In this paper, we describe ∼1420–1330 million year old microscopic tubes preserved as siderite (FeCO<sub>3</sub>). In size and shape these tubes closely resemble cyanobacterial sheaths forming mineralized mats. We consider two competing explanations for their formation. First, the tubes and associated sediment were originally composed of Ca-carbonate that was subsequently replaced by siderite. In this case, siderite mineralization was early, but post-mortem, as in early silicification, and preferentially preserved the more resilient sheath. However, no relict calcite is observed. Second, the Fe-carbonate mineralogy of the tubes and sediment is synsedimentary. In this case, photosynthetic oxygen may have precipitated Fe-oxyhydroxide that was promptly converted to siderite by dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR). Primary siderite mineralization of cyanobacteria has not been described before. Both explanations link photosynthetic processes to preferential sheath mineralization during the life of the cyanobacteria, as observed in present-day calcified cyanobacteria. This process might include CO<sub>2</sub>-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) linked to relatively low levels of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub>, consistent with empirical estimates of mid-Proterozoic CO<sub>2</sub> levels based on paleosols and weathering rinds. In either case, these cyanobacterium-like fossils preserved in siderite provide an early example of biomineralization and suggest the interactive influences of both metabolic processes and ambient seawater chemistry.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palaeogeography","volume":"12 3","pages":"Pages 384-400"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49890618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within the studied interval, five distinct lithofacies have been identified, including bauxite, coal, and carbonaceous shale (No. 8 + 9 coal seams), sandstone (Qiaotou), limestone (Baode), and mudstone, which can be classified into three lithofacies associations. The most complete lithofacies association is composed of bauxite, coal, carbonaceous shale, sandstone, limestone/mudstone or their combinations from the bottom to the top, while coal and carbonaceous shale, as well as sandstone, are absent locally, resulting in the formation of the other two types of lithofacies associations. The occurrence of bauxite indicates shelf exposure and weathering, the occurrence of coal and carbonaceous shale indicates swampiness of the shelf, and the occurrence of sandstone reveals river rejuvenation; all of these are thought to be sedimentary responses to the transcontinental glacier expansion in Gondwana around the CPB. The presence of limestone and mudstone indicates carbonate platform and lagoon deposition, respectively, in the context of the earliest Asselian transgression caused by volcanism-induced glacier melting. The lithofacies associations record the regressive–transgressive cycles that occurred because of glaciation and volcanism near the CPB. The top surface of bauxite can be used as a sequence boundary, while the lowstand systems tract consists of the No. 8 + 9 coal seams and the Qiaotou sandstone, and the transgressive systems tract consists of the overlying Baode limestone and laterally equivalent mudstone.

Therefore, the Huanghekou Sag is a natural laboratory to reveal the relationship between the tectonic activties and hydrcoarbon accumulations in a rifted basin. In this study, the tectonic evolution characteristics of the Bonan Uplift in different geological periods are revealed during the main fault depression periods. Then, the direction of the provenance and distribution of the depositional system of the Bonan Uplift are analyzed based on the sedimentary system and mineralogy analysis. Finally, the sediment supply in the Bonan Uplift in different geological periods has been systematically studied. The results indicated that sediment supply is the dominant factor of hydrocarbon accumulation in the Paleogene in the Huanghekou Sag. During the Paleocene-Middle Eocene, extensive denudation occurred in the Bonan Uplift, sediments were mainly sourced from the Bonan Uplift in the northern margin of the Huanghekou Sag. During the Late Eocene to Early Oligocene, the Bonan Uplift had a large angle rotation and subsidence due to the strong rifting of the Bozhong Sag in the north, and the sand supply capacity was seriously reduced. Due to the different sediment supply in different geological periods, high quality reservoir and cap conditions were formed in the Paleogene in the central and northern parts of the Huanghekou Sag, which is conducive to the accumulation and preservation of oil and gas.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palaeogeography","volume":"12 2","pages":"Pages 229-245"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50190634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
