Final amalgamation of the Tianshan and Junggar orogenic collage in the southwestern Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Constraints on the closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean
TL;DR: The Tianshan and Junggar orogenic collage occupied the southwestern part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt and was assembled by collision/accretion of several continental blocks and island arcs during late Paleozoic-early Mesozoic time.

Mesoproterozoic continental arc magmatism and crustal growth in the eastern Central Tianshan Arc Terrane of the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Geochronological and geochemical evidence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a systematic zircon U-Pb dating and Hf isotope studies of Mesoproterozoic gneissic granitoids from the eastern Central Tianshan Arc Terrane (CTA) of the southern CAOB.

Early Paleozoic tectonics of Asia: Towards a full-plate model
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of salient geologic observations and paleomagnetic data from the various continental blocks and terranes of Asia is followed by the presentation of a new, full-plate tectonic model of the region from middle Cambrian to end-Silurian time (500-420 ǫ).

Record of assembly and breakup of Rodinia in the Southwestern Altaids: Evidence from Neoproterozoic magmatism in the Chinese Western Tianshan Orogen
TL;DR: In this paper, a bimodal intrusive complex exposed in the Chinese Western Tianshan Orogen was geochemically and geochronologically studied to evaluate the assembly and breakup of Rodinia in the Southwestern Altaids.

Chemical and isotopic systematics of oceanic basalt : implications for mantle composition and processes
TL;DR: In this article, trace-element data for mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts are used to formulate chemical systematics for oceanic basalts, interpreted in terms of partial-melting conditions, variations in residual mineralogy, involvement of subducted sediment, recycling of oceanic lithosphere and processes within the low velocity zone.

A-type granites: geochemical characteristics, discrimination and petrogenesis
TL;DR: A-type granites as mentioned in this paper were found to have high SiO2, Na2O+K2O, Fe/Mg, Ga/Al, Zr, Nb, Ga, Y and Ce, and low CaO and Sr.

The application of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry to in situ U–Pb zircon geochronology
TL;DR: In this paper, a laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (LA-ICP-MS) was used for in situ U-Pb zircon geochronology.

Correction of common lead in U-Pb analyses that do not report 204Pb
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a correction method that neither uses 204Pb nor assumes concordance, but uses a numeric solution to a set of equations relating the content of radiogenic lead in a zircon or other U/Th-enriched mineral to its total lead content.
