Abstract:
AbstractRelative sea level fluctuations during the Frasnian generated two shallow-marine, mixed siliciclastic-carbonate successions in the Devonian Asturo-Leonese Basin. Each system represents a third-order sequence-stratigraphical unit deposited in the same basin during comparable extreme greenhouse conditions without nearby fluvial entry points. Depositional control on the siliciclastic and carbonate distribution was driven by relative sea level fluctuations, basin geometry, availability of sand and the way sediment was distributed by shelf currents. Early Variscan flexural bending of the continental crust changed the basin shape from a shelf with a gradual profile and low dip (early Frasnian) towards a shelf with a steep depositional dip (late Frasnian). Shelf distribution changed from along-shelf transport (early Frasnian) towards offshore-directed gravity flows (late Frasnian). As a consequence, siliciclastic-carbonate distribution changed from a predominance of skeletal carbonate in the proximal shoreface – foreshore area and siliciclastic predominance distally (early Frasnian), to a distribution pattern with proximal shoreface skeletal carbonates, offshore muddy carbonates and a siliciclastic zone in between where gravity flows distributed the siliciclastic sediment down dip (late Frasnian).

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper presents the facies and depositional environment of the early Miocene Dam Formation, Eastern Arabian platform, Saudi Arabia. Deposition of Dam Formation (Fm.) was considered as a restricted shallow marine deposition. Few studies suggest the role of sea-level change in its deposition but were without decisive substantiation. Here, we describe the facies and high-resolution model of Dam Fm. under varying depositional conditions. The depositional conditions were subjected to changing relative sea level and tectonics. High-resolution outcrop photographs, sedimentological logs, and thin sections present that the mixed carbonate–siliciclastic sequence was affected by a regional tectonics. The lower part of Dam Fm. presents the development of carbonate ramp conditions that are represented by limestones and marl. The depositional conditions fluctuated with the fall of sea level, and uplift in the region pushed the siliciclastic down-dip and covered the whole platform. The subsequent rise in sea level was not as pronounced and thus allowed the deposition of microbial laminites and stromatolitic facies. The southeast outcrops, down-dip, are more carbonate prone as compared to the northwest outcrop, which allowed the deposition of siliciclastic-prone sedimentation up-dip. All facies, architecture, heterogeneity, and deposition were controlled by tectonic events including uplift, subsidence, tilting, and syn-sedimentary faulting, consequently affecting relative sea level. The resulting conceptual outcrop model would help to improve our understanding of mixed carbonate–siliciclastic systems and serve as an analogue for other stratigraphic units in the Arabian plate and region. Our results show that Dam Fm. can be a good target for exploration in the Northern Arabian Gulf.

Abstract:
Mixed siliciclastic-carbonate sediments occur broadly in modern and ancient systems. Studies on mixing processes began in shallow shelf environments; however, the genetic model of marine mixed sediments is difficult to apply to continental rift basins due to the complex palaeogeographic environment. We identified three mixing types in the first and second members of the Palaeogene Shahejie Formation (E2s1–2) in the Qinhuangdao area of the Bohai Sea: (1) mixed fan delta, (2) retrogradation mixed sheet, and (3) mixed sheet without siliciclastic influx. Tectonic stability, arid climate, and saline lakes are prerequisite conditions for the development of mixed sediments, whereas the palaeogeomorphologic unit should be the critical factor. We also concluded that the primary sedimentary material contains near-source coarse terrestrial debris, and the advantageous lithologic facies producing biological components are the foundation for high-quality mixed reservoirs, which are characterized by thick layers and favorable porosities and permeabilities. The micritic coatings and early dolomitization against the background of a saline lake environment favored the preservation of primary pores, whereas the leaching by atmospheric water and organic acid erosion during thermal evolution of the source rock created many secondary pores. In addition, hydrocarbon charging protected the reservoir space from carbonate cementation.

Abstract:
The La Laja Formation is a key unit regarding the hypothesis of the Argentine Precordillera as a Laurentia-derived allochtonous terrane in the south central Andes. Together with the Cerro Totora Formation it comprises the oldest unit exposed at the base of the Lower Paleozoic carbonate platform of the Precordillera. According to previous work these units record the rifting-drifting history of this terrane exotic to Gondwana. The La Laja Formation contrasts with the rest of the overlying units of the Cambro-Ordovician carbonate platform by being partly mixed carbonate-siliciclastic. A detailed facies analysis of the five recognized members in the reference section at Quebrada La Laja (Sierra Chica de Zonda, San Juan Province) allow the recognition of 19 microfacies grouped into four main environmentally significant associations: 1) a storm-influenced, deep subtidal environment with variable influx of fine siliciclastic sediments; 2) shallow subtidal, 3) mixed shallow subtidal and 4) shallow subtidal to intertidal occasionally with well developed high-frequency tidal flat cycles. No deeper basinal or slope facies were found. In contrast, the unit largely records shallow-marine facies with some evidence of subaerial exposure. Medium to coarse, calcareous, feldspar-rich sandstones and sandy limestones characterize the El Estero Member. The base of the Soldano Member shows profuse development of cyclicity with capping oolitic shoals. This member and the upper Juan Pobre Member contain deeper subtidal intervals, below the storm weather wave base, with high percentages of fine terrigenous material represented by shaly marls and nodular limestones. Skeletal-rich and oolite-rich storm beds are recorded within them. Relative shallowing to subaerial environments recorded within the Rivadavia and Las Torres members, with the development of ribbon limestones, intraclastic rudstones, microkarstic surfaces and exposure breccias. Herringbone cross-bedded oolite shoals are common at the top of the uppermost Las Torres Member. The transition into the overlying Zonda Formation is represented by an abrupt rearrangement of the depositional systems and development of meter-scale microbial-rich peritidal cycles. Several orders of superposed cyclicity are recorded within the La Laja Formation. Larger-scale cycles ('Grand Cycles') are inferred from alternating members with important amounts of siliciclastics, whereas meter-scale cycles indicate higher frequency superposed mechanisms. Altogether these show a complex depositional history linking environmental and tectono-eustatic signatures.

Abstract:
Bivalve death assemblages from subtidal environments within the tropical Bocas del Toro embayment of Caribbean Panama permit a test of the extent to which levels of damage are determined by the intrinsic nature of shell supply (proportion of epifaunal species, thick shells, calcitic shells, low-organic microstructures), as opposed to the extrinsic postmortem environment that shells experience. Only damage to interior surfaces of shells was used, to ensure that damage was unambiguously postmortem in origin. We find that facies-level differences in patterns of damage (the rank order importance of postmortem encrustation, boring, edge-rounding, fine-scale surface degradation) are overwhelmingly controlled by environmental conditions: in each environment, all subsets of the death assemblage present the same damage profile. The composition of shell supply affects only the intensity of the taphonomic signature (i.e., percentage of shells affected) only in environments containing hard substrata (patch reefs, Halimeda gravelly sand, mud among patch reefs). In these environments, epifauna, whether aragonitic or calcitic and whether thin or thick, exhibit significantly higher damage than co-occurring infauna, probably due to the initial period of seafloor exposure they typically experience after death. Thick shells (>0.5 mm), regardless of life habit or mineralogy, are damaged more frequently than thin shells, probably because of selective colonization by fouling organisms. Calcitic shells show no consistently greater frequency of damage than aragonitic shells high-organic microstructures yield mixed patterns. Taphofacies surveys in such depositional systems could thus be confidently based on any subset of the fauna, including diagenetically residual assemblages of calcitic shells and thick-shelled molds. Further tests are needed to determine whether the higher levels of damage observed on some subsets of shells are a consequence of greater time-averaging (thus lower temporal resolution), greater exposure time, preferential attack (potential bias in relative abundance), or some combination of these. Paleobiologically, however, the implication is that ecological subsets of bivalve assemblages are not isotaphonomic, either in tangible damage or in probable bias, within hard-substrate environments, although they may be within soft-sediment environments. In actualistic studies, targeting broad classes of taxa for comparison across environments maximizes our ability to extrapolate taphonomic guidelines into the fossil record, where life habits, skeletal types shallow subtidal habitats have dramatically different patterns of abundance and deployment.

Abstract:
Abstract Synrift basin margin successions are greatly influenced by eustatic sea level changes, tectonics and accommodation space filled in by sediments. The Middle Jurassic (Bajocian–Callovian) of Chorar Island (western India) comprises a ~109-m-thick synrift basin margin succession of clastic, non-clastic and mixed siliciclastic-carbonate rocks which are here analysed and categorised into nine lithofacies. The succession is bioturbated to varying intensities; 16 identified ichnogenera can be assigned to environmentally related groups of five trace fossil assemblages, which include Gyrochorte, Hillichnus, Rhizocorallium, Skolithos and Thalassinoides. These ichnoassemblages document the Skolithos and Cruziana Ichnofacies which marks a change in energy conditions, sedimentation dispersal patterns and bathymetry in a shallow-marine environment. The Bajocian–Callovian succession is further analysed on the basis of sedimentological and ichnological data that show two genetic sequences consisting of Transgressive Systems Tract and Highstand Systems Tract bounded by Maximum Flooding Surface. The synrift basin margin succession of the Middle Jurassic of Chorar Island shows cyclicity in deposition; the Bajocian–Bathonian succession represents progradational to retrogradational coastlines, while the Callovian succession documents an aggrading progradational coastline.

Abstract:
This study focuses on the analysis of high-resolution seismic profiles, integrated with sedimentological, echosounder, SRTM and satellite image datasets, of the Brazilian continental shelf adjacent to the Rio Grande do Norte State, NE Brazil. Located in the northeast of Brazil, the State of Rio Grande do Norte is bounded by two main coastal and shelf systems: the eastern coastal-shelf, from the Sagi River to the Touros High, and the northern coastal-shelf, extending from Touros High to Tibau. This shelf represents a modern, highly dynamic mixed carbonate-siliciclastic system characterized by reduced width and shallow depths as compared with other parts of the Brazilian shelf. It has an average width of 40 km, the shelf-break lying at a depth of ~ 60 m. This shelf is subject to the full strength of the westerly South Equatorial current combined with high winds and moderate to high tides and waves. A sharply defined stratigraphic boundary, probably between the Pleistocene and Holocene deposits, is clearly to be observed in the seismic record. Incised-valleys extending from the main river mouths (e.g.the Potengi, Açu, and Apodi) to the shelf break dominate the area investigated and may indicate periods of lower sea level.

Abstract:
AbstractFive areally distinct mineral assemblages are recognized in the Inferior Oolite of S. England. In each area, vertical (stratigraphic) variations are insignificant. The five assemblages comprise varying proportions of illite, illite-smectite, kaolinite, chlorite and kaolinite-smectite, the mixed-layer clays being largely poorly crystalline and randomly interstratified. A predominantly detrital rather than authigenic origin is suggested for most of the clays. Shallow-water platform carbonates contain kaolinite with illite and illite-smectite. Kaolinite decreases in abundance away from former mid-Jurassic land areas, the deeper shelf and more basinal facies being dominated by illite and/or illite-smectite. Possible volcanic contributions to clay suites are suggested but cannot yet be fully evaluated. The palaeogeographic usefulness of clay mineral suites is confirmed, even in carbonate-dominated systems.

Abstract:
L’évolution des systèmes sédimentaires jurassiques (Pliensbachien-Bajocien) dans le secteur de Zaouiat-Ahançal (Haut Atlas, Maroc) est localement influencée par des mouvements diapiriques associés à la ride du Jbel Azourki. Cette structure tectonique complexe suit un tracé en baïonnette d’orientation globale OSO-ENE sur près de 60 kilomètres, ponctué par six affleurements de matériel diapirique triasique. L’objectif de cette thèse est de caractériser l’impact du diapirisme sur la géométrie des dépôts et sur la distribution des faciès au sein de trois systèmes de dépôt successifs : (1) un système carbonaté de plate-forme peu profonde (Formations d’Aganane, de Jbel Choucht et d’Assemsouk) (2) des systèmes de rampe mixte silicoclastique et carbonatée (Formations de Tamadout, d’Amezraï, de Tafraout et d’Aguerd-n-Tazoult), (3) et un système carbonaté oolitique (Formation de Bin-El-Ouidane). Une cartographie détaillée des unités stratigraphiques et des unités de faciès, ainsi qu’une série de quatorze coupes géologiques de la ride diapirique du Jbel Azourki ont ainsi été réalisées. L’étude des interactions entre sédimentation et diapirisme révèle un enregistrement continu de la déformation diapirique sur l’ensemble de la série sédimentaire, et a permis d’établir une chronologie de l’activité diapirique dans le secteur de Zaouiat-Ahançal. L’unité des calcaires inférieurs (1) enregistre une déformation polyphasée marquée par le développement localisé, au sein de la plate-forme, de bassins d’extension kilométrique caractérisés par une sédimentation hémipélagique et gravitaire (rim basins). Ces bassins circonscrits aux diapirs sont limités par des bordures de plate-forme bioconstruites à Lithiotis, de type aggradant ou érosif. À partir du Pliensbachien terminal, les déformations syndiapiriques se manifestent dans les unités mixtes (2), d’une part à l’échelle plurikilométrique avec l’accumulation de plusieurs milliers de mètres de dépôts, contrôlée par la variation latérale du taux de subsidence entre et au sein des compartiments nord et sud de la ride, et d’autre part à l’échelle hectométrique de la bordure du diapir avec des géométries caractéristiques et des variations de faciès (micro plates-formes à oolites et coraux). La ride diapirique perce en surface pendant le dépôt des unités mixtes, puis est recouverte par l’unité transgressive peu déformée des calcaires supérieurs (3) à l’Aalénien terminal. Les paramètres de contrôle de la géométrie des dépôts et de la distribution des faciès autour de la ride diapirique du Jbel Azourki correspondent aux variations locales de subsidence liées aux mouvements de la couche de sel en profondeur, au taux de sédimentation et à leur rapport relatif. Ils s’inscrivent dans un contexte tectonique régional, et climatique global, qui définit l’accommodation générale et le type de remplissage sédimentaire du bassin atlasique. Le type de sédimentation, carbonatée ou mixte, joue un rôle prépondérant dans ces manifestations tectono-sédimentaires
The evolution of the Jurassic sedimentary systems (Pliensbachian-Bajocian) in Zaouiat-Ahançal area (High Atlas, Morocco) is locally controlled by diapiric movements related to the Jbel Azourki ridge. This nearly-60-kilometer-long complex tectonic structure follows an overall WSW-ENE “bayonet-shape” outline, punctuated by six Triassic diapiric outcrops. The aim of this thesis is to characterize the role of diapirism on depositional geometries and facies distribution in three successive sedimentary systems: (1) a shallow-carbonate platform system, (2) mixed siliciclastic- and carbonate-ramp systems and (3) an oolitic-carbonate system. Therefore, a detailed geological map with the stratigraphic and facies units has been realized, as well as a set of fourteen geological sections across the Jbel Azourki diapiric ridge. The analysis of the interactions between sedimentation and diapirism has revealed a continuous recording of diapiric deformation by the entire sedimentary succession, allowing the establishment of a chronology of diapiric activity in the Zaouiat-Ahançal area. The lower-carbonate unit (1) records a polyphase deformation with the development of localized kilometer-scale basins within the platform, characterized by hemipelagic and gravity-flow deposits (rim basins). These basins are confined around the diapirs and bounded by Lithiotis-bioconstructed platform margins, which can be aggradational or erosional. From the late Pliensbachian, the mixed units (2) were affected firstly by syn-diapiric deformations at a pluri-kilometer scale, with the accumulation of several thousand-meter-thick deposits, controlled by lateral variations of the subsidence rate in and between the northern and southern flanks of the ridge, and secondly by syn-diapiric deformations at a hectometer- “diapir-edge” scale, with characteristic geometries and facies variations (oolite- and coral-rich micro platforms). The diapiric ridge reached the surface during the deposition of the mixed units and was finally capped by slightly deformed transgressive upper-carbonate unit (3) in the late Aalenian. The controlling factors on depositional geometries and facies distribution around the Jbel Azourki diapiric ridge are the local variations of the subsidence rate related to salt-movement, the sedimentation rate, and their relative ratio. They are part of the regional tectonic and global climate settings which defined the overall accommodation rate and the sedimentary filling of the atlasic basin. The type of sedimentation, carbonate- or mixed-dominated, played a major role in these tectonic-sedimentary responses

Abstract:
Cette étude porte sur l’analyse des séries jurassiques du Shaqra Group (Toarcian to Kimmeridgian) qui affleurent de manière continue en Arabie centrale le long d’un transect de plus de 1000 km de long. Ces séries se sont accumulées sur une vaste plate-forme épicontinentale peu profonde, en contexte tropical. Ces affleurements permettent ainsi d’observer la partie occidentale des séries renfermant des systèmes pétroliers prolifiques exploités en subsurface en Arabie Saoudite. L’analyse sédimentologique de nombreuses coupes et la réalisation de corrélations stratigraphiques de haute résolution sur un transect de 600 km au sud de Riyad, complété par des corrélations avec les données de forage plus à l’est (entre Riyadh et le Rimthan Arch), permettent de distinguer une organisation séquentielle à différents ordres de fréquence et de reconstituer l’évolution de la plate-forme au sein de ces séquences. La plate-forme jurassique évolue d’une plate-forme horizontale caractérisée par des systèmes mixtes à la transition continental-marin du Toarcien au Callovien moyen (formations Marrat et Dhruma) vers un système de type rampe - bassin intrashelf du Callovien au Kimméridgien inférieur (formations Tuwaiq et Hanifa) pour finir par une plate-forme aggradante carbonatée et silico-clastique (Fm. Jubaila) puis carbonatée et évaporitique en contexte aride (Fm. Arab) au Kimméridgien. Les cycles tectono-stratigraphiques de 2ème ordre du Jurassique inférieur et moyen sont limités à la base et au sommet par des discontinuités régionales. Ils occupent un dépôt-centre stationnaire et décrivent un onlap côtier de grande ampleur avec un maximum transgressif au Callovien moyen (Upper Tuwaiq Mb.). Durant le Jurassique supérieur, les dépôts de rampe carbonatée de la Formation Hanifa passent progressivement vers l’ouest à des dépôts plus profonds de bassin intrashelf relativement riches en matière organique (Khurais - Rimthan Arch). La séquence Jubaila – Arab-D montre des variations d’épaisseur qui indiquent une déformation de grande longueur d’onde de la plate-forme arabe à cette période. Les faciès récifaux du membre Arab D sont interprétés comme représentant le maximum d’inondation de ce cycle qui se termine par le développement de systèmes carbonatés – évaporitiques à la fin du Jurassique
They serve as westernmost reference for adjacent prolific reservoirs and source-rock bearing intrashelf basins. Several hierarchical sequences (second to fourth order) have been recognized in outcrops sections (600 km long south of Riyadh) and correlated with gamma-ray logs of subsurface wells (550 km long from Riyadh to Rimthan Arch). The Jurassic platform evolved from very-flat continental-to-nearshore mixed carbonate-siliciclastic platform (Marrat-Dhruma; Toarcian to Middle Callovian) to differentiated ramp with deep intrashelf basins (Tuwaiq-Hanifa; Callovian to Early Kimmeridgian) to a lowstand followed by flat aggraded platform (Jubaila-Arab-D; Kimmeridgian). Tectonic related siliciclastic influx took place in arid condition during the Kimmeridgian (Jubaila Fm.). The Jurassic platform ends with the mixed carbonate-evaporite systems of the Arab Fm. A first second-order tectono-eustatic cycle (Marrat to Tuwaiq) is bounded at the base and top by regional unconformities. It has a stationary depocenter, and show long-term coastal onlap and marine transgression that reached its maximum extent during the upper Tuwaiq (Middle Callovian). The Hanifa Fm. consists of four 3rd-order sequences aggraded flat-toped platform (outcrops to Khurais) marked at the base by argillaceous limestone and top by pure high-energy carbonates with localized reef buildups. The Jubaila Arab-D is two 3rd-order sequences begin with low-stand deposits followed by long-term transgression. These formed flat successions with lateral thickness variations controlled by differential subsidence increased in the Arabian Basin. The transgression is marked by storm-influenced inner-platform with sandstone quartz, grainstones and restricted lime-mudstone. The Maximum marine transgression is placed in the Arab-D with reef buildups in the westernmost inner-platform. During highstand, the reefs are gently prograding out into Rimthan Arch leaving behind restricted lagoon and sabkhah/salina anhydrite

Abstract:
The Belize margin, in the western Caribbean Sea, and Ashmore Trough, in the western Gulf of Papua, represent modern tropical mixed siliciclastic-carbonate depositional systems where significant masses of both river born terrigenous siliciclastics and neritic/pelagic carbonates accumulate at variables rates over space and time. This study examines variations in sedimentolgic and micropaleontologic parameters relative to late Quaternary sea level, climate, and paleoenvironment. This is accomplished through the evaluation of carbonate and siliciclastic accumulations, as well as planktic foraminiferal populations, of a 37.7 m giant piston core (MD02-2532) acquired from the slope of Gladden Basin adjacent to the Belize Barrier Reef, as well as benthic foraminiferal populations of two shorter (11.3 m) piston cores (MV-74 and MV-07/06) acquired on the slopes of Ashmore Trough, adjacent to the northern most extent of the Great Barrier Reef. Neritic carbonate fluxes to the slopes of Gladden Basin are largely regulated by sea level and consistent with well-established highstand shedding depositional concepts. Over the last ∼850 ka, neritic carbonate production (and export to the adjacent slopes) switches on when sea level floods the neritic carbonate regions and switches off when sea level falls and neritic carbonate regions are exposed. Siliciclastic accumulations are also controlled primarily by eustatic sea level fluctuations, with additional influences from local and regional variations in physiography, climate, and/or ocean currents. Planktic foraminiferal taxa of Gladden Basin are typical of tropical to subtropical populations and display significant variations in their downcore relative abundances, suggesting notable changes in surface water masses and oceanographic parameters over the last ∼630 ka. Temperature and salinity, often associated with glacial or interglacial intervals, appear to predominately influence the planktic foraminiferal populations. In Ashmore Trough, benthic foraminiferal relative abundances and multivariate analyses indicate three distinct assemblages whose proportions change over the last ∼83 ka. These assemblages signify distinct paleoenvironmental settings driven by organic carbon flux and sediment supply, as well as changes in sea level. Analysis of these late Quaternary mixed systems provides better understanding of their preservation in the rock record, particularly relative to sea level and sequence stratigraphic concepts.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Important syn-rift hydrocarbon discoveries in the Tertiary East African Rift and in the South Atlantic subsalt basins have in recent years promoted renewed interest in the variability of source and reservoir rock facies in continental rifts. This talk considers several important new observations and developments in our understanding of the sedimentary evolution of lacustrine rift basins. Offshore subsalt basins in the South Atlantic demonstrate the importance of lacustrine carbonates, and especially microbialites, as reservoir facies in extensional systems. The role of rift-related magmatism is significant in these basins, both as drivers of hydrothermal systems around and within rift lakes, and as a source of solutes that facilitate carbonate accumulations. In the Tertiary East African Rift, substantial new hydrocarbon resources have been identified, including onshore siliciclastic reservoirs in remarkably young and shallow parts of the sedimentary section in the Albertine Graben. Rollover anticlines and fault-related folds serve as important structures for several new fields in the East African Rift, but larger structures affiliated with accommodation zones, in many instances located far offshore in the modern lakes, remain untested. Lacustrine source rocks that accumulated in stratified lake basins are the source of the oil and gas in these systems, however there is still much to be learned about their spatial and temporal variability. There is observed considerable variation in the character of organic matter on the floors of modern African lake basins, even adjacent ones. A number of factors likely govern the amount of total organic carbon preserved within the basins. These include 1) primary productivity; 2) degree of siliciclastic dilution, which is controlled in part by offshore slopes and the extent of onshore catchments, and 3) physical limnology, controlled by climate and basin-scale physiography, and the fetch-depth ratio of the lakes, which determines the likelihood of water column stratification. Scientific drilling in the African Rift lake basins is providing considerable information on the high temporal hydroclimate variability of the region, especially in the later Tertiary and Quaternary, which substantially controls basin lithofacies.
