Four formations in the Sinian belong to glacial deposits in which the differences in d 13C are distinct (14.7‰—+4.2‰). Distinctly negative d 13C excursions for three times support the view of three glacial deposits in this area suggested by previous authors, except for the durations of them. d 13C values are generally positive in the Beiyixi Formation of lower part of the Lower Sinian, representing probably the rock records of a continental rift related to break-up of the Rodinian supercontinent. There are three times of distinct excursions of d 13C curve in all strata. The first one is from positive values at the bottom to about -5‰ at the top of the Beiyixi Formation. The second one, from 0‰—3‰ in the Arletonggou Formation of upper part of the Lower Sinian to 3.4‰— 14.4‰ in the Teruiaiken Formation. The third one, from positive values in the Zhamoketi Formation of lower part of the Upper Sinian to negative values in glacial varves at the top of the Hankeerqiaoke Formation.展开更多
