Abstract: At present,zircon dating technology is widely used in basin evolution and reconstruction.On the research of the stratigraphic sequence,sedimentary environment and source analysis of the Upper Jurassic that is the critical deformation period of the northern margin of Qaidam Basin,the spatial and temporal evolution pattern of the north margin of Qaidam Basin in late Yanshan-early Xishan period was discussed.Several evidences show that during the Middle and Late Jurassic,the Qilian Mountains began to uplift,and the whole north margin of the Qilian mountains was in a weak compression environment.The tectonic properties were reversed.The Lvcaogou and the Tuanyu mountains field outcrops show that the Upper Jurassic is a series of sedimentary sequences of braided river and shallow lake system in arid environment,which is quite different from the Middle Jurassic strata.In seismic section and field outcrop,the Upper Jurassic was in angular unconformity or parallel unconformity contact with the upper and lower strata.The zircon U-Pb chronological analysis of the Upper Jurassic coarse sandstone in Lvcaogou and Tuanyu  Mountains shows that the Upper Jurassic has similar age spectrum characteristics. The zircon age is between 2 800 and 222Ma.The age distribution of detrital zircons in Tuanyushan one of tue Upper Jurassic samples is 242-226Ma with main peak of 242Ma,414-255Ma with main peak of 383Ma,964-559Ma with main peak of 559Ma,1 515-1 125Ma with main peak of 1 130Ma,2 437-1 746Ma with main peak of 1 960Ma.Compared with the age spectrum of the peripheral provenance area,the main provenance area of the Upper Jurassic is the South Qilian area.Compared with the Middle Jurassic age,the detrital zircon age of the Upper Jurassic is characterized by reverse sequence denudation.The unconformity between the Middle and Upper Jurassic formed in the weak compressional environment is an efficient channel for oil and gas migration,and the lithologic trap of the Upper Jurassic is a main direction for oil and gas exploration in the next step.
