Abstract: The study of mineralogical-petrologic and geochemical characteristics of Ordovician dolomite in Wellblock Zhong-1 in northwestern Tazhong area shows that it is composed of dolosiltite, dolomicritein, spotty dolomite, replacement dolomite related with stylolite, baroque dolomite and sugar granular dolomite (dolorudite), characterized by mosaic, mist-core with bright rim, metasomatic and zonal diagenetic textures, reflecting buried diagenetic environment under these different media, with relatively low Sr of 161 ×10-6, relatively high Na of 0.09%; δ13C of -2.0‰ and δ18O of -6.8‰ in average, which indicate its nature of both buried dolomite and quasicogenetic diagenesis. The fluid inclusion study shows that the buried and dolomitized fluid is bittern with mid-high temperature of 115~130℃ and 170~210℃ and high salinity of 5%~7%, 8%~9% and 12%~13%. It is concluded that such a dolomite belongs to diagenetic dolomite and associated quasi-cogenetic dolomite in supratidal and intertidal zones.
