Abstract The Haojiagou section， located in the southern margin of the Junggar Basin， is of great significance in studying the Triassic-Jurassic Boundary events. The lower part of the section(bed 4 to bed 44)belongs to the Haojiagou Formation that is assigned to the Upper Triassic， and the interval of bed 45 to bed 102 is the Badaowan Formation that is considered to be the Lower Jurassic. The palynological data show that the gymnosperm pollen grains dominate all the Haojiagou Formation， and fern spores have higher proportion than the gymnosperm pollen grains in the lower member of the Badaowan Formation. Taking into account that most ferns adapt to warm and humid climatic environment， we believe that it was warmer and more humid in the Early Jurassic than in the Late Triassic. Organic carbon isotope data from the Haojiagou section demonstrate that δ13C curve has an obvious negative excursion(less than -24.5‰)in the interval of bed 44 to bed 68， while the underlying and overlying strata have similar δ13C values(greater than -24.5‰). Analyses of charcoal samples show a similar negative excursion in bed 44 to bed 59. According to the results of ecological research， sedimentary organic matter has lighter carbon isotope values when the climate is warm and humid. Therefore， it is concluded that at the beginning of the Early Jurassic the climate was warmer and more humid than before and afterward.
