Abstract:Shanxi Formation is an important enrichment layer of coal and coal[CD*2]formed gas in Shandong province. Regarding the theory of integrative stratigraphy as the core,by using lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy, strata in zibo and western Shandong(Pengzhuang) have been contrasted with Shanxi formation in Jiyang depression, and the stratigraphic correlation relationship has been built. Through comprehensive analysis and study, lateral and longitudinal change trend of Shanxi formation in Shandong province has been gained. The main reason for these changes may be the transgression direction is from southeast to northwest in western Shandong. The top of the upper part of limestone in Taiyuan formation and the bottom of mudstone in Shanxi formation were formed in the transformation period of sudden transgression to marine regression.
