摘要
The Ordovician strata in Keping area of Tarim Basin are dominated by a series of stable carbonate and clastic rocks and can be divided into shallow platform and deep water depositional systems and then subdivided into four different facies types, namely, restricted platform, open platform, neritic shelf and basin. Based on detailed outcrop geological research, the authors found two different kinds of sequence boundaries. The authors divided the Ordovician strata into 9 third-grade sequences according to an analysis of the sequence stratigraphic framework. C isotopic and element geochemical compositions of those sequences suggest that δ13C values and element geochemical compositions show obvious differences and regular variations in different sequence boundaries and different sequence system tracts. It is suggested that the rise and fall of sea-level occurred many times. In the study area, element geochemical features and sedimentary sequences have a good response relationship.
