特提斯海

新疆的大部分地区过去曾是特提斯海（Tethys）的一部分，所以现代野果林植被仍保留有古地中海成分的残迹（5.25%）；

The majority area of Xinjiang was ever one part of the Tethys Sea , and some remains of floristic elements ( 5.25 % ) from Old Mediterranean could still be found .

根据pk-2井中的菊石属于地中海沿岸地理亚种这一事实，提出我国东部在白垩纪早期可能与特提斯海有某种联系。

According to the fact that Holcophylloceras caucasicum found in pk-2well belongs to the geographic subspecies of Mediterranean coastal areas , it is suggested that there could be certain connection between East China and Tethys Sea during early Cretaceous period .

华南二叠&三叠系的成因地层序列及古特提斯海重建

Genetic Stratigraphic Sequence of Permian to Triassic Series and Reconstruction of Paleo-Tethys Ocean in South China

结果表明：塔里木海湾消亡、副特提斯海最终退出塔里木盆地发生在4。

The results show : The age of Tarim Gulf dried out and Paratethys Sea finally retreat from Tarim Basin is4 .

但是，在特提斯海扩张时期，如侏罗纪巴通期，随着特提斯生物大区北界的北移，特提斯双壳类可散布至英格兰北部。

During the spreading of the Tethys , however , Tethyan elements could be dispersed to England with the northward migration of the northern limit of the Tethyan Realm .

至渐新世，印度板块与欧亚板块在帕米尔地区碰撞拼合，盆地彻底与古特提斯海分离，形成统一的内陆盆地。

To the Oligocene , the Indian Plate collided and integrated with the Eurasian Plate in the Pamirs , the Tarim Basin was completely separated from the Tethys , and became a continental basin .

华南二叠系形成于基底构造不均一的陆表海盆地，古特提斯海的演化控制着华南板块上二叠纪的构造格局及沉积、聚煤作用。

Permian System of Southern China formed in the epicontinental basin which there are unhomogeneous basal structure . On the Southern China plate , the permian structural frame and sedimentation and coal - accumulation , were controlled by evolution of Tethys sea .
