No high Tibetan plateau until the Neogene
The Late Paleogene surface height and paleoenvironment for the core area of the Qinghai-
Tibetan Plateau (QTP) remain critically unresolved. Here, we report the discovery of the
youngest well-preserved fossil palm leaves from Tibet. They were recovered from the Late
Paleogene (Chattian), ca. 25.5±0.5 million years, paleolake sediments within the Lunpola
Basin (32.033° N, 89.767° E), central QTP at a present elevation of 4655 m. The anatomy of
palms renders them intrinsically susceptible to freezing, imposing upper bounds on their …
