TLDR
In this article, the Mohe Complex of the Erguna block was analyzed for metamorphism in the form of discrete zircon grains or metamorphic rims around detrital cores and they record remarkably consistent 206 Pb/ 238 U ages between 495-±2-Ma and 497-±6-Ma.

A Tale of Amalgamation of Three Permo-Triassic Collage Systems in Central Asia: Oroclines, Sutures, and Terminal Accretion

TL;DR: The Central Asian Orogenic Belt as discussed by the authors records the accretion and convergence of three collage systems that were finally rotated into two major oroclines, the Mongolia collage system was a long, N-S-oriented composite ribbon that was rotated to its current orientation when the Mongol-Okhotsk orogine was formed.

Introduction to tectonics of China

TL;DR: In the last three decades, extensive geological, geochemical and geophysical investigations have been carried out on these cratonic blocks and intervening orogenic belts, producing an abundant amount of new data and competing interpretations.

The crustal accretion history and tectonic evolution of the NE China segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt

TL;DR: The NE China Khondalite Belt as mentioned in this paper is a terrane formed by a collision between currently unidentified terranes with the Southeastern Angara-Anabar Province at about 500-Ma, where the rocks were deformed and metamorphosed to granulite facies.

Final amalgamation of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt in NE China: Paleo-Asian Ocean closure versus Paleo-Pacific plate subduction — A review of the evidence

TL;DR: The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) evolved through complex closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean from the Neoproterozoic to the late Phanerozoic.

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.

Evolution of the Altaid tectonic collage and Palaeozoic crustal growth in Eurasia

TL;DR: A new tectonic model, postulating the growth of giant subduction-accretion complexes along a single magmatic arc now found contorted between Siberia and Baltica, shows that Asia grew by 5.3 million square kilometres during the Palaeozoic era as mentioned in this paper.

In situ analysis of major and trace elements of anhydrous minerals by LA-ICP-MS without applying an internal standard

TL;DR: In this paper, an internal standard-independent calibration strategy for LA-ICP-MS analysis of anhydrous minerals and glasses was described, where the ablation yield correction factor (AYCF) was used to correct the matrix-dependent absolute amount of materials ablated during each run.
