Grain Size Curve Characteristics of 2nd Member of Sangonghe Formation in Qianshao Area and Its Indicative Significance of Hydrodynamic Environment

Abstract

There are mainly two sedimentary types of the 2nd member of Jurassic Sangonghe Formation (J1s2) in the Qianshao area: shallow-water delta and sandy debris flow. In order to accurately understand the characteristics and further identify the difference of sedimentary microfacies, the characteristics of the grain size curve are analyzed. The results show that the cumulative probability curve of sandstone particle size in the research area mainly includes two basic types: tractive current type and sandy debris flow type. The tractive current type is mainly developed in the shallow-water delta front. Among them, the inner front subaqueous distributary channel microfacies develop two patterns: tri-segment pattern and one bouncing segment-one suspension segment-one complex transitional zone pattern. The transitional section is widely developed. There are two patterns in the subaqueous distributary channel microfacies of the outer front (bi-segment pattern and one bouncing segment-one suspension segment-one transitional zone pattern) and two patterns in the estuary bar microfacies (bi-bouncing segment-one suspension segment-one transitional zone pattern and one bouncing segment-one suspension segment-one transitional zone pattern). The main tractive current characteristics are higher bouncing component content and slope and lower suspended component content. The sand debris flow type mainly develops two patterns: one bouncing segment-one suspension segment-one transitional zone pattern and one bouncing segment-one suspension segment-one complex transitional zone pattern with lower jump component content and slope and higher suspended component content.
