This study presents a detailed examination of these hydrothermally influenced carbonate cements, constraining their age, carbonate diagenesis and relationship with regional geodynamic evolution. Sedimentological analyses demonstrate the development of deltaic plain and front sand bodies in the study area, which resulted in interbeds of volcanic matrix‐rich sandstones with matrix‐free sandstones. Petrography and electron microprobe analysis reveal four carbonate mineral growth phases of matrix‐free sandstones in the following sequence; scarce pure siderite, scarce Mg‐rich siderite, abundant blocky calcite and moderately abundant grain‐replacing calcite. The fluid inclusion data show anomalies of homogenization temperature of blocky carbonate cements during early diagenesis, over a wide range of <jats:italic>ca</jats:italic> 148 to 228°C. In addition, blocky carbonate cements show low δ<jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C (−5.9 to −13.1‰ Vienna PeeDee Belemnite) and δ<jats:sup>18</jats:sup>O (clustered tightly from −12.4 to −14.6‰ Vienna PeeDee Belemnite) values, interpreted to result from elevated temperatures during cementation, associated with activation of basement faults and concomitant hydrothermal fluid intrusion triggered by oceanic crust subduction in the south‐west margin of the Ordos Basin. Using <jats:italic>in situ</jats:italic> calcite U–Pb geochronology, the timing of hydrothermal activity was constrained to <jats:italic>ca</jats:italic> 247.0 ± 11 to 248.2 ± 4.7 Ma. This work provides a case study for applying intergranular calcite U–Pb dating to determine the absolute timing of fluid flow in sedimentary basins, offering tremendous potential to capture snapshots of various diagenetic evolution stages in sediments. The proposed diagenetic model can also provide new insights and understanding regarding hydrothermally influenced sediments. More importantly, hydrothermal activity may have commenced earlier than previously thought. The North Qinling Orogen uplift and associated Mianlue oceanic crust subduction may have begun at the Permian–Triassic transition with a protracted hydrothermal event in the south‐western Ordos Basin.","PeriodicalId":21838,"journal":{"name":"Sedimentology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142269678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Saddle dolomite and, generally, Ca–Mg carbonates with curved crystal faces, are often assigned to the burial (hydrothermal) realm and serve as proxy archives for hydrogeochemical processes in sedimentary basins and orogens. At present, the physicochemical conditions leading to the formation of these peculiar warped carbonates are unclear, and the mechanisms inducing the curvature of their crystal lattice are debated. This study uses laboratory experiments to assess the factors controlling the formation of carbonates with curved crystal faces as a function of fluid temperature, reactant size, fluid salinity and fluid Mg : Ca. Results show that a range of magnesium calcites with curved surfaces form at elevated temperatures (<jats:italic>ca</jats:italic> 220°C) from calcium‐rich fluids (Mg : Ca = 0.43) within a wide range of fluid salinities (5 to 40 wt.%). Magnesium calcites that nucleate epitaxially on rhombohedral or saddle dolomite substrates exhibit warped surfaces, while those that nucleate on calcite seeds form flat surfaces. Although the two crystal habits can co‐occur, Mg‐calcites with curved crystal faces (Mg : Ca of 0.35 to 0.40) tend to be more calcium‐rich than those with flat faces (Mg : Ca of 0.58 to 0.74). In experiments with higher fluid temperature (230°C), calcite reactants undergo replacement by dolomite exhibiting planar crystal faces. The results collectively indicate that the formation of Ca–Mg carbonates with warped surfaces is likely related to a combination of geochemical and physical parameters and various threshold limits, as opposed to one specific parameter, for example, elevated fluid temperature, as is commonly reported in the literature. Although most of the present experimental precipitates are disordered magnesian calcites with bent crystal faces, it is reasonable, at the level of a tentative working hypothesis, that these represent precursors of many ancient saddle dolomites commonly found in burial settings.","PeriodicalId":21838,"journal":{"name":"Sedimentology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142192891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the two most important sequence stratigraphic surfaces, while the subaerial unconformity can be reliably identified by either karst development or the appearance of siliciclastic materials, the demarcation of the maximum flooding surface remains difficult in lithologically uniform shallow marine carbonate sequences. The present study attempts to identify the globally documented maximum flooding surface within the body of the negative carbon isotope excursion of the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum recorded in the shallow marine carbonate platform sequences. The results show that, along with the carbonate microfacies, the yttrium to holmium ratio (Y/Ho ratio) of the carbonate fraction reliably records the sea‐level changes. A Y/Ho ratio between 70 and 80 demarcates the stratigraphic position of the maximum sea‐level state (the most open marine condition in the studied interval) and maximum flooding surface in the studied sections. Since the Y/Ho ratios remain relatively stable throughout diagenesis, they can be used for maximum flooding surface identification in shallow marine carbonate platform sequences. The possibility exists that the same method can also be applied to the mixed siliciclastic–carbonate systems.","PeriodicalId":21838,"journal":{"name":"Sedimentology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142192894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A better understanding of mud retention on deltas would resolve remaining questions regarding delta growth. This study explores how spatiotemporally varied mud retention facilitates sustained delta growth in defiance of the concept of autoretreat, that is, the idea that shoreline progradation rates decline as a delta grows due to the expansion of subaqueous and subaerial delta surfaces. This research is inspired by prior field observations of the river‐dominated Mississippi Delta, USA, where the shoreline of a <jats:italic>ca</jats:italic> 6000 to 8000 km<jats:sup>2</jats:sup> subdelta prograded at a constant rate for roughly a millennium, despite its expanding delta surface, compaction and sea‐level rise. For this, a laterally averaged one‐dimensional numerical model is leveraged to test hypotheses that enhanced mud retention with time in: (i) the delta bottomset; and (ii) the delta plain (floodplain) supports a constant rate of shoreline progradation in a maturing delta. Results demonstrate that enhanced mud retention in both the bottomset and delta plain facilitates sustained delta growth. Neither component by itself can replicate the case study. Yet, with these two integrated components, the model reproduces the cross‐section and linearly prograding pattern observed in the Mississippi Delta. The findings provide an autogenic mechanism for sustained delta growth and support the importance of mud as a fundamental building block of deltas that should be incorporated in delta‐growth models of engineered river diversions.","PeriodicalId":21838,"journal":{"name":"Sedimentology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142192896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, understanding their mechanisms of formation, infilling and preservation is crucial since they could be more abundant in the fossil record than expected or be misinterpreted as other soft‐sediment deformation structures. To solve these aspects, this study analyses consecutive cross‐sections performed along a human track made by a shod foot in semi‐liquid sediments in the upper intertidal flats of the Bay of Mont‐Saint‐Michel (north‐west France) and monitored until its complete burial. These were compared with cross‐sections of tracks made in a flume tank. Cross‐sections reveal that the sediment structures associated with these tracks reflect the mechanism of their formation and infilling, and even the footstep dynamics. These structures comprise: (i) marginal rims that developed at both sides of tracks during foot penetration; (ii) upward deformation structures produced during foot withdrawal; (iii) a <jats:italic>syn‐track infilling</jats:italic>, which almost entirely fills the tracks during the withdrawal, formed by sediment collapsed from the track walls or by liquefied sediment; (iv) a <jats:italic>post‐track infilling</jats:italic> that fills the tracks completely during their subsequent flooding. This work demonstrates that these tracks have a high preservation potential in tidal settings, especially if they are made after the peak of a spring tide period, and undergo desiccation and consolidation during neap tides, which prevents their erosion and favours their burial by sediment. The identification of the above‐mentioned structures in fossil counterparts provides useful palaeoenvironmental information, because they allow discriminating these tracks from those made in sediments with less water content and from other soft‐sediment deformation structures (i.e. convolute bedding and balls‐and pillows) with which they share strong resemblances.","PeriodicalId":21838,"journal":{"name":"Sedimentology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142192921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the 19th century, many rivers have been significantly modified to control flood hazards, to gain land from swamp areas for agricultural purposes, and to stabilize river‐levels and lake‐levels to facilitate navigation. These dramatic changes of the river courses have impacted the sediment budgets and grain‐size dissemination along them as well as the sediment distribution at the delta mouths in the downstream lakes, which could lead to slope instabilities. Deposits of such catastrophic lacustrine mass movements caused by delta collapses have been, for instance, observed in Lake Brienz (Switzerland), where relatively thick (0.5 to 1.3 m) and voluminous (&gt;1 million m<jats:sup>3</jats:sup>) megaturbidites are stacked in the deep basin witnessing these processes. This study uses sediment cores and seismic data to reconstruct the megaturbidites' history in Lake Brienz. Data reveal that mass‐movement deposits, originating from the Aare Delta, one of the two main inflows, have mean ages of 1853, 1905, 1942 and 1996 <jats:sc>ce</jats:sc> and that they were unprecedented in, at least, half a millennium. The fact that the numbers of floods and earthquakes have not changed radically over this time period implies that human impact is the most likely explanation for these failure events. Therefore, the recurrent delta collapses are attributed to the focused sediment accumulation at the front of the channelized inflow in the proximal delta region, caused by the modification of the Aare River through its straightening and channelization during the late 19th century. These findings indicate that river regulation can affect delta sedimentation, leading to autocyclic delta collapses. Those collapses, in turn, can potentially generate tsunami waves, representing an additional natural hazard for shoreline communities.","PeriodicalId":21838,"journal":{"name":"Sedimentology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142192897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the rebound probability of sand particles during sand transport. The widely used rebound probability models are essentially empirical and the mechanism that generates non‐rebounding particles remains unclear. By tracking the grain–bed collision process of impact particles in steady‐state sand flows, it was observed that non‐rebounding particles undergo repetitive collisional momentum losses within the rheological layer of the sand bed. Therefore, rebound probability models based on the incident velocity and angle cannot realistically describe rebound probability. Furthermore, the rheological sand bed produces numerous rebound particles with a coefficient of restitution above 1.0, converting the normal distribution of the coefficient of restitution into a lognormal distribution pattern with considerably larger variances. The new insights into aeolian rebounds gained through this study are expected to reduce the uncertainties in sand flux predictions.","PeriodicalId":21838,"journal":{"name":"Sedimentology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141929357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their interplay with tectonics and climate often complicates the interpretation of depositional processes, usually resulting in a complex facies architecture that is challenging to correlate regionally. The Lower to Middle Permian Roseneath–Epsilon–Murteree strata of the Cooper Basin in Australia represent a glacially influenced fluvial–deltaic lake system, which hosts substantial petroleum resources. Despite their potential, the Roseneath–Epsilon–Murteree strata are inadequately understood in terms of regional facies architecture and their palaeogeographical implications. Using a multidisciplinary approach with robust data, including cores, petrology, wireline logs and geochemistry, the sedimentary evolution of the Roseneath–Epsilon–Murteree strata is described within a new basin‐wide sequence stratigraphic framework defined by key surfaces identified from cores and wireline logs. Detailed facies analysis of over 1400 m of cores and wireline logs from nine wells identified twelve lithofacies and eight facies associations, revealing various depositional processes and environments. The Roseneath–Epsilon–Murteree strata are interpreted as having formed in a fluvial–deltaic–lacustrine system influenced by a cold climate. First‐order and second‐order maximum flooding surfaces define a regional sequence stratigraphic framework, subdividing the Roseneath–Epsilon–Murteree strata into four sequence units (SU1, SU2, SU3 and SU4), deposited during four phases (I, II, III and IV). Cyclic stacking patterns observed in both cores and wireline logs reveal two transgressive–regressive cycles. Palaeogeographical maps of the four depositional phases suggest that the Roseneath–Epsilon–Murteree strata were dominated by a lacustrine system with some delta and mire deposits. Rivers primarily drained towards the south/south‐west from the Gidgealpa, Merrimelia, Packsaddle and Innamincka ridges (‘GMI Trend’) as indicated by decreasing sandstone percentages and increasing gross unit isopach maps. The deposition of the Roseneath–Epsilon–Murteree strata was primarily controlled by basin subsidence. Additionally, palaeoclimate trends and extensive glaciation in the Permian played important roles in providing sediments and affecting lake level changes. The lake system recorded by the Roseneath–Epsilon–Murteree strata serves as an analogue for other fluvial–deltaic–lacustrine systems in basins worldwide. A multidisciplinary approach, similar to the one utilized in this study, can help to elucidate their evolution and aid in resource prediction.","PeriodicalId":21838,"journal":{"name":"Sedimentology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141873131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although temporal variations have been examined over seasonal scales or longer durations, there is a paucity of information regarding the dynamics of halite deposition at shorter durations of days and hours. Additionally, the influence of water discharges and surface salinity gradients remains poorly understood. Here, for the first time, <jats:italic>in situ</jats:italic>, hourly to weekly halite accumulation rates were measured on the Dead Sea floor (<jats:italic>ca</jats:italic> 20 m water depth), the only modern deep and hypersaline water body. Novel underwater photography methods were developed to directly observe halite precipitation at the lake floor, coeval with monitoring of the environmental drives, i.e. evaporation, meteorological and limnological conditions. Two fundamental environments were explored: a diluted plume environment arising from spring discharge; and a mixed hypersaline environment. The focus was on deposition during winter when the halite accumulation rate is highest, and the relationship between evaporation and halite accumulation is most straightforward since the water column is vertically uniform. Significant spatial variations in halite accumulation were found between the two environments, along with hourly variations in each environment. In the mixed hypersaline environment, over intra‐diurnal timescales, evaporation plays a more significant role in halite precipitation, whereas temperature has a greater impact on seasonal changes. In the diluted plume environment, the stability of the buoyant plume controls the rate of halite deposition; during windstorms, the plume is stirred, with higher surface water salinity and higher rate of halite accumulation. However, under calm winds, the plume is stable, with diluted surface water, and the rate of halite accumulation is a few times lower. Following these new findings, the implications for the interpretation of halite deposits are discussed.","PeriodicalId":21838,"journal":{"name":"Sedimentology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141746489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
