摘要

Abstract

Two depositional processes controlled the muddy sediments in the South China Sea Basin. Bathyal sediments depositional rate was 7.66 cm/ka in the northern continental slope of the Basin where turbidity current was almost nonexistent. In the northern margin of the Basin

abyssal sediment depositional rate was 5.05 cm/ka and turbidity current occurrence averaged 0.22 per 1000 years. Turbidite was found in the middle of the Basin. Over half of the muddy sediments in the deep sea basin were deposited by turbidity currents

and had typically graded bedding

and contents of organic matter

calcareous material and micropaleontologic species inconsistent with the environment.
