A Vendian composite section of the Siberian Platform, which is a succession of regional to sub-global scale geological bodies reflecting particular states or unidirectional transformations determined by episodic expansion of relatively oxygen-rich environments onto the shelf and alternating with large-scale oceanic anoxia and euxinia events is proposed as a reference for constructing the stage subdivision of the Vendian. The redox instability had to be accompanied by changes in nutrient availability and could not but affect the course of macroevolution and macroecology. The geological record of the Vendian of the Siberian Platform is also marked by episodic increase in alkalinity of the World Ocean. At least five such alkalinity events could be provisionally identified in the composite section of the Vendian of the Siberian Platform. A hypothesis is proposed suggesting that the alkalinity events could control the appearance and disappearance in the geological record of a distinctive suite of sedimentary structures in carbonates, the discrete nature of early diagenetic cementation of aluminosilicoclastic sediments, and fossilization of soft-bodied organisms in the Vendian.","PeriodicalId":49587,"journal":{"name":"Russian Geology and Geophysics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135566383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the Ordovician system of the Siberian Platform and Northeastern Russia, certain changes in stratigraphic charts are proposed, nomenclative issues and different variants of correlations of regional horizons with the General Stratigraphic Scale (GSS) of Russia are considered. A geochemical analysis of Bajocian and Bathonian belemnite rostra of Arctic Siberia was carried out and for the first time a comprehensive C, O, and Sr isotope characterization of the sections was obtained, making it possible to propose a comparison of the studied sections with the European standard and to develop paleogeographic models. Comprehensive studies of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous series of the Anabar Bay deposits (Laptev Sea) led to an improved biostratigraphic division for this reference section and to the identification of the levels for interregional and global correlation. The magnetostratigraphic division of the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary interval and its comparison with the Tethyan regions are discussed. Taking into account biostratigraphic data, the δ13Corg variation curve can also serve as a correlation tool. The clinoform structure of Upper Jurassic strata was revealed in the northwest of the Anabar–Khatanga depression, based on the interpretation of seismic profiles calibrated against studied sections. The formation of this complex allows us to consider this stage as the initiation of the Verkhoyan orogeny in this folded area. Analysis of variations in the thickness of sediments allows us to deduce that intense tectonic-sedimentary processes took place during the Late Jurassic epoch, along with subsidence of the bed of the sedimentary basin. Analysis of a specific assemblage of lacustrine fossils from the reference section of the upper part of the Lower Cretaceous series of Transbaikalia and of published data showed that this fossil assemblage was widespread in East Asia. Biofacies analysis made it possible to reconstruct the paleoenvironments of this time.","PeriodicalId":49587,"journal":{"name":"Russian Geology and Geophysics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135566384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results were used to identify a succession of 13 foraminiferal biostratigraphic units, 9 dinocyst units, and 8 palynofloral biostratigraphic units in the rank of zones and local zones. Based on new data, the stratigraphic continuity of this section is proved for the Lower and Middle Volgian, where a major stratigraphic hiatus was previously assumed. The established zones have variable correlation potential. Different versions of the subdivision of the section based on ammonites are discussed and the proposed scale is justified. A reference level based on calcispheres/calcareous dinocysts is defined providing global correlations and calibration of beds near Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary in the Tethyan and Arctic regions. The magnetostratigraphic subdivision of the studied section and its comparison with the Tethyan regions are discussed. Together with biostratigraphic data, the proposed δ13Corg curve in the Upper Jurassic and lower part of the Valanginian can be a tool for detailed correlations in different regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The cyclicity of carbon isotope composition in the Upper Volgian and Boreal Berriasian and isotope events in the Volgian and Lower Valanginian are determined within the Arctic region. The distribution of geochemical parameters (Corg, δ13Corg and hydrogen index) is determined in studied section, geochemical stratification of the section and variations in major oxide compositions are demonstrated. A sharp change in geochemical parameters is identified at the base of the Paksa Formation (Upper Volgian). The distribution interval of the “subsurface chlorophyll maximum” is determined. The study shows that high concentrations of isotopically light organic carbon in the first diasterene geochemical subhorizon were caused by high phytoplankton productivity and were deposited under reducing conditions favorable for preservation of organic matter. The analysis of major oxide compositions of the studied rocks revealed that variations in the chemical composition of the studied rocks reflect changes in their mineralogy and petrography.","PeriodicalId":49587,"journal":{"name":"Russian Geology and Geophysics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135062779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Study of fluid inclusions and REE and ore element patterns show that the field ores formed from chloride solutions with the participation of surface waters in hydrothermal-magmatic system under epithermal conditions. The ores were deposited from solutions with TDS = 0.5–9.0 wt.% NaCl equiv. in the temperature range 106–287 ºC. The ores containing ca. 70 ppm Ag and up to 1.2% Pb formed through boiling-off of solutions enriched in iron salts. The ores with Ag < 7 ppm and Pb ≤ 25 ppm were generated from diluted hydrothermal solutions with predominant sodium salts and potassium admixture.

The horizons are divided into correlation layers, stratigraphic charts are refined, cyclometric stratigraphic charts of oil and gas-bearing areas of the southern part of the Lena–Tunguska province are constructed. The lower boundary of the Vendian oil and gas complex and the base of the Vendian system are established in the Nuj zone of the Nepa–Botuoba and Irkutsk zones of the Angara–Lena oil and gas region (OGR) at the end of the pre-Vendian break in sedimentation. In the Angara–Lena OGR, the Typta Formation lies after a break both on different formations of the Baikalian system, and on the basement, and it is covered by sandstones of the Vendian Nepa horizon. The Typta Formation is assigned to the Vendian system, to the Vilyuchan horizon. In the Nepa–Botuoba OGR, a long pre-Vendian break divided the Talakan Formation into an upper Vendian and a lower Riphean parts. The name Talakan is left for the Vendian strata, the lower part is divided into three strata of the Baikalian system. The cyclometric stratigraphic scale is based on repetitions of cyclically constructed sections of horizons and their parts. Repetitions are considered as the result of oscillatory movements of the Earth, which take place at different intervals of time. The ranks of movements are planetary (40 Myr), long-period (20 Myr), and regional. In these ranks of time, nexacylites, horizons and regocyclites were formed. The horizons linked the regional and cyclometric stratigraphic scales. Breaks in the sedimentation of the Vendian OGC are divided by duration into short-term separating regocyclites, long-term separating horizons and two breaks – pre-Vendian and pre-Danilovo, the duration of which reaches 10–20 Myr.","PeriodicalId":49587,"journal":{"name":"Russian Geology and Geophysics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135459908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
