Controls of paleogeomorphology on organic matter accumulation as recorded in Ordovician–Silurian marine black shales in the western South China Block
The Ordovician–Silurian transition represents a critical period marked by the formation of marine shale gas horizons within the South China Block. However, the mechanism for organic matter enrichment of Paleozoic marine shales in the western South China Block remain contentious, primarily due to insufficient understanding of paleogeomorphological evolution. In this paper, we describe the sedimentology of the Ordovician-Silurian succession composed of the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation in the western South China Block and report new paleontological, and geochemical data for this succession to explore the relationship between basin paleogeomorphology and water mass environment. Nine graptolite zones are identified, spanning from the WF1 (Linxiang Formation) through WF2–WF4 (Wufeng Formation) to LM1–LM5 (Longmaxi Formation) in this well. Based on sedimentological and geochemical analyse results, three distinct stages of redox and paleoproductivity conditions in the water mass have been identified: (1) suboxic environments and low paleoproductivity in WF2–WF4; (2) euxinic and stagnant water conditions in LM1–LM3 accompanying with high paleoproductivity; and (3) anoxic water and low paleoproductivity in LM4–LM5. By integrating marine redox fluctuation, paleoproductivity conditions and regional hiatus (LM1-LM3) observed across multiple successions, we interpret thatthe western margin of the South China Block have been significantly affected by a collision between the South China Block and Yanbian terrane. The results of this study indicate that the accumulation of organic matter in the western margin of the South China Block was predominantly controlled by paleogeomorphology being caused by this collision event.
期刊介绍:
Marine and Petroleum Geology is the pre-eminent international forum for the exchange of multidisciplinary concepts, interpretations and techniques for all concerned with marine and petroleum geology in industry, government and academia. Rapid bimonthly publication allows early communications of papers or short communications to the geoscience community.
Marine and Petroleum Geology is essential reading for geologists, geophysicists and explorationists in industry, government and academia working in the following areas: marine geology; basin analysis and evaluation; organic geochemistry; reserve/resource estimation; seismic stratigraphy; thermal models of basic evolution; sedimentary geology; continental margins; geophysical interpretation; structural geology/tectonics; formation evaluation techniques; well logging.
