This event is characterized by multiple negative carbon isotope excursions (NCIEs). However, the driving mechanism behind these multiple NCIEs remains elusive because each of the NCIEs had different magnitudes in different geological settings. In this study, we present a high-resolution record of carbonate carbon isotope ( <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" overflow=\"scroll\"> <mml:mi>δ</mml:mi> </mml:math> 13 C carb ) and major and trace element data from Well QZ-8 in the Qiangtang Basin, eastern Tethys. The carbon isotope profile from this well displays a similar trend to those for contemporaneous strata in the NW Tethys and South China. This trend is characterized by a distinct negative excursion during the CPE, supporting a global event. Interestingly, our results reveal five NCIEs for the first time in the marine sedimentary succession. Furthermore, each of these NCIEs corresponds well to changes in Ti/Al, Sr/Al and Sr/Ba, suggesting a regional effect of the hydrological cycle on carbon isotope excursions. This study emphasizes that each of the NCIEs was influenced by regional hydrological cycles although the long carbon isotope excursion during the CPE was driven by the global carbon cycle.

The latter was emplaced in a magmatic rift wedge within the juvenile continental crust of the c. 720–600 Ma Marches Terrane, a subduction magmatic domain formed at the margin of the Gondwana palaeocontinent. The Charnian magmatic arc is characterized by primitive island arc tholeiite to more evolved calc-alkaline compositions. The inversion of aeromagnetic potential field data and petrophysical modelling reveals details of the internal structure of the Charnian Domain, including a median rift, superimposed annular structures and partitioning lineaments. The modelling suggests that the arc foundation could incorporate magnetite-rich cumulates, which may explain the anomalous geophysical properties, including crustal thickness, rigidity and buoyancy. There is no evidence for significant tectonic displacement between the Charnian Domain and its Marches Terrane host. Instead, the domain likely occupies a wedge-shaped arc/marginal rift basin complex, propagated from a neighbouring ocean into the Gondwana margin. Contemporaneous volcanic rift successions in the Welsh Borderland and Wales of the 570–550 Ma Charnian magmatic phase developed in coeval ensialic rifts within less strongly extended Marches Terrane lithosphere. A comparable diversity of subduction-related magmatism is found in the Neogene–recent Hikurangi destructive margin of New Zealand, providing a plausible analogue for Charnian magmatism.

For this reason, understanding erosion rates across East Greenland is crucial to constrain landscape evolution driven by tectonics and climate-dependent erosion rates. Here we analyse published apatite fission track (AFT) data to constrain the spatial pattern of AFT bedrock ages across the landscape. We compare these bedrock ages with published detrital distribution to highlight ambiguity in the pattern of erosion. In contrast to earlier work, we regress a simple model of exhumation pace through the bedrock ages such that age can vary both as a function of elevation and position. The resulting iso-age surfaces enable us to determine potential source areas for detrital AFT ages distributions. We find that old ages observed in detrital distributions are just as likely to be sourced from low-elevation locations that are far from the coast, as high elevation locations close to the coast. Additional data from lower temperature systems are thus required to make firm conclusions on landscape evolution in the region and distinguish between the two landscape-forming scenarios.","PeriodicalId":17320,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Geological Society","volume":"56 1-2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135222008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The distinct shale environments present in both upper and lower units of J 2 q 2 provide an ideal example for studying the enrichment mechanism of organic matter (OM) under a complex sedimentary background. In this study, petrological, mineralogical, major/trace element, and isotopic analyses were used to reconstruct the paleo-environment and reveal the mechanisms of OM enrichment. The results indicate that the J 2 q 2 shale was deposited in a lacustrine mixed carbonate-siliciclastic environment and the paleo-environment indicators suggesting an oxic-dysoxic, mildly brackish water condition. Based on a comprehensive comparison of both members of J 2 q 2 , an OM enrichment model was established and the main controlling factor of the formation of the organic-rich shale is elucidated. Under the background of a warm-humid climate, the lower unit of J 2 q 2 was deposited in a deeper and more restricted water body with stronger chemical weathering, resulting in limited terrestrial input compared to that of the upper unit. The inorganic geochemical analysis indicates a higher primary productivity in the lower unit of J 2 q 2 with local fluctuations. High primary productivity and favorable preservation conditions domain the OM enrichment in the study area.

This study investigates the nature of metamorphosed mélange in the Milin area of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis to shed light on the India-Asia collision in the region. The mélange exhibits a “block-in-matrix” fabric in the lower and upper parts and a “lenticular-thrust-slices” fabric in the middle. Quartzite blocks in the lower part are proposed to be the Silurian or younger quartz arenites with a Tethyan affinity. Metacherts and amphibolites in the middle and upper parts may have originated from hydrothermal or terrestrial cherts and Nb-enriched basalts in the Asian forearc or syncollisional basin at ∼48-45 Ma. The diverse blocks/slices of the mélange, sourced from both the subducting and overriding plates, are suggested to be formed during Indian plate subduction. The protoliths of the amphibolite-metachert slice (∼45 Ma) in the mélange are distinctly different from the contemporary shallow sea (post-collisional) deposits but similar to the deep-water (initial collisional or pre-collisional) sediments in other parts of the suture zone. This implies that the amphibolite-metachert slice may represent the product of the initial India-Asia collision or even pre-collision and that (hard) collision likely lagged by ∼10-Myr in the eastern Himalaya syntaxis.

We present here new trace element and radiogenic Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic data from a Late Cretaceous ophiolite in the Outer Zagros Belt of southern Iran and discuss its magmatic development through SIM in a Neotethyan forearc setting. Initial volcanism produced the stratigraphically oldest boninitic (BON) lavas in the Haji-Abad ophiolite whose trace element ratios as well as Pb isotopic signatures indicate a refractory mantle source, which was contaminated by subducting slab-derived fluids. The BON lavas change structurally upwards into island-arc tholeiitic (IAT) lavas and their fractionated felsic derivatives that display isotopic evidence for the contribution of sediment-derived melts in their magmatic source(s). This melt evolution pattern of the Haji-Abad ophiolite marks a major difference from the progressive melt evolution trends reported from the Izu–Bonin–Mariana (IBM) forearc lava sequence, which starts at the bottom with forearc basalts (FAB) phasing up-section into BON and IAT affinity lavas. IAT lavas in the IBM are in turn overlain by calc-alkaline (CAL) lavas. Our geochemical modelling points to a probable existence of a less depleted, pre-subduction mantle whose partial melting probably generated primary magmas before the eruption of boninitic lavas, although the record of such magmas is missing in the Haji-Abad ophiolite. Our comparison of the chemostratigraphy of the Outer Zagros ophiolites with the documented record of subduction initiation generated volcanic rocks in the other Neotethyan ophiolites in the region and the IBM forearc setting strongly suggests that there is no single rule or template for SIM.

This is a vestige of the unbroken formation of the lithosphere in the northwestern segment of Neotethys during the Mesozoic, spanning from the late Anisian to the late Tithonian. In this contribution, we present detailed mineralogical, petrological, geochemical, and isotopic data on the mélange collected from 1991 to 2023. These data include the entire normal ophiolite sequence, from mantle tectonites and cumulate ultramafic rocks through cumulate and isotropic gabbro and sheeted dyke complex to massive and pillow lavas with interbedded radiolarian cherts. We found that the continuous development of oceanic lithosphere during the Mesozoic has been evidenced by seven geochemical groups of ophiolitic rocks, each representing a distinct basalt-gabbro suite. Based on their geochemical and isotopic characteristics, a sequence of petrogenetic processes and tectono-magmatic events has been reconstructed. Proposed geodynamic models which shed light on the Mesozoic evolution of the northwestern segment of Neotethys are consistent with the current geodynamic understanding of the broader Mediterranean region. The similarities in the tectono-magmatic and geodynamic history of NW Neotethyan ophiolites and ophiolites from the Dinaridic-Albanide-Hellenide belts suggest that they evolved together, likely within a single branch of the Neotethys Ocean during Triassic to Jurassic time.

The closure of the Proto-Tethys Ocean represents the end of convergence along the northern edge of Eastern Gondwana. However, the timing and processes of the closing of the ocean have different interpretations. This work focuses on the early Paleozoic granitic rocks in the Baoshan Block (BSB), SW China, to constrain the tectonic evolution of the Proto-Tethys Ocean. Zircons from the Pinghe and Zhen'an granitic plutons yield concordant U–Pb ages from 489.8 Ma to 467.7 Ma. The bulk-rock geochemical features suggest that these samples are high-K, calc-alkaline, S-type granites enriched in LREEs and depleted in HREEs. With obvious negative Eu-anomalies and high K 2 O/Na 2 O ratios (1.01–2.57), they are enriched in LILEs and depleted in HFSEs. Thus, these rocks were derived from partial crustal melting associated with subduction of the converging plate. Previous studies on the Changning–Menglian suture zone suggested that the Early Paleozoic magmatic activity in the BSB was related to the westward subduction of the Proto-Tethys Ocean, combining the Early Paleozoic subduction-related magmatic activity to the east, it is suggested that the Changning–Menglian Ocean experienced bidirectional subduction.","PeriodicalId":17320,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Geological Society","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136295397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
