DEVELOPMENT AND TECTONIC SETTING OF THE ANYUAN COAL MEASURES IN CENTRAL JIANGXI

On the basis of the sedimentary features of the Upper Triassic Anyuan coal measures in combination with the relationship between syndepositional structures associated with the development of the Anyuan coal measures and regional faults,the authors suggest that the Anyuan coal measures were formed in the conditions of shear extension along two groups of diagonal faults influenced by the compression of regional tectonic movements.
