Middle Paleozoic convergent orogenic belts in western Inner Mongolia (China): framework, kinematics, geochronology and implications for tectonic evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt
TLDR
Based mainly on field geological observation and geochronologic data, six tectonic units have been recognized in western Inner Mongolia (China), including, from south to north: North China Craton (NCC), Southern Orogenic Belt (SOB), Hunshandake Block (HB), Northern Orogenics Belt (NOB), South Mongolia microcontinent (SMM), and Southern margin of Ergun Block (SME), suggesting that the Tectonic framework of the CAOB is characterized by an accretion of different blocks and orogenic belts REAbout:

Tracking deep crust by zircon xenocrysts within igneous rocks from the northern Alxa, China: Constraints on the southern boundary of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt
Jianjun Zhang,Tao Wang,Lei Zhang,Ying Tong,Zhaochong Zhang,Xingjun Shi,Lei Guo,He Huang,Qidi Yang,Wei Huang,Jianxin Zhao,Ke Ye,Jiyao Hou +12 more
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed more than 270 zircon xenocrysts and considered only ages that are less than 10% discordant, finding that the area between the ZS and the YNH zones constitutes the southern boundary of the CAOB in the deep crust within this region.

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.

Trace element discrimination diagrams for the tectonic interpretation of granitic rocks
TL;DR: In this article, a data bank containing over 600 high quality trace element analyses of granites from known settings was used to demonstrate using ORG-normalized geochemical patterns and element-SiO2 plots that most of these granite groups exhibit distinctive trace element characteristics.
