贵州瓮安陡山沱组含磷岩系沉积序列及磷块岩的形成

贵州瓮安陡山沱组磷块岩为碳酸盐岩型含磷岩系,属于浅海碳酸盐岩台地沉积区。对瓮安磷矿大塘剖面进行沉积环境研究,将Marinoan冰期后沉积的陡山沱组地层分为6个向上变浅的沉积序列。瓮安含磷岩系大部分为多旋回的叠置体,其常见的交错层理、波状层理、透镜状层理等表明了磷块岩形成于水体较浅的高能环境。南沱冰期后,陡山沱期剧烈的海侵作用引发上升洋流,携带富磷海水涌入浅水区,在海平面间歇性波动的条件下,为磷块岩的形成提供了物源与动力条件。

Depositional sequences of the phosphatic rock series and formation of the phosphorites in the Doushantuo Formation in Weng'an,Guizhou

The phosphorites in Weng＇an,Guizhou are hosted in the lower and upper parts of the Doushantuo Formation,and made up of carbonate rock-type phosphatic rock series on a shallow marine carbonate platform.The strata of the Doushantuo Formation deposited after the Marinoan glacial period may be grouped into six shallowing-upward depositional sequences.The bulk of phosphatic rock series is built up of polycyclic stacking deposits in which cross-bedding,wavy bedding and lenticular bedding are common,implying that the phosphorites rested in the shallow marine high-energy environments.From the Nantuoan glacial period onwards,the large-scale transgressions gave rise to the upwelling oceanic currents and carried plentiful phosphatic sea water into the shallow marine areas as sites of phosphorites development.The repeated sea-level fluctuations contributed to the phosphatic source and development of polycyclic depositional sequences of the phosphorites.
