“…Meanwhile, the presence of the iron oxide veins can be due to the large amount of solved oxygen, proving the shallowness of this environment. Therefore, one can conclude that this microfacies belongs to a sandy beach [10] [11]. Moreover, mature petrofacies to supermature quartzarenite confirm the high tidal current regimes [12].…”

“…The grain-size scale and the sedimentary rocks were identified according to the classifications of Udden (1914), Wentworth (1922) and Pettijohn et al (1972), respectively; the roundness of the grains followed the categories of Pettijohn et al (1987); the lithofacies were described following Miall's concept (Miall 1977(Miall , 1978(Miall , 2006.…”

Abstract:The Hoanh Bo Basin is a multiple period formed basin which is associated with the tectonic mechanism due to the activity of the Chi Linh-Hon Gai and Trung Luong Faults during the late Paleogene -early Neogene time. The basin is filled with continental sediments, comprising mainly polymictic conglomerates, sandstones, siltstones, claystones and shales. Coarser-grained polymictic deposits predominate along the northern and western margins of the basin, while different types of siltstones, claystones, even sandstones occur in its center, as well as along its southern and eastern parts toward the Ha Long Bay. The source rocks for sedimentary materials are mainly originated from rocks of the Hon Gai and Ha Coi Formations.Based on the dominant grain-size class, texture, stratification, degree of clast rounding and sorting, 17 lithofacies were determined in the Hoanh Bo Basin infill. The basin is filled by gravelly, sandy and fine-grained lithofacies just covers a modest area but it represents a full of succession of 4 depositional systems including alluvial fan, fluvial, deltaic and lacustrine environments. Alluvial fan and fluvial environments are characterized by an assemblage of lithofacies such as sand-and mud-supported disorganized breccias (Gb), clast-to sand-supported conglomerates (Gmm), clast-supported inverse-graded conglomerates (Gig), planar-cross-bedded conglomerates (Gp), trough cross-bedded conglomerates (Gt), horizontally stratified conglomerates (Gh), planar cross-bedded sandstones (Sp), trough cross-bedded sandstones (St), ripple cross-laminated sandstones (Sr), horizontally bedded sandstones (Sh), massive sandstones (Sm), massive mudstones, siltstones (Fsm), laminated siltstones and mudstones (Fl), massive claystones (Fm) and coaly lithofacies (C); the deltaic assemblage is dominated by planar-cross-bedded conglomerates (Gp), horizontally stratified conglomerates (Gh), planar cross-bedded sandstones (Sp), horizontally bedded sandstones (Sh), low-angle cross-bedded sandstones (Sl); while the lacustrine assemblage consists of ripple cross-laminated sandstones (Sr), horizontally bedded sandstones (Sh), normally graded sandstones (Sng), massive mudstones, siltstones (Fsm), laminated siltstones and mudstones (Fl), massive claystones (Fm) and coaly lithofacies (C).

“…There have been many researches on the relationship between detrital composition of sandstone and tectonic settings of a provenace region (e.g. Dickinson & Suczek 1979, Ingersoll & Suczek 1979, Dickinson & Valloni 1980, Valloni & Mezzadri 1984, Pettijohn et al 1987. Some works have shown that compositonal variations indicate a change of depostional environments and climate condition (Suttner 1974, Mack 1984, while others considered a change of composition connected with the role of relative sea-level fluctuation (Zuffa 1985, Morton et al 1991, Johsson & Basu 1993, Zuffa et al 1995.…”

Abstract:The Hoanh Bo Basin has developed over multiple periods since the Miocene period in association with the tectonic activity of the Chi Linh-Hon Gai and Trung Luong Faults. The basin is filled with Neogene continental sediments, comprising mainly polymictic conglomerates, sandstones, siltstones, claystones, and shales. Coarser-grained polymictic deposits predominate along the northern and western margins of the basin, whereas different types of siltstones, claystones, and sandstones occur in its centre, as well as along its southern and eastern parts, toward the Ha Long Bay. The conglomerates and sandstones are composed mainly of quartz and sedimentary rock fragments, and a small amount of mica. Cement is mainly built of iron-oxide, clay or carbonate mud. The source area for the Hoanh Bo Basin sediments was located in the close vicinity of the basin. It was built of strongly weathered rocks of the Hon Gai, Ha Coi, Cat Ba Formations.
