  • The Cambrian paleogeography in south Ch ina can be divided into Yangtze platform, platform margin slope (including upper slo pe and lower slope) and basin. The carbonate gravity deposits are well developed there, particularly in the Yangtze platform adjacent areas. This paper mainly d eals with declivity fan characters of the Chefu age in Fenghuang adjacent areas, western Hunan Province. According to their distribution and thickness, three ma in declivity fans have been divided in the study areas, namely, Dama (∈c dsf), Machong (∈c msf) and Huangheyuan (∈c hsf) declivity fans. Each fan's charac ters are described in detail in this paper. Based on their distribution range, s cale and fossiliferous layers, two peak periods (fair developmental period) are distinguished: (1) Linguagnostus reconditus Zone (time), and (2) Glyptagnostus reticulatus Zone (time). They were characterized by huge thick limestone breccia layers (single layer 3-4 m thick) and closely spaced spread. Besides, th ere are also two developmental periods: (1) Lejopyge laevigata-Proagnostus bulbus Zone (time), and (2) Agnostus inexpectans-Proceratopyge protracta Zone (time) to Erixanium Zone (time) to Corynexochus plumula-Sinoproceratopyge cf. kiangshanensis Zone (time), while Glyptagnostus stolidotus Zone (time) was an interstitial period (without or rare limestone breccias). All t hese features may verify the relative movement of the earth crust and paleoclima te variety of the Chefu age in the study areas.
