Abstract
The Mae Sot Basin is here interpreted as a tilted fault‐block bounded on the east by a normal fault which, acting as a growth fault, controlled sedimentation during the Neogene. It is suggested that oil‐shale reserves are greater than those currently estimated, and that they may be greatest near the eastern margin of the basin due to the development of a thicker sequence here, and repetition of the facies at depth in sedimentary cyclothems.
