The Beishan orogenic collage is located in the southernmost part of the Altaids, and
connects the Southern Tien Shan suture to the west with the Solonker suture to the east. The …

Cretaceous rift basin evolution was an important part of the tectonic history of northeast Asia
in the late Mesozoic. Three types of rift basins are identified—active, passive and wide rift …

The Altaids is one of the largest accretionary orogenic collages in the world with the highest
rate of Phanerozoic continental growth and significant metallogenic importance. It is widely …

Late Mesozoic extension in NE Asia resulted in the development of a large extensional
province. Metamorphic core complexes (MCCs) are the major features in this province and …

We present a synthesis and a new account of the geological and tectonic history of the
terranes of the Chinese Paleozoic Altai orogen together with new, single zircon ages for …

Late Mesozoic large-scale crustal extension occurred across the northeastern section of
continental Asia, and metamorphic core complexes (MCCs) are the major features in this …

Abstract The Mongol–Okhotsk belt and adjacent areas are key areas to study the
relationship between the Okhotsk and Paleo-Pacific tectonic regimes and their superposition …

Abstract The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is one of the largest orogenic collages on
Earth, which records a long history of accretionary orogenesis from the late Proterozoic to …

Abstract The East Gobi basin of Mongolia is a poorly described Late Jurassic–Early
Cretaceous extensional province that holds great importance for reconstructions of …

Abstract The Early Cretaceous Hohhot metamorphic core complex and its master Hohhot
detachment fault are∼ 400 km west of Bei**g in the Daqing Shan (Mountains) of Inner …
