“…In the Zahosu Basin, the Permian series consist of marine sediments followed by the emplacement of Upper Permian volcanics and volcanoclastics deposits . These series are unconformably overlaid by Early -Middle Jurassic sediments corresponding to alluvial to lacustrine deposits containing extensive coal beds (Li et al, 2014;Li et al, 2015). The stratigraphic evolution of both the Yili and Zahosu basins is then characterized by a Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous hiatus in sedimentation (Fig.…”

In Central Asia, numerous fragments of planation surfaces are visible within the present day topography. However, their precise timing of formations is still poorly constrained and it is not clear if they are remnants of a single extensive planation surface or if they represent different planation episodes. By reconstructing the landscape evolution of the Tian Shan region and by analyzing the relations between the planation surfaces preserved within the eastern Tarim Basin and the sedimentary record, we demonstrate that the numerous erosional surfaces preserved within the Tian Shan Range represent different episodes of surfaces genesis. These erosion events span from the late Paleozoic to the Early Cenozoic. The widespread preservation of large fragments of these surfaces within the Tian Shan Range implies that this region did not undergo strong relief building during most of its Mesozoic evolution but was dominated by plains associated to small hills along episodically active discrete tectonic structures. Finally, the preservation of these surfaces within the active Tian Shan Range implies a long-term, strong non-equilibrium state of the topography during its Cenozoic evolution. This was probably promoted by the arid to semi-arid climate prevailing since the Late Paleogene onset of relief building.

The strongly intracontinental Tian Shan region, in Central Asia represents a key area to understand the long term evolution of continents in general and Asia in particular. If its Paleozoic and Cenozoic geodynamics are well understood, its Mesozoic evolution remains poorly constrained. In order to decipher the paleogeographic and large-scale tectonic evolution of the Tian Shan area during the Jurassic, we compiled, detailed field analyses of sedimentary rocks acquired within and around the Chinese Tian Shan region together with previously published data. We present three paleogeographical maps corresponding to the late Earlyearly Middle Jurassic, late Middleearly Late Jurassic and Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous transition periods. We provide a large-scale picture of the Jurassic paleogeographic and climatic evolution of the Tian Shan region and discuss the geological
