Magnetic fabrics in fault-related fold and its relation with finite strain: an example from Mingjiang thrust structures in Western Sichuan

The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) is a quick, effective and sensitive technique used to measure the weakly deformed sedimentary rocks, and also a reliable method to reveal the deforming mechanisms of fault-related folds. In Longmenshan front belt, a typical cross-section of fault-related folds is chosen to study the AMS. A total of 224 oriented specimens have been drilled at 23 different sampling sites which were distributed at the key structural positions of this structural section developed in the Xujiahe formation of the upper Triassic. Six elementary types of magnetic fabrics are recognized and established through this AMS study: Da sedimentary fabric; 2) an initial deformation fabric; 3) a pencil structure fabric; 4) a weak cleavage fabric; 5) a strong cleavage fabric; 6) a stretching lineation fabric. It has been found that most of magnetic fabrics are characterized by fabrics of weak deformation which belong to the pure-shear results of a pre-folding layer parallel shortening (LPS). In the fault-bend fold, almost all magnetic fabrics are the initial deformation fabrics of weak deformation, and denote that the deformation in the forelimb is stronger than that in the backlimb and no finite strain is shown in the footwall. While in the fault-propagation fold, finite strains are concentrated in the trishear zone where magnetic fabric results are approximately consistent with the estimated consequences of the kinematic model. The tectonic stress field indicated by the magnetic fabrics is basically the same along the whole structural section and shows a NW to SE compression and shortening which is accordant with the regional compressive stress field of the Longmenshan fold-thrust belt.     

页岩气成藏体系研究——以四川盆地及其周缘下寒武统为例

页岩气是非常规天然气藏的一种,属于"单源一位"成藏体系,在成藏特征上不同于常规油气,集烃源体、输导体和圈闭体等所有关键的成藏体系各要素于同一套页岩层.在成藏体系的划分上,页岩气藏不同于常规成藏体系的划分.综合考虑页岩层系发育时代、沉积特征、演化历史、所处现今大地构造位置、构造特征、页岩残留状况、分布特点、埋深和含气量等因素,提出了页岩气成藏体系划分的一般性原则.将四川盆地及其周缘下寒武统页岩气成藏体系划分为川南—川东南、黔北—黔中、渝东、湘鄂西、龙门山、米仓山—大巴山和川中7个成藏体系,并按战略展开区、战略突破区、战略准备区和战略远景区4个层次对成藏体系进行了评价,明确了勘探层次.
