TL;DR: The base of the Longmaxi Formation shale is graptolite-rich transgressive black shale as mentioned in this paper, which is composed of eight lithofacies, including laminated and non-laminated mudstone/shale, dolomitic siltstone, laminated lime mudstone and shale, argillaceous siltstones, fine grained silty sandstone, calcareous concretions and nonlaminated shale enriched organic matter.

TL;DR: The Sichuan basin is characterized by two episodes of weak extension and compression which influenced the architecture of the marine platform during Palaeozoic to Middle Triassic times as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used zircon (ZFT) and apatite (AFT) fission track analyses for samples collected from three transects and three boreholes covering the northern, central and southern Longmen Shan and the western Sichuan basin to investigate the Cenozoic exhumation history of the eastern Tibetan Plateau.

TL;DR: The margin-plate basin-mountain systems in the Sichuan basin exert major control on today's oil/gas distribution, chiefly through their controlling influence on petroleum reservoirs preservation, the thickness of deposited terrestrial formations and degree of uplift and denudation as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper determined the trace element and rare earth elements (REEs) concentrations of fifty mudstone samples from Eocene Pinghu Formation and Oligocene Huagang Formation in Xihu Sag, East China Sea Basin to test the depositional conditions, provenance and paleoclimate.
