Field geology and provenance analyses of the Ganqimaodu accretionary complex (Inner Mongolia, China): implications for early Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt

Hao Zeng et al.

Summary: The Ganqimaodu area in Inner Mongolia provides important insights into the early Paleozoic accretionary architecture of the Alxa and Bainaimiao regions. The field and detrital zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopic data suggest that the Ondor sum and Hadahushu groups are accretionary complexes formed due to northward subduction of the South Bainaimiao Ocean. The maximum depositional ages of these groups are constrained to the Early Devonian.

Paleoproterozoic-Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the Longshou Shan, western North China craton

Chen Wu et al.

Summary: The Longshou Shan in western China is a crucial linkage between the Tarim continent and the North China craton, acting as the northern backstop of the Cenozoic Himalayan-Tibetan orogen. Understanding the Paleoproterozoic-Paleozoic evolution of this region is essential for comprehending the overprinting Cenozoic deformation, construction of the Eurasian continent, and the relationship between the pre-Cenozoic Tethyan orogenic system and Central Asian orogenic system.

Provenance and paleogeography of Carboniferous-Permian strata in the Bayanhot Basin: Constraints from sedimentary records and detrital zircon geochronology

Junfeng Zhao et al.

Summary: The Bayanhot Basin in the eastern Alxa Block underwent a long-term depositional evolution process from transgression to retrogression during the Carboniferous-late Permian. The northwest North China Craton served as a paleo-uplift area and a sediment provenance area for the Alxa Block. The North China Craton, Bayanwula Mountain, and North Qilian Orogenic Belt acted as major provenances during the Carboniferous-Permian.

Petrogenesis of the Early Paleozoic S-type granites in southern Alxa, Northwest China and its implications on fluid flourishing in the middle and lower crust

Xiao-Chun Zhou et al.

Summary: The study of three Early Paleozoic S-type granites at Yabulai Mountain reveals different geochemical features, indicating variations in their formation processes and sources. Some granites were formed due to fluid-present partial melting, while others originated from fluid-absent partial melting.

The Carboniferous-Permian tectonic setting for the southernmost Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Constraint from magmatic and sedimentary records in the Alxa area, NW China

Yan Chen et al.

Summary: This study sheds light on the peak period of Permian magmatic activities in the northern Alxa orogenic belt, with evidence showing that the magmas were mainly derived from the crustal reworking of the Alxa Block with the addition of juvenile materials.

Multiple Tethyan ocean basins and orogenic belts in Asia

Ian Metcalfe

Summary: The evolution of Tethyan ocean basins in Asia spans over 500 million years, involving opening and closure of oceans, collision of continental blocks, and formation of major orogenic belts. This complex geological history has shaped Asia's landscape and mineral resource distribution significantly.

Mesoproterozoic (∼1.4 Ga) magmatism in the Liaoyuan Accretionary Belt, NE China: New implications for tectonic affinity and crustal evolution of microcontinents along the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt

Changhai Li et al.

Summary: The discovery of Mesoproterozoic granitic rocks in the Liaoyuan Accretionary Belt in northeast China provides insights into the Precambrian evolution of the area. These rocks exhibit typical characteristics of A-type granites and are likely derived from partial melting of juvenile crust with addition of mantle-derived materials.

Chen Wu et al.

Summary: The study discusses the Proterozoic-Phanerozoic evolution of the Tarim and North China cratons, emphasizing their importance in the construction of the Eurasian continent and the value of geological observations from the Qilian Shan and Longshou Shan in understanding the paleotectonic relationships of these continents.

Central China Orogenic Belt and amalgamation of East Asian continents

Yunpeng Dong et al.

Summary: The Central China Orogenic Belt (CCOB) consists of multiple important orogens that record the continental collision history of the North China, South China, Qaidam, Tarim and Qiangtang Blocks. From around 550 million years ago, the breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent led to the formation of the Proto-Tethys Ocean, and subsequent processes such as spreading and subduction shaped the evolution of the CCOB. The CCOB has undergone a complex tectonic evolution from the early Proto-Tethys to the later Paleo-Tethys domains, leading to the formation and closure of various oceans and back-arc basins.
