Abstract:

The T74 boundary outcrop profile is located in the north-east Bachu County, Tarim Basin, which separate Upper Ordovician and MiddleLower Ordovician. The lithology of this boundary is bioclasts packstones and wackstones. Based on the microfacies analysis, the bioclasts rich in biospecies mainly consist of echinoids especially in crinoids and ostrocods. Other bioclasts include brachiopod, mollusc, trilobite, calcispher, dasycladus, serpulid, foraminifera, sponges and bryozoan. Analysed by microscopes, carbone-oxygen isotope and X-ray fluorescent analysis and so on, the results show that the strata of T74boundary formed in the warm and lower energy shelf facies and subsequently experienced burial compact diagensis, meteoric diagensis and weathering diagensis following the strata uplifting. The development of stylolite with good porosity and permeability is favour of fluids movement in the subsurface and is an important factor to the development of karst in Middle-Lower Ordovician.
