Lithofacies analysis is an important research method to explore the source region, background, and nature of sedimentary basins. Through the systematic investigation of several late Cretaceous strata in Nepal, situated on the south flank of the Himalayas, the Tulsipur and Butwal sections conducted detailed lithology and sedimentary facies analysis. Continuous strata include the Taltang Fm. , Amile Fm. , Bhainskati Fm. and Dumri Fm. from bottom to top. The lithology contains terrigenous clastic rocks such as conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone and mudstone, chemical rocks such as limestone and siliceous rock, as well as special lithology such as coal seam, carbonaceous layer and oxidation crust. Both sections have various colors and sedimentary structures, which are good materials for the analysis of lithofacies evolution. According to the characteristics of lithofacies and sedimentary assemblage revealed that the Nepal sedimentary environment evolution during the late Cretaceous, which experienced the marine, fluvial, lacustrine, and delta evolution process.

The data include the Cenozoic plant fossils collected from Gansu, Qinghai and Yunnan by the Department of paleontology, School of Geological Sciences and mineral resources, Lanzhou University from 2019 to 2020. All the fossils were collected by the team members in the field and processed in the laboratory by conventional fossil restoration methods and cuticle experiment methods. The fossils are basically well preserved, some of which are horned The study of these plant fossils is helpful to understand the Cenozoic paleoenvironment, paleoclimate, paleogeographic changes and vegetation features of the eastern Qinghai Tibet Plateau.

The Yarlung Zangbo suture zone and its neighbouring areas are crucial for the research of the evolution of Neo-Tethys. The earliest evidence of the formation of Neo-Tethys remains to be discovered and the sequence of the basin evolution in many areas, such as the eastern and western Xizang, is far from well established. The limits in stratigraphy and sedimentology have greatly restricted the investigation of the evolution of Neo-Tethys as well as the collision between Indian-Eurasian plates. This exploration team conducted a joint investigation on the Mesozoic strata in some key areas in eastern, central, and southern Xizang, with emphasis on their stratigraphy, palaeontology, and sedimentology, to retrieve potential stratigraphic and sedimentary evidence of the opening, evolution, and retreat of the Neo-Tethys in the region. This dataset is a collection of the exploration, which includes diaries and photos of the strata, geological structure, profiles, and fossils that have been collected in the above-mentioned areas. It consists of three items. The explored strata include the Jurassic-Cretaceous in Luolong and Basu counties, eastern Xizang, in Renbu and Lang counties, central Xizang, and the radiolarite strata in Ngari.

Previous works have been undertaking on the geochemistry of some basic rocks within the Yaelung Zangbo suture zone, and it was proposed that the Jurassic-Cretaceous seamount type basement basic rocks are preserved in Zhongba and Renbu area. In this work, we conducted analysis of trace element for seventeen basic rock samples underlain below limestone blocks in Lhaze area within the central Yarlung Zangbo suture zone, southern Tibet. Results show that the rocks are dominated by basalts and have a feature of EMORB type with NMORB and OIB types. Combined with the overlain carbonates, these rocks are proposed the basement of paleo-seamounts, the Permian vestige preserved within the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone. This recognition of paleo-seamount implies that the Neotethys Ocean could have been already opened at the time (before the Middle Permian epoch).

With a depositional history spanning the early Aptian to early Albian (~19 mys), the Lower Cretaceous Xinminpu Group in Jiuquan, NW China provides abundant animal and plant fossils. This area is the represented study area of the Lower Cretaceous in China. The absence of a comprehensive stratigraphical framework for this area however limits the degree to which the unit can be interpreted relative to coeval sections and the geological records in genera. This investigation from July 9 to July 11 focuses on the Lower Cretaceous in this area, and collected abundant fossil and rock samples for biostratigraphic and stratigraphic analysis. This dataset includes: stratigraphic column of the Chijinpu Formation in the East Xiagou outcrop, and photographs of outcrops and represented fossils; stratigraphic column of the Xiagou Formation in the Changma outcrop and a photo of bird-bearing outcrop.

The Sixth Zhabuye Section locates at the northern part of the Zhabuye salt lake in Zhongba County, Tibet. The Middle Permian carbonates of the Xiala Formation outcropped very well in the region. This section has a thickness of 200 meters and was divided into 6 units. The lower 50 meters of the section is composed of limestones and chert layers. The chert layers in the above 100 meters decreased significantly, but they reappear in the top 35 meters. This section has abundant fusulines and smaller foraminifers. The fusulines has two assemblages, respectively Neoschwagerina majulensis-Kahlerina pachytheca assemblage in the lower and Chusenella quasifera-Codonofusiella nana assemblage in the upper. The foraminifers are divided into three assemblages, respectively Glomomidiellopsis specialisaeformis-Pachyphloia multiseptata assemblage, Lysites biconcavus-Shanita amosi assemblage and Lasiodiscus tenuis-Neoendothyra reicheli assemblage.

The Mujiucuo section locates at the west of the Mujiucuo salt lake in Xainza County, Tibet. The Permian sequences oupcropped very well at the section. The Permian sequence at the section was divided into five formations, respectively Yunzhub, Largar, Angjie, Xiala and Mujiucuo formations. The Yunzhub Formation is composed of sandstone. The upper part of this formation contains limestone interlayers with 8 species of brachiopods. The brachiopods are grouped into the Costatumulus-Bandoproductus assemblage. The Xiala Formation is composed of entirely carbonates. The purplish limestone in the base of Xiala Formation consists of 6 species of brachiopods. They are grouped into the Alispiriferella-Retimarginifera celeteria assemblage. The overlying bed only contains one species Permophricodothyris elegantula. The brachiopods from these beds overall show a Gondwanan type in palaeobiogeography. It suggests that the Lhasa Block located not far away from the Gondwana margin. According to the constraints by fusulines and conodonts, the ages of beds 83, 86 and 87 are Middle Permian whereas those of beds 88 and 89 are late Permian. Brachiopods are found in many beds in the Xiala Formation. They are divided into two separate assemblages, respectively Echinauris opuntia-Neoplicatifera in the lower and Spinomarginifera lopingensis-Chonetinella cymatilis in the upper. Compared with the brachiopods from the Yunzhub Formation and basal Xiala Formation below, both assemblages from the middle and upper part of the Xiala Formation exhibit a pronounced palaeobiogeographical changes.

The Mujiucuo section locates at the west of the Mujiucuo salt lake in Xainza County, Tibet. The Permian sequences oupcropped very well at the section. The beds from 83 to 89 consists mainly of bioclastic limestone with abundant fusulines and foraminifers. After careful examination, 13 species of fusulines and 37 species of smaller foraminifers are identified at the section. In terms of the occurrences of those fusulines and smaller foraminifers, the fusulines are subdivided into the lower Nankinella-Chusenella assemblage of Middle Permian and upper Codonofusiella schubertelloides zone of Late Permian. Similarly, the smaller foraminifers are also divided into lower Agathammina vachardi-Hemigordiopsis subglobosa assemblage and upper Glomomidiellopsis xainzaensis-Midiella reicheli assemblage. The dominance of Miliolinids in the section suggests an overall warm-water depositional settings.
