Abstract

The recognition and interpretation for sedimentary sequence of carbonate rocks, especially for high resolution sequence, are the major objective of modern carbonate sedimentology. On the basis of scientific and reasonable sampling of cores and outcrops, thin-section criteria provide hints to water paleodepth. Microfacies criteria are able to effectively recognize and interpret not only sequence boundaries such as exposure and subaerial surfaces, drowning unconformities, transgressive surfaces, maximum flooding surfaces which are important to the development of a third-order sequence-stratigraphic framework, but also different kinds of parasequences.
