Characteristics of Early Cretaceous wildfires in peat-forming environment, NE China

Abstract: Inertinite maceral compositions in coals from the Early Cretaceous Erlian, Hailar, and Sanjiang Basins in NE China are analyzed in order to reveal palaeowildfire events and palaeoclimate variations. Although huminite is the dominant maceral group in the studied basins, the inertinite group, as a byproduct of palaeowildfires, makes up a considerable proportion. Occurrence of inertinite macerals indicates that wildfires were widespread and frequent, and supports the opinion that the Early Cretaceous was a "high-… Show more

“…Charcoal particles potentially indicative of wildfire activity have been reported from strata of Aptian age (Brown et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2019), although not from the Selli Level Equivalent specifically, or in any of the nine sites studied here and by . Thus, there is no positive evidence that the widespread Hg influxes were the result of wildfires, although such a source cannot be completely ruled out.…”

“…The distribution has several defining characteristics. First, dull coal is concentrated at the coal top and coal bottom, perhaps due to peat marsh exposure and increased amounts of pyrofusinite with enhanced fusainization . Second, we found a genetic relationship between each sublayer in the vertical direction.…”

“…First, dull coal is concentrated at the coal top and coal bottom, perhaps due to peat marsh exposure and increased amounts of pyrofusinite with enhanced fusainization. 34 Second, we found a genetic relationship between each sublayer in the vertical direction. The vertical distribution in the four wells including 0403, 0404, 1401, and 4002 shows that the proportion of one coal macrolithotype cross is approximately 30%.…”
