摘要

Alluvial-fan strata contain valuable proxy data for kinematic, climatic and sediment-flux phenomena associated with high-relief source regions. Proper application of this data is dependent upon acquisition of accurate high-resolution chronostratigraphic data, best achieved through magnetostratigraphy. Collection of magnetostratigraphic and other proxy data from composite alluvial-fan sections assumes the chronostratigraphic significance of lithostratigraphy. We present the first test of this assumption with new magnetostratigraphy collected from Palcogene rocks of the southeastern Ebro basin. We report five new magnetostratigraphic sections that collectively sample 850 m of alluvial-fan and associated fluvial strata. One-hundred meters of lithostratigraphic overlap between these sections reveals equivalent magnetic polarities over short along-strike distances (similar to 200-2000 m). However, lithostratigraphic correlation of these sections with the magneto stratigraphy of continuously exposed strata eight kin away reveals discrepancies in magnetic polarity trends and age interpretations. Correlation of our 760 m composite magnetostratigraphic section with the Paleogene geomagnetic polarity time scale suggests that this section spans from ca. 31.3 to 27.7 Ma (C12r-C9n; early to late Oligocene). This correlation. implies steady sedimentation rates of similar to 12 cm/ka for fluvial facies and similar to 32 crn/ka for alluvial-fan facies. Alternative interpretations that force chronostratigraphic correlation with the lithostratigraphically equivalent interval generate unsteady and/or unlikely sedimentation rates in one or both of the stratigraphies and require rejection of multiple well-constrained polarity zones. The absence of significant surfaces of erosion or paleosol development argue against these alternative interpretations and suggest that even in the best exposed study areas, alluvial-fan successions may be diachronous and preclude lateral extrapolation of chronostratigraphic and other proxy data. Interpretations and models based upon data collected from alluvial-fan strata may be tenuous unless supported by sufficient spatial overlap to constrain the relationship between time surfaces and rock surfaces.
