    Abstract:

    It is an important method to understand provenance types, basin-range evolution and tectonic attributes of Bogda area through detrital composition of sandstones. The Mesozoic-Cenozoic detrital compositions utterly differ from the upper Mid-Jurassic ones, which suggests an intense change of basin-range pattern initiated. Increase of that clast of sedimentary rock, high-grade metamorphic rock and unstable heavy minerals shows tectonically active setting and obvious uplift of Bogda Mountain during the Late Jurassic to early Early Cretaceous, Late Cretaceous and Late Cenozoic, led to the widely different sedimentary succession and rapid evolution of basin-range pattern around the Bogda area. In terms of the three tectonic events, that of Middle-Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous is the initial period for differential evolution of basin-range pattern, and the provenance system changed intensely, following by episodic rapid uplifting of Bogda Mountain during the Late Jurassic to early Early Cretaceous, Late Cretaceous and Late Cenozoic.
