Four Tethyan ocean basins are recognised in Asia, the Proto-Tethys (Late Proterozoic-
Silurian), Palaeo-Tethys (Middle Devonian-Late Triassic), Meso-Tethys (Middle Permian …

The vast eastern-Tethyan oceanic domain that throughout the Mesozoic extended between
Gondwana and Eurasia was a puzzle of larger and smaller microcontinents separated by …

The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India--Asia collision, but its
geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous …

Integration of lithostratigraphic, magmatic, and metamorphic data from the Lhasa–Qiangtang
collision zone in central Tibet (including the Bangong suture zone and adjacent regions of …

Present-day Asia comprises a heterogeneous collage of continental blocks, derived from the
Indian–west Australian margin of eastern Gondwana, and subduction related volcanic arcs …

In this paper, a new discrimination diagram using absolute measures of Th and Nb is
applied to post-Archean ophiolites to best discriminate a large number of different ophiolitic …

Abstract The Bangong–Nujiang suture zone (BNSZ) is located in the central Tibetan
Plateau, and represents the relict of the Bangong–Nujiang Tethyan Ocean (BNTO). This …

The elevation of the Tibetan plateau is a revolutionary event in the Earth history, which
resulted in change not only of Cenozoic regional and global climate but also of monsoon …

The basic tectonic framework of continental East Asia was produced by a series of nearly
contemporaneous orogenic events in the late Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous …

Reconstructing the evolution of the Bangong-Nujiang Tethyan Ocean (BNTO) plays an
indispensable role in understanding the linkage between Gondwana dispersion and Tibetan …
