Recently, a collaborative research team from Jilin University, the Xinjiang Geological Bureau, the China Geological Survey, and China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) published their latest findings in Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, a leading international journal in paleobotany. The study presents the first systematic report of fossil charcoal records from the Lower Jurassic Sangonghe Formation in the Hoxtolgay Basin, western margin of the Junggar Basin, northwestern Xinjiang, China, providing critical evidence for understanding Early Jurassic wildfire dynamics, paleoatmospheric oxygen level reconstruction, and paleoclimatic evolution.
