摘要

Proterozoic aeolian successions tend to exhibit a low complexity in the architectural organisation, generally related to simple dunes with low morphological diversity. Although most palaeoenvironmental reconstructions of ancient ergs confirm this scenario, the general conditions in the Precambrian landmass should have allowed the construction of larger and more complex sedimentary aeolian systems than those recorded in the Phanerozoic successions. To address this paradigm, the present work proposes to discuss the development and morphodynamics of ancient draa-scale bedforms and to understand which controlling factors produced the apparent absence of draa architecture in the Precambrian sedimentary record. For this purpose, this study examines an interval of c. 80 m of the Galho do Miguel Formation, which is a Mesoproterozoic aeolian succession composed of metasandstones showing well-preserved primary sedimentary structures and geometries with excellent vertical and horizontal exposures. A detailed sedimentological analysis allowed the recognition of six main architectural elements: (i) simple transverse dune, ( ii) simple linear dune; (iii) compound transverse draa; (iv) complex linear draa, (v) dry interdune and (vi) sand sheet. The lateral and vertical relationships between these architectural elements support the evidence of coeval spatial coexistence of distinct aeolian morphologies (transverse and linear bedforms), probably controlled by lateral variations in sand saturation and in circulation pattern of the palaeowind. The stratigraphic organisation indicates different intervals of draa construction and destruction, which appear to be associated with different sedimentary pulses. The intervals of draa construction represent the vertical succession between simple and compound dunes of similar morphologies, representing temporal variation in sedimentary availability and changes in angle of dune climbing. The erosional and irregular surface at the bottom of compound sets of cross-strata can represent periods of irregular accumulation, associated with partial draa destruction (dune cannibalisation), probably due to seasonal variations in sedimentary availability throughout construction stages. Evidence of a near-surface water table level, as small wave ripples, indicates that the position of the water table was directly linked to the sedimentation pattern throughout these intervals. This relationship implies that ground water was the main controlling factor on sand availability and wind saturation during aeolian morphodynamics, as well as on accumulation and preservation processes. Moreover, in conditions of high rates of subsidence, the thickness accumulated and preserved via water table fluctuation is incorporated in the sedimentary record; otherwise, these deposits would have eroded due to aeolian deflation or fluvial reworking. Apparently, the absence of large and complex aeolian systems in the Precambrian record can be related to the absence of continuous near-surface water table during the draa development, directly decreasing their preservation potential.
