In order to study the tectonic type of the Mohe Basin in Late Jurassic, this paper discusses its provenance characteristics.Based on analyses of the palaeocurrent, the composition of source rocks and tectonic setting of provenance, this paper presents the provenance characteristics of the Mohe basin in Late Jurassic.(1) the provenance of the Mohe basin in Late Jurassic was from the south and the north;(2) the northern provenance was the Mongolia—Okhotsk orogenic belt, lying on the southern margin of the Siberian plate, and the source rocks were predominantly granites, metamorphic rocks, intermediate acidity volcanic rocks, intermediate basic volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks; (3) the southern provenance was the underlying plate(basin) basement, lying in the northern of the Da Hingan Mountains, and the source rocks were predominantly granites, metamorphic rocks and sedimentary rocks; (4) the tectonic settings of the northern provenances was the Early Mesozoic active continental margin.The Mohe basin in Late Jurassic had provenance characteristics of the classical foreland basin that has apparently double source, and one of its provenances came from the northern orogenic zones, the other one came from the underlying plate basement (basin basement).According to provenance characteristics, regional tectonic setting and some materials of the Upper Amur basin in Russian, the Mohe basin in Late Jurassic could be considered to be the southern half part of the Mohe—Upper Amur periphery foreland basin, whose formation and evolution were associated with the Mongolia—Okhotsk orogenic belt.
