摘要

The transition from Laramide s?ntectonic sedimentation of the Lower Eocene Willwood formation to the post-Laramide volcanogenic sedimentation of the Middle Eocene Wapiti Formation was studied in the upper South Fork Shoshone River Valley, Wyoming. To better understand the regional age, paleogeography and provenance of volcaniclastic sandstones in the lower stratified member of the Wapiti Formation, we sampled three units for detrital zircon geochronol-ogy (n=241). The age for the sandstone units for the lowermost, middle, and uppermost units are 49.5, 48.8. and 48.8 respectively, which is consistent with previous geochronologic and paléontologic studies. These ages also are consistent with rocks deposited immediately prior to Heart Mountain Faulting. Detrital zircon spectra show a transition from a mixed (recycled?) provenance consistent with drainage from the west with minor primary Eocene volcanic contributions to one dominated by primary Eocene and Archean contributions from the northern Absaroka volcanoes and the Laramide Beartooth Uplift.
