Abstract:

A taxonomic account of the genus Monocarpus and its only species, M. sphaerocarpus, is presented. The species was initially discovered on salt pans in Western Australia, and only later, in southern Africa. It is extremely rare and the structure of the minute thalli is difficult to determine, also to describe and to illustrate. As far as could be determined, no SEM micrographs o f the thalli and spores have been published before, nor has the capsule wall been illustrated.

Abstract:

In China, pre-Quaternary solid potash deposit has only been discovered in the Simao Basin, and the Lower Cretaceous Mengyejing (MYJ) Formation (Fm.) is the productive layer of potash deposit. In this study, we investigated the clay conglomerates which are distributed in upper and lower members of the potash-bearing salt rock layer. We analyzed the relative contents of major elements (Al2O3, Fe2O3T, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O) and trace elements (B, Ba, Co, Cr, Cu, Ga, Mn, Ni, Rb, Sr, V, Zn, Zr) in the samples. The results show that MgO and CaO in the major elements are rich relative to Post Archean Australian Shale (PAAS), whose average enrichment factor values of the MgO (EFMgO) is 2.61 and CaO (EFCaO) is 4.57, and the others major elements are relatively minor; trace elements (B, Ga, Mn, Zr) are rich relative to PAAS, and the others trace elements are minor relative to PAAS. The study of paleogeographic conditions using various parameters shows that the paleoclimate is generally dry and hot during the period of clay conglomerate deposition, but it was warm and humid in certain periods; the main sedimentary environment is weak oxidation condition with strong oxidation conditions in individual periods; the average value of paleosalinity is ~21‰, and the highest is no more than ~92‰. The significance of the paleogeographic characteristics of MYJ Fm. to potash mineralization are as follows: (1) they indicates that the clay conglomerates of MYJ Fm. are not clastic sediments in brine formed by seawater, because the paleosalinity of clay conglomerates deposition period is obviously lower than that of seawater; (2) MYJ potassic salt ore is not formed by evaporation and concentration of seawater in clay conglomerates in the sedimentary basin, because there is no carbonate rock and sulfate rock of corresponding scale after the deposition of clay conglomerates in the basin; (3) clay conglomerates of MYJ Fm. were deposited in continental shallow water basin; (4) the matter source of potash minerals is deep marine strata; (5) in the MYJ Fm. sedimentation period, deep source salt moved to the surface under the background of extensional structure, and the subsequent sedimentary clastic rock formed a protective layer of potash-bearing rock, thus completing the “deep source and shallow mineralization” metallogenic process.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This study documents the growth of a megaflap along the flank of a passive salt diapir as a result of the long-lived interaction between sedimentation and halokinetic deformation. Megaflaps are nearly vertical to overturned, deep minibasin stratal panels that extend multiple kilometers up steep flanks of salt diapirs or equivalent welds. Recent interest has been sparked by well penetrations of unidentified megaflaps that typically result in economic failure, but their formation is also fundamental to understanding the early history of salt basins. This study represents one of the first systematic characterizations of an exposed megaflap with regards to sub-seismic sedimentologic, stratigraphic, and structural details. The Witchelina diapir is an exposed Neoproterozoic primary passive salt diapir in the eastern Willouran Ranges of South Australia. Flanking minibasin strata of the Top Mount Sandstone, Willawalpa Formation, and Witchelina Quartzite, exposed as an oblique cross section, record the early history of passive diapirism in the Willouran Trough, including a halokinetically drape-folded megaflap. Witchelina diapir offers a unique opportunity to investigate sedimentologic responses to the initiation and evolution of passive salt movement. Using field mapping, stratigraphic sections, petrographic analyses, correlation diagrams, and a quantitative restoration, we document depositional facies, thickness trends, and stratal geometries to interpret depositional environments, sequence stratigraphy, and halokinetic evolution of the Witchelina diapir and flanking minibasins. Top Mount, Willawalpa, and Witchelina strata were deposited in barrier-bar-complex to tidal-flat environments, but temporal and spatial variations in sedimentation and stratigraphic patterns were strongly influenced from the earliest stages by the passively rising Witchelina diapir on both regional (basinwide) and local minibasin scales. The salt-margin geometry was depositionally modified by an early erosional sequence boundary that exposed the Witchelina diapir and formed a salt shoulder, above which strata that eventually became the megaflap were subsequently deposited. This shift in the diapir margin and progressive migration of the depocenter began halokinetic rotation of flanking minibasin strata into a megaflap geometry, documenting a new concept in the understanding of deposition and deformation during passive diapirism in salt basins.

Abstract:

Abstract The aeolian regime of the 100 km wide, hyperarid Namib Desert has been sporadically punctuated by the deposition of fluvial sediments generated during periods of higher humidity either further inland or well within the desert from Late Oligocene to Late Holocene. Four new Late Cenozoic formations are described from the northern Skeleton Coast and compared with formations further south: the Klein Nadas, Nadas (gravels, sands), Vulture’s Nest (silts) and Uniab Boulder Formations. The Klein Nadas Formation is a trimodal mass-flow fan consisting of thousands of huge, remobilised, end-Carboniferous Dwyka glacial boulders, many >3 m in length, set in an abundant, K-feldspar-rich and sandy matrix of fine gravel. Deluge rains over the smallest catchments deep within the northern Namib were the driving agent for the Klein Nadas Fan, the termination of which, with its contained boulders, rests on the coastal salt pans. These rains also resulted in catastrophic mass flows in several of the other northern Namib rivers. The Uniab Boulder Formation, being one, consists only of huge free-standing boulders. Gravelly fluvial deposition took place during global interglacial and glacial events. The Skeleton Coast Erg and other smaller dune trains blocked the rivers at times. The low-energy, thinly bedded silt deposits of the central and northern Namib are quite distinctive from the sands and gravels of older deposits. Their intermittent deposition is illustrated by bioturbation and pedogenesis of individual layers. Published offshore proxy climatological data (pollens, upwelling, wind, sea surface temperatures) point to expansion of the winter-rainfall regime of the southern Cape into southwestern Angola during strong glacial periods between the Upper Pleistocene and Holocene. In contrast to deposition initiated by short summer thunder storms, we contend that the silt successions are river-end accumulations within which each layer was deposited by runoff from comparatively gentle winter rains that lasted several days.

Abstract:

>Magister Scientiae - MSc
Salt pans are a characteristic feature of many dry deserts. The microbial communities inhabiting salt pans are thought to be particularly complex and are generally dominated by halophilic microorganisms. Although saline pools are frequently found within the hyper-arid Namib Desert, the microbial communities of these saline sites have been scarcely investigated. The aim of the present study was to characterise the archaeal, bacterial and cyanobacterial diversity inhabiting these extreme saline pools using three culture independent molecular techniques (DGGE, T-RFLP and 16S rRNA clone libraries). The physiochemical results, mainly the conductivity readings recorded from the sampling sites, indicated that the Gobabeb (103.0mS/cm) region was less saline than the two Swakopmund [(Sps01) (150.0mS/cm) and Sps02 (180.0mS/cm)] sites. Results obtained from DGGE and T-RFLP data were in agreement for both bacterial and cyanobacterial analysis indicating that the Gobabeb site was more diverse than the two Swakopmund sites (Sps01 and Sps02). In comparison, the archaeal community profiles for DGGE and T-RFLP analysis were in agreement illustrating that the archaeal community were more abundant in the two extreme Swakopmund saline sites. Phylogenetic data obtained from 16S rRNA gene clone libraries identified halophilic phylotypes (Rhodothermaceae, Idiomarinaceae Puniceicoccaceae and Cyanobacteria/Chloroplast, Family VII) normally associated with salt rich sites. In addition, a large number of unclassified taxa were identified. To conclude, the study highlighted the presence of a rich microbial diversity present within the salt pans of the Namib Desert and establishes a platform for future investigations.

Abstract:

The eastern Willouran Ranges and northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia contain Neoproterozoic and Cambrian outcrop exposures of diapiric breccia contained in salt diapirs, salt sheets and associated growth strata that provide a natural laboratory for testing and refining models of salt-sediment interaction, specifically allochthonous salt initiation and emplacement and halokinetic deformation. Allochthonous salt, which is defined as a sheet-like diapir of mobile evaporite emplaced at younger stratigraphic levels above the autochthonous source, is emplaced due to the interplay between the rate of salt supply to the front of the sheet and the sediment-accumulation rate, and may be flanked by low- to high-angle stratal truncations to halokinetic folds. Halokinetic sequences (HS) are localized (<1000 m) unconformity-bound successions of growth strata adjacent to salt diapirs that form as drape folds due to the interplay between salt rise rate (R) and sediment accumulation rate (A). HS stack to form tabular and tapered composite halokinetic sequences (CHS), which have narrow and broad zones of thinning, respectively. The concepts of CHS formation are derived from outcrops in shallow water to subaerial depositional environments in La Popa Basin, Mexico and the Flinders Ranges, South Australia. Current models for allochthonous salt emplacement, including surficial glacial flow, advance above subsalt shear zones and emplacement along tip thrusts, do not address how salt transitions from steep feeders to low-angle sheets and the model for the formation of halokinetic sequences has yet to be fully applied or tested in a deepwater setting. Thus, this study integrates field data from South Australia with subsurface data from the northern Gulf of Mexico to test the following: (1) current models of allochthonous salt advance and subsalt deformation using structural analysis of stratal truncations adjacent to outcropping salt bodies, with a focus on the transition from steep diapirs to shallow salt sheets in South Australia; and (2) the outcrop-based halokinetic sequence model using seismic and well data from the Auger diapir, located in the deepwater northern Gulf of Mexico. Structural analysis of strata flanking steep diapirs and allochthonous salt in South Australia reveals the transition from steep diapirs to shallowly-dipping salt sheets to be abrupt and involves piston-like breakthrough of roof strata, freeing up salt to flow laterally. Two models explain this transition: 1) salt-top breakout, where salt rise occurs inboard of the salt flank, thereby preserving part of the roof beneath the sheet; and 2) salt-edge breakout, where rise occurs at the edge of the diapir with no roof preservation. Shear zones, fractured or mixed `rubble zones' and thrust imbricates are absent in strata beneath allochthonous salt and adjacent to steep diapirs. Rather, halokinetic drape folds, truncated roof strata and low- and high-angle bedding intersections are among the variety of stratal truncations adjacent to salt bodies in South Australia. Interpretation and analysis of subsurface data around the Auger diapir reveals similar CHS geometries, stacking patterns and ratios of salt rise and sediment accumulation rates, all of which generally corroborate the halokinetic sequence model. The results of this study have important implications for salt-sediment interaction, but are also critical to understanding and predicting combined structural-stratigraphic trap geometry, reservoir prediction and hydrocarbon containment in diapir-flank settings.

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] The Collie River drainage basin is an important water resource catchment in southwestern Australia. Salinisation of a major water supply within the catchment, the Wellington Reservoir, has arisen due to changes in the water and salt balance in response to land clearing over saprolite aquifers. Paired catchment studies, the Collie Experimental Catchments (CECs), established in the early 1970’s in high and low rainfall areas increased our understanding of water and salt (predominantly chloride) movement in these aquifers through the collection and analysis of high resolution spatio-temporal data. However, the conceptual models developed from this work take little account of landscape heterogeneity, and this has caused problems in subsequent modelling studies, where success in calibrating stream flow has been countered by difficulties in predicting salt loads. The challenge remains to better describe variability in the Collie landscape and understand the influence of climate, vegetation, geology and geomorphology on observed water and salt fluxes. The release of salt from the lower saprolite aquifer and the role of the surficial aquifer in buffering groundwater discharge were investigated. The acquisition, analysis and interpretation of new regolith and geophysical data in 2001-2003 from the CECs, together with data from a high resolution digital elevation model, and existing drilling information, were used to construct a geologicalgeomorphological compartment framework, to observe changes in aquifer behaviour ... Significant differences in the salt flux from compartments have been noted at a range of scales, with implications for both water resource and land management. The approach developed to identify compartments and assess their efficiency could be simplified, using catchment critical parameters determined from geological and geomorphological characteristics. As a consequence, the implementation of a compartment framework in catchments with saprolite aquifers should allow for more informed decisions to be made in the selection of sites for revegetation strategies or the development of engineering works. This is particularly important in the Collie Catchment where reclamation scenarios are currently being discussed. Consideration of the catchment as a compartmentalised system would help manage salt loads in the Collie River and return the Wellington Reservoir to a functional water resource.
