The Zigui basin is a wellpreserved Jurassic sedimentary basin that lies in the eastern section of Daba Mountain tectonic belt. Its sedimentary filling process and structural evolution can be divided into two distinct stages. The first stage is featured by extensional subsidence controlled by a northwest strikeslip fault in early Jurassic, while the second stage is characterized by contractional uplift in response to the rise of Huangling area in middlelate Jurassic. The conglomerate at the bottom of lower Juassic Xiangxi Formation marks the beginning of Zigui basin. The thick conglomerate layer distributing in the northern basin deposited in alluvial fan and braided river system. Some fossils preserved in limestone can be found as gravels, and this indicates deposition proximal to source area. The thinner conglomerate deposited in the meandering river is distributed around south and southeast of the basin. The restored paleocurrents and provenance analyses show that sediments were mainly from the Shennongjia area at the early stage. Mid Juassic Xietan Formation and Chenjiawan Formation are composed mainly of sandstone and mudstone, formed in lacustrine system at the early stage of middle Jurassic. The Shangshaximiao Formation and Xiashaximiao Formation are characterized by deposition in the steady or mature meandering river at the late stage of middle Jurassic, because the conglomerate contains no limestone and chert gravels but only mudstone gravel. The Suining Formation and Penglaizhen Formation were dominated by meandering fluvial facies, but the gravels preserved at the bottom of channel sandstone differ from those in middle Jurassic. The occurrence of limestone and chert gravels indicated the change of provenance area. In addition, the paleocurrent was westward at the late stage of middle Jurassic and late Jurassic, which shows the Huangling area maybe provide much clastics. Sedimentary filling characteristics and the northwestern margin fault of the basin with sinistral strikeslip, as well as a number of southdipping reverse faults on the north of basinmargin show that the Zigui basin was controlled by these faults. The uplifting of Huangling anticline strongly affected the evolution of Zigui basin in late Mesozoic, and resulted in the death of Zigui basin in late Jurassic. The sedimentary filling process and structural evolution of Zigui basin was in response to the "Yanshan Movement" in the eastern section of Daba Mountain tectonic belt.
