The global distribution of clay minerals is intricately linked with climatic conditions and
bedrock composition, which interact to control the weathering intensity of silicate and other …

From the latest Cretaceous (late Campanian to Maastrichtian,~ 75–66 Ma) to the earliest
Paleogene, fluctuations in greenhouse climate, inferred primarily from marine sediments …

Lacustrine black shales are widely developed within the Late Cretaceous Nenjiang
Formation (k 2 n) of the Songliao Basin. These black shales provide an ideal natural …

Paleogene Huangxian Basin which lies in Eastern China contains deposits of many types of
coal and shale associations. The sedimentary models of coal and shale associations are …

Fast late Miocene global cooling since∼ 7 Ma accompanied by less changeable
atmospheric CO2 levels revealed by existing proxy reconstructions has suggested an …

Lacustrine systems since the Mesozoic have sequestered large quantities of organic carbon,
which may have important value for global climate cooling, but there is still a lack of …

The use of mineral diagenetic indices and organic matter maturity is useful for reconstructing
the evolution of sedimentary basins and critical assessments for potential source rocks for …

Abstract The Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota in northern China is a terrestrial lagerstätte that
contains exceptionally-preserved fossils, including birds, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, mammals …

The evaluation of pore characteristics in lacustrine shales is of significance for shale oil and
gas exploration in terrestrial sedimentary basins. However, due to the complex depositional …

From the latest Cretaceous (late Campanian to Maastrichtian,~ 76-66 Ma) through the
earliest Paleogene, changes of greenhouse climate were linked to catastrophic geological …
