Abstract: With the technologies of field outcrop section description, identification of thin sections, whole rock X-ray diffraction(XRD)analysis and trace element analysis, researchers have studied mineral components, sedimentary structures, rock types and sedimentary environment of fine-grained sedimentary rocks in Taerlang Formation, Daheyan Area. The results reveal that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are mainly composed of quartz and calcite, and still contain a small amount of feldspar and clay minerals. The types of sedimentary structures contain normal graded bedding, flaser bedding, cross-beddings structure under the strong hydrodynamic and laminated structures under static water environment. It develops carbonate rocks, felsic rocks and fine-grained mixed rocks, and it is divided into 5 types of lithofacies based on factors of color, mineral composition and sedimentary structure, including grey thin-layered mixed fine-grained lithofacies, deep-black laminated clay lithofacies, grey laminated mixed fine-grained lithofacies, grey thin-layered siltstone lithofacies, and off-white laminated limestone lithofacies. The period of fine-grained sedimentary rocks was warm and humid, which belong to quiet, reductive, semi-salt and salt basin.
