TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used 13,441 new or existing U-Pb ages of zircon crystals from strata in the Lesser Himalayan, Greater Himalayan and Tethyan sequences in the Himalaya, the Lhasa, Qiangtang, and Nan Shan-Qilian Shan-Altun Shan terranes in Tibet, and platformal strata of the Tarim craton to constrain changes in provenance through time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Greater India Basin hypothesis and a two-stage Cenozoic collision between India and Asia
Douwe J.J. van Hinsbergen,Peter C. Lippert,Guillaume Dupont-Nivet,Nadine McQuarrie,Pavel V. Doubrovine,Wim Spakman,Trond H. Torsvik +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the approximately 50 Ma “India”–Asia collision was a collision of a Tibetan-Himalayan microcontinent with Asia, followed by subduction of the largely oceanic Greater India Basin along a subduction zone at the location of the Greater Himalaya.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cenozoic evolution of Neotethys and implications for the causes of plate motions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the Cenozoic history of the Neotethyan ocean between Arabia and Eurasia and found that the convergence rate of the Arabia-Eurasia convergence has been fairly constant at 2 to 3 cm/yr since 56 Ma with a slowing of Africa-Eurusia motion to < 1 cm/r near 25 Ma, coeval with the opening of the Red Sea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crustal scale geometry of the Zagros fold–thrust belt, Iran
TL;DR: Balanced cross-sections across the Zagros fold-thrust belt in Iran are used to analyze the geometry of deformation within the sedimentary cover rocks, and to test the hypothesis of basement involved thrusting throughout the fold -thrust region as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retrodeforming the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone: Age of collision versus magnitude of continental subduction
TL;DR: This paper assess the consequences of these collision ages on the magnitude and location of continental consumption by compiling all documented shortening within the region, and integrating this with plate kinematic reconstructions.
