The <em>in situ</em> lingulids, with small size (≤ 1 cm), occur associated with <em>Lingulichnus</em>, suggesting fast burial under high sedimentation rates, and are concentrated in initial transgressive systems tracts in the study area. In this way, isolated <em>in situ</em> lingulids or associated with <em>Lingulichnus</em> can be a good indicator of high sedimentation rates, and demonstrate the preferential preservation of small organism unable to escape from the fast burial.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48708,"journal":{"name":"Palaeoworld","volume":"34 4","pages":"Article 200906"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143642670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the Palaeocene, LBF thrived throughout the Neo-Tethyan Ocean, especially in the eastern Neo-Tethys. However, previous studies on Palaeocene LBF biostratigraphy in this area are relatively poor. This paper presents a detailed stratigraphic study of LBF and strontium isotope from the Palaeocene limestones at Guru, south Tibet. About 68 species of 29 genera were identified, among which 19 species are reported for the first time from south Tibet. Following an Oppel zone approach and adopting some key index fossils that are widely accepted in the Neo-Tethys, four Shallow Benthic Zones (SBZ) ranging from SBZ 2 to SBZ 5 were recognised. Based on detailed LBF changes in each SBZ, we tentatively divide SBZ 2 (uppermost Danian–upper Selandian), SBZ 3 (upper Selandian–middle Thanetian), and SBZ 5 (upper Thanetian) into 3, 3, and 2 sub-biozones, respectively. The <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr ratios from 42 bulk carbonate samples were measured to construct an independent age framework for the Palaeocene limestones. Integration of LBF and <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr data yielded a high-resolution stratigraphy and provided absolute age controls for each SBZ. Ages of SBZ 2, SBZ 3, SBZ 4, and SBZ 5 were estimated to be ∼62–60 Ma, ∼60–57.4 Ma, ∼57.4–57 Ma, and ∼57–56 Ma, respectively.
