The use of diagenetic signatures to distinguish marine from continental deposits in Triassic-Jurassic sandstone reservoirs from the UK Central Graben

Poor biostratigraphic control for some Triassic-Jurassic successions in the North Sea Basin and sub-basins necessitates the use of alternative correlation methods. This study examines the use of diagenetic signatures to distinguish continenetal from marine sandstone successions (Triassic-Jurassic) in the UK Central Graben. The key diagenetic alterations encountered in these successions include kaolinitization of the framework grains and the development of sphaerosiderite and pyrite. The δ ¹³C_V-PDB values of siderite (−8.1 to −8.5‰) and of ankerite (−10.8 to −9.2‰), indicate a strong contribution of dissolved carbon from the decay of plant material in soil. However, marine water likely influenced diagenesis during periods of relative sea level rise by providing the dissolved sulfate (SO₄²⁻) required for the precipitation of pyrite. The presence of diagenetic alterations such as kaolinitization of framework grains and cementation by sphaerosiderite could indicate that the sediments were deposited in an overall continental setting. However, the occurrence of pyrite and scattered grains of deep-green colored glauconite suggests occasional marine influence. Such information on the changes of the diagenetic realm provides important clues for establishing a framework for stratigraphic correlations. Caution should be exercised when interpreting petrographic data as subsequent episodes of telodiagenesis can complicate petrographic interpretations.     

塔里木盆地三叠—侏罗系沉积相

塔里木盆地三叠系和侏罗系包含4个性质不同的陆相盆地。除早三叠世和晚侏罗世存在短暂的海泛之外,发育内陆湖泊及受其影响的陆相沉积,受构造影响明显,扇三角洲特别发育。库车盆地及塔北-塔中盆地湖域大小差别不大,但湖域位置有较大的变迁。塔西南和塔东南盆地的湖域大小变化很大,三叠纪湖盆较小且分布不连续;侏罗纪湖域扩大,且分别在塔东南和塔西南连片。     

塔里木盆地阿瓦提-满加尔坳陷三叠—侏罗纪沉积物源变迁

对塔里木盆地阿瓦提-满加尔坳陷三叠—侏罗纪的沉积物源从时空变化上进行了探讨.利用砂岩和砾岩的成分分析, 从纵向上研究沉积物源的演化, 认为包括沙雅前陆隆起在内的毗邻造山带的隆升是随着古生界的揭露而逐步隆起的; 利用岩相展布, 从平面上分析了沉积物源的变迁, 认为包括沙雅前陆隆起在内的周边物源区是与沉降中心同步发生反时针旋转的, 这种旋转与塔里木盆地的顺时针旋转有关      

Mo-related Adakitic Granitoids from Non-island-arc Setting: Jecheon Pluton of South Korea

Abstract. The Jecheon granitoids, having an elongated shape of NE-SW 27 km and NW-SE 13 km (190 km²), are composed mostly of magnetite-series hornblende-biotite granodiorite and biotite granite, which intrude into the Neoproterozoic metamor-phic and Paleozoic sedimentary rocks of the Ogcheon Belt. The granitoids have Triassic-Jurassic age of 202.7 ±1.9 Ma with very high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr initial ratio of 0.7140. The granodiorite has 63–69 % SiO₂, 15.1–17.3 % Al₂O₃, <1.6 % MgO, 6–15 ppm Y and Sr/Y ratios of 24–76, and is depleted in HREE. Biotite granite together, the Jecheon pluton has adakitic characteristics, which are unique in a continental tectonic setting. The granitoids may have been generated by partial melting of an older adakitic granitoid of I-type basement, or by separation of early crystallized garnet and hornblende from an anatectic melt.     

准噶尔西北缘前陆冲断带三叠纪-侏罗纪逆冲断裂活动的沉积响应

笔者从冲断活动的产物———各种成因扇体(冲积扇、水下扇、扇三角洲)出发,由160口单井剖面、15条联井剖面、8个层位平面渐次展开了准噶尔西北缘前陆冲断带三叠—侏罗纪逆冲断裂活动的沉积响应研究。三叠纪扇体在乌尔禾—夏子街地区发育叠置程度最好,T1b到T3b,其由盆内向盆缘老山方向退缩迁移明显,并具T1b到T2k1由盆缘向盆内、T2k2到T3b由盆内向盆缘迁移的2个进退波动变化。侏罗纪扇体在八道湾组最为发育,总体叠置关系较差,J1b到J2t,均呈由盆内向盆缘老山退缩沉积的退覆式迁移特征。三叠纪到侏罗纪,总体为由强到弱的退覆式冲断活动及扇体迁移模式,即随主要同生控扇断裂分布由盆缘向老山方向退缩迁移,冲断活动强度由盆缘向盆地方向逐渐减弱直至停息;相应地,各期扇体平面上分布规模渐小,总体呈由盆内向盆缘老山退缩迁移的沉积响应,两者耦合性良好。各类扇体的沉积分布受不同时期同生断裂活动的严格控制,其时空叠置及迁移规律的差异是红山嘴—车排子、克拉玛依—百口泉及乌尔禾—夏子街各构造带冲断作用地域性及作用强度差异性的沉积响应。进而引入“活动性指数”的概念与方法,对前陆冲断带同生断裂的冲断活动强度进行了定量化统计分析,并根据冲断推覆事件的地层、沉积标识划分出T1b-T3b、J1b-J2x、J2t三套构造层序,识别出三叠—侏罗纪的3个逆冲推覆幕、6次逆冲推覆事件。

西藏班公湖-怒江缝合带北缘多龙矿集区晚三叠世—侏罗纪增生杂岩结构及其对成矿地质背景的约束

西藏班公湖-怒江缝合带北缘多龙斑岩铜金矿集区出露的晚三叠世—侏罗纪增生杂岩属总体无序、局部有序的非史密斯地层,由基质和块体2个部分组成。基质为晚三叠世—侏罗纪砂泥质复理石建造,块体由大小不等的玄武岩、安山玄武岩、灰岩、砂岩、硅质岩、辉长岩、超基性岩等组成。增生杂岩系变形强烈,发育强烈的构造置换作用,块体与基质之间由透入性挤压面理、剪切面理或韧性剪切断层分隔,为典型造山带大陆增生边缘的增生杂岩。多龙斑岩铜矿的含矿斑岩体侵位于侏罗纪增生杂岩系或以侏罗纪增生杂岩系为基底的岛弧型火山岩系中,属增生楔基础上发育的具有超大型潜力的岛弧型斑岩铜金矿床,其外围的拿若、色拉、拿顿、地保那木岗、鹫山、铁格龙和尕尔勤等系列铜金铅锌矿床点,在空间上均赋存于早白垩世花岗闪长斑岩体内部及其与侏罗纪增生杂岩系的内外接触带中,受矿集区北东向走滑断裂的控制,呈北东向成群展布,二者具有相似的成矿环境与成矿条件,其深部可能存在统一的斑岩型铜金铅锌矿床,属于统一的斑岩浅成低温热液成矿系统。班公湖-怒江缝合带北缘多龙矿集区晚三叠世—侏罗纪增生杂岩的识别,为正确认识多龙超大型斑岩铜金矿床的成矿地质背景和缝合带的演化提供了新的线索。     

准噶尔盆地郝家沟剖面三叠纪—侏罗纪之交孢粉组合与古气候

三叠纪—侏罗纪之交（Triassic-Jurassic boundary,TJB）发生了三叠纪末的生物大灭绝（end-Triassic mass extinction,ETE）,海洋和陆地生态系统都发生了不同程度的崩溃。而在陆地生态系统中,植物群首当其冲,但是该时段的植物群变化的详细数据还相对缺乏。本文在新疆准噶尔盆地南缘郝家沟剖面TJB地层系统采样研究,来揭示该过程的植物群响应。根据孢粉属种组成及含量变化划分了3个孢粉组合,对古气候进行了重建。结果表明,准噶尔盆地南缘TJB的气候演变经历了湿热—湿冷—干热的转换过程。同时对ETE和TJB两个重要界线及灭绝发生的期次关系进行了讨论,由孢粉数据结合前人植物大化石、有机碳同位素地层曲线、生物标志化合物和Hg/TOC全球对比的结果,指示ETE和TJB可能分别位于郝家沟组43层底附近和八道湾组49层底附近;并推测三叠纪末陆地植被的灭绝在高纬度的准噶尔盆地记录到3个期次。在ETE与TJB之间地层中发现了与全球多处记录到的孢子含量激增一致的现象,推测该时期陆地生态系统的波动具有全球性。
