Abstract The Houxia Basin,which is a small intermontane basin of the northern Tianshan orogenic belt in the Mesozoic,whose structural characteristics and genetic evolution are critical to understand the tectonic evolution,collision of the landmass,and basin-orogen coupling relationship in the Tianshan region. In this paper,the geological features and genetic evolution of Houxia Basin were systematically studied by means of field survey,seismic interpretation,and balanced section restoration. We found that: (1)the North Tianshan Mountain provided an important provenance to the Houxia Basin during the Jurassic. At that time,the Carboniferous basement was an underwater low bulge,which did not rise into mountains that could have separated the north and south Jurassic strata. The present residual intermountain basin in the Houxia area resulted from the separation of the later tectonics;(2)the Houxia Basin experienced the complex extension-extrusion stresses. Weak extension between early and middle Jurassic resulted in a graben basin. Strong compression in the Late Jurassic and during the Himalayan period resulted in uplift and erosion of strata and structural amplitude changes. The findings are of great significance to clarify the tectonic evolution of the Tianshan orogenic belt and can guide the oil and gas exploration in adjacent sedimentary basins.
