摘要

All sedimentary basins, regardless of age, are the result of the interaction of sediment supply and subsidence of the crust as a result of structural processes and thermal regime. Sediments sources to basins, including organic matter, are dictated by (ⅰ) biological evolution, (ⅱ) eustasy and (ⅲ) paleo-climate. How much of what we know about these three factors—and how they have changed over geologic time—pose a serious challenge to our interpretations of basin formation. The Precambrian encompasses approximately 88% of all Earth history; it is the time during which the planet formed, life emerged and all major groups of multicellular organisms originated (e.g. animals, plants and fungi). The record of biology and geology from this time provides insights into the origin and evolution of the oldest sedimentary basins, and the hydrocarbons they may contain. It is unknown when modern-style (conventional) plate tectonics was established on Earth; heat production from intrinsic radioactivity in the young planet was a factor of 2-8x greater than present. The consequences of these factors were elevated levels of magmatic activity, crust formation and crustal recycling, as well as enhanced thermal metamorphism. Change in the composition of the atmosphere over time has influenced the kind of weathering taking place as reflected in changes in sedimentation style and the types of sediments formed. The dominant form of life in the Precambrian was microbial. It was not until sometime in the Late Proterozoic when the first large eukaryotic cells emerged prior to proliferation of multicellular life. These factors, compounded by the rarified rock record from the earliest times and difficulties in determining ages of formation, provide challenges and opportunities in exploring the ultimate origin of the familiar style of Phanerozoic sedimentation, basin formation and hydrocarbon generation.
