Abstract

Geoheritage aims to protect and preserve the geological sites having inimitable geological, scientific, and educational significance. India is bestowed with excellent geological structures, geomorphic features, and rock types varying in age from Archaean to Holocene. Permian Panjal traps (North-west of India) present a first-class hope to understand the multifarious transport of magma from mantle to crust, petrochemical growth of igneous rocks, and the development of ore deposits related to magmatic activity (such as Fe–Ti–V, Cr, Ni-Cu-PGE). These volcanic rocks are important in understanding the evolution of Neotethys ocean. Panjal traps (for being the largest part of the Himalayan Permian magmatic region) would be helpful in understanding the petrogenesis of the Himalayan Permian mafic and silicic magmatic rocks which is debatable at global level. The present study aims to propose the pillow basalts of Panjal traps exposed at Guryul Ravine, Kashmir, as a Geoheritage site. On the bases of length of major axis, studied pillows are grouped into normal class (having < 100-cm length of major axis) and mega class (having > 1 m length of major axis). The formation of undersized pillows having flat surfaces and continuous chilled crusts has been attributed with uniform and restricted stretching of the outer crust. The studied pillows show different shapes like spherical, oval and elongated to irregular and have radial joint patterns which have been filled at later stages by secondary minerals such as calcite and chlorite. Spaces between / among adjacent pillows are occupied by cements of hydrothermal origin and secondary minerals (like chlorite, calcite, and hyaloclastite breccias). The preservation of these pillow basalts of Panjal traps would be highly beneficial to support the evidence of magma eruption under marine environment, magma–water interaction studies, petrological evolution of Panjal traps, and sights related to tectonic setting of the area during the Permo-carboniferous period. Hence, these pillow basalts, in the vicinity of Permian–Triassic boundary section, at Guryul Ravine, form the potential area to be promoted as geo-heritage site.

印度克什米尔 Guryul Ravine 的二叠纪早期 Panjal 陷阱枕状玄武岩:地质遗产遗址
摘要 地质遗产旨在保护和保存具有独特地质、科学和教育意义的地质遗迹。印度拥有卓越的地质结构、地貌特征和岩石类型,其年代从太古宙到全新世不等。二叠纪潘贾尔陷阱(印度西北部)为了解岩浆从地幔到地壳的各种迁移、火成岩的石化生长以及与岩浆活动有关的矿床(如铁-钛-钒、铬、镍-铜-地质金属矿)的发展提供了一流的希望。这些火山岩对于了解新特提斯大洋的演变十分重要。潘贾尔陷阱(喜马拉雅二叠纪岩浆区的最大部分)将有助于了解喜马拉雅二叠纪岩浆岩和硅质岩浆岩的岩石成因,这在全球范围内尚存争议。本研究旨在提议将克什米尔 Guryul Ravine 出露的 Panjal 陷坑枕状玄武岩作为地质遗迹。根据主轴长度,所研究的岩枕被分为普通级(主轴长度为 100 厘米)和巨型级(主轴长度为 1 米)。尺寸不足的枕头表面平坦,具有连续的冷壳,其形成归因于外壳均匀而有限的拉伸。所研究的岩枕显示出不同的形状,如球形、椭圆形、拉长形到不规则形,并具有径向节理,这些节理在后期被方解石和绿泥石等次生矿物填充。相邻岩枕之间的空隙被热液成因的胶结物和次生矿物(如绿泥石、方解石和透明闪长岩角砾岩)占据。潘贾尔陷阱的这些枕状玄武岩的保存将非常有利于支持海洋环境下岩浆喷发的证据、岩浆与水相互作用的研究、潘贾尔陷阱的岩石学演变以及与二叠纪时期该地区构造环境有关的研究。因此,这些枕状玄武岩位于 Guryul Ravine 的二叠纪-三叠纪边界断面附近,是可作为地质遗产遗址推广的潜在区域。

期刊介绍: The Geoheritage journal is an international journal dedicated to discussing all aspects of our global geoheritage, both in situ and portable. The journal will invite all contributions on the conservation of sites and materials - use, protection and practical heritage management - as well as its interpretation through education, training and tourism. The journal wishes to cover all aspects of geoheritage and its protection. Key topics are: - Identification, characterisation, quantification and management of geoheritage; - Geodiversity and geosites; - On-site science, geological and geomorphological research: - Global scientific heritage - key scientific geosites, GSSPs, stratotype conservation and management; - Scientific research and education, and the promotion of the geosciences thereby; - Conventions, statute and legal instruments, national and international; - Integration of biodiversity and geodiversity in nature conservation and land-use policies; - Geological heritage and Environmental Impact Assessment studies; - Geological heritage, sustainable development, community action, practical initiatives and tourism; - Geoparks: creation, management and outputs; - Conservation in the natural world, Man-made and natural impacts, climate change; - Geotourism definitions, methodologies, and case studies; - International mechanisms for conservation and popularisation - World Heritage Sites, National Parks etc.; - Materials, data and people important in the history of science, museums, collections and all portable geoheritage; - Education and training of geoheritage specialists; - Pedagogical use of geological heritage - publications, teaching media, trails, centres, on-site museums; - Linking the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005- 2014) with geoconservation.
