Abstract:Kunyang rift located on the western margin of Yangtze platform is tectonically equivalent to East Africa rift where there exist modern carbonatite volcanos. Guantianchang sector, through which a NE-trending concealed deep fault passes, is just located on the western edge of Wuding sea basin in the middle part of the rift. Therefore, the prerequisite for the formation of carbonatite volcanos exists there. Daqing subtype cupreous dolomite contains several kinds of igneous minerals frequently found in carbonatite such as albite, oligoclase, biotite, phlogopite, arfvedsonite (Guantian), zircon, rutile, fluor-apatite, in addition to plenty of trachytic-trachyandesitic volcaniclastic substances. The primary dolomites were igneous too. Rock constituents were derived from carbonatite once existent there, so rocks show textures and structures of carbonatite lava and volcaniclastic rocks. Therefore, they are a suite of carbonatite volcanic rocks, which include lava and volcaniclastic rocks. The magma that formed them originated from the mantle, and flew from craters to depressions to accumulate and form rocks. Stratified in form, the rocks lie from the upper part of Yinmin Formation (Pt 2y) to the bottom of Luoxie Formation (Pt2 l) and are in conformable contact with the overlying and underlying marine facies sedimentary rocks and stratiform volcaniclastic rocks. The rocks are associated with a suite of Na-rich alkaline rocks, equivalent to being associated with oceanic carbonatite. This suggests that they were formed in a submarine environment. Influenced by sea water, they extensively experienced chloritization, epidotization, silicification and limonitization with darkened rims of biotite.
