Cyclic Sequences and Depositional Systems in the Upper Cretaceous-Eogene of Southwest Tarim Basin

Abstract: Seven types high frequency cyclic sequences which have been distinguished in the Upper Cretaceous-Eogene marine carbonate of the southwest Tarim Basin are mainly as follows: undertidal carbonate ramp, platform, platform margin earbonate cyclic sequences and tidal flat cyclic equences which are clas-tic rock mainly. In the region, different kinds of high frequency cyclic sequences represented sedimenta-ry sequences of platform, shore bank and alluvial depositional system which deposited in specific paleo-geographic setting. In the vertical sections, high frequency cyclic sequences stacked upward, in which changing of the kinds of cyclic sequence reflects the evolution of sedimentary enviroment and facies. As a result, in the study area, high frequency sea level change affected on the sedimentary facies changes from the lower unit to the upper unit of high frequency cyclic sequence, and controlled the deposit pro-cession of cyclic sequence. The long periodic sea level changes controlled the stacking patterns of high frequency cyclic sequences, and made the sedimentary environment change from shore bank→carbonate platform→shorebank→river. In a word, stacking of different hierarchy of sea level changes resulted in cyclic sequences of composite sealevel change in the Upper Cretaceous-Eogene of the southwest border, Tarim Basin.
