Convergent continental margins are the major sites for the formation, differentiation,
preservation, and destruction of continental crust. This article focuses on the Mesozoic …

Mesozoic continental basins of northern China, including the Junggar Basin, provide some
of the most spectacular and important fossil assemblages in the world, but their climatic and …

Southeastern Eurasia is a global window to the Cretaceous paleoclimate and lithosphere
coupling. China contains one of the most complete and complex sedimentary records of …

Vertebrate assemblages from the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang, China, are the only ones
known from palaeo-Arctic continental strata of Late Triassic and Early Jurassic age. Here we …

Volcanogenic-sedimentary and coal-bearing deposits, which contain abundant fossils of a
lacustrine fauna and terrestrial flora, are widespread in the territory of Transbaikalia …

Both the timing and mechanism for the formation of the topographic stepping in East Asia
along the North-South Gravity Lineament (NSGL) are critical to understand the coupled …

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

The late Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the eastern North China craton was intimately
related with the subduction of the paleo-Pacific plate. This study sheds light on Late Jurassic …

A series of tectonic events during the late Mesozoic, including the Yanshanian Orogeny and
the Early Cretaceous tectonic extension, reshaped the tectonic regime and landscape of …

As CO 2 keeps emitting, it is urgent to project future climatic changes by quantitatively
reconstructing deep time paleoclimate in high atmospheric CO 2 concentrations. However …
