The present end‐point of the Tsauchab River is at Sossus Vlei, 30 km into the Namib Sand Sea. Interdune deposits in three depressions west and southwest of the vlei include channel and interdune lithofacies associations but no deposits typical of river end‐points or of groundwater seepage into interdune areas. The two lithofacies associations show that the Tsauchab River extended further into the sand sea in the past. It had a well‐developed channel and a higher flow than today that caused flooding of adjacent interdune areas. OSL 4‐mm aliquot minimum ages indicate that the Tsauchab River reached 2–3 km beyond its present end‐point at ca. 25 ka and ca. 9–7 ka, and that the river was more active from 0.9–0.3 ka. The eastward migration of the river end‐point since ca. 7 ka suggests a reduction in flood magnitude accompanied by the gradual invasion of the Sossus Vlei area by dunes. The regional data indicate an additional wet interval at ca. 15 ka that is so far not recorded in the Sossus area. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

黑沟源于东天山最大现代冰川作用中心博格达峰的南坡. 在第四纪冰期与间冰期旋回中,该流域的冰川均发生过多次规模较大的进退,在谷中留下了较为完整的冰川沉积序列. 这些冰川地形包含有重要的古气候变化信息,对其研究可重建黑沟流域的冰川演化史. 应用OSL对该流域的冰川沉积物进行定年,测定结果表明冰水沉积物(沙质透镜体)比冰碛物更适宜应用单片再生剂量(SAR)测年技术进行测定. 基于测得的年龄并结合地貌地层学原理可初步得出:晚第四纪期间,黑沟流域共发生了5次规模较大的冰川作用,分别为全新世期间的小冰期(16世纪以来冷期的冰进)与新冰期(距今3~4 ka的冰进),末次冰期晚冰阶(MIS 2)与早冰阶(MIS 4)以及倒数第二次冰期(MIS 6).  相似文献

The development of the Gurbantunggut Desert is mainly controlled by the Westerly wind, and at present has little influence from Indian and Southeast Asian monsoons. A combined study using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating, ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) surveys and climatic proxies analysis was carried out in the southern part of the desert. The chronology extends back to 18 ka and is constructed based on 16 OSL ages from boreholes in the linear dune body and the inter‐dune area. The chronology suggests that sand deposition in the last 18 ka experienced two rapid accumulation phases at 11 and 2.5 ka ago which were also evident from the GPR surveys. These periods relate to increased aridity in the region. Five climate phases are identified from the last 18 ka, based on the OSL chronology and climatic proxy analysis with grain size and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The deglacial period (18.3–10.4 ka) is characterized by climate instability and possible glacial melting events. The Holocene Optimum peaked 8.5 ka and terminated 3.6 ka ago, when the regional climate became arid. OSL samples from the dune body cluster around 2.5 ka, which indicates rapid advance/extension of dune bodies at this time. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

根据每组石灰石中都含有大量的海洋沉积窄盐度生物及藻类化石,推断船山矿床为浅海碳酸盐沉积;从每组石灰石的粒度、颜色、结构构造,推断出该矿床在形成过程中有两次大规模海侵,两次沉积中断.沉积环境的变化决定了石灰石的质量,氧化环境罩形成的石灰石颜色较浅较纯可作为熔剂,还原环境里形成的石厌石颜色较深,有机质含龄高只能作为水泥原料.  相似文献

运用沉积学、古生物地层学、层序地层学等方法对福建龙永煤田童子岩组地层及其内主要煤层的沉积特征进行了详细的研究。结果表明童子岩组是一套海陆交互相的沉积,其沉积序列共分为三个沉积旋回,每个旋回都是以海侵开始,以海退结束,每一旋回缓慢海退背景都是由一系列的次级快速海进或海退事件构成。由于不断受到海陆两方面的影响,形成童子岩组中煤层的泥炭沼泽发育呈现出波动式特征,由此导致泥炭沼泽类型呈跳跃式演化,构成了包括碎屑滨岸、障壁岛—潟湖、泥炭坪、潮坪、潮汐三角洲和河控三角洲等沉积相在内的复杂沉积体系。  相似文献

The raised beach sediments revealed in the cliffs at Sewerby, East Yorkshire are widely regarded as Ipswichian in age. Previously reported evidence for this dating is reviewed and new results from a range of luminescence dating techniques applied to the blown sand deposit overlying the raised beach are reported. These provide the first absolute date for the Sewerby site of 120.84 ± 11.82 ka, which places the blown sand at the boundary between oxygen isotope stages (OIS) 5e and 5d. As the underlying raised beach is little older than the blown sand, it probably formed during OIS Stage 5e as suggested by the faunal evidence.  相似文献

Thermoluminescence (TL) and infrared-stimulated luminescence (IRSL) sediment-dating methods have been applied to paleosol- and tephra-bearing loess sequences younger than marine oxygen isotope stage (MIS) 7 at three important sites. TL ages indicate the development of significant paleosols ∼75,000 and ∼30,000 yr ago in the loess sequence at the Gold Hill site. Relatively minor soil development occurred ∼70,000 and ∼48,000 yr ago. Like the ∼75,000-yr-old soil, the 30,000-yr-old soil is apparently of global extent, and consistent in timing with inferred warm intervals elsewhere (e.g., Greenland, Europe, western and central China). At Birch Hill, replicate TL dating of primary loess combined with two earlier TL results from the same site, and with an earlier mean fission-track-glass-shard age of 140,000 ± 10,000 yr for the associated Old Crow tephra, yield a more precise numeric age of 142,300 ± 6600 yr for this Alaska/Yukon chronostratigraphic marker ash bed. Three of the TL ages at the Halfway House site are difficult to interpret, but combined with other evidence, they indicate: (1) the upper 5-6 m of loess from Halfway House is not part of the Gold Hill Loess (equivalent to pre-MIS 5 age) as long thought by T.L. Péwé, but rather is much younger; (2) the regionally significant variegated tephra, found in the Fairbanks and Klondike areas and previously thought to be older than MIS 5, has an age of 77,800 ± 4100 yr (late MIS 5).  相似文献

This paper reports new fieldwork at Warsash which clarifies the terrace stratigraphic framework of the Palaeolithic archaeology of the region. Sections were recorded in former gravel pits and at coastal locations, supplemented by the use of ground penetrating radar and luminescence dating techniques. The region’s extensive borehole archive was also analysed to produce a revised terrace stratigraphy at Warsash and for the Test valley as a whole. At Warsash, some of the sediments previously identified as the Mottisfont/Lower Warsash Terrace are reassigned to the Hamble, Belbin/Upper Warsash and Ganger Wood/Mallards Moor Terraces. A luminescence dating programme, using test procedures not utilised in earlier dating studies in the region, yielded age estimates for the Hamble and Mottisfont/Lower Warsash Terraces at Warsash and also highlighted the complicated nature of the fluvial sediments of the River Test, suggesting that published luminescence ages for these deposits should be treated with some caution. This study indicates that the data used to construct terrace stratigraphies also requires careful assessment. The use of bedrock height and sediment thickness data produces more coherent long profile correlations than those produced by terrace surface data alone. The revised terrace stratigraphy provides the framework for the Palaeolithic archaeology at Warsash and clarifies correlations within and between archaeologically important sediments of the Test Valley, enabling it to contribute to discussions on the Lower-Middle Pleistocene settlement history of southern Britain.  相似文献

本文通过详细测量河北平原北部天津市蓟县西南部桑梓镇头营剖面,结合粒度分析数据、孢粉分析数据、14C和光释光测年数据,系统分析了该剖面地层形成年龄和沉积特征。实测剖面显示地层可以划分为18层,沉积物以黏土质粉砂、粉砂质黏土、黏土为主。14C和光释光测年数据显示该剖面沉积物主要为晚更新世晚期以来沉积。粒度分析结果显示14个粒度样品频率分布曲线均为不对称的单峰态,表明沉积物成分单一,为相对稳定的水能条件下形成;概率累积曲线以细粒型为主,样品主要由跃移总体和悬浮总体组成。根据孢粉组合特征,可将剖面划分为3个孢粉带,孢粉带Ⅰ:气候温和湿润;孢粉带Ⅱ:气候寒冷干旱;孢粉带Ⅲ:气候温暖湿润。实测剖面测年结果与古里雅冰芯氧同位素曲线作对比可知,剖面形成时代对应MIS3~MIS1阶段,头营剖面经历了暖—冷—暖的气候变化,与孢粉组合反映的气候特征一致。综上可知,头营剖面晚更新世以来沉积物应属漫滩或洼地相沉积,整体处于相对稳定的低水流条件,沉积环境稳定。  相似文献

通过对青海民和盆地详细的野外调查,在民和马厂塬遗址周围首次发现多处黄土地裂缝(呈现N 30°~40°W和N40°~50°E走向)。详细观察可见有一层红色粘土覆盖文化层,并且填充了这些裂隙,判定这是古地震与暴雨山洪泥流事件的沉积记录。对马厂塬遗址边墙村南剖面两个地点相同地层单元平行采样,应用单片再生剂量法(SAR)技术对红色泥流及其上下黄土夹层进行释光(OSL)测年研究,并对这些样品等效剂量(De)值进行统计分析,获得了较为可靠的OSL年代。综合OSL年代结果、全新世黄土地层关系、考古记录及研究区马家窑文化类型的放射性14C测年数据,确定这次古地震及暴雨山洪泥流事件发生在4.9 ka B.P.左右,对应于马家窑文化类型(5.3~4.8 ka B.P.)晚期。本文研究揭示了史前古地震事件与暴雨山洪泥流沉积物的OSL特征,对于马厂塬遗址环境考古和深刻认识民和盆地自然灾害的发生规律具有重要的科学意义。  相似文献

The regional landscape of the Salado depression is related to weathering, eolian and fluvial processes generated under different climatic conditions. Although during most of the Holocene the climatic conditions were warm and humid, previously, a vast plain dominated by deflation processes and enhanced by weathering processes was developed in an arid environment. Fluvial deposits produced afterwards are continuous and lithologically homogeneous, which allows differentiation and characterization of the entire stratigraphic sequence. The stratigraphic units of this area, closely related to the paleoclimatic conditions, are recognized and characterized. Three lithostratigraphic units of fluvial origin (Members) and two paleosols have been differentiated. The first ones were grouped in the Luján Formation. Some of the units are related to other ones previously recognized in this area (La Chumbiada Member and La Pelada Geosol), but others have no similarity or relationship with previously known units (Gorch and Puente Las Gaviotas Members, and Frigorífico Belgrano Geosol). Radiocarbon ages suggest that the fluvial sequences were deposited after the glacial maximum, corresponding to MIS 1, except for the basal levels of the lower member which is late Late Pleistocene. Although the general paleoclimatic conditions were related to warm and humid climate, events related to water deficits were also recognized, which could be related to the Younger Dryas, the middle Holocene and the late Holocene.  相似文献

黑龙江宾县宁远镇中阳村剖面的砂砾石堆积过去被认为是哈尔滨地区第四纪下限的罗家窝棚组地层,对于其地层属性和沉积环境方面的研究较为薄弱。本文在野外考察的基础上,利用沉积学、矿物学、地球化学和碎屑锆石U-Pb测年对这套砂砾石堆积剖面进行研究,对其化学风化特征、源岩性质、沉积环境以及构造背景进行讨论。结果表明,这套砾石地层分选和磨圆较差,风化程度较低,无定向性排列,砾石以花岗岩(63%)、石英砂岩(22%)为主;钛铁矿(22.5%)是最主要重矿物,其次是锆石(17.4%)、赤褐铁矿(13.4%),其它重矿物含量较少。元素地球化学揭示,沉积物中的细颗粒组分经历了中-低等的化学风化过程,大部分沉积物经历了首次循环。砾石岩性和地球化学组成共同揭示了沉积物主要来源于长英质母岩。元素地球化学的迁移与富集以及古气候判别图解指示沉积物是干热气候条件下的近距离搬运的冲洪积物。碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄分布在较窄的范围(208~129 Ma,峰值年龄~180 Ma),与周围潜在源区锆石年龄对比,结合地貌位置,确定其物源区位于张广才岭余脉哈尔滨东南部低山丘陵带。早侏罗世源区受到古太平洋板块俯冲作用的影响,形成大陆边缘的构造背景,哈尔滨东南低山丘陵带经历了隆升和岩浆活动。与罗家窝棚组标准地层的沉积学特征对比存在明显差异,推测宁远剖面形成时间要晚于罗家窝棚组,与白土山组大致相当。这项研究对于哈尔滨地区第四纪地层的划分具有重要意义。

Luminescence dating of loess older than 100 ka has long been a challenge. It has been recently reported that, using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of fine-grained quartz (4–11 μm) extracted from loess, the range of luminescence dating could be pushed to 0.6 Ma with OSL ages being in agreement with independent ages [Watanuki, T., Murray, A.S., Tsukamoto, S., 2005. Quartz and polymineral luminescence dating of Japanese loess over the last 0.6 Ma: comparison with an independent chronology. Earth and Planetary Science Letters 240, 774–789]. The aim of this study is to provide a luminescence chronology (20 samples) for the standard Luochuan loess section, and to further examine the upper limit of quartz OSL dating for Chinese loess. The growth curve does not saturate at 700 Gy, and should allow reliable equivalent dose (De) determination up to at least 400 Gy. However, when compared with independent chronological control, the De that could be treated as reliable is less than 230 Gy (corresponding to 70 ka in age for Chinese loess), and the De larger than 230 Gy should be underestimated. Ages for samples from the lower part of palaeosol S1 are severely underestimated, with the maximum age of 95 ka for a sample from the bottom of this palaeosol, much younger than the expected age of 128 ka. The maximum De obtained for sample L9/M, collected from loess layer L9 which is below the Matuyama–Brunhes (B/M) boundary whose age is 780 ka, is only 403 Gy which corresponds to an age of 107 ka. The cause of underestimation is not yet clear. The previous results by Watunuki et al. (2005) on the extension of OSL dating of loess to 0.6 Ma is not confirmed. When evaluating the validity of OSL ages in S1, another possibility is to question the already established chronological frame for Luochuan section, which is based on the hypothesis of continuous dust deposition. The assumption of an erosion hiatus between L2 and S1 could make the OSL ages look reasonable. However, if this is the case, then it is difficult to explain why the age of sample L9/M is only 107 ka which could be treated as a saturation age, while the OSL can provide a correct age for loess as old as 94.9 ka for sample LC22 collected from the bottom of S1. Much work is required to clarify these confusions.  相似文献

Geomorphological processes in the Thar Desert of India are largely climate driven. In the lower reaches of the River Luni (the only major drainage system in the Thar Desert) a fluvio‐aeolian sequence was located at a site called Khudala. Sediments of this sequence represented a variety of depositional environments, namely aeolian, fluvially reworked aeolian, overbank deposits, gravels, and occasional evidence of pedogenesis. This provided a good opportunity to study aeolian–fluvial interaction in the region and for deducing climatic records. From the luminescence dating standpoint these sequences offered a good opportunity for a comparative study of thermoluminescence (TL), blue‐green light stimulated luminescence (BGSL) and infrared light stimulated luminescence (IRSL) on different mineral separates of identical provenance but deposited under different environments. Broadly, within experimental errors, the TL ages agreed with BGSL and IRSL ages on aeolian sands, but differed substantially in the case of fluvially reworked and proximally deposited sands and silts. The sequence provided a record spanning more than 100 ka, with an aeolian phase at > 100 ka, a channel activation phase between 70 and 30 ka and a phase of climate instability between 13 and 8 ka. This appears consistent with the records of monsoon performance during this period, which includes the Younger Dryas. It is also inferred that during the Last Glacial epoch, geomorphological processes in the Thar (both aeolian and fluvial) were dormant largely on account of their relationship with the southwest monsoon.

湖南慈利江垭剖面中 上二叠统自下而上可以分为栖霞组、茅口组、吴家坪组和大隆组,总厚度为4617 m。该剖面岩以石灰岩为主,含少量的硅岩、泥岩、页岩和白云岩。石灰岩进一步分为砾屑灰岩、砂屑灰岩、粉屑灰岩、生物碎屑粒泥灰岩以及生物碎屑泥粒灰岩。砾屑灰岩主要分布于栖霞组及茅口组中,为斜坡沉积作用的产物。白云岩主要为同生和准同生白云岩,为局限台地环境的产物。根据岩性、微相分析,可划分出滨岸、局限台地、开阔台地、台地边缘、斜坡及盆地6种沉积环境。沉积演化表明,研究区二叠纪发生了两次大规模的海侵,主要发生于栖霞期早期—茅口期晚期以及吴家坪期早期—长兴期晚期。值得指出的是,栖霞组及茅口组中斜坡沉积的发现,对于重新认识研究区中二叠世古地理分布、演化及斜坡的迁移具有重要的意义。  相似文献

The Orange River, the principal conduit transporting diamonds from hinterland sources to the Namibian coast in post-Cretaceous times, is characterised by an extreme wave dominated delta that has given rise to a progression of coarse rudaceous littoral deposits preserved onshore for > 150 km north of the mouth. Under the long-lived, prevailing vigorous wave, wind and northward longshore drift regimes, the Orange River outfall has been reworked into, amongst others, a series of economically viable, diamondiferous Plio-Pleistocene onshore gravel beach deposits. These placers comprise spits and barrier beaches in the proximal reach within the palaeo-Orange River mouth that, after ca. 5 km northwards, merge into extensive but narrow linear beaches that, in turn after ca. 70 km, give way to pocket beaches. Gravel and diamond size decreases northwards away from the ancestral Orange River mouth. The linear and pocket beach types have considerably higher diamond content but lower average diamond stone size than the two proximal units that are characterised by low diamond grade but comparatively large average diamond size. Given the risk of delineating low grade alluvial diamond deposits accurately, we present here sedimentological reconstructions of the subtidal, intertidal and supra-tidal facies that constitute the spit and barrier beach sequences, based largely on face mapping of exploration trenches and open-cast, mine cuts, as well as the results of large tonnage, sampling campaigns. Diamond distribution is also linked convincingly to basic littoral processes that were operational within the palaeo-Orange River mouth during the complex transgression that gave rise to the + 30 m package in Plio-Pleistocene times. In both the spit and barrier beach settings, the intertidal deposits prove to be the most promising targets whereas the subtidal sediments are the least economic. The constant raking associated with coarse, cobble–boulder-sized gravel foreshore deposits in an energetic micro-tidal wave regime increased the average diamond stone size in the intertidal deposits to 1 to 2 carats per stone (cts/stn), but the lack of fixed trapsites (no competent footwall within the palaeo-Orange River mouth at that level) prohibited the accumulation of substantially enriched diamondiferous gravels. Consequently, grades of only 1.5 to 6 carats per 100 tons (cpht) are realised. The highest grades (2 to 6 cpht) are found in the landward-facing, intertidal beach deposits on the spits where gentle reworking in that sheltered environment had somewhat enriched and preserved the diamond content. Significantly, the low average stone size of ca. 0.5 cts/stn in this lower energy setting probably reflects that of the general diamond population available at that time. In contrast, the sand-rich subtidal deposits in the spit sequence return the lowest grades (0.1 to 0.5 cpht), similar to those in the slightly younger, subtidal transgressive boulder lags of the barrier beaches. However, the stone size in the spit subtidal sediments is also low (0.1 to 0.5 cts/stn) due to the highly mobile, fine-grained character of those deposits, whereas that in the subtidal transgressive lag is large (2 to 3 cts/stn) as a result of the local, semi-permanent turbulence associated with the boulder-sized clasts in these gravel sheets. Diamond distribution is therefore also influenced by littoral facies and associated beach types, in addition to the spatial and temporal parameters that have already been documented for the onshore marine placers of the southern Namibian coast.  相似文献

罗家窝棚组是哈尔滨地区的第四纪下限地层,其岩性是紫红色砂砾石,被认为是冰碛物堆积。早期的区测资料对其进行了岩性描述,对于其它地层属性,特别是地球化学属性的认识尚未涉及。为此,本文选择黑龙江五常拉林镇罗家窝棚村层型剖面作为研究对象,首次对其沉积学、矿物学、元素地球化学展开综合研究,以揭示其沉积过程和沉积环境。结果表明,这套砾石分选和磨圆较差,风化程度很高,无定向性排列,砾石成分以陆源碎屑岩(砂岩和粉砂岩,44.2%)和花岗岩(37.4%)为主,其次为凝灰岩(11.2%),石英质、闪长岩、流纹岩和玄武岩等少量出现。重矿物组成以赤/褐铁矿占绝对优势(87.5%),其次是白钛石(5.0%),其它重矿物含量较少。元素地球化学揭示,罗家窝棚组中的细颗粒碎屑以及泥质基质经历了很强的化学风化过程,是初次循环的结果。砾石岩性和地球化学组成共同揭示了这些碎屑主要来源于长英质母岩,但中性和铁镁质母岩也有少量贡献。综合沉积学、矿物学和地球化学地层属性,本文认为罗家窝棚组地层是在炎热气候条件下的洪积物堆积,而非寒冷气候条件下的冰碛物。这项研究对于哈尔滨地区第四纪地层的划分和早更新世构造—地貌—气候—水系演化等地质事件的重建具有重要意义。  相似文献
