Data for: Birth and evolution of the Central Asian proto-Paratethys Sea driven by Early Cretaceous tectonism and Late Cretaceous cooling

Includes lithostratigraphic (correlation of the formations between the Tajik and Tarim basins) sedimentologic (description of facies, facies associations and depositional environments), magnetostratigraphic (mean paleomagnetic results chart) and biostratigraphic (range charts for nannofossils and dinocysts) data from this study. See text and supporting information for details of the sedimentologic, magnetostratigraphic, and biostratigraphic analyses and discussion of the data.
