Abstract:Huangshahe area is located in southern margin in west section of eastern Kunlun in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It belongs to Kunnan accretionary complex belt. A large area of lower Carboniferous Tokuzi Daban formation (C1tk)is exposed in the study area. In order to determine stratigraphic age of Tokuzi Daban formation in the area, sedimentary environment has been analyzed. Based on detailed field geological investigation, through stratigraphic sequence, petrology and paleontology, the Tokuzi Daban formation in Huangshahe area in the west section of east Kunlun in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Regionis has been divided into the lower clastic rock section and the upper carbonate rock section. Its age is determined as the early Carboniferous. Combining with the grain size characteristics of clastic rocks and the characteristics of radiolarian fossils, it is determined that the sedimentary environment of this set of strata is semi deepcoastal shallow sea environment.
