Abstract

The article provides an overview of various indexes/indicators (Vogt, Parker, CIA, CIW, PIA, MIA, and others) used for studying weathering profiles/crusts and reconstructing paleoclimatic environments of sedimentary sequence accumulation. Their possibilities are demonstrated with Vendian–Lower Cambrian terrigenous rocks of Podolian Transnistria (southwestern slope of the Ukrainian Shield) as example. Distribution of index ba1 values in this section indicates the presence of material subjected to intense transformation during the chemical weathering in mudstones of the Nagoryany Formation, the lower part of the Danilovka and the middle part of the Studenitsa formations. For mudstones of the Danilovka–Zbruch interval, the HM values are close to the HMPAAS. The HM values are slightly higher for rocks of the Yaryshev–Nagoryany interval and comparable to those inherent in hot tropical continental clays for mudstones in the lower part of the Yaryshev Formation. Average value of index SA for mudstones of the entire section is 5.6 ± 0.7. Mudstones of the Grushka–Nagoryany interval, where SA < SAPAAS, are composed of a more weathered material. The WIP values in mudstones of the Mogilev and Yaryshev formations, as well as in the upper part of the Zbruch Formation, correspond to the interval of their values between the PAAS and average Archean granite. Clay rocks of other formations have WIP ≤ WIPPAAS. Average CIA value (71 ± 4) for mudstones virtually corresponds to the CIA value (70), which separates the sediments of cold/arid and warm/humid climates. Variations in the index CIW value along the section are oriented similarly as CIA variation. The vast majority of mudstones are characterized by PIA > PIAPAAS. The average CPA value is 91 ± 4, which is also typical for PAAS. These and other data suggest the following point: based on a “direct” interpretation of the values of various chemical weathering indexes inherent in the fine-grained clastic rocks, paleoclimate in Podolian Transnistria was rather moderate or warm humid in the Vendian‒Early Cambrian. Comparison of the CIA values of mudstones with the values for the particulate suspended matter in modern rivers suggests that the Vendian‒Early Cambrian climate resembled the dry and humid subtropical or dry tropical type with elements of the humid climate.

化学风化指标对古气候重建的意义——以波多利亚河德涅斯特河文第—下寒武统剖面为例
本文综述了用于研究风化剖面/壳、重建沉积层序聚集古气候环境的各种指标/指标(Vogt、Parker、CIA、CIW、PIA、MIA等)。以乌克兰地盾西南坡波多利亚德涅斯特河沿岸的文第—下寒武统陆源岩石为例,证明了这种可能性。该剖面ba1指数的分布表明,在Nagoryany组、Danilovka组下部和Studenitsa组中部的泥岩中存在化学风化过程中发生强烈转化的物质。对于Danilovka-Zbruch段泥岩,HM值与HMPAAS值接近。亚里舍夫—纳格里亚尼段岩石的HM值略高,与亚里舍夫组下部泥岩的热带大陆粘土固有HM值相当。整个剖面泥岩的SA指数平均值为5.6±0.7。Grushka-Nagoryany段泥岩,其中SA <SAPAAS是由更风化的材料组成的。Mogilev组和Yaryshev组以及Zbruch组上部泥岩的WIP值与PAAS和平均太古宙花岗岩之间的区间相对应。其他地层粘土岩的WIP≤WIPPAAS。泥岩的平均CIA值(71±4)与CIA值(70)基本一致,区分了冷/干旱和暖/湿润气候的沉积物。指数CIW值沿剖面的变化方向与CIA变化方向相似。绝大多数泥岩具有PIA >PIAPAAS。平均CPA值为91±4,这也是典型的PAAS。通过对细粒碎屑岩中各种化学风化指标的“直接”解释,可以得出文德—早寒武纪波多利亚德涅斯特河沿岸的古气候较为温和或温暖湿润。泥岩的CIA值与现代河流中颗粒悬浮物的CIA值的比较表明,文第—早寒武世气候类似于干燥湿润的亚热带或干燥的热带气候,具有湿润气候的要素。

期刊介绍: Lithology and Mineral Resources is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes articles on a wide range of problems related to the formation of sedimentary rocks and ores. Special attention is given to comparison of ancient sedimentary rock and ore formation with present-day processes. The major part of the journal is devoted to comparative analysis of sedimentary processes on the continents and in oceans, as well as the genetic aspects of the formation of sedimentary and hydrothermal–sedimentary mineral resources. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
