Abstract: Tanlu fault zone have been studied for several years and have become high research level tectonic belt since it was believed to be a large sinistral strike-slip fault. This paper provides a new stratigraphic evidence on structural reconstruction of two sides of the fault, which seems to have resulted from peculiar marching direction of Huaiyuan movement. According to identification, Sanshanzi Formation as a large-scale dolomitic diachronous stratum distributed from south to north resulted from the diverse uplift with warped plate style from south to north by Huanyuan movement, and completely recorded the whole pushing process. The lower boundary of Sanshanzi Formation orderly started to rise, and successively overlay the top surface of Zhangxia Formation (Middle Cambrian), Fengshang Formation (Upper Cambrian) and Liangjiashan Formation (Lower Ordovician) from southern part to central part, then to northern part, which caused different adjacent lithofacies in south-north direction and the same lithofacies extended ineast-westdirection between Zhangxia Formation and Xiamajiagou Formation. Two sides of the Tanlu fault (Dalian and Juxian, Xintai; Baixian, Benxi and Tangshan) were central zones of two deep-water trough basins, as shown by contrastive analysis of stratigraphic and lithofacies characteristics. The two key beds with small thickness have accurate horizon and obvious characteristics for structural reconstruction. The staggered distance of two sides of the reset fault is 500km in the southern part (Dabie Mountain-Sulu ultrapressure metamorphic belt), the staggered distance of the central partis 440km, and that of the northern part is 210-310km, which indicates that the overthrust shortening distance is small in the southern part and is large in the northern part on the eastern wall of the fault.
