The principles of chronostratigraphy can inform the process of correlation between different palaeoclimate records, enabling the coherence of spatial and temporal patterns of past climates and environments to be identified based on the physical, chemical, biological and isotopic properties of individual depositional units. This study presents a chronostratigraphic framework for the late Quaternary of southern Africa, based on the integration of palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental proxy data from key records across the country from the start of Marine Isotope Stage 6 (~191 ka BP) to present. The methodology adopted in this study involves, first, wiggle-matching between sufficiently long and continuous records from different regions across southern Africa, informed by radiometric age controls from individual records. Based on interpretive limitations of these records, we then integrate different geomorphic and archaeological data types in proposing successive chronostratigraphic time periods that collectively extend through the late Quaternary of southern Africa. These time periods correspond to phases in which, within them, a certain set of (relative) stable climates or environments existed in different regions of southern Africa, as recorded in different ways in different proxy records. The boundaries between successive time periods are identified where there is evidence for a significant change in the workings of the climate or environmental system as reflected in the preserved proxy record found in a certain locality. These chronostratigraphic units are interpreted as reflecting the impacts of external forcing that is of regional extent, synchronous, and are not merely an outcome of local environmental variability. These chronostratigraphic phases identified for the late Quaternary period also correspond to distinctive technological and cultural phases in the southern African archaeological record, demonstrating links between coeval climate and environmental change and phases of human evolutionary development. This chronostratigraphic approach provides both a correlative framework for understanding the varied late Quaternary records of southern Africa, and a testable hypothesis for considering the synchroneity or otherwise of different records and thus their associated forcing factors.
时间地层学原理可以为不同古气候记录之间的对比过程提供信息,从而能够根据单个沉积单元的物理、化学、生物和同位素特性来确定过去气候和环境的空间和时间模式的一致性。本研究基于从海洋同位素第6阶段(~191 ka BP)开始至今全国主要记录的古气候和古环境代用数据,提出了南部非洲晚第四纪的年代地层框架。这项研究中采用的方法首先涉及来自南部非洲不同地区的足够长和连续的记录之间的摆动匹配,这是由单个记录的辐射年龄控制决定的。基于这些记录的解释限制,我们整合了不同的地貌和考古数据类型,提出了连续的年代地层时间段,这些时间段共同延伸到非洲南部第四纪晚期。这些时间段对应于南部非洲不同地区存在某种(相对)稳定气候或环境的阶段,这些阶段以不同的方式记录在不同的代理记录中。连续时间段之间的边界是在有证据表明气候或环境系统的工作发生重大变化的情况下确定的,这反映在某个地区发现的保存的代理记录中。这些年代地层单位被解释为反映了区域性、同步的外力影响,而不仅仅是当地环境变化的结果。这些第四纪晚期的年代地层阶段也与南部非洲考古记录中独特的技术和文化阶段相对应,表明了同时代气候和环境变化与人类进化发展阶段之间的联系。这种年代地层学方法为理解南部非洲晚第四纪的各种记录提供了一个相关的框架,也为考虑不同记录的同步性或其他方面及其相关的强迫因素提供了一种可检验的假设。

Coastal sand dune sediments with associated intraformational aeolianite, palaeosols and beachrock are found throughout much of the southern African coast, and have important roles as both Quaternary environmental archives and in recording the interplay of sediment supply, coastal processes and sea-level change. This paper examines the stratigraphy and palaeoenvironmental significance of coastal sand dunes and associated sediments, using examples mainly from South Africa but also with reference to the sandy coasts of Namibia and southern Mozambique. Based on morphological, sedimentary and dating evidence reported in the diverse literature, the stratigraphic relationship of coastal sand dune sediments to Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) is summarized, and a chronostratigraphic diagram for the period MIS 6 to 1 along the South African coast is used to identify spatially coherent sedimentary units that correspond to different regional climatic and sea-level phases. This framework provides a stratigraphic context to better examine the relationship between coastal sand dunes and external forcing during the late Quaternary in southern Africa, and to guide future field studies.

Slope and lowland sediment systems throughout southern Africa are dominated by the presence of colluvium with interbedded palaeosols and hardground duricrusts. These sediments correspond to phases of land surface instability and stability, respectively, during the late Quaternary. This study examines the stratigraphy and environmental interpretation of slope sediment records from specific sites in southern Africa for the period of marine isotope stages (MIS) 6 to 1 (~191 ka to present), informed by theoretical ideas of the dynamics of slope systems including sediment supply and accommodation space. Based on this analysis, phases of land surface instability and stability for the period MIS 6 to 1 are identified. The spatial and temporal patterns of land surface conditions are not a simple reflection of climate forcing, but rather reflect the workings of slope systems in response to climate in addition to the role of geologic, edaphic and ecological factors that operate within catchment-scale sediment systems. Considering these systems dynamics can yield a better understanding of the usefulness and limitations of slope sediment stratigraphies.
整个南部非洲的斜坡和低地沉积物系统主要由崩积层与互层古土壤和硬地硬壳组成。这些沉积物分别对应于第四纪晚期的地表不稳定和稳定阶段。本研究根据斜坡系统动力学的理论思想,包括沉积物供应和容纳空间,研究了非洲南部特定地点海洋同位素阶段(MIS)6至1(至今约191 ka)斜坡沉积物记录的地层学和环境解释。基于此分析,确定了MIS 6至1期间的地表不稳定和稳定阶段。地表条件的空间和时间模式并不是气候强迫的简单反映,而是反映了斜坡系统对气候的反应,以及在集水区尺度沉积物系统中运行的地质、土壤和生态因素的作用。考虑这些系统动力学可以更好地理解斜坡沉积物地层的有用性和局限性。

Occurrence and probable source of chromium enrichment in Permian coals, South Africa 南非二叠纪煤中铬的赋存状态及可能富集来源

The trace element data pool for South African coals is limited. However, certain elements are reported as occurring in considerably higher concentrations than global average values. These elements include chromium (Cr), as well as manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), and molybdenum (Mo), with Cr showing the most consistent enrichment. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of Cr in South African coals sampled from five coalfields, and to assess the possible source of Cr. A total of 21 run-of-mine (ROM) coal samples from the Waterberg, Soutpansberg, Witbank, Highveld, and the Nongoma Coalfields were obtained from active mines. Coal characterization, mineralogy, and geochemical data were compiled. The Cr values for the Waterberg (23 to 28 ppm), Soutpansberg (4.7 to 43 ppm), Witbank (24 to 37 ppm), and Highveld (33 to 37 ppm) coal samples are higher than those for the Nongoma coals (1.2 to 2.5 ppm), and, in nearly every case, higher than the Clarke value for hard coals (17 ppm). Correlation coefficients, density fractionation, and selective leaching were used to infer (indirect) modes of occurrence. A dominant silicate (clay) affinity was determined with Cr, as well as an organic affinity in the ROM samples. The Nongoma coals, with illite and no kaolinite, have extremely low Cr values. The other samples are enriched in kaolinite and also have a high Cr content. Chromium values as high as 67 ppm were reported for 1.4 RD float fraction samples, indicating a positive correlation with organic matter. A Cr - silicate association was observed following selective leaching. These results imply multiple modes of occurrence of Cr in the South African samples, in agreement with studies conducted globally. Chromium in the South African coals could have originated from the Bushveld Complex (approximately two billion years old), the largest Cr reserve in South Africa, which predates coal formation (approximately 299 to 252 million years ago) and is proximal to the coalfields. The Cr, seemingly not associated with chromite, may have been redistributed in the peat swamps during peat deposition, accumulating in the sediments and organic material. The Nongoma Coalfield is the farthest distance from the possible Bushveld Complex Cr source, and these samples are depleted in Cr.
南非煤炭的微量元素数据库有限。然而,据报道,某些元素的浓度远高于全球平均值。这些元素包括铬(Cr)、锰(Mn)、钴(Co)和钼(Mo),其中Cr表现出最一致的富集。本研究的目的是调查从五个煤田取样的南非煤中Cr的存在,并评估Cr的可能来源。从活跃的矿井中获得了来自Waterberg、Soutpansberg、Witbank、Highveld和Nongoma煤田的总共21个原矿(ROM)煤样。编制了煤的特征、矿物学和地球化学数据。Waterberg(23-28ppm)、Soutpansberg(4.7-43ppm)、Witbank(24-37ppm)和Highveld(33-37ppm)煤样品的Cr值高于Nongoma煤(1.2-2.5ppm),几乎在所有情况下都高于硬煤的Clarke值(17ppm)。相关系数、密度分级和选择性浸出用于推断(间接)发生模式。用Cr测定了主要的硅酸盐(粘土)亲和力,以及ROM样品中的有机亲和力。Nongoma煤含有伊利石,不含高岭石,其Cr值极低。其他样品富含高岭石,并且铬含量也很高。据报道,1.4 RD悬浮馏分样品的铬值高达67ppm,表明与有机物呈正相关。选择性浸出后观察到铬-硅酸盐缔合。这些结果表明,Cr在南非样本中存在多种存在模式,这与全球进行的研究一致。南非煤炭中的铬可能来源于Bushveld杂岩(约20亿年前),这是南非最大的铬储量,早于煤炭形成(约2.99亿至2.52亿年以前),靠近煤田。Cr似乎与铬铁矿无关,可能在泥炭沉积过程中在泥炭沼泽中重新分布,在沉积物和有机物质中积累。Nongoma煤田距离可能的Bushveld复杂铬源最远,这些样品的铬含量很低。

Permian black shales from the lower Ecca Group of the southern main Karoo Basin (MKB) have a total organic carbon (TOC) of up to ~5 wt% and have been considered primary targets for a potential shale gas exploration in South Africa. This study investigates the influence of shale composition, porosity, pressure (P) and temperatures (T) on their geomechanical properties such as compressive strength and elastic moduli. On average, these lower Ecca Group shales contain a high proportion, ~50 to 70 vol%, of mechanically strong minerals (e.g., quartz, feldspar, pyrite), ~30 to 50 vol% of weak minerals (e.g., clay minerals, organic matter) and ~0 to 50 vol% of intermediate minerals (e.g., carbonates), which have highly variable mechanical strength. Constant strain rate, triaxial deformation tests (at T ≤100°C; P ≤50 MPa) were performed using a Paterson-type high pressure instrument. Results showed that the Prince Albert Formation is the strongest and most brittle unit in the lower Ecca Group in the southern MKB followed by the Collingham and then the Whitehill Formation. Compressive strength and Young’s moduli (E) increase with increasing hard mineral content and decrease with increasing mechanically weak minerals and porosity. On comparison with some international shales, for which compositional and geomechanical data were measured using similar techniques, the lower Ecca Group shales are found to be geomechanically stronger and more brittle. This research provides the foundation for future geomechanical and petrophysical investigations of these Permian Ecca black shales and their assessment as potential unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs in the MKB.
来自南部主要Karoo盆地(MKB)下Ecca群的二叠纪黑色页岩的总有机碳(TOC)高达~5 wt%,被认为是南非页岩气勘探的主要目标。该研究考察了页岩成分、孔隙度、压力(P)和温度(T)对其抗压强度和弹性模量等地质力学特性的影响。平均而言,这些较低的Ecca组页岩含有较高比例的机械强度强矿物(如石英、长石、黄铁矿),约占50 ~ 70 vol%的弱矿物(如粘土矿物、有机质)和约占0 ~50 vol%的中间矿物(如碳酸盐),这些矿物的机械强度变化很大。恒应变速率、三轴变形试验(T≤100℃;P≤50 MPa),采用帕特森式高压仪进行。结果表明,在MKB南部的下Ecca组中,Prince Albert组是最强和最脆的单元,其次是Collingham组,然后是Whitehill组。抗压强度和杨氏模量(E)随硬矿物含量的增加而增大,随力学弱矿物和孔隙度的增加而减小。通过与国际上一些页岩进行对比,发现下Ecca组页岩在地质力学上更强、更脆。该研究为今后二叠系Ecca黑色页岩的地质力学和岩石物理研究以及作为MKB潜在非常规油气藏的评价奠定了基础。

This study investigates the influence of shale composition, porosity, pressure (P) and temperatures (T) on their geomechanical properties such as compressive strength and elastic moduli. On average, these lower Ecca Group shales contain a high proportion, ~50 to 70 vol%, of mechanically strong minerals (e.g., quartz, feldspar, pyrite), ~30 to 50 vol% of weak minerals (e.g., clay minerals, organic matter) and ~0 to 50 vol% of intermediate minerals (e.g., carbonates), which have highly variable mechanical strength. Constant strain rate, triaxial deformation tests (at T ≤100°C; P ≤50 MPa) were performed using a Paterson-type high pressure instrument. Results showed that the Prince Albert Formation is the strongest and most brittle unit in the lower Ecca Group in the southern MKB followed by the Collingham and then the Whitehill Formation. Compressive strength and Young’s moduli (E) increase with increasing hard mineral content and decrease with increasing mechanically weak minerals and porosity. On comparison with some international shales, for which compositional and geomechanical data were measured using similar techniques, the lower Ecca Group shales are found to be geomechanically stronger and more brittle.
