The Basement Features Research of Junggar Basin, China: A Review

Abstract:

There are different understanding of long-standing and significant differences about the characteristic and age of the basement of Junggar Basin. And the existence of Precambrian crystalline basement and the nature of Paleozoic folded basement of the Junggar basin are under question. The research aims including the basin peripheral orogenic clastic zircon dating and the drilling samples. Those research playing a key role in rebuilding the tectonic framework, reconstructing the geological evolution of northern Xinjiang region; and provides the basis for geological research in the area of objective information, provides an important basis in the evolution of continental geology and dynamics; also available as a scientific theory and support to resource development, it is of great value in the exploration and evaluation of resources within the basin.
