Abstract During the Late Jurassic to Late Cretaceous,the northern Yangtze area has evolved into a late-orogenic tectonic regime,which is characterized by the development of several thin-skinned foreland fold-thrust belts,including Dabashan,Dahongshan and eastern Sichuan-western Hunan and Hubei fold-thrust belts.They all show arc-shape geometries and generally trend parallel to the Qinling-Dabieshan Orogen and Xuefengshan Orogen.Synthesis of structural mapping,sedimentary facies and provenance analyses revealed that these arcuate fold-thrust belts not only deformed the original foreland sequence,but also controlled the basin evolution during the Late Jurassic through Late Cretaceous.Here we define the late-orogenic tectonic-paleogeography evolution into three phases as (1)From Late Jurassic to early Early Cretaceous: The Dahongshan and Dabashan fold-thrust belts initially propagated southwestwards and controlled the deposition of Penglaizhen Formation in northern Sichuan Basin and Zigui Basin.The original foreland basin was bounded by eastern Sichuan-western Hunan and Hubei fold-thrust belt to the southeast and Longmenshan fold-thrust belt to the west,leading to an intracratonic basin with foredeep subsidence which is also referred as “walled sedimentary basin”.(2)From middle Early Cretaceous to late Early Cretaceous: The propagation of the Dahongshan and Dabashan fold-thrust belts attenuated,while the eastern Sichuan-western Hunan and Hube fold-thrust belt continued the northwestward propagation and formed the structural lines trending northeast.On the front of the eastern Sichuan-western Hunan and Hubei fold-thrust belt,the depocenter of the basin was located near Yichang city where the Huangling anticline has yet been exposed.(3)During the Late Cretaceous: The eastern Sichuan-western Hunan and Hubei fold-thrust belt propagated northwestly with slight change of the structural trends from northeast to north-northeast.The Huangling anticline was initially formed during this period.The depocenter of the basin located on the two ends of the eastern Sichuan-western Hunan and Hubei fold-thrust belts with Yichang on the north end and Xishui on the south end.Meanwhile,there are also many wedge-top sediments developed inside the fold-thrust belt,leading to the formation of several piggy-back basins such as Enshi basin,Qianjiang basin and Laifeng basin.
