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 …

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

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 …

The Late Paleogene surface height and paleoenvironment for the core area of the Qinghai-
Tibetan Plateau (QTP) remain critically unresolved. Here, we report the discovery of the …

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 Mesozoic stratigraphic record of the southern Qiangtang basin in central Tibet records
the evolution and closure of the Bangong‐Nujiang ocean to the south. The Jurassic …

The Gangdese belt is dominantly composed of igneous rocks that formed during the
northward subduction of Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere beneath the Lhasa terrane and …

The nature, extension, and evolution of the Meso-Tethys still remain unclear to researchers,
and this has thereby hindered in-depth study of the Tethys tectonic domain. In this paper, we …

Zircon rare earth element (REE) oxy-barometers have been widely used to calculate magma
oxygen fugacity. However, sometimes confusing results are obtained, such as extremely …

Reconstructing the Mesozoic paleotectonic and paleogeographic evolution of marine
Qiangtang basins is essential for understanding the evolution of diverse Tethyan oceanic …
