Abstract: Based on abundant information of gamma-ray curves, combining wavelet analysis with fast Fourier transform, the Milankovitch cycle and its thickness of Cretaceous in Wushi sag is identified using frequency spectral analysis, then the sedimentation rates of each layer of Cretaceous in studied area are precisely calculated. The results show that the thickness of sedimentary cycle caused by eccentricity cycle ranges from 8.70 m to 13.89 m; the thickness of it caused by obliquity cycle from 3.01 m to 5.88 m; the one of it by precession cycle from1.28 mto 2.44 m, and the average sedimentation rate of Cretaceous strata fromfour sampling wells is 0.093 78 mm/a.
