Abstract

According to the tectonic evolution of Tibet, from the entire distribution of tectonic units of the Tibetan Plateau to consider, combined Tibet tectonic units subdivision and coal-bearing strata considered together, this paper divided the Tibet into three large Tectonic-stratigraphy areas: Qiangtang-Sanjiang structural-stratigraphic region, Bangong-Shuanghu-Nujiang structural-stratigraphic region, Gangdese-Himalayan structural-stratigraphic region. From Tibet regional stratigraphic sedimentary structure and its characteristics of ancient fossils combination analysis show that the Tibetan coal-rich region coal accumulation process endowed with the multi-eras, widely distributed, multi-layered seams, thin and poor stability of the overall features. District includes the Lower Carboniferous coal-bearing strata, Upper Permian, Upper Triassic, Middle Jurassic, Lower Cretaceous and Paleogene, etc., the main coal-bearing strata are Lower Carboniferous(Machala coal series), upper Permian(Tuoba coal series), upper Triassic(Tumen coal series), lower Cretaceous(Duoni coal series).
