Journal ArticleDOI
Paleomagnetic implications on the evolution of the tethys belt from the atlantic ocean to the pamirs since the triassic
TL;DR: In this paper, the apparent polar wander curves for stable Eurasia and Africa since the Triassic were re-examined and combined with curves of North and South America according to the kinematics of the Atlantic ocean and a synthetic polar wander curve was given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Position of the Lhasa block, South Tibet, during the late Cretaceous
TL;DR: In this paper, the first results were obtained for middle Cretaceous to Palaeocene red beds from the Lhasa block, north of the Yarlung-Zang Bo suture zone, recognized as the main suture between the Indian and the Eurasian plates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palaeomagnetic data about southern Tibet (Xizang) — I. The Cretaceous formations of the Lhasa block
TL;DR: In this paper, a palaeomagnetic study of Middle to late Cretaceous redbeds from Linzhou basin (Lhasa block), north of the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone, gives a stable magnetization direction of magnetization with a positive fold-test.
