摘要: 河流在洪水期携带大量陆源碎屑,当其入湖或入海后,由于洪水密度大于周围水体的密度,洪水发生下沉并沿盆地底部长距离运移,形成陆源下潜流或异重流。异重流形成的相关沉积岩被统称为异重岩。异重岩通常由一个底部的反粒序单元和一个顶部的正粒序单元组成,反粒序单元反映了异重流能量的逐渐增强,正粒序反映了流体能量的逐渐减弱。异重流以3种方式搬运碎屑颗粒,即底载搬运、悬浮搬运和漂浮搬运。根据搬运方式的不同,异重岩分为3类岩相,即底载成因的B类岩相、悬载成因的S类岩相和漂浮物成因的L类岩相。异重流的沉积充填形成了河道、堤岸和朵叶体3类微相,内部岩相变化极为发育。异重岩的沉积特征虽然典型且较易识别,但是常被误认为是砂质碎屑流、滨岸相、三角洲相或河流相沉积。

Abstract: Flooding river discharges a sediment-water mixture having a bulk density that often exceeds that of the water in the receiving water body. Consequently,when these flows enter a marine or lacustrine basin they plunge and move basinward as a land-derived underflow or hyperpycnal flow. Deposits related to hyperpycnal flows are hyperpycnites. Some fine hyperpycnites are composed of an inversely graded(waxing flow)basal unit,followed in transition by a normally graded(waning flow)unit.Three main facies families related to the three main elements that govern the movement of almost all sustained hyperpycnal discharges in marine settings:bedload,suspended load and lofting. These facies categories are here termed as B(bedload related sedimentary facies),S(suspended-load related sedimentary facies)and L(lofting related sedimentary facies). Hyperpycnites include three kinds of depositional elements:channel fill,lobes and levee deposits. Although hyperpycnites display typical and diagnostic characteristics that allow a clear recognition,these deposits are often misinterpreted in the literature as sandy debrites,shoreface,estuarine of fluvial deposits.

Key words: hyperpycnal flows, hyperpycnites, turbulent flow, deep water sedimentary, Neuquén Basin, Ordos Basin, Songliao Basin, Siberian Basin
