obliquity and eccentricity. Nevertheless, astronomical solutions do offer precise periodicity estimates for the pre-Cenozoic, enabling the use of astronomical cycles as an astrochronological metronome.
Our AFT thermochronological study and thermal history modeling on the crystalline basement of the Tuvinian mountain belts show that the basement of the entire investigated region shows a clear Late Jurassic, and mainly Cretaceous cooling that we relate to the exhumation of that basement. The exhumati...
