Traditional stratigraphy mainly involves strata formed under gravity mechanism, plus a few kinds of bedded volcanic rocks such as lava, pyroclastic rock and volcanic ash, as well as metamorphic sedimentary and volcano-sedimentary rocks. These traditional strata are regarded as Smithian strata in this paper. In modern stratigraphy, mechanism of strata formation includes not only gravity but also thermal (ophiolite), mechanic and tectonic forces (orogenic mélange and tectonite). In these above-mentioned non-gravitative conditions, the strata, formed complying with their own mechanisms but not with the law of superposition of Smithian stratigraphy, are called non-Smithian strata here. In mélange regions from orogenic belt, formations of non-Smithian strata could be classified into subduct-scrape-match, subduct-return-match, and subduct- overthrust types.展开更多

Based on the studies on the Lower Triassic of Chaohu, （1） a continuous conodont zonation is established, which has become an important reference for Lower Triassic stratigraphic correlation over the world; （2） the First Appearance Datum of conodont Neospathodus waageni was suggested and has been basically accepted as the primary marker to define the InduanOienekian boundary; （3） a characteristic Lower Triassic excursion of carbon isotopes was brought to light and has been proven to be not only an excellent index for the stratigraphic correlation but also a unique indication for the perturbation of ecological environments in the aftermath of the end-Permian mass extinction; （4） a magnetostratigraphic sequence is constituted with a certain biostratigraphic control in the low-latitude region and it presents an important correlation to the Boreal sequence; （5） a cyclostratigraphic study provides an alternative method to constrain the age of the chronostratigraphic units; and （6） a scheme of the Olenekian subdivision is recently suggested to define the boundary between the Smithian and Spathian Substages. In addition, Chaohu is also the type locality of the Chaohuan Stage, the upper stage of the Lower Triassic in the China Chronostratigraphic System.Thus, the Lower Triassic of Chaohu is not only a classic sequence in South China, but also a key reference sequence to the investigation of the corresponding stratigraphy and geological events over the world. The recent achievements are viewed here for an overall understanding of the sequence. Then the current situation of the Induan-Olenekian and Smithian-Spathian boundaries is discussed to provide a reference for later works.展开更多

Also it is an important section that defines the Smithian-Spathian (S-S) boundary within the Olenekian Stage. The S-S boundary strata at the section are restudied in high-resolution conodont biostratigraphy and carbon isotopes. The refined S-S boundary defined by the FAD of conodont Neospathodus pingdingshanensis is at 30 cm above the base of Bed 52, corresponding to a rapid diversification of conodonts. A sharp positive shift of δ13Ccarb curve co-occurs at the S-S boundary and it can be used as a key reference to define the boundary. The defined S-S boundary position and carbon isotopes curve can be well correlated globally.展开更多

Geochemical records linked to the variations in marine ecosystems during this period have attracted the interest of geologists for many years. Based on petrographic analysis of samples and evaluations of their reliability as proxies for original seawater, this study investigated the carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of 350 carbonate rock samples from the Lower Triassic （and adjacent strata） in the southern Longmenxia section of Guang＇an, eastern Sichuan Basin. The results indicate that the Triassic carbonate rocks from the southern Longmenxia section favorably preserved the original seawater＇s δ13C signal. Furthermore, carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions are found to be poorly correlated, with a determination coefficient as low as 0.0205 and only 44 rock samples show results of Mn/Sr〉2 and/or 6180〈-6.5%0. The complete carbon isotopic curve for the Lower Triassic is established using the data from the remaining 306 samples with MrdSr〈2 and/or 6180〉-6.5%o. This curve presents favorable comparability on a global scale, specifically in the δ13C minima near the Permian-Triassic boundary, at the top of the Jial and within the the Jia3, as well as in the δ13C maxima at the tops of the Yel and Ye4, at the base of the Jia2 and at the top of the Ye3. The peaks and troughs corresponding to these maxima and minima all reflect global signals. By comparing these results to previous research on coeval carbon isotopic curves established within the chronostratigraphic framework, the ages of these critical evolution points are determined. The results show that the Yel roughly corresponds to the Griesbachian substage; the Ye2 through Ye4 correspond to the Dienerian substage; Jial corresponds to the Smithian substage; from the Jia2 to the lower part of the Jia4 correspond to the Spathian substage; and the middle and upper parts of the Jia4 belongs to the Aegean Substage of the Middle 展开更多
