The accretionary complexes of Central and East Asia (Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan, Mongolia, and China) and the Western Pacific (China, Japan, Russia) preserve …

Plume-related oceanic magmatism form oceanic islands, seamounts and plateaus (hereafter
“seamounts” or “paleoseamounts”), which are important features in geological history. The …

We present a new approach for recognizing the origin of accreted basaltic rocks based on
ocean plate stratigraphy (OPS), and on the petrology and geochemistry of basalts from mid …

This paper reviews localities of intraplate basalts of the Paleo-Asian and Paleo-Pacific
Oceans, which occur as fragments of former oceanic islands, seamounts and plateaus in …

Abstract The Carnian Pluvial Episode (CPE) was a global environmental change and biotic
crisis that occurred during the Carnian (Late Triassic). The climate during the CPE was …

The paper presents the results of a detailed geochemical study (major and trace elements,
Sr, Nd and Pb isotopes) of early Carboniferous to Miocene volcanic rocks of the Akiyoshi …

Abstract The Middle and Late Triassic was a time of important reef development. This
evolution, which is primarily documented in the Tethys realm, comprised several phases …

Detailed sampling of the Upper Triassic atoll-type carbonates of the Sambosan Accretionary
Complex throughout Southwest Japan yielded highly abundant and diversified …

Norian–Rhaetian reef-limestone outcrops belonging to the Sambosan Accretionary
Complex located near and within Inaba Cave, western Shikoku Island (Japan), are …

During the middle Miocene, forearc alkaline magmatism occurred in the Outer Zone of
Southwest Japan and the northern Ryukyu Arc, resulting in the formation of forearc alkaline …
