Paleomagnetism of Late Triassic Volcanic Rocks From the South Qiangtang Block, Tibet: Constraints on Longmuco‐Shuanghu Ocean Closure in the Paleo‐Tethys Realm

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The South Qiangtang block of the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau represents an area critical to understanding the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic history of the Tethyan realm, but its drift history remains poorly constrained.

Provenance history of a Late Triassic-Jurassic Gondwana margin forearc basin, Murihiku Terrane, North Island, New Zealand: petrographic and geochemical constraints [PDF]

, 2004
The Murihiku Terrane in the North Island was a forearc basin adjacent to a volcanic arc along the eastern margin of Gondwana during the Mesozoic. The rocks that infill the basin are mainly volcaniclastic sandstones and mudstones, often turbiditic, with ...

Evidence for Late Triassic crustal suturing of the Central and Southern Pamir

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2020
The timing of closure of the Paleotethys and Rushan ocean basins and suturing of Gondwanan crustal fragments in the Pamir is not well resolved. Whereas the Central Pamir terrane is generally interpreted to have collided with the Northern Pamir terrane at

New insights on the early Mesozoic evolution of multiple tectonic regimes in the northeastern North China Craton from the detrital zircon provenance of sedimentary strata [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2018
To investigate the timing of deposition and provenance of early Mesozoic strata in the northeastern North China Craton (NCC) and to understand the early Mesozoic paleotectonic evolution of the region, we combine stratigraphy, U–Pb zircon geochronology,
