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:

Construction of an island arc and back-arc basin system in eastern Central Asian Orogenic belt: Insights from contrasting Late Carboniferous intermediate intrusions in Central Inner Mongolia, North China
TL;DR: In this paper, an episodic Late Carboniferous intermediate to felsic intrusive suites in the West Ujimqin region of central Inner Mongolia, spanning from ca. 315-Ma granodiorites through ca. 310-Ma hornblende diorites, were investigated.

Petrogenesis and tectonic regime of two types of Neoarchaean amphibolites in the northern margin of the North China Craton
TL;DR: In this paper, the Jiefangyingzi amphibolites of the North China Craton (NCC) provide a window to understand the crust-mantle interaction in the Early Earth.

Early Permian to Late Triassic tectonics of the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt: geochronological and geochemical constraints from gabbros and granites in the northern Alxa area, NW China
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating results to infer that the final closure of the Palaeo-Asian Ocean in the central part of the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt occurred in late Permian to Early Middle Triassic times.

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.
