This book is the first of its kind on environmental change research devoted to monsoon-arid
environment evolution history and its mechanism involved. Capturing the most prominent …

Thick successions of middle and late Cenozoic sedimentary rocks occur in the Linxia Basin
of China. These deposits comprise an archive recording spatiotemporal patterns of …

The space–time pattern of development of high topography associated with the Tibetan
Plateau remains incomplete, due in large part to sparse proxy data that allow estimates of …

We use the carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of fossil tooth enamel and paleosols to
reconstruct the late Cenozoic history of vegetation and environmental change in the Linxia …

Abstract The Linxia Basin along the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau has drawn
enormous attention due to its rich mammalian fossils and great potential for exploring …

We report late Oligocene to late Pliocene micromammal assemblages from 19 localities of
the Linxia Basin of Gansu Province, China. Abundant material (> 7000 specimens) includes …

The Cenozoic biochronology framework for northern China has been based on few
vertebrate fossil localities with unverified age constraints. The Linxia Basin, located on the …

The Tibetan plateau experienced lateral growth in response to the India–Eurasia collision,
but uncertainties remain about when and how its present-day margins were formed. It was …

Based on field mapping, section measurement and magnetostratigraphy,∼ 1700m of
sedimentary rocks have accumulated in the Wushan basin between∼ 16Ma and∼ 6Ma …

This study reports on rhinocerotoid fossils from the Oligocene-Pleistocene strata of the
Linxia Basin of Gansu Province, northwestern China. Rhinoceroses have been important …
