Abstract:

Studied the fluid inclusions and stable isotopes in the fillings of Lower Paleozoic dissolve burrows on the southeast margin of Ordos,four discontinuous temperature sequences were recovered:44—46℃,59—61℃ and 104—118℃ were Caledonian orogenic stage,156—169℃ was Hercynian orogenic stage.Therefore,it might be considered that organic matter of Lower Ordovician was mature in Caledonian stage and turned into gas in Her-cynian.According to the paleotemperature of the bottom of Majiagou Formation in LowerOrdovician and the deep water characters of Middle-Upper Ordovician on the basin periphery,it is suggested that the internal basin had received Middle-Upper Ordovician sediments which were eroded after Caledonian orogeny.
