Abstract

Abstract

The Hongliuxia region of Yumen basin in northern margin of the Tibetan plateau is the only place where the silicified woods are concentrated and consecutively distributed. These cluster extinctions of the ancient extinct life may be related to the catastrophic event usually. In this paper, it presents an account of the characteristics and strata bearing of the silicified woods, further discusses the evolution of the Yumen basin and the formation of the silicified woods. The results show that the Yumen basin has experienced the growth, expansion and the shrink of the ancient lake. During the growth and the expansion stage of the lake, the paleoclimate was hot and moist, and trees were growing around the ancient lakeside. During the Early Cretaceous between 102-120 Ma, with the reactivation of Altyn Tagh fault (ATF), large-scale volcanic activities occurred in Yumen basin. The volcanism led to the large-scale burning and burial of the tall arbor tree vegetation, finally forming the silicified wood fossil belt. Formation and evolution of Yumen basin are mainly controlled and affected by the activity of the ATF since the Early Cretaceous.
