Cyclostratigraphic Study of the Upper Cretaceous of Southern Tibet, China: A Case Study of Gongzha Section

摘要


    

The Cyclostratigraphic study has become a principal tool for refinement of the geologic time scale. Compared to the Western Tethys, the Cyclostratigraphic study on the Eastern Tethys is relatively insufficient.  Based on the field observation and the measurement of the bundle thickness, the authors analyzed the cycles of the orbital parameters with Fast Fourier Transport (FFT) in this paper. Generally, the sedimentation rate is in the range of 0.862.53 cm/ka, which increased from the bottom to the top of the strata. In addition, the result of this study is compared with the published results of Cretaceous marine sediments in Western Tethys and those from other areas in different ages, which indicates that in Eastern and Western Tethys, the shape, genesis and the cycles of the orbital parameters of Cretaceous marine strata are similar. Finally, a suggestion for further research is given.
