Abstract:

As an example in the Mid-Yangtze area,the basic catalogues and characteristics of sequence style in craton basin have been studied,the mainly key factors for sequence style forming have been discussed,and the sequence styIe distribution model calIed as F,S,R and P has been improved.As a resuIt,there are three styles in craton basin mainy which are called as T,H,and TH styles,in which the H styles is the most one. Relative sea-level change is the most key factor controlling tertiary sequence style forming and distribution, and FSR model is chief one for tertiary sequence style in the Mid-Yangtze area.The sequence style character in the Mid-Yangtze area is similar to the other craton basins in the world,the result in the Mid-Yangtze area may be regarded as a representation conclusion.

Key words: craton basin, sequence stratigraphy, sequence style, Yangtze plate, marine deposit
