摘要

Quebrada de las Lajas,near San Juan,Argentina,preserves an early Pennsylvanian deglacial-postglacial succession in a highly confined paleofjord setting.The sedimentary succession records four distinct stages in the evolution of the valley fill.Stage 1 is represented by the deposits of subglacial diamic-tites,ice-contact deltas,and related deep-water lacustrine environments,including several subaqueous channels.Stage 2 records a glacio-eustatic marine transgression,and a slow-down of the clastic supply into the paleofjord.Stage 3 records a sandy,confined turbidite environment.Stage 4 consists of a coarse-grained delta,which represents a significant rejuvenation of the sedimentary system in the paleofjord.The transition from stage 1 to stage 2 was abrupt and basinwide,and has proven to be a good regional correlation marker.In this paleovalley,the glacio-eustatic rise probably caused floating and consequent rapid melting of the valley glacier.This resulted in a paleovalley-wide turbidite event that is up to 5 m thick and indicates an overall waning character.The rapid sediment emplacement in this event and resulting loading of the paleovalley sediments may have helped cause widespread mass-transport events at the stage 1-2 boundary.All stages show evidence of mass-transport-related deposits,but stage 1 records the most widespread mass transport,with a large spectrum of processes represented,including coherently slumped material,rafted blocks,and completely mixed debris-flow deposits.These mass-transport deposits range from a few meters to over 50 m thick,and up to hundreds of meters wide and long.Most of the large mass-transport deposits in the lower part of the fjord fill occurred at the transition to stage 2,implicating a rise in relative sea level as a possible trigger for the slope failures.Additionally,stage 3 deposits were affected by several thrust-sense dislocations that have large offsets relative to the scale of the sedimentary succession (tens to over 50 m vertically and hundreds of meters laterally); strata associated with the dislocations exhibit growth,indicating very early movement,and they are interpreted as the frontal ramp zones of mass-transport deposits.The abundance and size of mass-transport deposits in stages 1 and 3 helped control sediment pathways throughout the paleofjord.
