Abstract
Carbonates, Reefs and Evaporites
The Earliest Bioherm of the Devonian in Guangxi, China
Abstract
Study on the Devonian sedimentary facies in Guangxi reveals that it may be plotted to three facies areas: shoreface clastic area, carbonate platform area and inter-land sea trough. The carbonate platform facies developed after the late early Emsian Stage and was accompanied by the development of small bioherms. Subsequently patch-reefs developed intermittently at the edges of the platform. The bioherms and patch reefs discussed in this paper were the earliest small reefs which developed in the Devonian Sea of Guangxi. Two bioherms and one patch-reef have been discovered. One bioherm is situated at Meng-gung (Guixian county); it consists of Favosites and tabular corals, its frame is 2–45 cm high, lenticular in shape, 50-150 cm in diameter. The other is the Hanshan coral-stromatoporoid bioherm from Longlin county. The patch reef which has the most typical character is located at Qinjia, Debao county (, ).
