The palynoflora from the Lower Cretaceous of Jiuquan Basin, Gansu Province, NW China, and its paleoclimate implication
The Lower Cretaceous Xinminpu Group in the Jiuquan Basin of Gansu Province is an important source rock. Many fossils have been found from the strata, such as early angiosperms, insects, birds and so on. So the Xinminpu Group is one of the hotspots in Cretaceous research. However, most previous studies focused on the outcrop sections and the upper part of the stratum. This paper mainly deals with the palynology of the lower part of the Xinminpu Group in boreholes. It is found that the content of the genus Classopollis (Cheirolepidiaceae) increases in a fluctuating manner upwards, reaching a maximum of 90 %. Considering the previous research, it is proposed that the climate change in the Jiuquan Basin during the Early Cretaceous involves two cycles, and each cycle showed a trend from warm and humid to dry and hot. The high - content zone of Classopollis in the middle - upper part of the Chijinpu Formation is compared with pre -OAE1a. The changes in the palynological assemblage of the Chijinpu Formation reveal the paleoclimate from pre - OAE1a to OAE1a.
期刊介绍:
Cretaceous Research provides a forum for the rapid publication of research on all aspects of the Cretaceous Period, including its boundaries with the Jurassic and Palaeogene. Authoritative papers reporting detailed investigations of Cretaceous stratigraphy and palaeontology, studies of regional geology, and reviews of recently published books are complemented by short communications of significant new findings.
Papers submitted to Cretaceous Research should place the research in a broad context, with emphasis placed towards our better understanding of the Cretaceous, that are therefore of interest to the diverse, international readership of the journal. Full length papers that focus solely on a local theme or area will not be accepted for publication; authors of short communications are encouraged to discuss how their findings are of relevance to the Cretaceous on a broad scale.
Research Areas include:
• Regional geology
• Stratigraphy and palaeontology
• Palaeobiology
• Palaeobiogeography
• Palaeoceanography
• Palaeoclimatology
• Evolutionary Palaeoecology
• Geochronology
• Global events.
