| EVOLUTION OF THE CAMBRIAN CARBONATE PLATFORM MARGIN AND SLOPE IN EAST GUIZHOU AND WEST HUNAN,——RELATIONSHIP TO TECTONICS OF YANGTZE CONTINENTAL MARGIN |
| Carbonate platforms tend to grow near to sea level. Thus they record the combined history of subsidence and sealevel fluctuation on passive mar- gins. Sedimentologyntology research on the Cambrian carbonate platform margin and slope in east Guizhou and west Hunan provides detailed information on subsidence history of the south-east passive margin of the Yangtze Plate as well as on sedimentary models and evolution of the margin. Main results are:1. The Cambrian and lower Ordovician carbonate platform developed on an underlying siliclastic shelf. The evolution of carbonate platform can be divided into four stages: ( 1 ) ramp evolved into steepened ramp. ( 2 ) initially drowned platform rapidly evolved into ramp, followed by accrestionary platform. ( 3 ) plalform covered by terrigenous influx rapidly evolved into ramp. followed by accretionary platform and finally by-pass margin platform. ( 4 ) by-pass margin platform evolved into a ccretionary platform.2. The Cambrian to lower Ordovician carbonate platform margin aggraded and prograded throughout this time, reflecting steady tectonic subsidence and suggesting that the south-east margin evolved into mature passive margin through crust thinning and subsidence.3. The favourable tectonic setting and climate resulted in a shallowing-upward megacycle that first coarsens upward, then fines upward. A deeper water ramp or slope shallowing upward into a marginal shoal, and eventually lagoon and tidal flats formed on platform. A coarsing and thickening upward megacycle formed on slope.4. The progradation of platform margin shifted the shelf break eastward and seaward. As a result. calcirudites of the slope cycle rise eastward.5. Episodic and uneven progradation of the platform margin produced a variety of secondary cycles of different duration.,Position, and extent.6. The geometry of slope deposits indicates development of a slope apron as well as a bass-of-slope apron in the early late Cambrian and a debris sheet at the end of the Cambrian.7. Various mud and ciast-supported fabries of debris flow sediments, and calculations of debris static sterength and paleoslope gradients show a variety of support mechanism. Pulsating movement and flow transformation to turbidity currents as well as slide transformation to flows were common in the submarine carbonate debris flows. |
