Short summary

Significant climate changes and biotic turnovers occurred across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (KTB) interval. It is of great significance to carry out research on palaeoclimate evolution across the KTB in terrestrial basins because we lack many KTB records in this part of the world. Here we provide a new terrestrial record from the Nanxiong Basin (SE China) and compare it with marine records to provide reliable terrestrial records for future investigation of ocean–land climate interactions.
