Intracontinental deformation is an inseparable element of the evolutionary history of
orogenic belts. It can reactivate and intensely modify the structures of previous orogenic …

Abstract The Chinese Eastern Tianshan is an important metallogenic region where major Cu-
Ni ores are mined. Previous research in the region primarily focused on the ore genesis …

Abstract The Eastern Tianshan and East Junggar orogenic belts are major constituents of
the southwestern Central Asian Orogenic Belt. This study applies low-temperature …

The Beishan orogen is part of the Neo-proterozoic to early Mesozoic Central Asian Orogenic
System in central Asia that exposes ophiolitic complexes, passive-margin strata, arc …

Paleozoic porphyry copper deposits are generally much less common than their Mesozoic
or Cenozoic counterparts, as they can be completely eroded in rapidly uplifting arcs. There …

Over the past decades, abundant and well-preserved vertebrate fossils, known as the Urho
Pterosaur Fauna, have been recovered from the Lower Cretaceous Tugulu Group in …

Cenozoic exhumation in the Tianshan is controlled by a complex interaction between
tectonics and climate. However, the timing and magnitude of exhumation of the Tianshan …

Abstract The late Mesozoic Beishan fold‐thrust belt occupies a key position in central Asia,
figuring importantly in our understanding of intracontinental deformation in response to far …

Understanding the pre-collisional paleogeography in the NE Tibetan plateau provides
insights into the growth mechanisms of the northern portion of the plateau in the Cenozoic …

The easternmost Tianshan forms the eastern extremity of the modern Central Asian
Orogenic Belt and represents a key locality to investigate strain propagation from the Meso …
