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 …

Ophiolites are rock assemblages recognized as relict fragments of oceanic crust and upper
mantle. They provide insights into petrologic and seismic layering of in situ oceanic …

Ophiolite complexes preserved along the Yarlung Tsangpo suture zone (YTSZ) and
obducted onto the northern continental margin of India in southern Tibet represent the …

Transtension is the oblique divergence between bounding plates or blocks that combines a
coaxial orthogonal extension with a deformation zone boundary-parallel, noncoaxial …

Integrated, multi-method provenance studies of siliciclastic sedimentary deposits are
increasingly used to reconstruct the history of source-to-sink transport, paleogeography, and …

Ophiolites show a wide range of internal structure, pseudostratigraphy and chemical
fingerprints suggesting various tectonic settings of their origin. In general, they are …

The composite Zhaheba ophiolite complex, exposed in Eastern Junggar in the Southern
Altaids, records an unusually long record of oceanic crust and magmatic arc evolution. The …

Differing interpretations of geophysical and geologic data have led to debate regarding
continent-scale plate configuration, subduction polarity, and timing of collisional events on …

The Klamath Mountains province of northwestern California and southwestern Oregon is a
classic example of a mountain belt that developed by the tectonic accretion of rock …

An unusual late Neoproterozoic (c. 572 Ma) ophiolite is exposed in the Dariv Range
(western Mongolia), which contains intermediate to acidic lavas and sheeted dykes, and an …
