Early Carboniferous Luzhai Formation developed continuous and thick shales, which is a critical succession for hydrocarbon exploration and production in southern China. However, no high-resolution stratigraphic sequence framework or cyclostratigraphic studies on early Carboniferous (Tournaisian Stage) are available for this organic-rich shale formation. In this research, Milankovitch cycle evidence has been reported in two boreholes of Luzhai Formation in Guizhong Depression. Natural gamma-ray logging data allowed the establishment of a ∼5.9-Myr floating astronomical timescale (FATS) based on stable long eccentricity (405-kyr) cycles in Luzhai Formation. We anchored FATS to Devonian and Carboniferous boundary age (359.3 ± 0.4 Ma), and an absolute timescale for intervals of 359.3 to 353.4 Ma was developed. Correlation coefficient (COCO), evolutionary COCO, and evolutionary TimeOpt method (eTimeOpt) were employed for quantitatively fit observed stratigraphic cycles to astronomical cycles for providing possible range of sedimentation rates. Sedimentary noise model was adopted for detecting orbital forcing-controlled high-resolution sea-level changes which were correlated to ∼1.2-Myr obliquity amplitude modulation (AM) cycles. Sedimentary noise models (autocorrelation coefficient analysis, ρ1, and dynamic noise after orbital tuning analysis, DYNOT) revealed a correlation between obliquity AM cycle (∼1.2-Myr) and sea level changes in early Carboniferous Luzhai Formation. The ∼1.2-Myr obliquity AM was the main driver of third-order sequence development, the 3rd-order sequence boundaries were related to maximum values of DYNOT median curve and minima values of ∼1.2-Myr amplitude modulation (AM) curve.
