TLDR
In this article, a new name, Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai Suture Zone, is proposed for the Palaeo-Tethys suture in northern Thailand that forms the boundary between the Sibumasu Terrane and the Sukhothai Arc terrane.About:

Geological reconstructions of the East Asian blocks: From the breakup of Rodinia to the assembly of Pangea
Guochun Zhao,Guochun Zhao,Yuejun Wang,Baochun Huang,Yunpeng Dong,Sanzhong Li,Guowei Zhang,Shan Yu +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out geological and paleomagnetic investigations on East Asian blocks and associated orogenic belts, supported by a NSFC Major Program entitled “Reconstructions of East Asian Blocks in Pangea”.

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.

Tectonic Evolution of Sundaland
TL;DR: Sundaland as discussed by the authors is a heterogeneous collage of continental blocks and volcanic arcs bounded by narrow suture zones that represent the remnants of ancient ocean basins, including the Palaeo-Tethys and Meso-tethys.

Multiple Tethyan ocean basins and orogenic belts in Asia
TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the Tethyan ocean basins in Asia illustrates that Asia has been a giant convergent zone for more than 500 million years, and the Phanerozoic construction and evolution of Asia involved the opening and closure of Tithyan ocean basin and the collision and accretion of Gondwana-derived continental blocks and the Indian Craton Subduction processes, arc and back-arc basin generation, and continent-continent and arccontinent collisions led to the principal orogenic events.

Tectonic evolution of the West Kunlun Orogenic Belt along the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau: Implications for the assembly of the Tarim terrane to Gondwana
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper reported new field observations, zircon and monazite U-Pb ages of the "Precambrian basement" of the South Kunlun terrane (SKT) and the Tianshuihai terane (TSHT), two major terranes in the WKOB.

Gondwana dispersion and Asian accretion: Tectonic and palaeogeographic evolution of eastern Tethys
Ian Metcalfe,Ian Metcalfe +1 more
TL;DR: The Phanerozoic evolution of the region is the result of more than 400 million years of continental dispersion from Gondwana and plate tectonic convergence, collision and accretion as discussed by the authors.

Tectonic framework and Phanerozoic evolution of Sundaland
Ian Metcalfe,Ian Metcalfe +1 more
TL;DR: Sundaland comprises a heterogeneous collage of continental blocks derived from the India-Australian margin of eastern Gondwana and assembled by the closure of multiple Tethyan and back-arc ocean basins now represented by suture zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Permian tectonic framework and palaeogeography of SE Asia
TL;DR: In this paper, the main Palaeo-Tethys ocean in Thailand is identified as being represented by the Chiang Mai and Sra Kaeo sutures, and the eastern boundary of the Sibumasu terrane is thus interpreted to lie farther west in Thailand than previously inferred.

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.

Accreted oceanic materials in Japan
TL;DR: In this paper, a compilation of these rocks in many subduction complexes of Late Permian to the present, led to following conclusions: the major process for landward accretion of oceanic materials is not offscraping or sedimentary mixing at the trench, but underplating (subcretion) at much deeper levels of a subduction zone.
