中文摘要	During the Eocene, the southwest Tarim Basin was a large epicontinental sea as a part of the Turun Sea in the eastern Paratethys. The marine succession of the Kalatar Formation is exposed along the piedmonts of the southern Tian Shan and western Kunlun Shan, and can be subdivided into three members. On the southern side of the Tarim Basin, a non-barrier shore-to-shelf, siliciclastic-dominated system, locally with carbonates and oyster biostromes, developed along the western Kunlun Shan, where river input led to a seaward arrangement of alluvial fan, foreshore, shoreface, and offshore facies. In contrast, on the northern side of the Tarim Basin, a carbonate ramp system formed along the southern Tian Shan, including shallow bioclastic-oolitic grainstone shoals, oyster beds, and red algal rudstones along with a number of evaporite units, which formed under hypersaline tidal-flat and lagoonal conditions. The basin center was a largely moderate deep and low-energy embayment facies. Deposition of the mixed carbonate-siliciclastic Kalatar Formation was controlled by tectonic activity, in particular the development of the Himalayan orogeny with the closure of Paratethys sea-level fluctuations, and arid-humid climate variations.
