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:

Tectonic attribution of the Langshan area in western Inner Mongolia and implications for the Neoarchean–Paleoproterozoic evolution of the Western North China Craton: Evidence from LA-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb dating of the Langshan basement
TL;DR: In this article, new LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb ages of four gneisses, one amphibolite, and three granites, combined with previously published age data from Langshan basement rocks, indicate that the Langshans area may be subdivided into the main and the southern regions.

Juvenile crustal recycling in an accretionary orogen: Insights from contrasting Early Permian granites from central Inner Mongolia, North China
TL;DR: In this paper, three contrasting Early Permian granites from Erenhot of central Inner Mongolia, eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) and reveals concurrent high-K calc-alkaline to alkaline granite association derived from successive partial melting of distinct protoliths.

Late Neoarchean crust-mantle geodynamics : evidence from Pingquan Complex of the Northern Hebei Province, North China Craton
Wei Wang,Wei Wang,Wei Wang,Shuwen Liu,Peter A. Cawood,Peter A. Cawood,Rongrong Guo,Xi Xiang Bai,Boran Guo +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a late Neoarchean intra-oceanic arc along the northwestern margin of Eastern Block (EB), North China Craton, provides important insights into the nature of Archean mantle sources and crust-mantle geodynamics.

Subduction-related metasomatic mantle source in the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Evidence from amphibolites in the Xilingol Complex, Inner Mongolia, China
Yilong Li,Fraukje M. Brouwer,Wenjiao Xiao,Kuo-Lung Wang,Yuan-Hsi Lee,Biji Luo,Yuping Su,Jianping Zheng +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of amphibolites from the Xilingol complex of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) were studied and an integrated study of the petrology, geochemistry, and geochronology of a suite from the complex constrains the nature of the mantle source and the tectono-metamorphic events in the belt.

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.
