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:

TL;DR: In this article, detrital zircon U-Pb-Hf isotope data for seven samples from late Permian to Triassic sedimentary units in Jilin Province, Northeast (NE) China, and use these data to constrain the timing of final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean and the late permian-to-triassic tectonic evolution of the Changchun-Yanji suture belt.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that the pyroxene diorite was generated by the partial melting of a depleted mantle metasomatized by subducted slab-derived fluids.

Blueschist metamorphism and its tectonic implication of Late Paleozoic–Early Mesozoic metabasites in the mélange zones, central Inner Mongolia, China
TL;DR: In this paper, phase equilibria modeling for three blueschist samples using pseudosection suggest that the NaM4 contents in sodic amphibole mainly decrease as temperature rises, being a potential thermometry.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented zircon U-Pb dating, whole-rock geochemistry, and Sr-Nd isotope results for the Upper Permian-Upper Triassic volcanic rocks to constrain the timing of the final closure of the eastern segment of the Palaeo-Asian Ocean.

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.
