川黔地区奥陶纪珊瑚化石及其地层意义

一、绪言我国奥陶纪珊瑚化石早在本世纪的初期已有报导。但是,比较大量地报导中国奥陶纪珊瑚化石,则始于本世纪五十年代的末期。1957年俞昌民首先发表新疆中奥陶世一个四射珊瑚的发现及其意义,以后,相继有璕教授的贵州奥陶纪珊瑚化石的新资料,林宝玉的江西玉山晚奥陶世床板珊瑚化石,俞昌民的中国晚奥陶世珊瑚化石。这些资料的研究不仅对阐明古生代珊瑚化石的分类和演化具有重大意义,而且对推动我国奥陶纪珊瑚化石的研究,划分和对比我国奥陶纪地层,起了重大作用。

广西桂林晚泥盆世藻丘中的几种隐生环境及隐生生物

广西桂林晚泥盆世碳酸盐岩台地边缘的藻丘中发育着大量孔洞,其中的隐生环境主要有藻丘中的大型“花斑”及小型“花斑”、晶洞(常被再溶蚀)、裂隙孔洞(水成岩墙)等几种类型。主要的隐生生物为 Epiphyton-Renalcis,隐藻类,Girvanella及可能营穴居生活的介形虫和少许单房室有孔虫。隐生环境中的隐藻类可能是Epiphyton-Renalcis穴居藻类的先驱生物组合。穴居藻类在藻丘中的发育型式反映水深是导致藻丘内主要造礁丘藻类变化的重要原因。     

Ordovician Calcified Algae and Cyanobacteria, Northern Tarim Basin Subsurface, China

Boreholes between Kuqa and Korla, in the northern Tarim Basin, Xinjiang, penetrated Ordovician marine limestones at depths of 5–6.2km. From three boreholes 54 out of a total of 170 limestone samples contain calcified algae, cyanobacteria and associated Microproblematica. Calcified cyanobacteria (GirvanellaBotomaella, ?Subtifloria) account for 37 per cent of occurrences; green algae (Dasyporelleae and Vermiporella) 28 per cent; Microproblematica (NuiaBevocastriaRothpletzellaHalysis) 20 per cent; and ‘solenoporaceans’ 15 per cent GirvanellaNuia are common in the Early Ordovician deposits, and ‘solenoporaceans’ are abundant in the Mid‐Ordovician. Dasyporelleae and Vermiporella are most abundant in Mid–Late Ordovician samples. Calcified cyanobacteria are common throughout the limestone succession, but particularly in the Mid Ordovician part. MoniliporellaContextaPlexaTexturata, and Villosoporella, hitherto placed in the supposed red algal family Moniliporellaceae Gnilovskaya, are here regarded as dasycladalean green algae. Despite some omissions, this Tarim flora broadly resembles others from Kazakhstan, Baltica and North America, indicating the generally cosmopolitan nature of Ordovician calcified algae and cyanobacteria.

Late Eocene sea retreat from the Tarim Basin (west China) and concomitant Asian paleoenvironmental change

The Paleogene sediments of the southwest Tarim Basin along the West Kunlun Shan in western China include the remnants of the easternmost extent of a large epicontinental sea. This shallow sea once extended across the Eurasian continent before it retreated westward and eventually separated as the Paratethys Sea. Climate modeling results suggest that this sea retreat is an equally important forcing mechanism as the Tibetan plateau uplift in the aridification of the Asian continental interior and the intensification of the Asian monsoon system. The age and paleogeography of the retreat are poorly constrained, hindering the understanding of its cause and paleoenvironmental impacts. This study reports litho- and biostratigraphic results from two sections recording the last major regression out of the Tarim Basin that is expressed by a regional transition from marine clastics and limestones to continental red-beds. Rich micro- and macrofossil assemblages, including benthic foraminifera, ostracods, bivalves, calcareous nannofossils and organic walled dinoflagellate cysts (dinocysts), indicate a shallow, proximal and marine environment. Strong similarity to assemblages known from Central Asia and Europe confirms that surface–ocean connections extended across Eurasia from the Tarim Basin to the western Tethys during the latest Eocene. Moreover, the recovered fossil associations date the last marine sediments as earliest Priabonian in age (~ 37 Ma; overlap between dinoflagellate Mps Interval Zone and calcareous nannofossil Zone CP 14). The retreat of the sea from the Tarim Basin is time-equivalent with the sea level lowstand at the Bartonian–Priabonian boundary but pre-dates both the Oligocene–Miocene regional uplift of the Pamir mountains and Kunlun Shan and the major eustatic sea-level falls of the Eocene–Oligocene Transition (~ 34 Ma) and mid-Oligocene (~ 30 Ma), which are usually held responsible for the sea retreat. Furthermore, a concomitant and significant aridification step occurs at ~ 36.6 Ma (top of chron C17n.1n) as recorded by regional sedimentary records of the Xining Basin along the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, suggesting that the Tarim Sea served as a significant moisture contributor for the Asian interior.     

Ramp morphology controlling the facies differentiation of a Late Ordovician reef complex at Bachu,Tarim Block,NW China

A carbonate ramp in the shallow‐marine northwestern part of the Central Tarim Uplift, Bachu, NW China, exhibits an extraordinary Late Ordovician reef complex along the Lianglitag Mountains, exposed for a distance of about 25 km. Seven localities within the ‘Middle Red Limestone’ of the Upper Member of the Lianglitag Formation (Katian, Late Ordovician) illustrated the changes in biofacies and lithofacies: northern, seaward‐directed patch reefs are replaced towards the south by coeval grain banks. The patch reef units are dominated by microbial and calcareous algal components. The reefs at the northernmost locality are knoll‐shaped, kalyptra‐shaped or irregularly shaped with sizes of individual reefs increasing from about 2 m in height and diameter. Stratigraphically upward, reefs notably expand to larger structures by several mounds coalescing; they are generally about 10 m thick and tens of metres in lateral extent. The maximum thickness of the main patch reef is more than 30 m, and its diameter is around 100 m. The reefal units turn into biostromes with gentler relief southward and still further south grade into banks composed of peloids and coated grains. The southernmost locality is still a shallow‐water bank, and the coastline is not documented in the study area. The present evidence indicates that the Late Ordovician palaeo‐oceanography provided a number of environments for the optimal growth of carbonate build‐ups; microbial‐calcareous algal communities could thrive in areas where the innovative metazoan reef frameworks consisting of corals and stromatoporoids did not play a significant role. The ramp morphology, especially changes in water depth, controlled the configuration of the reef complex.     

Facies characteristic and paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the Fahliyan Formation,Lower Cretaceous,in the Kuh-e Siah area,Zagros Basin,southern Iran

The Lower Cretaceous Fahliyan Formation, part of the Khami Group, unconformably overlies the Hith Formation and is conformably overlain by the Gadvan Formation in the study area in southern Iran. The Fahliyan Formation is a reservoir rock in Zagros Basin. This formation was investigated by a detailed petrographic analysis in order to clarify the depositional facies and sedimentary environment in the Kuh-e Siah Anticline in Boushehr Province. Petrographic studies led to the recognition of 25 microfacies that were deposited in four facies belts: tidal flat, lagoon, and shoal in inner ramp and shallow open-marine in mid-ramp environment. An absence of turbidite deposits, reefal facies, and gradual facies changes indicate that the Fahliyan Formation was deposited on a carbonate ramp. Calcareous algae and benthic foraminifera are abundant in the shallow marine carbonates of the Fahliyan Formation. These skeletal grains have been studied in order to increase the understanding of their distributions in time and space. A total of ten genera belonging to different groups of calcareous algae and 16 genera of benthic foraminifera are recognized from the Fahliyan Formation at Kuh-e Siah section.

THREE NEW GENERA OF FOSSIL NONCALCAREOUS ALGAE FROM VALMEYERAN (MISSISSIPPIAN) STRATA OF ILLINOIS

Three previously unknown algal forms are preserved as carbonaceous residue and impressions in basal St. Louis Formation (Valmeyeran Series) of Jersey County, Ill. On the basis of morphologic similarities the algae are considered to belong to Rhodophyta and Phaeophyta. The algae are associated with conularia. The algae and conularia probably lived in shallow marine water on the eastern flank of the Ozark Dome and southern margin of the Illinois Basin. This region would have been at approximately 20 south latitude during the Visean.     

塔里木盆地奥陶系苔虫多样性演变

本文研究了塔里木盆地奥陶系苔虫的分布延限和演化规律。苔虫的演化分为四个阶段:第一阶段为鹰山组—一间房组中下部沉积期,苔虫多样性和丰度均很低;第二阶段为一间房组上部—吐木休克组沉积期,苔虫的多样性处在一种波动上升的状态;第三阶段包括良里塔格组良五段—良四段沉积期,苔虫多样性和丰度均有一定程度的增加,而且绝大部分属种在接下来的第四阶段都有出现;第四阶段在良里塔格组良三段—良一段沉积期,是苔虫总体多样性明显增长的时期,也是本区奥陶纪苔虫的重要辐射期。随后,展开苔虫的多样性分析的研究。研究发现塔里木盆地奥陶系苔虫的演化趋势与世界范围的演化趋势基本一致,说明是受苔虫宏演化规律控制的。
