Carboniferous back-arc extension in the southern Yili-Central Tianshan Block and its significance to the formation of the Kazakhstan Orocline: insights from the Wusun Mountain volcanic belt
In Central Asia, the Carboniferous is a crucial period in the formation of the Tianshan Belt and associated bending of the Kazakhstan tectonic...

Porphyry Deposits of Northern Eurasia: Practical Aspects of Tectonic Control, Structural Features and Estimates of Depth of Erosion from the Urals to the Pacific
AbstractHigher gold grades (0.1–1 g/t) in porphyry systems of northern Eurasia make them competitive with the Andean porphyries despite usually...

Extensional magmatism caused by strain partitioning: insights from the mafic dikes hosted in Biesituobie batholith in West Junggar, CAOB
The connection between magmatism and the tectonic environment is essential yet highly debatable. The West Junggar, CAOB, outcropped a swarm of...

Timing of the final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean: Evidence from sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Linxi Formation in southeastern Inner Mongolia, China
The Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO) had multiple collage systems and closed along multiple sutures. The final timing of the closure of the PAO was closely...

Spatial and Temporal Distribution Patterns of Mafic Dyke Swarms in Central Asia: Results from Remote-Sensing Interpretation and Regional Geology
Mafic dykes in continents are a special type of intrusive rock formed by different tectonic events including earlier fracturing deformation in host...
