Based on Sr concentration, the ratios of Sr/Br and Th/U, and fossil, the authors discuss the water condition and paleoclimate for the deposition of Chang7 oil layer in the Ordos Basin. The results show that the ratio of Sr/Br and Th/U is from 0.19 to 0.65, and 0.36 to 5.03, respectively, indicating the water during the Chang7 Period was continental freshwater. The V/Ni ratio of 1.75~5.53 is fallen into the score of the reducing environment. The element assemblage, biogliph fossil, and Co quantitative match indicate that the water depth at the Chang7 Period was half-deep to deep lake, with the maximum depth of 50~120 m.The paleoclimate was confirmed as warm and humid climate by sporopollen assemblage.
