Convergent continental margins are the major sites for the formation, differentiation,
preservation, and destruction of continental crust. This article focuses on the Mesozoic …

The Qianjiadian deposit is the first late Mesozoic–Cenozoic sandstone-type uranium deposit
discovered in the Songliao Basin, northeast China. It remains uncertain whether high …

Introduction: The East Iran orogen has experienced multiple buckling phases resulting in the
formation of strike-slip fault splays. The geometric and kinematic characteristics of these …

The Danxia geoheritage has emerged as a compelling subject of study, while the Tethys-
Himalayan tectonic domain continues to captivate scholarly attention. However, a …

Abstract The Tan-Lu fault zone (TLF) is a major strike-slip fault with a long and complex
history in East Asia, whose evolution provides a new perspective on the formation of large …

Abstract The Early Mesozoic tectonic transition from the Palaeo-Tethys to Palaeo-Pacific
tectonic regimes in the South China Block has long been a matter of debate. Zircon U–Pb …

Abstract The Middle Jurassic intracontinental shortening event in East Asia, known as
episode A of the Yanshanian Movement in the eastern North China Craton and the first …

Tracing coupled ocean closure and intra-continental orogenic processes using
tectonomagmatic thermal events is important for performing plate reconstructions. In this …

Unlike oceanic hotspot tracks, continental hotspot tracks are difficult to recognise, although
they can provide unique insights into crustal deformation and intraplate magmatism. Here …

Through the examination of calcite twins, this research outlines the tectonic development
and paleo stress patterns of the Paleozoic Routshon complex situated in the southeastern …
