Reconstructing the Lancang Terrane (SW Yunnan) and implications for early Paleozoic Proto-Tethys evolution at the northern margin of Gondwana

Gondwana Research, 2021
The Lancang Group in SW Yunnan constitutes a pivotal component of the continental margin bounding the Proto- and Paleo-Tethys oceans, yet its formation timing, composition and tectonic affinity remain ill-defined.

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.

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.

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.

Mediterranean and Tethys

1977
The boundary between the Eurasian and the African plates, formerly the suture between Eurasia and Gondwana, has been the locus of violent tectonic diastrophism and rapidly changing geography since the Triassic. The Mesozoic seas, and sometimes the Paleozoic seas, of this zone and its extension into the Himalayan region are known as the Tethys (Neumayr,

The geology of Tethys

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1983
The surface of the Saturnian satellite Tethys has been recognized to consist of four major landforms or physiographic provinces: hilly cratered terrain, the Odysseus impact structure, rifts and lineaments (including Ithaca Chasma), and plains terrain. Two alternate scenarios for the geological evolution of the satellite are developed.

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.

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.
