The formation of the Ping (Pingxiang)-Le (Leping) coal-bearing depression zone was strictly controlled by three-period and four-stages of tectonic-sedimentary evolution from Mesozoic to Cenozoic. These include Nappe-stage in Indosinian, basal-detachment and fold-thrust stage in the end of Late Triassic and cover strike-slip stage in the end of Early Jurassic, and cover and basal sliding stage during Himalayan. Thus, multistage conversion between sag and fault depression made the basin type of the Pingle depression showing different geotectonic features. As a result of this study, the authors establish a coal-controlling structural model which could be a guide for coal mine exploration in the Fengcheng region.
