TLDR
In this article, 40Ar/39Ar radiometric age-dating results together with petrochemical studies of granitoid rocks from nearly all parts of Thailand strongly indicate that the granite belts (i.e. Eastern, Central and Western) form in different geological and geotectonic environments and show marked contrast in geochronological evolution.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Parallel Tethyan sutures in mainland Southeast Asia: New insights for Palaeo-Tethys closure and implications for the Indosinian orogeny
Masatoshi Sone,Ian Metcalfe +1 more
TL;DR: Sone et al. as discussed by the authors identified parallel tectonic sutures of the Devonian-Triassic Palaeo-Tethys Ocean and a Permian back-arc basin through the Yunnan-Thailand region of mainland Southeast Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tectonic model for the Tertiary evolution of strike–slip faults and rift basins in SE Asia
TL;DR: In this article, a revised tectonic model for SE Asia is proposed, which is based on the assumption that the main strike-slip faults (Mae Ping, Three Pagodas, Ranong and Klong Marui) cross Sundaland to the NW Borneo margin to facilitate continental extrusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Cretaceous-Early Palaeogene tectonic development of SE Asia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose that the origin and timing of termination of subduction has been explained by collision of a large Luconia continental fragment either during the Late Cretaceous or Palaeogene.

Closure of the East Paleotethyan Ocean and amalgamation of the Eastern Cimmerian and Southeast Asia continental fragments
Yuejun Wang,Xin Qian,Peter A. Cawood,Huichuan Liu,Qinglai Feng,Guochun Zhao,Yanhua Zhang,Huiying He,Peizhen Zhang +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the geological features of the suture zones, the bounding continental fragments and their magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentary records is presented. But uncertainty remains as to which of the many suture regions in Southeast Asia represents the relict of the main ocean, when final ocean closure occurred, and the assembly history of the Eastern Cimmerian and Southeast Asia continental fragments.
Journal ArticleDOI
An alternative plate tectonic model for the Palaeozoic–Early Mesozoic Palaeotethyan evolution of Southeast Asia (Northern Thailand–Burma)
TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative model for the geodynamic evolution of Southeast Asia is proposed and inserted in a modern plate tectonic model, which is based on dynamic plate boundaries, constrained by data such as spreading rates and subduction velocities; in this way it differs from classical continental drift models proposed so far.

To each plutonic rock its proper name

The Magnetite-series and Ilmenite-series Granitic Rocks
TL;DR: The magnetite-series granitoids are considered to have been generated in a deep level (upper mantle and lowest crust) and not to have interacted with C-bearing materials as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ophiolite in Southeast Asia
TL;DR: The only well-documented complete ophiolite, with continuous conformable sections from mantle harzburgite through gabbro to spilite, occurs in northeast Borneo and the neighboring Philippine Islands as mentioned in this paper.
