Terrigenous clastic sediments are generated by the integration of the Earth surface processes and their deep-time counterparts provide a valuable archive for regional/global climatic, geographic and landscape evolution. It is thus important to read and interpret these deep-time sedimentary records, especially for reconstructing continent climate. Previous studies on the Early Permian sequences from the North China document a dominant control of source chemical weathering on mudstone compositions and its linkage with continent climate conditions. Based on the weathering geochemical data of these mudstones, element mobility during weathering can be ordered as Ca > Na ≥ Mg > Sr > K ≥ Ba > Rb. The weathering regime in the source area is inferred to be supply-limited according to the estimated continent physical erosion rate and regional tectonic evolution, sedimentation in North China. Further exploration of palaeoclimate implication is presented in terms of variation of high-to-low latitudinal temperature gradient across the Early Permian glacial to post-glacial climate transition.
