摘要:

雅丹地层是雅丹地貌发育前整个沉积体系的物质体现,记录了沉积过程中的大量信息,而沉积物分析则是解读其关键信息的基础。以敦煌雅丹地貌为研究对象,对其出露地层的沉积物粒度特征进行了初步研究。结果表明:(1) 敦煌雅丹地层沉积物粒径组成以粉沙为主,平均含量分别为41.08%(YA)、36.82%(YB)和35.41%(YC),自东向西含量递减,并含有较高比重的粗沙组分,空间变化趋势与粉沙相反。(2) 雅丹地层沉积物粒径组成和粒度参数纵向变化特征显著,剖面沉积段物质以粗(中沙、细沙为主)细(粉沙、黏土为主)旋回变化为特征,交界面与雅丹三级阶梯相吻合。(3) 雅丹地层是不同沉积环境和动力机制下形成的多种沉积物混杂堆积的结果,主要为风成、河流和湖泊环境交替沉积的结果,其中河流与湖泊沉积环境的亚环境类型更是复杂多样,有待进一步的深入研究。

Abstract:

The yardang strata is the material manifestation of the sedimentary system before the yardang landform developed. It collects a large amount of data about the deposition process, and sediment analysis is the foundation for interpreting its key findings. The research object in this paper is the Dunhuang yardang landforms in the Dunhuang Yardang Geopark, Gansu Province of northwest China and it is a preliminary study on the grain-size characteristics of the exposed strata sediments. The results indicated that: (1) The grain-size composition of Dunhuang yardang strata sediments is dominated by silt, with an average content of 41.08% (profile YA), 36.82% (profile YB), and 35.41% (profile YC), and its content decreases from east to west. It also contains coarse sand components with higher specific gravity, and the spatial change trend is the inverse of that of silty sand. (2) There are considerably vertical changes in the grain-size composition and parameters of the yardang strata, which are characterized by the alternation of coarse sand (primarily medium and fine sand) and fine sand (mainly silt and clay). Meanwhile, the interface is highly consistent with the shape of yardang’s three-level ladder. (3) The yardang stratum is the result of the mixed accumulation of various sediments formed under different sedimentary environments and dynamic mechanisms. It is primarily the result of alternate aeolian, fluvial, and lacustrine deposition. The subenvironmental types of fluvial and lacustrine sedimentary environments are the most complex and diverse, necessitating extensive research.
