Sequence stratigraphic characteristics and geological significance of the Permian Qixia Stage in northwestern Sichuan Basin

Based on outcrops, drilling, cores, and logging data, the Liangshan Formation and Qixia Formation in the northwestern Sichuan region are analyzed using the theory and method of sequence stratigraphy. Three third-order sequence boundaries are identified, including the basal boundary of Liangshan Formation (type Ⅰ), the boundary between Qi 1 Member and Qi 2 Member (type Ⅱ), and the boundary between the Qixia Formation and the Maokou Formation (type Ⅰ). The Middle Permian Qixia Stage can be subdivided into two third-order sequences (from base to top: SQ1 and SQ2). The SQ1 sequence corresponds to the Liangshan Formation and the Qi 1 Member, and the SQ2 sequence corresponds to the Qi 2 Member. Based on the sequence stratigraphic framework reconstruction of the Qixia Stage, the sedimentary filling pattern of the “onlapping at the base and truncation at the top” is discovered. The contour maps of SQ1 and SQ2 sequence stratigraphic thickness are calculated and plotted. Combined with the stratigraphic filling pattern, the tectonic-palaeogeographical framework of the early SQ1 and SQ2 phases of the Qixia Stage, their geological significance is discussed. At the Qixia Stage, the differentiation between uplift and depression occurs in the northwest and northeast trends. The Hannan uplift, the northern Sichuan uplift, the northern margin uplift and the Guangyuan-Wangcang sag have controlled the sedimentary pattern in the study area. It is indicated that prototype of the Guangyuan-Wangcang Trough began in the Middle Permian Qixia Stage. In the study area, the karst cave-type dolostone reservoir and the karst-type limestone reservoir around the Guangyuan-Wangcang sag rim are favorable exploration areas.     

四川盆地东部中二叠统茅口组热液活动特征*

四川盆地中二叠统茅口组存在丰富的热液流体活动。在野外剖面和岩心观察的基础上,利用多种分析测试方法,对四川盆地东部茅口组碳酸盐岩中的热液活动特征进行了探讨。研究区茅口组热液活动包括2类,一类为硅质热液,表现为薄层硅质岩或硅质团块;另一类为碳酸盐型热液,表现为粗晶方解石和白云石充填在张性构造裂缝中或呈“雪片状”集合体,偶见少量黄铁矿、闪锌矿等金属硫化物伴生。硅质岩主量元素之间的关系表明硅质来源具有多样性,是热液硅与壳源硅的混合;黄铁矿、闪锌矿原位S同位素 δ³⁴S 介于-3.91‰~-6.87‰之间,推测可能受到了微生物和基性岩浆岩的双重影响;方解石脉和具鞍状双晶的白云石脉普遍具有CaO高于标准计量、相对富Sr和U、贫REE和Ti、Ce/Ce^*明显负异常、Eu/Eu^*主体正异常、Y正异常等特征,表明碳酸盐脉为热液活动的产物,流体来源也呈现出火山活动相关流体与富钙地下水混合的特点。闪锌矿富集Ge和Cd,Zn/Cd及Zn/Fe值反映了中等成矿温度。硅质岩和碳酸盐流体包裹体均一温度变化范围较大,介于54.7~294.3 ℃之间,与稀土元素和微量元素比值所揭示的特征吻合。研究结果表明,穿层状硅质结核和团块的首次出现往往标志着茅口组热液活动的开始,而张性构造裂缝和碳酸盐型热液活动带来的围岩白云化作用则有效地改善了白云岩储集层的物性。     

Tommotian (Lower Cambrian) stratigraphy and fossil fauna communities in the Kiya River section (Kuznetsk Alatau)

The lower Ust’-Kundat Formation has been studied in detail in a section along the Kiya River (Kuznetsk Alatau, Altai-Sayan folded area). The section was deposited during the Tommotian stage and is a stratotype for the Lower Cambrian Ust’-Kundat sequence comprising several members of the Ust’-Kundat Formation. Member 2 contains newly discovered and previously known species of archaeocyathids near its top found stratigraphically lower than the oldest known archaeocyathan assemblage of the Nochoroicyathus mariinskii biozone. The found archaeocyaths cannot be dated precisely and may have either Tommotian or Atdabanian ages. Small shelly fossils from the same section cover a large stratigraphic range as well. The findings call for updating the age of the upper Ust’-Kundat sequence and the Tommotian upper boundary in the regional stratigraphy of the Altai-Sayan folded area.     

重庆南川地区中二叠统茅口组眼球状灰岩成因

中二叠世茅口组中-下部发育一种特殊的眼球状灰岩, 眼球部分通常为颜色较浅, 富含生屑颗粒的灰岩; 而眼皮部分通常为颜色较暗的泥灰岩。其成因一直存在分歧。本文通过对重庆南川大铺子剖面茅口组底部眼球状灰岩的野外观察和室内研究, 认为陆源输入的改变导致眼球和眼皮部分泥质含量的差异; 在成岩过程中, 碳酸盐沉积物为主的眼球部分因为胶结作用而没有被机械和压实作用破坏, 泥质含量较多的眼皮部分则受到强烈的压实。因此, 该地区眼球状灰岩的形成是沉积和成岩过程相互作用的结果, 为浅海陆棚沉积环境。     

新店东井田水文地质分析及涌水量预测

新店东井田构造复杂、断层多且落差大,破坏了其原有的水文单元,使得大气降水、地表水、地下水联系的更加紧密。根据地质资料分析,本区先期地段内主要断层均切割至二叠系茅口组,缩短了煤层与二叠系茅口组的间距,使得更易发生茅口组突水。     

The discovery of a new family Sunopteridae fam.nov.(Insecta: Protorthoptera) from Shaanxi Province,China

The fossil specimens discussed in this paper were collected from the grayish green mudstone and shale in the upper part of Lower Member of Middle Triassic Tongchuan Formation (T2t) in Shaanxi Province, China. Venationary feature correlation with old families and taxonomic discussion show that, among them, one specimen can be assigned to a new family - Sunopteridae fam. nov., which includes a new genus and species and can be referred to Order Protorthoptera Handlirsch, 1906 in taxonomic position, thus belonging to a new member of the Tongchuan Entomoassemblage of Shaanxi Entomofauna (belonging to Shaanxi Biota). The discovery of the new family and its new genus and species has certain reference values as follows: ① The discovery of the new family and its new genus and species fills firstly the vacancy in the protorthopterous field of China; ② In the meantime, it fills also the gaps of the valuable Middle Triassic protorthopterous fossil specimens between Late Carboniferous and Late Triassic Epochs in the world; ③ Judging from venationary features and taxonomic position, especially in the course of the formation of the merged vein of M and Cu, it formed a new unique and particular style of merged vein M+Cu. It not only is unique and simple, but also can be distinguished from the above mentioned 10 old families, thus providing important taxonomic evidence.

贵州大方地区粘土岩成因探讨

大方庆阳煤矿区龙潭煤系和茅口灰岩界限粘土岩分析结果表明:该层粘土岩为黄铁矿质高岭石粘土岩,对其化学成分中Na2O、K2O、MgO、CaO和Pb的研究认为,该层粘土岩是在安静低能、酸性介质还原环境下,为受峨眉山玄武岩影响的火山事件沉积粘土岩。     

蜀南地区茅口组古岩溶缝洞系统与地层水化学性质的关系

在总结和分析451口井地层水测试资料的基础上,对蜀南地区茅口组地层水矿化度和水型特征进行研究,结合钻井、地震、测井等资料,系统总结了古岩溶的垂向分带模式,阐述了各岩溶带在剖面上的发育特征,并对不同化学性质的地层水的储存方式进行了分析。结果表明:该区地层水矿化度普遍较低,变化范围大,矿化度分布特征与地层水势能有关。CaCl2型地层水矿化度较高,具正向浓缩、深变质、渗流缓慢等特征,NaHCO3型、Na2SO4型、MgCl2型水矿化度较低,其出现与岩溶作用有关,所在地区的地层水性质不活跃。古岩溶带在垂向上可分为:表层岩溶带、垂直渗流岩溶带、水平径流岩溶带和深部潜流岩溶带,不同岩溶带特征各异。CaCl2型水的形成与大气淡水淋滤、地层压实释水和埋藏变质作用有关,以深层滞留水方式赋存于地层孔隙中,低矿化度水则以封存水方式储存于岩溶封闭体中。
