Abstract The Tunas Formation crops out in the eastern sector of the Ventania System (southwestern Buenos Aires Province, Argentina) and represents the last unit of the Pillahuinco Group (Pennsylvanian–Cisuralian). This work integrates sedimentological, palaeontological, geochemical, and geochronological studies of the uppermost levels of the unit with the aim to enhance its palaeoenvironmental and stratigraphic framework within the Southwest Gondwana context. The analysed succession, of 250 m thick, is dominated by lithic arkoses and feldspathic litharenites composed of crystalline quartz and minor feldspars and volcanic fragments, interbedded with muddy-siltstones and heterolithic deposits with plant fossils. The succession is organized in three thickening- and coarsening-upward packages that correspond to fluvio-deltaic deposits. The plant fossil assemblage includes fronds of Gangamopteris obovata, Glossopteris angustifolia, Glossopteris wilsonii, and Asterotheca sp. cf. A. andersonii, in association with articulate ribbed stems of Paracalamites australis, which are here assigned to the Gangamopteris Zone. The low plant-diversity of the Tunas Formation could be related to the change from postglacial to semiarid-arid conditions evidenced during the Cisuralian in the Southwest Gondwana region where the study area is located. The obtained geochemical results indicate low recycling and sorting of continentally derived sediments with dominant input from the upper continental crust and acidic to intermediate magmatic precursors related to an active continental margin. Previous studies pointed out that the North Patagonian Massif, located SW of the Ventania System, was the source of such materials. Additionally, new LA-ICP-MS U–Pb zircon ages from two tuff levels of the Tunas Formation were considered together with previous U–Pb zircon ages. These suggest that the source of the ash fall deposits could be as far as the pre-Choiyoi volcanism (Late Mississippian–middle Cisuralian) of the Chilean Precordillera and Frontal Cordillera and as close as the Choiyoi volcanism (middle Cisuralian–Lower Triassic) of the Las Matras and Chadileuvu blocks, all located west of the Ventania System. The integrated analyses of the available U–Pb geochronological data also allowed us to constrain the sedimentation age of the uppermost levels of the Tunas Formation to the Artinskian. However, the age interval of the stratigraphic unit should be wider.

同造山碎屑楔的地球化学、古生物学和沉积学方法:对二叠纪(Cisuralian)金枪鱼组、文塔尼亚系统(阿根廷)来源的影响

摘要 金枪鱼组出现在文塔尼亚系统的东部(阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯省西南部),代表了 Pillahuinco 群(宾夕法尼亚-西苏拉连)的最后一个单元。这项工作整合了该单元最上层的沉积学、古生物学、地球化学和地质年代学研究,旨在加强其在冈瓦纳西南部背景下的古环境和地层框架。分析的层序厚 250 m,以岩屑长石和长石岩屑岩为主,由结晶石英和少量长石和火山碎屑组成,夹有泥质粉砂岩和杂岩沉积物和植物化石。序列被组织成三个增厚和向上粗化的组合,对应于河流三角洲沉积物。植物化石组合包括 Gangamopteris obovata、Glossopteris angustifolia、Glossopteris wilsonii 和 Asterotheca sp。参见 A. andersonii,与 Paracalamites australis 的有节肋状茎相关联,这里被分配到 Gangamopteris 区。金枪鱼组的低植物多样性可能与研究区所在的西南冈瓦纳地区的 Cisuralian 期间证明的从冰后到半干旱条件的变化有关。获得的地球化学结果表明大陆衍生沉积物的循环和分选率低,主要输入来自上大陆地壳和与活动大陆边缘相关的酸性至中级岩浆前驱体。先前的研究指出,位于文塔尼亚系统西南的北巴塔哥尼亚地块,是这些材料的来源。此外,来自金枪鱼地层两个凝灰岩层级的新 LA-ICP-MS U-Pb 锆石年龄与之前的 U-Pb 锆石年龄一起考虑。这些表明火山灰沉积物的来源可能远至智利前科迪勒拉和前科迪勒拉的前 Choiyoi 火山活动(密西西比晚期 - 中西苏拉尔),与智利前科迪勒拉的 Choiyoi 火山活动(中西苏拉尔 - 下三叠纪)接近。 Las Matras 和 Chadileuvu 区块,均位于文塔尼亚系统以西。对可用 U-Pb 年代学数据的综合分析也使我们能够将金枪鱼组最上层的沉积时代限制在阿廷斯基阶。但是,地层单元的年龄间隔应该更宽。来自金枪鱼地层两个凝灰岩层级的新 LA-ICP-MS U-Pb 锆石年龄与之前的 U-Pb 锆石年龄一起考虑。这些表明火山灰沉积物的来源可能远至智利前科迪勒拉和前科迪勒拉的前 Choiyoi 火山活动(密西西比晚期 - 中 Cisuralian),并与智利的 Choiyoi 火山活动(中 Cisuralian - 下三叠纪)接近Las Matras 和 Chadileuvu 区块,均位于文塔尼亚系统以西。对可用 U-Pb 年代学数据的综合分析也使我们能够将金枪鱼组最上层的沉积时代限制在阿廷斯基阶。但是,地层单元的年龄间隔应该更宽。来自金枪鱼地层两个凝灰岩层级的新 LA-ICP-MS U-Pb 锆石年龄与之前的 U-Pb 锆石年龄一起考虑。这些表明火山灰沉积物的来源可能远至智利前科迪勒拉和前科迪勒拉的前 Choiyoi 火山活动(密西西比晚期 - 中 Cisuralian),并与智利的 Choiyoi 火山活动(中 Cisuralian - 下三叠纪)接近Las Matras 和 Chadileuvu 区块,均位于文塔尼亚系统以西。对可用 U-Pb 年代学数据的综合分析也使我们能够将金枪鱼组最上层的沉积时代限制在阿廷斯基阶。但是,地层单元的年龄间隔应该更宽。这些表明火山灰沉积物的来源可能远至智利前科迪勒拉和前科迪勒拉的前 Choiyoi 火山活动(密西西比晚期 - 中 Cisuralian),并与智利的 Choiyoi 火山活动(中 Cisuralian - 下三叠纪)接近Las Matras 和 Chadileuvu 区块,均位于文塔尼亚系统以西。对可用 U-Pb 年代学数据的综合分析也使我们能够将金枪鱼组最上层的沉积时代限制在阿廷斯基阶。但是,地层单元的年龄间隔应该更宽。这些表明火山灰沉积物的来源可能远至智利前科迪勒拉和前科迪勒拉的前 Choiyoi 火山活动(密西西比晚期 - 中 Cisuralian),并与智利的 Choiyoi 火山活动(中 Cisuralian - 下三叠纪)接近Las Matras 和 Chadileuvu 区块,均位于文塔尼亚系统以西。对可用 U-Pb 年代学数据的综合分析也使我们能够将金枪鱼组最上层的沉积时代限制在阿廷斯基阶。但是,地层单元的年龄间隔应该更宽。
