[HTML][HTML] Plate tectonic cross-roads: reconstructing the Panthalassa-Neotethys Junction Region from Philippine Sea plate and Australasian oceans and orogens
SHA van de Lagemaat, DJJ van Hinsbergen - Gondwana Research, 2024 - Elsevier
The plate tectonic history of the Junction Region, which separated the Panthalassa and
Tethys realms, is notoriously challenging to reconstruct. The region has been dominated by …

Subduction re-initiation at dying ridge of Neo-Tethys: Insights from mafic and metamafic rocks in Lhaze ophiolitic mélange, Yarlung-Tsangbo Suture Zone
Ophiolitic mélanges provide critical information on the history of subduction and
metamorphism and, thus, on the evolution of ancient oceans. Blocks of mafic rocks, garnet …

Formation of the Xigaze Metamorphic Sole under Tibetan continental lithosphere reveals generic characteristics of subduction initiation
Metamorphic soles found under allochthonous oceanic lithosphere, or ophiolites, are
interpreted as derived from lower plate oceanic crust material accreted to upper plate mantle …

Magmatism and extension in the Anaconda metamorphic core complex of western Montana and relation to regional tectonics
Metamorphic core complexes (MCCs) are a product of crustal extension, but their dynamics
are still debated. Early research suggests that the formation of MCCs in the western United …
