Late Carboniferous-Early Permian Mafic-Ultramafic Complexes in Beishan,Southwestern Central Asian Orogenic Belt and Their Significance

Numeral Permian mafic-ultramafic complexes occur in the Beishan terrane atthe northeastern margin of the Tarim craton,southwestern Central Asian Orogenic Belt,including the Pobei,Cantoushan,Bijiashan,Hongshishan,Xuanwoling,Zhongposhan and Luodong etc.,intrusions(Qin et al.,2011;Zhang et al.,2017;Xue et al.,2018).These Beishan mafic-ultramafic complexes are composed of peridotite,pyroxenite.

Late Carboniferous-Early Permian Volcanic Event Deposits and Stratigraphic Correlation in Shandong Province and Its Adjacent Regions

Deposits of 10 volcanic events of 6 stages have been discovered by the authors after detailed field and lab studies of the Benxi and Taiyuan Formations in Shandong Province and its adjacent regions. They show certain temporal-spatial distribution characteristics. Volcanic fragments were probably derived from two different volcanic sources north and south of the North China Platform, while the magma of the two volcanic sources was probably derived from the lower crust. A new stratigraphic correlation scheme is put forward for the Benxi and Taiyuan Formations in this region on the basis of previous biostratigraphic work with the regionally widespread volcanic event layers as the marker bed for the isochronous stratigraphic correlation on a super-regional scale and in conjunction with the maximum transgressive event layers.

A New Species of Araucarioxylon Kraus from the Early Early Permian, Nei Mongol, China

A kind of silicified fossil wood with mixed pits on the radial tracheid wall is described. The fossil wood was collected from the top of Taiyuan Formation (early Early Permian) in Wuda Mining District, Nei Mongol. Compared with the Paleozoic fossil woods in the world, it is put into Araucarioxylon Kraus and named as A. laoshidanense sp. nov. Based on the character of possessing mixed pittings (alternate and opposite pittings) on the radial tracheid wall, the fossil wood is believed to be one of the unknown primitive conifers.Diagnosis of the new species: Only secondary xylem preserved and consisting of axial tracheids and rays. Growth ring boundary, resin duct and axial parenchyma absent. One to Four (commonly 2 or 3) seriates of bordered pits (mostly alternate but sometimes opposite) on the radial tracheid wall. One to Four (commonly 1, rarely 2 to 4) Cupressoid pits in each cross_field. Rays usually uniseriate, sometimes partly_ biseriate and 2 to 39 (mainly 3-5) cells high.

Permo-Carboniferous Radiolarians from the Wupata'erkan Group,Western South Tianshan, Xinjiang, China

The Wupata'erkan Group, also called Wupata'erkan Formation, distributed in the South Tianshan, Xinjiang, China, mainly consists of gray and dark gray fine-grained clastic rocks, interlayered with volcanic rocks, carbonates and cherts. Some ultra-basic rocks (blocks) punctuate the formation. The formation was variously assigned to Silurian-Middle Devonian, Silurian-Lower Devonian, and pre-Devonian, mainly based on Atrypa bodini Mansuy, Hypothyridina parallelepipedia (Brour.) and Prismatophyllum hexagonum Yoh collected from the limestone interlayers, respectively. However, radiolarian fossils obtained from 24 chert specimens of the Wupata'erkan Group, mainly include Albaillella sp. cf. A. undulata Deflandre, Albaillella sp. cf. A. paradoxa Deflandre, Albaillella cf. A. deflandrei Gourmelon, Albaillella sp. cf. A. indensis Won, Albaillella sp. cf. A. excelsa Ishiga, Kito and Imoto, Albaillella sp. and Latentifistulidae gen. et. sp. indet., are earliest Carboniferous and Late Permian. The earliest Carboniferous assemblage is characterized by Albaillella sp. cf. A. undulata Deflandre, Albaillella sp. cf. A. paradoxa Deflandre, Albaillella cf. A. deflandrei Gourmelon and Albaillella sp. cf. A. indensis Won, and the Late Permian assemblage by Albaillella sp. cf. A. excelsa Ishiga, Kito and Imoto. This new stratigraphic evidence indicates that the Wupata'erkan Group is possibly composed of rocks with different ages from Silurian to Permian, and therefore, it is probably an ophiolite melange. The discovery of Late Permian Albaillella sp. cf. A. excelsa provides more reliable evidence supporting the existence of a Permian relic ancient oceanic basin in the western part of Xinjiang South Tianshan.

Paleomagnetic results from Late Carboniferous to Early Permian rocks in the northern Qiangtang terrane, Tibet, China, and their tectonic implications

Results of a systematic paleomagnetic study are reported based on Late Carboniferous to Early Permian sedimentary rocks on the north slope of the Tanggula Mountains, in the northern Qiangtang terrane （NQT）, Tibet, China. Data revealed that magnetic minerals in limestone samples from the Zarigen Formation （CP^z）are primarily composed of magnetite, while those in sandstone samples from the Nuoribagaribao Formation （Pnr） are dominated by hematite alone, or hematite and magnetite in combination. Progressive thermal, or alternating field, demagnetization allowed us to isolate a stable high temperature component （HTC） in 127 specimens from 16 sites which successfully passed the conglomerate test, consistent with primary remnance. The tilt-corrected mean direction for Late Carboniferous to Early Permian rocks in the northern Qiangtang terrane is D°=30.2°, Is=-40.9°, ks=269.0, a95=2.3°, N=16, which yields a corresponding paleomagnetic pole at 25.7°N, 241.5°E （alp/rim=2.8°/1.7°）, and a paleolatitude of 23.4°S. Our results, together with previously reported paleomagnetic data, indicate that： （1） the NQT in Tibet, China, was located at a low latitude in the southern hemisphere, and may have belonged to the northern margin of Gondwana during the Late Carboniferous to Early Permian; （2） the Paleo-Tethys Ocean was large during the Late Carboniferous to Early Permian, and （3） the NQT subsequently moved rapidly northwards, perhaps related to the fact that the Paleo-Tethys Ocean was rapidly contracting from the Late Permian to Late Triassic while the Bangong Lake-Nujiang Ocean, the northern branch of the Neo-Tethys Ocean, expanded rapidly during this time.

Main controlling factors and exploration enlightenment of aluminous rock series gas reservoirs in Ordos Basin,NW China

Based on the data of outcrop,core,logging,gas testing,and experiments,the natural gas accumulation and aluminous rock mineralization integrated research was adopted to analyze the controlling factors of aluminous rock series effective reservoirs in the Ordos Basin,NW China,as well as the configuration of coal-measure source rocks and aluminous rock series reservoirs.A natural gas accumulation model was constructed to evaluate the gas exploration potential of aluminous rock series under coal seam in the basin.The effective reservoirs of aluminous rock series in the Ordos Basin are composed of honeycomb-shaped bauxites with porous residual pisolitic and detrital structures,with the diasporite content of greater than 80%and dissolved pores as the main storage space.The bauxite reservoirs are formed under a model that planation controls the material supply,karst paleogeomorphology controls diagenesis,and land surface leaching improves reservoir quality.The hot humid climate and sea level changes in the Late Carboniferous–Early Permian dominated the development of a typical coal-aluminum-iron three-stage stratigraphic structure.The natural gas generated by the extensive hydrocarbon generation of coal-measure source rocks was accumulated in aluminous rock series under the coal seam,indicating a model of hydrocarbon accumulation under the source.During the Upper Carboniferous–Lower Permian,the relatively low-lying area on the edge of an ancient land or island in the North China landmass was developed.The gas reservoirs of aluminous rock series,which are clustered at multiple points in lenticular shape,are important new natural gas exploration fields with great potential in the Upper Paleozoic of North China Craton.

Discovery of Radiolarian Fossils from the Aiketik Group at the Western End of the South Tianshan Mountains of Chinaand Its Implications

The Aiketik Group, distributed at the western end of the South TianshanMountains, China, is an important lithostratigraphic unit involved in the South Tianshan orogen. Itis separated from the adjacent rocks by faults. Generally, the geologists ascribed it to the UpperCarboniferous according to Pseudostaffella sp., Profusulinella sp. and Fusulinella sp. found fromthe limestone and sandy limestone of Aiketik. Our radiolarian fossils were obtained from the chertsamples collected from the Haladaok section located at the upper Tuoshihan River. The fossils mainlyinclude Albaillella undulata Deflandre, Albaillella paradoxa Deflandre, Albaillella sp. aff. A.paradoxa Deflandre, Albaillella sp. cf. A. deflandrei Gourmelon, Albaillella sp., Albaillellaexcelsa Ishiga, Kito and Imoto (?), Belowea variabilis (Ormiston et Lane), Callella cf. C.parvispinosa Won, Entactinia cf. E. tortispina Ormiston et Lane, Entactinia aff. E. tortispinaOrmiston et Lane, Entactinia variospina Won, Entactinia sp., Eostylodictya rota (Won),Latentifistula impella (Ormistone et Lane) (?), Latentifistula turgita Omiston et Lane,Latentifistulidae gen. et. sp. indet. and Polyentactinia cf. aranea Gourmelon. Among them,Albaillella excelsa Ishiga, Kito and Imoto (?) is a Late Permian species with some elementsuncertain as there is only one poorly-preserved fossil of this species found so far. And tworadiolarian assemblages can be identified from the other fossils. One is the early EarlyCarboniferous assemblage represented by Albaillella undulata Deflandre, Albaillella paradoxa andAlbaillella sp. cf. A. deflandrei Gourmelon. And the other is the late Early Carboniferousassemblage represented by Eostylodictya rota (Won). This is the first discovery of radiolarianfossils in the Aiketik Group, also the first discovery of Late Permian radiolarian fossils in theSouth Tianshan Mountains. Meanwhile, this is the current westernmost sampling site of radiolarianfossils in the South Tianshan Mountains.

鄂尔多斯盆地含铝岩系天然气成藏主控因素与勘探启示

基于野外露头、岩心、录井、测井、试气及分析化验等资料,采用天然气成藏与铝土岩成矿一体化研究方法,分析鄂尔多斯盆地含铝岩系有效储层发育控制因素、煤系烃源岩与含铝岩系的源储配置关系,构建天然气成藏模式,对煤下含铝岩系天然气勘探潜力进行评价。研究表明:(1)鄂尔多斯盆地含铝岩系的有效储层主要为一水硬铝石含量超过75%,具有多孔状残余豆鲕、碎屑结构的蜂窝状铝土岩,溶蚀孔为主要储集空间;(2)铝土岩储层形成模式为夷平化作用提供含铝岩系发育的物质基础、岩溶古地貌控制含铝岩系发育、陆表淋滤作用改善储集性能;(3)晚石炭世—早二叠世,受湿热气候环境和海平面变化控制,古陆或古岛边缘的相对低洼带发育典型的煤-铝-铁三段式地层结构;(4)煤系烃源岩广覆式生烃,天然气在煤下含铝岩系储层富集,为源下成藏;(5)中国华北陆块的上石炭统—下二叠统含铝岩系气藏呈透镜状点群式聚集,勘探潜力大,有望成为华北克拉通上古生界重要的天然气勘探新领域。

中亚造山带南缘晚石炭世——早二叠世碳酸盐岩台地的建立和消亡

碳酸盐岩台地具有重要的古海洋环境指示意义。中亚造山带南缘在晚石炭世—早二叠世出现大规模分布的碳酸盐岩地层,但这些岩石地层单元缺少精确时代约束和系统对比研究,因而制约了进一步古地理和古环境意义的讨论。此次研究报道了阿拉善地块北缘“阿木山组”实测剖面的地层层序,提供了火山岩夹层的锆石U-Pb同位素年龄,精确约束了碳酸盐岩台地的时代和分布。研究表明:研究区恩格尔乌苏断裂带以北的“阿木山组”应修订为“格根敖包组”,以碎屑岩为主,时代为晚石炭世卡西莫夫期—早二叠世阿瑟尔期(<296.1 Ma)。该断裂带以南的阿木山组的碳酸盐岩台地以连续出露、富含?类化石的灰岩为标志,时代为晚石炭世格舍尔期—早二叠世阿瑟尔期(303.2~295.3 Ma)。笔者根据研究区与甘肃北山、内蒙古中部等地区的高精度地层对比提出,中亚造山带南缘的碳酸盐岩台地是全球晚石炭世海侵和古亚洲洋南缘亚热带气候的产物,早—中二叠世的裂谷作用是这些碳酸盐台地消亡的主要原因。

Lithofacies palaeogeography of the Carboniferous and Permian in the Qinshui Basin, Shanxi Province, China

The Qinshui Basin in the southeastern Shanxi Province is an important area for coalbed methane（CBM） exploration and production in China, and recent exploration has revealed the presence of other unconventional types of gas such as shale gas and tight sandstone gas. The reservoirs for these unconventional types of gas in this basin are mainly the coals, mudstones, and sandstones of the Carboniferous and Permian; the reservoir thicknesses are controlled by the depositional environments and palaeogeography. This paper presents the results of sedimentological investigations based on data from outcrop and borehole sections, and basin-wide palaeogeographical maps of each formation were reconstructed on the basis of the contours of a variety of lithological parameters. The palaeogeographic units include the depositional environments of the fluvial channel, flood basin（lake）, upper delta plain, lower delta plain, delta front, lagoon, tidal flat, barrier bar, and carbonate platform.The Benxi and Taiyuan Formations are composed mainly of limestones, bauxitic mudstones,siltstones, silty mudstones, sandstones, and economically exploitable coal seams, which were formed in delta, tidal flat, lagoon, and carbonate platform environments. The Shanxi Formation consists of sandstones, siltstones, mudstones, and coals; during the deposition of the formation, the northern part of the Qinshui Basin was occupied mainly by an upper delta plain environment, while the central and southern parts were mainly occupied by a lower delta plain environment and the southeastern part by a delta front environment. Thick coal zones occur in the central and southern parts, where the main depositional environment was a lower delta plain. The thick coal zones of the Taiyuan Formation evidently occur in the sandstone-rich belts, located mainly in the lower delta plain environment in the northern part of the basin and the barrier bar environments in the southeastern part of the basin. In contrast, the thick coal zones of the Shanxi Formation extend over the mudstone-rich belts, located in the areas of the lower delta plain environments of the central and southern parts of the Basin.The Xiashihezi, Shangshihezi, and Shiqianfeng Formations consist mainly of red mudstones with thick-interbedded sandstones. During the deposition of these formations, most areas of the basin were occupied by a fluvial channel, resulting in palaeogeographic units that include fluvial channel zones and flood basins. The fluvial channel deposits consist mainly of relatively-thick sandstones, which could have potential for exploration of tight sandstone gas.

南天山西端乌帕塔尔坎群发现石炭-二叠纪放射虫化石

南天山西端的乌帕塔尔坎群为一套灰色、深灰色细碎屑岩,夹火山岩、硅岩和碳酸盐岩,其中分布有一些超基性岩(块)。以往曾据灰岩夹层中的化石将其划归志留系中泥盆统或前泥盆系。我们对乌帕塔尔坎群中所采集的24块硅岩样品进行室内分离和鉴定,发现的放射虫化石主要有Albaillellasp. cfA. undulataDeflandre,Albaillellasp. cfA. paradoxaDeflandre,Albaillellacf. A. deflandreiGourmelon,Albaillellasp. cf. A. indensisWon,Albaillellasp. cf. Al baillellaexcelsaIshiga, KitoandImoto,Albaillellasp.和Latentifistulidaegen. et. sp. indet.。其中可划分出两个放射虫化石组合,一个是以Albaillellasp. cfA. undulataDeflandre,Albaillellasp.cfA. paradoxaDeflandre,Albaillellacf. A. deflandreiGourmelon和Albaillellasp. cf. A. indensisWon为代表的早石炭世早期的化石组合;另一个是以Albaillellasp. cf. AlbaillellaexcelsaIshi ga, KitoandImoto为代表的晚二叠世化石组合。说明乌帕塔尔坎群至少可能包含有志留系到二叠系不同时代的岩石,可能是蛇绿混杂岩。这是该群首次发现放射虫化石,特别是再次发现晚二叠世放射虫化石,进一步证实了南天山西段晚二叠世(残余)古洋盆存在的可能性。

塔里木盆地西北缘三叠系硅岩砾石中的放射虫化石及其地质意义

塔里木盆地西北缘的库尔干出露一套中生代含煤磨拉石建造 ,三叠系克拉玛依组底部砾岩中的硅岩砾石中发现大量放射虫化石 ,包括AlbaillellaparadoxaDeflandre,Albaillellasp.cf.AlbaillellaparadoxaDeflandre ,Albaillellasp.,Latentifistulasp.,Latentifistulidaegen.etsp.in det.,Follicucullussp .aff.FollicucullusbipartitusCaridroitetDeWever,Follicucullussp.和Spumellar iagen.etsp.indet.等。其中至少可以划分出两个化石组合 :一个是以Albaillellaparadoxa和Al baillellasp .cf.Albaillellaparadoxa为代表的早石炭世早期放射虫组合 ,另一个是以Follicucullussp .和Follicucullussp .aff.Follicucullusbipartitus为代表的中 晚二叠世放射虫化石组合。这说明库尔干地区的三叠系沉积有早石炭世早期和中 晚二叠世的硅岩物源 ,它们可能来自南天山碰撞造山带的蛇绿混杂岩。

西藏申扎地区德日昂玛-下拉剖面:冈瓦纳和特提斯晚石炭世—早二叠世地层和古生物对比的桥梁

西藏北部申扎县永珠地区德日昂玛-下拉剖面中石炭系和二叠系地层发育完整,出露良好,化石丰富。该剖面中查果罗玛组碳酸盐岩地层(泥盆纪—早石炭世)和下拉组(中二叠世)碳酸盐岩地层之间的碎屑岩夹灰岩地层,在沉积上表现为冰海相杂砾岩,在古生物化石面貌上表现为特提斯-冈瓦纳古生物群混生。古生物群混生的现象为石炭纪—二叠纪的特提斯生物区与冈瓦纳生物区之间的地层和古生物对比建立了一座桥梁。永珠组中上部地层中同时产有牙形石和腕足类,牙形石的研究表明其时代为晚石炭世莫斯科期,而腕足类的研究则表明其为早二叠世萨克马尔期。这一矛盾预示着在(亲)冈瓦纳相地区晚石炭世晚期地层缺失的意见需要重新审视。

河南省太原组沉积时期岩相古地理特征

河南省早二叠世太原组沉积区位于华北盆地南部北秦岭褶皱带栾川—固始深断裂以北地区,当时的沉积盆地受华北地块西隆东倾的构造古地理控制,是晚古生代华北陆表海盆地或碳酸盐岩台地沉积的一部分,发育了一套以碳酸盐岩为主夹碎屑岩和煤为特色的陆表海沉积。太原组岩性以灰—深灰色薄—中厚层状生物屑灰岩为主,夹薄—中厚层状的泥岩、泥灰岩、细砂岩、粉砂岩及煤层,局部出现浅灰色厚层中一细粒砂岩、粗砂岩或灰白色石英砂岩,产有丰富的纺锤虫、牙形石、腕足、珊瑚、海百合、双壳类和植物化石等。在沉积序列上,自下而上分为三个岩性段,即①下部灰岩段,主要由4～5层灰岩组成;②中部碎屑岩段,主要由砂、泥岩组成,夹不稳定生物屑微晶灰岩1～3层;③上部灰岩段,含灰岩2～3层,局部可达4～5层。基于地层厚度、碳酸盐岩厚度和砂/泥比等值线的变化趋势分析以及遗迹化石、指相化石和沉积类型的组成与分布特征,可以划分出5种沉积相(潮坪相、潟湖相、障壁岛或砂坝相、局限台地相和开阔台地相)、12种沉积类型、3种沉积组合类型和3种岩相区,包括局限台地—潮坪泥晶灰岩、泥岩相区、开阔台地—潮坪—潟湖灰岩、碎屑岩相区、开阔台地—障壁岛—潮坪灰岩、碎屑岩相区。太原组沉积期的古地理特征表现为:海域分布广泛,海相灰岩几乎遍及全区;海陆边界已向南、向西扩至灵宝—洛宁—嵩县—方城—泌阳一线,该线以西为伏牛古陆,三门峡至济源一线以北为中条古陆,古地势呈现为北西高、南东低,西陡东缓,最大厚度沉积区位于东北部及东部的特点;海水自东和北东两个方向侵入,并自北西向南东方向退去。由于沉积区域内地形比较平缓,海水进退频繁,形成了一套受限陆表海的碳酸盐岩与滨岸潮坪含煤碎屑岩多次交互出现的沉积,在河南省境内滨海平原上的泥炭坪大面积发育,许多地区形成了具有工业价值的可采煤层。

塔里木盆地艾克提克群中放射虫化石及其意义

中国南天山西端的艾克提克群是卷入南天山造山带的一个重要的岩石地层单元,其与相邻地层单元均以断层接触。以往根据在其灰岩和砂质灰岩中发现的Pseudostaffellasp.,Profusulinellasp.和Fusulinellasp.将其归属于上石炭统。我们的放射虫化石发现于托什罕河上游的哈拉道克剖面,主要包括AlbaillellaundulataDeflandre,Al-baillellaparadoxaDeflandre,Albaillellasp.aff.A.paradoxaDeflandre,Albaillellasp.cf.A.deflandreiGourmelon,Albaillellasp.,AlbaillellaexcelsaIshiga,KitoandImoto(?),Beloweavariabilis(OrmistonetLane),Callellacf.C.parvispinosaWon,Entactiniacf.E.tortispinaOrmistonetLane,Entactiniaaff.E.tortispinaOrmistonetLane,En-tactiniavariospinaWon,Entactiniasp.,Eostylodictyarota(Won),Latentifistulaimpella(OrmistoneetLane)(?),La-tentifistulaturgidaOmistonetLane,Latentifistulidaegen.et.sp.indet.和Polyentactiniacf.araneaGourmelon。其中,AlbaillellaexcelsaIshiga,KitoandImoto(?)的时代为晚二叠世(存疑),其余可以划分出早石炭世早期和晚期两个放射虫化石组合:前者以AlbaillellaundulataDeflandre,AlbaillellaparadoxaDeflandre和Albaillellasp.cf.A.

山东及邻区晚石炭世—早二叠世火山事件沉积及地层对比

作者对山东及邻区本溪组及太原组进行了详细的室内外研究,共发现了6期10次火山事件沉积,它们在时空分布上有一定规律。火山碎屑可能来自华北地台以北及以南两个不同的火山源,而火山源的岩浆可能来自下地壳。在前人的生物地层研究基础上,以遍布全区的火山事件层作为大区域等时地层对比标志,并结合最大海侵事件层,对研究区内本溪组及太原组地层提出了新的对比方案。

新疆阿合奇地区晚石炭世—早二叠世■类动物群

在塔里木盆地西北缘的阿合奇地区晚石炭世—早二叠世地层中发现大量的■类化石,共计18属61种,另有较多未定种,自下而上建立了4个■带,依次为Pseudostaffella带、Profusulinella带、Fusulinella-Fusulina带和Pseudoschwagerina带。各■带与华南、帕米尔达尔瓦兹等地能很好的对比,且■类动物群面貌与华南地区相似。根据■类化石确定别根他乌组为晚石炭世早中期罗苏期—达拉期,康克林组为晚石炭世晚期小独山期—早二叠世紫松期,将该区石炭系、二叠系的界线置于71层底部。石炭纪末期区域上海退和古地形的影响导致■带Triticites带的缺失。

四川盆地开江—梁平海槽内发现大隆组

四川盆地广元一旺苍海槽、城口一鄂西海槽和开江-梁平海槽具有相同的上二叠统一下三叠统飞仙关组的沉积相序组合，它们在长兴晚期-飞仙关早期都是深水沉积区。其中前者上二叠统顶部是由含放射虫、骨针、有孔虫和腕足等二叠纪生物化石的硅质岩、硅质灰岩和硅质泥岩等组成的大隆组。而在此之前深埋于地腹中的后者一直没有识别出大隆组。最近通过钻井地层测井对比分析和钻井岩屑薄片研究发现开江-梁平海槽区飞仙关组底部高自然伽马、低电阻层段是由含放射虫、腕足、有孔虫等晚二叠纪生物化石的硅质岩、硅质灰岩、硅质泥岩组成的，应划分为上二叠统大隆组。开江-梁平海槽区大隆组厚12．5～33．5m．平均有机碳含量达3．88形．是优质的烃源岩。与海槽相邻的台地边缘相带是大中型气藏的有利分布区。

海南岛北部古生界时代:碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学约束

海南岛古生界主要分布于南部三亚地块,并在琼中地块零星出露。相对于三亚地块,琼中地块内的古生界由于缺乏古生物化石证据及精细年代学数据,其地层划分及时代归属问题一直广受争议,严重限制了对海南岛北部古生代构造属性的认识。目前,利用沉积岩碎屑锆石年龄限定地层的沉积时代已得到广泛应用。本文在野外地质调查基础上,对海南岛北部邦溪、儋州、琼海等地区原划属为古生界的相关样品进行了锆石激光U-Pb年代学研究。锆石U-Pb年代学分析表明:于邦溪地区原划为奥陶系南碧沟组中采集的变质砂岩和儋州、琼海地区原划为志留系陀烈组中采集的变质砂岩的碎屑锆石给出的最年轻206Pb/238 U表观年龄分别为373、352和369 Ma,其年龄谱系与屯昌地区二叠系砂岩相类似,总体上年龄峰值为370 Ma左右,另外在约447、980、1 969~1 520和2 681~2 328Ma呈现次要峰值。结合其他资料,本文认为前人在海南岛北部划属的下古生界中至少有部分岩石应划属石炭系—下二叠统。上述研究丰富了海南岛古生界的年代学资料,也为海南岛构造演化等问题提供了新的约束。

西藏仲巴县昂拉仁错—塔若错一带拉嘎组的地层特征及沉积环境

在西藏改则昂拉仁错地区测制了多条拉嘎组剖面,详细描述了改则县拉清乡蹦克弄拉剖面。讨论了拉嘎组的岩性组合特征及横向变化规律。首次在拉嘎组内建立了2个腕足类生物组合带,即Choristitesxainzaensis-Eomarginifera组合带和Neospiriferkubeiensis-Fusispiriferplicatus-Stepanoviella(Bandoproductus)组合带,前者的时代为晚石炭世早期,后者为早二叠世,大致与萨克马尔—阿丁斯克(Sakmarian-Artinskian)期相当。拉嘎组为冰海陆棚沉积,根据冰碛物特征细分为坠石冰碛砾岩、块状冰碛砾岩和冰海水下扇砾岩3种类型,并认为拉嘎组从早到晚总体由冰海内陆棚→冰海外陆棚→冰海内陆棚构成一个完整的沉积旋回。
