The sedimentary geochemical records of palaeovegetation and palaeoclimate variations in late Miocene-early Pliocene sediments in the Ying-Qiong Basin, South China Sea have been studied using higher plant-derived biomarkers, palynological records, trace elements, and macerals. Aliphatic biomarkers in...
