Abstract: Zedites could be generated throughout the process of diagenesis.The types of zeolites are mainly controlled by the varieties of source material and the properties of water medium,and the distributive type of ten shows perpendicularly zonal features.The appearanceof lateral zonality is also present in the modern deposits of saline alkali lakes,since thisclosely relates to the differences of source material and of the physical-chemical properties of water medium.The temperature does not work on the generation and distribution of zeolites,so that the author proposes that authigenic zeolites should not be considered as athermometer and must be stopped using due to its unreliability.
