The sedimentary area of the Early Permian Taiyuan Formation in Henan Province is located in the south of North China Basin and to the north of Luanchuan-Gushi deep fault in the North Qingling fold belt. At that time, this sedimentary basin was controlled by the tectono-paleogeographic features of the west uplift in the North China Platform. The lithofacies palaeogeographic characteristics of Henan Province during the deposit of the Taiyuan Formation display: 1) the marine invasion is widespread and limestone of shallow sea facies is almost throughout the whole sedimentary region; 2) sealine extended eastward and southward to Lingbao-Luoning-Songxian-Fangcheng-Biyang zone; 3) old land areas are situated the Funiu Mountains to sorthwest of this basin and Zhongtiao Mountains to west of this basin; 4) paleotopography shows steep in the west, gentle in the east, high relief in the northwest, and low relief in the southeast; 5) the sedimentary zone of largest thickness of this formation is in the northeast and east of this basin; and 6) seawater invasion was from the east and northeast, and regression from northwest to southeast. In the Taiyuan Formation sedimentary period, the larger area peat flat were developed in the coastal plain in Henan Province, and the coal layers with industrial value were formed in many parts.
