Abstract:

The sedimentary environment and facies of the Cambrian Terreneuvian-Qiandongian Qiongzhusi Formation in central Yunnan Province are crucial for understanding the regional stratigraphic evolution. They hold significant implications for constraining the formation of phosphate deposits in the underlying Meishucun Formation,the development of shale gas reservoirs and preservation of the Chengjiang fauna within the Qiongzhusi Formation,and the recognition of depositional environments in the overlying Canglangpu Formation. This study focuses on analyzing sedimentary structures and paleocurrent patterns from the Erjie field profile in the Jinning area,central Yunnan Province,based on detailed field observations. The findings indicate that: (1)The Qiongzhusi Formation in the Jinning area exhibits characteristics of ponded turbidity current deposits,such as repeated Bouma sequences A,recurrent parallel beddings,and relatively thick mudstone caps. (2)Contourite are ubiquitous,associated with bidirectional and unidirectional cross-bedding as well as wave-ripple lamination. (3)Paleocurrent data reveal six dominant and subdominant orientations,forming three nearly opposite pairs: 50° vs. 213°,111° vs. 292°,and 171° vs. 341°;and(4)rose diagrams of paleocurrents from individual bidirectional cross-beds display marked asymmetry. Through comprehensive analysis of sedimentary environments,paleogeography,and interactions of sedimentary flows,it is suggested that the Qiongzhusi Formation was likely deposited in a deep-water ponded basin characterized by widespread contour current deposits,as well as internal-wave and internal-tidal deposits induced by deep-water contour currents.

摘要: 滇中地区寒武系纽芬兰统至黔东统筇竹寺组的沉积环境和沉积类型在区域地层演化上具有举足轻重的作用,对于其下伏地层梅树村组磷矿的形成、本组中页岩气储集层的形成和澄江动物群的保存及上覆地层沧浪铺组的沉积环境识别均具有重要意义。本研究以滇中地区晋宁二街剖面为研究对象,在详细的野外观察基础上,着重对相关沉积构造和古水流进行了分析。结果表明: (1)在晋宁地区筇竹寺组发育有重复的鲍马序列A段、重复的平行层理及相对较厚的泥帽等阻塞浊流沉积特征; (2)等深流沉积中伴生有双向交错层理、单向交错层理及浪成波纹层理; (3)古水流方向总体上可分为6个优势方向和次优势方向,并构成50° vs. 213°、111° vs. 292°和171° vs. 341°近于相反的3组; (4)单个双向交错层理古水流玫瑰花图具有明显的不对称性。在综合分析沉积环境、古地理和沉积流体交互作用的基础上,认为筇竹寺组可能沉积于深水阻塞盆地,等深流沉积普遍发育,内波、内潮汐沉积为伴生沉积,由深水等深流引发形成。
