- •
A ~ 24 m thick travertine succession interbedded with debris-flow layers occurs in southern Tibet.
- •
Depositional model links travertine and concomitant debris flow accumulation.
- •
Petrographic analyses suggest seasonal control mechanism on various travertine lithofacies.
- •
230Th/U ages constrain the lower part of the succession to the Middle Pleistocene, top-most ~ 8 m started accumulating in the earliest Holocene
