Abstract

The authors comment on a study focusing on the elevation of the India-Asia suture zone during mid-Cenozoic time and the evidence regarding it from Paleosols of Liuqu Conglomerate in China. Topics discussed include the stable isotopes used in the study, the paleoelevation history and geodynamic mechanism of the Himalayan orogen, and the use of plant megafossil leaves and tuffites in Liuqu Conglomerate to analyze geologic history.
