Abstract:In the Middle Ordovician, a ramp carbonate platform was developed in the Shuntuoguole Low Uplift, Tarim Basin. The depositional facies and sequence stratigraphy were investigated using petrographic observations and Fischer plot analyses to clarify the evolution and distribution of depositional facies within the sequence stratigraphic framework of the Yijianfang Formation. Nine types of microfacies (MF1–MF9) were identified in seven environments on a ramp: (a) peritidal, (b) lagoon, (c) low‐energy bioclastic sh… Show more
