兰坪金顶超大型铅锌矿床含矿岩石沉积特征

云南兰坪金顶超大型铅锌矿含矿岩石的成因一直存在正常沉积和非正常沉积两种对立的观点。为了查明其成因,从矿区开采露头和岩芯观察描述出发,以矿区填图为基础,通过对含矿岩石的岩石学特征、粒度和沉积构造等相标志分析,确定了金顶超大型铅锌矿含矿岩石属于湖底扇深水重力流沉积,并识别出非沟道体系的液化流和沟道体系的砂质碎屑流、浊流等类型,进一步划分出内扇、中扇和外扇三个亚相。该湖底扇平面展布为自矿区东部至西部粒度明显由粗变细,岩性由厚层—块状灰岩岩块构成的角砾岩相逐渐过渡到交错层理发育的中细粒砂岩相,其中砂质碎屑流沉积体具有良好的储集层物性特征,亦是重要的含矿岩石,具有广阔的勘探前景。

宁夏香山群徐家圈组发现深水复合流沉积构造

宁夏香山群徐家圈组是由灰绿、黄绿色轻微变质中—细粒砂岩、钙质砂岩及粉砂岩和页岩(板岩)组成的深水沉积。在上部灰绿色页岩所夹的中层钙质粉砂岩中发现了复合流层理、准平行层理、不对称小型丘状交错层理;在下部灰绿色厚层—块状中—细粒长石石英砂岩的顶面发现了小型波痕,波痕的形态、波长与波高的分布规律均表现出复合流(combined-flow)的沉积特征。本文根据水槽实验和现代海洋沉积观测所总结出的复合流底床相图和前人在研究地层中较浅海浊流(超重流)与波浪所形成的复合流沉积时给出的复合流沉积示意图,分别对徐家圈组所发现的①小型2D波痕至小型3D波痕的演化和②复合流层理、平行层理、准平行层理和小型丘状交错层理的叠置关系及其纹层所反映的流动方向与沉积时浊流方向的关系,进行了解释。结果表明,所发现的复合流层理、准平行层理、不对称小型丘状交错层理及小型波痕应为复合流沉积,并依据徐家圈组存在内波、内潮汐沉积的事实,推测为深水短周期内波与浊流形成的复合流沉积。这可能是地层中深水复合流沉积构造的首次发现,同时也是内波与浊流形成的复合流沉积的首次发现。     

Identification and micro‐stratigraphy of hyperpycnites and turbidites in Cretaceous Lewis Shale,Wyoming

Sandy hyperpycnal flows and their deposits, hyperpycnites, have been documented in modern environments and, more recently, in Cretaceous and Tertiary strata; they may be more common in the rock record, and within petroleum reservoirs, than has been previously thought. Muddy hyperpycnites also occur within the rock record, but these are more difficult to document because of their finer‐grained nature and lack of common sedimentary structures. This paper documents the presence of submarine slope mudstone and siltstone hyperpycnites (and muddy turbidites) in the delta‐fed, Upper Cretaceous Lewis Shale of Wyoming; based on field measurements, analyses of rock slabs and thin sections, and laser grain‐size distributions. Four lithofacies comprise laminated and thin‐bedded mudstones that are associated with levéed channel sandstones: (L1) grey, laminated, graded mudstone with thin siltstone and sandstone interbeds; (L2) dark grey to tan, laminated mudstone with very thin siltstone and sandstone stringers; (L3) light grey, laminated siltstones; and (L4) laminated mudstones and siltstones with thin sandstone interbeds. Two styles of mudstone grain‐size grading have been documented. The first type is an upward‐fining interval that typically ranges in thickness from 2·5 to 5 cm. The second type is a couplet of a lower, upward‐coarsening interval and an upper, upward‐fining interval (sometimes separated by a micro‐erosion surface) which, combined, are about 3·8 cm thick. Both individual laminae and groups of laminae spaced millimetres apart exhibit these two grain‐size trends. Although sedimentary structures indicative of traction‐plus‐fallout sedimentary processes associated with sandier hyperpycnites are generally absent in these muddy sediments, the size grading patterns are similar to those postulated in the literature for sandy hyperpycnites. Thus, the combined upward‐coarsening, then upward‐fining couplets are interpreted to be the result of a progressive increase in river discharge during waxing and peak flood stage (upward increase in grain‐size), followed by waning flow after the flood begins to abate (upward decrease in grain‐size). The micro‐erosion surface that sometimes divides the two parts of the size‐graded couplet resulted from waxing flows of sufficiently high velocity to erode the sediment previously deposited by the same flow. Individual laminae sets which only exhibit upward‐fining trends could be either the result of waning flow deposition from either dilute turbidity currents or from hyperpycnal flows. The occurrence of these sets with the size‐graded couplets suggests that they are associated with hyperpycnal processes.     

Intra-clinothem variability in sedimentary texture and process regime recorded down slope profiles

Shelf-margin clinothem successions can archive process interactions at the shelf to slope transition, and their architecture provides constraints on the interplay of factors that control basin-margin evolution. However, detailed textural analysis and facies distributions from shelf to slope transitions remain poorly documented. This study uses quantitative grain-size and sorting data from coeval shelf and slope deposits of a single clinothem that crops out along a 5 km long, dip-parallel transect of the Eocene Sobrarbe Deltaic Complex (Ainsa Basin, south-central Pyrenees, Spain). Systematic sampling of sandstone beds tied to measured sections has captured vertical and basinward changes in sedimentary texture and facies distributions at an intra-clinothem scale. Two types of hyperpycnal flow-related slope deposits, both rich in mica and terrestrial organic matter, are differentiated according to grain size, sorting and bed geometry: (i) sustained hyperpycnal flow deposits, which are physically linked to coarse channelized sediments in the shelf setting and which deposit sand down the complete slope profile; (ii) episodic hyperpycnal flow deposits, which are disconnected from, and incise into, shelf sands and which are associated with sediment bypass of the proximal slope and coarse-grained sand deposition on the medial and distal slope. Both types of hyperpycnites are interbedded with relatively homogenous, organic-free and mica-free, well-sorted, very fine-grained sandstones, which are interpreted to be remobilized from wave-dominated shelf environments; these wave-dominated deposits are found only on the proximal and medial slope. Coarse-grained sediment bypass into the deeper-water slope settings is therefore dominated by episodic hyperpycnal flows, whilst sustained hyperpycnal flows and turbidity currents remobilizing wave-dominated shelf deposits are responsible for the full range of grain sizes in the proximal and medial slope, thus facilitating clinoform progradation. This novel dataset highlights previously undocumented intra-clinothem variability related to updip changes in the shelf process-regime, which is therefore a key factor controlling downdip architecture and resulting sedimentary texture.

湖相深水块状砂岩特征、成因及发育模式——以南堡凹陷东营组为例

块状砂岩因其厚度大、储层物性较好而成为深水沉积油气勘探开发中最重要的目标。沉积构造相对简单,但变化迅速且组构特征多变。为了探索不同块状砂岩的成因及其联系,建立预测性地质模型,首先将南堡凹陷东营组深水块状砂岩分为2类8种岩相和10种岩相组合,其中单期砂层顶部常含漂浮状砾石,形态多变、内外源均有。本区块状砂岩成分成熟度差,结构成熟度不稳定,粒度累积概率曲线反映了3种搬运过程:多流体改造型、三角洲前缘继承型和混杂快速冻结型。成因分析认为,块状砂岩以砂质碎屑流搬运为主,真正碎屑流和颗粒流次之,并见部分砂质滑塌成因;常与浊流、泥流、泥质滑塌沉积伴生,发育5种相序组合,其中砂质碎屑流-浊流、砂质碎屑流-泥流组合最常见。高密度流体内沉积物浓度分层与特殊的流速剖面共同控制下塑性层流与牛顿紊流间的界面控制了漂浮状砾石搬运和沉积。最后,建立了陡坡带外源型、陡坡带内源型和缓坡地内源型深水沉积过程及块状砂岩发育模式,为断陷盆地深水沉积砂岩储层的预测提供了新思路。     

塔里木盆地塔中32井中上奥陶统内潮汐沉积

塔里木盆地塔中32井的中、上奥陶统钻遇厚度为1 462 m。它是一套巨厚的深灰色泥岩、页岩与灰色砂岩、粉砂岩互层夹少量灰岩的地层。其中深灰色泥岩、页岩最多；砂岩和粉砂岩主要分布于上部和下部，中部砂岩和粉砂岩较少；鲕粒灰岩数量少，主要夹于深灰色泥页岩中。这些砂岩和鲕粒灰岩既可单独成层，但更常见它们与深灰色泥页岩组合成薄互层。薄互层中发育脉状、波状和透镜状层理，并普遍发育交错层理和双向交错纹理。这些特征表明砂岩和鲕粒灰岩为深水斜坡上的内潮汐沉积的产物。这些内潮汐沉积进一步划分为4种类型：双向交错纹理细砂岩型、单向交错层和双向交错纹理中-细砂岩型、韵律性砂泥岩薄互层型和鲕粒灰岩型。它们具有5种垂向沉积层序，在剖面上常形成多旋回韵律性沉积组合。

The origin and economic potential of sandstone-hosted disseminated Pb-Zn mineralization in pyritic shale horizons of the Mid-Proterozoic Newland Formation,Montana, USA

Pyritic shale horizons of the Newland Formation (Belt Series, Mid-Proterozoic) show striking similarities to Proterozoic pyritic shales elsewhere that are host to major lead-zinc deposits, such as Mt. Isa and McArthur River. However, in contrast to these deposits the pyritic shales of the Newland Formation contain only minute quantities of lead and zinc. Elevated concentrations of lead and zinc are only found in pore spaces of intercalated sandstone beds. Petrographic and geochemical data indicate that pyritic shale deposition and elevated lead-zinc concentrations in sandstone beds are unrelated, that base metal mineralization is controlled by initial porosity, and that iron and base metals were derived from different sources.Petrographic studies show that base metal sulphides are diagenetic and resemble disseminated mineralization described from sandstone hosted lead-zinc and copper deposits in the Belt basin and elsewhere. The absence of orebodies of disseminated lead-zinc mineralization in sandstones of the Newland Formation may be due to a comparatively thin sedimentary sequence below the sandstone occurrences, as well as to unfavourable geometry and small volume of sandstone bodies.     

湖南邵阳地区茅口期晚期重力流沉积的发现及意义*

湖南邵阳市邵阳大道两侧出露的龙潭组下段(中二叠世茅口期晚期)发育一套地质特征典型、沉积序列明显的重力流沉积。重力流沉积以块状砂岩、粉砂岩及泥岩互层为主,砂岩底面发育有重荷模、槽模、工具痕及冲刷充填构造,砂岩内部有块状层理、平行层理、包卷层理及粒序层理,互层的泥岩中见类似于古网迹的痕迹化石。可识别出砂质碎屑流、浊流与滑塌沉积。剖面下部含泥砾块状砂岩发育,剖面中上部以发育薄到中厚层砂岩、粉砂岩与泥岩互层为特点。根据重力流沉积物特征及其垂向序列特征,建立了重力流沉积模式,将海底扇划分出内扇、中扇与外扇。通过与附近的短陂桥矿区的龙潭组下段沉积特征进行对比研究,结合华南地区岩相古地理特征,认为位于华南盆地范围的邵阳地区,在中二叠世茅口期晚期(龙潭组下段)发育的重力流沉积,可能意味着华南盆地在扬子陆块和华夏陆块之间的深大断裂在中二叠世末期曾经发生拉张,形成裂谷盆地。
