Sedimentary environment and organic matter enrichment of black mudstones from the upper Triassic Chang-7 member in the Ordos Basin, Northern China

Wei Yu et al.

Summary: The black mudstone of the Chang-7 Member in the Ordos Basin is the most important source rock with good hydrocarbon generation potential. The sedimentary environment was semi-arid and semihumid, with continental freshwater, and an average paleotemperature of 16 degrees C. The medium-high primary productivity and suitable sedimentary environment played important roles in the enrichment and preservation of organic matter in the Chang-7 Member.

Organic matter enrichment of the Chang 7 member in the Ordos Basin: Insights from chemometrics and element geochemistry

Jun Shi et al.

Summary: The lacustrine black shales of the Chang 7 member in the Ordos Basin of North China are the main source of unconventional petroleum resources. Influenced by volcanic and hydrothermal activity, the Chang 7 member had high productivity and redox conditions, with organic matter enrichment controlled by paleoproductivity and preservation environment. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to analyze geochemical data, showing that it is effective for understanding geological samples comprehensively.

Middle Triassic lake deepening in the Ordos Basin of North China linked with global sea-level rise

Xin Jin et al.

Summary: The Yanchang Formation in the modern Ordos Basin was deposited during the Middle Triassic and is a key target for hydrocarbon exploration in Central China. The Chang 7 Member represents the maximum deepening phase of the lake system, but uncertainty remains about its chronostratigraphy. Marine influences in the Ordos Basin at that time suggest a possible global eustatic rise and highstand influencing lake-level variations.

Triassic hydrothermal chimneys from the Ordos Basin of Northern China

Jiyuan You et al.

Summary: The study presents the original discovery of well-preserved hydrothermal chimneys in the geological record and provides evidence of hydrothermal activity in sedimentary rocks. The ancient chimneys may be related to oil production and serve as important indicators for future oil investigations. Their in situ geochemistry and sulfur isotopes suggest a possible magmatic trigger for these hydrothermal vents.

Chemostratigraphy and pyrite morphology across the Wuchiapingian-Changhsingian boundary in the Middle Yangtze Platform, South China

Hengye Wei et al.

Summary: This study focused on the Yanglinqiao area in central China, where an episodic euxinia event occurred in the mid to late Late Permian. The carbon and sulfur cycles were significantly affected during this period, potentially influencing environmental conditions and biotic turnover. These environmental anomalies may have delayed the recovery from the late Guadalupian mass extinction.

Environmental changes in the Middle Triassic lacustrine basin (Ordos, North China): Implication for biotic recovery of freshwater ecosystem following the Permian-Triassic mass extinction

Hanlin Liu et al.

Summary: The recovery of lacustrine ecosystem in the Ordos basin during the late Middle Triassic after the Permian/Triassic mass extinction was facilitated by the high primary productivity indicated in the black organic-matter-rich shales of the Ladinian. Furthermore, analyses suggest a transition from dysoxic to oxic conditions in the water columns of the lake, potentially promoting the recovery of lacustrine biota following the PTME.

Influence of volcanism on the development of black shales in the Chang 7 Member of Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin

Cheng Wang et al.

Summary: Volcanism in geological history plays a role in the deposition of black shales. The black shales in the Chang 7 Member of the Yanchang Formation are influenced by frequent volcanic activities, leading to a combination of high primary productivity, anoxic conditions, and increased clastic influx. Environmental effects caused by volcanism, such as enhanced weathering, increased clastic influx, anoxic water, and productivity bloom, contribute to the formation of black shales.

Geochemical characteristics and geological significance of humid climate events in the Middle-Late Triassic (Ladinian-Carnian) of the Ordos Basin, central China

Kun Zhang et al.

Summary: The study examines the impact of global and local humid climate events during the Middle-Late Triassic on paleontological evolution and mineral distribution. Analysis of the Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin reveals humid climate events during the Ladinian-Carnian period, leading to enhanced hydrological cycles.
