SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHICAL STUDY OF THE TOURNAISIAN STRATA IN BELGIUM AND SOUTHERN CHINA

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Strata of late Devonian and Tournaisian age in Belgium and Southern China were studied sedimentologically. This detailed study integrated into a biostratigraphical framework, based on foraminiferal zona-tion, allowed the construction of a sequence stratigraphical model for both areas. Based on these models a correlation on the scale of third order sequences between these two widely separated depositional environments can be made. This indicates the eustatic nature of the sea-level changes that caused the sedimentological changes during the Tournaisian.
