REEF BUILDING MODEL OF PERMIAN SPONGE REEFS IN SOUTH CHINA

The Permian organic reefs, most of them belong to sponge reefs, which are widely developed in the carbonate platform areas of the South China. In view of the fact that many researchers study the reef building model of the sponge reefs from the outer reef building environmental factors, the authors studied and analyzed in this paper the inner reef building factors, which are biological and ecological features, buried and preserved properties of calcisponges and calcareous algae being of main reef building organisms. And then we suggest the algae sponge's reef building process or model of the Permian sponge reefs in the South China. This model is different from that of the other organic reefs in the geological history.
