THE TURBIDITE OF THE SILURIAN BAIGANHU FORMATION IN THE QIMANTAGE MOUNTAIN EASTERN KUNLUN

LI Dun

Abstract

The Buoma sequence of the turbidite in the Silurian Baiganhu Formation in Qimantage mountain of eastern Kunlun is dominant in the portions of BC, AE, BCE and BCD; the granular distributions are characterized by low gradient of the probability cumulative curve, extensive distribution, large content and poor sorting of the total suspension; the fan shaped paleocurrent direction indicated that formed in the turbidite fan in fan environment of proximal turbidite B and C facies, in which the granular of rocks becomes finer and the water in the sedimentary basin trends to deeper, reflecting the sedimentary features of back arc basin from promotion of the turbidite fan to the sea.
