Mid-Cretaceous thick carbonate accumulation in Northern Lhasa (Tibet): eustatic vs. tectonic control?

Yiwei Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the accumulation and formation mechanism of carbonates in the northern Lhasa terrane during the mid-Cretaceous. Through detailed sedimentological and stratigraphic investigation, three stages of paleogeographic evolution were identified. The study emphasizes the eustatic control on the evolution, modulated by tectonic subsidence and carbonate productivity.

Exploring a lost ocean in the Tibetan Plateau: Birth, growth, and demise of the Bangong-Nujiang Ocean

Xiumian Hu et al.

Summary: This article reviews the evidence on the Bangong-Nujiang suture zone and adjacent geological domains, focusing on the oceanic history and geological evolution of the region. Key issues discussed include plate tectonics, nature of microcontinents, oceanic subduction, and timing of continental collision.

A Single Dras-Kohistan-Ladakh Arc Revealed by Volcaniclastic Records

Goran Andjic et al.

Summary: Despite the uncertainty surrounding the tectonic interpretations of arc remnants in the Himalayan orogen, this study provides new constraints on the Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the Dras and Kohistan-Ladakh arcs. By examining the provenance results from volcaniclastic rocks, the study suggests a Late Jurassic to Paleocene tectonic connection between these units. It also proposes that the evolution of one convergent margin shifted from a primitive to a mature stage during the Late Cretaceous. These findings are important for reevaluating the competing scenarios of the Mesozoic evolution of the India-Eurasia convergent system.

The Lower Cretaceous Tuburan Limestone of Cebu Island, Philippines: Microfacies, micropalaeontology, biostratigraphy, and palaeogeographic perspectives

Jerali Rodrigo et al.

Summary: In this study, the occurrence of orbitolinids in the Tuburan Limestone from Cebu Island, Central Philippines, was reported and their ages were determined more accurately through taxonomic analysis. The results showed that the Tuburan Limestone is of late Aptian age. Additionally, the study found a scarcity of Lower Cretaceous dictyoconids in the Tuburan Limestone, which may be attributed to the absence of suitable environmental conditions. A model was proposed to explain the formation process and geological history of the Tuburan Limestone.

First report of Acanthochaetetes (Porifera: Demospongiae) from the Cretaceous Khalsi Formation, Ladakh Himalaya, India

Prasenjit Barman et al.

Summary: The Cretaceous chaetetid sponge Acanthochaetetes huauclillensis was reported for the first time in the Aptian-Cenomanian Khalsi Formation in Ladakh Himalaya, India. Its growth form suggests adaptation to constant sedimentation rates or irregular substrate, and indicates a calm reef-like microenvironment. This discovery extends its stratigraphic range in the eastern Tethyan realm.
