“…The northern faulted margin depositional systems are proximal systems that include fan deltas and sublacustrine fans associated with storm deposits and turbidites (Li et al ., ; Liu & Wang, ; Feng et al ., ; Wang et al ., , ); the bathymetric gradient was great there. The southern hinged margin was occupied by an extensive shore‐shallow lake system with a low bathymetric gradient (Jiang et al ., ) where large‐scale beach‐bar systems developed (Li et al ., ; Jiang et al ., , ). The axial margin was dominated by fluvial deltas (Jiang et al ., ; Feng et al ., ).…”

“…In addition, Jiang et al . () determined the local palaeowind conditions. Confirmation based on Palaeogene gravelly beach ridges of wind‐wave origin, which are present along the southern margin of this basin, would result in their serving as a valuable quantitative record of palaeowave and palaeowind conditions.…”

Gravelly beach ridges, which are formed solely by swash processes, may accurately reflect past wave conditions. The thickness (or height) of a gravelly beach ridge approximately equals the height of wave inundation, which is the sum of the surge and wave run‐up. Their ancient counterparts, if well‐preserved and identified, can be used to estimate palaeowave conditions, which can later be converted to palaeowind intensities based on wind–wave relationships. A technique is described for estimating the palaeowind speed in this paper, which is referred to as the gravelly beach‐ridge thickness technique. By comparing these estimates with instrumental wind records obtained at a modern lake, Qinghai Lake in north‐western China, the beach‐ridge thickness technique is shown to be useful for estimating the average wind speed (Vavg). When applying this method to ancient fetch‐limited basins, five parameters are necessary: (i) the thickness of the isolated gravelly beach ridge; (ii) the average depth of the water body; (iii) the palaeofetch; (iv) the angle between the palaeowind direction and the normal to the shoreline; and (v) the particle size. This technique was applied to an ancient example in the Eocene Dongying Depression, located in eastern China. The results indicate that the average wind speed of the northern wind ranged between 2·27 m sec−1 and 8·36 m sec−1 from 45·0 Ma to 42·0 Ma, and displayed a generally decreasing trend that included early strengthening followed by weakening and later strengthening during this period. The beach‐ridge thickness technique provides a new perspective on delineating palaeowind conditions and can be applied to ancient fetch‐limited basins with gravelly beach ridges worldwide. Generally, if a water body is sufficiently large (fetch exceeding 40 km), deep (average depth exceeding 10 m) and waves (or winds) are determined to approach the shoreline with high angles (angle of incidence <35°), then the calculation errors will be small to negligible.

“…About 300 Mesozoic-Cenozoic rift basins cover a total area of approximately 2 9 10 6 km 2 . These depressions occur as one of the most important petroliferous basin types in China, and have therefore been the focus of exploration for subtle reservoirs (Xian et al 2007;Wang et al 2014;Jiang et al 2014). The sedimentary systems developed in these rift basins in eastern China, such as the Bohai Bay Basin, the southern part of the North China Basin, the Erlian Basin, and the Ural Basin, tend to form favorable lithologic or structural-lithologic reservoirs, even in the conglomerates and/or sandy conglomerates of the nearshore subaqueous fans that they host (Sui 2003;Zhao et al 2011;Cao et al 2014;Zhang et al 2014a).…”

Sedimentary characteristics and processes of the Paleogene Dainan Formation in the Gaoyou Depression, North Jiangsu Basin, eastern China

In this paper, the type, vertical evolution, and distribution pattern of sedimentary facies of the Paleogene Dainan Formation in the Gaoyou Depression of the North Jiangsu Basin are studied in detail. Results show that fan delta, delta, nearshore subaqueous fan, and lacustrine facies developed during the Dainan Formation period and their distribution pattern was mainly controlled by tectonics and paleogeography. The fan delta and nearshore subaqueous fan facies predominantly occur in the southern steep slope region where fault-induced subsidence is thought to have created substantial accommodation, whereas the delta facies are distributed on the northern gentle slope which is thought to have experienced less subsidence. Finally, the lacustrine facies is shown to have developed in the center of the depression, as well as on the flanks of the fan delta, delta, and nearshore subaqueous fan facies. Vertically, the Dainan Formation represents an integrated transgressiveregressive cycle, with the E 2 d 1 being the transgressive sequence and the E 2 d 2 being the regressive sequence. This distribution model of sedimentary facies plays an important role in predicting favorable reservoir belts for the Dainan Formation in the Gaoyou Depression and similar areas. In the Gaoyou Depression, sandstones of the subaqueous distributary channels in the fan delta and the subaqueous branch channels in the delta are characterized by physical properties favorable for reservoir formation.
