GRAVITY FLOW DEPOSITS IN THE LAGONGTANG FORMATION OF THE KANGYU REGION,XIZANG

A complex suite of gravity flow deposits in the Lagongtang Formation is well devel-oped in the Middle and Late Jurassic strata in the Kangyu region,Xizang.These gravity flow deposits consist of the grain flow,debris flow and turbidity current deposits,and may be interpreted as the products of rockfall,slumping mass flow and turbidity currents trig-gered by faulting in the bathyal-abyssal (slope-basin floor) environments.
