Abstract: The genesis of the black rock series of the Triassic Chang 73 member has been controversial. It is gradually gaining acceptance that pyroclastic deposition and hydrothermal deposition are the genesis,along with normal terrigenous sedimentation. In this study,of the Chang 73 member was sampled from top to bottom,and the samples were analyzed by SEM, XRD and optical microscopy to determine the sedimentary properties of the Yaoqu-Yishi village section in Tongchuan. It was found that(1) so-called "black mudstone" is dust tuff and "silt-fine sandstone" is silt to fine-sand tuff,and(2) hydrothermal deposition is abundant in the section,with typical hydrothermal mineral assemblages such as buddingtonite + jarosite + pyrite,amorphous SiO2 + barite,and albitized plagioclase. Pyroclastic deposits and hydrothermal deposits are interbedded with normal terrigenous sediments from deposited semi-deep and shallow lake facies,gravity flow deposits,and massive pyroclastic deposits far from the eruption source,with modified hydrothermal fluid. This particular genesis and sedimentary setting makes the black rock series a potentially highquality hydrocarbon source rock and reservoir favoring significant hydrocarbon accumulation.
