Abstract: The Benxi Formation,Taiyuan Formation and Shanxi Formation in the Zibo Boshan area of the Bohai Bay Basin were analyzed to reveal the formation sequence of coal-bearing strata and coal accumulation within the stratigraphic sequence framework,against the background of epicontinental sea in the Late Paleozoic. A series of sequence boundaries following tectonic movement of the basin basement were identified:a regional unconformity surface formed as a result of paleotectonic movement;a scouring surface of incised valleys following normal regression;a transition surface in the transgressive direction;the first flooding surface;the maximum flooding surface;and the lowest regression surface. The coal-bearing strata in the study area occur in seven third-order sequences. A comparative study indicated that the peat flat of the tidal flat,the lagoon and the peat swamp of the delta plain were the most favorable facies belts for the development of coal seams. Recoverable coal seams were developed in sequences SQ2, SQ3, SQ4, SQ5 and SQ6.
