Deep-water traction current research is a comparative new domain of sedimentology. China scholars did contribution in this domain and have advantage and peculiarity in it. Deep-water traction current deposits mainly include two types, contour current deposits, internal-wave and internal-tide deposits. Contour current has been studied since the early and middle part of 1960’s. Early research was mainly refers to fine, lamina and small-scale contour current deposits. Now the advanced development have related to broad scale contour lithohermic body of lithoherms research. Internal-wave and internal-tide research began in 1990’s. Early research start with discriminating internal wave and internal tide deposits of small magnitude and now is the stage of study of large-scale sediment waves on deep-sea bottom. The main effort of future contour current research should put on the contour lithoherms in the stratigraphic record, particularly discovering and studying of contour lithoherms made of clasolite. The geologic body of inter-wave and inter-tide that have most mineral value is made of large sedimentary-waves. The first large sedimentary-wave has been discriminated in middle Ordovician system in Tarim Basin and find out it is hydrocarbon potential. View the situation of internal-wave and internal tide, China is likely keep leading in international in this domain.
