湖北松滋下三叠统大冶组主要为一套深水碳酸盐岩,与下伏上二叠统长兴组灰色中厚层状灰岩呈整合接触,它以深水原地沉积为主,夹有深水异地沉积.深水原地沉积以深灰色薄层泥晶灰岩和页岩互层为主,异地沉积以浊流沉积和碎屑流沉积为主.浊流沉积鲍玛层序C、D、E段发育,以粉屑灰岩、泥晶灰岩为主;碎屑流沉积以泥晶砾屑灰岩为主.其岩相类型有泥晶灰岩(M1)、泥晶粉屑灰岩(M2)、泥晶砾屑灰岩(M3)、泥页岩(C1),可组合为盆地-盆地边缘相(M1+C1)、下斜坡亚相、上斜坡亚相(M1或M1+M3)、开阔台地相(M1+C1)四种组合.从早三叠世早期到晚期,水体逐渐变浅,但总体表现为深水沉积环境.

Sedimentation of Lower Triassic Daye deep-water carbonate rock at Songzi indicates a deep water environment in general although sea water was getting shallow during early-late Lower Triassic period. Daye rock contacts conformably with the underlying Upper Permian Changxing layered limestone. It contains deep-water autochthonous thin micritic limestone interbedded with shale and deep-water allochthonous turbidity and clastic current deposits. 4 groups and 3 associations of lithofacies are classified.
