Time series analysis of mantle cycles Part Ⅰ:Periodicities and correlations among seven global isotopic databases
|
摘要
In this study,seven isotopic databases are presented and analyzed to identify mantle and crustal episodes on a global scale by focusing on periodicity ranging from 70 to 200 million years(Myr).The databases are the largest,or among the largest,compiled for each type of data-with an objective of finding some samples from every region of every continent,to make each database as global as conceivably possible.The databases contain zircon Lu/Hf isotopic data,whole-rock Sm/Nd isotopic data,U/Pb detrital zircon ages,U/Pb igneous zircon ages,U/Pb non-zircon ages,whole-rock Re/Os isotopic data,and large igneous province ages.Part I of this study focuses on the periodicities of age histograms and geochemical averages developed from the seven databases,via spectral and cross-correlation analyses.Natural physical cycles often propagate in exact integer multiples of a fundamental cycle,referred to as harmonics.The tests show that harmonic geological cycles of～93.5 and ～187 Myr have persisted throughout terrestrial history,and the cyclicities are statistically significant for U/Pb igneous zircon ages,U/Pb detrital zircon ages,U/Pb zircon-rim ages,large igneous province ages,mean ε_(Hf)(t)for all samples,mean ε_(Hf)(t)values for igneous-only samples,and relative abundance of mafic rocks.Equally important,cross-correlation analyses show these seven time-series are nearly synchronous(±7 Myr)with a model consisting of periodicities of 93.5 and 187 Myr.Additionally,the similarities between peaks in the 93.5 and 187 Myr mantle cycles and terminal ages of established and suspected superchrons provide a framework for predicting and testing superchron periodicity.
