Abstract Application of integrated, multi-proxy optical analytical techniques for the assessment of thermal maturity of organic matter was tested in Katian to Hirnantian (Upper Ordovician) sediments from a subsurface succession in southern Estonia. The investigated Valga-10 drill core section consists of a biostratigraphically well-constrained succession deposited in the outer part of a carbonate shelf (Livonian basin). The diverse and well-preserved palynological assemblages permitted the analysis of thermally-induced modifications of optical properties of small and large acanthomorph acritarchs. Qualitative methods such as UV-fluorescence and Acritarch Alteration Index (AAI) were calibrated against the quantitative Palynomorph Darkness Index (PDI). The occurrence of vitrinite-like organoclasts allowed reflectance measurements in some of the investigated samples. The strong fluorescence and pale to yellow colour of acritarchs, combined with low PDI and organoclast reflectance values, suggest thermally immature kerogen and a limited burial diagenesis in the study area. Moreover, PDI showed a good correlation with UV-fluorescence, allowing a calibration of these two techniques and proving the reliability of PDI for thermal maturity estimation in sedimentary rocks unsuitable for Rock-eval pyrolysis and vitrinite reflectance. Furthermore, the applied methodologies, permitted the differentiation of reworked from in situ organic matter and highlighted the potential of the former for sequence stratigraphic investigations.

爱沙尼亚南部上奥陶统 (Katian-Hirnantian) 岩石热成熟度评估的孢粉形光学分析

摘要 在爱沙尼亚南部地下层序的 Katian 至 Hirnantian(上奥陶纪)沉积物中测试了应用综合、多代理光学分析技术评估有机物质的热成熟度。所研究的 Valga-10 钻芯部分由沉积在碳酸盐岩架(立窝尼亚盆地)外部的生物地层限制良好的层序组成。多样化且保存完好的孢粉学组合允许对小型和大型棘形类动物的光学特性的热诱导修饰进行分析。定性方法,例如紫外荧光和 Acritarch 改变指数 (AAI),根据定量孢粉暗度指数 (PDI) 进行校准。镜质体样有机碎屑的出现允许在一些研究样品中进行反射测量。acritarchs 的强荧光和淡黄色颜色,加上低 PDI 和有机碎屑反射值,表明研究区的热不成熟干酪根和有限的埋藏成岩作用。此外,PDI 与紫外荧光显示出良好的相关性,允许校准这两种技术并证明 PDI 用于不适合岩石评价热解和镜质体反射的沉积岩中热成熟度估计的可靠性。此外,所应用的方法允许从原位有机物质中区分返工,并突出了前者在层序地层调查中的潜力。acritarchs 的强荧光和淡黄色颜色,加上低 PDI 和有机碎屑反射值,表明研究区的热不成熟干酪根和有限的埋藏成岩作用。此外,PDI 与紫外荧光显示出良好的相关性,允许校准这两种技术并证明 PDI 用于不适合岩石评价热解和镜质体反射的沉积岩中热成熟度估计的可靠性。此外,所应用的方法允许从原位有机物质中区分返工,并突出了前者在层序地层调查中的潜力。acritarchs 的强荧光和淡黄色颜色,加上低 PDI 和有机碎屑反射值,表明研究区的热不成熟干酪根和有限的埋藏成岩作用。此外,PDI 与紫外荧光显示出良好的相关性,允许校准这两种技术并证明 PDI 用于不适合岩石评价热解和镜质体反射的沉积岩中热成熟度估计的可靠性。此外,所应用的方法允许从原位有机物质中区分返工,并突出了前者在层序地层调查中的潜力。PDI 显示出与紫外荧光的良好相关性,允许校准这两种技术并证明 PDI 用于不适合岩石评价热解和镜质体反射的沉积岩中热成熟度估计的可靠性。此外,所应用的方法允许从原位有机物质中区分返工,并突出了前者在层序地层调查中的潜力。PDI 显示出与紫外荧光的良好相关性,允许校准这两种技术并证明 PDI 用于不适合岩石评价热解和镜质体反射的沉积岩中热成熟度估计的可靠性。此外,所应用的方法允许从原位有机物质中区分返工,并突出了前者在层序地层调查中的潜力。
