The Shiquanhe–Laguoco–Yongzhu–Jiali ophiolite mélange belt in Tibet includes the Laguoco Tso as part of its western segment. Researchers studying evolution Tibetan Plateau and Tethys have taken a keen interest debated relationship between this Bangong–Nujiang belt. However, there is little research field. This study reports rock geochemistry, SIMS (the secondary ion mass spectrometry) zircon U-...

Neogene syn-and post-orogenic sedimentary rocks in Sulawesi are important to understand the history of collision Australian continental crust with SE Asia. However, they have received relatively little attention, and generally been considered be molasse-type deposits similar characteristics across Sulawesi—the Celebes Molasse. New field sedimentological observations, results from heavy mineral ...

As relics of oceanic lithosphere, ophiolites exposed in the East Kunlun region are crucial for deciphering evolution from Proto-Tethys to Paleo-Tethys. Two ophiolite belts have been recognized Orogenic Belt: northern Heishan-Dagele-Qingshuiquan Ophiolite Belt and southern Muzitag-A’nyemaqen Belt. Most basaltic rocks belt show apparent geochemical features enriched mid-ocean ridge basalts, with ...
