The lacustrine sedimentary environment of the oft-com:office:smarttags" />Yixian Basin hosting the Jehol Group was discussed using the detailed carbon and oxygen stable isotope compositions of lacustrine carbonatic rock from the Upper Cretaceous Yixian Formation, Yixian, western Liaoning Province, NE China. The δ13C and δ18O values of the lacustrine carbonatic rock range from -4.825‰ to 6.870‰ and from 16.190‰ to -7.143‰, respectively. The result indicates that the hydrological characteristics tended to be closure, relatively hot and dry paleoclimate, resulting high salinity and temperature. Therefore, volcanic activity may be a key factor affecting hydrological condition and regional climate.
