Abstract The Central China Orogenic Belt (CCOB) comprises, from the east to the west, the
Tongbai-Dabie, Qinling, Qilian and Kunlun Orogens, and preserves abundant and important …

Subduction and closure of the Proto-Tethys and Palaeo-Tethys oceans were important
events in the assembly of Eurasia, and created the Central China Orogenic Belt (CCOB) …

As the chronicle of plate motions through time, paleogeography is fundamental to our
understanding of plate tectonics and its role in sha** the geology of the present-day. To …

The rising demand of strategic metals, especially lithium, necessitates discovery of new
resources to meet the global supply chain. Recently, several pegmatite-hosted rare metal (Li …

Paleomagnetism has played an important role in quantifying the Mesozoic evolution of
“Proto-Tibet”. In this paper, we present new paleomagnetic data from five Middle-Upper …

Granitic pegmatites are considered significant host rocks for the rare metal deposits.
However, the enrichment mechanisms for the rare metal elements (eg, Li, Be, Nb and Ta) …

Abstract The West Kunlun orogenic belt (WKOB) along the northern margin of the Tibetan
Plateau is important for understanding the evolution of the Proto-and Paleo-Tethys oceans …

There is a strong genetic relationship between the petrogenesis of I-type granitoids and the
evolution of continental crust in orogenic belts. This study of I-type granitoids in the East …

Abstract The Central and Southern Pamir terranes represent Gondwanan crustal fragments
within the Pamir plateau, and are bounded by the Tanymas, Rushan–Pshart, and Wakhan …

To better constrain the Late Triassic paleolatitude of the Qiangtang block and the closure of
the Paleo-Tethys Ocean, a combined paleomagnetic and zircon U/Pb geochronological …
