Four Tethyan ocean basins are recognised in Asia, the Proto-Tethys (Late Proterozoic-
Silurian), Palaeo-Tethys (Middle Devonian-Late Triassic), Meso-Tethys (Middle Permian …

Pangea is the youngest supercontinent in Earth's history and its main body formed by
assembly of Gondwana and Laurasia about 300–250 Ma ago. As supported by voluminous …

As a complex paleo-ocean located between the Tarim-North China and the
Sibumasu/Baoshan blocks, the Proto-Tethys Ocean was opened from the rifting of the …

Different hypotheses have been proposed for the origin and pre-Cenozoic evolution of the
Tibetan Plateau as a result of several collision events between a series of Gondwana …

The heterogeneous Sundaland region was assembled by closure of Tethyan oceans and
addition of continental fragments. Its Mesozoic and Cenozoic history is illustrated by a new …

We argue that the production of mantle-derived or juvenile continental crust during the
accretionary history of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) has been grossly …

Sundaland comprises a heterogeneous collage of continental blocks derived from the India–
Australian margin of eastern Gondwana and assembled by the closure of multiple Tethyan …

The U-Pb age and Hf isotope data on detrital zircons from Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks
in the Lhasa terrane (Tibet) define a distinctive age population of ca. 1170 Ma with εHf (t) …

SE Asia comprises a collage of Gondwana-derived continental blocks assembled by the
closure of multiple Tethyan and back-arc ocean basins now represented by suture zones …

Abstract The Southeast Asia region is endowed with a diversity of mineral resources, notably
porphyry-related skarn, epithermal and sediment-hosted/orogenic gold deposits. Formation …
