Abstract:

The continental slope is the key zone connecting the shallow platform and the deep basin. It is of the feature of thick slope margin sediments including huge rock blocks. There was active carbonate continental slope sedimentation in the Middle Triaassic in south Guizhou, and according to their characteristics, the slopes could be divide into sedimentary margins and bypass margins. They were chiefly controlled by violent and non-uniform faulting. On different slopes there were obvious differences between the signs of the sedimentation.

Key words: Continental slope, Sedimentary margins, By-pass margins
