  • Figure  1.  Location of the study area (red rectangle) in the Qiongdongnan Basin (black dashed line boundary), northern South China Sea (insert) (modified from Lei and Ren (2016), Cao et al. (2015) and Jiang et al. (2013)). The elevation data were derived from Tozer et al. (2019). Moreover, the deep-water well data were derived from Lei and Ren (2016).

    Figure  2.  Simplified stratigraphic, age, and lithological column information characterizing the Qiongdongnan Basin (modified from Jiang et al. (2013) and Cheng et al. (2021)). The sedimentation rate series was derived from Zhao et al. (2018). The sea level curves were derived from Zhao et al. (2018), Li (2009) and Haq et al. (1987).

    Figure  3.  Sequential stratigraphy of the Qiongdongnan Basin, modified from Cheng et al. (2021) (the section location is shown in Fig. 1).

    Figure  4.  Characteristics of the sedimentation period of the Yinggehai Formation in the study area: paleo-topographic map of Horizon T30 (a); coherence slice of Horizon T31 (b); and seismic reflection features (c).

    Figure  5.  Time structure diagram of the T30 Interface. Bottom current direction modified from Li et al. (2018c).

    Figure  6.  Seismic reflection characteristics of the Yinggehai Formation depression landforms in the study area (section location shown in Fig. 4a).

    Figure  7.  Root mean square (RMS) amplitude map between Horizon T27 and 40 ms above Horizon T27 (a); RMS amplitude map between Horizon T40 and 40 ms above Horizon T40 (b); paleo-topographic map of Horizon T40 (c) (source direction from Xiong et al. (2021)); planar distributions of sedimentary systems between Horizons T27 and T20 (d) (source direction modified from Cheng et al. (2022)); characteristics of the Late Middle Miocene on the seismic profiles (e). See d for the location of e. MTDs: mass-transport deposits.

    Figure  8.  Typical section structures of meteorite craters (a, b) (modified from Keerthy et al. (2019)); Xiuyan meteorite craters (c) (modified from Wang et al. (2013)); typical channel section structures (d, e) (modified from Tian et al. (2017)); and high-curvature channel deposits (f) (modified from Mayall et al. (2006)).

    Figure  9.  The evolution model of the giant ancient pockmarks in the Qiongdongnan Basin. Overpressure built up, and deep fluids accumulated in the channel sands (a); the fluid in the channel sands escaped following accumulation, forming near-circular ancient pockmarks on the seafloor (b); affected by bottom-current erosion, these ancient pockmarks were transformed into different shapes (c); and the overlying effective capping prevented the ancient pockmarks from developing in multiple stages, causing the pockmarks to be buried in the stratum (d).

    Figure  10.  Slight leakage of deep-formation fluids, most of which reacted with seabed sediments to form carbonate precipitation, while a few reacted with seawater and failed to break through the hydrosphere (a); intense deep-formation fluid leakage, most of which broke through the hydrosphere and entered the atmosphere, while a small part reacted with the seawater and seafloor sediments (b) (redrawn after Katz et al. (1999) and Dickens (2003)).

    Figure  11.  Reconstructed records of atmospheric CO2 concentrations from different metrics ranging from 7.5 Ma to 4.0 Ma (redrawn after Wei and Tian (2022); dates are referenced from Sosdian et al. (2018) and Breecker and Retallack. (2014)).
