The Dengyingxia Stage (Late Precambrian) in South China is a marine carbonate sedimentary stage with extensively developed dolostones. The primary dolostones precipitated directly from sea water are developed in the middle unit of Dengying Formation and their primary texture are reserved well. The δ13C and δ18O values have been determined from 40 samples of primary dolomites (dolostones): 13C=3.64‰ and δ18O=-1.17‰ (n=6) for micrite dolomites; δ13C=3.52‰ and δ18O=-1.86‰ (n=15) for algae dolostones; δ13C=2.90‰ and δ18O=-2.65‰ (n=8) for fibrous dolomite cements; δ13C=2.96‰ and δ18O=-2.41‰ (n=8) for bladed dolomite cements; δ13C=2.79‰ and δ18O=-3.13‰ (n=3) for micrite lamella and fibrous dolomite cements. The average δ13C and δ18O values of all 40 samples are 3.25‰±0.44‰ and -2.12‰±0.98‰ respectively (PDB standard). The heaviest δ13C and δ18O values in overlap ping area of the values of the primary dolomite sediments and the cements in diagram, δ13C=4.43‰ [JP](PDB) and δ18O=-0.62‰ (PDB), has been determined as the primary carbon and oxygen isotope composition of the Dengyingxia marine carbonate. The δ18O value of sea water of Dengyingxia Age is 2.90‰(SMOW) calculated based on the salinity of the inclusion in primary dolomite cement. The temperature of sea water at that time is 40.8 ℃ calculated on the basis of the primary δ18O value. It indicates that hot climate and high temperature existed in Dengyingxia Age in South China.
