Different geological conditions are often encountered in the excavation of coal mine roadways, with fault-fracture zone being the most commonly seen complex geological conditions. Fault-fracture zone is characterized by complex lithologic property and joint development and can easily cause safety accidents when excavation burrows through the fault. Therefore, grouting reinforcement of fault-fracture zone is often implemented to ensure coal mine safety production. Based on the tunnel excavation case of −530 −650 m belt conveyor inclined roadway at Huainan Pan’er Coal Mine, borehole optical fiber and electrical testing technologies were applied to monitor and analyze the dynamics of the surrounding rock stability when roadway excavation passed through the F1 fault, and evaluate the effect of grouting reinforcement on fault-fracture zone. According to the results of optical fiber and electrical methods, the distributional characteristics and evolution patterns of strain and electric resistivity were analyzed. The research pointed out the distinct difference in variation characteristics of strain and electrical fields between grouted reinforced fault-fracture zone and normal rock strata sections. This indicates that the grouting reinforcement effectively improve physical properties of rock strata in the fractured section, the stability of the rock strata at the fault-fracture zone was effectively increased, the degree of fault activation and deformation was relatively small, and roadway surrounding rock basically retained its original properties, pointing to high stability.

During the early two decades of third millennium, many Mesozoic and Cenozoic biotas belong to plesiosaur, Titanosauriformes, titanosaurs, theropods, Mesoeucrocodiles, pterosaur, bird, snake, fishes, mammals, eucrocodiles, invertebrates and plants from Pakistan were found. Previously a few were formally published according to nomenclatural rules. Most of the Mesozoic vertebrates were formally published in August 2021, and the remaining Mesozoic and Cenozoic biotas are being formally described here.

Non-marine Cretaceous rocks are widespread in northeastern Thailand and is well known as “the red bed” Khorat Group. The Sao Khua Formation is in the upper half of the Khorat Group which is comprised of six formations. This formation was named and defined at the type section for the rocks between the restricted PhraWihan Formation and the Phu Phan Formation in the drainage area of the Huai Sao Khua, an intermittent stream that flows westward parallel to the highway between Nong Bua Lamphu and UdonThani Provinces. It contains richest and most diverse vertebrate and invertebrate Mesozoic fossils in Thailand. The Sao Khua Formation is characterized by the sequence of the fining-upward successions of at least 4-5 megacycles throughout the formation with the total thickness ranging between 400-700 meters. Each cycle starts with a channel lag conglomerate which the clasts consist totally of re-worked calcrete nodules. The conglomerates were overlain by fine-to medium-grained sandstones of point bar deposit. Finally, the top part of each cycle was covered by a succession of fine-grained floodplain deposit that makes up 60%-70% of the formation. Paleosols are commonly found in the Sao Khua Formation within the floodplain sequence and their geochemistry indicates a semi-arid paleoclimate. Based on lithostratigraphy, the Sao Khua Formation is interpreted to have been deposited by a meandering river system under a semi-arid climate condition. The age of the formation is assigned as the Hauterivian-Late Barremian based on vertebrate and bivalves fossils.
