摘要
In this paper,lithologic characteristics,sedimentary facies and paleoenvironment of Wuqiangxi Formation,Guzhang area,Northwestern Hunan province are researched through detailed field and laboratory observations.The results show that,the fast transient regression was happened in later Tongtawan stage,and then the sea level rise slowly begin at earlier Wuqiangxi stage,and formed three plot discontinuities of fluvial facies,river plain facies and delta front facies from bottom to the top at about 800 Ma.And to the northwestern side of Yangtze ancient continent the age of strata become newer which in turn overlies and got into the"wedge formation".Stratigraphic correlation shows that Zhangjiawan Formation of adjacent area and Wuqiangxi Formation are deposited in the same sedimentary system inroughly the same period,and sediments reflect that paleocurrent main direction from northwest to southeast,water gradually deepened from northwest to southeast.
