, and the authigenic K-feldspar overgrowth reduces the feldspar reactivity. However, the continuous smectite coating layer does not appear to constitute a diffusion barrier. The exact role of the amorphous layer on feldspar dissolution kinetics depends on the origin of the layer (leached layer versus re-precipitated silica), which is uncertain at present. However, the nanometer thin layer can be detected only with HRTEM, and thus our study raises the possibility of its wide occurrence in geological systems. Rate laws and proposed mechanisms should consider the possibility of this amorphous layer on feldspar surface.     

Morphological Characteristics of （K, Na）-Rectorite from Zhongxiang Rectorite Deposit, Hubei, Central China

The morphological characteristics of the Zhongxiang (钟祥) rectorite have been studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The structural formula of the Zhongxiang rectorite is: interstratification of (K, Na)-mica and Ca-montmorillouite. SEM observations show that Zhongxiang rectorite occurs as platy and fold-shaped crystals, and mainly as extremely thin plates with thickness ranging from 0.4 to 0.05 μm and a smooth (001) surface. There are well-developed polygonal steps on the surfaces of some thick crystals, suggesting a layer-by-layer growth mechanism. AFM observations show a series of steps with a height of 2 nm on the platy particles, suggesting the stacking of 20 nm fundamental particles. Club-like or fiber-shaped halloysite is included in the platy crystals with their elongated dimension paralleling (001) of the platy crystals or crossing the (001) surface of the platy rectorite, indicating multi-stage crystallization and involvement of hydrothermal fluids. The Zhongxiang rectorite was generated by both layer-by-layer growth mechanism and dissolution and crystallization growth mechanism with multistages.     

Genetic and chemical relationships between berthierine,chlorite and cordierite in nodules associated to granitic pegmatites of Sierra Albarrana (Iberian Massif,Spain)

Chlorite and berthierine occur through alteration of cordierite within enclaves of metamorphic rocks transformed by the Sierra Albarrana pegmatites. The coexistence of both phyllosilicates allows us to study their stability relationships and to compare their chemical compositions. Samples showing incipient replacement of cordierite by small cryptocrystalline aggregates can be identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) as berthierine with small quantities of chlorite. Electron Microprobe (EMP) analyses give mixed compositions of berthierine and cordierite. Samples with extensive replacement of cordierite by aggregates show similar characteristics to those with incipient replacement, but some small crystals are present. The last type of sample shows complete replacement of cordierite by crystals showing optical properties of chlorite and EMPA compositions coherent with chlorite or berthierine. Their XRD pattern corresponds to chlorite and their high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images only show perfect sequences of 14 Å lattice fringes. The cryptocrystalline aggregates of the samples with incipient and extensive replacement present coexistent areas of 14 Å and 7 Å lattice fringes that are intergrown at different levels: (1) large areas (> 1 m) of 7 Å layers; (2) packets of 7 Å layers between 14 Å layer areas, with visible 7 Å to 14 Å lateral changes; (3) random mixed-layers 7 Å/14 Å. Chlorite is the final stable product of alteration of cordierite, with berthierine as an intermediate metastable phase. Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry microanalyses of 14 Å, 7 Å and (14+7) Å areas show lack of systematic differences in chemical compositions between both phyllosilicates which may be considered as true polymorphs.

Comparison of diagenetic and low-grade metamorphic evolution of chlorite in associated metapelites and metabasites: an integrated TEM and XRD study

Chlorite is a common sheet silicate that occurs in various lithologies over a wide grade range involving diagenesis and low‐grade metamorphism. Thus, the reaction progress of chlorite offers a unique opportunity for direct correlation of zonal classification of metasedimentary rocks based on illite crystallinity with metabasite mineral facies. To provide such correlation, chlorite crystallinity indices, apparent mean crystallite sizes and lattice strains, crystallite size distributions and compositions of chlorite from coexisting metapelites and metabasites were determined by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), analytical electron microscopy (AEM) and electron microprobe (EMP) methods. Samples were from Palaeozoic and Mesozoic formations of the Bükkium (innermost Western Carpathians, Hungary) that underwent Alpine (Cretaceous) orogenic metamorphism. Metapelites range in grade from late diagenesis to epizone, whereas metabasites vary from prehnite–pumpellyite through pumpellyite–actinolite to greenschist facies. Despite significant differences in composition, mineral assemblages and textures, reaction progress, as measured in part by chlorite crystallinity, in metapelites paralleled that in metabasites. Chlorite crystallinity and mean crystallite size increase and the proportion of mixed layers in chlorite decreases, whereas the calculated lattice strain does not change significantly with increasing metamorphic grade. Similar trends, but (especially at higher grades) significant differences, were found in mean crystallite size values using various methods for XRD line profile analyses. The increase in crystallite size with increasing grade was demonstrated also by direct TEM measurements on ion‐milled whole‐rock samples, but with a larger scatter of data at higher grades. In spite of the different kinds of mixed layering in chlorite (Mg‐rich smectitic, mostly random, local corrensite‐like units in metabasites, and Fe‐rich berthierine and dioctahedral smectite in metapelites), XRD‐calculated and TEM‐measured parameters were found to be reliable tools for measuring reaction progress and metamorphic grade of the same degree in both lithotypes.

Glauconite from lower cretaceous marine terrigenous rocks of England: A concept of biochemogenic origin

Detailed mineralogical characteristics of various forms of glauconite occurrence in Lower Cretaceous marine terrigenous rocks of the White Island (Binnel Bay, southern England) are discussed. It has been shown that glauconite was formedin situ due to the transformation of fine-dispersed and sandy-silty terrigenous materials. The influence of bacterial activity on glauconite formation is supported by the study of dissolution zones on quartz and feldspar grains, which revealed biomorphic structures akin to fossilized bacteria.     

The glauconite–Fe‐illite–Fe‐smectite problem: a critical review

Iron silicate minerals are a significant component of sedimentary systems but their modes of formation remain controversial. Our analysis of published data identifies end‐member compositions and mixtures and allows us to recognize controls of formation of different mineral species. The compositional fields of glaucony, Fe‐illite, Fe–Al smectites are determined in the M⁺/4Si vs. Fe/Sum of octahedral cations (M⁺ = interlayer charge). Solid solutions could exist between these phases. The Fe–Al and Fe‐rich clay minerals form two distinct solid solutions. The earliest phases to be formed are Fe–Al smectites or berthierine depending on the sedimentation rate. Reductive microsystems appear in the vicinity of organic debris in unconsolidated sediments. The Fe is incorporated first in pyrite and then in silicates after oxidation. Potassium ions diffuse from the sea‐water–sediment interface. If not interrupted, the diffusion process is active until reaction completion is reached, i.e. formation of Fe‐illite or glauconite or a mineral assemblage (berthierine–nontronite) according to the available Al ion amounts in the microsystem. Mixed‐layer minerals are formed when the diffusion process is interrupted because of sedimentation, compaction or cementation. Despite the common belief of their value as palaeoenvironment indicators, these minerals can form in a variety of environments and over a period of millions of years during sediment burial.     

东营凹陷沙河街组砂岩储层砂泥岩界面对长石溶蚀的影响

深部碎屑岩储层的原生孔隙损失严重,深层油气藏能否形成的关键问题之一是盆地碎屑岩致密储层是否发育次生孔隙。作为砂岩骨架颗粒的长石发生溶蚀反应,是中深部碎屑岩储层次生孔隙形成的重要作用。选取东营凹陷中部地区中央断裂带和牛庄洼陷发育的湖相三角洲-浊积岩砂体为研究对象,运用光学显微镜(OM)、扫描电镜(SEM)、X粉晶衍射(XRD)以及电感耦合等离子体发射光谱仪(ICP-AES)等分析测试技术研究了砂泥岩界面处砂岩长石溶蚀、高岭石形成分布以及次生孔隙发育特征。研究结果表明,随着压实作用进行,泥岩中的有机质热演化以及伴随的蒙脱石伊利石化是中深部砂岩储集层酸性孔隙流体的主要来源。揭示出砂泥岩层序中泥岩成岩作用对于砂岩骨架颗粒长石溶蚀以及自生高岭石形成、分布具有重要影响。砂泥岩界面对长石溶蚀的控制作用与泥岩中有机质含量、成熟度等地球化学特征有关。对于研究区埋深大于3000m的浊积岩砂体,由于被有效烃源岩包裹,烃源岩压实排出的有机酸对长石溶蚀产物Al元素具有较强的络合作用,导致砂泥岩界面处长石溶蚀程度较高,而高岭石含量较低,形成的次生孔隙不会被高岭石饱和充填,提高了砂泥岩界面处储层的孔隙度和渗透率。而...     

The origin and maturation of lagoonal glauconites: a case study from the Oligocene Maniyara Fort Formation,western Kutch,India

An integrated study of the sedimentology, micropalaeontology, mineralogy and geochemistry of glauconites in the Oligocene Maniyara Fort Formation (western Kutch, India), has been undertaken. Authigenic glauconites, mostly of evolved type, formed within a back‐barrier lagoonal environment. Foraminifera help constrain the biostratigraphy and along with sedimentological evidence, provide information on the depositional conditions. Glauconite in the Maniyara Fort Formation occurs either as infillings within intra‐particle pores of larger foraminifers, or as an altered form of faecal pellets. X‐ray diffraction studies reveal the less mature nature of glauconite infillings compared to the glauconite pellets. Electron microprobe investigation confirms a relative enrichment of K₂O and total Fe₂O₃ in the latter. Both varieties of glauconite formed by initial authigenic precipitation of K‐poor glauconite and subsequently matured by addition of potassium in the interlayer sites and fixation of total iron in the octahedral sites; calcium, magnesium and aluminum were released from the glauconite structure concomitantly. Alkaline conditions during the entire process of glauconite formation did not allow dissolution of foraminiferal tests. Mineralogical and chemical characteristics of the Maniyara Fort Formation glauconites are more similar to deep marine glauconites than those reported from other shallow or marginal marine settings. A low negative cerium anomaly, as well as abundant pyrite, suggests formation of glauconite in sub‐oxic micro‐environments, created by decay of organic matter associated with foraminiferal chambers and faecal pellets. Sub‐oxic condition apparently prevailed relatively longer within the Maniyara Fort Formation lagoons. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Mechanism of feldspar weathering—I. Experimental studies

It has been widely accepted that a chemically altered, protective surface layer regulates the dissolution, and hence the weathering, of plagioclase feldspars under Earth's surface conditions. In this study, we examine this hypothesis in detail with the aid of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Using these techniques, we have been unable to find any direct evidence suggesting the presence of a chemically altered coating on feldspar surfaces which have been weathered in the lab. Instead, our results suggest that the mechanism controlling feldspar weathering is a surface controlled reaction.Based on SEM observations and measurements of rate of release of silica, we postulate that the process of feldspar dissolution proceeds in two stages in the lab. Initially, one observes the dissolution of ultrafine (? 1 μm diameter) particles which are produced during grinding of the sample, and which adhere tenaciously to the surfaces of larger grains. This is the stage which results in the non-linear rates of dissolution which are commonly observed in the lab (parabolic kinetics). Secondly, the dissolution occurs at sites of excess surface energy such as at dislocations or similar crystal defects. This process yields linear rates of dissolution, and it dominates the weathering of feldspars in the field.     

Climatic and sea‐level control of Jurassic (Pliensbachian) clay mineral sedimentation in the Cardigan Bay Basin,Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) borehole,Wales

Early Jurassic climate is characterized by alternating cold and warm periods highlighted by studies based notably on oxygen isotopes measured on belemnite guards and other marine invertebrate shells. These climatic changes include changes in the hydrological cycle, and consequently weathering and runoff conditions. In order to clarify the erosion and weathering conditions during the Pliensbachian, this study determined the mineralogical composition of the clay fraction of 132 samples taken from the entire stage drilled in the Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) borehole (Cardigan Bay Basin). The clay mineral assemblages are composed of various proportions of chlorite, illite, illite/smectite mixed‐layers (R1 I–S), smectite and kaolinite, with possibly occasional traces of berthierine. The occurrence of abundant smectite indicates that the maximum burial temperature never exceeded 70°C. Consequently, clay minerals are considered mainly detrital, and their fluctuations likely reflect environmental changes. The variations in the proportions of smectite and kaolinite are opposite to each other. Kaolinite is particularly abundant at the base of the jamesoni Zone, in part coinciding with the δ¹³C negative excursion corresponding to the Sinemurian/Pliensbachian Boundary Event, and through the davoei Zone, whilst smectite is abundant in the upper part of jamesoni and base of ibex zones and through the subnodosus/gibbosus subzones of the margaritatus Zone. The kaolinite‐rich intervals reflect an intensification of hydrolysis and an acceleration of the hydrological cycle, while the smectite‐rich intervals indicate a more arid climate. The spinatum Zone is characterized by a distinct clay assemblage with abundant primary minerals, R1 I–S, kaolinite reworked from previously deposited sediments or from Palaeozoic rocks, and probably berthierine originating from contemporaneous ironstone‐generating environments of shallower waters. This mineralogical change by the end of the Pliensbachian likely reflects a transition from a dominant chemical weathering to a deeper physical erosion of the continent, probably related to a significant sea‐level fall consistent with a glacio‐eustatic origin.     

Ocean current intensification during the Cretaceous oceanic anoxic event 2 – evidence from the northern Tethys

Mesozoic Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs) are expressions of major physical oceanographic changes at times of perturbation of the global carbon cycle. A northern Tethyan record of OAE2 is preserved in expanded Cenomanian–Turonian pelagic limestone sections (Seewen Formation) in Eastern Switzerland. The new carbonate carbon‐isotope stratigraphy extracted from these limestones demonstrates that the OAE2 is condensed in all the studied successions and only the onset of the δ¹³C excursion (5.0‰) is present. The condensed interval is characterized by dissolution features, which are filled by a glauconite quartz sandstone. This bed is overlain by a well‐sorted sandstone with intercalated limestone pebbles (Götzis Member), which can be compared with palimpsest sands forming today along current‐swept shelves. The wide distribution of this thin sandstone layer within OAE2 indicates that an intense, erosive, east‐west trending shelf current was active during the highest sea level and most extreme carbon‐cycle perturbation of the OAE2.

Earliest Triassic microbialites in Çürük Dag,southern Turkey: composition,sequences and controls on formation

The Permian–Triassic Boundary sequence at Çürük Dag, near Antalya, Turkey, begins with a major erosion surface interpreted as being the Late Permian lowstand, on which lies ca 0·4 m of grainstone/packstone composed of ooids, peloids and bioclasts. Most ooids are superficial coats on fragments of calcite crystals presumed to be eroded from crystal fans which are no longer present. The erosion surface is smooth and shows no evidence of dissolution; the grainstone/packstone contains intraclasts of the underlying wackestone, proving erosion. Next are 15 m of microbialite comprised of interbedded stromatolites, thrombolites, plus beds of planar limestones with small‐scale erosion. The latter comprise a complex interlayering of stromatolitic, thrombolitic and peloidal fabrics and precipitated crystal fans, which form a hybrid of microbialite and inorganic carbonate, together with bioclastic debris and micrite. The Çürük Dag microbialite sequence is repetitious; the lower part is more complex, with abundant stromatolites and hybrid microbialites. Some of the stromatolites are themselves hybrids composed of peloids and crystal fans. In the upper part of the sequence stromatolites are missing and the rock is composed mostly of recrystallized thrombolites that develop upwards from tabular to domal form. The domes form directly below small breaks in microbialite growth where very thin shelly micrites and grainstones/packstones are deposited. Repetition of facies may be controlled by sea‐level change; a deepening‐up model is consistent with the evidence. Stromatolites (with abundant crystal fans) dominate in shallower water, deepening through hybrid microbialite and interlayered sediments to thrombolite, probably no more than a few tens of metres deep, followed by breaks and renewal of microbialite growth. An interpretation of open marine fully oxygenated waters for microbialite growth is consistent with ongoing parallel work that has identified Bairdioid ostracods in the microbialite, a group known to be open marine. However, other researchers have proposed low oxygen conditions for Permian–Triassic boundary facies globally, so work continues to confirm whether the Çürük Dag microbialite grew in dysoxic or normally oxygenated conditions. The principal stimulus for post‐extinction microbialites is likely to be carbonate supersaturation of the oceans. The microbialite sequence is overlain by a further 25 m of grainstone/packstone (without microbialite), followed by Early Triassic shales. Overall, microbialites form a thin aggradational sequence during an overall relative sea‐level rise, consistent with global eustatic rise following the Late Permian lowstand.
