Abstract：With subduction collision between Eurasian plate and surrounding plates such as Indian,Australian,Philippine and Pacific plates,a series of marginal sea basins,and faulted-downwarped basins formed in the continental margin of eastern Chi-na,mainly including Songliao,Bohai Bay,Jianghan,Subei,East China Sea,Pearl River Mouth and Beibuwan basins.Based on Mesozoic tectonic background analysis and Cenozoic distribution characteristics of sedimentary basins in eastern China,sedi-mentary sequence and tectonic evolution of 7 main basins are analyzed in detail .through a comparative study of tectonic evolu-tion of the surrounding plates and the Tan-Lu fault,volcanism,low temperature thermochronology,climatic evolvement,and so on.It is found that the tectonic evolution of the sedimentary basins in eastern China can be divided into three phases,which are Paleocene-Eocene,Oligocene-Early Miocene and Late Miocene-Quaternary respectively.
