Abstract: | The tempestite bearing sediments of the Moheershan formation can be divided into three orders of cycles-Ⅰ、Ⅱa nd Ⅲ in the Kuruktag,Xinjiang.Three of Ⅱ order cycles are made up of oneⅠ order cycle and each of Ⅱ order cycle contains several Ⅲ order cycles.There are four types of tempestite which are autochthonous coarse grain limestone,allochthonous coarse grain limestone,turbidite and hummocky cross-stratification limestone.The differences between the tempestites and the associations within each cycle can reflect the changes of environments.The cycles of tempestites of Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ orders are corresponded to the sea level changes of the certain orders |
