Abstract:

Systematic field investigation and thin section observation as well as electron microprobe determination reveal that dolomitization is common in the Changing and Feixianguan formations in Panlongdong,northeastern Sichuan Basin.Various types of dolomites are developed and distributed vertically in obvious zonation.From bottom to top,they are biological clasitic dolomite,reef dolomite,crystalline dolomite,oolitic dolomite and micrite dolomite respectively.Our study showed that three genetic models could account for the formation process of the dolomites,including mixed-water dolomitization,infiltration and circumfluence dolomitization as well as penecontemporaneous dolomitization.The biological clasitic and reef dolomites were mainly formed through the mixed-water dolomitization,which occurred in relatively open diagenesis environment with meteoric water input.These dolomites had different δ13C values and more negative δ18O values and remained original sedimentary structure of rocks which restricted dolomitization.The infiltration and circumfluence dolomitization resulted in the formation of the crystalline and oolitic dolomites which have same δ13C values,less negative δ18O valuse,Fe and Mn contents.The penecontemporaneous dolomitization created the micrite dolomite with tight lithology and less negative δ13C and δ18O values.
