Eocene thickening without extra heat in a collisional orogenic belt: A record from Eocene metamorphism in mafic dike swarms within the Tethyan Himalaya, southern Tibet

GSA Bulletin, 2021
Abstract Knowledge of the nature of the earliest metamorphism experienced by collisional orogenic belts is essential for reconstruction of tectonic processes that build high mountain chains and their environmental consequences. Understanding the metamorphic nature of Eohimalayan-phase orogeny of the Himalayan orogen, one of the typical ...

Structural anatomy of the early Paleozoic Laohushan ophiolite and subduction complex: Implications for accretionary tectonics of the Proto-Tethyan North Qilian orogenic belt, northeastern Tibet

GSA Bulletin, 2020
Abstract Recognition of accretionary tectonics in ancient orogenic collages is important for reconstructing the long-term subduction, accretion, and erosional history of fossil convergent margins, and for understanding crustal growth and supercontinent assembly.

Petrogenesis of mantle peridotites in Neo‐Tethyan ophiolites from the Eastern Himalaya and Indo‐Myanmar Orogenic Belt in the geo‐tectonic framework of Southeast Asia

Geological Journal, 2022
The Neo‐Tethyan ophiolites of the Tuting‐Tidding Suture Zone (TTSZ), Eastern Himalaya (viz., Tidding Ophiolite Complex and Mayodia Ophiolite Complex) and Indo‐Myanmar Orogenic Belt (IMOB, i.e., Nagaland Ophiolite Complex and Manipur Ophiolite Complex) which lie along the southern extension of the Indus‐Tsangpo Suture Zone have been

Eocene break-off of the Neo-Tethyan slab as inferred from intraplate-type mafic dykes in the Gaoligong orogenic belt, eastern Tibet

Chemical Geology, 2008
article i nfo Eocene (40-42 Ma) basaltic dykes in the Gaoligong-Tengliang belt, eastern Tibet, are characterized by high Na2 O( 2-4%), in contrast with the widespread post-collisional potassic and ultrapotassic rocks in the Tibetan plateau. Despite the ubiquitous negative Nb anomalies, these dykes have relatively high Nb and Zr contents, making them ...

Tianshan, Junggar and Altay Orogens (NW China), the Alpine-Himalayan Fold Belts (Tethyan Orogens), Kunlun and Songpan-Ganzi Terranes

2012
The Tianshan, Junggar and Altay orogenic belts in northwest China (Xinjiang) are part of the huge Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), which extends from the Uralides in the west to the Pacific Ocean margin of eastern Asia. The CAOB is a complex collage of fragments of ancient microcontinents and subduction-related island arc terranes, fragments of ...

Tectonics and Metallogeny of the Tethyan Orogenic Belt

2016
Abstract The Tethyan orogenic belt stretches from the Alps, through the Carpathians and Balkans, Taurides and Caucasus, Zagros, Makran, and Himalayas, to Indochina and into the southwest Pacific Ocean. It represents a complete Wilson Cycle, from opening and closure of the Paleotethys Ocean in the mid-Paleozoic to the Late Triassic ...

Late Ordovician arc-continent collision in the northernmost Tethyan-Ocean: Insights from detrital chromite and garnet geochemistry of the Koumenzi Formation in the Qilian Orogenic Belt

Global and Planetary Change
The Qilian Orogen in the northeastern margin of Qinghai-Tibetan plateau records the tectonic history of the Proto-Tethyan Ocean from its initial subduction to final closure. However, the timing of subduction initiation, subduction polarity, and arc-continent collision processes remain controversial.

Early Ordovician island‐arc‐type Manite granodiorite pluton from the Buqingshan Tectonic Mélange Belt in the southern margin of the East Kunlun Orogen: constraints on subduction of the Proto‐Tethyan Ocean

Geological Journal, 2016
AbstractThe Buqingshan Tectonic Mélange Belt in the south margin of the East Kunlun Orogen, located in west section of Buqingshan–A'nyemaqen Suture Zone, is one of the key areas to understand continental tectonics and continental dynamics of China. This paper reports zircon U–Pb dating results and geochemistry of the Manite granodiorite (rock mass) in ...
