High-resolution carbon-isotope stratigraphy of the Cambrian Series 2–Miaolingian Series in Upper Yangtze Platform, South China: Implications for global correlation
The Redlichiid-Olenellid extinction carbon-isotope excursion (ROECE) and Drumian carbon-isotope excursion (DICE) represent two pronounced negative C-isotope excursion events in the lower to middle Cambrian and have been proposed as key chemostratigraphic markers for identifying the Cambrian Stage 4–Wuliuian Stage boundary and the base of the Drumian Stage, respectively. However, the precise local and global correlations of the ROECE and DICE remain unsolved, and the heterogeneity of their magnitudes is controversial. In the current study, we report a new high-resolution δ13Ccarb profile from the Zhangfeiqian (ZFQ), Shiliu (SL), and Qiliao (QL) sections in the Upper Yangtze Platform (South China) that spans the Cambrian Stage 4-Jiangshanian Stage. The investigated Shilongdong, Gaotai, and Xixiangchi formations are dominated by lime mudstone and dolomicrite, occasionally alternating with thinly-bedded mudstone or sandy dolomite interbeds. The preservation of the investigated carbonates was meticulously evaluated by multi-screening petrographic and geochemical techniques. The δ13Ccarb values (−0.5 ± 1.2 ‰ VPDB) exhibit an insignificant correlation with their δ18Ocarb (−8.8 ± 1.6 ‰ VPDB, R2 = 0.01) and Mn/Sr ratios (R2 = 0.18), which supports the preservation of at least near-primary δ13C signatures that can be utilized to construct a reliable high-resolution δ13C profile for global correlations. The δ13Ccarb profile shows two main negative excursions, the lower excursion (∼ 6.0 ‰) almost at the middle part of the Gaotai Formation and the upper excursion (∼ 3.2 ‰) at the lower part of the Xixiangchi Formation. The trilobite biozonation scheme supports the correlation of the lower excursion with the ROECE and the upper excursion with the DICE events, which have been globally documented on different paleocontinents. Combined with previous studies, we provide a continuous high-resolution δ13Ccarb profile of the Cambrian in the Yangtze Platform for global chemostratigraphic correlations.
