The detrital heavy minerals are relatively stable and contains important genetic information. The EPMA composition analysis of them can provide the provenance and basin tectonic setting. The first member of Shoushangou Formation is mainly composed of sandstone and conglomerate, and the second member is mainly composed of siltstone and mudstone. The assemblages of heavy minerals in the sandstones are mainly composed of zircon, spinel and garnet, suggesting that the provenance rocks were magmatic and metamorphic rocks. The results of electron probe microanalysis show that tourmalines were derived mainly from lithium-poor granite and metasedimentary rocks. Spinels were sourced from island arc basalts and mid ocean ridge basalts, and garnets from the source of high-grade metabasic rocks. Comprehensive provenance analysis shows that they are mainly derived from Diyanmiao ophiolite, Xilinhot complex and basalts of Benbatu Formation. Combined with regional geological correlation, the sediments of Shoushangou Formation was formed in a backarc basin, suggesting that the Paleo-Asian Ocean closure was after the Early Permian.
