ABSTRACT
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.
