Abstract:

In this study, the macro/microscopic characterization of fine-grained rocks was observed, and the types and structural features of lacustrine fine-grained sedimentary laminae were taken as the key indicators by which to explore the genesis of fine-grained lithofacies. In addition, the classification indicators and principle of lacustrine fine-grained lithofacies were proposed. Fine-grained sedimentary laminae are important indicators for the classification of fine-grained lithofacies. Two levels of core indicators are proposed as the basis to classify the lacustrine fine-grained lithofacies and subtypes. The level one indicator is the rock composition type, which includes nine index types, e.g. argillaceous rocks, limestone and fine-grained calcareous rocks. The level two indicator is the fine-grained laminae type, mainly including organic, dolomitic, calcareous, silty, gypsum, and carbonaceous laminae. Based on these two levels, the fine-grained lithofacies are classified into 21 types and 33 subtypes. Subsequently, the characteristics of the sedimentary environment of each lithofacies are analyzed.

Key words: fine-grained laminae, fine-grained lithofacies and subtypes, lake expansion and shrinkage cycle, Jiyang Depression
