TL;DR: A brief synthesis of the current state of knowledge on the formation and break-up of the early Neoproterozoic supercontinent Rodinia and the subsequent assembly of Gondwanaland is presented in this paper.
2,790 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of key paleomagnetic poles for 165, 155, 135, 120, and 75 Ma were determined for the Siberian platform and its southwestern margin, which define the Mesozoic apparent polar wander path (APWP).
239 citations
TL;DR: A review and integration of the recent geological and geochronological data, which allow us to recognize three stages of the evolution of the Paleo-Asian Ocean can be found in this paper.
176 citations
TL;DR: The analysis of Siberian basement geology, Meso-to Neoproterozoic sedimentary successions and magmatism together with recent palaeomagnetic and geochronological data suggest that Siberia could be a promontory of Rodinia as mentioned in this paper.
162 citations
TL;DR: The early Triassic syenite-granite plutons have metaluminous compositions, high potassium, high REE and high LIL concentrations, and 87 Sr/86 Sr and e Nd ratios intermediate between crust and mantle as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

TL;DR: The Central Asian Orogenic Belt ( c. 1000-250 Ma) formed by accretion of island arcs, ophiolites, oceanic islands, seamounts, accretionary wedges, and oceanic plateaux and microcontinents in a manner comparable with that of circum-Pacific Mesozoic-Cenozoic orogens is studied in this article.
Abstract: The Central Asian Orogenic Belt ( c . 1000–250 Ma) formed by accretion of island arcs, ophiolites, oceanic islands, seamounts, accretionary wedges, oceanic plateaux and microcontinents in a manner comparable with that of circum-Pacific Mesozoic–Cenozoic accretionary orogens. Palaeomagnetic and palaeofloral data indicate that early accretion (Vendian–Ordovician) took place when Baltica and Siberia were separated by a wide ocean. Island arcs and Precambrian microcontinents accreted to the active margins of the two continents or amalgamated in an oceanic setting (as in Kazakhstan) by roll-back and collision, forming a huge accretionary collage. The Palaeo-Asian Ocean closed in the Permian with formation of the Solonker suture. We evaluate contrasting tectonic models for the evolution of the orogenic belt. Current information provides little support for the main tenets of the one- or three-arc Kipchak model; current data suggest that an archipelago-type (Indonesian) model is more viable. Some diagnostic features of ridge–trench interaction are present in the Central Asian orogen (e.g. granites, adakites, boninites, near-trench magmatism, Alaskan-type mafic–ultramafic complexes, high-temperature metamorphic belts that prograde rapidly from low-grade belts, rhyolitic ash-fall tuffs). They offer a promising perspective for future investigations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model for the origin of the 2.55-2.50-Ga metamorphic pulse in the North China Craton (NCC), which is interpreted as a major phase of juvenile crustal growth in the craton.
1,181 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, an up-to-date along-strike synthesis of the Tianshan orogenic collage and a new tectonic model to explain its accretionary evolution is provided.
