    • To reconstruct the paleoclimate in the Miocene, clay mineralogy of the Xunhua sediments was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. Our results show that clay minerals of the Miocene sediments are mainly illite and smectite, with minor chlorite, kaolinite, and palygorskite. The apparent changes in their relative contents and illite crystallinity suggest that warm and humid paleoclimate conditions prevailed over the period of 23.1—21.2 Ma, then the mainly cold and dry climate succeeded in the period of 21.2—14.3 Ma, with short intervals of warm and humid climate conditions. The mainly warm and humid climate dominated in the period of 14.3-10.6 Ma, and it changed into a mainly cold and dry climate in the period of 10.6—9.3 Ma. The paleoclimate of the episode of 9.3—5.2 Ma was warm and humid, and it fluctuated frequently between cold/dry and warm/humid. The rapid changes in clay indices in the curves at 21.2 Ma and 5.8 Ma probably suggest the uplift in Xunhua of Qinghai-Tibet plateau.
