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 RE

Source-to-sink of Late carboniferous Ordos Basin: Constraints on crustal accretion margins converting to orogenic belts bounding the North China Block

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated analysis of stratigraphy, petrography, and U-Pb dates and Hf isotopes on detrital zircons was performed to investigate its provenance and relationships to the progressive collisions that formed the Xing’an-Mongolia Orogenic Belt to the north and the Qinling Orogenetic Belt to south.

Geochemistry and geochronology of the mafic dikes in the Taipusi area, northern margin of North China Craton: Implications for Silurian tectonic evolution of the Central Asian Orogen

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented first-hand whole-rock major and trace elements, zircon U-Pb geochronology and in situ trace element geochemistry data for these mafic rocks, which reveal their petrogenesis and tectonic evolution.

Petrography, geochemistry, and U–Pb detrital zircon dating of early Permian sedimentary rocks from the North Flank of the North China Craton: Implications for the late Palaeozoic tectonic evolution of the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt

TL;DR: In this paper, the detrital zircon ages from the sandstones of the Hugete Formation include age modes at approximately 2500 and 1800-Ma, with smaller modes at 380-404 and 288.2-8.2

In situ U-Pb zircon dating of Devonian sandstones and Paleoproterozoic gneissic granites in the Imjingang Belt: Tectonic implications for the Korean Peninsula and North China

TL;DR: In this paper, a geochronological study on magmatic zircons in three Paleoproterozoic gneissic granites and detrital zirons in four clastic rocks of the Imjin Group is presented.

Chemical and isotopic systematics of oceanic basalt : implications for mantle composition and processes

S. S. Sun
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.
