Stratigraphic Framework and Timing Constraints of Early Triassic Nanzhang-Yuan'an Fauna
-
摘要:
海生爬行动物在早三叠世生物复苏过程中遍布在古特提斯洋和西泛大洋,南漳‒远安动物群是早三叠世最早的海生爬行动物群落之一.然而,该动物群的具体生存时代以及所赋存的嘉陵江组地层的沉积时代都还不够明确.在湖北南漳‒远安一带针对南漳‒远安动物群赋存地层开展岩石地层和同位素年代学研究.南漳‒远安动物群产于嘉陵江组二段上部的纹层状灰岩中,并获得SHRIMP Ⅱ U-Pb年龄247.8±1.2 Ma.建立了南漳‒远安地区嘉陵江组上部地层对比格架,证明南漳‒远安动物群生存在早三叠世Spathian晚期.
Abstract:The main marine reptiles spread over the eastern Paleotethys and western Panthalassa Ocean during the biotic recovery in the Early Triassic. The Nanzhang-Yuan'an fauna is one of the earliest marine reptiles in the Early Triassic. However, the specific survival time of this fauna and the fossil-bearing Jialingjiang Formation is still not well defined. Here, it conducted litho-stratigraphy and isotopic dating on the Nanzhang-Yuan'an fauna in the Nanzhang-Yuan'an area of Hubei Province. The fauna is documented in the laminated limestone of the upper Jialingjiang Formation, with a SHRIMP Ⅱ U-Pb age of 247.8±1.2 Ma. The stratigraphic framework for the upper part of the Jialingjiang Formation was established, proving that the Nanzhang-Yuan'an fauna lived in the late Spathian stage of the Early Triassic.
