Summary: This study investigated the mechanisms of hydrocarbon generation and migration in the Fuxin Basin using organic geochemistry and oil-source correlation analyses. The results revealed that the upper Jiufotang and Shahai formations are the main source rock intervals in the basin. The destruction of the North China Craton during the Early Cretaceous promoted hydrocarbon generation, while the subduction of the Western Pacific plate during the Late Cretaceous triggered hydrocarbon migration in the basin.

Summary: A detailed analysis of sedimentation and thermal history in the Fuxin Basin revealed the control of detachment tectonism on basin evolution and highlighted the importance of the Yiwulushan metamorphic core complex. The study indicates a general increase in paleotemperature towards the eastern part of the basin due to the effects of sedimentary fill, shear heating, transpression, and fault displacement from detachment tectonism. Results emphasize the significance of dynamic evolution in characterizing the sedimentation and thermal history of supra-detachment basins for understanding subduction systems and resource development.

Summary: Extant terrestrial vertebrates, including birds, have symbiotic relationships with insects and arachnids, but arthropod-vertebrate symbioses in the fossil record are rarely found. In this study, direct and indirect evidence of beetles feeding on feather remains from an undetermined theropod host 105 million years ago is presented. An exceptional amber assemblage was found, including beetle larval exuviae associated with feathers, along with additional amber pieces containing isolated larval exuviae. The morphological and taphonomic data suggest that these beetle larval exuviae belonged to a keratophagous species, indicating a symbiotic relationship between beetles and their Early Cretaceous relatives similar to current ecosystems.

Summary: A multi-proxy study of the late Aptian to Albian in the Fuxin lacustrine basin reveals the presence of three short-term negative carbon isotope excursions corresponding to the early Albian Oceanic Anoxic Event 1b (OAE 1b). The study suggests that volcanic activity and a CO2-forced greenhouse effect may have driven these events, while chemical weathering increased during this period, possibly due to warmer and more humid conditions.

Summary: A new ankylosaurid dinosaur, Tarchia tumanovae, has been discovered in the Upper Cretaceous Nemegt Formation of Mongolia, with well-preserved fossils revealing unique features and potential adaptive changes during growth. Research suggests T. tumanovae exhibited selective feeding habits from the middle Campanian to the lower Maastrichtian, indicating a shift in ankylosaurid diets possibly in response to habitat changes and competition with other herbivores.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the Fuxin supradetachment basin and the Yiwulvshan metamorphic core complex (MCC) in NE China. The results indicate that the development of the Fuxin Basin is closely related to the different stages of development of the MCC. The study suggests that the rollback of the Paleo-Pacific Plate and retreat of the subduction trench played a key role in the formation of the basin and MCC.

Summary: The study found that Neogene crocodylians from Myanmar include at least three gavialids and two Crocodylus with different cranial and postcranial features. Additionally, the discovered gavialines in Myanmar have estimated body lengths exceeding the maximum size limit of extant species. Furthermore, the absence of Crocodylus siamensis in the Neogene of India and central Myanmar suggests the species originated east of central Myanmar.

Summary: Dinosaur eggshell fragments found in northeastern Russia are one of the northernmost records of dinosaur reproductive behaviors. Analysis of the eggshell fragments, adult dinosaur teeth, and fish scales shows that the eggs were laid at the very beginning of spring, benefiting from mild temperatures and increasing food availability. This timing allowed the hatchlings to grow large enough to survive the next winter or migrate southwards with adult dinosaurs.

Summary: Northern Xinjiang in China is an important part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, characterized by multiple episodes and types of mineralization. Cu and Au deposits are mostly found in Altay, Junggar, and Tianshan, with minor occurrences in Beishan. The most common types of Cu-Au deposits are volcanogenic and porphyry deposits. The formation of Cu-Au deposits can be divided into five mineralization episodes, with the Devonian and Carboniferous being the main periods. These deposits developed in various tectonic settings, including island arc, continental arc, collision, and postcollisional extensional tectonics.

Summary: Numerous lode gold and silver deposits have been discovered in orogenic belts in China. This study focuses on the formation and fluid evolutions of the super-large Yingdongpo gold and giant Poshan silver deposits in the Tongbai-Dabie orogen. The results suggest that both deposits were formed concurrently with Early Cretaceous granitic magmatism and the ore-forming fluids were primarily of magmatic origin with meteoric water inputting. The gold mineralization is related to a change in the physicochemical properties of the fluids, while the silver mineralization is favored by progressive deposition of sulfides in a slowly cooling hydrothermal system.

Summary: The Brahmaputra foreland basin, known for its dynamic tectonism and sediment load, exhibits a variety of seismically generated soft sediment deformation structures (SSDS) such as clastic dikes, sand sills, and micro-faults. These structures, influenced by multiple strong seismic events, are characterized by their dimensions, intrusion angles, cross-cutting relations, wall shattering, and age. The study suggests that a significant earthquake with high intensity and magnitude might have caused liquefaction features in the area. The findings highlight the importance of studying SSDS in tectonically active regions with limited surface ruptures and dense alluvial cover.

Summary: The extensively developed Early Cretaceous intermediate-felsic rocks in the northern North China Craton provide valuable insights into the nature of Paleo-Pacific subduction and associated geodynamic processes. Geochemical and geochronological analyses of trachyandesites and rhyolites from the eastern Hebei, northern NCC suggest that the trachyandesites likely originated from enriched mafic lower crust and the rhyolites are derived from the trachyandesitic magmas through fractional crystallization. The migration direction change of these rocks is believed to be primarily attributed to slab rollback of the subducting Paleo-Pacific Plate.

The upper section of the formation, primarily consisting of limestone, silty shale, and black shale, has been rarely studied but recently showed promising results for shale gas exploration. Geochemical investigations of the upper section shale deposits revealed that the organic matter enrichment mechanism underwent dynamic changes due to relative sea-level changes and episodic upwelling activities.

Summary: This study analyzed the heterogeneity of gas compositions and the effects of magmatism on gas accumulation in shale gas exploration in the Yangtze plate. The results showed that magmatism caused the development of micro-fractures in shale reservoirs and accelerated the thermal evolution rate of organic matter. The impact of magmatism on shale gas accumulation varied in different regions, either favoring or compromising efficient gas accumulation in shale reservoirs.
