中文摘要：

在对江陵凹陷中GK1、GK2、SK3和B103井岩芯进行详细观察的基础上,借助X射线衍射、扫描电镜、薄片鉴定等手段,确认了在古新统有多种盐类矿物存在,并对盐类矿物特征和矿物组合特征进行了分析。江陵凹陷含盐系地层的矿物种类、组合比较简单,目前发现的盐类矿物有碳酸盐、硫酸盐、氯化物三大类。古新统沙市组沉积时期,出现了大量的盐类矿物,主要为石盐、硬石膏、钙芒硝及无水芒硝,此外,应有少量—微量的钾石盐。作为干热指示矿物的钙芒硝和无水芒硝在沙市组广泛发育,可以推断出江陵凹陷在古新统沙市组时期的古气候属于干热型,此时湖水蒸发作用显著增高,导致古盐湖演化程度较高,向干盐湖阶段发展;而到了新沟嘴组沉积时期,发生湖侵,盐湖水体变深、盐度降低,盐湖遭受淡化。初步判断江陵凹陷古近系沙市组具有较好的成钾条件。

英文摘要：

Based on detailed observations and descriptions of GK1, GK2, SK3 and B103＇ s drilling cores in the Jiangling Depression, the authors confirmed the existence of various sorts of salt minerals in Paleocene by such means as X-ray diffraction, SEM and thin section identification, and analyzed the individual and assemblage characteristics of salt minerals. The mineral species and assemblages of salt-bearing strata in the Jiangling Depression are simple, comprising three types, i.e., carbonate, sulfate, and chloride. The sequence of salt precipitation is as follows： （1） calcite ＋ dolomite; （2） gypsum; （3） glauberite; （4） halite to thenardite; （5） sylvite. Plenty of salt minerals have deposited in Shashi Formation, comprising mainly halite, anhydrite and glauberite with minor sylvite, indicating that the water body＇s salinity of depression was increasing notably. As warm facies indicators, glauberite and thenardite are widely developed in Shashi Formation, suggesting that the Paleocene paleoclimate of Shashi Formation in the Jiangling Depression was dry and warm. Therefore, the evolution of the salt lake was at a higher level, and entered inter the stage of playa at that time; then, lake transgression happened in Xingouzui Formation, the water body became less salty and more freshly; subsequently, the precipitation of some salt minerals caused by tectonic movements shallowed the water depth. It is thus preliminarily held that the Pa- leocene Shashi Formation in the Jiangling Depression has fairly favorable potash-forming conditions.
