Abstract The East Kunlun Orogen (EKO) on the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau experienced complex Late Paleozoic–Early Mesozoic tectono‐magmatic activities associated with the subduction and closure of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean. Controversies remain regarding the timing and processes of the transition from subduction to collision and post‐collision,

Reworked restite enclave: Petrographic and mineralogical constraints from the Tongshanling intrusion, Nanling Range, South China [PDF]
International audienceMicrogranular enclaves, which can provide important petrogenetic indications for the host granitoids, are commonly observed in the Middle-Late Jurassic Cu-Pb-Zn-bearing granodiorites in the Nanling Range of South China.

Abstract Eocene magmatism in southern Tibet records deep geodynamic processes associated with the India‐Asia collision. The Quxu batholith, a representative segment of the Gangdese magmatic belt, hosts widespread mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs) indicating magma mixing.

Abstract The middle Cretaceous granitoid plutons of the Shalair Valley, situated in northeastern Iraq, constitute a principal magmatic component of the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone within the northwestern segment of the Zagros Orogenic Belt. Among these plutons, the equigranular Aulan body (AG) and the porphyritic Laladar body (LG) were crystallized at 111.0 ±

Abstract The closure of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean was one of the most important global geological events which formed the framework of the East Asian continent during the early Mesozoic. The Longmu Co‐Shuanghu suture zone is considered to record closure of the main basin of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean.

Thermal evolution of mafic granulites of Princess Elizabeth Land, East Antarctica
Outcrops of East Antarctic Shield exposed along the coast of Princess Elizabeth Land (PEL) provide a peek into its Neoproterozoic evolution. The terrain comprises of interleaved pelitic, felsic and mafic granulites.

Abstract The subduction of the Paleo‐Pacific Plate beneath the NE Asian continental margin induced extensive magmatism, providing an excellent opportunity to investigate the interplay between plate dynamics, arc magmatism, continental crust formation, and porphyry mineralization.

Abstract In the Afghan Hindu Kush, the 223–209 Ma (≤800°C) Salang batholith is part of the Silk‐Road magmatic arc that was built on ∼40‐km‐thick Turan‐Karakum block continental crust. The batholith constitutes the hanging wall of the Herat‐Panjshir‐Badakhshan—the Paleo‐Tethys—suture zone, vestige of the subducted Paleozoic‐early Mesozoic Paleo‐Tethys ...

Abstract The formation, storage, and evolution of granitic magmas are fundamental processes driving the growth of continental crust. While traditionally attributed to crystal fractionation in high‐melt fraction magma chambers, the model invoking low‐melt fraction crystal mushes has gained wide acceptance.
