Abstract:

Await foreland basin is located in the northwestern Tarim Basin. In Cenozoic,Kalpintagthrusted voilently towards southeast with NE trend Shajingzi fault being its major slip plane.Great thickness of Cenozoic sediments deposited on the southeastern side of the Shajingzifault. The thickness reduced rapidly southeastward,thus forming asymmetrical fie-cure sedi.mentary basin. According to its geotectonic location,its developing time and genesis,Awati foreland basin should neither belong to peripheral foreland basin,nor belong to retroarc foreland basin. It is a new kind of foreland basin-intracontinental foreland basin.
