Abstract
The Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation is a succession of continental clastic rocks in the western Sichuan Basin, China. This formation has previously been regarded as deposited in a foreland basin linked to the NE-SW-striking Longmen Shan Thrust Belt. However, this hypothesis is questionable due to the presence of faults within the Longmen Shan Thrust Belt. Focusing on the Late Triassic proto-basin, we obtained new data from both outcrops and...
