  • Deep一water traction currents of internal一wave and internal一ride origin are well developed on modern sea floor.

In ancient stratigraphic record, small一scale sedimentation units of internal一wave and internal一tide origin have been recognized Gut large一scale sediment waves of internal一wave origin have not. Based on detailed studies, different kinds of internal一wave and internal 一tide deposits have been recognized in the clastic rocks of the middle一upper Ordovician in the Central Tarim Basin.

The vertical successions include (l)symmetrical graded succession consisting entirely of cross一laminated sandstone, (2)normal graded succession consisting of cross一laminated sandstone, (3) normal graded succession consisting of medium scale cross一bedding and bi一directional cross一laminations, (4) symmetrical graded一couplet succession, (5)mudstone一oolitic limestone一mudstone succession. More importantly, based on detailed studies of seismic profiles, the authors discovered large一scale sediment waves of upslope migra- tion developed in the continental slope facies of the middle一upper Ordovician. The characteristics of these sedi- meat waves are similar to those of the sediment waves well developed on modem seafloor. According to the theory of internal wave, the origin of these sediment waves can be explained satisfactorily.

Internal- Wave and Internal- Tide Deposits of the Middle- Upper Ordovician in the Center Tarim Basin

Abstract: Deep一water traction currents of internal一wave and internal一ride origin are well developed on modern sea floor. They can not only produce sedimentary structures of cm一size but also build large一sca1e sediment waves of km一size. Moreover, mast of these sediment waves migrate upslope. In ancient stratigraphic record, small一scale sedimentation units of internal一wave and internal一tide origin have been recognized Gut large一scale sediment waves of internal一wave origin have not. Based on detailed studies, different kinds of internal一wave and internal 一tide deposits have been recognized in the clastic rocks of the middle一upper Ordovician in the Central Tarim Basin. Four basiC sedimentary micrpfacies and five identical successions of internal一wave and internal一tide de- posits have been recognized and summarized. These microfacies are (1)hi一directional cross一laminated very fine- grained sandstone microfacies, (2)unidirectional cross一bedded and bi一directional crass一laminated medium一to fine一grained sandstone microfacies, (3)alternating sandstone and mudstone microfacies, and (4)oolitic limestone andsand politic limestone microfacies. The vertical successions include (l)symmetrical graded succession consisting entirely of cross一laminated sandstone, (2)normal graded succession consisting of cross一laminated sandstone, (3) normal graded succession consisting of medium scale cross一bedding and bi一directional cross一laminations, (4) symmetrical graded一couplet succession, (5)mudstone一oolitic limestone一mudstone succession. More importantly, based on detailed studies of seismic profiles, the authors discovered large一scale sediment waves of upslope migra- tion developed in the continental slope facies of the middle一upper Ordovician. The characteristics of these sedi- meat waves are similar to those of the sediment waves well developed on modem seafloor. According to the theory of internal wave, the origin of these sediment waves can be explained satisfactorily.
