    • The Gulf of Papua has undergone complex evolution due to the oblique and rapid converging between the Australian and Pacific plates in boundary zone. However, since previous studies on the basin structural characteristics of the Gulf of Papua are mostly local and dispersed, the formation time and dynamics mechanism of the basin are still controversial. In this paper, the structural characteristics of the basin are described by using the high-precision 2D and 3D seismic data with drilling constraints covering the whole basin. It is revealed that there are two superposed foreland basins of Pandora and Aure foreland basins in the Gulf of Papua. The Pandora foreland basin is a Late Oligocene-Middle Miocene micro-foreland basin formed on the unconformity of the Oligocene trending NNE. The Aure foreland basin is an Early Miocene-Present peripheral foreland basin developed on the complex rift margin, extending 480 km along the curved Papua peninsula. The basin trend changes from NW in the west to near EW in the east at longitude 148°E. The Pandora micro-foreland basin is covered by sedimentary strata of the Aure foreland basin that gradually onlaps southward. The two foreland basins strike perpendicular to each other and form a superimposed structure vertically. This study elucidates the evolution of the two superimposed foreland basins of the Gulf of Papua, which underwent three-stage extrusion event in the Cenozoic, solving the lack of understanding of basin structure and regional tectonic evolution. In this paper, the temporal sequence and dynamic mechanism of the multi-stage tectonic events in the complex continental margin from extensional to compressional are clarified, providing evidence for plate tectonic reconstruction in the northern margin of the Australian Plate.
