Abstract:The Lower Permian Fengcheng Formation of the Mahu Sag is one of the most potentially petroliferous sequences in China, and its unique alkaline lacustrine deposits provide important information on the paleoclimate and paleoenvironment of the early Permian. However, because of the complexity of the heterogeneous lithology and sedimentary facies in lacustrine deposits, the lateral correlation of lithofacies becomes challenging. Using cyclostratigraphy, we conducted a detailed astronomical cycle analysis of the Lo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
