The well-developed section of the Rift about 300 km long and 10—20kin wide, starts from Lhazhulong in Xizang (Tibet) and ends in the southern margin of the Tarim Basin. In the northern part of the Rift stands over the accumulated terraces an abandoned castle called the 'Kuyak' pass served as the key to Xizang in ancient times. However,展开更多

From there several hundred pieces of fossils, identified as of different sorts of dinosaurs and other paleovertebrate animals such as Pliosaurus and Pterosaurus, have been excavated out, including about 20 complete or relatively complete skeletons.
