Palaeoclimate evolution and sequence stratigraphy during Pliocene Shizigou stage, Qaidam Basin
Shiyou shiyan dizhi, 2020 The Qaidam Basin is a large transpressional Mesozoic to Cenozoic basin in the Tibet Plateau, West China. Since the Indosinian Movement, it has been in the subsidence stage and more than 3 trillion cubic meters of natural gas accumulated at the same time.

Lacustrine mollusc radiations in the Lake Malawi Basin : experiments in a natural laboratory for evolution [PDF]
, 2012 In terminal Pliocene-early Pleistocene times, part of the Malawi Basin was occupied by paleo-lake Chiwondo. Molluscan biostratigraphy situates this freshwater lake either in the East African wet phase between 2.7-2.4 Ma or that of 2.0-1.8 Ma.
