Climatic and tectonic controls on Cretaceous-Palaeogene sea-level changes recorded in the Tarim epicontinental sea

During Late Cretaceous to Eocene times, a vast epicontinental sea existed in the western Tarim Basin of China, and its appearance, evolution, and demise played an important role in the paleogeographic and paleoclimatic history of central Asia. Sea-level changes in the Tarim Sea and its controlling f...
