Abstract
⺠Lopingian coal measures in southwest China were deposited from fully terrestrial to marine environments. ⺠Fifteen laterally extensive marine bands act as marker horizons enabling correlations among different settings. ⺠Sixteen fourth-order sequences and three composite sequences (third-order) are delineated for the whole Lopingian coal measures. âºSeaward peat accumulation predominantly correlates with early TSS, but more landward, it shifts to middle TSS and late HSS. âºVariations of peat accumulation within the sequence stratigraphic framework are attributed to variations in subsidence and background siliciclastic input rates in different depositional settings.
