A grain size analysis of a single lamina within fine-grained sedimentary rocks is an effective method to reveal its hydrodynamics. In this study, taking the clastic particle content as a parameter, the laminae of fine-grained rocks in the Permian Lucaogou Formation in the southern Junggar Basin are...
