Microfacies
Description
Mf1
Oolitic grainstone
Grains are ooids of about 0.4 mm in size. The ooids underwent intense alteration, with the internal retained core clearly visible, while the laminated shell underwent dissolution and was filled with calcite (Figure 2(a)).
Mf2
Intraclast grainstone
Grains are mainly sand-sized intraclasts with amounts of algal spherical, which are better sorted and more uniform in size. And a very small amount of fine spherical mortar is filled in the middle (Figure 2(b)).
Mf3
Bioclastic grainstone
Most of grains in the rock are bioclastic with relatively large individuals, and the substrate is a granular colloid of sparry calcite (Figure 2(c)).
Mf4
Bioclastic intraclast grainstone
Internal debris particles range from 0.1 to 0.35 mm, with some grinding rounding, and the particles consist of mud crystal calcite with >70% content (Figure 2(d)).
Mf5
Peloid packstone
Peloids are the most abundant components, generally dominated by bright crystal cementation. The spherical particles are 0.1 mm in diameter, fine and uniform in size, mainly as tiny rounded mud crystal fragments (Figure 2(e)).
Mf6
Bioclastic wackestone
Most grains are silt-sized intraclasts, peloids, and bioclasts, including ostracodes, bryozoans, and algae (Figure 2(f)).
Mf7
Boundstone
Blue algae boundstone, wackestone, and mudstone with a laminar and bounded structure. Fenestral pores are common (Figure 2(g)).
Mf8
Mudstone
The rocks are mainly composed of microcrystalline calcite with a few siliceous particles, thin-bedded structure (Figure 2(h)).
Mf9
Micritic dolostone
This microfacies mainly consists of fine dolomite, basically no internal particles or raw chips inside (Figure 2(i)).
