Abstract:

Through the analysis of sandstone clastic composition, debris types, heavy mineral assemblages, REE and trace elements of Xujiahe Formation in Sichuan foreland basin secondary structure unit, the authors studied the provenance and tectonic setting of Xujiahe Formation sediments in Sichuan foreland basin. The results indicate that most of the clastic materials were derived from the orogenic recycle belt, some of them maybe come from the mixed area before the orogenesis, different tectonic units and strata exist different provenance:the provenance of west Sichuan depression is controlled by Longmen mountain thrust nappe belt, the provenance of northeast Sichuan depression is controlled by Micang-Daba mountain thrust nappe belt, the provenance of southeast Sichuan depression is controlled by Xuefeng old land, while the provenance of medieval Sichuan uplift is controlled by the southern Emei archicontinent. Tectonic evolution characteristics of source area appear from a continental margin transform to the continental island arc, and Longmenshan thrust nappe activity in Xujiahe fourth phase is more stronger than Xujiahe second phase.
