The Upper Triassic Jiuligang Formation and Wanglongtan Formation constitute a classic clastic sedimentary succession deposited in the foredeep belt of the Jingmen-Dangyang basin. Eight lithofacies, six constitutional elements and five depositional systems can be recognized from the outcrop data. Accommodation rates and sequence stacking are mainly controlled by subsidence rates induced by adjacent orogenic belt. Under the warm and humid climate conditions, depositional systems transformed from low energy lakes and swamps to high energy rivers, and each upward fining sequence indicates terrain gradient and sedimentary media energy gradually decreased in an orogenic cycle.
