Review of the Cenozoic fossil fishes from the Tibetan Plateau and their bearings on paleoenvironment

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: The past two decades have witnessed a renewed vigor in research on geological history of the Tibetan Plateau and the newly emerged paleontological evidence has added a crucial, biological dimension to the scientific quest. Here we review an important part of that paleontological evidence, from fossil fishes, and its implications for interpreting evolutionary history of the plateau. We also provide our thought on the future research directions toward a more holistic approach to the understanding of uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau.
