A Floating Astronomical Time Scale for the Early Late Cretaceous Continental Strata in the Songliao Basin, Northeastern China

Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition (2020)

Xiaojuan Ma Huaichun Wu Qiang Fang Meinan Shi Shihong Zhang

Abstract A continuous terrestrial succession was recovered from the Songke‐2 (SK‐2) borehole in the Songliao Basin, Northeastern China. This borehole provides a unique material for further research on the continental paleoclimate during Cretaceous greenhouse period, following a series of achievements of the Songke‐1 (SK‐1) core. In this study, thorium (Th) logging data were chosen as a paleoclimate proxy to conduct a detailed cyclostratigraphic analysis. The Th series varies quasi‐periodically; power spectra and evolutionary fast Fourier transformation (FFT) analysis reveal significant cycles in the Quantou (K 2 q ), Qingshankou (K 2 qn ), Yaojia (Ky and Nenjiang (K 2 n ) formations. The ratio of cycle wavelengths in these stratigraphic units is approximately 20:5:2:1, corresponding to long orbital eccentricity (405 kyr), short orbital eccentricity (100 kyr), obliquity (37 kyr), and precession cycles (22.5 kyr and 18.4 kyr). The durations of the K 2 n , K 2 y , K 2 qn and K 2 q are estimated as 6.97, 1.83, 5.30 and 4.52 Myr, respectively, based on the constructed ∼18.62 Myr “floating” astronomical time scale (ATS). Comparison of the durations between the SK‐1 s and SK‐2 boreholes exhibits a slight difference of 0.06 Myr and 0.459 Myr for K 2 qn and K 2 y . Nevertheless, our ATS of K 2 n supports the chronostratigraphic frame constructed by the CA‐ID‐TIMS data of the SK‐1s borehole. This new “floating” ATS provides precise numerical ages for stratigraphic boundaries, biozones and geological events in the Songliao Basin, and can serve as a basis for correlation of strata and events between marine and terrestrial systems.

Reliability of Relative Paleointensity Recorded in Chinese Loess–Paleosol Sediments

Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition (2012)

Tianshui Yang Haiyan Li Huaichun Wu Zhenyu Yang Shihong Zhang

Abstract A detailed paleomagnetic and rock‐magnetic investigation spanning loess L7 to paleosol S8 has been carried out at the Baoji and Xifeng sections. Results of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility confirm that the studied loess–paleosol sediments retain primary sedimentary fabrics. Stepwise thermal demagnetization shows that two well‐defined magnetization components can be isolated from both loess and paleosol specimens. A low‐temperature component, isolated between 100°C and 200°C, is consistent with the present geomagnetic field direction, and a high‐temperature component, isolated between 200–300°C and 620–680°C, includes clearly normal and reversed polarities. Isothermal remanent magnetization and thermomagnetic analyses indicate that characteristic remanent magnetization is mainly carried by magnetite and hematite. The Day plot, together with the stratigraphic variations of rock‐magnetic parameters, shows that the uniformity of magnetic mineralogy and grain size fulfills the criteria for relative paleointensity (RPI) studies. RPI records have been constructed using natural remanent magnetization (NRM) intensity after thermal demagnetization at 300°C normalized by low‐frequency magnetic susceptibility (NRM 300 /χ). The results show that the RPI record from the Baoji section, where pedogenesis is quite weak, is compatible with the stacked PISO‐1500 paleointensity record, suggesting that it might reflect the paleointensity variation of the geomagnetic field. The RPI record from the Xifeng section, where pedogenesis is rather strong, indicates a clear dissimilarity with the stacked PISO‐1500 paleointensity record, implying that it does not reflect the paleointensity variation of the geomagnetic field. Our new results show that the NRM 300 /χ from the strongly pedogenetic paleosols does not completely eliminate the pedogenetic (climatic) influence, so it might be unsuitable for a reliable paleointensity study.

Paleomagnetic insights into the Cambrian biogeographic conundrum: Did the North China craton link Laurentia and East Gondwana?

Geology (2020)

Hanqing Zhao Shihong Zhang Maoyan Zhu Jikai Ding Haiyan Li

Abstract Redlichiid trilobite and small shelly fossils indicate strong ties of the North China craton (NCC) to Gondwana during the early Cambrian, while recent discoveries of the characteristic fossils of Laurentia in Wuliuan shales in the eastern NCC imply its possible connection with Laurentia during the middle Cambrian. Here we report a new paleomagnetic pole at 31.8°S, 140.4°E (radius of 95% confidence cone of paleomagnetic pole, A95, = 5.3°), obtained from the Wuliuan (ca. 505 Ma) Hsuchuang Formation, by averaging our new data and existing virtual geomagnetic poles acquired from different parts of the NCC. A positive regional tilt test and the presence of geomagnetic reversals demonstrate that the remanence was primary. The paleomagnetic data permit placing the NCC near 20°N between Laurentia and Australia at ca. 505 Ma, suggesting that the NCC may have played the role of biogeographic link between East Gondwana and Laurentia in the middle Cambrian. Low-latitudinal westward ocean currents may have facilitated faunal migrations from Laurentia to East Gondwanan blocks via the NCC as well as the newly formed tectono-paleogeographic archipelago, which likely further enhanced biological exchange in the late Cambrian.

Continental geological evidence for Solar System chaotic behavior in the Late Cretaceous

Geological Society of America Bulletin (2022)

Huaichun Wu Linda A. Hinnov Shihong Zhang Ganqing Jiang Tianshui Yang

Abstract The Earth’s geologic record of Milankovitch cycles closely tracks Solar System solutions for the past 50 million years. Prior to 50 million years ago (Ma), however, the solutions lose accuracy rapidly due to chaotic behavior of the Solar System. Here we reconstruct a 10.173 million year-long record from 82.358 Ma to 92.531 Ma of Earth’s orbital parameters from a continental lacustrine sequence in the Songliao Basin, China, constrained by four in situ high-resolution radioisotopic U-Pb ages and magnetic reversal stratigraphy. Analysis of thorium and ostracode shell abundance records from the Songliao Basin reveal evidence for two chaotic secular resonance transitions in the orbital motions of Earth and Mars from 85.2 Ma to 91.55 Ma. The evidence validates similar observations in western North American marine stratigraphy. A unique phasing between the observed orbital eccentricity and obliquity modulations may explain the anoxic events that occurred in both marine and continental environments during this time. Taken together, the continental and marine stratigraphic evidence demonstrates a strong global reach of Late Cretaceous Milankovitch cycles, and provides an important constraint on Solar System chaoticity and the calculation of accurate orbital solutions prior to 50 Ma.

New Early Permian Paleomagnetic and Geochronological Data From the Xilinhot–Songliao Block and Their Implications for the Relationship Between the Paleo‐Asian Ocean and the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters (2022)

Qiang Ren Shihong Zhang Mingcai Hou Huaichun Wu Tianshui Yang

Abstract The paleogeographic position of the Xilinhot–Songliao Block (XSB) is crucial to understand the spatiotemporal relationship between the Paleo‐Asian Ocean (PAO) and East Paleo‐Tethys Ocean (EPTO) tectonic domains. However, the lack of robust early Permian paleomagnetic data in the XSB has led to uncertainty in its paleogeographic position. Here, we report a well‐dated (286.1–281.25 Ma) paleomagnetic pole (38.4°N/17.6°E, A 95 = 4.0°) from andesites of the Dashizhai Formation in the XSB. We combined our paleomagnetic data with available geological and paleontological data to reconstruct the paleogeographic relationship between the PAO and EPTO. The XSB was located on the northern margin of the EPTO at ∼285 Ma, suggesting that the northern boundary of the EPTO tectonic domain extended to the southern margin of the XSB, the Hegenshan Ocean (between the XSB and the Mongolia Block) corresponds to the eastern PAO, and the XSB separated the eastern PAO and EPTO at ∼285 Ma.
