  • In this study, the Miocene carbonate sequence stratigraphy and sedimentary cycle of Nankang platform and L-structure in Zengmu basin are analyzed by using drilling, seismic and some palaeontologic data, and the sequence pattern of Miocene carbonate in the study area is established. The results show that three large-scale carbonate sedimentary cycles occurred during Mid to Late Miocene (5.3-16 Ma) in Zengmu basin, so the strata can be subdivided into three Tertiary sequences (SQ1, SQ2 and SQ3 sequences). SQ1 and SQ3 sequences are defined as the classical type I carbonate sequences, which are composed of dense algal limestone in low-stand system tracts (LST), argillaceous limestone in transgressive system tracts (TST) and coral limestone in high-stand system tracts (HST). And their properties indicate that the carbonate buildups have experienced a process from open marine platform facies to reef flat facies. Being different form SQ1 and SQ3 sequences, SQ2 sequences belong to the drowned unconformity type of carbonate sequences. This kind of carbonate sequences is marked by the successions consisted of argillaceous limestone of condensed sequence (CS) and coral limestone (or clastic limestone) of HST. And its development generally occurred during the phase of continuous decrease of sea level.
