It was documented to have opened during the Permian, Early Palaeozoic or Mesozoic times. The Permian faunas and their palaeobiogeographical affinities of the Lhasa and South Qiangtang blocks bordered by the Bangong-Nujiang Suture Zone are crucial for reconstructing the tectonic evolution of both blocks and determining the opening time of the BNO. This paper describes two new lower Cisuralian brachiopod faunas from the uppermost Yunzhug Formation of the Lhasa Block and the Zhanjin Formation of the South Qiangtang Block. These two faunas exhibit a high similarity in composition, both containing species of <em>Bandoproductus</em>, <em>Spirelytha</em> and <em>Sulciplica thailandica</em>. Comparable brachiopod faunas are found from the glaciomarine diamictites in the blocks of the eastern Cimmerian belt including the Baoshan, Irrawaddy and Sibuma, as well as the Tethys Himalaya and the Gondwanaland. They are herein named the <em>Bandoproductus</em>-<em>Spirelytha</em> association, which exhibits apparent Gondwanan affinities. Cluster analysis and principal components analysis are employed to conduct a palaeobiogeographical reconstruction of the Asselian–Sakmarian brachiopod faunas primarily from the aforementioned tectonic units. A single palaeobiogeographical unit, the Indoralian Province, is recognised and represented by the unified brachiopod association. This suggests that most of the Cimmerian blocks, including the Lhasa and South Qiangtang blocks, were attached to the northern Gondwanan margin during the early Cisuralian. This is in contrast to our previous results revealed by multiple quantitative analyses for the Kungurian–Roadian brachiopod faunas in the Tethys, which show distinct faunal differences between the Lhasa and South Qiangtang blocks. This palaeobiogeographical discrepancy suggests that the two blocks probably had varying northward drifting tempos after they detached from the Gondwanaland, that is, the South Qiangtang Block drifted faster and incorporated into the temperate-warm region of the Northern Cimmerian Subprovince; whereas the Lhasa Block drifted relatively slowly and retained to be close to the northern Gondwanan margin and belonged to the Southern Cimmerian Subprovince during the late Cisuralian. The faunal differences provided critical implications that the BNO probably had opened in the Artinskian and reached a certain width with distinct faunal differences during the Kungurian.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48708,"journal":{"name":"Palaeoworld","volume":"33 3","pages":"Pages 679-705"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139398480","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}

However, climatic response to the sunspot cycles in high-altitude areas under greenhouse condition is still unclear, largely due to the lack of high-resolution palaeoclimatic data. Here we present a continuous, 30-cm-long core sample from the Eocene upper Xiaganchaigou Formation in the southwestern Qaidam Basin in the northern Tibetan Plateau. This core is marked by well-preserved annually chemogenic varves, composed of couplets of light micrite and dark clastic laminae. Varve thickness mainly ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 mm. Power spectrum of the bed number series of varve thickness shows a distinct cycle with a period of ∼20 year, which can be related to the 22-year Hale sunspot cycle. In addition, we use XRF (X-ray fluorescence) Ca concentration and K/Ti ratio data and μ-XRF (micro-X-ray fluorescence) Ca and K intensity data as paleoclimate proxies to conduct detailed cyclostratigraphic analyses. Power spectra of these proxies show sedimentary cycles at wavelengths of ∼40–12 mm, ∼8–3 mm, 3–1 mm and 0.2–0.1 mm, which are most likely caused by the ∼90-year Gleissberg sunspot cycle, 22-year Hale sunspot cycle, 11-year Schwabe sunspot cycle and annually seasonal cycle, respectively. The consistent results from the above five independent paleoclimate proxies indicate that climate in the high-altitude Qaidam Basin in the Eocene greenhouse period was paced by multiple-scale sunspot cycles. Periodic variances in total solar irradiance (TSI) and galactic cosmic ray (GCR)-related clouds paced by sunspot cycles may play a key role on modulating regional climatic changes in the Qaidam Basin.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48708,"journal":{"name":"Palaeoworld","volume":"33 3","pages":"Pages 788-799"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49229546","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}

This study conducted the sedimentary characteristic analyses and detrital zircon U-Pb dating of the Middle Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous strata exposed in the northern part of Nagqu County (NPNC), Tibet. The Middle–Upper Jurassic Lagongtang Formation was mainly deposited in a steep slope delta and its middle part is characterized by debris flows moving southeastward.

Meanwhile, the Early Devonian floral differentiation between the Longmenshan region and the southern part of the Yangtze Block, such as Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, also leads to controversy. Here we report U-Pb ages of detrital zircons from Lower Devonian sandstones of the Longmenshan region, providing evidence to discuss the tectonic affinity of the Longmenshan region and possible reasons for the Early Devonian floral differentiation. Detrital zircon U-Pb age patterns show that the Pingyipu Group defines three principal age populations of 2.6–2.4 Ga, 1.2–0.7 Ga, and 0.7–0.5 Ga, with two minor distributions of 1.8–1.5 Ga and 480–420 Ma. This U-Pb age spectrum is consistent with that of the Lower Devonian Danlin Formation of Guizhou, indicating that the Pingyipu Group and the Danlin Formation might share the same or similar sources. Together with fossil evidence, it is suggested that the Devonian sedimentary successions in the Longmenshan region are deposited in the western margin of the Yangtze Block, indicating the western boundary of this block is likely in somewhere to the west of Longmenshan fault, such as the Longriba fault. The Neoproterozoic strata located between the Longmenshan region and Yunnan–Guizhou provinces contain dominant Paleoproterozoic detrital zircons (2.1–1.9 Ga), however, this population is almost absent in the Pingyipu Group and the Danlin Formation, suggesting that there might not exist a denudation area (about 3000 masl) to supply sediments for Lower Devonian strata and separate the Longmenshan region and Guizhou. Therefore, the Early Devonian floral differentiation between the Longmenshan region and Yunnan–Guizhou provinces might not be caused by tectonic or mountainous barriers as previously suggested, but instead, might be caused by different depositional ages of the strata at a finer temporal resolution and environmental factors, such as different climatic conditions and/or habitat heterogeneity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48708,"journal":{"name":"Palaeoworld","volume":"33 3","pages":"Pages 570-583"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"55106008","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}
