It has previously been established that tectonic activity influences the evolution of fluviolacustrine sedimentary sequences by affecting the provenance supply, while climate change modifies the sedimentary record through weathering and denudation (Najman, 2006). During the Early Cenozoic, many rifted basins developed in eastern China, while an array of compressional basins formed in western China, mostly due to the India-Eurasia collision and continued convergence (Yin & Harrison, 2000) and/or subduction of the western Pacific Plate (Northrup et al., 1995). Most of these basins are filled with non-marine sediments (Ye et al., 1993) and the documented signals suggest that the environmental evolution has been driven mainly by tectonic activity and/or climate change (Ye et al., 1993).The Qinling-Qilian-Kunlun orogenic system (QQKOS) extends for ∼3,000 km from east to west and formed in response to late Mid-Proterozoic to Cenozoic tectonism (Meng & Zhang, 2000;Peltzer et al., 1985). The QQKOS represents an important tectonic zone in Asia linking the India-Eurasia collision with extensive deformation in eastern China (Meng & Zhang, 2000;Peltzer et al., 1985; Figure 1). Field observations show that the faults of the QQKOS are still active today and may have undergone several tens of kilometers of post-Eocene left-lateral displacement (Peltzer et al., 1985). However, the impact of the India-Eurasia collision on eastern China during the Palaeogene, which represents the critical period of the India-Eurasia collision, has not been determined. On the other hand, a broad belt of aridity stretched across China from west to east during the Palaeogene (X. Sun and Wang, 2005), overlapping spatially with the QQKOS, with only the southern-most and northeastern China being

Deciphering Late Cretaceous palaeo‐river catchments in eastern Australia: Recognition of distinct northern and southern drainage basins

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

During the Early Cretaceous, Australia was flooded by the epicontinental Eromanga Sea, deposits of which occur across the Great Australian Superbasin. However, the mid‐Cretaceous retreat of this shallow sea, and the resultant palaeogeographic and sediment distribution patterns, are poorly understood. This study chronicles the Eromanga Sea's northward regression through the Carpentaria Basin as captured in the sedimentary record of the Normanton Formation. We achieve this by integrating sedimentary facies analysis of cores from across the Carpentaria Basin with palynology, sandstone petrography and U‐Pb detrital zircon geochronology. Results indicate that the Normanton Formation was deposited between ca. 100 and 96 Ma, and that it represents a large, northward‐prograding, likely river‐dominated delta system. The unit's volcanoclastic nature is exhibited through abundant lithic volcanics and devitrified glass, with a prominent, near‐depositional detrital zircon population attributed to a proximal continental magmatic arc‐derived source hypothesised to parallel the eastern seaboard of Australia at this time. The Normanton Formation is temporally correlative with the lower‐middle portions of the similarly volcanoclastic Winton Formation in the Eromanga Basin, which drained southwards into the Cenomanian‐Santonian Ceduna River Delta system. However, Normanton Formation strata display subtly different provenance signatures and drainage patterns, indicating input from similar, but likely more northern source terrains than much of the contemporaneous Winton Formation. These sediments were unlikely recycled southwards into the Ceduna Delta like those of the Winton Formation; rather they drained northward following the retreat of the Eromanga Sea through the Carpentaria Basin, indicating a Cretaceous drainage divide between two river systems, with distinct northern and southern drainage catchments. The mid‐Cretaceous palaeogeography of eastern Australia is analogous to that of the Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway of North America, in which the retreat of a shallow epicontinental sea is marked by the rapid deposition and progradation of multiple large, geographically distinct clastic wedges.

The quantitative evaluation of fault sealing during the Cenozoic in Gaoyou Depression, Subei Basin

The quantitative evaluation of fault sealing is conducted based on comprehensive analysis of mechanism and type analysis of fault seal, fault seal evaluation, and case study analysis. The results indicate that the properties of fault sealing are the interaction of fault order, net-to-gross ratio, fault activity, mud distribution on fault walls, fault dip, and buried depth. In addition, there are three types of fault sealing, including juxtaposition seal, fault rock seal, and cementation seal. Furthermore, the opening and closing of faults play an essential role in controlling hydrocarbon migration and accumulation. Finally, the fault sealing plays a controlling role in reservoir preservation.
