Abstract:It is debated whether there was strong climate seasonality during the Eocene, which provides a close geological analogy for near‐future scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions. Lithological data suggest the existence of a broad arid zone centered around 30°N paleo‐latitude, while a humid climate was supported by palaeobotanic assemblages in East Asia. Here, we report the occurrence of massive primary lacustrine dolomite and magnesite in the central East Asia during the middle Eocene. We provide a novel perspecti… Show more
