The selection principles of the section are: covering typical stratigraphic outcrops in different tectonic units of the basin (such as depression, slope, uplift), preferentially selecting sections with complete lithology exposure, clear contact relationship, and abundant paleontological fossils (such as basin edge outcrops, key wells), integrating geological outcrops, drilling cores and logging data to determine stratigraphic age, lithologic combination and contact relationship, and constraining stratigraphic age framework through high-precision chronology testing, combining sedimentary cycle analysis to divide sedimentary sequence levels, establishing a standard stratigraphic characteristic library covering lithology description (color, particle size, composition), paleontological combination, sedimentary structure (bedding, ripple mark) and logging response characteristics (GR, RT curve shape), forming a comparable stratigraphic division template, simultaneously extracting geochemical element data (major, trace, rare earth elements) of key stratigraphic levels in the section, constructing a stratigraphic-geochemical correlation matrix, based on the established standard stratigraphic characteristic library, conducting geochemical facies analysis of the target layer series, quantifying weathering intensity of the source area through major element ratios, using rare earth element distribution patterns and trace element ratios to identify sediment source types, i.e. continental island arc and passive continental margin, and further verifying the source direction combined with ZTR index and garnet / zircon ratio of heavy mineral assemblage, using Q-type clustering to convert geochemical parameters into quantifiable sedimentary facies markers, establishing an element-mineral-sedimentary facies conversion model, using standard stratigraphic characteristics and sedimentary facies markers as constraints, integrating basin multi-well and seismic section data to construct a three-dimensional sedimentary facies model, and using Kriging interpolation method to grid discrete well point data to generate continuous sedimentary facies distribution map, depicting the spatial distribution of key facies belts including delta, coastal and deepwater fan, combining with regional tectonic evolution history, analyzing the relationship between sedimentary facies migration path and basin filling process, and forming a high-resolution regional sedimentary facies distribution characteristic set; Step three: Based on the multivariate scaling analysis (MDS) of elemental geochemistry, the homogenization degree (P%) of the sedimentary process in the source-sink system is identified. Based on the target layer system of the study area, representative samples of the source area (outcrop of provenance area, river sediment) and the sink area (sedimentary center of basin) are collected for whole rock major and trace element analysis to ensure that the data cover the whole process of sediment from source to sink. The original geochemical data are standardized to eliminate the influence of sample particle size and mineral composition difference. Z-score standardization method is used to unify the dimension to construct a standardized dataset containing geochemical parameters of source-sink samples. The non-metric multidimensional scaling algorithm is used to reduce the high-dimensional geochemical data to 2-3 dimensional space based on the Euclidean distance matrix to generate the distribution scatter plot of source-sink samples. The stress value evaluation model is used to fit the goodness-of-fit (Stress < 0.15, indicating that the dimension reduction result retains > 85% of the original data variation), ensuring that the dimension reduction result retains the main variation characteristics of the original data. In the multidimensional scaling analysis space, the source area samples show an aggregated distribution, reflecting the uniformity of the chemical composition of the provenance area. The sink area samples show a dispersed trend due to transportation, sorting and mixing. The distance variation coefficient of the source-sink sample pairs in the multidimensional scaling analysis space is calculated to quantify the degree of modification of the original provenance signal in the sedimentary process. The greater the distance variation coefficient, the stronger the homogenization. Based on the multidimensional scaling analysis result, the expansion ratio of the distribution range of the sink area samples in the multidimensional scaling analysis space relative to the source area is defined as the homogenization degree (P%), which is the ratio of the standard deviation of the Euclidean distance between the source-sink sample pairs to the average Euclidean distance. The higher the P% value, the stronger the mixing and sorting of the sediments in the transportation process, and the stronger the homogenization and modification of the original provenance signal. In addition, the calculation expression of the Euclidean distance variation coefficient is as follows: ; ; ; In the formula: is the Euclidean distance variation coefficient, defined as the ratio of the standard deviation of the Euclidean distance between the source-sink sample pairs to the average Euclidean distance; is the standard deviation of the Euclidean distance between the source-sink sample pairs, is the average value of the Euclidean distance between the source-sink sample pairs, is the Euclidean distance between the i th source area sample and the j th sink area sample, M is the number of source area samples, and N is the number of sink area samples; = 0, indicating that the Euclidean distance between all source-sink sample pairs is completely the same, i.e. no variation, when tends to When the variation is large, it indicates that the Euclidean distance between the source and sink sample pairs varies greatly; when it is small... The value indicates that the Euclidean distance between source-sink sample pairs is relatively concentrated, the homogenization effect is weak, and the larger value indicates that the homogenization effect is weak. The value indicates that the Euclidean distance between source-sink sample pairs varies greatly, and the homogenization effect is strong; The expression for calculating the degree of homogenization is as follows: ; In the formula: P% represents the degree of homogenization, indicating the expansion ratio of the distribution range of the sink sample in the multidimensional scale analysis space relative to the source region; The distribution range of the sink sample in the multidimensional scale analysis space is determined by calculating the area or volume of the convex hull of the sink sample, reflecting the degree of dispersion of the sink sample in the multidimensional scale analysis space. The distribution range of the source region sample in the multidimensional scale analysis space is determined by calculating the area or volume of the convex hull of the source region sample, reflecting the concentration degree of the source region sample in the multidimensional scale analysis space. When P% = 0%, it indicates that the distribution range of the sink region sample is exactly the same as that of the source region sample, that is, there is no homogenization effect. When P% approaches a certain value... When the P% value is greater than that of the source region sample, it indicates that the homogenization effect is very strong; a smaller P% value indicates that the distribution range of the sink region sample is relatively small and the homogenization effect is weak, while a larger P% value indicates that the distribution range of the sink region sample is relatively large and the homogenization effect is strong. Step 4: Based on the comparison of standard stratigraphic geochemical characteristics and source area characteristics along the sedimentary path, construct fingerprint decoding parameters for the sedimentary process (sedimentology, heavy mineral assemblage, geochemistry, chronology, etc.). Step 5: Based on the construction of the fingerprint decoding parameters of the deposition process, and using the PCA data statistical algorithm based on Principal Component Analysis, construct a set of key fingerprint decoding parameters to reveal the quantitative source-sink supply ratio and cyclicity of potential source areas; Step Six: Combining regional sedimentary facies distribution characteristics, homogenization degree of sedimentary process, and fingerprint decoding parameters of sedimentary process, quantitatively characterize the sedimentary paths and processes in the source-sink system through iterative simulation using the inverse Monte Carlo model.

[0020] Example 2, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: Step four specifically includes: Based on the sedimentary pathway of the study area, representative samples were collected from the outcrop of the source area, the transport pathway (river / coast) and the sedimentary center (basin), covering the whole process from source to sink. Simultaneous sedimentological analysis (lithology, sedimentary structure, grain size), heavy mineral assemblage identification (ZTR index, mineral stability classification), whole rock geochemical testing (major / minor / rare earth elements) and detrital zircon U-Pb dating were carried out, and the original data were standardized: the Z-score method was used to eliminate dimensional differences, and a multi-source data set covering sedimentology, mineralogy, geochemistry and chronology was constructed to ensure data comparability and consistency with geological significance. By comparing the multi-dimensional data of the source area and the sedimentary center samples, the preserved or modified source signal in the sedimentary process was identified. In sedimentology, the influence of transport distance on grain size sorting and sedimentary structure type was analyzed. In mineralogy, the enrichment / loss of heavy mineral stability (garnet, zircon, etc.) during transport was evaluated. In geochemistry, the chemical weathering and mixing effects were quantified using discriminant diagrams (Th-Co-Zr diagram) and element ratios (Eu / Eu*, La / Co, etc.). In chronology, the spatiotemporal variation of sediment sources was determined by comparing detrital zircon age spectra. By integrating multi-disciplinary evidence, sensitive fingerprint parameters were extracted, including heavy mineral stability index, rare earth element fractionation coefficient and age spectrum similarity, to form a quantifiable sedimentary process decoding index system. The calculation expression of the heavy mineral stability index is as follows: ; In the formula: is the heavy mineral stability index, m is the total number of heavy mineral species (such as zircon, garnet, tourmaline, etc.), is the stability weight of the kth mineral, which is classified according to the anti-weathering and transport ability of the mineral. Super-stable minerals (zircon, tourmaline) , stable minerals (garnet, anatase) , unstable minerals (hornblende, pyroxene) , is the content percentage of the kth mineral, The theoretical range of is: When the sample only contains unstable minerals, When the sample only contains super-stable minerals, With the increase of transport distance, unstable minerals (such as hornblende) are gradually lost, and super-stable minerals (such as zircon) are relatively enriched, increases; chemical weathering increases, unstable minerals decompose, and stable minerals remain, increases; the source changes. If the source area itself is mainly composed of stable minerals (such as recycled sediments), is high; on the contrary, if the source contains a large amount of volcanic clasts (unstable minerals), Low; The calculation expression of the fractionation coefficient of rare earth elements is as follows: ; The ratio of light rare earth elements (La) to heavy rare earth elements (Yb) in the sample is normalized by the Post-Archean Australian Shale (PAAS) standard: ; In the formula: is the fractionation coefficient of rare earth elements, is the measured value of the sample, (McLennan, 1989); is the reference value of PAAS normalization, reflecting the average rare earth distribution pattern of the upper crust; in actual sedimentary rocks, is usually between 0.5 and 2.0; chemical weathering, light rare earth elements (La) are more easily leached than heavy rare earth elements (Yb), resulting in a decrease in light rare earth elements (La) in the sample, (negative anomaly), under extreme weathering conditions (such as laterization), it can be as low as 0.3-0.5; source mixing, if the sediment is mixed with basic igneous rocks (enriched in light rare earth elements), (positive anomaly), if mixed with carbonate rocks (relatively enriched in heavy rare earth elements), ; transport and sorting, in long-distance transport, the degree of fractionation of rare earth elements decreases, tending to 1 (close to the PAAS distribution); The calculation expression of the similarity of age spectra is as follows: ; ; In the formula: is the similarity of age spectra, D is the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test statistic, , is the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the two groups of detrital zircon ages, representing the age distribution of the source area and the sample at the sedimentary center, respectively; x is the age variable (unit: Ma); is the maximum value of all age points; , , : the two age distributions are exactly the same (D=0), : the two age distributions have no overlap (D=1); source stability, if the sediment source supply is stable (such as single-source long-term supply), close to 1, if the tectonic activity in the source area is frequent (such as orogenic uplift), leading to multiple periods of erosion, Decrease;
