“…Antecedent topography inherited from the preceding depositional or tectonic regime may favour the formation of low-gradient relief, and hence the configuration and size of carbonate ramps (Burchette & Wright, 1992), but may also predetermine the initialization of distal steepening (e.g. Seyedmehdi, George & Tucker, 2016).…”

The Early to Late Triassic development of a carbonate ramp system in the subtropical belt of the NW Tethys was controlled by the interplay of several global and regional factors: geotectonic setting (slow continuous subsidence on a passive continental margin), antecedent topography (low-gradient relief inherited from preceding depositional regime), climate and oceanography (warm and dry climatic conditions, storm influence), relative sea-level changes (Olenekian to Anisian eustatic rise, middle Anisian to early Carnian sea-level fall), lack of frame-builders (favouring the maintenance of ramp morphology), and carbonate production (abundant formation of lime mud, non-skeletal grains and marine cements, development of diverse biota controlled by biological evolution and environmental conditions). Elevated palaeorelief affected the ramp initialization on a local scale, while autogenic processes largely controlled the formation of peritidal cyclicity during the early stage of ramp retrogradation. Probably fault-driven differential subsidence caused a local distal steepening of the ramp profile in middle–late Anisian time. The generally favourable conditions promoted long-term maintenance of homoclinal ramp morphology and accumulation of carbonate sediments having great maximum thickness (~500 m). Shutdown of the carbonate factory and demise of the ramp system in the early Carnian resulted from relative sea-level fall and subsequent emergence. After a period of subaerial exposure with minor karstification, the deposition of continental quartz arenites suggests the possible effect of the Carnian Pluvial Episode.

Abundant hybrid sediments composed of clastic rocks and carbonate rocks were deposited in the Devonian Yangmaba Formation in the northwestern of Sichuan Basin. Based on the measurement of the Ganxi section in detail, combined with the observation of the 30 slices, the hybrid facies, and hybrid sequence, the hybrid deposit mechanism and its controlling factors of the Yangmaba Formation were analyzed. It shows that the hybrid facies consists of the hybrid shore at the lower and clastic hybrid shelf and carbonate hybrid shelf deposits at the middle-upper of the Yangmaba Formation. The hybrid sequence, which can be divided into four sedimentary system tracts: the shelf-margin systems tract (SMST), the transgressive system tract (TST), the early highstand systems tract (EHST), and the late highstand systems tract (LHST), was developed in the Yangmaba Formation. There are three hybrid mechanisms including punctuated mixing, facies mixing, and in situ mixing, and the first two are the main types in the Yangmaba Formation. The punctuated mixing and in situ mixing are the main hybrid mechanisms of hybrid shore and clastic hybrid shelf deposits, and the facies mixing is the main hybrid mechanism of clastic hybrid shelf and carbonate hybrid shelf deposits. The hybrid mechanisms are different among the system tracts: the punctuated mixing is the main mixing manner in the SMST and LHST and the facies mixing developed in the TST and EHST. Storm action is the most important controlling factor of punctuated mixing of the Yangmaba Formation. Relative sea level change, carbonate productivity or the rate of terrestrial clastic supply, and climate change are factors that control and affect hybrid deposits. SMST and HST are mainly related to changes in the relative sea level, while TST is controlled by sedimentary source recharge, and climate change affects the hybrid action of system tracts to varying degrees.
