Deformation Styles and Multi-Stage Evolution History of a Large Intraplate Strike-Slip Fault System in a Paleozoic Superimposed Basin: A Case Study From the Tarim Basin, NW China

The complex deformation styles of large intraplate strike-slip fault systems in the multi-stage superimposed basin are hot topics worldwide. This article proposes structural models and evolution processes for such Tarim Basin based on high-resolution 3D seismic data deep wells. Our analyses reveal that formed with different five tectonic layers from Sinian to Permian accompanies rift uplift, Lower–Middle Cambrian reversed faults salt tectonics, Ordovician fault-karst systems, Silurian Carboniferous en-echelon transtensional faults, volcanic structures. Influenced by multi-tectonic history, performed as multi-layer flower structures various types. history paleo-uplifts also influenced distribution characteristics X, diamond, V shapes Tabei uplift T Tazhong uplift. late stage were associated unconformities, inverted structures, growth strata layers. built, which shows pre-existing lithological combinations marine basin, change regional stress controlling factors systems. These provide a new interpretation method
