Abstract:Dongxiang depression Is a structural depression located in the west of Dawenkou basin. Favourable structural conditions, ancient climate, geographical conditions, and the surrounding rich source formed rock salt deposit in the basin. Regional tectonic evolution caused sedimentary range and the concentration differences of brine. Thus, rock salt sedimentary facies have a certain evolution. The main tendency is along the direction of SWW from the northwest to the midwest of Dongxiang depression. The sedimentary thickness changes as well.
