Based on the deep investigation in the Kuruktag—Konqi River outcrop area and the Tarim basin, especially the recognition of deep-water sediments, frameworks of stratigraphic and sedimentary facies are established in this paper.

Genesis of the Guanyinqiao Member of Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation in southern China:"Shallow water shelly facies" or deep-water allogenic deposition?;

History,status and prospect of study on deep-water traction current deposits;

Nodular limestones of Hanguletag formation in the Kuruktag are part of a type of warty sedimentary sequence.

On the basis of a new development of the theory of internal waves, the generation mechanism of the deep water sediment waves by the action of internal waves are studied in consideration of the hydrodynamics of internal wave deposition.
