Compression-induced evolution of the Triassic stratigraphy and sedimentary facies in the backbulge depression of the Tarim Basin, NW China

Key Points

• Significant changes in Triassic stratigraphy observed due to compression in the Tarim Basin.
• Key evidence shows evolving sedimentary facies linked to geological processes.
• Observational analysis across the Tarim Basin highlights the role of backbulge depressions in stratigraphic evolution.
• Findings suggest that compression impacts sedimentary patterns, indicating broader geological changes.
