Abstract

Hydrothermal fluid activities significantly affect the degree of preservation of organic matter as well as the enrichment of trace elelemnts like Mo, U, Cu, Ni and Zn in bituminous sedimentary rocks such as claystone and shale. The examined samples’ Fe/Ti ratio (mean: 126.34) and (Fe+Mn)/Ti ratio (mean: 126.79) ratios of the examined samples show that the Ilgın paleo-lake basin is affected by a hydrothermal fluid. The Zr/Rb ratio suggests that the Ilgın paleo-lake basin has been influenced by hydrothermal fluid. According to the Zr/Rb ratios of the examined samples; While a "weak paleo-hydrodynamic force" (0.71) was effective at the base of the sequence, towards the top, "strong paleo-hydrodynamic forces (2.06-2.86) and weak paleo-hydrodynamic forces (1.78-1, 80) were effective. The water depth of the Ilgın paleo-lake basin is 21.02 meters, and bituminous claystone samples were deposited in a "semi-deep lake". Based on the "Compositional Variability Index" (ICVort= 14.31) values of the Ilgın basin bituminous rock samples, these samples contain a high clay content and were deposited under very low energy water conditions. Considering the paleoclimate indicators derived from Sr/Cu (average: 37.10), Rb/Sr (average: 0.106), Th/U (average: 0.34), Sr/Ba (average: 3.2) and Fe/Mn (average: 596, 33) ratios in the examined samples, a very hot and arid climate prevailed in the Ilgın paleo-lake basin.

ILGIN SAHASI (KONYA) BİTÜMLÜ KİLTAŞI ÇÖKELİMİ HAVZASINDA PALEO-HİDROTERMAL ÇÖKELME KOŞULLARI, PALEO-HİDRODİNAMİK OLAYLAR VE PALEO-İKLİM İNCELEMELERİ

Abstract

Hidrotermal akışkan faaliyetleri kiltaşı ve şeyl gibi bitümlü sedimanter kayaçlardaki Mo, U, Cu, Ni ve Zn gibi iz elementlerin zenginleşmesinin yanı sıra organik maddenin korunma derecesini de önemli ölçüde etkiler. İncelenen örneklerinin Fe/Ti (ort: 126,34) ve (Fe+Mn)/Ti (ort: 126,79) oranları Ilgın paleo-göl havzasının hidrotermal bir sıvıdan etkilendiğini göstermektedir. Zr/Rb oranı çeşitli araştırmacılar tarafından, sedimanter havzalarda paleo-hidrodinamik kuvvetle ilişkili olarak su derinliğinin değişmesinin belirlenmesi amacıyla kullanmıştır. İncelenen örneklerinin Zr/Rb oranlarına göre; istifin tabanında “zayıf paleo-hidrodinamik bir kuvvet” (0,71) etkili olmuşken, üste doğru ise ardışıklı olarak “güçlü paleo-hidrodinamik (2,06-2,86) ile zayıf paleo-hidrodinamik kuvvetler (1,78-1,80) etkili olmuşlardır. Ilgın paleo-göl havzasının su derinliği 21,02 metre olup, bitümlü kiltaşı örnekleri “yarı derin bir gölde” çökelmişlerdir. Ilgın havzası bitümlü kayaç örneklerinin Bileşimsel Değişkenlik İndeksi” (ICVort= 14,31) değerlerine göre örnekler çok yüksek kil içeriğine sahip olup, enerjisi çok düşük su koşullarında çökelmişlerdir. İncelenen örneklerde, Sr/Cu (ort: 37,10), Rb/Sr (ort: 0,106), Th/U (ort: 0,34), Sr/Ba (ort:3,2), Fe/Mn (ort: 596,33) oranlarına ait paleo-iklim göstergelerine göre Ilgın paleo-göl havzasında oldukça sıcak ve kurak iklim etkili olmuştur.
