Based on an extensive borehole survey of the Middle Jurassic coal-bearing sequences in the Saishiteng coalfield,northern Qaidam Basin (NQB),a total of 20 rock types and 5 sedimentary facies were identified,including braided river,meandering river,braided delta,meandering river delta,and lacustrine facies.The distribution of rock types and sedimentary facies contributed to the reconstruction of three periods' sedimentary facies maps of the Middle Jurassic in the Saishiteng coalfield,namely,the Dameigou age,the early Shimengou age and the late Shimengou age.That also provided the basis for the development of a three-stage depositional model of the Middle Jurassic in the NQB,indicating the lacustrine basin of the NQB in the Dameigou age and early Shimengou age were corresponding to an overfill basin,and that in the late Shimengou age was related to a balanced-fill basin.The analysis of the stability and structure of coal seams based on sedimentary facies maps showed that the preferred coal-forming facies in the Saishiteng coalfield were inter-delta bay and interdistributary bay of lower delta plain in the Dameigou age.In particular,the swamps that developed on the subaqueous palaeohigh favored the development of thick coal seams.Thus,minable coal seams may also be found along the Pingtai palaeohigh in the western part of the Saishiteng coalfield.
