Hu Mingyi, Xiao Chuantao, Gong Wenping. ORIGIN OF DOLOMITES IN DENGYING FORMATION, UPPER SINIAN,SUIZHOU,HUBEI[J]. 1998, 19(1): 83-84.DOI: 10.11743/ogg19980115.
The Late Sinian Dengying Formation at Xiejiadian in Suizhou
Hubei Province is dominated by deep-water carbonate deposits of slope basin facies.Dolomitas develoved well in study area
and are characterized by fine crystals
poor crystal forms
stable lateral distribution and well horizontal lamination.The isotope analysis of carbon and oxygen show that the salinity decreases with the increase of water depth
indicating that the dolomites were the products of penecontemporaneous dolomitization
the Mg
2+
was dervied from high salinity water in platform.According to above mentiioned
