摘　　要：小型不对称分叉波痕(简称分叉波痕)发现于桂林杨堤剖面上泥盆统弗拉斯阶linguiformis牙形石带,桂林碳酸盐台地东南缘斜坡相钙质浊积岩鲍马序列C段。波长7.5～8.0cm,波高0.5～0.8cm,波痕指数15～10;向流面长5.0～7.0cm,背流面长2.5～4.0cm,波痕对称指数2.0～1.8;背流面向东倾;波脊较圆滑、缓曲,且具明显的分叉现象。是浊流流速减缓,密度流转化为牵引流后在低流态条件下,并叠加有推进型风暴浪作用形成的复合成因波痕。根据该波痕和寄主地层特征,推断含分叉波痕的阳朔碳酸盐盆地的最大水深约100m,极限水深小于200m。这一估计值应能代表广西乃至华南板块泥盆纪广泛发育的含牙形石动物群和钙质浊积岩碳酸盐沉积盆地的定量水深,可能也代表了弗拉斯阶—法门阶之交受集群绝灭事件重创的浅水海相生物与基本未受影响的深水海相生物的水深分界线。small asymmetric ripple marks with bifurcation (BRM; were found from the C-section of turbidite with the Bouma sequence in the eastern slope of the Guilin carbonate platform. The BRM are 7. 5-8. 0 cm in wavelength, 0. 5-0. 8 cm in wave-height, 5. 0-7. 0 cm in the length of stoss side and 2. 5-4. 0 cm in the length of lee side. The ripple indices are 15-10 and the ripple symmetry indices are 2. 0-1. 8. The lee sides slope eastwards. The crests of the BRM are rounded and slightly sinuous and are apparently of bifurcation. The BRM were suggested to be formed under the circumstances of the lower regime with following the lowering of the turbidity-current velocity, the transformation density currents into tractive currents and the superimposition of progradational storm-wave. Based on the characteristics of the BRM and host strata, the maximum or limit water-depth of the Yangsuo carbonate basin containing BRM were estimated to be about 100 m or less than 200 m. The estimations may represent the quantitative water-depth of the Devonian carbonate basin containing the calcareous turbidite and conodont fauna, and may be the water depth boundary between the marine deep fauna almost not influenced and the marine shallow water fauna significantly influenced during the Devonian Frasnian - Famennian transitional events.
