  ABSTRACT: Sedimentary environments are an important part of paleogeography and sedimentology, and there is a long history of using geochemical and mineralogical methods to analyze palaeoenvironmental problems using sedimentary rocks as a research vehicle. By summarizing the important results of previous work on tracing the palaeoenvironment using the composition and distribution characteristics of the macronutrients and trace elements as well as the characteristics of mineral composition, we aim to sort out the mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of the palaeoenvironment. Among them, the identification of paleoclimate, paleoproductivity, paleosalinity, paleodepth and palaeo-oxygen phase are important elements of the sedimentary environment, and it is more important to sort out the mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of them.
