TL;DR: Using zircon in situ U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope and bulk-rock geochemical data of Mesozoic-Early Tertiary magmatic rocks sampled along four north-south traverses across the Lhasa Terrane, Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the Lhao Terrane has ancient basement rocks of Proterozoic and Archean ages (up to 2870 Ma) in its centre with younger and juvenile crust (Phanerozoic) accreted towards its both northern and southern edges.

TL;DR: This paper reviewed and reevaluated these hypotheses in light of new data from Tibet including the distribution of major tectonic boundaries and suture zones, basement rocks and their sedimentary covers, magmatic suites, and detrital zircon constraints from Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks.

TL;DR: Using zircon in situ U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopic and bulk-rock geochemical data of Mesozoic-Early Tertiary magmatic rocks sampled along four north-south traverses across the Lhasa Terrane, Wang et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the Lhaasa terrane has ancient basement rocks of Proterozoic and Archean ages (up to 2870 Ma) in its centre with younger and juvenile crust (Phanerozoic) accreted towards its both northern and southern edges.

TL;DR: In this paper, detrital zircons from the Lhasa terrane (Tibet) were found to have a distinctive age population of ca. 1170 Ma with a similar Hf (t) range to those from the western Qiangtang and Tethyan Himalaya terranes.

TL;DR: In this article, the Bangong Ocean may have closed during the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous (most likely ca. 140-130 ǫ) through arc-arc "soft" collision rather than continent-continent "hard" collision.
