Abstract:
There are several small Mesozoic coal basins in western Liaoning province.Those basins are also petroleum basins.This paper is a research report of the formation and evolution of the basins.Firstly,geodynamic background of western Liaoning province is studied.Secondly,structural geometry and kinematics of these basins are analyzed based on seismic and magmatic data.Thirdly,the mechanism of formation of the basins and their genesis are discussed.Finally,structural features and trap types of the basin are illustrated by an example.
