Abstract:The stratigraphic sequence, framework and thickness of the abyssal-bathyal Cretaceous in Gyangze, the northern Tethyan Himalayas, South Xizang(Tibet), are revised in this paper. It is proposed that the Jiabula Formations: Chuangde Formation and Zongzhuo Formation constitute the Cretaceous in this area, in which their sequences, ages and thicknesses are distinctively different from the previous ones. The Jiabula Formation, aged from Berriasian to Santonian, is composed of black shale with intercalated turbiditic sandstone, lenticular limestone and pyrite
