High and dry in central Tibet during the Late Oligocene
TL;DR: The time at which the Tibetan Plateau rose to its present high elevation remains controversial, with estimates ranging from 40 Ma to more recent than 7 Ma New stable isotope analyses of modern and accurately dated ancient paleosol carbonate in the Nima basin of central Tibet point to an arid climate and high paleoelevation (45-5 km, comparable to today's setting) by 26 Ma Oxygen isotope values of ancient (26 Ma) soil carbonate are both very negative and indistinguishable, after modest corrections for changes in global climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexural subsidence by 29 Ma on the NE edge of Tibet from the magnetostratigraphy of Linxia Basin, China
TL;DR: A detailed magnetostratigraphic record of subsidence in the Linxia Basin, documenting a 27 Myr long sedimentary record from the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, was provided in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Cretaceous-early Eocene Laramide uplift, exhumation, and basin subsidence in Wyoming: Crustal responses to flat slab subduction
Majie Fan,Barbara Carrapa +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstruct basin subsidence and compile paleoelevation, thermochronology, and provenance data to assess the timing, magnitude, and rates of rock uplift during the Laramide deformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemistry and sedimentology of the Lower Silurian Longmaxi mudstone in southwestern China: Implications for depositional controls on organic matter accumulation
Yiquan Ma,Yiquan Ma,Majie Fan,Yongchao Lu,Xusheng Guo,Haiyan Hu,Lei Chen,Chao Wang,Xiaochen Liu +8 more
TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the depositional controls on organic matter abundance in the prolific black mudstone of the Long-1 Member of the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation in southwestern China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calibration of the clumped isotope geothermometer in soil carbonate in Wyoming and Nebraska, USA: Implications for paleoelevation and paleoclimate reconstruction
TL;DR: In this paper, carbonate clumped-isotope ( Δ 47 ) and oxygen isotope ( δ O 18 ) compositions of modern soil carbonates and seasonal variations of soil moisture and temperature of nearby climate stations in Wyoming and western Nebraska, USA, were studied to understand the seasonality of soil carbonate formation in semi-arid to arid temperate montane settings.
