Palaeo-altimetry of the late Eocene to Miocene Lunpola basin, central Tibet

TL;DR: Estimates of the palaeo-altimetry of late Eocene and younger deposits of the Lunpola basin in the centre of the plateau indicate that the surface of Tibet has been at an elevation of more than 4 kilometres for at least the past 35 million years.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new approach to stable isotope-based paleoaltimetry: implications for paleoaltimetry and paleohypsometry of the High Himalaya since the Late Miocene

TL;DR: In this article, the change in oxygen isotopic composition of precipitation is modeled using equilibrium fractionation during Rayleigh distillation linked to the thermodynamics of atmospheric ascent and water vapor condensation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age of Initiation of the India‐Asia Collision in the East‐Central Himalaya

TL;DR: In this article, the authors document the stratigraphy and provenance of the lower Tertiary terrigenous sections in the Zhepure Shan region of the Tethyan Himalaya, southern Tibet, using petrographic and geochemical whole-rock and single-grain techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Basal Dinosaur from the Dawn of the Dinosaur Era in Southwestern Pangaea

TL;DR: A previously unidentified basal theropod is described, its contemporary Eoraptor is reassessed as a basal sauropodomorph, the faunal record of the Ischigualasto Formation is divided with biozones, and the formation is bracketed with 40Ar/39Ar ages.
