Late Oligocene-early Miocene palaeovegetation and palaeoclimate in the Ying-Qiong Basin, South China Sea were comprehensively reconstructed using higher plant-derived biomarkers, palynological records, clay minerals, and kerogen maceral compositions of shales. During the period from about 24.9–18.3 ...
