摘要

The Kunlun Pass Basin, at the foothill of YuzhuMountain (6224masl and the highest peak of the Kunlun Range), records Plio-Pleistocene fine-grained sediments sandwiched between glacial moraines. We document a new vertebrate fossil assemblage, the Yuzhu Fauna, with 16 mammal and 2 fish species that provide insights into basin chronology as well as the paleoenvironment adjacent to alpine glaciations in the Pliocene, in which the mammals and fishes lived. The Yuzhu Fauna consists of the following eight small mammals: Petenyia sp., Aepyosciurus sp., Nannocricetus mongolicus, cf. Orientalomys sinensis, Mimomys n. sp., Prosiphneus cf. P. eriksoni, Ochotona minor, Ochotona cf. O. lagreli, and eight large mammals: Rhinocerotidae indet., Hipparion (Proboscidipparion) pater, Qurliqnoria sp., Bovidae indet., cf. Panthera blytheae, Hyaeninae indet., Vulpes qiuzhudingi, and aff. Arctomeles sp. Two cyprinid fishes are also included: Gymnocypris sp. and Triplophysa sp. The Yuzhu Fauna has a distinctly early-middle Pliocene appearance, substantially earlier than previous age estimates, sharing broad similarities with vertebrate fossil assemblages from North China in general and the Zanda Fauna in southern Tibet in particular, including three carnivorans (Vulpes qiuzhudingi, cf. Panthera blytheae, and aff. Arctomeles sp.), one artiodactyl (Qurliqnoria), and at least two rodents (Aepyosciurus and Prosiphneus) and a lagomorph (Ochotona). We re-interpret published magnetostratigraphy to arrive at a correlation of the Yuzhu Fauna to the lower part of Chron 2Ar (Gilbert Chron 4.2-3.6 Ma), and the entire basin sequence spanning part of chrons 1n through 3n.3n, i.e., ~4.9-0.5 Ma. Our revised magnetic age for the Kunlun Pass Basin strata implies a slip rate of 7.2-6.1 mm/year along this part of the Kunlun Pass strike-slip fault system, much slower than its modern rate of off set.

Panthera blytheae和aff。Arctomeles sp。),一个偶蹄动物(Qurliqnoria)和至少两个啮齿动物(Aepyosciurus和Prosiphneus)和一个泻湖动物(Ochotona)。我们重新解释已发表的地层学,以得出玉竹动物群与2Ar年代下部(吉尔伯特Chron 4.2-3.6 Ma)之间的相关性,以及整个盆地序列(从1n到3n.3n的一部分),即〜4.9。 -0.5马我们对昆仑山口盆地地层的磁性年龄进行了修订,这意味着昆仑山口走滑断层系统这部分的滑移速率为7.2-6.1毫米/年,远低于其现代偏移速率。
