Abstract: This paper discussed the origin and source of acid fluids under burial condition, brought forward the new understanding of chalky limestones and the scheme model of burial dissolution by using GC and GC/MS to analyze extracts from Zhujiang carbonates, and investigated the regional tectonics and the dynamic characteristics of the formation water. We concluded that the acid fluids originated mainly from ① pyrolysis of source rock from Huizhou depression ② biodegradation of crude oil ③ CO2 and other acid fluids released from magmatism.The forming of chalky limestone was related to the continuous corrosion,soaking and washing by organic acid fluids.The burial acid fluids took the faults and complex fracture networks caused by the Dongsha movement as the migration channel and space for mass exchange, the strong acid-carbonate rock reaction took place under the active ground water condition of the Liuhua area, and then carbonate strata collapsed and the distribution of sink holes of the Liuhua area were formed. In addition,the possible causes of sinkholes-meteoric corrosion and dolomitization corrosion had been excluded after a systematic discussion.
