Eocene magmatism in the Himalaya: Response to lithospheric flexure during early Indian collision?

Lin Ma et al.

Summary: Eocene mafic magmatism in the Himalaya is important for understanding crustal anatexis processes within collisional orogens. Geochemical data from mafic dikes intruding the Tethyan Himalaya indicate interaction between lithospheric and asthenospheric melts. These magmas were emplaced along lithospheric fractures during initial subduction, resulting in orogen-parallel crustal anatexis.

Continuous Be mineralization from two-mica granite to pegmatite: Critical element enrichment processes in a Himalayan leucogranite pluton

Chen Liu et al.

Summary: Continuous beryl mineralization was discovered in the leucogranite pluton of the Himalayas, with significantly higher beryllium concentrations compared to typical granites worldwide. The gneisses of the Greater Himalayan System also contain higher beryllium abundance. This study suggests that the enrichment of critical elements is not only influenced by fractional crystallization, but also by the saturation phase, such as beryl, which buffers the concentration of critical elements in the melt.

Constraints on the timing of the India-Asia collision and unroofing history of the Himalayan orogen using detrital zircon U-Pb-Hf and whole-rock Sr-Nd isotopes in Cretaceous-Miocene Lesser Himalayan sedimentary rocks

Wei Feng et al.

Summary: Cretaceous-Miocene sedimentary rocks in the Nepalese Lesser Himalaya were analyzed to understand the timing of India-Asia collision and the growth processes of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen. The data showed changes in detrital zircon ages and whole-rock Sr-Nd isotopes, indicating two significant events. The first event occurred from the Upper Cretaceous-Palaeocene to the Eocene, where the proportion of certain zircons increased while the percentage of Mesozoic zircons decreased. The second event occurred from the Eocene to the lower-middle Miocene, with significant changes in the zircon index and whole-rock isotopes. The findings challenge dual-stage collision models.

Geochemistry and geochronology of the Miocene adakite-like potassic dikes in Tethyan Himalaya: New insights into Indian lithosphere slab tearing and breakoff

Borong Liu et al.

Summary: This study presents geochemical data, zircon U-Pb ages, and Hf isotopic compositions of adakitic and potassic rocks in the Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau. The results suggest that these rocks were derived from partial melting of the lower continental crust, triggered and hybridized by enriched mantle-derived shoshonitic melts. The spatiotemporal distribution of these rocks can potentially be explained by lateral detachment, longitudinal tearing, slab rollback, and hinge advance processes.

The Not-So-Boring Billion: A metallogenic conundrum during the evolution from Columbia to Rodinia supercontinents

M. Santosh et al.

Summary: During the Boring Billion phase, from 1800 to 800 million years ago, the Earth experienced a relatively static period with limited tectonic activity and continental drift. This led to the formation of a unique and richly endowed metallogeny. The metallogeny was episodic with peaks at around 1.7-1.6, 1.4, and 1.1 billion years ago, resulting in the formation of various giant mineral deposits.

Chao Wang et al.

Summary: This study reports the tectonic setting of the Tethyan Himalaya in southern Tibet during the Triassic period and its relationship with the opening of the Neo-Tethys Ocean and the breakup of Gondwana. The researchers analyzed volcanic rocks in the region and found that they were formed in a passive continental margin setting. The findings support the hypothesis that the Neo-Tethys Ocean opened in a passive pattern and that the breakup of Gondwana was initiated by lithospheric thinning.

Diverse Anatexis in the Main Central Thrust Zone, Eastern Nepal: Implications for Melt Evolution and Exhumation Process of the Himalaya

Shuaiqi Liu et al.

Summary: The Main Central Thrust zone (MCTZ), located between the Greater and Lesser Himalayan sequences, has experienced multiple episodes of partial melting. The study examines the nature of this melting process and its response to Himalayan orogenic processes using a variety of geochemical techniques. The findings suggest that hydrous metasediments from the Lesser Himalayan sequence were accreted to the base of the Greater Himalayan sequence, resulting in hydration melting of both sequences. The timing of activity of the MCT is constrained to 25-13 Ma, and the formation of a large-scale melt channel during the Oligocene to middle Miocene is proposed.

Tectonic evolution and geodynamics of the Neo-Tethys Ocean

Rixiang Zhu et al.

Summary: The Neo-Tethys Ocean was an eastward triangular oceanic embayment between Laurasia and Gondwana, initiated in the Early Permian from microblocks rifted from Gondwana and expanded as they drifted northwards. Collisions with Eurasia continent led to its closure in the Late Triassic, forming the Alps-Zagros-Himalaya orogenic belt. Tectonic evolution varied from west to east, with subduction, collisions, and convection playing key roles in the drifting and closure of the ocean.

Summary: New U-Pb calcite geochronological analysis of shear veins in Mount Everest reveal upper crustal deformation that occurred during the Himalayan orogenesis, dating back 45.0 +/- 5.4 million years. The deformation predates movement along the Qomolangma detachment and coincides with metamorphism in nearby gneisses and eclogites. This finding provides further evidence of large-scale plate tectonic changes during the Eocene.

The impact of a tear in the subducted Indian plate on the Miocene geology of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen

Rui Wang et al.

Summary: The Yadong-Gulu Rift is a rift associated with thermal anomalies and crustal melting. It is characterized by a band of high heat flow and highSr/Y granitic magmatism in the Gangdese belt. In the Tethyan and Higher Himalayas, this rift is associated with some of the youngest Miocene Himalayan leucogranites and mantle-derived mafic enclaves and lamprophyre dikes. The prominent tear in the Indian lithosphere, parallel to the rift, is considered to be the source of these tectono-thermal anomalies.

Along-Strike Variation in the Initiation Timing of the North-Trending Rifts in Southern Tibet as Revealed From the Yadong-Gulu Rift

Shuang Bian et al.

Summary: A key issue in the Cenozoic evolution of the Tibetan plateau is the geodynamic drivers for north-trending rifting in southern Tibet. This study investigates the Yadong-Gulu rift (YGR) to understand the initiation and acceleration of rifts along strike. The findings suggest that the rifts west of the YGR initiated simultaneously and show a northward younging pattern in rift acceleration, which may be governed by low-angle Indian slab underthrusting released by slab tearing.

Prolonged Slip on the South Tibetan Detachment Constrains Tectonic Models for Synorogenic Extension in the Central Himalaya

Alexandra E. Pye et al.

Summary: The South Tibetan detachment system, particularly the Annapurna detachment in central Nepal, is an important feature in the Himalayan orogen. This new study reveals that the Annapurna detachment has been active, at least episodically, from at least 22.76 +/- 0.30 to 14.95 +/- 0.78 million years ago. This challenges previous assumptions about the timing of slip on the South Tibetan detachment system and raises questions about the geodynamic transition in the central Himalaya.

Summary: The Trans-Himadri Detachment Fault (T-HDF) in the Kumaon region of the western Himalayas was previously thought to be a part of the South Tibetan Detachment System (STDS), but it is actually a discrete brittle/semi-brittle fault. The STDS in other parts of the Himalayas is a diffuse, ductile low-angle shear zone. Our study found that the STDS in this region is a low-angle, northerly dipping, ductile, diffuse shear zone, with a thickness of over 5 km.

Jun Deng et al.

Summary: This paper reviews the distribution, features, and context of Cenozoic ore deposits in Tibet formed during the India-Eurasia continental collision, aiming to gain insight into their genesis and control by mantle lithosphere. The diverse types of ore deposits were mainly formed through the release of metal and fluid components introduced during earlier oceanic subduction and anomalous lithosphere-scale deformation. The metallogenic history of collisional orogens differs from that of accretionary orogens.
