Much of the Siberian Traps Large Igneous Province is inside.{{Cite journal |last=Callegaro |first=S. |date=June 8, 2021 |title=Geochemistry of deep Tunguska Basin sills, Siberian Traps: correlations and potential implications for the end-Permian environmental crisis |journal=Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology |volume=176 |issue=7 |doi=10.1007/s00410-021-01807-3 |s2cid=235364477 |url=https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00410-021-01807-3|doi-access=free |hdl=10852/88023 |hdl-access=free }}

The area is of about {{convert|400,000|mi2|km2}} in Krasnoyarsk Territory and Sakha Republic, between the Yenisei and Lena rivers. It contains a huge untapped coal reserve. Its main settlements there are Norilsk, Igarka, and Yeniseisk. The Tunguska rivers cross the basin. On June 30, 1908, near the Stony Tunguska River the Tunguska Event took place.{{Cite web |title=Tunguska Basin |url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/reference/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/tunguska-basin}}

Boreholes in the Tunguska Basin indicate ubiquitous and abundant sills, which have great lateral extension.{{Cite web |last=Callegaro |first=Sara |date=July 2021 |title=Geochemistry of deep Tunguska Basin sills, Siberian Traps: correlations and potential implications for the end-Permian environmental crisis |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/352224229}}

The Tunguska Basin makes up much of the Siberian Craton and has several subbasins.{{Cite web |first= Craig|last=Wandrey|date= 2008|title=Geology and Assessment of Undiscovered Oil and Gas Resources of the Tunguska Basin Province, 2008 |url=https://pubs.usgs.gov/pp/1824/u/pp1824u.pdf}}
