Spectrogram analysis of seven natural gamma-ray logging of Member 1 of the Qingshankou Formation （K2qn^1） and Member 1 and 2 of the Nenjiang Formation （K2n^1-2） of Late Cretaceous age in the Songliao Basin reveals...Spectrogram analysis of seven natural gamma-ray logging of Member 1 of the Qingshankou Formation （K2qn^1） and Member 1 and 2 of the Nenjiang Formation （K2n^1-2） of Late Cretaceous age in the Songliao Basin reveals sedimentary cyclicities controlled by Milankovitch climate periodicities. The recognition of Milankovitch cycles allows estimation of an average accumulation rate of ～7.55- 8.62 cm/ka for the K2qn^1 sections, and ～6.69-10.16 cm/ka for the K2n^1-2 sections. Two marine transgression events occurred during the deposition of K2qn^1 and K2n^1-2 and their ages are at ～0.74- 1.10 Ma and ～2.38-4.84 Ma, respectively. Identification of Milankoviteh cycles from fine-grained deep lake sedimentary rocks in the Songliao Basin may provide great potential for high-resolution stratigraphic subdivisions and correlations.展开更多

Based on outcrop observation of the Changjianggou section at Shangsi, Guangyuan region and 3 rd -order sequence division in typical drillings, one-dimensional spectrum analysis has been used to choose the better curve between the natural gamma ray spectrometry log（ln （Th/K）） in Well-Long17 and the gamma ray log（GR） in Well-Wujia1, respectively, for identifying Milankovitch cycles in Sequence PSQ1 which comprises the Liangshan and Qixia formations, and then to identify the variation in the Milankovitch cycle sequences. On this basis, the system tract and 4 th -order sequence interfaces in Sequence PSQ1 were found via two-dimensional spectral analysis and digital filtering. Finally, a high-frequency sequence division program was established. Among these cycles, long eccentricity （413.0 ka） and short eccentricity （123.0 ka） are the most unambiguous, and they are separately the major control factors in forming 4 th -order （parasequence sets） and 5 th -order （parasequences） sequences, with the average thicknesses corresponding to the main cycles being 11.47 m and 3.32 m in Well-Long17, and 14.21 m and 3.79 m in Well-Wujia1, respectively. In other words, the deposition rate in the beach subfacies is faster than that of the inner ramp facies. The ln（Th/K） curve is more sensitive than the GR as the index of relatively ancient water depth in carbonate deposition. One-dimensional spectrum analysis of ln（Th/K） curve could distinguish the Milankovitch cycle sequences that arose from the Precession cycle （20.90 ka）, with a much higher credibility. Sequence PSQ1 in Well-Long17 contains 10 4 th -order sequences, and the growth span of Sequence PSQ1 consisting of the Liangshan and Qixia formations is about 4.13 Ma. The single deposition thickness of the long eccentricity cycle sequence has the characteristics of thinning and then thickening in the two-dimensional spectrum, which could be used to identify the system tract interface of the 3 rd -order sequence. The precession sequence thickness remains stationary. As a result, the early deposition rate in the mid-Permian of the Sichuan basin was very slow, remaining nearly stationary, and this reflects a sustained depositional environment. Whole-rock carbon and oxygen isotope curves could also prove this point. Milankovitch cycle sequence studies provide a basis for paleoenvironmental analysis and, as such, can be used to analyze ancient climate change, calculate deposition rate and deposition time, and carry out fine isochronous stratigraphic correlation.展开更多

Their hierarchical structures, ratio relationships and sequence in conodont zones are continuous and stable and can be traced across different facies zones and sedimentary basins. Our data show that hierarchically organized superbundlesets, bundlesets, bundles and laminae correspond to the long eccentricity, eccentricity, obliquity or precession and sub-Milankovitch cycles respectively. Their periods were 400,000, 100,000, 33,333, 16,667 and 8,000–17,000 a, respectively. The ratios of long eccentricity to eccentricity, eccentricity to obliquity, and eccentricity to precession in the Devonian are 1:4, 1:3 and 1:6 respectively. Using these hierarchical Milankovitch cyclothems, chronostratigraphical division and correlation can be realized at a resolution of 100 ka or 10 ka at the Frasnian-Famennian transition. The time intervals of the Upper rhenana Zone, linguiformis Zone, and the Lower, Middle and Upper triangularis Zone are 0.6, 0.8, 0.3, 0.3 and 0.3 Ma, respectively. Sea-level changes of the Frasnian-Famennian transition were not coherent and synchronous at the resolution of 100 ka or 10 ka in the basin-slope carbonate sequences of Guangxi, South China.展开更多

This high-resolution stratigraphic study was based on Milankovitch's orbital cycle theory. It was found that the CWT scale factors, ‘a,’ of 12, 24 and 60 match the ratios of the periodicities of precession, obliquity and eccentricity very well. Nine intervals of the Permo-carboniferous strata were recognized to have Milankovitch cycles in them. For example, section A of well Q3 has 29 precession cycles, 15 obliquity cycles and 7 short eccentricity cycles. The wavelengths are 2.7, 4.4 and 7.8 m for precession, obliquity and eccentricity, respectively. Important geological parameters such as the stratigraphic completeness and the accumulation rate were also estimated. These results provide basic information for further cyclostratigraphic correlation studies in the area. They are of great significance for the study of ancient and future climate change.展开更多

The Ce/La curve of the upper Famennian of Huangmao (Guangxi) may be well correlated to that of Muhua (Guizhou) and of Mid-Tarim (Xinjiang). They correspond not only in curve-feature, but also in number of cycles. Huangmao and Mid-Tarim are now located 3 000 km apart, during the Devonian possibly they were located farther apart. This study proves that the simultaneous sedimentary record of Milankovitch eccentricity cycles with a recurrent interval of 100 ka may be traced at different long-range sites. These cycles simultaneously developed in different depositional settings among different facies suites as a result of regional to global climate forcing, thus supporting the Milankovitch Theory.展开更多

The study indicates that these chemo-cycles with time spans of 0.10 Ma have an internal relation with paleoclimatic changes, and it might have an origin through Milankovitch eccentricity cyclicity.展开更多
Carbonate strata of the Mesoproterozoic Wumishan Formation in the Jixian area near Tianjin are ~3300 m thick and were deposited over some 100 million years(from ~1310±20 Ma to ~1207±10 Ma).Metre-scale cycles...Carbonate strata of the Mesoproterozoic Wumishan Formation in the Jixian area near Tianjin are ~3300 m thick and were deposited over some 100 million years(from ~1310±20 Ma to ~1207±10 Ma).Metre-scale cycles(parasequences) dominate the succession.They are generally of the peritidal carbonate type,and mostly show an approximately symmetrical lithofacies succession with thick stromatolite biostromes and small thromboliteoncolite bioherms constituting the central part and tidal-flat dolomites forming the upper and lower parts.Lagoonal-supratidal dolomitic shales with palaeosol caps make up the topmost layers.The boundaries of the Wumishan cycles are typically exposure surfaces,and there is abundant evidence for fresh-water diagenesis.Widespread 1:4 stacking patterns indicate that the individual Wumishan cycles are sixthorder parasequences,with 4 parasequences constituting one fifth-order parasequence set.Locally,5-8 beds or couplets,can be discerned in some of the cycles.The regular vertical stacking pattern of beds within the sixth-order parasequences,forming the fifth-order parasequence sets,are interpreted as the result of environmental fluctuations controlled by Milankovitch rhythms,namely the superimposition of precession,and short and long-eccentricity.The widespread 1:4 stacking pattern in the cyclic succession,as well as the local 1:5-8 stacking patterns of the beds within the cycles,suggest that the Milankovitch rhythms had similar ratios in the Mesoproterozoic as in the Phanerozoic.Based on the cycle stacking patterns,26 thirdorder sequences can be distinguished and these group into 6 second-order,transgressiveregressive megasequences(or sequence sets),all reflecting a composite,hierarchical succession of relative sea-level changes.展开更多
Milankovitch periodicities of 123 kyr(eccentricity), 35.6 kyr(obliquity), and 21.2 kyr(precession) were identified in geophysical logs of three Late Permian coals: 17#, 18#, and 17 + 18#, from the Songhe mining area i...Milankovitch periodicities of 123 kyr(eccentricity), 35.6 kyr(obliquity), and 21.2 kyr(precession) were identified in geophysical logs of three Late Permian coals: 17#, 18#, and 17 + 18#, from the Songhe mining area in western Guizhou Province. Based on the astronomic temporal framework, the periods of deposition of the 17#(5.6 m), 18#(6.4 m), and 17 + 18#(5.4 m) coals were constrained to 140.8–119.8 kyr, 160–136.2 kyr, and 135–114.9 kyr,respectively. The overall depositional period of the 18# coal of 160–136.2 kyr was further subdivided using the wavelet analysis method, into short and precise periods corresponding to the Milankovitch periodicities. It includes one eccentricity periodicity(123 kyr), three obliquity periodicities(35.6 kyr), and five precession periodicities(21.2 kyr). Different thicknesses of the subdivided coal sections, equivalent to the same time span of deposition, indicate different rates of coal deposition, i.e., thicker sections imply higher rates while the thinner sections represent lower rates. The combination of the measured average carbon concentration with the density of the coals gave rise to long-term average values of carbon accumulation rates for the Late Permian coals, in the range of 42.4–50.6 g?C?m^(-2)?a^(-1). This range corresponds to the long-term average carbon accumulation rates for the initial peat in the range of 60.6–72.3 g?C?m^(-2)?a^(-1). Based on the known quantitative relation between net primary productivity(NPP)values and long-term average carbon accumulation rates for the Holocene tropical peatlands, the range of NPP values for the Late Permian tropical peatlands was estimated as 242.4–433.8 g?C?m^(-2)?a^(-1).A comparison of existing information about peatland NPP levels of various ages and latitudes indicated that when conditions of high rain and high humidity prevail in the palaeo-peatland at given latitude, the NPP rates will vary with changes in atmospheric concentration of CO_2 and O_2. This relationship may lead to the use of coals as an indicator for the concentration of these gases(CO_2 and O_2) in the contemporaneous atmosphere encompassing the long records of coal deposition.展开更多

The recognition of Milankovitch cycles allows estimation of an average accumulation rate of ～7.55- 8.62 cm/ka for the K2qn^1 sections, and ～6.69-10.16 cm/ka for the K2n^1-2 sections. Two marine transgression events occurred during the deposition of K2qn^1 and K2n^1-2 and their ages are at ～0.74- 1.10 Ma and ～2.38-4.84 Ma, respectively. Identification of Milankoviteh cycles from fine-grained deep lake sedimentary rocks in the Songliao Basin may provide great potential for high-resolution stratigraphic subdivisions and correlations.

文摘The Liangshan and Qixia formations in the Sichuan Basin of central China were formed in the earlier middle Permian. Based on outcrop observation of the Changjianggou section at Shangsi, Guangyuan region and 3 rd -order sequence division in typical drillings, one-dimensional spectrum analysis has been used to choose the better curve between the natural gamma ray spectrometry log（ln （Th/K）） in Well-Long17 and the gamma ray log（GR） in Well-Wujia1, respectively, for identifying Milankovitch cycles in Sequence PSQ1 which comprises the Liangshan and Qixia formations, and then to identify the variation in the Milankovitch cycle sequences. On this basis, the system tract and 4 th -order sequence interfaces in Sequence PSQ1 were found via two-dimensional spectral analysis and digital filtering. Finally, a high-frequency sequence division program was established. Among these cycles, long eccentricity （413.0 ka） and short eccentricity （123.0 ka） are the most unambiguous, and they are separately the major control factors in forming 4 th -order （parasequence sets） and 5 th -order （parasequences） sequences, with the average thicknesses corresponding to the main cycles being 11.47 m and 3.32 m in Well-Long17, and 14.21 m and 3.79 m in Well-Wujia1, respectively. In other words, the deposition rate in the beach subfacies is faster than that of the inner ramp facies. The ln（Th/K） curve is more sensitive than the GR as the index of relatively ancient water depth in carbonate deposition. One-dimensional spectrum analysis of ln（Th/K） curve could distinguish the Milankovitch cycle sequences that arose from the Precession cycle （20.90 ka）, with a much higher credibility. Sequence PSQ1 in Well-Long17 contains 10 4 th -order sequences, and the growth span of Sequence PSQ1 consisting of the Liangshan and Qixia formations is about 4.13 Ma. The single deposition thickness of the long eccentricity cycle sequence has the characteristics of thinning and then thickening in the two-dimensional spectrum, which could be used to identify the system tract interface of the 3 rd -order sequence. The precession sequence thickness remains stationary. As a result, the early deposition rate in the mid-Permian of the Sichuan basin was very slow, remaining nearly stationary, and this reflects a sustained depositional environment. Whole-rock carbon and oxygen isotope curves could also prove this point. Milankovitch cycle sequence studies provide a basis for paleoenvironmental analysis and, as such, can be used to analyze ancient climate change, calculate deposition rate and deposition time, and carry out fine isochronous stratigraphic correlation.

文摘Four hierarchical cyclothems, superbundlesets, bundlesets, bundles and laminae, have been identified from the Devonian Frasnian-Famennian carbonate strata in Guangxi, South China. Their hierarchical structures, ratio relationships and sequence in conodont zones are continuous and stable and can be traced across different facies zones and sedimentary basins. Our data show that hierarchically organized superbundlesets, bundlesets, bundles and laminae correspond to the long eccentricity, eccentricity, obliquity or precession and sub-Milankovitch cycles respectively. Their periods were 400,000, 100,000, 33,333, 16,667 and 8,000–17,000 a, respectively. The ratios of long eccentricity to eccentricity, eccentricity to obliquity, and eccentricity to precession in the Devonian are 1:4, 1:3 and 1:6 respectively. Using these hierarchical Milankovitch cyclothems, chronostratigraphical division and correlation can be realized at a resolution of 100 ka or 10 ka at the Frasnian-Famennian transition. The time intervals of the Upper rhenana Zone, linguiformis Zone, and the Lower, Middle and Upper triangularis Zone are 0.6, 0.8, 0.3, 0.3 and 0.3 Ma, respectively. Sea-level changes of the Frasnian-Famennian transition were not coherent and synchronous at the resolution of 100 ka or 10 ka in the basin-slope carbonate sequences of Guangxi, South China.

文摘As cyclical orbital movements of Earth,Milankovitch cycles can be recorded in sedimentary strata.The time they reflect can be used to accurately divide and compare strata.Milankovitch cycles recorded in strata enrich the stratigraphic theory,especially the theories of cycle stratigraphy,and thus they are widely used in geological survey engineering nowadays.This study explored the characteristics of the Milankovitch cycles recorded in the eastern depression of the North Yellow Sea Basin,highlighting their control over high-frequency stratigraphic sequences.The Eocene Milankovitch cycles in the depression were calculated based on the method proposed by J.Laskar,and their parameters primarily include eccentricity cycles of 125 ka and 99 ka,obliquity cycles of 51 ka and 39 ka,and precession cycles of 23 ka and 19 ka.Spectral analysis of gamma-ray(GR)and spontaneous potential(SP)log curves of the Eocene strata was carried out to divide and compare stratigraphic sequences,revealing that the spectral peaks correspond well to astronomical cycles.This indicates that the strata in the depression fully record Milankovitch cycles.Furthermore,there are long-,medium-,and short-term stratigraphic cycles in the eastern depression,with a thickness of 13.03-15.89 m,3.70-5.21 m,and 2.17-2.94 m,respectively.The sedimentation rates of the Eocene strata were calculated to be 121.2-127.12 m/Ma accordingly.From the uplift to the center of the lacustrine basin along the slope in the eastern depression,both the sedimentation duration and the sediment thickness increase,while the sedimentation rate remains relatively stable.The Eocene strata can be divided into six stages of high-frequency sequences by continuous wavelet transformation,namely E_(6)-E_(1) from bottom to top.The sedimentation duration and sedimentation rates of the sequences were calculated using spectral analysis with each of the sequences as a separate window.Moreover,the impacts of climate change on the sedimentary environment in the eastern depression were analyzed.It can be concluded that E_(6) was a lowstand system tract,E_(5) and E_(4) were lacustrine expansion system tracts,E_(3) was a highstand system tract,and E_(2) and E_(1) were lacustrine contraction system tracts.All these verify that Milankovitch cycles serve as an effective approach for the analysis of sedimentary cycles.
文摘Restoring the deposition velocity during evolution in basin analysis is an important aspect.The restoration of high-resolution deposition velocitydthe deposition velocity over a short geological perioddcan improve the precision of basin analysis and research.However,the prerequisite for the restoration is to establish an accurate chronostratigraphic framework based on precise stratigraphic dating.Conventional methods for stratigraphic dating can only be used to determine the epochs of large stratigraphic intervals rather than accurate geological time.It is also difficult to establish a fine geological time scale with dating methods requiring sample testing such as isotopic dating due to their limitations in sample collection.In contrast,the Milankovich cycle-based dating possesses the advantages of high precision and high operability and can be used to restore high-resolution deposition velocity.Based on the identification and extraction of Milankovich cycles,this study restores the high-resolution deposition velocity of the Middle Miocene and later strata in the abyssal area of the Kutei Basin in Indonesia.The results show that the restored deposition velocity coincides well with lithological sections.This indicates that the Milankovitch cycle-based dating can be used to effectively restore reliable curves of high-resolution deposition velocity.Therefore,this study provides a methodological basis and data guarantee for studying the accumulation cycles and distribution patterns of oil and gas in the abyssal area of the Kutei Basin using wave analysis technology and can also serve as a reference for similar research in other basins.
文摘Research on chemo-biostratigraphy reveals that the periodic fluctuation of Ce/La ratios in carbonate sequence may reflect Milankovitch 100 ka eccentricity cyclicity. The Ce/La curve of the upper Famennian of Huangmao (Guangxi) may be well correlated to that of Muhua (Guizhou) and of Mid-Tarim (Xinjiang). They correspond not only in curve-feature, but also in number of cycles. Huangmao and Mid-Tarim are now located 3 000 km apart, during the Devonian possibly they were located farther apart. This study proves that the simultaneous sedimentary record of Milankovitch eccentricity cycles with a recurrent interval of 100 ka may be traced at different long-range sites. These cycles simultaneously developed in different depositional settings among different facies suites as a result of regional to global climate forcing, thus supporting the Milankovitch Theory.
文摘The simultaneity and the regionality of the chemo-cycles are proved by cycle-to-cycle correlation integrated with conodont biostratigraphic correlation of the upper part of the Givetian (Devonian) between Liujing and Dale. The study indicates that these chemo-cycles with time spans of 0.10 Ma have an internal relation with paleoclimatic changes, and it might have an origin through Milankovitch eccentricity cyclicity.

文摘Carbonate strata of the Mesoproterozoic Wumishan Formation in the Jixian area near Tianjin are ~3300 m thick and were deposited over some 100 million years(from ~1310±20 Ma to ~1207±10 Ma).Metre-scale cycles(parasequences) dominate the succession.They are generally of the peritidal carbonate type,and mostly show an approximately symmetrical lithofacies succession with thick stromatolite biostromes and small thromboliteoncolite bioherms constituting the central part and tidal-flat dolomites forming the upper and lower parts.Lagoonal-supratidal dolomitic shales with palaeosol caps make up the topmost layers.The boundaries of the Wumishan cycles are typically exposure surfaces,and there is abundant evidence for fresh-water diagenesis.Widespread 1:4 stacking patterns indicate that the individual Wumishan cycles are sixthorder parasequences,with 4 parasequences constituting one fifth-order parasequence set.Locally,5-8 beds or couplets,can be discerned in some of the cycles.The regular vertical stacking pattern of beds within the sixth-order parasequences,forming the fifth-order parasequence sets,are interpreted as the result of environmental fluctuations controlled by Milankovitch rhythms,namely the superimposition of precession,and short and long-eccentricity.The widespread 1:4 stacking pattern in the cyclic succession,as well as the local 1:5-8 stacking patterns of the beds within the cycles,suggest that the Milankovitch rhythms had similar ratios in the Mesoproterozoic as in the Phanerozoic.Based on the cycle stacking patterns,26 thirdorder sequences can be distinguished and these group into 6 second-order,transgressiveregressive megasequences(or sequence sets),all reflecting a composite,hierarchical succession of relative sea-level changes.

文摘Milankovitch periodicities of 123 kyr(eccentricity), 35.6 kyr(obliquity), and 21.2 kyr(precession) were identified in geophysical logs of three Late Permian coals: 17#, 18#, and 17 + 18#, from the Songhe mining area in western Guizhou Province. Based on the astronomic temporal framework, the periods of deposition of the 17#(5.6 m), 18#(6.4 m), and 17 + 18#(5.4 m) coals were constrained to 140.8–119.8 kyr, 160–136.2 kyr, and 135–114.9 kyr,respectively. The overall depositional period of the 18# coal of 160–136.2 kyr was further subdivided using the wavelet analysis method, into short and precise periods corresponding to the Milankovitch periodicities. It includes one eccentricity periodicity(123 kyr), three obliquity periodicities(35.6 kyr), and five precession periodicities(21.2 kyr). Different thicknesses of the subdivided coal sections, equivalent to the same time span of deposition, indicate different rates of coal deposition, i.e., thicker sections imply higher rates while the thinner sections represent lower rates. The combination of the measured average carbon concentration with the density of the coals gave rise to long-term average values of carbon accumulation rates for the Late Permian coals, in the range of 42.4–50.6 g?C?m^(-2)?a^(-1). This range corresponds to the long-term average carbon accumulation rates for the initial peat in the range of 60.6–72.3 g?C?m^(-2)?a^(-1). Based on the known quantitative relation between net primary productivity(NPP)values and long-term average carbon accumulation rates for the Holocene tropical peatlands, the range of NPP values for the Late Permian tropical peatlands was estimated as 242.4–433.8 g?C?m^(-2)?a^(-1).A comparison of existing information about peatland NPP levels of various ages and latitudes indicated that when conditions of high rain and high humidity prevail in the palaeo-peatland at given latitude, the NPP rates will vary with changes in atmospheric concentration of CO_2 and O_2. This relationship may lead to the use of coals as an indicator for the concentration of these gases(CO_2 and O_2) in the contemporaneous atmosphere encompassing the long records of coal deposition.
文摘The environmental evidence regarding the present warming of the global climate is very strong,with convincing evidence of human contribution.However,the effect of the dynamic geology and plate tectonics on these variations is often overlooked.Earth global climate is primarily determined by the efficient ability of water to convert solar light into heat and store it.Plate tectonics,describing the shifting geography through geological history,highlights the mobility of the oceans and the continents on the surface of the planet and their impact on climate variability.Since it seems that global warming is a natural phenomenon,mitigating its effects should follow large-scale engineering solutions rather than amelioration of anthropogenic pollution.
