Abstract:The Cambrian Terreneuvian Yuertusi Formation of the Tarim Basin, regarded as a potential hydrocarbon source rock (TOCmax = 29.8 wt%), preserves the record of the Ediacaran to Cambrian Series 2 transition. This study presents a high-resolution multi-proxy investigation of the Sugaitebulake and Yutixi sections of the NW Tarim Basin. Evidence of hydrothermal activity and euxinic conditions in the earliest Cambrian has been delineated by samples from the lower part of the Yuertusi Formation group A, featured by we… Show more
