英文摘要	The Simao Basin in Yunnan Province has developed Cretaceous evaporite-bearing clastic deposits, including the Mangang and Mengyejing Formations which were originally interpreted as fluvial and lacustrine deposits. The Mangang Fm. composed of well-rounded quartz sandstones, were commonly considered as the bottom part of the Mengyejing salt series. During last decades, drilling projects targeting to prospect solid potash deposits in the Mengyejing salt series consequently ceased when encountering these sandstones. The poor understanding of sedimentary environments leads to no breakthrough of prospecting solid potash deposits in the Simao Basin. Our recent studies demonstrate that the Cretaceous Mangang Fm. is aeolian in origin. The extremely arid climate during the deposition of the Mangang sandstone highly benefits the potash formation in a paleoclimatic aspect. The aim of this work is to ascertain the sedimentary origin of the Mangang sandstone and the stratigraphic relationship between the Mangang Fm. (the Pashahe Fm. is thought to be the upper section of the Mangang Fm.) and the salt-bearing succession. We propose that a desert-playa sedimentary system has controlled the Simao potash formation during the Middle Cretaceous. This work may provide guidance significance for potash prospecting in the future.
