Abstract We reconstruct the rise of a segment southern flank Himalaya-Tibet orogen, to south Lhasa terrane, using paleoaltimeter based on paleoenthalpy encoded in fossil leaves from two new assemblages Tibet (Liuqu and Qiabulin) four previously known floras Himalaya foreland basin. U-Pb dating zircons constrains Liuqu flora latest Paleocene (ca. 56 Ma) Qiabulin earliest Miocene (21–19 Ma). The proto-Himalaya grew slowly against high (∼4 km) proto–Tibetan Plateau ∼1 km late ∼2.3 at beginning...
Mesozoic strata of the Hoh‐Xil‐Songpan‐Ganzi complex in northern Tibet are exposed a vast (> 370,000 km 2 ) triangle‐shaped orogenic belt bound by Longmen Shan thrust east, Kunlun terrane and North China block north, Qiangtang Yidun arc south. These consist Middle–Upper Triassic submarine fan deep marine facies rocks that were deposited Paleo‐Tethys Ocean. Late Triassic–Early Jurassic contractional deformation eastern marks demise Ocean basin accretion Gondwana‐derived to Eurasia. We...
The northernmost exposures of sub-Himalayan Cenozoic strata in the Hazara–Kashmir syntaxial region north Pakistan comprises Paleocene–Eocene marine lower part and Oligocene–Miocene nonmarine upper part. This study provides detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology this area. strong resemblance age spectra Paleocene Hangu, Lockhart Patala formations with those Himalayan indicate an Indian plate provenance. first appearance <100 Ma ages within most Early Eocene Margalla Hill Limestone indicates a...
Views differ on the uplift history of SE Tibetan Plateau and causal geodynamic mechanisms, yet reliable age-constrained paleoaltimetry in this region could test growth models entire plateau. Here we apply carbonate clumped isotope thermometry to well-dated paleosols marls Gonjo Basin, Tibet, reveal topographic evolution basin. The sedimentary ages carbonates lower upper Ranmugou Formation are constrained 54-50 Ma 44-40 Ma, respectively. temperature derived from indicates mean annual air...
The uplift of eastern Tibet, Asian monsoon development and the evolution globally significant biodiversity are all linked, but in obscure ways. Sedimentology, geochronology, clumped isotope thermometry, fossil leaf-derived numerical climate data from Relu Basin, show at ∼50-45 Ma basin was a hot (mean annual air temperature, MAAT, ∼27 °C) dry desert low-elevation 0.6 ± km. Rapid rise to 2.0 0.9 km 45-42 2.9 42-40 Ma, with MAATs ∼20 ∼16 °C, respectively, accompanied seasonally varying...
Abstract Understanding the Cenozoic growth history of Himalaya-Tibetan Plateau (HTP) is essential for elucidating underlying geodynamic mechanism and interactions among topography, biosphere atmosphere. However, spatial-temporal evolution HTP, especially that Paleogene Central Tibetan Valley (CTV), remains hotly debated. In this study, through radiometric geochronology, plant assemblages, oxygen clumped isotope paleoaltimetries, we reconstruct uplift east-west-oriented Luolong Basin in...
Southeastern (SE) Tibet forms the transition zone between high interior Tibetan Plateau and lowlands of southwest China. So understanding elevation history SE Tibet, a biodiversity 'hotspot', enlightens our interactions tectonics, monsoon dynamics biodiversity. Here we reconstruct uplift Markam Basin, during middle−late Eocene based on U − Pb dating, plant fossil assemblages, stable clumped isotope analyses. Our results suggest that floor Basin was at an 2.6 ± 0.9 km 42 Ma 39 Ma, where mean...
Abstract We carried U‐Pb‐Hf geochronology of the clastic sequence covering upper Mesozoic‐Cenozoic period. The Mesozoic is overlain unconformably by Cenozoic strata, marking regional K‐T boundary, which mapped as angular unconformity. This relationship may strongly indicate a compressional orogenic event that occurred during Late Cretaceous. Cretaceous Kohistan‐Karakoram collision and ophiolite emplacement account for development this compression along northern Indian margin. isotopic...
Abstract The Selin Co basin in the northern Lhasa terrane includes more than 3000 m of upward coarsening Lower Cretaceous strata, and sedimentary sequence from flysch to molasse indicates evolution a foreland basin. Petrographic analysis shows that sandstones are rich volcanic lithics most them fall into recycled orogen magmatic arc. Uranium–lead (U–Pb) ages were determined for 435 detrital zircons strata Relative probability zircon Eshaerbu Formation was grains with age 125–140 160–180 Ma,...
