Abstract
The continuous siliciclastic dominant system indicates continuous humid climate during the P-T transition–Induan (including the Smithian); it went through hinterland drying during most of the Spathian, followed by short term of humid conditions redevelopment during the late Olenekian; hinterland drying during the latest Olenekian was followed by humid conditions on the Olenekian-Anisian transition, twice at the Pelsonian, and during the Illyrian. Insights from the symmetric and asymmetric correlation of the climate fluctuations in the hinterlands of the northern and southern margins of the western tropical Tethyan seaway may light up the possible effects of the ICTZ behavior pattern and to considered possible extra-tropical forces on the periodic climate variations.
