Integrated detrital rutile and zircon provenance reveals multiple sources for Cambrian sandstones in North Gondwana
Early Paleozoic sandstones deposited along the northern margin of Gondwana are
commonly interpreted to represent a vast, well-mixed, and far-travelled blanket of sand …

Detrital zircon age constraints on the evolution of Paleo‐Tethys in NE Iran: Implications for subduction and collision tectonics
The timings of the onset of oceanic spreading, subduction and collision are crucial in plate
reconstructions, but not always straightforward to resolve. The Paleo‐Tethys evolution …
