Use of Sediment Dynamic Analysis in Environment Interpretation: 
A Case Study on Honghuatao Formation, Upper Cretaceous
of Western Jianghan Basin, Hubei Province

Abstract

Abstract:

The grain size analysis of fifteen specimens from Honghuatao Formation in Dangyang area at the northwestern
boundary of Jianghan basin shows that their average diameters, sorting coefficients, skew coefficients and kurtosis coefficients
are mainly in the same range, and they bear similar frequency curves of grain size with double peaks and similar probability
cumulative curves with an obvious pattern of three segments. Basing on this and referring to the equation of sedimentary dynamics,
comparative analysis was done by both hydrodynamic concept and aeolian force concept in this article. A conclusion was drawn
that the genesis of sands in the Honghuatao Formation at the northwestern boundary of Jianghan basin was aeolian deposit, locally
influenced by broken streams.

Key words: grain-size analysis, sedimentary dynamics, sedimentary facies, genesis of sand, Jianghan basin
