Characterization of gravity flow deposition of the Lower Triassic Liujiagou Formation in the southwestern Ordos Basin and analysis of its genesis
and the genesis were studied. The results show that the core section of Liujiagou Formation develops grayish purple siltstone
rudaceous mixed rock and black mudstone. The siltstone was mainly composed of quartz
rock debris
feldspar
micrite calcite
and matrix
with a matrix-supported fabric
and developed turbidite sedimentary characteristics such as groove casts
graded bedding
flame structures
convolute bedding
and Bouma sequences
identifying it as turbidite. The mixed rock contained a large amount of gravel intraclast and interstitial material
with the latter composed of terrigenous clastic particles
intraclasts
and matrix. It exhibited sedimentary characteristics such as muddy tear-shaped clasts
matrix-supported structure
randomly oriented particles
and abrupt contact with the overlying and underlying mudstones
suggesting it was debris flow deposition. The study suggests that the Mianlue Ocean during the Early Triassic was not completely closed and had a marine transgression impact on the southwestern margin of the Erdos Basin
forming mixed rock strata. Lagoon sediments developed in the Zhengning area
with slopes present
and gravity flow sediments dominated by debris flow-turbidity current were developed at the place of Well C3.
