Abstract：Siderite nodules are widely developed in the Late Paleozoic marine-continental transitional facies strata in North China. The siderite nodules formed in the syndepositional stage contain rich sedimentary paleoenvironmental information. This study focuses on the siderite nodule layer within the Taiyuan Formation in the Zibo area of eastern North China. By conducting petrological,sedimentological,and geochemical analyses,we explored the formation conditions,diagenetic stage,and paleoenvironmental context of the siderite nodules. The main conclusions are as follows: 1)The siderite nodules in Zibo area were formed in the syndepositional stage. The chemical composition and characteristics of siderite nodules can effectively reflect the palaeoenvironmental characteristics of the sedimentary period;2)Siderite nodules were formed in brackish water,weak reduction-reduction,weak alkaline-alkaline environment of marine-continental transitional facies;3)The siderite nodules were formed in the Early Permian Asselian-Sakmarian transition period(295.6±1.1~296.7±1.1 Ma),correlating with the terminal phase of the Early Permian’s discontinuous glacial P1;4)During their formation,the region experienced significant terrestrial weathering,with a generally warm and humid climate. The bottom seawater temperature of the epicontinental sea was between 9.3 ℃ and 19.6 ℃,with an average of 13 ℃.
