| 英文摘要 | The occurrence of shallow and deep-water sedimentary facies has established the Yangtze Platform in South China as a key site for the study of Neoproterozoic ocean oxidation and Ediacaran animal evolution following the Marinoan glaciation. The Yanwutan section in Hunan Province is one of the few coherent sections on the Yangtze Platform where Ediacaran deep-water carbonate sediments (predominantly dolostones) are preserved together with organic carbon-rich shales. Here we present new major and trace element abundance data as well as Sr-, O-and C-isotope compositions of leachates from carbonates of the Doushantuo Formation. We evaluate the role of diagenetic modification of the carbonate rocks and constrain the redox evolution of Ediacaran seawater in space and time. Sr-87/Sr-86 systematically varies with delta O-18(carb), Sr-and Ba abundances, indicating variable but mostly strong modification of fluid-mobile elements by continental basin fluids. In contrast, REE+Y patterns have preserved seawater-like compositions. Cap dolostones (unit I) on top of the Nantuo diamictites differ from cap dolostones at shallow-water sections on the Yangtze Platform in that they show no Ce-anomalies, and little alteration near the top (Sr-87/Sr-86 = 0.7078, delta O-18=-4.0, delta C-13(carb) = 1.1), suggesting that delta C-13(carb) and delta O-18 of cap dolostones at many other sections were compromised by hydrothermal alteration. The overlying organic carbon poor micritic dolostone (unit II) shows negative Ce-anomalies that disappear towards the top of the unit. No Ce-anomalies occur in subsequent organic carbon-rich muddy dolostone units (units III to IV). These observations, enrichments in TOC that correlate with variations in redox-sensitive metals in the carbonates, negative delta C-13(carb) in units II to IV and the decoupling of delta C-13(carb) from delta C-13(org) argue for the existence of mostly anoxic deep-water at the Yangtze passive continental margin during the Ediacaran. The negative Ce-anomalies at the base of unit II (with negative delta C-13(carb)) may reflect fluctuations towards suboxic or oxic conditions or an allochthonous origin of this unit. However, trace metal enrichments in carbonates of the same unit argue for reducing conditions in pore-water, whereas the carbonates may have preserved the REE+Y signatures inherited from suboxic-to oxic seawater. The trace element and negative delta C-13(carb) values in units II to IV are consistent with a stratified basin model with a large partially remineralised organic matter reservoir in anoxic bottom and pore-waters.
