| 摘要 | This study presents fades analysis and carbonate stable isotopic records of a 4435-m-thick Oligocene-middle Miocene (similar to 30 to similar to 11 Ma) stratigraphic section from the southwestern Qaidam basin, which place constraints on the interplay between topographic growth and climatic/hydrologic changes in the northern Tibetan Plateau. Three types of carbonate, including marl/limestone, pedogenic carbonate and carbonate cement, were collected and went through detailed screening for diagenesis. Carbonate cements are primary early diagenetic carbonates formed in shallow ground water setting. The majority of marls/limestones and pedogenic carbonates are primary micritic carbonates, whereas a few of them showing alterations were sub-sampled to avoid diagenetic phases. A negative shift in the delta O-18 values of marls/limestones and depositional environment change from palustrine to shallow lacustrine associated with paleohydrological change at similar to 20 Ma are likely caused by tectonic activity in adjacent ranges. Around 15-14 Ma, a decrease of similar to 1.5 parts per thousand in the most negative delta O-18 values of carbonate cements is interpreted to reflect the topographic growth of surrounding mountain ranges (i.e., Altun Shan, East Kunlun Range). This inference is supported by the sedimentary fades change from marginal lacustrine to fluvial that was accompanied by an abrupt increase in sedimentation rate. Finally, a similar to 1.5 parts per thousand positive shift in the most negative delta O-18 values of carbonate cements and pedogenic carbonates, enriched delta C-13 values of pedogenic carbonates, as well as sedimentary environment change from fluvial to braided river/alluvial fan at 13-12 Ma, most likely reflect a regional aridification event observed over a large area of the Central Asia. This aridification event may have been associated with continued topographic growth of the northern Tibetan Plateau to a critical elevation to block moisture (e.g., Westerlies) from penetrating the interior of Central Asia.
