Abstract:The sedimentary facies of the Cretaceous Wangshi Formation falls into five types of: lake basin--steep shore turbidite fan, sedimentation of pluvial fan, lake shore--shallow lake front edge slope, sub--deep lake and lake-bay. A detailed study is conducted of their microfacies characteristics. The activity of the Yishu fault zone reflected by the sedimentation characteristics of the Wangshi Formation initiates with a slow pulsation followed by a sudden and violent rift faulting, thus causing the superimposed...
