Paleogeography reconstruction of a multi-stage modified intra-cratonic basin—a case study from the Jurassic Ordos Basin, Western North China Craton

Post-depositional modification is commonly found in sedimentary basins, particularly in the eastern Tethys Tectonic Domain, and is related to special geological settings and evolution processes of the region. The Chinese continent is composed of numerous small-scale blocks that underwent intensive tectonic movements. Paleogeography reconstruction for a modified basin is fundamental for objectively understanding the basin dynamics and exploration...
