本文详细解读了澳大利亚东北部阿马德斯盆地苦泉组地层中，特别是在古侵蚀面以上和以下的沉积碳酸盐岩的详细测绘与稳定同位素数据。这些数据揭示了区域地层结构，表明洛夫斯溪组顶部保存于科罗博里岩附近，并被fenestrate碳酸盐碎屑岩层、 dolomitic quartz砂岩和含砾页岩覆盖。1-2米厚的上覆碳酸盐盖岩在科罗博里岩与东北方向10公里处存在，多为浅水环境下形成并受到扰动。同位素数据还暗示了埃里克溪上方薄层砂岩和罗斯河新发现的富含燧石的 dolomite可能属于冰川成因的奥林匹克组。此外，研究为罗斯河苦泉组著名的黑色燧石微生物化石提供了更丰富的地质背景。
摘要：
Detailed mapping and C and O stable isotopic data from sedimentary carbonate in units both above and below the paleo-erosion surface on the Bitter Springs Formation (BSF) in the northeastern Amadeus Basin, Australia, have clarified the stratigraphy of the area. Isotopic data indicate that the top of the Loves Creek Member of the Bitter Springs Formation is preserved near Corroboree Rock, and is overlain by fenestrate-carbonate-clast breccia, and dolomitic quartz sandstone and chert-pebble conglomerate of the Pioneer Sandstone. The isotopic data, as well as lithologic data, indicate the presence of a 1–2 m-thick cap carbonate preserved between Corroboree Rock and areas 10 km to the northeast. In many places the cap carbonate layer is mostly a syn-sedimentary dolomite-clast breccia, consistent with deposition and disturbance in shallow water. C and O isotopic data also indicate that thin-bedded sandstone and dolomite above the Bitter Springs Formation at Ellery Creek, and a newly discovered massive chert-bearing dolomite at Ross River could both belong to the glaciogenic Olympic Formation. Detailed mapping also provides a more detailed context for the famous black chert microfossil locality in the Bitter Springs Formation at Ross River.
