Abstract

This study mainly explores the genesis of regional siliceous dolomite. Previous research was mainly based on petrological observations, conventional elemental analysis, stable isotope analysis, and elemental geochemistry, but the genesis of siliceous rocks is controversial. Based on quantitative analysis of siliceous rocks, this study investigated the source of siliceous dolomite through seismic data, curvature attributes, and paleogeography, and analyzed genetic mechanism of siliceous dolomite. The study found that siliceous dolomite gradually thickens from west to east, with a maximum thickness of 60 meters. Multiple volcanic channels are distributed in the well1 area, which spewed siliceous hot springs. Controlled by the ancient structural background, siliceous hot springs flowed from the high plateau to the low-lying area inside the plateau. Under the action of seawater, siliceous hot springs and dolomite underwent metasomatism to form siliceous dolomite. The innovation of this study lies in the use of multiple methods, such as seismic data, curvature attributes, and paleogeography, to study the genesis of siliceous dolomite. The research results provide new ideas and methods for further exploring the genesis of siliceous rocks.
