Abstract The late Cretaceous Bida Basin lithostratigraphy was carried out in order to establish a correlation between the northern (Bida area) and the southern part (Lokoja area) of the basin. The detailed fieldwork carried out over four years involved field description and mapping of outcrops in the entire basin. The study showed that the basin is underlain by mainly continental sedimentary rocks with minor occurrence of marginal/shallow marine to freshwater flood-plain deposits. The basin fill is characterised mostly by several cycles of amalgamated and/or stacked alluvial fans of the Bida/Lokoja Formation directly overlying the Basement Complex. The study revealed that the Lokoja/Bida Sandstone is overlain directly by the oolitic/pisolitic ironstone of the Agbaja/Sakpe Formations, which, in turn, is succeeded by fine to medium grained, grey and white sandstones, siltstones, grey clays, carbonaceous silts and shales, and ubiquitous concretionary ironstone bands of the Patti/Enagi Formation. Given the current detailed investigation, this study suggests that contrary to the rebuttal published, the Agbaja Ironstone is not the youngest formation in the basin. This study further revealed that the sequence of rocks and fossils used to define the Patti Formation and its probable age do not exist on Mount Patti in Lokoja, rather they are found along excavated road sections, quarries and boreholes around the Ahoko Village. Based on the detailed field work and sedimentological investigations, this study hereby proposes that the name ‘Patti Formation’ be changed to ‘Ahoko Formation’.

对尼日利亚比达盆地修正地层学反驳的回应:新观察。

摘要 为了确定盆地北部(比达地区)和南部(洛科贾地区)的对比,开展了晚白垩世比达盆地岩石地层学。四年多来的详细实地工作包括对整个盆地的露头进行实地描述和绘图。研究表明,该盆地的下方主要是大陆沉积岩,少量出现边缘/浅海到淡水泛滥平原沉积物。盆地填充物的主要特征是直接覆盖在基底复合体上的 Bida/Lokoja 组的多个混合和/或堆积冲积扇循环。研究表明,Lokoja/Bida 砂岩直接被 Agbaja/Sakpe 地层的鲕粒质/硬质铁岩覆盖,继而依次为细粒至中粒、灰色和白色砂岩、粉砂岩、灰色粘土、碳质粉砂和页岩,以及 Patti/Enagi 组无处不在的固结铁岩带。鉴于目前的详细调查,这项研究表明,与发表的反驳相反,Agbaja Ironstone 并不是盆地中最年轻的地层。这项研究进一步揭示了用于定义 Patti 组及其可能年龄的岩石和化石序列在 Lokoja 的 Patti 山上并不存在,而是在 Ahoko 村周围的挖掘路段、采石场和钻孔中发现。根据详细的野外工作和沉积学调查,本研究特此建议将“Patti 组”的名称改为“Ahoko 组”。Patti/Enagi 组无处不在的固结铁岩带。鉴于目前的详细调查,这项研究表明,与发表的反驳相反,Agbaja Ironstone 并不是盆地中最年轻的地层。这项研究进一步揭示了用于定义 Patti 组及其可能年龄的岩石和化石序列在 Lokoja 的 Patti 山上并不存在,而是在 Ahoko 村周围的挖掘路段、采石场和钻孔中发现。根据详细的野外工作和沉积学调查,本研究特此建议将“Patti 组”的名称改为“Ahoko 组”。Patti/Enagi 组无处不在的固结铁岩带。鉴于目前的详细调查,这项研究表明,与发表的反驳相反,Agbaja Ironstone 并不是盆地中最年轻的地层。这项研究进一步揭示了用于定义 Patti 组及其可能年龄的岩石和化石序列在 Lokoja 的 Patti 山上并不存在,而是在 Ahoko 村周围的挖掘路段、采石场和钻孔中发现。根据详细的野外工作和沉积学调查,本研究特此建议将“Patti 组”的名称改为“Ahoko 组”。Agbaja Ironstone 并不是盆地中最年轻的地层。这项研究进一步揭示了用于定义 Patti 组及其可能年龄的岩石和化石序列在 Lokoja 的 Patti 山上并不存在,而是在 Ahoko 村周围的挖掘路段、采石场和钻孔中发现。根据详细的野外工作和沉积学调查,本研究特此建议将“Patti 组”的名称改为“Ahoko 组”。Agbaja Ironstone 并不是盆地中最年轻的地层。这项研究进一步揭示了用于定义 Patti 组及其可能年龄的岩石和化石序列在 Lokoja 的 Patti 山上并不存在,而是在 Ahoko 村周围的挖掘路段、采石场和钻孔中发现。根据详细的野外工作和沉积学调查,本研究特此建议将“Patti 组”的名称改为“Ahoko 组”。
