A journey to the Early Cretaceous dinosaur world
How the regional tectonics influence the biosphere in deep time? We discuss the development of the well-known Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota, and suggest its the spatio-temporal evolutioncoincides with the initial and peak stages of the North China craton (NCC) destruction in the Early Cretaceous.
