The Early Cretaceous relict basins in eastern Heilongjiang Province were filled with the Didao(Peide)Formation,Chengzihe(Qihulin and Yunshan) and Muling(Zhushan)formations and Dongshan Formation from the bottom to the top. The sedimentary facies are dominated by the alluvial fan,(fan)delta,lacustrine facies,marine facies etc. The sedimentary facies analyses indicate that the Didao Formation is mainly composed of alluvial fan and(fan)delta coarsegrained clastic deposits,with intercalation of volcanic rocks,which shows the sedimentary environment characteristics for early stage of rifting. During the deposition of the Chengzihe(Qihulin and Yunshan)and Muling(Zhushan)formations,the basins were sagging and the presentday relict Sanjiang,Boli,Jixi,Hulin,Ningan and Hegang basins as well as the Tangyuan faulted Depression formed a uniform neritic depressional basin. The Zhangguangcailing MountainXiaoxinganling Mountain,Dongsanjiang and Wandashan areas are the primary provenances and(fan)deltashallow lakesemilakelacustrine bottom fan facies were mainly developed with several episodes of transgression which were dominantly from the eastern Hulin Basin and the northern Suibin Depression.During the deposition of the Dongshan Formation,the basin obviously shrank and local(fan)deltashallow lake sedimentary facies were developed.
