      Thermal history modelling of fission track opens a promising passage for the quantitative study of the relationship between the orogenic belt erosion and the sedimentary basin deposition. The working principle is to get the average exhumation rates of the orogenic belt through the thermal history modelling of fission track, then compare the exhumation rates with the average deposition rates of the adjacent basins to  estimate the proportional relationship between the orogenic belt erosion and the sedimentary basin deposition. With this method, the average exhumaition rates of regional volume are 1 189.67 km3/Ma(with the paleogeothermal gradient being 25 ℃/km) and 1487.08 km3/Ma (with the paleogeothermal gradient being 20 ℃/km) between 65 and 25 Ma in Dabie orogen. They are at least half of average total deposition rates of the adjacent basins in Paleogene.
