| The trinity of depositional phase of foreland basins: An examplefrom the western Taiwan foreland basin |
| Due to oblique arc-continent collision, the west-ern Taiwan foreland basin has evolved into three dis-tinct subbasins: an over-filled basin proximal to the Taiwan orogen, mainly distributed in the Western Foothhils and Coastal Plain provinces, a filled basin occupying the shallow Taiwan Strait continental shelf west of the Taiwan orogen and an under-filled basin distal to the Taiwan orogen in the deep marine Kaop-ing Slope offshore southwest Taiwan, respectively. The over-filled depositional phase is dominated by fluvial environments across the structurally controlled piggy-back basins. The filled depositional phase in the Taiwan Strait is characterized by shallow marine en-vironments and is filled by Pliocene-Quaternary sedi-ments up to 4,000 m thick derived from the Taiwan orogen with an asymmetrical and wedge-shaped cross section. The under-filled depositional phase is charac-teristic of deep marine environments in the wedge-top basins accompanied by active structures of thrust faults and mud diapers. |
