They have been found in many of the coastal belts of Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan Provinces in South China. The grain composition of the dune rocks is mainly quartz sands and shell fragments. The quartz sands are medium and fine sized, relatively well sorted and positively skewed. Their surface texture formed in aeolian environments is characterized ty dishshaped depressions, meniscus depressions and V-shaped depressions with rounded edges. The most common bedding type of the rocks is larg (thickness>1.5m), steeply dipping (32--40°) with cross strata tolaner and convex upward). Mg and Sr contents are very low in the rock chemical composition which is classified into low Mg and low Sr category. The typical species of microfossils in the dune rocks are mainly freshwater ones and lack of typical saltwaer or semi-saltwater ones with incomplete assemblage of marine species. The cement minerals in the rocks are mainly low-Mg calcite and the common cement fabrics are meniscus cement and gravitational cement in response to impermanent water in vadose zones. Therefore, the dune rocks may be apparently distinguished from the beach rocks.展开更多

Hence, porosity of turbidite reservoir lithofacies can be predicted in relation to the spatial distribution of dissolution, kaolinization, and albitization of feldspars and authigenic carbonate precipitation.展开更多
