Closure of the Proto-Tethys Ocean and Early Paleozoic amalgamation of microcontinental blocks in East Asia

Earth-Science Reviews, 2017
As a complex paleo-ocean located between the Tarim-North China and the Sibumasu/Baoshan blocks, the Proto-Tethys Ocean was opened from the rifting of the Supercontinent Rodinia and mainly closed at the end of the Early Paleozoic.

Infant intra-oceanic arc magmatism due to initial subduction induced by oceanic plateau accretion: A case study of the Bangong Meso-Tethys, central Tibet, western China

, 2020
The Meso-Tethyan oceanic plateaus are becoming conspicuous as giant units on the oceanic floor and have played important roles in both continental marginal orogenesis and Tethys oceanic evolution. In this study, we present mineralogical, geochronological,

Provenance, tectonic setting and source area-paleoweathering of sandstones of the Bahariya Formation in the Bahariya Oasis, Egypt: An implication to paleoclimate and paleogeography of the southern Neo-Tethys region during Early Cenomanian

Sedimentary Geology, 2020
The Lower Cenomanian Bahariya Formation forms the most prolific hydrocarbon reservoir in the Western Desert of Egypt, and represents a good example to illustrate the paleogeographical evolution of the southern Neo-Tethys region during the Early ...

Petrogenesis of Early Cambrian granitoids in the western Kunlun orogenic belt, Northwest Tibet: Insight into early stage subduction of the Proto-Tethys Ocean

, 2020
The west Kunlun orogenic belt, located on the northwest margin of the Tibetan Plateau, represents a crucial tectonic junction between the central Asia and Tethys domains.

Paleomagnetism of Middle Triassic Lavas From Northern Qiangtang (Tibet): Constraints on the Closure of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020
We present results from a paleomagnetic study of Middle Triassic lavas (~242–240 Ma) from the northern Qiangtang block to improve our understanding of the timing and kinematics of the closure of the eastern Paleo‐Tethys Ocean.

Synchronized changes in shallow water carbonate production during the Carnian Pluvial Episode (Late Triassic) throughout Tethys

, 2020
Quantitative petrologic analysis on carbonates was carried out on stratigraphic sections encompassing the Carnian Pluvial Episode from northwestern Sichuan Basin, South China and eastern Southern Alps.

Syn-depositional continental rifting of the Southeastern Neo-Tethys margin during the Albian–Cenomanian: evidence from stratigraphic correlation

Soviet Economy, 2020
Albian–Cenomanian successions (Kazhdumi and Sarvak formations) represent remarkable variations in thickness, facies, fauna, and environments throughout the Zagros area.

Triassic Sedimentary Filling and Closure of the Eastern Paleo‐Tethys Ocean: New Insights From Detrital Zircon Geochronology of Songpan‐Ganzi, Yidun, and West Qinling Flysch in Eastern Tibet

Tectonics, 2019
Triassic flysch in the Songpan‐Ganzi Complex (SGC), eastern Tibet, is an important and rich record of tectonism associated with evolution and closure of the eastern Paleo‐Tethys Ocean.

The Cretaceous Tethys

1995
Cretaceous transgressions left marine deposits over wide areas of Tethys, from which it is possible to develop paleogeographic maps depicting the configuration and extent of marine and continental paleoenvironments, including oceanic seafloor and structural patterns.

Subduction re-initiation at dying ridge of Neo-Tethys: Insights from mafic and metamafic rocks in Lhaze ophiolitic mélange, Yarlung-Tsangbo Suture Zone

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2019
Ophiolitic melanges provide critical information on the history of subduction and metamorphism and, thus, on the evolution of ancient oceans. Blocks of mafic rocks, garnet-clinopyroxenites and amphibolites have recently been discovered in the Lhaze ...
