Recent studies in northern Switzerland have shown that epicontinental areas thought to have been tectonically stable during the Mesozoic were not necessarily as rigid as presumed. By comparing Oxfordian facies boundaries and depocenters in their palinspastic position with known faults in the basement, a direct relationship between the two can be demonstrated. Previously, the lack of obvious synsedimentary tectonic features has lulled scientists into believing that the realm of the Swiss Jura was tectonically stable during the Mesozoic. However, it can be shown that facies and sedimentary structures are largely influenced by tectonics. Subsurface data provide evidence for the presence of Paleozoic troughs in the basement which, apparently, were prone to reactivation during the Pan-European stress-field reorganization taking place in the Late Jurassic. This led to differential subsidence along pre-existing lineaments within the study area, which can be recognized in the distribution of Oxfordian epicontinental basins and their coeval shallow-water counterparts. Eustatic sea-level fluctuations played an important role in the development of shallow-water facies patterns, but a subordinate role in the control of accommodation space in basins.
While tectonic activity is often recorded in the sedimentary record in the form of platform break-ups and associated sedimentary debris, more subtle indicators may be overlooked or even misinterpreted. Sedimentary structures and isopach maps, as well as subsurface data in the study area suggest that subtle synsedimentary tectonic movements led to the formation of two shallow, diachronous epicontinental basins during the Late Jurassic. It becomes possible to recognize and differentiate the combined effects of local and regional tectonism, eustasy and sedimentation. 相似文献

The carbon isotope measurements, carried out on subsurface carbonate samples from Oxfordian Jaisalmer Formation, western India, yield positive d13C values up to +3.17%. The most positive Oxfordian C-isotope value corresponds to the carbon isotope excursion measured in samples from from other late Jurassic basins of world. The latest Oxfordian C-isotope values of Jaisalmer Basin fluctuate around 2% while the C-isotope values of 1.50% mark the base of Kimmeridgian. The Oxfordian C-isotope excursion appears to correspond to a time of overall increased organic carbon burial triggered by increased nutrient transfer from continents to oceans during a time of rising global sea level. 相似文献

A detailed study of the lithologies of each of the beds present in the Osmington Oolite Formation of south Dorset is used to allocate numerous loose-collected ammonites to their correct stratigraphic horizons. Much new material has been collected by the author in addition to the limited amount of material available in museum collections. The age of the faunas of the three constituent members of the Osmington Oolite Formation is each assessed and placed into the context of Middle Oxfordian ammonite sequences elsewhere in England and in Europe. 相似文献

Detailed investigation of facies and sedimentary structures reveals that, during the Middle Oxfordian to Late Kimmeridgian,
the shallow carbonate platform of the Swiss and French Jura Mountains recorded high-frequency sea-level fluctuations quite
faithfully. The cyclostratigraphic analysis within the established biostratigraphic and sequence-chronostratigraphic framework
implies that the resulting hierarchically stacked depositional sequences formed in tune with the orbital cycles of precession
(20 kyr) and eccentricity (100 and 400 kyr). The astronomical time scale presented here is based on the correlation of 19
platform sections and 4 hemipelagic sections from south-eastern France where good biostratigraphic control is available. The
cyclostratigraphic interpretation suggests that the interval between sequence boundaries Ox4 and Kim1 (early Middle Oxfordian
to earliest Kimmeridgian) lasted 3.2 myr and that the Kimmeridgian sensu gallico has a duration of 3.2 to 3.3 myr. The astronomical time scale proposed here is compared to time scales established by other
authors in other regions and the discrepancies are discussed. Despite these discrepancies, there is a potential to estimate
the durations of ammonite zones and depositional sequences more precisely and to better evaluate the rates of sedimentary,
ecological and diagenetic processes.

A very high-resolution carbon and oxygen stable isotope analysis (bulk-carbonate) of a biostratigraphically well-constrained Callovian–Oxfordian series is provided here for the first time. The homogeneity of the clayey series and the weak diagenetic alteration allow the isotopic signal variations to be considered as primary in origin. A prominent and brief negative excursion in the δ13C curve (−2‰), occurring at the start of the Middle Callovian (Jason Zone – Obductum Subzone) and correlated regionally, suggests a possible methane release. The increasing δ13C values thereafter up to the Early Oxfordian, concomitant with a warming episode, highlight the burial of carbon in organic-rich layers which, in return, may have triggered a decrease in atmospheric pCO2. At higher frequencies, observed fluctuations of the δ13C and δ18O values are orbitally driven (405-kyr and 100-kyr eccentricity cycles) and may correspond to the salinity and temperature variability recorded in sea water. The δ18O isotopic measurements from well-preserved diagenetically screened belemnites and bivalves along the series, compared to available data from Tethyan domains, agree with the scenario of a global cooling at the Middle-Late Jurassic transition. The well-dated δ18O isotopic curve suggests that the onset of this cooling event occurred at the end of the Coronatum Zone (Middle Callovian). 相似文献

A study of new material of Cylindroporella ? lusitanica Ramalho, 1970, from the Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian) strata of Portugal identified features not observed previously. This includes the pattern of its laterals, including the gametophores. The algal body plan is unique and justifies the taxonomic reassessment of this species and the introduction of Barattoloporellopsis n. gen. Furthermore this species is most likely a primitive Dasycladaceae, a “missing link” between the modern ones (starting from the Cretaceous times) and their Jurassic ancestors. 相似文献

The Oxfordian–Lower Hauterivian section of the Nordvik Peninsula (northern Central Siberia) is a reference for developing zonal scales for various fossil groups and improving the Boreal zonal standard. In the middle 1950s–late 1980s, it was studied extensively by geologists, stratigraphers, lithologists, and experts on various fossil groups. These studies yielded rich fossil and microfossil collections and a set of parallel zonal scales for various faunal groups. Recently, a new detailed ammonite zonation of the Oxfordian and Kimmeridgian units of this section has been proposed. These results contradict the previous biostratigraphic data on ammonites, foraminifers, and palynomorphs. In the present paper, all the biostratigraphic data on the Oxfordian and Kimmeridgian units of the Nordvik Peninsula (Cape Urdyuk-Khaya) and northern Central Siberia undergo a comprehensive analysis and comparison with those on the Boreal Realm. The ammonite-constrained stratigraphic position of the lower Upper Jurassic in the Cape Urdyuk-Khaya section is interpreted as Upper Oxfordian or Middle Oxfordian. In our view, this difference in the understanding is due to the misidentification of some Oxfordian ammonite forms. The zones based on other fossil groups (foraminifers, dinocysts) which were distinguished in the Upper Oxfordian and Kimmeridgian sections of the Nordvik Peninsula are well traceable circumarctically. Their stratigraphic position in various regions of the Northern Hemisphere is constrained by ammonites and bivalves. However, if we use the last alternative ammonite zonation of this section part, hardly explicable contradictions will appear in interregional foraminiferal and dinocyst correlations. 相似文献

Bathonian to Oxfordian strata occur onshore in two principal locations over 30 km apart on the coast of the Moray Firth, at Brora and Balintore. The existing lithostratigraphy has the same formation names applied to both successions despite profound differences, exemplified in their schemes of local members. Furthermore, three of the formation names include the same place name, and use obsolete lithological terms. 相似文献
