EARLY NEOPROTEROZOIC CRUST FORMATON IN THE DZABKHAN MICROCONTINENT, CENTRAL ASIAN OROGENIC BELT
The Dzabkhan microcontinent was defined by [Mossakovsky et al., 1994] as a cratonic terrane with an early Precambrian basement that combines highgrade metamorphic complexes of the Songino, Dzabkhan, Otgon, Baidarik, Ider and Jargalant Blocks.

Rift jump and microcontinent formation in back-arc settings [PDF]
<p><span>Back-arc basins often present multiple spreading centres that form one after the other (e.g. Mariana subduction zone), propagate and rotate (e.g., Lau Basin) following trench retreat. In some cases, rift jumps can create continental fragments or microcontinents (e.g., Coral Sea, Central Mediterranean, Scotia Sea ...
