Title: Characteristics and depositional model of the sedimentary system at Chang 6 Stage in the south of Ordos Basin,China
Abstract: This paper studies the sedimentary facies characteristics and evolvement of Chang 6 Stage in the southeast of Ordos Basin by lithology,sedimentology,paleontology and geophysics etc..The result indicates that there developed several depositional system types including delta,lake,turbidity current in Chang 6 epoch,and the delta system is the main depositional system.There mainly developed aggradation-adancement deltas,and the turbidity current origins from the collapse of the braided river delta front of the south and west of the basin.In addition,the paper further points out that the delta in the north of the region is a shallow water slow slope type delta and that in the southern side is a deep water steep slope type delta.
