New Permian Paleomagnetic and Geochronologic Results From the Alxa Block: Constraints on Its Tectonic Affinity and the Closure of Paleo‐Asian Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
Abstract The Paleo‐Asian Ocean's (PAO) closure timing and the Alxa Block's (ALB) tectonic affinity remain debated. We present new paleomagnetic and geochronologic data from Permian volcanic and sedimentary rocks in the ALB. Characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) directions from Early (∼282 Ma), Middle (∼268 Ma), and Late Permian (∼255 Ma) rocks ...

Mesozoic magmatism and crustal evolution in the Xing’an–Mongolia Orogenic Belt, NE China

Solid Earth Sciences
The Xing’an–Mongolia Orogenic Belt (XMOB), located in the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), is a critical area for understanding Phanerozoic crustal accretion and reworking.

Paleozoic subduction of the southern Dunhuang Orogenic Belt, northwest China: metamorphism and geochronology of the Shuixiakou area

Geodinamica Acta, 2018
Amphibolites in the Shuixiakou area of the southern Dunhuang Orogenic Belt, southernmost Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), occur as lenses within hornblende-biotite-plagioclase gneiss or pelitic schist, exhibiting block-in-matrix feature of tectonic ...

Triassic Intracontinental Crustal Reworking of the Eastern Tianshan: New Insights From Late Triassic Adakitic and Low‐Sr/Y Granitoids in the Bogda Range

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Continental intraplate magmatism remains a fundamental challenge in Plate Tectonics. Triassic magmatism represents a critical phase in the evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt and continues to provoke debate about its tectonic setting.

Meso-Cenozoic building of the northern Central Asian Orogenic Belt: thermotectonic history of the Tuva region

, 2014
The Tuvinian and West-Sayan mountain ranges form part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB); more specifically, they align along the Altai-Sayan-Hangay zone.

Reassessment of continental growth during the accretionary history of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt

, 2013
We argue that the production of mantle-derived or juvenile continental crust during the accretionary history of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) has been grossly overestimated.

Subduction‐Driven Reworking of Craton and Accretionary Orogen: Evidence From Integrated Geophysical Imaging in Western North China Craton

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Observations and interpreted mechanisms for the reworking of Precambrian cratons and accretionary orogens have significant relevance in understanding the history and evolution of continental lithosphere. Here we investigate the Precambrian basement and lithospheric architecture of the western North China craton (NCC) through the integration of

Oblique Arc–Arc Collision During the Earliest Permian in the Northern Beishan Orogenic Collage, NW China: Constraints From Transpressional Deformation and Geochronological Data

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Understanding the deformation history and mechanisms is important for inferring orogenic processes and dynamics. We present new structural and geochronological data from the Pengboshan area in the eastern part of the Heiyingshan–Hanshan Arc (HHA), northern Beishan Orogenic Collage (BOC), to constrain the Carboniferous–Permian deformation ...

Middle Paleozoic convergent orogenic belts in western Inner Mongolia (China): framework, kinematics, geochronology and implications for tectonic evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt

, 2013
International audienceBased mainly on field geological observation and geochronologic data, six tectonic units have been recognized in western Inner Mongolia (China), including, from south to north: North China Craton (NCC), Southern Orogenic Belt (SOB),
