Carbonate diagenesis of the upper Jurassic successions in the west of Binalud — Eastern Alborz (NE Iran)

Journal of the Geological Society of India

Abstract

The upper Jurassic carbonate settings in Iran are widely exposed in north and northeastern parts. Five stratigraphic columns were selected in the north eastern Iran. Their thickness ranges from 330 to 500 m. The various diagenetic processes identified include, micritization, cementation, compaction (physical and chemical), dissolution, neomorphism, pyritization, hematitization, silicification and dolomitization, which affected these carbonates. Elemental and stable isotopes analysis indicated that these deposits have undergone both meteoric and burial diagenesis in a relatively open system with moderate water-rock interaction. The positive trend between trace elements and oxygen isotope depletion also support these burial conditions. Lighter δl8O values of the dolomite samples may be related to an increase in temperature during the burial, which correspond to coarser euhedral crystals. Relatively higher δ18O values in finer dolomite crystals indicate their formation at lower burial depths relative to coarser crystals. Petrographic evidences such as coarse euhedral crystals with bright and dull zonation prove this interpretation. Chert nodules also have lighter 18O values relative to carbonate host rock, thus indicating the influence of burial diagenetic processes in their formation. The average environmental palaeotemperature was estimated to be 26°C on the basis of oxygen isotope values of less altered lime-mudstones.
