According to the author’s study, 12 types of fab-ric can be recognized in recent and ancient reefs. The author suggests that reefal rocks canbe classified into 12 fabric-rock-types according to their fabric, and that reefs can be dividedinto different fabric-facies according to their fabric. The fabric-facies analysis of reefs isthe basis for understanding the sedimentary environment, porosity evolution, reservoir charac-teristics, distribution and development of reefs.展开更多

Compared with methods based on non-reefal deposits, these methods are more accurate in restoration of original sediment thickness, determination of sediment-loading subsidence, as well as restoration of ancient water depth. According to the reef in Guangxi, China, the amplitude of sea-level rise during Middle Permian (Neoschwagerina-Yabeina zone) is 249.5 m. According to the coeval reef of the Guadalupe Mountains, New Mexico and Texas, the coeval sea-level rise is 247 m. With these effective methods available, it is feasible to establish more accurate eustatic curve of Phanerozoic.展开更多
