A complete and well-preserved forewing assigned to the orthopteran insect Parahagla cheni Xu, Fang and Zhang, 2023 is described from the Lower Jurassic Badaowan Formation of the northwestern Junggar Basin (Karamay, Xinjiang, northwestern China), based on which the species is diagnostically revised. It represents the earliest record of the subfamily Chifengiinae under the family Prophalangopsidae. The subfamily Chifengiinae is reviewed and a key to its genera and species is provided in the discussion. A further discuss of the palaeobiogeographic distribution of Chifengiinae shows that the subfamily probably first appeared in the Palaeoarctic in the earliest Jurassic, and later quickly migrated and occupied most areas of eastern Palaeoarctic from the Middle Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous.

, the earliest known ceratopsian, is represented by dozens of specimens of different sizes collected from the Upper Jurassic of the Junggar Basin, northwestern China. Here, we present the first comprehensive study on the bone histology of based on ten specimens varying in size. Four ontogenetic stages are recognized: early juvenile, late juvenile, subadult, and adult.

Article Synopsis
- The Chepaizi Uplift in northwestern China is a key area for exploring uranium resources, particularly in the newly identified Neogene Shawan Formation.
- This study employs advanced techniques like scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction to analyze uranium minerals and understand their geochemical properties.
- The research reveals that uranium mineralization in the Shawan Formation occurred in two stages, influenced by a dry climate and processes involving lateral migration of oxygenated waters followed by hydrocarbons affecting mineral deposits.
Investigation of Hydrocarbon Generation from Jurassic Coal Measures in the Southern Junggar Basin, Northwestern China, Using Closed-System Pyrolysis.

Article Synopsis
- The southern Junggar sub-basin contains coal-bearing source rocks from the Lower and Middle Jurassic eras, and Rock-Eval analysis was used to evaluate their hydrocarbon generation potential and kerogen types.
- The study found that the source rocks mostly have type III kerogen, with a significant relationship between liptinite content and maximum gas yield, although accurate measurement of liptinite relies on the expertise of the analyst.
- The research indicates promising gas conversion rates (52-74%) from these rocks, especially highlighting the gas generation potential from certain formations like the Badaowan and Sangonghe, suggesting future exploration opportunities.
Effect of Pore Structure Heterogeneity of Sandstone Reservoirs on Porosity-Permeability Variation by Using Single-Multi-Fractal Models.

Pore structure heterogeneity affects sandstone porosity and permeability and thus sandstone gas productivity. A total of 17 sandstone samples collected from the northwestern margin of the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang Province are investigated in this study. The pore-fracture system distribution of target sandstones is studied by high-pressure mercury injection tests.

In the investigation of stratigraphic reservoirs, a significant discrepancy frequently exists between the delineation of the formation pinch-out line as traced using the characteristics of seismic wave reflections and the actual location of the formation pinch-out line. This has been the main problem restricting further hydrocarbon exploration and development. In this study, Hala'alate Mountain on the northwestern margin of the Junggar Basin is taken as an example for carrying out the study of stratigraphic reservoirs by integrating logging, drilling, and 3D seismic data.
