Cretaceous rift basin evolution was an important part of the tectonic history of northeast Asia
in the late Mesozoic. Three types of rift basins are identified—active, passive and wide rift …

The tectonic evolution of the Paleo‐Asian Ocean between the North China Block (NCB) and
the Mongolia Block (MOB) is a contentious issue, and geodynamic models remain …

This paper aims to reconstruct early Mesozoic tectonic settings of the northern North China
craton based on investigations of Triassic–Middle Jurassic successions and age …

Abstract In North China, the Mesozoic terrestrial basins, sedimentary palaeogeography and
tectonic settings involved five evolutionary stages:(1) the Early‒Middle Triassic,(2) the Late …

The Yanshan fold-and-thrust belt (YFTB) on the northern margin of the eastern North China
Craton (NCC) contains a succession of Jurassic volcano-sedimentary rocks that record the …

Although both the Yanliao and Jehol vertebrate assemblages are known for exceptional
preservation of feathered dinosaurs, mammals, pterosaurs, lizards, salamanders, and fish …

Abstract The Early–Middle Jurassic period represented a crucial juncture for the Northeast
Asian continent, marked by significant geological transformations. These included the initial …

Abstract The Valanginian and Hauterivian stages of the Early Cretaceous are an important
time interval for the co-evolution of key vertebrate taxa and flowering angiosperm, as well as …

Multiple shortening took place during the Mesozoic in the periphery of the North China block
(NCB), a major tectonic grain of East Asia, but no consensus exists as to the timing, intensity …

Abstract The Lower Cretaceous fluvial-lacustrine deposits in the Luanping Basin (northern
Hebei Province, China) contain records of the famous Jehol Biota and are important for …
