Caledonide influences on the Old Red Sandstone fluvial systems of the Oslo Region,Norway

Red or buff‐coloured sandstones and siltstones of fluvial origin comprise approximately 80% of the Ringerike Group, a late Silurian Old Red Sandstone (ORS) sequence that crops out extensively in the Oslo Region of southern Norway. These fluvial sediments are lithostratigraphically ascribed to two laterally equivalent formations—the Stubdal Formation (to the north of Oslo) and the Skien Formation (to the south of Oslo). The fluvial strata of each of the two formations have a distinct style of sandbody geometry, facies, provenance, and palaeocurrent direction. Within the Stubdal Formation, shallow channelized sandbodies, low‐ to upper‐flow regime sedimentary structures, a Caledonide provenance and a palaeoflow toward the southeast are evident. Within the Skien Formation, sandbody geometry is entirely sheet form, with upper‐flow regime sedimentary structures, a provenance from Precambrian rocks to the northern and local parts of the Oslo Region and a palaeoflow toward the east. No stratal contact can be seen between the two fluvial formations, due to a 15 km break in exposure between the southernmost Stubdal Formation and the northernmost Skien Formation. Relationships with adjacent formations indicate that they are diachronous, lateral equivalents. Given the abrupt change in sedimentary style between the two formations, it is proposed that a barrier had developed within the foreland basin, diverting the ORS fluvial systems in southern Norway, from a southward (north of Oslo), to an eastward direction (south of Oslo). This diversion had implications for depositional gradient, fluvial regime and provenance, resulting in the differences visible in the deposits of those rivers. The barrier invoked is arguably a Caledonide blind thrust fault that developed a topographic high, running east–west through the vicinity of Oslo, during the late Silurian.

江汉盆地潜江凹陷潜三段古地貌与砂体成因分析

蚌湖洼陷是潜江凹陷潜江组的沉积、沉降中心,其两侧砂体的成因与分布是一个有争议的问题。通过岩心观察、水动力条件及碎屑锆石定年分析,明确了蚌湖洼陷两侧砂体的成因联系;进一步通过连续地层单元内的沉积古地貌恢复,明确了古地貌与砂体分布的关系。研究认为潜江凹陷潜三段沉积时期北部发育荆门地堑与汉水地堑两大物源体系,中部发育蚌湖-王场洼陷,西部发育丫角-新沟低凸起及斜坡带,东部为斜坡带,南部则为缓坡带。潜三段沉积时期,蚌湖洼陷南部的砂体既不是前人认为的“盐湖密度流”越过蚌湖洼陷的沉积产物,也不是牵引流横穿蚌湖洼陷搬运而来,而是牵引流经西部斜坡上的古沟谷搬运沉积下来的。     

柴达木盆地北缘侏罗系含煤研究

柴达木盆地北缘从西至东分布有格斯煤田、塞什腾煤田、鱼卡煤田、全吉煤田、德令哈煤田以及乌兰煤田,延展长度约800km。各含煤盆地的分布、地层、岩性、含煤性、岩相古地理特征均存在较大的差异,综合分析后可将柴北缘侏罗系含煤地层划分为西、中、东三段,中、东段进一步划分为北、中、南三个条带。区内含煤地层为侏罗系下统小煤沟组、中统大煤沟组、石门沟组,东段和西段下侏罗统发育,在中段则局部发育,中、东段的北、南两个条带下侏罗统发育不全,中条带下侏罗统发育较全;中侏罗统全区普遍发育;含煤性总体表现为西段较差,中段较好,南、北条带较差,中条带较好。探讨煤系赋存规律,为寻找隐覆的含煤区提供理论依据,对于指导柴北缘地区的预测找煤和资源勘查具有重要意义。     

川中—川南地区上三叠统沉积相研究

综合分析岩心、露头剖面和测井资料,认为川中—川南地区上三叠统发育三角洲相和湖泊相,其中,三角洲相可进一步划分为三角洲平原、三角洲前缘和前三角洲三个亚相,湖泊相则可细分为滨湖和浅湖两个亚相。不同时期三角洲相和湖泊相发育程度不同。须一段、须三段、须五段和须六段以湖泊沉积为主,由东向西,水体逐渐加深。须二段和须四段以三角洲沉积为主,湖泊沉积分布范围较小。须二段发育时期,研究区北部构造活动强烈,沉积物供给充分,三角洲相主要由北向南延伸;须四段沉积时期,由于北部构造活动逐渐减弱,东南部沉积物供给增加,三角洲相主要由东南向西北方向延伸。随着周缘构造活动的变化,研究区沉积范围逐渐扩大。早期沉积范围仅局限于宜宾—泸州以北地区,中晚期沉积范围扩大,宜宾—泸州以南地区开始接收沉积。     

北部湾盆地福山凹陷古近纪湖底扇沉积演化及模式探讨

综合应用地震、测井及岩心观察资料，对福山凹陷古近纪流沙港组的湖底扇沉积进行了详细研究。认为该期的湖底扇沉积主要是由于三角洲前缘带的砂体在重力作用下进入湖泊深水区堆积而形成，部分是由位于湖盆陡坡边缘的河道砂沿水下河道进入湖泊深水区而形成的水下重力流沉积。从空间分布来看，湖底扇主要分布在凹陷的北部和西部，且北部和西部湖底扇的扇体规模较东部大，存活时间较东部长。平面上湖底扇位于三角洲体系的外侧，垂向上由下至上发育着从湖底扇一三角洲前缘远端一三角洲前缘近端的沉积演化序列。湖底扇的总体沉积模式为南部的辫状河三角洲砂岩碎屑体向北推进至深湖区形成孤立的、规模相对较大的湖底扇砂体；而西部及东部的次要物源——辫状河三角洲也在东西两侧活动断层的控制下在湖盆深处形成湖底扇沉积体。     

Distribution, migration and derivation of Mesozoic-Cenozoic regional fault systems in the central continental margin of eastern China

Deep-large faults in the central continental margin of eastern China are well developed. Based on the regularity of spatial and temporal distribution of the faults, four fault systems were divided: the Yanshan orogenic belt fault system, the Qinling-Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt fault system, the Tanlu fault system and the East China Sea shelf basin-Okinawa trough fault system. The four fault systems exhibit different migration behaviors. The Yanshan orogenic belt fault system deflected from an EW to a NE direction, then to a NNE direction during the Indo-Chinese epoch-Yanshanian epoch. The thrust-nappe strength of the Qinling-Dabie orogenic belt fault system showed the tendency that the strength was greater in the south and east, but weaker in the north and west. This fault system faulted in the east and folded in the west from the Indo-Chinese epoch to the early Yanshanian epoch. At the same time, the faults also had a diachronous migration from east to west from the Indo-Chinese epoch to the early Yanshanian epoch. On the contrary, the thrust-nappe strength was greater in the north and west, weaker in the south and east during the late Yanshanian epoch-early Himalayan epoch. The Tanlu fault system caused the basin to migrate from west to east and south to north. The migration regularity of the East China Sea shelf basin-Okinawa trough fault system shows that the formation age became younger in the west. The four fault systems and their migration regularities were respectively the results of four different geodynamic backgrounds. The Yanshan orogenic belt fault system derived from the intracontinental orogeny. The Qinling-Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt fault system derived from the collision of plates and intracontinental subduction. The Tanlu fault system derived from the strike-slip movement and the East China Sea shelf basin-Okinawa trough fault system derived from plate subduction and retreat of the subduction belt.

The biostratigraphy and formational relationships of the upper aeronian and lower telychian (llandovery,silurian) formations of western mid-wales

The stratigraphical relationships of the upper Aeronian-lower Telychian formations in the Aberystwyth area are examined in the light of a new biostratigraphical subdivision of this interval based on graptolites, in which part of the Monograptus turriculatus Biozone is divided into six subzones and the Stimulograptus halli Biozone is resurrected. In the Aberystwyth area (B.G.S. 1:50 000 Sheet 163 (1984)) there is shown to be greater diachroneity of formational —boundaries than previously recognized. Notably, the Cwmsymlog Formation facies persisted in the northeast of the area far longer than anywhere else, due to the persistence of a bathymetric high into the lower Telychian. Also, the basal beds of the Aberystwyth Grits in the west of the area are shown to be of the same age as the uppermost beds of the Devil's Bridge Formation in the east. Thus for a short period the area was subject to turbiditic incursions from two sources. The degree of diachroneity of the base of the Aberystwyth Grits Formation as a whole is less than previously thought — the oldest beds are approximately one subzone older in the south than in the north. The core of the in the clinal pericline responsible for the crescentic outcrop pattern of the Aberystwyth Grits is demonstrated to lie in the vicinity of Llanrhystud, rather than at Aberarth as previously suggested. Four new graptolite species are described and one new genus is erected.     

Sequence stratigraphy of the Mancos Shale,lower Tres Hermanos Formation,and coeval middle Cenomanian to middle Turonian strata,southern New Mexico,USA

Sequence stratigraphic analysis of four widely spaced outcrops of middle Cenomanian to middle Turonian strata deposited in the Western Interior foreland basin in southern New Mexico, USA, defines ten sequence boundaries in a marine shale‐rich interval ca 200 m thick. The majority of sequence boundaries are based on basinward shifts in lithofacies characterized by either a non‐Waltherian contact between distal‐bar or lower shoreface sandstone and underlying lower offshore shale, or an erosional contact between distal‐bar or lower shoreface sandstone and underlying upper offshore shale. The sequence boundaries commonly correlate basinward to packages of storm‐deposited sandstone and to beds of sandy grainstone composed of winnowed inoceramid shell fragments. In several cases, however, the sequence boundaries pass basinward into presumably conformable successions of lower offshore shale. Maximum flooding surfaces within the sequences are represented by one or more beds of locally phosphatized globiginerid wackestone and packstone or exist within a conformable succession of lower offshore shale. Following initial south/south‐westward transgression into the study area, the regional trend of palaeoeshorelines was north‐west to south‐east, although isopach data indicate that lobes of sandstone periodically spread south‐eastward across the study area. The ten sequences in the study area are arranged into a third‐order composite megasequence that is characterized by overall upward‐deepening followed by upward‐shallowing of sequences. The composite megasequence is similar but not identical to the previously established T‐1 transgression and R‐1 regression in New Mexico. Based on radioisotopic dates of bentonites, the average frequency of the sequences within the study area was ca 327 kyr, which is consistent with fourth‐order cycles of ca 400 kyr interpreted in coeval marine strata elsewhere in the world.     

中国东部陆缘中区中-新生代区域断裂系统时空分布特征、迁移规律及成因类型

中国东部陆缘中区中-新生代深大断裂十分发育.根据断裂的时空分布规律,可划分出4个断裂系:燕山造山带断裂系、秦岭-大别-苏鲁造山带断裂系、郯庐断裂系及东海陆架盆地-冲绳海槽断裂系.4个断裂系具有各自不同的断裂迁移规律:燕山造山带印支-燕山期断裂具有从早至晚从EW→NE→NNE向偏转迁移规律;秦岭-大别造山带北麓逆冲推覆作用的强度在印支-燕山早期表现出南强北弱、东强西弱和东断西褶趋势,同时具有由东向西由早到晚穿时迁移演化特征,燕山末期-喜山早期则相反,表现出北强南弱、西强东弱的构造特征;郯庐断裂系的活动对盆地的控制作用具有由早到晚由西向东、由南向北迁移规律;东海陆架盆地-冲绳海槽断裂的形成时代具有明显的从西向东越来越新的迁移规律.4个断裂系及构造迁移规律分别是板块碰撞-陆内俯冲、陆内造山、走滑、板块俯冲后退4种不同地球动力学背景中的产物.     

Die Kreide in der Zentralkordillere östlich von Lima (Peru,Südamerika)

Lower and Upper Cretaceous sediments were investigated in the Peruvian Central Cordillera. As in the western facies of Central and Northern Peru, the Goyllarisquisga Group is subdivided into several lithologically different formations, in which sediments were transported from east to west. The area of investigation is situated west of the facies boundary between Marañon geanticline and West Peruvian trough; this indicates that the boundary continues south and does not follow the line Celendin-Rio Palanga as suggested byWilson. The limestones and dolomites of the Santa Formation were deposited in shallow water, possibly with intermittent subaerial exposure. The sandstone of the Farrat Formation are interpreted to be sediments of a west-east transgression; vertically they grade into the limestones of the Pariahuanca-Formation. Facies and thickness of the Chulec and Pariahuanca-Formation are little different from those in neighbouring areas. During deposition of the thick Jumasha Formation, the differences are much more significant, and only comparison with Northwest Peru shows some agreement.     

Structural history of the Arthur Lineament,northwest Tasmania: An analysis of critical outcrops

The Arthur Lineament of northwestern Tasmania is a Cambrian (510 ± 10 Ma) high‐strain metamorphic belt. In the south it is composed of metasedimentary and mafic meta‐igneous lithologies of the ‘eastern’ Ahrberg Group, Bowry Formation and a high‐strain part of the Oonah Formation. Regionally, the lineament separates the Rocky Cape Group correlates and ‘western’ Ahrberg Group to its west from the relatively low‐strain parts of the Oonah Formation, and the correlated Burnie Formation, to its east. Early folding and thrusting caused emplacement of the allochthonous Bowry Formation, which is interpreted to occur as a fault‐bound slice, towards the eastern margin of the parautochthonous ‘eastern’ Ahrberg Group metasediments. The early stages of formation of the Arthur Lineament involved two folding events. The first deformation (CaD₁) produced a schistose axial‐planar fabric and isoclinal folds synchronous with thrusting. The second deformation (CaD₂) produced a coarser schistosity and tight to isoclinal folds. South‐plunging, north‐south stretching lineations, top to the south shear sense indicators, and south‐verging, downward‐facing folds in the Arthur Lineament suggest south‐directed transport. CaF₁ and CaF₂ were rotated to a north‐south trend in zones of high strain during the CaD₂ event. CaD₃, later in the Cambrian, folded the earlier foliations in the Arthur Lineament and produced west‐dipping steep thrusts, creating the linear expression of the structure.     

Lateral and vertical changes of deformation style in the osen-røa thrust sheet,Oslo region

Changes in deformation style and amounts of shortening in the Osen-Røa thrust sheet of the Oslo Region occur vertically and laterally approaching the thrust front in the south. Deformation in the CambroMiddle Ordovician sequence passes laterally from closely spaced imbricates in the north (50–60% shortening), through triangle, pop-up and imbricate zones toward the south (20–37% shortening) to widely spaced zones of deformation (up to 20% shortening) approaching the thrust front. Changes in deformation style are attributed to changing boundary conditions across the Klekken thrust, declining end-of-orogenic forces and an increase in thickness of competent units in the Ordovician rocks to the south. Vertical changes in deformation style are attributed to the increasing percentage of competent units upward in the Cambro-Silurian sedimentary rocks. In the north, the accompanying decrease in shortening upwards requires a structurally necessary upper detachment horizon to separate folded late Middle Ordovician-Silurian sediments from imbricated early Cambro-Middle Ordovician sediments below; while southward in the Oslo area the upper detachment needs to be placed between Silurian and Cambro-Ordovician units. Finally, in Eiker, with less than 20% shortening, the whole CambroSilurian sequence appears to have deformed as a single unit. In the northern Oslo Region, the upper detachment probably has a backthrust sense of motion above an imbricate stack (passive roof duplex). Further south the upper detachment is probably directed toward the foreland.

Late Cenozoic Deformation Sequence of a Thrust System along the Eastern Margin of Pamir, Northwest China

A thrust belt formed in the basin along the eastern margin of Pamir. The thrust belt is about 50 km wide, extends about 200 km, and includes three compressive structures from south to north: the blind Qipan structural wedge and Qimugen structural wedge, and the exposed Yengisar anticline. The thrust belt displays a right-stepping en echelon pattern. The Qipan structural wedge dies out northward to the west of the Qimugen structural wedge, and the Qimugen structural wedge dies out northward to the west of the Yengisar anticline. Detailed analysis of seismic reflection profiles of the western Tarim Basin reveal that fan-shaped growth strata were deposited in the shallow part of the thrust belt, recording the deformation sequence of the thrust belt. The depth of the Cenozoic growth strata decreases from south to north. The growth strata of the Qipan structural wedge is located in the middle-lower section of the Pliocene Artux Formation (N2a), the growth strata of the Qimugen structural wedge is close to the bottom of the Pleistocene Xiyu Formation (Q1x), and the growth strata of the Yengisar anticline is located in the middle section of the Xiyu Formation (Q1x). Combined with magnetostratigraphic studies in the western Tarim basin, it can be preliminarily inferred that the deformation sequence of the thrust belt along the eastern margin of Pamir is progressively younger northward. The geometry and kinematic evolution of the thrust belt in the eastern margin of Pamir can be compared with previous analogue modeling experiments of transpressional deformation, suggesting that the thrust belt was formed in a transpressional tectonic setting.

松辽盆地西斜坡上白垩统青山口组二段及三段底部四级层序格架下沉积微相分布

综合利用地震、录井、测井、岩心资料,建立了松辽盆地西斜坡上白垩统青山口组二段及三段底部四级层序地层格架,查明了四级层序格架内沉积微相的空间分布。青山口组二段划分为2个四级层序(Cg4、Cg3),每个四级层序均可划分为湖泊扩张体系域和湖泊收缩体系域,分别命名为Eg4、Sg4,Eg3、Sg3。西斜坡青山口组二段及三段底部的沉积格局为滨浅湖沉积体(砂坝、泥滩、混合滩)和三角洲前缘沉积体(河口坝、远砂坝)共存。Eg4沉积时期发育了物源来自西部与北部的4个三角洲前缘沉积体,沉积体之间发育滨浅湖混合滩;Sg4沉积时期三角洲沉积体规模较前期扩大,并且发育了物源来自西北方向的三角洲。Eg3沉积时期物源来自西部及北部的三角洲向东推进,东北部三角洲前缘沉积体萎缩;Sg3沉积时期以三角洲前缘沉积占优势,三角洲前缘沉积体错叠连片,滨浅湖沉积大量减少。青山口组二段及三段底部自下而上,沉积区范围和三角洲前缘沉积体的规模逐渐扩大。     

鄂尔多斯盆地晚三叠世延长组湖盆演化及石油聚集规律

延长组湖岸线、深湖线及湖盆底形恢复显示,延长组湖盆具有向西南部迁移,再向东北部迁移的演化特点。长6期湖盆底形具有"南陡北缓、西陡东缓"的特点,盆地中心位于庙湾以北、正宁以东、甘泉以南地带,造成盆地东北部为缓坡型三角洲体系,而西南部为陡坡型辫状河三角洲,前缘末端发育浊积扇。延长组划分为5个三级层序,控制了4套生储盖的分布。延长组湖盆演化与石油的聚集关系密切,湖岸线附近的三角洲前缘是油气的主要富集区,深湖区的浊积砂体也具有一定的储集性能和良好的成藏条件。东北部、西南部主要成藏组合及深湖浊积岩的特征表明,可以进一步向盆地腹地扩大勘探。     

塔北隆起-库车坳陷西段差异构造变形特征及其控制因素

塔北隆起-库车坳陷是塔里木盆地重要的油气富集区,探讨区域构造特征及主要控制因素对油气勘探具有重要意义。利用地球物理资料,应用生长地层及应力学分析方法对研究区地震剖面进行解释与复原,并对区域内主要新生界生长构造发育的时序进行界定。研究结果表明,区内东西段构造挤压时间及变形特征存在明显差异。新生界挤压构造发育时间自东向西由早到晚,沿古近系滑脱面,新生界构造变形自北部向盆内传播的距离差别显著:西段传播距离较远,东段较近;西部滑脱构造发育,冲断构造较少,中、东部相反,新生界构造变形局限于库车坳陷内。通过综合对比分析,造山带挤压背景下区域内古应力场在古近纪后发生明显的逆时针压扭,古近系膏泥岩层为构造变形向盆内传播提供了重要条件,大型冲断构造的发育及坳隆转换带基底的挠曲有效地释放分解了来自北部的挤压作用,这是区内构造特征东西差异的主要原因。     

塔里木巴楚隆起北缘吐木休克楔形基底卷入构造

石油地震资料揭示出塔里木盆地中央巴楚隆起为结晶基底和古生代地层相对隆升区,多数地区缺失中新生界,顶部为第四系陆相碎屑岩不整合覆盖隐伏隆起。在隆起南北两侧构造变形比较强烈,均发育基底卷入的逆冲构造和古生界内逆冲构造。运用断层相关褶皱理论,通过对研究区的二维地震测网解释及钻井标定,综合研究得出巴楚隆起北侧吐木休克卷入基底逆冲断层倾向南,向北逆冲,前寒武系基底到早古生代地层被错断。新生代时期的生长地层特征指示基底卷入构造于古近纪、中新世-上新世和更新世均有活动。构造分析表明基底卷入构造于中生代末期还有一次活动,说明吐木休克构造由多期构造运动形成。向北逆冲的吐木休克基底断层和盖层褶皱构造的向南反冲逆冲断层或滑脱断层共同组成基底卷入楔形构造,楔形点同时位于基底和盖层中。盖层构造以中寒武统膏岩为滑动面,向南逆冲,发育断层扩展或滑脱背斜构造。基底断层和盖层滑脱断层在剖面上组成典型的楔形构造几何形态,平面上形成三角形构造。地震剖面综合解释成果图显示,吐木休克弧形逆冲构造东部盖层反冲构造,即基底卷入楔形构造表现较为清楚,向西则表现不太明显,但地震反射波组(地层转折)指示盖层中仍存在这些反冲构造。纵向地震剖面和联络地震剖面均显示出存在该类构造。吐木休克基底卷入断层弧形构造顶部位移最大,盖层变形相对最小;向东西两侧基底断层位移逐渐减小,盖层构造位移相应逐渐增加。研究认为,塔里木巴楚隆起系挤压作用下,刚性地壳发生挠曲而形成的变形区带。     

鄂尔多斯盆地及周缘地区上石炭统沉积特征
