Early Permian bimodal magmatism and tectonic evolution of the easternmost Paleo-Asian orogenic system
Late Paleozoic tectonic evolution of northeastern China is complicated by the interaction of the Central Asian Orogenic belt development and the...
-
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...

Structural control on the Baiyinha'er gold mineralization (Southern Central Asian Orogenic belt) related to Early Paleozoic Paleo-Asian Oceanic subduction
As the largest Phanerozoic accretionary orogenic belt in the world, the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) experienced multiple episodes of tectonic...
-
Recycling of Paleo-Asian Ocean carbonates and its influence on the lithospheric composition of the North China Craton
The deep carbon cycle, which plays a critical role in mantle evolution and Earth habitability, is closely linked to the recycling of...

Mazongshan ophiolite in the Beishan Orogen, NW China: relicts of the major branch of Paleo-Asian oceanic crust
As a portion of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), the Beishan Orogen is key to the evolution of the Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO). The Mazongshan...

A novel model of the carbon cycle in the Cambrian ocean
The classic model of the carbon cycle suggests that the extensive burial of 12 C-enriched organic carbon leads to a positive carbon isotope ( δ 13 C)...

Devonian integrative stratigraphy, biotas, and paleogeographical evolution of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding areas
The Devonian System in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding areas is widely distributed, diverse in lithotypes and rich in fossils. It...

Discovery of Neoproterozoic adakitic rocks in the Eastern Tianshan (NW China) of the southern Altaids
The Paleo-Asian Ocean, as the processor of the Altaids, was a long-lived ocean, and its subduction gave rise to substantial continental growth in the...

Timing and mechanism of opening the Neo-Tethys Ocean: Constraints from mélanges in the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone
The evolution and final closure of the Neo-Tethys Ocean are one of the most important geological events that have occurred on Earth since the...
-
Origin of the DUPAL anomaly in the Tethyan mantle domain and its geodynamic significance
Mantle heterogeneity has revealed systematic differences in Pb isotopic compositions between the Indian Ocean-South Atlantic mantle in the Southern...
-
Evolution and final closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean
Mongol-Okhotsk Orogenic Belt is the last main orogen that constructs modern tectonic framework of northeastern Asia. It has recorded the long-term...

The youngest matrix of 234 Ma of the Kanguer accretionary mélange containing blocks of N-MORB basalts: constraints on the northward subduction of the Paleo-Asian Kanguer Ocean in the Eastern Tianshan of the Southern Altaids
The Altaids accreted around, and grew southward, from the Siberian craton, but the time of final amalgamation of this orogen is still controversial....

Depositional Responses to the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean Closure in the Central Area of the Great **ng’an Range: Insights into Thrust Faults and Foreland Basins
The Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean, which has been closing gradually from the west to the east beginning since the Late Paleozoic, was an important part of the...

Antiphase change in Walker Circulation between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean during the Last Interglacial induced by interbasin sea surface temperature anomaly contrast
Understanding the variations of the Walker Circulations during the Last Interglacial (LIG, ~ 130–115 ka BP) may advance our knowledge of climate...

Lower Permian limestone associated with ocean floor rocks in the Inthanon Zone of northern Thailand: new evidence for mélange
Scattered outcrops of various lithologies such as limestone, chert, sandstone, mudstone or shale, and microgabbro have been recently exposed in the...

Crust and upper mantle electrical structure of the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt revealed by the MT line from Zhangwu County to East Ujimqin Banner
The Central Asian Orogenic Belt is bounded on the north by the Siberian Craton and on the south by the North China Craton and the Tarim Craton. It is...

Devonian–Carboniferous Pillow OIB-Type Basalts in the Youjiang Basin, SW China: Implications for the Eastern Extension of the Paleo-Tethys Branch Ocean
Late Paleozoic pillow basalts are well preserved in the Youjiang Basin of SW China. In this study, we conducted geochemical and Sr−Nd isotopic study...
-
Geochemistry, zircon U-Pb ages and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopes of an Early Triassic appinitic complex in southeastern Inner Mongolia, China: implications for the late tectonic evolution of the Paleo-Asian Ocean
Appinite commonly occurs in convergent plate tectonic settings and thus can constrain the tectonic evolution of ancient orogens. Geochemical and...

Magnetotelluric data reveals subduction polarity and reactivation of the Mudanjiang suture zone, Northeast China
The Jiamusi and Songnen blocks converged in the easternmost segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt as a result of the subduction and subsequent...

Provenance and tectonic setting of the Yimianpo Group in the southeastern Songnen–Zhangguangcai Range Block: constraints on the closure of the Mudanjiang Ocean
The timing of the collision between the Songnen–Zhangguangcai Range Block (SNZRB) and the Jiamusi Block (JMSB) is poorly constrained; however,...
